SEVEIMIINUTE SESSION
niITEBf STATES STJPItEME COURT
CONVENED.
Twenty-three More Cases on tlxc Cal
endar Than at the Opening:
a Tear Ago.
"WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. The United
States Supreme Court convened today. All
the members of the court -were present
except Mr. Justice Gray and Mr. Justice
McKenno, -who are ahsent at Virginia
Springs. Chief Justice Fuller announce
that no motions, except those for admis
sion to practice before the court, -would
be entertained today, but that the docket
would he called tomorrow. About 20 law
yers from the various states were admit
ted to practice. The session lasted only
seven minutes.
The number of cases on the calendar at
the opening of the court today was 437,
131 having been added during the recess.
This Is 23 more cases than were upon the
calendar at the opening of the court a
year ago.
Next Monday Solicitor General Rich
ards, of the Department of Justice, will
submit a motion relative to the Neely
case, now pending before the court on an
appeal from the decision of Judge Wal
lace, of New York, denying a -writ of ha
beas corpus?. Motion probably will be
made to advan.ce the case. The Depart
ment of Justice is very anxious to procure
a decision upon the main question involv
ed, -viz: The Constitutionality of the' law
under which It is proposed to extradite
Neely to Cuba. There Is grave danger of
a dismissal of the appeal, owing to the
difference of opinion, "which exists as to
the legal status of Neely. The appl'ca
tion for a writ, of habeaus corpus be
fore Judge Wallace was made upon the
theory that Neely "was then In the cus
tody of the United sbites Marshal under
a process to be taken to Cuba, while
Judge Dacombe, before whom the orig
inal proceedings took place. Insists that
JSeely "was "not in the custody of the
United States Marshal, but was held on
an order of the court In garnishee pro
ceedings. If the Supreme Court decides
that he was In the custody of the .United
States Marshal, the court will "be in a
position to pass upon the Constitutionality
of the law and dispose of the matter. If
not, there is no case before the court, and
the matter will have to be dismissed.
Under a recent act of Congress. Solicitor
General Richards -will move for the dis
missal of the suit "brought against the
States of North Carolina, South Carol'na,
Florida and Louisiana to recover the j
amounts of certain honds Issued by those
states and held by the United States. The
bonds were issued before the Civil War,
and the controversy over them is of long
standing. The amount Involved is over
$1,000,000. The motion to dismiss will
be made In acordance with the specific di
rection of Congress.
Circuit Court of Appeals.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8. The United
States Court of Appeals today reversed
the decision of the Circuit Court of Mon
tana in the case of the United States vs.
McCoy e al. The case of the St. Louis
Mining & Milling Company, of Montana,
vs. the Montana Mining Company, Lim
ited, -was remanded to the Circuit Court
for a new trial as to the damages alleg
ed and the recovery sought for the con
version of ore between the planes in
dicated on the map showing the loca
tion of the mine. Judge Ross dissented
from the decision.
Judge Morrow, who wrote the majority
decision, said:
"The question under present considera
tion is when a secondary, or incidental,
vein crosses a common side line between
twomihins: locations, at an angle, and
the:4tpex of the -rein $s of such width
that it Is, for a given distance partly
within one 'claim and partly within the
other, to whom does such portion of tKe
vein belong? This question does not ap
pear to have ever been directly passed
upon by the courts. A mining claim can
have but two end lines, and, having been
once established, they become the end
lines for all veins found within the sur
face boundaries."
THE ARMV AND THE NAVY.
More Than Two Hundred Millions
Will Be Asked for Its Support.
NEW YORK, Oct 8. More than $200,
000.000 will be asked for the support of
the Army and Navy for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1902, says the Washing
ton correspondent "of the Herald. Secre
tary Long has been carefully considering
tne estimates of the bureaus of his de
partment, cutting them wherever feasible,
and Secretary Root Is sharpening his
pruning knife so that it will be in condi
tion for use on War Department esti
mates when he returns on Wednesday.
Chiefs of bureaus of the War Depart
ment are estimating for expenses on the
basis of an army of 100,000 men. Under
the present law all volunteers and regu
lars In excess of about 30,000 men must be
discharged before July 1, 1901, and Quartermaster-General
Ludlngton is making
arrangements for the transportation home
of the volunteers, beginning next month.
It will be necessary to recruit regiments
to take the place of the volunteers, in
case more troops are authorized, and
when they are ready for active service
they must be transported to Manila. So
Quartermaster-General Ludlngton has
asked for considerably more money than
he needed for the present fiscal year. In
his last annual estimates he requested an
appropriation of $3S,578,H7. This year the
estimate will be more than $40,000,000.
Pay of the Army will be what was es
tlmated for the current fiscal year, $47,
OM.OOO. There will be a heavy bill for
clothing, medical and hospital stores, ord
nance, ordnance stores and supplies and
regular supplies for the Quartermaster's
Department The estimate made by Com.
mlssary-General Weston for subsistence
stores for the current fiscal year was $11,
112,242. and this will be exceeded.
Secretary Root's estimate for the mili
tary establishment for the current year
aggregated $128,170.5S3, and they will un
doubtedly be larger for the next fiscal
year. Estimates will also be submitted
for public works. Including construction
and repair of arsenals, construction, re
pair and armament of fortifications, con
struction and repair of military posts,
river and harbor improvements, mainte
nance of the National Home for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers, etc., which will mako
the War Department estimates figure up
nearly $203,000,000. Tb Secretary, how
ever will, whenever possible, largely re
duce the estimates of his chiefs of bu
reaus. As an indication of the growth of the
Navy, the estimate for its increase is
slightly above 121.000.003 more than it has
ever been before. Rear-Admiral Crownln
shleld has estimated for larger enlisted
force, and unless the Secretary determines
not to adopt the recommendation of the
Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, It will
necessitate larger appropriations for pay",
equipment and maintenance of the men.
NAVAL OOAL PILES.
Department
Is Increasing;
Its
Supply.
WASHINGTON. Oct 8. The United
States has more than 50,000 tons of coal
distributed at various points throughout
the world for the use of its warships, and
this amount will be Increased by additions
to be made by schooners en route.
The largest coal pile is In Manila, where
there are 24,000 tons. As large a quantlly
Is now on the way to the far East At
Guam there are 2856 tons, and a station
to accommodate 10.000 tons Is to be estab
lished. Honolulu has a naval coal pile
of 10.918 tons, and Kear-Admlral Brad
ford has prepared plans for locating1 20,000
t9B9 thpFft TWP fcr? ftbput 2500 tons at I
Pango Pango, and an Increase of 2500
tons wlH'be made upon the completion of
the coal house under construction at this
point. San, Juan, Porto Rico, has 312G
tons.
For the use of the North Atlantic squad
ron during the coming Winter, Rear-Admiral
Bradford will send to Guantanamo
two coal barges, carrying 1760 tons, which
are now at Port Royal. The Navy also
has coal at Annapolis, Boston, League Isl
and, New London, Norfolk, Port Royal
and Key. West on the Atlantic coast, and
at Mare Island and Puget Sound on th
Pacific.
It Is expected that the North Atlantic
squadron will start on its Winter cruise
not much before January 15.
Surveying: Cuban Coast.
WASHINGTON, Oct 8. In compliance
with Instructions given by Rear-Admiral
Bradford, Chief of the Bureau of Equip
ment, an extensive survey of the south
side of the Island 'of Cuba Is to be begun
during the coming Winter. Beginning at
Cape Maysi, the surveying vessels will
carefully chart the coast of the,Island to
Cape Antonio, the extreme westerly point
of the island.
The waters along the south shore of
Cuba are filled with obstructions, many
of which are uncharted. At many points
the Spanish charts are defective, and the
Navy Department deems it essential to
navigation that a survey shall be made
which will completely establish the dan
gers existing in that part of the Cuban
waters.
As a result of tho American occupancy
the harbors of Santiago. Guantanamo and
Carbinto have been completely surveyed.
Tho Vixen will soon complete the survey
of Port Padre, on the north side of the
island, and will then go to Manzanlllo.
Before the Eagle goes to Cape Cruz to
commence survey work at that point she
will chart the harbor of Nipe on the
north sida of Cuba.
IT BLOCKS HIS WAY.
The Full Dinner Pall Causes Great
Bryanlte Solicitude.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
"Tho full dinner pall" greatly worries
Mr. Bryan. In his frantic effort to get
away from that practical proof of pros
perity he adds false statement to his
usual trick of suggesting falsehood. In
his speech at Kansas City on Tuesday he
said: "Whenever any Republican holds
up before you the full dinner-pail argu
ment ask him what he thinks of less
than $1 a day received by the men min
ing anthracite coal less than $1 a day
tho year round." Here is Mr. Bryan's
positive statement that anthracite cool
miners receive less than $1 a day. What
are the facts?
In their own demands upon their em.
ployers the men mining anthracite ask:
That laborers not miners now receiv
ing less than fl 50 a day be advanced J20
per cent but to not more than $1 o;
that laborers now receiving from 51 50 to
$1 75 a day be advanced 15 per cent; that
laborers now receiving $1 75 or more a
day be advanced 10 per cent For the
miners proper, as distinguished from la
borers, no advance is asked. The miners
ask relief from certain grievances as to
the price of powder, weighing of coal,
etc.. but are satisfied with their present
wages.
The leaders of the miners state that In
some mines the least skilled laborers are
paid as low as 90 cents a day, but- they
estimate the average wages of this class
of anthracite mine workers at $1 25 a
day. That the average wages of many la
borers must be more than $1 25 a day the
men's own demands prove. These fig
ures, taken from the mine workers' own
statement, prove the falsehood of Mr.
Bryan's assertion? as to wages in the
anthracite region.
Then Mr. Bryan is worried by the "full
dinner pall" In another way. "I want, to
ask the laboring man," he walls, "If he
is content to live and die with nothing
more than a full dinner pall?" Certainly,
not nor does the Republican party ask
him so to live and die. But the Republic
an party vers promptly asks the laboring
man to contrast his present full dinner
pall with that vessel's condition when
we last experimented with the Demo
cratic party. The full dinner pall Is in
sharp contrast with the soup kitchens of
not many years ago. Mr. Bryan dislikes
the full dinner, pall argument but he can
not tret away from it And unless the
American people have -forgotten their
country's history and the. Democratic
party's record the full dinner pall will
absolutely block Mr. Bryan' s'road to. the
White House. -. "

IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
FOURTEEN SPEECHES DELIVERED
BY BRYAN YESTERDAY.
Six
Hours Were Consumed by the
Democratic Candidate in
Actual Talk.
ST. LOUIS. Oct. 8. That particular por
tion of Illinois, knowrt as "Egypt." was
pretty thoroughly canvassed by Mr.
Bryan today. The principal cities of 11
of the southern counties of the state and
three of the Congressional districts were
visited and large audiences addressed at
the various stopping places. Fourteen
addresses were made from 7 o'clock in
the morning, when the first speech at
Salem was delivered, until the train
carrying Mr. Bryan and his party pullei
out of Alton at nearly midnight 'ino
addresses have ranged from 10 minutes
to an hour in length and six hours would
be a conservative estimate of the amount
of time consumed by Mr. Bryan In actual
talk.
Southern Illinois was Intensely enthusi
astic. At every meeting the candidate
was greeted with hearty demonstrations
of affection and his remarks were ap
plauded and cheered everywhere. At
one place there was a disposition on the
part of a few boys to cheer his oppo
nent, but there was no attempt to inter
fere with his remarks being heard.
East St. Louis afforded a unique spec
tacle when the Bryan train arrived.
There was no general Information in that
city concerning the time that Mr. Bryan
was to reach there, but announcement
had been made that Governor Roosevelt
would speak there at 8 o'clock. When
Mr. Bryan arrived at 8:15, the Roosevelt
train had not reached the city, and, as
a consequence, many of those who came
to hear him went to greet Mr. Bryan.
The people niBhed after the Bryan car as
It was being switched about, yelling
madly for him and demanding a speech.
When the car came to a standstill there
was a general rush for the platform
where Mr. Bryan stood, with renewed
demands for a speech. This demand Mr.
Bryan declined to respond to beyond ex
plaining why he could not speak. He
said:
"The Republican candidate for the
Vice-Presidency Is announced to speak
here tonight It is his night, and I do
not wish to Interfere In any way with his
meeting. No political party has any
ohance before the people unless Its speak
ers can have an opportunity to present
the Issues from their party standpoint.
I have had my chance here; you have
heard me. I want you now to listen to
the other side, and when you have heard
from their sldo as you have from ours.
I want you to decide between us as to
what your duty Is."
The crowd cheered the brief speech lus
tily and then demanded a handshake.
Mr. Bryan grasped as many outstretched
hands as he could reach, and then told
the crowd to hold up their hands and that
he would shake with them all at once.
A thousand hands went up, and Mr.
Bryan waved his hand to them.
There was also a big crowd at Granite
City, between East St Louis and Alton,
and Mr. Bryan talked to them for about
five minutes on the general Issues of the
day. At East St. Louis, Mr. Bryan's
daughter, Miss Ruth, who Is attending
school near there, Joined him and went
to Alton with him.
At Cairo.
The whole south of Egypt was well
represented in Cairo when the Bryan
train arrived there at 1:15 o'clock. There
had been excursions from the neighbor
ing towns and villages and the result
was a large crowd to welcome the Dem
ocratic nominee. He was driven to a
stand erected near tho center of the city.
His speech was devoted mainly to trusts,
although the, questions of a largo stand
ing army and Imperialism eacn received
some attention at his hands. Among
other things he said:
"The Republican party has not fuiniled
Its promise It will not do anything
of permanent and lasting advantage to
the great majority of the people and tho
reason Is that It is today controlled,
guided and directed by organized, com
bined wealth, and combined wealth de
mands not equal rights, but special priv
ileges and every privilege granted by law
to these great combinations Is taken from
the people. Wherever you find that a
few people by operation of lav are gain
ing an advantage, you may rest assured
that that advantage Is coming from some
body. The trouble Is that the Govern
ment gathers a little from each person
and dumps the 'whole amount Into the
laps ofwa few and the few receive It In
large amounts and you see the evidence
of'thelr prosperity while the little Is col
lec,tedJfrom each one and the Repub
lican party Is forgetting the man from
vghpm it collects,., whhe it takes care
ojSthV man who receives. All over this
hgid are the homes of forgotten men,
men whose rights are disregarded, men
whjjse Interests are neglected because or
demands from combined capital. We are
not enemies of honestly acquired wealtn.
No onewho wants to eat the bread that
he' earns Jand to earn the bread' that ho
eats need be afraid of the success of our
ticket The only man who needs to fear
Is the man who wants to eat the bread
that spmebody else earns, and wants to
eat urwitnout paying ior it
"More trusts have been organized dur
ing ."the last three and one half years
than in all the previous history of the
country and Mr. Hanna, the dominating
factor in - the Republican party, has
given us three definitions of the trusts.
He says that in the first place there
are no trusts; then he says that the trust
is a good thing and then he says: 'Do
not be afraid of the trusts; if they are
injurious wo will take care of them.'
What a consolation It Is to be a Repub
lican .and not have to think, but Just to
feel t that you are safe in the arms of
Hanna. I believe that you will have to
destroy the trusts or they will destroy
the country."
Jonesboro was the next stop and Mr.
Bryan spoke at. that plaoe for 15 min
utes. At Murphy shoro.
Murphysboro was reached at 4:15 and
a half'hour'B stop made. Mr. Bryan was
taken to the Courthouse yard, where
there was gathered a large and enthu
siastic 'crowd of miners, railroad men
and farmers. His remarks were directed
more to the laboring men than his other
speeches of the day. He said:
"The people hero may be divided into
three general classes, the laboring men
who work in your shops or in your
mines; the farmers who work upon th'e
farm and the people who make their liv
ing by ministering to the labor men or the
farmers. Every person Is inclined to look
at public questions from his own stand
point He reasons from himself outward.
The head of a. trust argues that he must
vote the Republican ticket because It is
gpod for him. The financier argues that
he must vote the Republican ticket be
cause It Is good for him. The men who
secure special privileges by the law argue
Qm't they must vote the Republican
ticket because It is good for them, and
if these people have a right to use the
ballot to advance their own Interests, it
is important that the rest of tne people
consider their welfare. The great mass
of people can only speak when they vote
and If when they. vote they do not se
cure redress for their grievance, the case
is hopeless and I want you farmers oi
business men or laboring men to ask
yourselves where your Interests and the
interests, of your children are !n 'this
great contest. As a laboring man you
believe In the art of "differences between
the labor and capital. The Democratic
party declared for arbitration in 1836.
it declares for It again and I cannot un
derstand how any man who wants justice
and believes his cause is just can oppose
arbitration an n mon-ie tn ooftio --rn
onces between corporate capital and tne'
I employes of corporations. Yet whoa tho
laboring man asks for arbltratl6n the
answer Is a large army.
"Tho laboring man wants relief from
government by Injunction. Government
by injunction Is the means by which a
man is deprived' of the right of trial by
jury in certain cases where corporations
want to control the employes. The mean
est thief that ever stole and the meanest
man that ever murdered is entitled to
trial by jury; then why should It be de
nied to any class? The Republican party
has been in control for three arid a half
years, and, while you never heard a Re
publican oppose government by injunction
In a public speech, the Republican party
has not had time to give to the laboring
men relief from this monace to their In
terests and to their welfare."
At Percy, Mr. Bryan spoke for 10 mln-i
utes. There were also short speeches at
Redbud and Waterloo. A flambeau club
met Mr. Bryan at Waterloo and escorted
him to a stand erected for his accommo
dation in a near-by grove. He was pre
sented there by W. R. Morrison, who re
sides at Waterloo.
At Salem.
SALEM, 111.. Oct. 8. Mr. Bryan began
tho week with a speech here, his native
home, and was given a warm reception.
He talked about an hour near the Court
house, In which his 'father had held court
from I860 to 1872, and in which he him
self made his first political speech, 20
years ago. Mr. Bryan was 'introduced by
Judge William Prentiss, of Chicago, and
among other things said:
"I am glad to be among the people with
whom I lived. If I wanted to declare
myself a great man, this lstho last place
I would come to make such a declaration,
because you have known me from boyhood,
but if any one wanted to declare that 1
was a bad man, I would "Want him to
make the declaratiqn here, rather than
any place else. I hardly feel like making
a political speech here, for this Is a sa
cred spot to me. Here -my parents are
buried, and here I learned the precepts
which I have tried to follow. I know
the people here and know how conscien
tious they are. When I see the picture of
my opponent In the windows of the Re
publicans, I know how conscientious they
must be and how certain they are that
my election would be Injurious to the
country, or they would not exhibit those
pictures on the occasion of my return to
my boyhood home. It Is to these Repub
licans I desire to speak. When I return to
Salem I find vacant- chairs. I find that
since my last visit Republicans and Dem
ocrats have crossed over Into the land
where differences in politics do not divide
them. I wonder If it is not possible for us
to understand the Issues so that there
will be less division here.
"If the election were held today, there
Is no doubt we would have a majority in
the electoral college and on the popular
vote. But the Republican managers are
now collecting from the monoplies a large
campaign fund. They -will buy every vote
that can be bought They will coerce
every vote than can be coerced. They will
Intimidate every laboring man who can
bo Intimidated. They will bribe every
election judge that can be bribed. They
will corrupt every -count that can be cor
rupted. I don't understand how it is pos
sible for the plain, every-day Republican
to close his eyes to what Is going on,
when he knows that If he aids these Influ
ences to carry the election at this time,
the same means can be employed to carry
other elections when those who are sup
porting the Republican ticket today will
be opposed to the Republican ticket."
Mr. Bryan concluded his speech with an
argument on the trust question, militar
ism and imperialism. After leaving Salem
he made 10-mlnute speeches at Mount
Vernon and Benton. At these places he
was received by large, enthusiastic audi
ences. His speeches were along the same
general lines as those delivered hereto
fore. At Marlon.
At MarJon Mr. Bryan discussed the trust
question. He said in p&rt:
"I -want to call your attention to aclip
plng which I received a few days ago. I
will read it to you:
" 'Columbus, O., Sept. 28. According to
a special from Gallipolls, Dr. Jennings,
in his financial report of the Western
Methodist Book Concern, of Cincinnati,
made to the Ohio conference now meeting
at Gallipolls, says the white paper trust
alone has increased tho price of paper
used by the Methodist Episcopal publishing-house
at Cincinnati 540,000 In the post
12 months. This means an increasu of
over $100,000- in the past year for the
white paper used by the publishing-houses
of all tho churches.'
"The special says the report astounded
the conferrees," added Mr. Bryan, "and
that they are talking more about trusts
than assignments. And yet, my friends,
Mr. Hanna says there are no trusts.
There Is a trust taxing the churches of
this country 5100,000 a year, and the people
who subscribe to churches have to pay It
You will, of course, have to subscribe
more money or do less church work."
"What about the miners?" cried a voice.
"I want to say," replied Mr. Bryan,
"that the miner has to cast in his lot
with the farmer If he wants any protec
tion or jiny Justice In legislation. The
farmer can stand bad tews longer than
tho miner can, for If things get so bad
that the farmer cannot buy coal, he can
burn corn, but when things get so bad
that the miner cannot fJuy corn, he can
not eat coal. The Republican party stands
today as tho defender of trusts; It stands
as the exponent of a large army idea and
for a colonial policy."
In speaking of the Boer war and tho
Republican attitude towards It, Mr. Bryan
said:
"One hundred and twenty-four years
ago the colonists declared their Independ
ence; this year the Queen of England is
sued an order authorizing the annexation
of tho South African Republics. July 4
1776, saw the birthplace of a republio; July
4, 1900, witnessed the extinction of an em
pire, and yet the Republican party has
so changed within the last few years that
it stands unmoved while the doctrine of
self-government Is being assailed In Af
rica. Can you trust Republicans to pre
serve liberty here when they are unmoved
by a tax upon liberty elsewhere?"
At Alton.
ST. LOTHS, Oct SL At Alton, Mr.
Bryan spoke to thousands of people. His
audience was said to bo the largest ever
assembled In that city. The local "Demo
cratic leagues, among: whom was Con
gressman Jett, occupied a special plat
form erected In front of the Courthouse,
and, notwithstanding It was 10 o'clock be
fore Mr. Bryan commenced his speech,
the crowd stood densely packed in a
mass that extended so far out that It was
Impossible for those on the outskirts to
hear. Mr. Bryan spoke with his hat on,
and some one yelled: "Take off your hat.
like Teddy did." Mr. Bryan, however, did
not comply with this request.
He had scarcely begun speaking when
ho found that the buntings and flags on
the stand cut off his view with the audi
ence. He promptly tore down the ob
struction. This act was variously regard
ed. Some one cried: "Don't tear down
the flag"; others, "Tear it down; It Is

Bryan made no reference to these re
marks, and when he had concluded tho
dismantling process sufficiently to answer
his purpose, he went on with his speech.
Speaking of the Republican contention of
good times, Mr. Bryan said:
"They tell us that we are loaning money
In Europe. All you that are loaning
money in Europe hold up your hands."
Not a hand went up, and ho exclaimed:
"Then it is they, not we, who are loaning
money abroad." ,
Mr. Bryan spoke for about three-quarters
of an hour, and at the conclusion of
tho speech returned to St. Louis for the
night.

THE RICE CONSPIRACY
LAWYER PATRICK AND VALET
JONES CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
The District Attorney Believes He
Has Secured Sufficient Evidence
to Convict Them.
NEW YORK, Oct. 8. District Attorney
Gardiner made a statement today con
cerning the work done by his office to
solve tne mystery surrounding the death
of William R. Rice, and the checks with
his name.
"This matter," said the District Attor
ney, "was first brought to my attention
by the banking house of Swenson & Sons
through their counsel, Mn. Gerard. From
the Information received from Gerard, it
appeared that Patrick had presented a
check for 525,000, knowing Mr. Rice to be
dead, and concealed the fact from the
banking house, and when they tried to
communicate with Mr. Rice, owing to
the suspicions aroused by the check it
self, they were met by evasive answers
over the telephone by the valet, who at
first concealed the fact of the demise
of Mr. Rice. Then they made further in
quiries and ascertained that the body
had been promptly embalmed with ar
senous fluid, though Mr. Rice had in his
lifetime said he was opposed to anything
ul me sun, ana tne xunercu was Deing
hastened with intent to cremate the body.
The situation seemed to be one which re
quired prompt action, and the detective
force was Immediately communicated
with by telephone, and Mr. Gerard was
sent for to give all necessary Informa
tion. Coroner Hart was called Into the
case, and requested to -prevent the fu
neral. Meanwhile the brother of the de
ceased was hastening1 from Texas.
"Last week Patrick called upon me with
his private counsel. Assistant District
Attorney Unger was also present, and
the conference lasted nearly an hour. In
that time Patrick's' attention was called
to a number of very suspicious circum
stances, particularly as to the embalming
of the body with an arsenous fluid when
It was about to be cremated. He gave
no explanation of this, but admitted that
all, or nearly all, of Mr. Rice's property
had been assigned to him. The object of
such assignment he did not disclose. The
question asked seemed to cause him some
agitation, as his hand shook perceptibly,
which was noticed by both Mr. Unger
and myself.
"I have seen a number of checks of Mr.
Rice drawn to the order of Patrick, the
defendant, and two of them appear to me
to be clumsy forgeries. The whole sub
ject will be thoroughly investigated, not
only as to the cause of the death of Mr.
Rice", but also as to this remarkable se
ries of proceedings. To me It seems that
there has been a conspiracy to obtain
possession of tho bulk of Mr. Rice's prop
erty." Tho hearlngori the charges of forgery
against Patrick and Jones, which was
to have been held this afternoon, was
adjourned until Monday next, on the re
quest of counsel for the prisoners. Late
this afternoon formal complaint against
Patrick and Jones was made by a de
tective, who accused the defendants of
having forged the signature of W. M.
Rice to a check for 525,000 on Swenson &
Sons.
Captain McCluskey, speaking last night
of what he had learned from David L.
Short and Morris Meyers, whose signa
tures as witnesses appear on the various
alleged assignments to Patrick, and on
the alleged will made by Mr. Rice, said:
"Both Short and Meyers talked to ma
fully and with seeming frankness. Both
were witnesses to the will which gives
practically everything to Patrick. Thi3
will was dated and executed In Mr. Rice's
apartments on Juno 30 last. I have not
tseen the original, as it Is in Patr.ck'3
possession.
"According to the statements of Short
and Meyers relative to the signing of this
will, they had both gone to Rice's flat
to make acknowledgments of certain oth
er papers. They had finished this work
and were talking with Mr. Rice when he
said: 'Wait a minute, I have something
else for you to do.' He came back, and
Is alleged by Short and Meyers to have
said: 'This Is my will, and I want to
execute It'
"They said he signed the document In
their presence and they made the cus
tomary acknowledgments of the signa
ture. Both said that they did not know
the contents of the will. Patrick was
not present, they declared, at the time
the will was signed.
"I said to Short: 'This is a most pe
culiar state of affairs all around,' and
he replied: Tou must remember that this
old man was most peculiar, and his af
fairs are bound to be peculr.'
"They said that Rice would often senfl
for them to come to his flat and take
acknowledgment of his signature to cer
tain papers, and when they got there he
would change his mind, saying: We
won't bother about this today. I will
think it over for a time.' Thoy declared
that he knew perfectly well what he was
doing all the time, and dominated and
directed his own business affairs."
CHICAGO INSURANCE SWINDLE.
Fraudulent Plot Unearthed by the
Authorities.
CHICAGO, Oct., 8. F. "W. Wayland, as
sistant manager of the Nooney & Boland
Detective Agency, was arrested on his
return from Virginia today, charged with
complicity In the alleged plot to defraud
the New York Life Insurance Company,
the Canadian Order of Foresters and the
Knights and Ladles of Honor, In which
Miss Marie Defenbach became Insured for
$12,000 shortly before her death, which oc
curred suddenly August 23 last. Dr. Au
gust M. Unger and Frank H. Smiley, a
detective, were arrested on the same
charge yesterday. The three men under
arrest were arraigned before Judge Gib
bons, and In default of $15,000 ball each
wore committed to Jail.
It was learned today that several other
insurance companies besides the one In
which the policies token out on Miss
Defenbach's life had been applied to
by one or two of the defendants for simi
lar policies, tho amount applied for in
each case being flO.OOO.
The Tribune today says:
"Last April Miss Defenbach applied to
the New York Insurance Company for a
$10,000 policy. This was refused and later
one for $5000 taken. On or about August
10 last she also secured insurance in the
Canadian Ordor of Foresters to the
amount of $5000. At the same date she
took out a policy In the Knights and
Ladles of Honor for $2000. Two weeks
afterwards she was dead, leaving a will
which directed that a part of these In
surance policies should be paid to Frank
H. Smiley, her "affianced husband," and
that her body be cremated. Her death
was attended by the most horrible agony.
The attending physicians refused to is
sue a certificate of death, but the Cor
oner's Jury, later and after the body had
been embalmed, found a verdict of death
from dysentery. The next day the body
was cremated and the ashes were scat
tered to the four winds of heaven. With
out much delay proceedings were begun
