waes, alleged to oe dug rrom tnem,
before Municipal Judge Heap today
with a hot crossfire at Joseph Lelter.
who recently married Miss Williams at

and the basis of his suit Is that he
was dismissed at the Instance of Joseph
Lelter. who was in a plaue and much
chagrined for certain personal and pri
vate reasons.
Crabbe offers to prove several very
spjcy allegations that have been merely
hinted at In the evldenco ao far. He
says he wants to- show that Lelter
charged-the estate with $14,000 m wine
bills, servants' wages, grocery bills and
other bills for a private residence he
occupied at 101 Rush street: that Joseph
put himself down for a 125,000 salary
as manager of the estate and drew $19,
000 of the money until a stop was put
to it. that he invested M14.000 of the
money of the estate In coal property at
Zelgler, and his mother had to. pay it
back, that Lord Curzon had called Joe
Lelter a "huge liar," and eo dishonest
that no respectable person would asso
ciate with him.

Denver, Tulv 8. The conven
tion today had two distinct thrills"
not jumping spasms of emotion,
uuj. ranu nomeopatnic closes -or
joy such as often come to people
over 40 who discover that Jho
worst is over. One of thesrepi
Bodes occurred when former Gov
ernor Francis of Missouri walked
on ggs across the convention in
his painstaking apology for eulo
gizing Grover Cleveland. It was"
a fine piege of balancing, and did
credit lf the living and the dead,
even though the governor's elab
orate explanation that he could
praise- Cleveland without discred
iting Bryan was an excursion
upon more or less debatable
ground. '
The second thrill of real Ufa in the
convention came hen the erowd called
for Judge Parker. He aroae, a short
necked, sloping shouldered man who
Beams to have eoftly sidled rather that
roughly elbowed his way through th
Jostling throng. He made an excellent
impression and the rn-take of excited
breath came when he brought out his
sidetracked resolution on Cleveland. Tha
crowd hoped he would move to sub
stitute his resolution for the Nebraska
resolution, which obviously had Bryan's
indorsement The crowd yearned for a
fight. It would liked to hnv uoi,
Parker throw down the gauntlet For
in the Brvan resolution r.laMianA ki
called able, efflole-it, forceful and
number of other things, but there waa
nothing about his honestv with th -
dominant note of Cleveland's character.
Parker's Basolattoau "
The Parker resolution in Its first B0
I words spoke of Cleveland's Integrity
and referred to him as a custodian nf
Democratic faith, which, of course, ho
was not, unless the faith ia bifurcated,
with one section in the custody or
Bryan and the other ia the custody of
Cleveland. But, the pleasurable gasp
at the courage of Judge Parker in read
ing his discarded resolution. the con
vention sighed sadly when It found that
there was to be no fight, and- that
Judge Parker waa to do nothing mora
dauntless than to second the motion of
Nebraska. So the convention proceede.t
upon its regular course and proceeded
to drive the dray over Ouffey of Peun
sylvanta. It will be carefully explained by th
Pennsylvania delegation that -the con
vention had given the bolting; delega
tion of 23 the preference over the reg
ular delegation of 45, but It' made no
difference. The program had come front
the Inner temple and tha delegates tooK
to the program. In the commltte
rooms of the various delegations for 14
hours the delegates seggregatad and lt
the several states had been devoting
themselvea to the gentle art of burning
reformers at the stake. '
