DECE3IB ER 11, 19Q". ' , OREGOXIAX. FRIDAY, o ; 1 ' i . 11 HAD 3 HUSBANDS American's Wife Arrested in Ireland on Bigamy Charge. MAN AMASSED FORTUNE Die Soon After Wire's Arrest at Tlpperary Workhouse, Where She Was Confined for Her Crime. DL'BUX. Dc. (Special.) A sensa tional' occurranca U reported from tlie neighborhood of Cappawhlte, Tlpperary, where the -wlf of a returned American, named Michael Ryan, was arrested a couple of day afro on a-chargre of bigamy. The accused woman, tt is stated, has had the distinction of being married to three different husbands, two of whom, it is !:eRd. were alive at the time- of her arrest last Tnursday. but since then a tragic sequel has attended the affair. It seems that the prisoner's latest woorer was the man Ryan, with whom she be came cq.uapted after his return from America, where he amassed some money in the State of Indiana, and, as a re sult of their friendship, the pair got mar ried a few months asro. while her reputed first and lawful husband was still alive and an inmate of the Abbeyleix Union, white prior to his nfamafto. and the pair lived on the holding, together with a young stepchild. 1 After a time unpleasant rumors got afloat respecting the previous career of .Mrs. Ryan and it ultimately became no torious that she had contracted marriage on no less than three occasions. The sec ond husband died some time ago, thus .leaving two to claim her affections. The police, as a result of their Inquiries, ar rested' the alleged bigamist and.-pending further investigations, she was remanded in custody to Limerick Prison. Her maiden name has not. so far, transpired, nor that of her first or second husbands, but It is stated that she Is a native of the town of Thurles. She is a rather pre possessing young woman, with sandy hair and of medium height. A rather sad sequel was associated with the sensational occurrence. The unhappy man. Ryan, went to the Tlpperary Workhouse about II o'clock one morning for the purpose of procuring a nurse for his wife's child, and a. few minutes after he had entered the porter's hall and taken a seat, he was noticed to display symptoms of weakness. Dr. M. 3. Hadden. who was on the prem ises, was called to his aid. but the un fortunate man never rallied and expired within a quarter of an hour. An Inquest was .held on the remains, when the med ical evidence went to show that death was due to heart disease. TAFT EXPRESSES FAITH (Continued from First Paice.) tlvea elected to represent the Republican party, to prepare an honest and thorough revision of the present tariff; that they have taken three times as much evidence as has ever beon taken In the preparation of ofher tariffs and that they are going to make additional and Independent effort to get at the evi dence themselves by the use of the snbpena and under oath, with a view to reaching the differences in the cost of production of the various articles brought within the tariff here and abroad. Committee Shows Good Kaith.. "I found them quite anxious for as much harmony as possible. In "which I sympathized with them and prepared for consultation on points of difficulty that might arise at any time in the future. "The plan Is to prepare a bill on such evidence as they have and will have in the course of hearings and then to call for additional evidence as to the items whenever It should seem necessary. Not only from conversation with the mem bers together, but with the members in dividually. I am quite convinced that they are in good faith going to prepare a bill which shall be a thorough revision on the bisls of the RepuKIIcan platform. Agree on Philippine Tariff. "The discussion covered other things like the Philippine tariff and I am very hopeful that there will be no difficulty in reaching an agreement between the various people Interested those repre senting the Philippine Islands ahd those representing the sugar and tobacco in terests so that there will be no dis pute and that the matter may be incor porated in the new tariff bill without an issue. ABE RUEFIS CONVICTED Continued From First Page.) glanced at the verdict and handed it o . Clerk Martin Welch, who read it aloud. Just as he pronounced the words "guilty as charged." a newspaper man rose In his seat to wave a signal to an associate standing in the rear of the chamber. Half a dozen detectives were instantly upon the offender and sharp cries of "Order: Order!" interrupted the question of the court, when then ordered the jury polled at the request of the defense. " Ruef Comforts His Father. Kuef snt between his father and Thomas B. Dozier. of tiic defense, when the verdict was returned. He had spent the greater part of the- day in conver sation with his aged parent, and though his face paled and his eyes remained fixed for a long time upon the men who had pronounced his fate, almost his first thought was for the elder Mr. Rucf. He whispered a few words of encouragement to the old man and sent him out of the room with directions to break the news to the defendant's mother and sisters. Almost immediately Judge Lawlor turned to discharge the jurymen and to thank them for the unusual services ex acted because of the long duration of the case. In part he said: Judge Coramends Jury. I think it hs bernme apparent from what the court has already said that the ftltuatfnn of the Juror In this cae. so long ' wthdrawn from their families and business Interests, has constituted, a genuln hard ship. At the aame time, the court hai constantly kept In view the fact that citi zens ara frequently required to make sac rifices in the Interest of Justice. The action of tha Jury has met with the warm approval nf the court and has lightened somewhat its arduous duties. You m-y retire with the consciousness that you tit's well discharged tha duties entrusted to you and that you have aamed the commendation of the peo ple you represented during your long tern) of service.

Ruefs conviction renders htm liable to a maximum penalty of 14 years in the penitentiary. - The courtroom was cleared of specta tors immediately upon adjournment. The jury left the box, and, through Judge Lawlor, declined to make any statement relating to tho number of ballots taken or the features of its deliberations The 12 men departed through a rear entrance and were cheered by a little crowd that had gathered beyond the line of police. Ruef Calm and Silent. Ruefs customary calm returned within a few moments, and he listened to ex pressions of regret from his friends out a shade of visible emotion. He shook hands cordiajly with the detec tives who have guarded him since his last entry into custody and smilingly de clined to make any comment upon the verdict, saying that he "did not wish to have his utterances distorted later." As he descended the steps to enter the black prison van that conveyed him to the County Jail, there were a few faint Jeers from the crowd in the immediate vicinity, but the presence of a score of detectives, who surrounded him, would have discouraged any concerted attempt at a demonstration, had any existed. News of the verdict had radiated with inexplicable rapidity from the courtroom and, as the van. drove away, escorted by mounted policemen, long- lines of people stood half a block away, held In check by the police, and newsboys shouted their extras announcing the result. Ten minutes before the verdict was re turned. Francis J. Heney. the Assistant' RACERS FEEL GRIND Only Eight Teams Left in Six Day Bicycle Race. RIDERS FALL IN EFFORTS Spills .

The field of 16 pairs of bicycle riders, which began an endurance and speed test of 142 hours at Madison Square Garden Monday morning, had been reduced to one-lfelf its number tonight when 8 teams were pedaling around the saucer-shaped track. During the day there was plenty of excitement caused by spills on the part of the com petitors.

The medal is of aluminum electroplated with copper, and is an exceptionally handsome souvenir. The obverse of the medal bears an excellent reproduction of the pres ent church building, with the legend: "First Methodist Church, Port land, Or." The inscription on the reverse reads: "Sunday-school souvenir. Sixtieth anniversary. Benjamin 1'oung, pastor; A... King Wilson, superintendent; 1848-190a." The medal was originated by Superintendent Wilson, to whose efficient work is due the large In crease in the membership' of the Sunday school. District Attorney, who had charge of the trial until he was shot down by Morris J Lias on November 13, had been driven away from Carpenters' Hall in an auto mobile. Mr. Heney came to consult with Judge Law lor, presumably In regard to the nature of the Instructions demanded by the Jury when it appeared last night. His coming had been heralded and as he descended from the machine and posed for the newspaper photographers, who begged a moment's delay, a man on the sidewalk swung his hat in the air and proposed three cheers, which were given by the crowd across the street. Stopping to greet Assistant District Attorney John J. O'Gara and William J. Burns, Mr. Heney entered the courtroom. Notwithstanding the presence of a score of officers, who did all they could to restrain the demonstration, men and women rose to their feet and cheered, waving hats or handkerchiefs until the bailiffs and detectives interfered. Mr. Heney proceeded dtrectly to the seat he occupied when the attempted assassina tion occurred, and conferred in low tones with . Mr. O'Gara and Mr. Burns. He then proceeded to the chambers of Judge Lawlor, where he remained for half an fiour. Ach Says Jury Was Intimidated. Thomas B. Dozier was the only attor ney of the defense present when the ver dict was returned. He declined 'to make any statement, referring his questioners to Henry Ach. chief counsel. Mr. Ach. who has been under a physician's care since the close of the argument yester day, later said: "It was a verdict of Intimidation. The Jury did not dare . to render any other judgment. Mr. Ruef was convicted of a crime he did not commit. I rely ugion the testimony of Gallagher. Wilson and Furey to establish this fact. The verdict is certain to be reversed." History of Jnry's Debate. Following are the Jurors who tried Ruef: Alexander Bond, real estate: John Beut tler, butcher: Timothy Sullivan, con tractor: William S. Harrison, salesman; Dennis Murphy, retired: John Anderson, builder; Charles A. Roller, retired: W.il lam J. O'Leary, Joseph O'Brien, real es tate; George M. Schilling, manufacturer: James McNamara, retired; William Oak ley, contractor. Foreman McNamara stated toaight that the jury stood 8 to 4 for conviction on the tirsr ballot. At 3:30 this afternoon two of the four were won over on the fourth bal lot, and on the fifth ballot, a few minutes later, the Jurors voted unanimously. "Guilty." "The one instance which did more than anything else to delay the verdict," said Mr. McNamara, "was the address of Mr. Johnson, which was strongly resented.''

Washington is agog at the probable subsequent action of Mr. Roosevelt if Congress persists in its present determl ration to take cognizance of the Secret Service portion of his message.
