PIRATES KILLED ROEHL.
Murder PaiIister's Lawyer Tells
OF the Escape From Sing
Sing and Subsequent
Events,

New York, May l1.-Murderer
Thomas Pallister never killed Muir
derer Frank w. Roehl on the night
OF their escape from Sing Sing
Prison.
Lrwyer Ambrose II. Purdy made
this statement this afternoon. Then
he told the story of the murderer's
escape from the death-house OF
Sing Sing and the subsequent tragic
death OF Roehl.
Four men, Lawyer Purdy said,
were the ones who aided Pallister to
escape from Sing Sing to this city in
. Whitehall boat which they had
waiting for him near the prison
landing, Roehl had been murder =
ed, he said, by two of these men be-
cause he insisted on accompanying
them.
"Im not going to tell you how |
learned this story" said Mr. Purdy,
"but what ! shall tell you is abso-
lutely true. Pallister lived along
the river front on the lower west
side OF this city" continued the
lawyer. "The four men who aided
him to escape were members of his
gang of pirates. The first intention,
believe, was to Kill the officer who
should bring PalIister on the train
TO court, but they abandoned that
OBJECT. For several nights previous
TO the escape large Whitehall
boat was waiting for Pallister. On
the night Of the escape Pallister and
Roehl were allowed to 60 into the
corridor together by Guard lIulse

about Roehl getting Hulse TO warm

IDENTIFIED AS ROEHEL.

Thinking that his find might in
terest the prison officials he de-
termined to row to Sing Sing,
having no idea of the Importance
of the discovery. State Detective
Jackson and Principal Keeper Con-
naughton went down to see the
body. Cannaughton looked at it,
Jackson looked at it, and then they
looked at each other. Both men
felt certain it was Roehl. An ex.
animation of the pockets disclosed a
Bible from the prison library, a
knife and pictures of Roehl's mother
and younger sister.
They then made for the pistol
pocket for the revolver Roehl had
taken from Guard Hulse on the
night of the escape. The pocket
was turned inside out as if the re.
volver had been drawn hastily
Both men then declared it was
Roehl. Word was at once sent to
the Coroner, and then DR.. Irvine
took part in the examination OF the
body with the Coroner.

ROEHL HAD BEEN MURDERED.

Then followed the sensational
surprise, which demonstrated that
Roehl had been murdered by his
companion. DR.. Irvine found a
bullet hole in the right side of the
head. There was also evidence that
the shot had been fred while Rochl
had been stopping over. 1t looks
much as if Pallister hit the man and
then shot him without giving him a
chance to defend himself. After
that Pallister took the body and
threw it overheard.
An autopsy performed by Drs.
Irvine and Sheehan showed that the
bullet in the brain of Roehl had
caused his death, and that he had
not died of strangulation by drown
ing. There were marks on the
head that indicate that Roehl had
been struck powerful blow about
the time he had been shot, and that
he was dead before he fell into the
water. Both blows were sufficient
to cause death.

Il to-day saw NJ. Clemenceau," when NJ.
Develle interrupted him and begged the
president of the chamber TO consider
that the matter was an interna-
tionai question. NJ. Millevoye fur
thcr accused NJ. Clemenceau of de-
lvering to England the private letters
that passed between Ribot. lately prime
minister and minister of foreign affairs,
and the French minister to Egypt and be-
tween NJ. Ribot and the French ambassa-
dor at Constantinople. He produced .
list OF names OF persons and papers that
he alleged that England had bribed and
the amount Of money given as bribes. He
read, ,amid an uproar that almost drowned
his voice: "Tcmps. so. .0)o francs; lie Mntin.

At this point the uproar and confusion in

stood his ground aud when n semblance

that he would not listen to him and would
resign his seat rather than do SO. The
order of the day was then moved to the ef-

ANSWERS SIR CHARLES
Hon. 3. ]. Phelps Begin; BIB Arsu-
ment In Behalf Of America.
VERY BRILLIANT ADDRESS
He Attacks the Position OF the
British Counsel and Asserts
That They Have Evaded
the Real QUESTION.

PARIS, June 22.-Hon. T.. ]. Phelps OF
the counsel for tho United States opened
his argument in behalf of the contention
OF the United States before the Bering sea
tribunal OF arbitration to-day. and his ad.
dress was q brilliant one. He said that
the case presented only two main ques-
tions-Have the Canadians aud renegade
Americans, who seek the shelter OF the
British nag in order to defy the laws Of
their own country, q right to continue de-
stroying the seal species, AMI IL SO, what
regulations arc necessary TO prevent the
determination Of the seals. Other ques-
tions might bo involved, but they arc
merely incidental.
"Amcrica," ho added. "claims that
the indiscriminate destruction OF seals is
inhuman. barbarous and o violation
OF the laws of all civilized nations
for the protection of wild animals in tho
breeding season. The British claimed the
right to exterminatc the species for the
sake OF small temporary profit. They did
not meet tho question as to whether the
right exists, but exhausted the resources
OF their ablest advocacy to evade II. The
British counsel approached the question i'm
every direction except the straight. for
ward one. They pretended to inquire
whether the United States is justified in
scizing British vessels engaged in pe!asic
seal hunting"
Phelps declared that there Is no such
question before the tribunal. After re-
marking that tho British assertion that
the United States wished 70 declare the
Bering sea a mare clausum Is untrue,
Phelps said that the seizures Of pclagic
sealing vessels were effected under the
American claim to the right to protect the
| seals.
Great Britain has veercd around he
said, ''since tho arbitration treaty was
concluded, and has based her case upon
nm elaborate defense Of pclaeic sealing,
insisting that no regulations would be ac.
ceptable to her which Is inconsistent with
the prosperity of the pelagic hunters"
