The WEEKLY

The political battle of this year will be the
most important that has been fought in the
United States for years. The struggle will
not only be for supremacy in the White House
and In Congress. but it will also decide our
future economic system-whether the Repub-
iican principal ofprotection, which has caused
such an unparalleled development of our
country in every possible line since its adop-
ton. shall be continued, or whether We shall
plunge the nation into financial depression,
great labor troubles, bankruptcy and poverty,
to carry out the theories of stubborn and
understandable President.
The BLADE will be found where it has ever
stood-on the side of the best interests Of the
whole people: on the side of American work
ingmen as against those of Europe; for the
prosperity of American manufacturers in
stead of those of foreign lands: in favor of
American goods made bv American working.

On home market than foreign one; on the

VS. the Bank of the State of New York, cam
up by adjournment in Supreme Court, Cham
berS William Allan Butler appeared for the
bank and conducted the cross examination.
Bedell was brought Into court by Keeper
Frank Smith, of the Tombs, TO whom he wal
securely handcuffed. The ferger was as sell
possessed as ever, although trifle pale
During the examination he held in his hands
the stenographer's report of the previous
hearing, to which he frequently referred
Charles Bedell, the brother of the witness
was the only friend he seemed to have II

The interests. of Messrs. Shipman, Barlow
Larocque, 81 Choate were cared for by Mr.. >
Clarke, representing Elihu Root, who wai
engaged in the Stewart will case Mr.. Butleri
line of cross examination was to show by the
witness that his employees were not familiar
with the details or the methods of obtaining
certain checks for supposed valid mortgages
To accomplish this Mr.. Butler drew from
the witness history Of each of the twenty
seven forged checks, commencing with tn.
one for S65, ,00O of Henry d. Sayre, whereby
a loan was effected from the Germania Life
Insurance company on o piece of property il
Fifty-seventh street A bogus mortgage fol
$4,000 was obtained By forgery on this same
property from the Farmers Loan and Trust
company.
"Who wrote the names of Henry ID. Sayr
and Mary l.. Sayre on their mortgagesin in
quired Mr.. Butler.
II did, responded Bedel in low voice
and with bowed head.
The witness admitted that he had endeav.
ored to initiate the handwriting of both Sayrt
and his wife. He had seen their signature OF
genuine mortgages.
In this manner mortgage after mortgage
was gone through with, Bedell each time con.
Tossing his guilt and apparently showing nc
desire to Withhold any information which
would enable the attorneys to disentangle the
complications of the suit
Mr.. Butler also succeeded In drawing out
of the witness the fact that the defendants
never inquired of him or any one else about
the bonds. Bedell testified that both he and
the cashier had a set of keys to the safe in
which were kept both the genuine and the
bogus mortgages.
The most interesting episode of the morn.
ing was Bedells frank avowal that in his
affidavit on Sept. 10 last he had sworn
falsely when he said he had forged Henry ID.
Sayre's Endorsement to check for 81, ,397 90
This was loan he had negotiated for al
the Farmers Loan and Trust company for

that they possessed considerable cash. Nc.

Boston, Oct. 31.-Dr Augustus Thomp.
son writes to The Boston Herald that while
he has cut a ridiculous figure in the matter OF
the suit brought against him by Mrs. Beals
for alternating her husbands affections he has
not been criminal
He has been, he says, too generous anC
sympathetic for his own interests, and has
probably given away half dozen fortunes
Some of his benefactions went to persons who
proved unworthy; some to honest people,
from whom he can show grateful letters. On
learning that his efforts for Mrs. Beals good
had been thrown away, he went to his wife
and intimate friends with the facts in the
case.
His family does not believe he means to dc
wrong.
He denies getting 100000 income out Of
'Moxie, having sold his interest some time
ago. He will contest to the bitter end the
verdict of $50, 900 damages against him.
