FIND DEMPSEY GUILTY.
Verdict of the jury in the Homestead
Poisoning Case.

PITrsBURG. Pa, Jan. 2o-The Jury
in the Dempsey case to-day found the
defendant guilty as indicted. Judge
Stowe in charging the jury reviewed
very carefully and impartially all
points of the testimony brought out
during the trial It was for
the jury, he said, to determine whether
poison was put into the coffee or tea
or the food in the Homestead mill
This question" he said, depends
solely upon the testimony of Gal
lagher and Davidson. If they tell
the truth, then the defendant wa.
the original and principal in the bust
ness, responsible for the acts of Gala
CHER and Davidson, or either, and ac-
countable for whatever they did in
pursuance of his instructions Now,
just here comes the great question, so
far as the defendant in this case is
concerned. Dempsey emphatically de-
mics what Gallagher and Davidson say
in regard to the purpose for which he
employed them. He is is competent
but interested witness They are also
competent but suspicious and tainted
witnesses. But the jury may. if they
believe their testimony, convict from
1t alone

LIGHT ON IRON HALL FRAUDS
Attorney Jasne> Young Tells How Money
Wns biHis.ed Aiming Officers.

Attorney .Jane> Young Tells How Money
Was Biess:.d Among Officers.
New YORK. Jan. 2i.-In referring
to the Iron Hal order the Elmira, n.
Y, correspondent of the Herald says:
A member Of the Iron Hall, residing
in this city, recently wrote a letter to
Judge James c. Young Of Kansas City,
the chief attorney for the general re-
ceiver of the order in the 'nited States,
and in his reply to Judge Young gives
an extended review Of the financial
condition of the order and makes some
very sensational charges of embezzle-
ment and robbery against Supreme
Judge Somerby and other officers of
the order. Among other things Judge
Young says:
ut ought to be sufficient for the
mem bership of the order to know that
Somerby and his crowd collected over
$11 900. 900 from the mem bership, con-
ceding the books to be correct, though
it is developing now that much more
has been collected than has ever been
entered on the books. Out Of that
81, OO0, 900 has been paid on matured
claims; there is 81, OOO, 900 in the
hands of the receiver, and
1000. 900 has, to put it mildly, been
misappropriated; but the facts are that
81, 500, 900 has been actually embezzled
and the other $500, 900 disappeared
without any possible excuse or expla
nation that has ever yet been offered
by the old Somerby gang. The only
explanation they offer is that it was
necessary to put $4,000 more into
the worthless bank in Philadelphia in
order oto save the 100000 already
there"
Col Young goes on at length, stat
ing that Someroy began his career as
swindler by defrauding II. c. McGib
bon of Kansas City out of $1,000 in
1864, that he went to Detroit and swim
died the Chosen Friends Society out
of large amount, afterward allying
himself to the Iron Hall, ingratiated
himself into the affections of credu-
lous women and inexperienced men
and made himself sort of demigod.
Col Young further sta ties that he Wis
tied Somerby In his Philadelphia
home and that his representations of
poverty are false and that he lived in
the most luxurious manner. He de-
clares that he will prosecute Somerby
until he lands him in Jail
