Benjamin Mclean, of Kansas City, is
dead at Hotel st. Louis, Minnetonka.
He died while eating his dinner. He is
about fifty-eight years old and death re-
suited from apopleyy. He had been at
the lake about two weeks, and had been
very well indeed. During the morning
he watched the tennis tournament. At
noon he returned to the hotel and COM
planned of slight headache. He was
eating a hearty dinner and chatting
gaily when he fell back in his chair
Three minutes later he was dead. DR..
Tubalski. prominent physician of

the time Mclean died, almost before he
could reach him. Mclean was one of
the wealthiest and most prominent mer-
chants in Kansas City. He founded the
hide and wool house of Benjamin Nc
Lean & Co., and was in that business in
Kansas City for twenty-five years. A
few years ago ne retired from active
business, which he reIinquished to his

AS foretold in yesterdays GLOBE, j.
Frank COLON was again brought before
Judge Emery at the municipal court
yesterday morning for further arraign-
ments on more complaints, all sworn
out by W. B. Anderson, and each alleg-
ing the forgery of Blaisdell's indorse-
ment on a different note at different
date. They were eight in number.
The notes alleged to have been forged
aggregating $4,000, the dates and
amounts being as follows:
July 5, $500, three months, payable to
myself"
June II, $4,000, three months, payable to
F. A. Chamberlain.
July 5, $500, three MONTHS payable to

Half the complaints were for forgery
and half for uttering forged paper, the
latter charge evidently being surprise
for the defense. When the reading of
The first complaint had been finished

his desire to have all the cases take the
same course as the ones of yesterday,
and it was SO ordered. bail being fixed
at $4,000 in each case, making
grand total of $1,000 in the
eleven cases on which he has
already been arraigned. The defense
propose to make motion for the reduc-
ton of the bail, and will probably be
heard to-day. Colon spent his sleep
ing hours in the county jail again last
night, and told a reporter that no i'm
mediate attempt to get bail would be
made, and that he should make no move
in that direction until he and his friends
had decided what it was best to do.
Colon appeared weary and more
nervous than at his previous appear
anee in court, but still did not evince
any particular fear or anxiety as to the
final outcome of the affair; When he
was taken back to the Jail from the
court room Colon asked Dep
uty Patterson to take him to
Sheriff Eyes office. The request
was granted, and the young man
startled Mr.. Eye by requesting that he
be allowed to go home to see his wife.
After some talk the sheriff acquiesced,
and, accompanied by Deputy Peterson,
COLON drove to his house on Portland
avenue, and was with his wife for some
time. He returned to the Jail at 80

freshed by the drive and COM

A Report That the creditors Thus
Seek Settlement.
The creditors held another meeting
in Judge Shaw's Office yesterday after
noon, but would say nothing as to what
had been done further than to Intimate
that they had mapped out a
course of action to be pursued
by the people holding the al
legged spurious paper. Frank Bruen
said last night that he was not at liberty
to tell anything that was done at the
meeting. but that the action of the
creditors there taken was likely to ma
terially influence the course of events
in the great sensation, and that it would
from its nature become public in the
course Of two or three days. Further
than this he would say nothing. but
it was learned from another source
that the probable course of the
creditors would be to endeavor to
secure the appointment of receiver
for Colon and thus secure the satisfac-
ton of their claims. This is the first
move thus far made that looks like a
practical attempt to secure an early set
Element, and is undoubtedly the plan
to which Mr.. Bruen referred.
Early last evening Emerson Cole,
Frank Rupert and George McNeir Wis
tied COLON at the Jail, carrying small
armful of papers, apparently deeds
which they probably desired him to
sign. Their visit is supposed to be con-
nected with the receiver plan OF some
scheme closely allied to it.

Clarke, for several years, and had pro-
cured divorce for him from former
wife about five OF six years ago. He had
known Clarke's present wife. Gertrude
E. Clarke, since very short time
after her marriage to complainant
and had been introduced to her as Mrs.
Clarke. He had no personal knowledge
of the marriage ceremony, but knew
that the two had lived together as man
and wife, and had held each other up to
the world as such. Judge Donahue
argued that this was not evidence, as he
did not know of any actual marriage,
but Judge Emery held that the circum-
stances related made the two man and
wife in the eyes of the law, and after
some sparring on this point, the testi-
mOny was admitted. Lawrence also
knew that Clarke's present wife left
him prior to the time the adultery is
alleged to have been committed, May l,
1889.
w. Riddell was then called. He testi-
ned that he was a contractor and
builder; that he had built a house for
Mr.. Clarke. and was well acquainted
with both husband and wife, as they
always called each other. and as they
were generally understood to be. He
also testified that Helm frequently
called at the house when Clarke was
absent, and he continued his visits to
Mrs. Clarke after she left her husband,
and took lodgings at us First avenue
south.
At this point Riddell was asked if he
recognized Helm among those present
in the court room. He looked over the
aggregation of people inside the rail
and said he thought he did. On being
asked to point him out he extended his
arm in the direction of Helm, Ed.
Stevens and a GLOBE reporter, who
were sitting near together. On being
asked which he meant he pointed
directly at the Faber manipulation. The
legal lights smiled and Clark didn't, and
then Judge Emery. to clinch the
matter, asked If he meant the man
with the pencil in his mouth.
"YeS, sir"
And the man with the pencil in his
mouth was the scribe. That ended his
testimony.
w. F. Black had lived in the same
house with Clarke and his wife, at 1912
Vine place, some time, and knew that
they lived as man and wife and ac-
knowledged each other as such.
William NJ. Russell had known
Clarke twenty years, and knew his
wife; had been introduced to her as
Mrs. Clarke.
That ended the testimony for yester-
day, and the case will be called again
at $50 this morning.

Month

A tough-looIling old citizen. with a
brutal face made more so by excessive
drinking, was arraigned before Judge
Emery yesterday on the charge of
drunkenness. He gave his name as
John Buckley, and told the court that
he would never have been arrested eX-
cept for a spite that one of the officers
had for him. His honor evidently did
not believe this statement, as he sent
John to the workhouse for twenty days.
AS he left the court room in the com
pany of Sergeant Pierce he turned
threatening eye on the judge and re-
marked: "I'll see you again, you
-" but just then the door closed and
the remainder Of his sentence was not
heard. The judge called him back,
however, and added thirty days for con-
tempt OF court, which so surprised the
old fellow that he walked quietly out,
turning his hat in his hand and looking
at the floor.
