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

been deposited as collateral for a loan
of J50.000 to M. M. Joce. a broker for F.

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

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.
