THE COPPER SYNDICATE.

LONDON, March 1S.-ComptoIr des
Compte, the copper ring and the societe
des Metaux monopolize the attention of
fnanciers. II Is still hoped all will eventual
ly meet their liabilities. Although the
magnitude Of the losses is appalling Its
effect will be circumscribed among those
actually interested. Neither a widespread
panic nor general financial disaster will
ensue. The situation is improving and the
outlook Is better. The skeptIclsm Of Amerl-
can mine owners regarding the unanlmity
Of English owners to accept the syndicate's
offer Is believed TO have been greatly over
come, and the English and American COM
panies are working harmoniously. The
American delegates are expected In Europe
at the end OF March, when another com
binatlon will be made under the MAthe-
sons auspices TO fix the price and
supply Mt figures that will enable
the Societe des Metaux TO meet
It's engagements. The formation
of an English syndicate would result IN the
Rlish capital being required 10 hold the
stock, English agents would be employed
20 reach consumers. Popular hostility
against the syndicate Is growing. The
French government will Introduce In the

For tho Persecution.

Mr.. Wallace congratulated the Jury ON
the speedy termination Of the trial With
them would rest the question to be deter
mined-the life or the death Of George
Duncan Bryson. There could be no middle
course, for the killing OF Annie Lundstrom
was willful and premeditated, as had been
proved. The question OF circumstanttal
evidence was taken up and ably illustrated
by natural comparisons. The question OF
reas0nableness should be considered. Ii
would not do, IN spite Of all the damnlng
circumstances. which have been proved, 10
conjecture that some one else may have
committed the crime. Having presented
the law In the case, Mr.. Wallace reviewed
the testimony, emitting none OF the
facts testified 10 by the witnesses,
forging the links together In q skillful
fashion. Mr.. Wallace said that the
man and woman whom Mr.. Schneider saw
upon the hill August n was Bryson and
Annie Lundstrom, and that the actions or
the man, occasionally STOPPING TO pick up a
piece OF quartz, was done for the purpose
Of accustoming the woman 70 seeing rock
In his hands, and on that night Annie
Lundstrom's spirit quit her body at the
hands OF an assassin-the means used
proven clearly by the evidence. The man
seen by Mr.. Blurock running down the hill
from the prospect DOle was tne hteathlh,
and that man was, In the light OF the testi.
mony, the defendant The threats against
the deceased in the lettere 10 Nary o'Drll
and the threats testified 10 by Valentine
were enlarged upon as showing malice and
premeditatiOn. The time BlurOck and his
wife saw the man running down the hill
was about 10 o'clock and the time Mrs
Hardwick said Bryson went 10 his room ON
Eighth avenue correspond exactly. A man
would have had just Time TO travel the dis
tance between the two places.
The defendants being seen In public
places after the crime was not bravado on
his part, for he thought that
the crime had been SO efectually
hidden no one would ever dis
cover It, Not until the details OF the crime
were made public through the press did he
become alarmed and seek TO hide his iden-
tity by assuming aliases. He was expect
ing money by mail, and with that money
he expected 10 effect his escape. In the
private examination before Judge Sanders
the defendant said that he had seen Annie
Lundsirom In Butte ten days after she had
disappeared, and was forced 10 admit on
the stand that II was a clumsy lie. The man
ner in which he told II was characteristic
OF the man, showing his cunning through
out. Referring 10 every other minor de-
tail, bringing out attendant facts In clear
light, Mr.. Wallace closed his opening re-
marks, having spoken two and 0ne-half
hours. The only evidence discredited was
that Of the witness Mcleod.
