THE A. B. c. UNION.
A Preliminary Hearing of the Alleged
Head of the Thieving Clerks Society.


NEW YORK, December "A large mum.
ber of grocers were in the Yorkville Police
Court TO day when the A. B. C. Union case
came up. This is the union said to be CON-
posed OF twenty-five grocers' clerks, who
pledged themselves to steal sl25 month.
Christian Krooss, a milkman, VINO is
charged with having organized the society
and with receiving $1,000 OF the stolen
money, said he knew pothing about the
society. He says he can prove that the
clerks, Myers and Tietien, invented the
story to account for their thefts, which
have amounted TO 81 coo in nine months.
Herman Tietjen told this story: 81
have worked two years for Mr.. Ful!e and
have known Krooss all that time. He pro-
posed to me that should steal the money
and give it to him 10 keep. did so and
he took me TO room where the 4. B. c.
Union met. krooss presided. John Fast
came in and Krooss asked him how he had
made out. Fast said, Pretty we'll and
laid down 1925, which Krooss took. Henry
Frecht and another clerk each paid 1925.
The witness said he had burned the books
which contained the payments and the
names of the twenty-five members. He
bad done so out of regard for his oath and
to shield the others. Myers denied that he
was an A. B. c. Cnionist, but said lie had
paid $500 to Daniel Bohen, the agent OF
similar concern. Fulle, Myers uncle, has
had Bohen arrested. Bohen says Myers is
trying to make scapegoat OF him and that
he never received cent from Myers. The
case has been adjourned until December 10.

WEST UNION, December Big Bill
Kinney's case was closed yesterday
and the opening speech made for the
State by Mr.. J. V. Blair. Mr.. Fsrr spoke
last night, and Freer, Maxwell and Stuart
to-day. The general impression seems to
be that the jury will hang. The
strongest evidence against the prisoner
was the testimony of Little Bill, but the
defence have thrown such cloud upon
this that it will probably not be sufficient
in the minds of the jury to hang Big Bill.
A great deal OF dissatisfaction was expressed
on the light verdict against Little Bill and
if his accomplice is not punished the
dissatisfaction may take practical turn
and result in serious trouble. Big Bill
has asserted several times that il he gets
out of this he will make some people in
this neighborhood come to time, and any
one acquainted with his character and dis
position can readily understand the terri
BILE meaning of this threat.

what viii Receive Their Attention on
Monday.

Sosca! to the Re7lS!er.
WASHINGTON. December 1t is difficult
TO guess what subjects are likely to engross
the attention of the two Houses on their
Resembling next Monday. Senator Nor
ril"s bill relating to silver coinage, was the
only one discussed On the rloor prior to the
adjournment on Thursday, and as 1t is
live question it may be expected to come
no again for fuller consideration. The
Senator from Vermont urged, in opening
the discussion, that the relative proper
tional value OF gold and silver was fiction
too gross to endure longer; that the pres
emf actual value Of the silver dollar was
but > J, cents as compared with >" cents ~
lS7~: that meantime IN the We were further
depressing its value by constant additions
to the enormous pile OF silver IN the treas.
ury. which had reached the amount OF
; iI5 tors of silver dollars, 7i2 tons OF frac-
tiOual silver and l40 tons of silver bullion,
and that whenever our exchanges felt the
shock of an adverse balance OF trade, or
whenever there was an excess OF imports
over exports, the silver certificates would
be rendered at the custom houses In lien OF
cold. and the real difference between our
gold and silver coins will become so mani.
fes: that gold would again become tugl-
tive and a Pickering single standard OF SILL
yer, whether up or down, would become
dominant. Such happening, urged the
Senator, would diSjoint our whole COM
merce and disaster would invade the home

CHICAGO, December The Home Life
Insurance Company, OF New York is en-
gagged in prosecuting case which involves
several Chicago people IN a conspiracy to
defraud them out of $500. William
Schoe!er, q German dealer in artificial
flowers, became sick with consumption,
and was dying. About the same time a
person representing himself as Schoeler
obtained policy from the Home Life for
$500. In time the real Schoeler died, and
a woman weeping bitterly and in deep
mourning, representing herself as his
widow, claimed the amount named in the
policy. By this time, however the com.
pany learned that the man examined under
the name of Schoeler was another person
and that the real Schoeler had left no
widow.
1t is alleged that DR.. Henry Geiger ex.
County Physician, is connected with the
case, and one Itilius Driver, a clerk in the
County Clerks office, was the man who
personated the dying Schoeler. The con-
sumptive was attended by DR.. Geiger when
he died. DR.. Geiger, it is stated, furnished
the proof OF loss.n The widow, who

be used as witness. DR.. Geiger claims
that, having attended Schoeer in his last
illness, he made out the proof Of loss at
the request of Guetschow and that he
knows nothing OF the real facts OF the case.

O'DONEEll'S PAST LIFE.
An officer OF the Government Looking
Up His Record In Youngstown.


YOUNGSTOWN, o., December 1t having
teen telegraphed from this city that Pat
rick ODonnell, who has been sentenced to
death fo- the murder of Informer Carey,
had formerly been a resident OF this city
and had been naturaized here in 1869,
Uni,el States detective eme here day or
two ego from Washington and has been
making all extended research among the
county records to see If the report was
well founded. This was haing done, as it
has been reported the Government would
be asked by O'Donnel!'s friends to re
quest from the English Government
a c0mmutation OF his sentence to
Imprisonment for life. The detec-
tive saws that O'Donnell was born in Mac.
clindody, Ireland, and in 1916 his father,
mother, two brothers and two sisters came
10 America and settled near MauCh Chunk.
Ia. Here the father, Michael ODOnnel.,
opered a saloon, which he run for few
years, when the family returned to Ireland,
where the father shortly afterwsrd died.
In lS75, Daniel O'Donnell, a brother OF
FatriCk's. returned from Australia to find
the family had again retIrned to America.
He found them at MauCh Chunk again,
and when he last heard from Patrick he
was in Philadelphia hospital. When he
driited out here is uncertain, as is so the
tine when he gave up his citizenship here
and returned to Ireland.
