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.

the bill of exceptions should be settled
later, the court set next Saturday, De
cember 12, as the day for pronouncing
Judgment. 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'

medals commemorative of the occasion will be presented
to each member of tha Sunday school. 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:

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.''
