FIELD ARRESTED
Charged With Grand Larceny in
First Degree.
WHO WAS THE BOMB THROWER9
Evidence Tending 10 Show Norcross Was
Graves Barnaby Case-Testimony of
Mrs, WOrrell Jr.

New YORK, Dec. 14.-Edward M. Field
son of Cyrus w. Field and partner in the
defunct firm of Field, Lindley, Wiechers
Il Co., was arrested tonight by detectives
on an indictment charging him with grand
larceny in the first degree. He was locked
up in police headquarters.
Field was taken at the private asylum in
which he has been confined since the col
lapse of the firm. From orders given by
the district attorney it would seem he does
not place absolute credence in the belief
that Field is so insane as to be irresponsi-
bic for his acts. He will be arranged to-
morrow.
District Attorney Nlcoll gave the follow
ing statement tonight; I'm view of the
repeated charges made in the press, deem
1t my duty without awaiting complaint by
parties Interested and said to have been de-
frauded. Mr.. Field may be insane. If he
is, it must be proved as a defense to the in
dictment in the usual way. No man ever
charged with crime can avoid prosecution
by being committed to private insane

DENVER. Dec. 14.-In the Barnaby-
Graves trial to-day Mrs. E. S. Worrell sr,
was the first witness. she said she be-
came acquainted with Mrs. Barnaby last
January when she arrived in this city with
Mrs. Worrell, sr., on her trip to California.
She next saw her in April when she re-
turned from California, witness re-
membered the arrival of the deadly bottle
at her house, but could not say she had
seen 1t before. She thought, however, it con-
tanned whisky for she heard some one
say SO. Witness testified that Mrs Wor-
rell, ST., and Mrs Barnaby became i'll and
the latter died from drinking some of the
contents OF the bottle which they Supposed
came from BENEFITS. She then told of
meeting with DR.. Graves upon her arrival
in Denver.
Mrs. Worrell, jr, further said that on
Tuesday she asked Mrs Barnaby if she
believed 1.-The BENEFITS" sent the bottle
asking this because when Mrs. Barnaby
opened the bottle she spoke of the BENEFITS
as having sent it. She also asked if Mrs
Barnaby believed DR.. Graves sent it,
saying she believed the doctor had
complete control of Mrs. Barnaby's affairs
and knew she was not satisfied with the
way he had treated her in California.
Witness heard Mrs. Barnaby had left the
doctor $4,000 in her will and also that she
LETT Mrs. Worrell, ST., some money. On
cross-ex animation the witness admitted
the fatal bottle remained in the buggy at
the livery stable all night, and was
not brought to the house until
next day.
Witness grandmother then testified as
TO the illness of Mrs. Barneby. She asked
her to keep the affair out Of the papers
that the would put it in the hands CT de-
tectiues; that she had no enemies, but
thought maid she had didn't like her;
that this maid was employed at DR.. Graves
request. Witness asked Mrs. Barnaby if
there was anyone that would do this She
replied that she had left DR.. Graves $50, 600,
and spoke of her mother dying not Ions
| before, and also her daughters
| Mrs. Conrad, mother of Mrs Worrell,
! jr., testified much the sane as her daughter
except that she spoke OF how nervous DR..
Graves was when he called at Mrs. War
rell's. She said On the funeral car return
ing east Mrs. Warrell complained OF feeling
i'll. The doctor st once offered TO give heI
some whisky, but she turned away and
said, ''Oh, excuse me-" He repeated his
offer three times. Mrs Conrad admitted
that the real estate firm of Warrell g. Co.
did little business, but she would never
entertain thought shat they could have
committed the crime TO get 80, 900 left them
by Mrs. Barnaby.

The Enterktn Wrecked.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE list of casualties
caused by the storm is gaining fresh &C
cessions. The most serious of all disasters
is the wreck of the British ship Enterkin
off Ramsgate, county of Kent. Thirty
lives were lost, every person except an ap-
prentice boy being drowned.
After the Enterkin struck, part of the
crew succeeded in launching a boat and got
clear of the ship. They were almost i'm
mediately thrown into the sea, swamping
the boat. The boy was the only one of
those remaining on board the ship who es-
capped.
The rain has been so heavy in the dis
tricts drained by the Thames that the
river is rapidly rising. In some places the
low lands are inundated. The slopes at
Windsor castle and some parts of the royal
park are partly submerged.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec 14.-Alexander
Pope, Boston artist, was attacked by
man eater, yesterday morning, at Barnum
& Bailey's winter quarters, and might have
lost his life but for the prompt action of
George Conklin and Henry Shaw, keepers.
Mr.. Pope arrived Saturday, and went to
work yesterday morning upon his picture
of three lions. Mr.. Pope was here last
year making studies of lions and tigers.
He painted the large picture of the lion
and tiger fighting, called, 1.-The Gladia-
tors" In order to facilitate the work and
provide action for a spirited picture,
Keeper CoDkiin threw two dens of wild
beasts together and the pair of tigers
fought furious battle. Their roars put
many of the other animals into state of
frenzy, but during the pandemonium, Mr.
Pope cody proceeded with his work. MIR.
Pope, assisted in parting the tigers and
one of them, Ben, flew at him, but did not
succeed in reaching him. During the re-
mainder of last winter the same tiger
| showed emnity towards Mr.. Pope, and
! whenever he saw him, would strike the
bars of his den and rush to get at him.
Yesterday morning, Mr.. Pope, while paint
ing forgot himself while studying the lion
and got too near the cage. "Ben"
instantly seized him by the shoulder. Mr..
Pope held in his right hand his mahlstick
and brush, and in his left the palette and
extra brushes He tried to stick the in
furiated animal with these harmless i'm
plements and then Ben" reached out with
his other paw, struck Pope upon his back
and tried 20 draw him into the den. Conk-
lin saw the danger almost before the first
blow and was quick to thrust sharp iron
prod into the tigers breast. Shaw seized
the artist by one arm and pulled him
partly around. As he did so the coat was
torn off and the artist saved

Springer Defines His Policy.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
-.WAsHINGToN, Dec. IA World CORES
pondent visited Mr.. Springer at his resi-
dence last evening and asked this question
''In case you are appointed chairman of the
committee on ways and means, what policy
regarding the tariff will you advocate"
"a general revision of the tariff at this
session of Congress" he replied,
s'Is IMPRACTIcABLE IF NOT IMPoLITIC.
A bill providing for such a revision could
not be completed and brought before the
House before the middle of april. 1t
would be discussed in committee of the
whole House for several weeks and per-
haps two or three months, as was the Mills
bill four years ago. The Senate would re-
quire time for its consideration and the
consequence would be that Congress would
be kept in session till the latter part of
September or the 1st of October. A gen.
eral revision of the tariff submitted to the
popular vote with so little time for its con-
sideration would result inevitably in defeat
to the party responsible for it. l have
only to cite the fate of the Mills bill and
the Mckinley DILL to establish this fact.
While.I would, therefore, not advise the
| introduction at this session of a general
revision, ! should insist that every effort
! be made by the committee to
prepare such bill. In addition
to this the committee on manufactures
should be enlarged to fifteen members and
should be constituted with ten Democrats
and five Republicans. Five sub-commit
! tees of three members each should bt
designated, and 10 these subcommittee
should be referred various schedules of ths
tariff law, and a thorough investigation
made into the industries affected by sucI
schedules.
IF THESE INDUSTRIES ARE ENTITLED TO PRO
