KMZ IS INDICTED Persch Case Widens When In vestigated by Jury. JEROME SEEMS TO BE OFF Tbeft Said by District Attorney to Be "Just Vnlgar Steal" En meshes Trio of Busi ness Men. KJjW TORK. Aug. 19. Ripples from tha big splash In the financial pool, created by the arrest of Donald L. Persch, a note broker, on charges of grand larceny, continue to widen. In spite of the fact that I)letrlct Attorney Jerome has pronounced the case "just a vulgar steal." Late today Charles Kate, president of the Ka stern Brewing Company, of Brook lyn, was indicted by the grand Jury for complicity In the alleged theft of 2000 shares of copper stock. This stock dis appeared from the custody of the Wind sor Trust Company with whom it had been deposited as collateral for a loan of J50.000 to M. M. Joce. a broker for F. Augustus Heinze and bobbed up again In the curb market, when Heinze bought It back again. w. L. Clark, the broker who repre sented the trust company for Joyce, was also Indicted. For several days he has been out on 112,000 ball, charged with grand larceny. Another development was the Issuance of a warrant for Sterling Birmingham, the trust company's discharged loan clerk. who Is accused of having accepted 1350 for putting the loan through. To accept such a fee la a misdemeanor. All the men arrested or Indicted thus far have been shown to be closely con nected with Donald Persch. who is still a prisoner In the Tombs, unable to raise 50.000 ball. prise and have a-force of carpenters at work refitting the old hotel building that has stood Idle for several years. The near-by country will be drawn on for the large amounts of both hard and soft woods. GAS CONCERN PAYS CLAIM Court Overrules Demurrer Based on O'ch.ird's Confession. SAX FRANCISCO. Aug. 19. After five years of litigation the San Fran cisco Gas & Electric Company has ac cepted the confession of Harry Orchard, now serving a life sentence for the murder of Ex-Governor Steunenberg, as a perjured statement, and today the corporation paid to Attorney Walter H. Llnforth 113.904 Jor the damages sua tained upon his property on Washing ton street In November, 1904. During the trial of Orchard, he told of having attempted to kill Fred w. Bradley, an enemy of the Western Federation of Miners, by blowing him up with dyna mite. At the time mentioned by Orchard, Bradley was living In one of Llnforth's flats. The explosion, how ever, was attributed to defective gas fixtures, and Llnforth brought suit for $10,800, obtaining judgment for that amount. After Orchard's confession, the corporation sought to obtain a new trial based upon the statement made In the Idaho courts. The Court of Appeals, however, refused to rule that Orchard's confession was grounds for a reversal of judgment. STORY IS DOUBTED Eastern Woman Discredits Report of Husband's Death.
