', "With the provision that the prisoner
remain In the custody of tbe marshal,"
Interposed Mr. Bristol.
. r This was ordered and McKlnley was
taken lack to the county jail, where be

through his almost incredible adven

'was demonstrated, early In the game
this morning.
' KcXlaley la Court.
i' In the custody of two deputy mar
shals and without any counsel, McKln
ley came Into Judge Wolverton's court
at 10 o'clock this morning. It had not
been advertised that he would be there
and the room was practically deserted.
MoKlnley was dressed, in the parlance
of the burlerque houses,-In a "neat but
not gaudy" fashion. His clothing was
somewhat out of date, but was as
.scrupulously neat as ever. His putent
.leather shoes were shiny and he wore a
dark suit and a black and white ascot
.tie. -
"Hello, Horace." called out the dis
trict attorney as McKlnley passed him
going into the court room.
"Why, hello. Bill." replied the peri
patetic 'uni.jve with a smile.
When the case wrs reached Mr.
Bristol reviewed it briefly. Saying that
the defendant was Indicted for land
ffrauds together with several others
March 17, laOH.'that He- had been tried
and found guilty and had been released
on bond,
sot for Seaey.
-"I wis It nnderstood that Z had
nothing to do wfth the early conduct of
these cases," said Xr. Bristol. "The
prisoner baa been hibernating for some
time la China, at his owa pleasure. This
la one of the so-called Henty oases,
really originated by Xr. Halt Some
attempt X andsrstand was made to lo
cate Sir. McKlnley bat evea that treat
.' detective, William J. Barns, could not
reach him and finally his bond was de
clared forfeited and he was deolared a
fufltlTO. from Justice, a bench warrant
.for his arrest was Issued by Judge W.
X. Boat, July 88, 1906,
"Later on it was found that he was
in China, he was arrested there and ex
tradlted to this country. I move that
l lie defendant be culled and sentenced.
i win add that the law provides
sentence of- a fine ranging from 1,000
to 110,000 with not more than two
years in jail.
"X have mo personal knowledge of
the circumstances ' of this case. The
treat prosecutor, Prands J. Beney, ad
vised that this defendant's partner,
Pnter, receive two years and a 97,600
fine. Xr. Pnter testified end dldat rua

subsequently It was Xr. Beney Who
had Puter pardoned. X dont know.

great prosecutor saw fit to dismiss

Mrs. Watson served but a few months
of her sentence and several others
served varying terms. As I have said,
this is not my case. I don't know any
thing about the moral turpitude which
my be the defendant's and can make
no recommendations. It may be that
owing to his Journey of two years in
foreign dimes the defendant may want
to arrange his personal business. Tho
government will be willing to allow
such time as tbe court sees fit"
Prisoner Stands Vp.
Judge Wo J vert on then asked McKln
ley to stand up and give his reasons
why sentence should not be Imposed.
"I beg to ask the court for two or
three days, during' which I may com
municate with Mr. Heney and Mr.
Bums," said the prisoner. 'I have Just
got in town and have had no chance
to see any one."
"You think Mr. Heney and Mr. Burns
have some Information that may af
fect the sentence?" inquired the Judge.
"I do," said McKlnley.

Then Mr. Bristol eprang up and de
clared that he for one had no bargains
to mako and no Immunity baths to
give, although he 'didn't know anything
about the prisoner's arrangements with
Francis J. Heney.
Judge Wolverton continued the mat
ter until next week. Saturday, February

Jail, where he will be kept In charge of
the marshal. On the way out he met

that it was the first he had had taken
since he came back to God s country.
District Attorney Krlstol said after
the hearing that owing to the involved
condition of the district attorney's of
fice he could not state definitely what
action he would take in the McKlnley
perjury indictment.
"You can say this, though," said Mr.
Bristol, "that in the McKlnley case, as
in all others before me, every offender
will be given a trial, and a sDeedv one.
and there will be no arrangements made
for getting off or for climbing into the
Immunity bath. I intend treating all
offenders alike."

October 20, last year. He was on seven

about his private affairs. He was per

to take the consequences of his flight

Until McKlnley was turned over to

New York, Feb. 21. Prefacing his
article with stories of two imaginary
wars In which America is badly beaten
up by Germany in her eastern and by
Japan In her western states, Lieutenant
Hugh Johnson, U S. A., writing in the

holds the United States military system
up to scorn.
He refers to the navy as "respecta

Impossible of determination."
"We have no army, but what is
worse." he says, "we have no system of
defense, in resource we are rich; In
actual power we are as poor as Job.
