SAYS Witness Declared Only One Man Lived at 2136 Walnut Street and That the Occupant of the Factory So Admitted. Slow progress was made in’ the Wagon- er-Butler contest hearing today. It was ll o'clock when the proceedings opened. William D. Koch of 3706 Marchester, liv- ing in the Thirteenth precinct of the Twen- ty-third ward, testified to irregularities on election day. He saw 25 negroes at his polling place whom he was positive did not live in the precinct. On cross-examination witness admitted he was not acquainted with: all the voters of his precinct. He knows about 250 voters, and there are probably 1000 whom he does nof know. Mr. Koch was not familiag with dissen- sions among the Twelfth district Republi- cans; never heard of E. H. Loffhagen. Subsequently \witness stated he under- stood Loffhagen was.a candidate, but with- drew in the interest of harmony. He wus not a politician, and js allied with no Republican faction. He thought the election was a one-sided affair; that the Democrats had the best of the situation. THE SECOND WITNESS. George Lourtrey, 3730 Manchester avenue, is well acquainted in the Thirteenth pre- einct of the Twenty-third ward, having lived there 43 years. In his judgment the precinct contains 25 negroes. day he saw approximately 50 negroes at the polling place, . file. It was the common impression in the neighborhood that these men had no right to vote. Cross-examined by Mr. Butler, he de- clared that he could not testify that there are only 25 negroes in the precinct. His testimony was based upon personal ob- servation. Nobody told him the negroes were not entitled to vote, but that was his best opinion. He is a Republican, but not a partisan Prior to the last election he was aware o a Republican split and did not think th differences benefited that party. Witness could not say whether all Republicans in hig precinct voted. The first witness before Notary Saunders was L. J. Hoeslie, a teamster. 2016 Market street. He served as Republican judge at Precinct 4, Ward 1. on election day. He testified that the premises at 2136 Wal- niit street is occupied as’a soda water factory. Ben Rosenthal is the only person living there. Witness has Hved in the neighborhood over twenty years. Rosen- thal told him that he was the only occu- pant at 2136 Walnut street. Witness did ret know how many rooms the house con- tains. The registration list shows 22 voters liying there, PROTESTED REPEATING. Witness did not know whether more than one person voted from that number, Wit- néss said that he protested against repeat- ing at the Fourth precinct seven or eight times on election day On cross-examinat on by Mr. Rowe. wit- ness said the only illegal voting at his pre- cinct on election ! was from 2136, so far as he knew, and the only way he knew they were illegal was because only one man lived at that number. H. Cohner, 2029 Market street, testified he was a Republican clerk at Precinct 4, Ward 14, on election day. He assisted in shape the registration list of that pre- cinct fe sald he visited 2136 Walnut street, from where 22 persons were registered. It was the second day of the registration. He saw Mr. Rosenthal, who lives at that num- ber “What did he say?’ “He said no one lived there but himself and his family,.”’ Witness says he told the judges of elec- tion that 21 of the persons registered from 2136 Walnut street did not live there, but they refused to scratch' them off. On elec- tion day, witness testified, Mr. Rosenthal did not vote, but nineteen or twenty votes were cast from 2136-Walnut street. On cross-txamination witness admitted that he signed the election returns. Wit- ness said he did not challenge any voters because that was the duty of the pose ‘He simplv acted in the capacity of clerk Witness Gohner said he knew none of the persons regestered from 2136 Walnut street. He said he sent notices to all names registered from there, to come around on revision day, but none of them reported. The names, however, were voted upon election day. OBJECTED TO TESTIMONY. Mr. Butler objected to testimony of Koch and Laubrey on the ground he had not _been notified they were to appear as wit- nesses. He also interposed the same objec- tion to testimony of John Burmeister of 3700 Manchester avenue. There are only two ‘legal voters living at his house, but six or seven were registered from there. If these _— were entitled to vote he would know Cross-examination by Mr. Butler: “You are a Republican?” “Well, that’s my business?’ Mi there a sta le in the rear of your Place? “Yes; it is run by a man named Frank Guerke.”’ The names of eight persons registered as On election | They were lined up in double | assisted n revising regis- tration i'sts.. He investigated “pad registration. — i Market street there were 45 reg- hesat He said he saw the ‘landlady, who told him she did not know the names of all persons living there. Witness was shown a list of her .~and then she remarked’ “I have one man stopping here who goes under three different names Democratic clerk read off a list of names and landiady then said: “Oh, yes, they are living here.’ Witness then reterred to oot tl at 813 Market stree ‘‘There is a saloon there,’ said witness. “The proprietor. told us that 37 persons } pe were on the registration lists lived there.’ “Did you, ask him about the names of his guests?’ “We did. A Democratic clerk was ac- quainted with a man standing in the door and invited him to have a drink. “We atruck off 1* names registered from $13. Market, when the proprietor did not identify the mgn as we mentioned them. PERMITTED NO IRREGULARITIES. Witness was asked if he knew J. Percival Adams. He replied that he did and under- stood Mr. Adams lived on Kossuth avenue. Adams has an office at .1008 Chestnut street. Raddatz also knew John Gernez, the law- er. Gernez acted as judge at election. je assumed his duties abowit 7 o'clock in the evening and assisted in the count of ballots. John J. McNerney was Democratic judge during the day. J. Percival Adams relieved Mr. McNerney. He placed the initials on the ballots. Witness said Adams was very active dur- ng the day. ross-examination by Mr. Rowe: “Do you know John A. Gernez was a can- didate for the legislature on the Repub- lican ticket two years ago? fice don’t. I know he ran for some of- ce ’? “Don’t you know he has been an active Republican for 10 years?’’ “No, I don'’t.’’ “Weren't you ever afflicted with one of Percival Adams’ Repubiican speeches?” “T was not. I do not know what his poli- tics are or have been.’ Witness did not permit any irregularities in registration lists. Henry Scheer, who served as judge in the Thirteenth precinct of the Twenty- third ward, was called, having stated to Attorney Itichey that he omitted certa’n information when he testified Wednesday. On the night of election, witness said, he went with Democratic and. Republican ‘judge and clerk with ballet boxes to the City Hall, but that the election coinmis- sioners refused to receive it, becrnuse the not made out and three pollbooks were signed. ‘“‘"The Democratic judge and clerk went home and 1 returned again to the City Hall with the unsigned pollbooks and left them there with a clerk. “Two days after election a policeman and clerk from the election commissioner's of- fice came to my house and told me I was wanted at the election commissioners’ - fice. I went down and Mr. McCaffrey said I should sign the pollbooks. I did so be- cause I was afraid to refuse.”’ Attorney Rowe, cross-examining witness, asked: “Did Mr. McC affrey, like Banquo’s ghost, throw you into fits?’ “No, I don't think he did.’”’ “Did you have neuralgia of the conscience when you testified here the other day? ‘¢ don’t think I did.” ‘“*Then why didn’ t you ‘tell about this in- cident, then? “¥ didn’t remember it.”’ At the conclusion of Scheer’s testimony the hearing was adjourned to Monday morning at 10 o'clock.

LIVED ON BARRIGER'S BOUNTY IMAGINED RAILROAD OFFICES CONSPIRED AGAINST HIM. Slayer of Popular Civil Engineer Be- lieved to Have Been Wrecked by Whisky and Drugs. An inquest over the body of John W. Barriger, who was murdered by Thompson Morton yesterday, will be held Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Morton's attempt to kill himself by taking poison was unsuccessful. He admitted this morning he took the poison while he was being held on the floor, just after he stabbed Barriger. Police investigations reveal the fact that the murderer, once a talented civil enginéer, has become a moral degenerate who ex- pected others to provide him with an easy means of earning a living. Whisky and perhaps drugs have brought about‘the de- terioration in his character. There was no rational motive for the crime. It is the theory of the police, how- ever, that Morton, just before he stabbed Barriger, had asked him to’ die him money or to get him a job, and, upon Barriger's refusal, plunged the knife into his body, aiming at the heart. In his cell at the City Hospital Morton is as reticent as he was yesterday as to why he killed the man who had befriended him. The police believe that Morton's equivocal statements yesterday that he would not explain his motive were mere incoherent attempts to make believe that he really had some reason to be angry with Barriger; that after Morton committed the crime he realized how dastardly and utterly un- justifiable it would appear if he told the truth and said he had killed his friend be- cause an unreasonable request had been re- fused. Dr, Nietert, superintendent of the City Hospital, has talked with Morton a great deal, and is inclined to believe the man’s mind is affected. Morton would lie on his back and make incoherent replies to ques- tions, and a few rainutes afterward would revert to the same auestion again, and, In a rambling way, give another kind of a reply. A man who said he had been a college friend of Morton's called on him at the hospital last evening, and the two had a but when the visitor Merton conversation, long about the murder asked Morton merely said: “it had to come; But he would not tell why. refused to give his name. Dr. Nietert renewed his questions, and Morton told him he had bougtt the bdichlo- ride of mercury tablets at a drug store in the vicinity of Sixth and Locust stfeets, but he could not recollect the name of the druggist. Mortgop said he had obtained the poison several days ago, and that he had used it as a medicine. He went on to tell Dr. Nietert how he had arried the tablets loose in his pockets, nd that when the attaches of Rarriger’s office were holding him on the floor and kicking him he reached in his pocket and got the tablets, which he swallowed. He said he was lying face downward at the time. and the clerks were so busy in making sure Hie did not escape that they did not him s!'p the poison into his mouth. it had to come.” The friend observe MAY HAVE WANTED MONEY. No one knows whether Morton asked for money or work just before he committed the cowardly act, but it is the theory of the clerks in the office of the St. Louis, Memphis & Southeastern, where the mur- der was committed, that Morton wanted money. -They point out the fact that “Bar- riger was not the man to whom an appli- cation for employment should be made. Chief Engineer Gavin, who hires all the engineers sent from St. Louis, never. saw Morton until he saw him on top of Bar- riger, knife in hand, The only part Barriger could have taken in giving Morton employment was to rec- ommend him and to apprise him of vacan- cies, of which Barriger would be likely to learn. Barriger already had promised to notify Morton promptly if he heard of any va- cancy, but Morton called at Barriger’s of- fice two or three times a week. The pur- pose of such calls is presumed to have been to get enough money to defray his’ living expenses. This theory is corroborated by the clerk at the Oxford Hotel, Seventh and St. Charles streets, where Morton stayed be- fore he went to the Globe Hotel, 112 North Sixth street. At the Oxford it is stated that Morton had said more than once that. he would go to see a friend and get money enough to pay for his room, and that he often went out and returned in a few minutes with the room rent. Morton first stopped at the Oxford Hotel last October. It is said that he drank only a few glasses. of beer while he was there, and sometimes was hear to sing songs. When he went: away he told an employe of the hotel he had to move. He was there for a few days and then departed, returning in about a week. Off and on he stayed at the Oxford until Dec. 12, when he told an employe of the hotel that he had to move to a cheaper place, but He would retirn again as soon as he had seen a friend. ‘ WAS MOODY AT HOTEL. In great contrast to Morton's demeanor at the Oxford is the way he acted at the Globe Hotel. While he was at that house he sat with his head in his hands pr spent his time figuring, writing and reading. He had very little to say to any of tha other lodgers. Wednesday evening he was un- usually moody. While in the office of the Globe Hotel that evening he put his foot on a rickety chair and smashed. it. The clerk told him he would better get an ax, and Mortor replied he would if ’ presumed to centain draughting instru- been examined hy the police. The clerks at railway office are con- fident that ho other mative than Barri- ger's denial of Morton's request incnteu rue murder. Barriger was a young man noted for his good nature, and seldom had a harsh word |}- {for any one. If he denied Morton's remqiest the clerks say it was because hé coyld not grant it. Barriger was the only attache of the off_ics who ever had anything to do with Morton, and it was characteristic of Barriger’s kindly disposition that his mere acquaintance with Morten when they had worked together induced him to. make ef- forts to obtain work for the man, and to give him enough money to live on from time to time, A characteristic incident illustrating the vaciating mind of the mif{dedrer was learned this morring. Thursday Morton went to the offices of the Frisco railwey in the Commercia! building and called on Assistant Chief En- gineer Taylor, who had met him, and knowing him to have been once a compe- tent railway man, tolerated him. TALKED AGAINST BARRIGER. On the occasion of this visit, however, Morton started to say some things uncom- plimentary to Barriger, and«Taylor stopped him immediately. Knowing how Barriger had befriended Morton, Taylcf was angry. Morton, receiving a harsh reply from Tay- lor, left the offive, but he returned pres- ently and said that perhaps he was miistak- en about HMarriger. “I Gon’t consi¢er myself the only enai- neer in the world,” said Morton, thus. in- dicating that what he had been going to say about Barvriger related to some dis- agreement about work. Morten then showed Taylor a lettar which, he said, he was going to send ‘to the chief engineers of railwags in St. Louis. The letter had been written for Morton by a stenographer, but was almost incoherent. In it Morton made the declaration, that the railways had conspired against him, ard would not give him work. It stated that Morton owed about $400 in St. Louis, and that if any of the engineers would give him work he would turn over his salary to pay that $00, ahd when it was paid would gct out of railroading forever. Attached to this letter was a recom- mendati.n from Barriger, but it “was an cld one. Taylor told Morton it was useless to send such a letter as an application fer eanployment and Morton Jeft. He seemed to be partly irrational, and Taylor says he smelled liquor on Moarton’s breath. Some two weeks prior to that Morton had called at the offices of the Frisco and a young man who was visiting Engineer Taylor remarked that Morton was a desperate looking fellow. ‘“‘He is desperate,’’ answered Taylor. Just then Morton returned and said: “Well, if T can’t get work railroading, I guess ‘ll have to take off my coat and go at manual labor.” “That's what you ought to do,” said Taylor and Morton went away disgusted. Chief Engineer Gavin of the $f, Louis; Memphis & Southeastern, atid tee other employes of the offices fe ranite building djeny that Morton was ever dis- charged from that railway.

Supposed Youthful Burglars Wounded Hotel Proprietor, DAUGHTER DISCOVERED THEM SHE HELD YOUNG DESPERADOES AT BAY SEVERAL MINUTES. One of Them Was Captured—Lads Reg- istered Last Night at Columbia Hotel on Chestnut Street— Girl Saw Them Climbing Into Another Room. Four daring boys, supposed to be bur- glars,.were held at bay by a plucky girl for several minutes at the Columbia Hotel, 904 Chestnut street, this morning, but all except one of them managed to escape after stab- bing both Joseph’Jelica and his wife, pro- prietors of the hotel. The wounds of the Jelicas are not dangerous. *The desperate efforts of the youths to get away,haye made the police believe that they are the ones who robbed the Bates Hotel, Ninth and Pine streets, recently. Last evening four boys registered at the Columbia Hotel. They wrote these names on the register, Wesley Simon, William Smith, Frank Smith and John Smith. Two of them were assigned to rooms on the second floor and two t6 a room on the third floor. Early this morning Miss Emma Jelica, daughter of the proprietor of the notel, tried the door of a room ccupied by a reg- ular patron of the house, named McLeod. The door was locked, and she knew that McLeod had gone out, therefore she thought there was something ‘wrong. Just then one of the lads opened the door of an adjoining room, and, she says, she saw two of them crawling through a window which opened into ‘the room occu- pled by McLeod, She “taxed the boy at the door with try- ing to rob McLeod's room, but he de- nied it. “You'll have to stay here until I call an officer,’’ said the girl. She screamed, and when ‘Mrs. Jelica ap- peared at the foot of the stairs she was sent for a policeman. When Mrs. Jelica was part way down the steirs the boy who had registered as W. John Smith, dashed by both the girl and her mother, but Jelica himself was at the foot of the stairs, and caught the boy. William Wallace, a isahver, was asked to hold the prisoner. Wallace took charge of him, but the boy drew a knife and threat- ened Wallace until Wallace decided to let him go. Meanwhile Jelica had gone upstairs to help his daughter detain the others, while Mrs. Jelica went on her way for an of- ficer. Another one of the lads was trying to get away, and was’ struggling with Emma Jelica. Jelica took a hand in the encounter, but the lad drew a pocket knife and struck Jelica on the arm. Jelica let loose of him and on the way down stairs the fugitive met Mrs. Jelica and he struck at her with the knife, in- ficting a light wound in her arm. Just as he was about to get away a po- liceman entered the hotel and\caught him. He gave his name as Wesley Simon, 817 Lafayette avenue. CRAWLED ONTO ROOF. When the door of the room was opened it was found the two boys who had been in the room had got away by crawling out Beg za oe Sane eb er Councilman ‘Hen Store Open Until 9:30 P. M.

No, he never did any of these, because He never, no, never saw Santa Claus. Ah, imagine what must the feeling. be Of a boy so lonesome and sad as he!

NEWS OF THE LABOR UNIONS eo. . —— — > ee ee ee Since the conference between the com- mittees of the Carriage Drivers’ Union and the Carriage Owners’ Association, which took place Friday morning in the private office of one of the large livery establishments, there appears to be a feel- ing on both sides that the differences be- tween men and employes will be satisfac- torily adjusted and the strike on Christmas Day happily averted. At Friday's conference the committee for the men, Chris Quinn, J. Hayden and Gus Walther, informed the committee for the owners, J. D. Marshall, John Sheehan, L. Lambogt, Frank Witt and Gus Bensiek, that the union drivers asked for $ll a wees as a minimum wage scale. The employers are to accept the demand by Dec. 2% and the scale is to go into effect on New Year's ay. In the event that no agreement is reached the drivers will not report for work on Christmas Day. The strike will only appiy to those owners who refuse to sign the scale. Those who do will experience no inconvenience whatever. The committee for the employers will make their report to the association and the drivers will meet Sunday to hear the report of their committee. Both committees will again confer the coming week, when a satisiac- tory adjustment is expected. At the last meeting of the St. Louls The- atrical Brotherhood the following officers were chosen for the ensuing term: Presi- dent, John Suarez; vice-president, W. R. Conners; recording secretary. W.

Lilli Lehmann, the famous dramatic s0- prano and opponent of the use of birds’ plumage on hats, is at home in Berlin, says,the New York Sun, where she lives frugally on the substantial accumulations of some 30 years of industry, economy and prudenee. It was always predicted that Mme. Lehmann, would not be found suffer- ing from want: in her old age. Of course, she is not‘old yet. She is 52, and she has been on the stage 34 years. She says s0 herself in the intrcduction to her book on singing, which the Macmillans maye just published. The English title of the book, dais was trabslated by Richard Aldrich, the accom- plished musical editor of the New York Times, is ‘“‘How to Sing.” The German title is ‘‘Meine Gesangskunst,” which means ‘‘My Art of Song.” The innate ¢hod- esty of this title is characteristic of Mme. Lehmann. The book, however, is a notable contrihu- tion to the literature of vocal art. It is the fullest and most technical explanation of the method of singing now to be found in Erglish. It is severely practical and, Will ke invaluable to teachers and stu@$nts. Mnie. Lehmann may be too modest, but her book praises her’by its excellence. . One of the most interesting volumes in ‘the “Story of the Nations’’ series is ‘‘The Papal Monarchy,” by William Barry. This book deals not with the Pope as a teacher, but ‘fas a ruler of men, in af- fairs which may be reviewed under a sec- ular ag well as q religious aspect.” The story, beginning in the faraway twi- light of. apostolic Gays, is carried to the culmination of the papal power and the death of Boniface VIII in 1303. The book is thcrough, scholarly and elo- quent. An interesting subject is most 'n- terestingly treated.—(‘The Papa! Mon- archy,’’ by William Barry -D. D. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York.) The title of Charles Wagner’s new’ book, which McClure, Phillips & Co. will publish early in the apring, will be ‘The Better Way.” Wagner is the picturesque pastor of the Lutheran Church in Parts, whose doctrines of simp’icity and sanity in modes of living ave so impressed that gay cap- ital. His previous book, “The, Simple Life,” is now in its sixth edition. This is the volume which President Roosevelt men- tioned in several of his public speeches, say- ing he wished it could be used as a tract throughout the country. The death of the widely known pastor of the City Temple, London, will lead to the earlier publication of “‘The Life of Joseph Parker,’’ by his long-time friend and asso- ciate, Dr. William Adamson, which the Fleming H. Revell Co. had announced as in preparation. The author is adding a final chapter relating to to the last days. The McMillan Co., 0.” who are Edward FitzGerald’s publishers in America, are bringing out “The Works of Edward Fitz- Gerald,”’ edited by W. Aldis Wright. It will be a handsome edition in seven volumes, containing all FitzGerald’s published works, including the several series of letters, which EE Se TE SS SN A TT EN AE EEE NOT DUE TO CLISIATE. Catarrh Is Found Everywhere. Catarrh is at home anywhere and every- where. While more common in cold, changeable climates, it is by no means confined to them, but is prevalent in ev- ery state and territory in the union. The common definition of catarrh is a ehronie cold in the head, which if long eglected often destroys the sense of tell and hearing; but there are many wei forms of the disease, even more ob- stinate and dangerous. Catarrh of the .throat and bronchial tubes as well as catarrh of the stomach and liver are almost as common as nasas eatarrh and generally more difficult to cure. Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood disease and can only be successfully eradicated by an internal treatment. Sprays, washes and powders are useless as far as reach- ing the real seat of the disease is con- cerned. Dn Mclverney advises catarrh suffer- ers to use @ new preparation, sold by druggists, called Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, because actual-analysis has shown these tablets to contain certain antiseptic qual- ities of the highest value and being an internal remedy, pleasant to the taste, convenient and harmless, can be used as freely as required, as well for children as for adults. An attorney tind public speaker, who had been a catarrh sufferer for years, says: “Every fall I would catch a cold which would settle in my head throat and hang on all winter long and every winter it seemed to get a little worse. I was Bor tinually clea ,my throat and m became af ‘to such an exten interfere with my public speaking. “I tried troches and ante cough cures time, ee | pas) ee | wel mg - for this - The vy monthly from Docdbher" edition will Strictly limited to 20 2ets, and will be the properly authorized edition of FitzGerald.

Lillian Bell, in the sevond of her “Talks to Spinsters’’ in Harper’s Bazar for Jan- uary, shows conclusively that the climate has all to do with making gingle women become ‘‘old maids."’ The title of her pap2r is ‘‘On the Tendency Toward Crabbedness,”’ and ehe proves that if all the spinsters in New land could be sent to the seuthern states he race would die out at once.

BERSCH HAS NOW TEN YEARS’ IMPRISONMENT OVER- HANGING HIM. Motion for New Trial Was Filed and Defendants Were Released on Bond Pending Hearing of the Petition. The special jury inpanelled to hear the bribery charges against Charles J, Denny, Charlies Gutke, John A. Sheridan, Edmund Bersch and T) Ed Albright returned a ver- dict of guilty at 6 o'clock last evening and" fixed the punishment ot each of the de- fendants at five years in the penitentiary. Edmund Bersch now has ten years’ im- prisonment hanging over his head, for he was convicted of perjury in connection witb the Suburban bill. Charles J. Denny aleo has two years’ imprisonment in addition to the punish- ment decided upon by the jury yesterday. He, too, was convicted of perjury in con- nection with the Suburban Dill.’ After the jury had been discharged last évening by Judge Ryan, counsel for the de- ferdants moved for a new trial. The jury was not polled. : , All of the defendants were admitted tc bond pending the hearing of the motion. Judge Ryan with Circuit Attorney Folk accepted the sureties on the bonds the de- fendants had already given. The amount, too, was the same, $15,000. W. H, O’Brien and James H. Brady Signed Albright’s bond. George Eyermann and Ed Butler signed for Gutke, Ed But- ler signed for Denny, Bersch and Sheridan. Sheridan's former bondsman, Martin Shaughnessy, ‘s out,of the city. ~ The trials required hve days, and the evi- dence was practically the same as that given in the trial of John H. Schnettler. It went over the ground already covered in the former: trials of Meysenberg, Denny, Rersch, Faulkner and Lehmann. The men were charged with bribery in connection with the lighting bill. Judge Krum, in Sheridan's case, relied upon the fact that the state’s own evi- dence showed Sheridan wa... not a duly constituted member of the House of Dele- gates, but in overruling a demurrer Judge Ryan declared Sheridan to be a de facto member and responszible for his acts. Each side by agreement restricted itself to one hour’s argument. Mr. Bishop opened for the state and was followed by Mr. Ma- roney. Mr. Rassfeur began for the defense and Mr. Gernez closed. Their arguments were pleas to the jury to disregard the statements made by persons who were seif- confessed members of the boodlers’ com- bine. Circuit Attorney Folk closed for the state. He spoke 80 minutes. This makes 14 boodle cases that Circuit Attorney Folk has prosecuted, obtaining convictions in 13 cases, The’ next case on the docket is that of former Speaker ef the House of Delegates Charlies F. Kelly. His trial is set for Jan. 56. The trials of Jerre J. Hannigan and Emil Hartmann, to follow Kelly's, will wind up the prosecutions.

The copy expressed regret that she could not marry, but suggested her 12-year-old sister be raised to love one of them. The upshot was a compromise. They agreed there should be no suit. The Crate fords were rich, and Mme. Humbert—what They would wait until Marie grew up. Meanwhile the one of the uncle should be kept in & safe in M Humbert’s house clos tight, with the official seal of the French courts upon it. sow fe agreeme they embodied in a p PR ch was put on file in the courts as part of the recarts of the litigation of the Crawford millions. All Paris heard the story. Fa- vored ones were permitted a glimpse of the miassive irdm vault which was built into the wall next to Mme. Humbert's own boudoir for the reception of tha Urawford millions. The money was converted into French rentes. The piles of valuable pa- ore certificates and what not were placed many great red envelo — and all were cekaralt stowed away in de the huge iron receptacle. The presence of this fortune gave the brilliant mistress a new impor- tance in the eyes of society. An atmos- pete of romance and mystery seemed to ¢long to her. At the brilliant gatherings in the Hum- bert saloon gossip frequently turned to the locked up lions in m e's bou- doir. )&he laughed gayly of tle"hffair, as though the stowing away $20,000,000 for a half dozen years or more Were a matter of small cwi:cern. “Isn't it tou bad?” she would ask laugh- ingly, “‘to have all that money locked up and not be able to spend it. Just think of the things one could buy with it,"' and she sighed, while the company. laughed. CHAPTER III. Gathering the First Fruits of the Planted Millions. Maitre Parmentier, the leading lawyer of Havre, a brilliant advocate and known all over France, was walking one day on the wharves deep in meditatiqn. He was inter- rupted by a man of elegant address, who abruptly said that he had come to engage him to represent him in a case. ‘*T do not give consultations in the street,” said M. Parmentier. “Come to my office tomorrow.” “It is a matter of 10,000,000 francs,”’ said the stranger, who came promptly the next FermenGes nese at the man, ee open a draw- @ t »the man coolly went on, holding out a eg sorane him. “You may have any fee wan cempentier took the check and the case.

Mrs. Olive Morgan is celebrating today her eightieth birthday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Belle White of 3359 Pine street. In her honor her daughters, Mrs. White and Mrs. Conrad Nau, gave a Inucheon which was attended by 30 of her friends. The house was decorated with smilax and roses and the centerpiece of the dining table was a large birthday cake with the figure 80 in pink candles. Mrs. Morgan was born in Columbia, IIL., when that town was a village of five houses. She came to St. Louis as the bride of Lloyd Prather, a well-known archi- tect of that time, when she was but 16. Before her marriage she used to visit in St. Louis, ceqming by wagon on the: old state road that connected St. Louis and Kaskaskia, crossing from East 8t. Louis on the ferry. She went to school at the little school- house that was then just outside of Co- lumbia. She used an English reader and later had a New York reader and a geog- raphy. To this day she remembers the pictures that were in her. blue-backed spelling book and can tell the stories that were told therein of the pictures. stage coach touk passengers from Kas- kaskia to St. Louis. She visited in St. Louis when the only phureh was a Catholic church made of . That was before the cathedral was wird At that time there was a little log church in Cahokia. The first brick house *that Mrs. Morgan ever saw was the one of Col. Jarrot in Cahokia. She was married in March. 1839.’ The Easter after her marriage she attended services in the present cathedral near Sec- ttl eat tl a od —_— — wie. -— " ee ge MRS; OLIVE MORGAN. was at Third and Spruce streets. Later she moved to Second and Hazel streets. When her husband in the early 40s was digging for the foundation of a number of houses on the south side of Market street, betweem’ Second and Main streets, he found many skeletons. One was the body of a woman whose hair had grown to a great length. As soon as the hair was exposed to the light and air it fell to pieces. Bhortiy after Mrs. Morgan came to Bt. Louis churches of the Methodist, Presby- terian and Baptist denominations were es- tablished on Fourth street. Her husband designed many of the builld- ings then erected.

In every tribunal, from the court of first instance to the court of cassation the cas? was fought. A dozen eminent lawyers were engaged on the two sides. With first a vic- tory for the nephews and then a victory for Mme. Humbert this case pushed its way to the highest court of appeals in France. Maitre du Buit, Maitre Lanquest and Maitre Parmentier ably | defended Mme. Humbert. Banker Girard of Lyons was one of the first to advance money to Mme. Humbert.’ Many thousan of francs were loaned by him to the woman of millions. In 1891 he asked for ga settlement—the first to do so. A few days later he received a letter offer- ing to buY up the debt for poiitical reasons. The shrewd banker took the bait. If the debt was good for litical reasons it was good for him. So he held on, and Jater advanced another million francs. CHAPTER IV. The First Attempt to Expose the Gi- gantic Swindle. It was M. Waldeck-Rousseau, now one of the first men of France—the minister of the interior—who first dared attack the house of Humbert. Then a practicing law4 yer, he went into court as the counsel for Banker Girard and declared that the whole Crawford litigation was a monster swindie. He got a judgmént for $500,000 and an order directing. that the mysterious safe be opened. With eat promptness Mme. Humbert raised the $500,000 and paid off the debt, thus giving the Me to Waldeck-Rous- seau’s insinuations. He told how search had been made in New York and no Craw- fords found. In the meantime the house of Humbert waxed in glory and reputation. The lead- political men of the day frequented it. All through Paris it was rumored that M. Deschanel, president of the Chamber of Deputies, was to be married to little Marie d’Auvignac. No one knew the skeleton in the closet—how the debts had mu_tiplied. Unknown to all we er attorneys, the loans contracted y the mberts on the strength of their hidden” fortunes had reached $12,000,000. It was two weeks ago that the storm broke, Strangely enough it was none of those who loaned millions to the remark- able woman who precipitated the disaster. It was a small tradesman who had been re the mansion. He was M. Morel, held an insignificant food claim for only $26,000. A matter- of- fact justice issued an order the wonderful safe, locked 20. years, be opened in the presence of the amore s. days before the blow fell, Mme. Humbert, brilliantly dressed, opened her box at the ope and heard Jean de Reazke in “Siegfri prew up. Paris had heard the tes a peculiar interest in CHAPTER V. The Mysterious Safe Opened and the Secret Came Out. It was on the afternoon of May 11 that a procession of men headed by the chief of detectives went to the house. In the house was the splendid retinue of servants. Mme. Humbert had just gone outs The chief ahd his party went up to the mad- ame’s boudoir. There behind the laces was the big iron safe, locked. He sent quickly for two ex = cracksmen. Outside t house thousands of people had weathered in waiting. For three hours the safe men drilled away at the huge aS ors. At last the huge shutters wung open. here before the waiting crowd were the red envelopes, their sidés bulging. With trembling hands the official pa tore open the seals. They stood astounded at the revelation made before their eyes. Only waste paper, a $2 paste diamond, a button and some worthless shares in a de- funct corporation, That was all there was left of the Craw- ford millions. That night Paris heard the stor That night it became known that the umberts had fied France. Then the whole story of the most remarkable swindle of the century dawned upon Paris. Parmentier, M. yer were instant Taneiols and another law- ly arrested as rties to the huge swindle. Le Livries, the Hum- berts’ t, was seized in the Seine. Paris then took time to analyze the entire swindle and it dawned upon the brilliant dupes of the Humberts that there never was any millionaire Crawford, never was any millions, never any Crawford nephews —that the whole story was a fabrication and a fiction from the start. For the first time It dawned upon the eminent jurists that never have the Craw- fords appeared in court. They have always been represented by coung®).

NON-PARTISANSHIP OPPOSED PROMINENT DEMOCRATS FAVOR DEMOCRATIC ACTION. The Nesbit election law received another setback Friday aight when the Jefferson Club, representing the Democratic organiza- tion of St. Louis, pledged itself for honest elections, and promised to draft a new election statute. Thirty-five representative Democrats were named as a committee to formulate a new election law, which wil safeguard the rights of all parties. “The Democracy cannot afford to have victories credited to the partisan opera- tions of an election law,” was the sentl- ment of the mesting. Harry Hawes, George J. Tansey and May- or Rolla Wells made addresses. The folluwing resolution was unanimous- ly adopted: Be it hereby resolved, That the president is instructed to appoint a committee of % members of this association, including him- sif, for the purpose of considering the ad- ing the present election law. The said committee shall have full power and authority to act for and in behalf of the Jefferson Club Association in the preparation of an address upon thé subject of the present election law; to prepare suitable amendments to it for passage by the Legislature, or to recommend its re- eal and prepare a new law for enactment f, in its wisdom, it considers the law ys be repealed, revised or amended; "he it further resolved, That said com- mittee is hereby authorized to make all necessary expenditures in carrying out the work committed to its charge, and that all members of the Legislature and Senate residing within the city of St. Louls are hereby requested by the Jefferson Club As- sociation to carry out, so far as lies with- in their power, the, recommendations of this committee, whether it relates t amendments or repeal and substitution; an , Be it further resolved, That said commit- tee is a in any case, to prepare an address to the public on the subject of the outragéous abuse, vilification and false statements indulged in by partisan press and partisan Republicans regarding the Nesbit law. Republicans Not in It. There was a sentiment apparent that the Republicans should have no hands in fram- ing a law which was to be passed by a Democratic legislature. Mayor Rolla Wells has little faith in the yonpartisan movement and believes that whatever action is taken should be after a full and thorough consideration of the 1aw has been made. George J. Tansey,* president of the Mer- chants’ Exchange, ig one of the committéé- men. He said t vat the fact that his name was on the list of, committeemen was as- surance that he did not believe a nonparti- san movement was the best way to reme- dy what might need remedying. esident Hawes, in callin the Jefferson Club to order, made an address in whic he said that ‘the nonpartisan committee's election law would not receive any votes from St. Louis if it was presented to the state legislature. There was no nonpartisan party and Democrats should frame what- ever laws were to be enacted by a Demo- cratic legislature.
