IN SECOND DEGREE
Three Murderers of Jennie
Bosschieter Convicted.
MAXIMUM PENALTY IS 30 YEARS
Jury Took Fifteen Ballot Prisoner
Shorrcd Xclther Elation 5or Re
lief When the Verdict Wu An
nounced Closing; Argnments.
TTW YORK, Jan. IS. Walter C. McAl
leter, Andrew J. Campbell and William
IDeath, three of the four persons indicted
for the murder of Jennie Boeschieter, a
mill-girl of Patcrson, N. J., who was mur
dered the night of October IS last, -were
tonight adjudged guilty of murder In the
second degree. According to the New Jer
sey law, the maximum penalty for the
prisoners Is 30 years.
The Jury took 15 ballots, and after sum
moning Judge Dixon and the prisoners,
filed Into the courtroom. The prisoners
appeared very nervous. McAllster seemed
Store excited than any of the others. Ho
at biting his lips while waiting. Camp
bell thrust his hands Into his trousers'
pockets and clinched his fists In them.
Death looked anxiously about the court
room for a moment, and then assumed
the attitude of Campbell. When the ver
dict was announced the prisoners evinced
neither elation nor relief. Judge Dixon
thanked the Jury, and said he believed
the verdict e. Just one. He dismissed tho
Jurors until Monday morning. The court
then rose, and the prisoners were taken
back to the Jail.
Another great crowd gathered outside
the Courthouse this morning, but, as on
the preceding days of the trial, only a
limited number of persons were admitted
to the courtroom. The defendants were
brought Into the court shortly before 10
o'clock and took their uBtial seats beside
their counsel. Ex-Judge William T. Hoff
man made the closing address for the de
fense. A point which, in Mr. Hoffman's
opinion, had not been sufficiently empha
sized by his associates in the defense was
that a defendant is not to be permitted
to be called upon to prove his innocence,
but the state must prove his guilt. Coun
sel said:
"Whatever -view Is taken of the case, If
It can bo shown that Jennie did not die
from chloral or rape, then this cane
failed. There is no legal proof that sho
died from chloral poison or that rape wa&
committed The state charges that this
defendant ' (pointing at McAllster) put
chloral into the glass drunk- that night.
If he had chloral, where did he get It?
The state used all its machinery to And
this out. If no chloral was found in the
body, ehe did not die from It. Dr. Todd
said she died from chloral poisoning, to
did Dr. Terrlberry. These statements
liave no force in this case."
Mr. Hoffman then proceeded to discredit
the testimony of Professor Witthaus as
to the quantity of chloral hydrate that
had been administered to the lil, and
quoted the professor as saying that the
amount of chloral he found In the stom
ach could not have done any more harm
than if it had remained in the batUe. He
cited tho testimony of Dr. Vanderterg to
the effect that an analysis of the embalu
ing fluid of the same brand as thlt used
to embalm the corpse of Jennln Boss
chieter gave the same results as Profes
sor Witthaus obtained from an tmajystsr
of the contents of the girl's stonweh'. M,r.
Hoffman alleged that statements had been
extorted from two of the defendants by
the police by Improper means, nhd that
these statements then had been Alstorlcd
Into confession. All the circumstances of
tho meeting of Jennie Bosschieter with
the defendants the evening of October IS
and of the start In a hack for Tree's ho
tel, counsel said, were Inconsistent with
the theory of the prosecution that the
affair was prearranged on the part of the
men with the purpose of an assault on
the girl.
"The whole case Is consistent with the
innocence of the defendants undur a prop
ter application of the law." he sfcld.
Public Prosecutor Emley delivered the
flhal address for the state. Th meeting
of the defendants with Jennie Bosschieter,
ihe said, was no accident. It wan at SaaPs
saloon, and had for its purpose, as Camp
bell had put it, "having a good time"
"with the girl now dead. Mr. Emley said:
"It Is a significant coincidence that
when McAllister wanted a. hack he found
the willing ear of Kerr at the telephone at
Hofgezungs saloon, Kerr evidently await
ing such word. It is more than a coinci
dence that all this should hove happened
as it did within the circle of them all
there complete. Kerr said nothing about
the forgotten engagement on the bridge;
neither did he ask McAllster where he
had been. He simply told tbc hackman
which door of Saal's saloon to go out,
McAllster paid for the drinks and ordered
the champagne. He was the Bcader."
Mr. Emley pointed out alleged Inconsist
encies of the ride In the Schulthorpe hack
as the defendants told it.
DARING HOLD-UP.
Tito Men Tried to Rob
Reitnnrnnt.
Sew Yorlc
NEW YORK. Jan. 18. Two robbers,
armed with 33caliber Coifs revolvers, en
tered Malllard's restaurant and confec
tionery store, near the Flfth-AvenUe Ho
tel, Just aa the place was being closed at
midnight, and ordered the cashier to
throw up his hands. In tho place were
a half dozen waiters, and tho very bold
ness of the Tobbers attracted attention.
The cashier had sevoraL hundred dollars
of the day's receipts on the desk before
him, and it is supposed that he did not
move quickly enough to satisfy the rob
bers, for one of the mgn discharged his
revolver. The bullet flashed Into the
wall back of the cashier, who caught up
the cash and dodged underneath the
counter. The waiters concealed them
selves under tables. The shot attracted
a Broadway crowd, and the police were
notified. Brandishing their weapons, tho
robbers dashed from Malllard's, the
crowd falling back and giving them all
the room they wanted. One turned into
Twenty-fourth street and succeeded In
making his escape. The other dashed
across the pavement on Fifth avenue to
Madison Square and was captured by a
policeman. He said he was Edward Bur
gess, a steamfltter.

steamer of the Hamburg-American line at
Hoboken. Ansenlas was not arrested, but
the diamonds will be held pending a de
cision of the Treasury Department as to
whether he Is guilty of smuggling. His
defense Is that he Is a Cuban merchant,
and that he is merely passing through this
country on his way to Cuba, The dia
monds were concealed In pockets of a large
belt which Ansenlas had around his body,
and were accidentally discovered by a
customs inspector who happened to place
his hand on Ansenlas' back as the latter
was leaning over a trunk. There are 126
separate articles of an appraised valua
tion of $11,000, which with 60 per cent duty

the
Amended Cnnal Treaty.
LONDON, Jan. IS. The amended Hay
PaUncefote treaty was discussed at a pro
tracted Cabinet conference today. Tho
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,

patch or in an Interview with the United
States Ambassador, Joseph H. Choate,

exists that the Cabinet confined Itself to
authorizing Lord Lansdowne to have fur

Greetings were exchanged between Em

Holland. His Majesty's message was as
follows:
"The festival which It has, by the grace
of God, been granted to my house and
myself to celebrate, moves me to turn
my eyes first to the Creator and next to
The Netherlands. It is to the great
House of Orange that we owed the virtues
which adorned the great e:cctor and
glorious Princess who gave Prussia her
first King. In commemoration of these
facts and the additional circumstances
that The Netherlands were our first sail
ors and a Netherlander our first Admiral,
we have conferred on my navy the right
to play, as a saluting mar6h, the old
'March of Honor' of The Netherlands'
fleet. May God always be gracious to
both our houses, as he was of old to our
ancestors, In good times and bad. But
my navy will take the mottoe of Admiral
de Rulter as its own, and, namely, 'I
would not be praised, not by anybody, so
that I may be free to act according to
my conscience and carry out any orders
as I should,' WILLIAM."
Queen Wilhelmlna replied as follows:
"I thank you with my whole heart
for your telegram, which afforded me
great pleasure, and for tho sentiments
which In connection with tomorrow's
memorable day causes you to think of
my country and my ancestors and of our
great de Rulter. Your appreciation and
recognition of those who have so long
passed away touches me deeply. I am
highly gratified at the bestowal on your
navy of our old 'March of Hopor' as a
saluting march. You know how close an
interest I take in this significant festival,
and again I express to you my most
heartfelt and friendly congratulations.

Hearing at Manila on the Commis
sion's New Bill.
MANILA, Jan. 13. The public discus
sion of the general code of government for
municipalities began today. Commission
er Worcester outlined the bill and ex
plained the changes from tho general or
ders of tho Military Governor, under
which many local governments were ope
rating. Commissioner Worcester offered
two amendments, disqualifying from vot
ing and holding office men who violate
their oath of American allegiance and who
remain in armed opposition after Febru
ary 1.
The commissioner elucidated the taxa
tion features, referring to the benefits of
taxing lands and buildings as against the
present special taxes on occupations 'and
industries. One-fourth of 1 per cent of
the proceeds of real estate assessments
will be devoted to public schools. Muni
cipal Councils are authorized to license
theaters, places for liquor selling, pub
lic conveyances, hotels and cock-fighting,
or to prohibit cock-fighting, for the first
year, until the tax collections-iare avail
able. Half of the internal revenue of
each municipality will be paid into the
municipal treasuries.
Commissioner Worcester did not enlarge
on the section confining the exemption
of church property to properties used
exclusively for religious, charitaBlo or
educational purposes. This much-discussed
feature received the .approval of
the Administration at Washington pre
vious to the making public of the bill.
The bill centralizes considerable respon
sibility in the provincial governments for
the establishment of which another bill
is being prepared. The public discussion
which is taking place in the municipal
hall is proceeding by sections, the natives
participating.
It is rumored that Agulnaldo visited his
mother in Cavlte Province and narrowly
escaped capture during the recent round
up of one of the villages in Cavite.

at least for the present, for taking up
tHe Nicaragua Canal bill. The decklou
was reached after an hour and a half
spent In caucus,, and was unanimous. The
caucus was called largely because of Sen
ator Morgan's importunities in behalf of
the bill, and an effort was made to effect
d Satisfactory so'utlon of the problem.
There was a general exchange of views,
and many speeches were made, but after
all had been said, the Senators concluded
that so long as Great Britain's attitude
toward the amendment to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty Is undefined It would
not be wise or expedient to agitate the
question of the construction of the pro
posed canal.
Senator Allison, chairman of the cau
cus, was authorized to make this state
ment to Senator Morgan and other
friends of the canal bill and to the public
In general. In giving It out he laid stress
I upon the fact that this conclusion was
"tor the present." Ho also stated that
the question of what attention should be
given to the ship subsidy bill was not dis
cussed, and that "the matter is in the
I hands of the Senate."
The decision of the caucus as riven was
embodied in a resolution presented by
Senator Lodge, who stated that the con
clusion, as set forth, was the result of
the best deliberations of the committee on
order of business. He expressed his own
firm conviction that at lFast for the pres
ent It would be out of place to press the
canal question while the treaty Is still a
subject of negotiation, and England's at
titude is not completely defined.
Notwithstanding the formal decision to
leave the canal question In abeyance for
the time being, several Senators gave
notice that In case there should be a mo
tion to take, up the canal bill they would
not be bound by the reeolutlon adopted,
but -would vote for a motion to consider.
In this expression of Independence, Sen
ator Piatt, of New York, was the lead
er. He said he considered the proposed
canal of prime Importance, and would not
refrain from voting to take It up when
ever a motion was made to that effect.
Senators Simon, Foster and Bard fol
lowed with similar declarations.
No decision was reached upon other
questions because no formal action was
considered necessary. There was, how
ever, considerable discussion of other
questions. Among these were tho ship
subsidy bill, the war revenue reduction
bill, tho confirmation of Mr. Harlan as
Attorney-General of Porto Rico, the rati
fication of the treaty with Spain for the
acquisition of some of the Philippine
Islands not included in the original Paris
treaty, and the appropriation bills.
Senator Hanna expressed his desire to
have the ship subsidy bill parsed upon
during the present session, and said that
with tho Army bill out of the way he
should ask that the decision arrived at
early in the session to press the ship
subsidy bill would be adhered to.
" Mr Hanna was reminded of the neces
sity of giving first attention to the appro
priation bills, and said that he fully un
derstood that, and he only meant to ask
that the subsidy bill should receive at
tention when the appropriation bills were
not up for consideration. There waa
general assent to this proposition, but it
was suggested that there were other sub
jects which should be parsed upon be
fore adjournment, but which it was not
believed would require a great deal of
time.
Senator Aldrlch explained in this con
nectloijth necessity of getting the war
revenue reduction bill through during the
session, and he stated that he hoped to
be able to report It from the committee
on finance during the early part of next
week. Mr. Aldrlch also said that he
hoped to secure a unanimous agreement
from the committee, and that if success
ful ho hoped the Senate would not re
quire a great deal of time. To get the
bill through promptly It was necessary
there should be no effort to amend it by
putting on tariff amendments. To at
tempt anything In that line would, he
said, open up the entire tariff question,
and the only safe course was to leave the
bill as it now was, an internal revenue
measure only. There was general as
sent to this proposition and assurance
was given that the caucus would sustain
him In that position.
Senator Foraker stated that he would
again seek to get up the Harlan nomina
tion at the first opportunity, and he
asked the Republican members to remain
In sufficient numbers to guarantee a quo
rum, because of Senator Pettlgrew's no
tice that he should require a rollcall on
the vote to confirm. The importance of
getting the Spanish treaty through was
presented by Senator Lodge, who said
that the ratification of the treaty was
necessary to clean up our dealings with
Spain.
Senator Proctor also asked him for con
sideration of the oleomargarine bill. Sen
ator Hale replied to this request that the
bill had not yet been reported from Sen
ator Proctor's committee. To this the
Vermont Senator replied the committee
would be prepared to report next week.
After the conclusion of the caucus. Sen
ator Allison, as Its chairman, gave out
the following official statement concern
ing the object of the caucus and the re
sult of Its deliberations:
"Senator Morgan, chairman of the com
mittee on inter-oceanic canals, made a re
quest to the Republicans of the Senate
that a day be fixed by order of the Sen
ate for consideration of tho Nicaragua
Canal bill. This request was made to the
order of business committee, and this
committee considered the request, and
made the recommendation to the Repub
lican conference this morning that at this
time It is not expedient or wise to fix a
day for the consideration of the bill, in
view of the pendency of the considera
tion by Great Britain of the amendments
proposed by the Senate to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. This view was ap
proved by the Republican caucus without
division. There was a universal senti
ment expressed in favor of the construc
tion of the canal by the United States at
the earliest practicable time."
THE IRRIGATION MOVEMENT.
It Receives Stronjr Support From
Secretary Hitchcock.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. Secretary
of the Interior Hitchcock was to have
been heard today by the House committee
on public lands on the subject of irriga
tion, which is attracting attention in many
Western States, but being unable to come
to the Capitol, he submitted a statement.
This strongly supports the policy of irriga
tion, and says that a vast acreage capa
ble of supporting 50,000,000 people should
not be left a desert. Mr. Hitchcock points
out the remarkable results experienced in
the valley of the Nile, practically redeem
ing Egypt from bankruptcy. Professor
Newell, of the Geological Survey; Pro
fessor Plnchott. of the Agricultural De
partment, and Representative Newiands,
of Nevada, who startec the movement
by a bill for Irrigation storehouses along
the Humboldt River in Nevada, also
strongly supported the plan. The hear
ings today were on the Newlahd3 bill,
but this has brought up the whole sub
ject as applicable to Western States, and
particularly California, Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Nevada. Utah, Montana,
Wyoming. Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska,
South ahej North Dakota.

BROKE HIS JAW.
"Young: Corbett" Victorious Over Joe
Bernstein.
DENVER, Jan. 18. "Young Corbett." of
Denver, won from Joe Bernstein, of New
York, In the seventh round of what was
to have been a 10-round bout before the
Colorado Athletic Association tonight,
with a left hook to Bernstein's Jaw, which
broke It. ljernstein threw up his Hands,
and the referee separated the men, giving
the decieion to Corbett. While the hon
ors were about even, Corbett was the ag
gressor in most of the rounds, and his
blows seemed to carry more steam than
Joe's.
In the preliminaries. Buddy King, of
Denver, won from Kid Butler, of New
York, In one round, and Jack Lavelle, of
Butte, Mont., won from "Sailor" Thomas,
of Denver, In tho second round.
Stuart's Fistic Carnival.
NEW YORK, Jan. IS. Dan Stuart, who
arrived in this city tonight from Nevada,
said that Carson City will have another
pugilistic contest next. Spring. Stuart Is
satisfied that the law permitting finish
fights in Nevada will not be repealed, and
It is the only place in the country whero
fistic contests can be fought to a finish.
He said that while In CarsOn he examined
plans for a new athletic clubhouse, ap
proved them, and the work on the build
ing will begin next week.
"I have two fights in my mind for the
carnival." he said. "They are a heavy
weight battle between the winner of the
Jeffries-Ruhlln contest at Cincinnati in
February, and Bob Fltzslmmons, and a
bout between Terry McGovern and a lead
ing English or Australian feather
weight. I am convinced that Fltzsimmons
will fight again. I think that the public
by next Spring will demand a meeting
between Jeffries and tho ex-champion. Of
course, if Ruhlin should beat Jeffries I
would have to give the preference to the
Akron man"
Root Knopked Out Bycra.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18.-Jack Root

round before the National Athletic Club
tonight. Root had Byers measured at the
beginning of the fifth round, and In the

saved by the gong. Root, in the following
round, landed when and where he wanted
to. He had Byers on the ropes the greater
part of the round. In tho ninth, Root
swung on Bjers' body and Byers went to
the floor. He rolled over helpless and
his seconds threw up the sponge.

draw at the end of the 20th round.
