OUR PANAMA CANAL FRAUDS.


Colonel Ingerson Received $1,000 and

WASHINGTON, Feb. AFTER many de.
lays the Panama investigation was begun
by the special committee appointed by the
house for the purpose Charles Colne of
Brooklyn, secretary of the American com
mittee of the Panama company since its
formation in 1881 testified that Mr. Thomp.
son was not at the office much, and most
of the business done there was transacted
through witness. He has disbursed about
100000. After 1888 the principal busi.
ness of the American committee was to
seek for subscriptions to loans and to act
as go between for the Panama Canal
company and the Panama Railroad COM
pany, the canal company owning nearly
all the capital stock of the railroad com
pany.
Mr.. Colne testified in substance that the
American company purchased the Panama
railroad stock at 1890 per share, although
the market price was S40, because it was
necessary to obtain control of the road.
Attorneys fees paid were: To r. j. Inger-
soll 5000, and Shellabarger & Wilson,

PoRT ROYAL S. c., Feb 4.-The tests

down to the lower harbor because it was

tice with the results obtained during pres
ent experiments. Beginning shortly before
noon seven shots were fired, with even
more satisfactory results than any yet OBJ
tained. Two shots fired from the same CUR
consecutively were absolutely accurate
Had the tests been made on shore the two
shells would have fallen In the same hole
The first shot fired for a range of 1000
yards fell directly on the line. Speaking
of the days work. an officer said this after
noon that it would be misleading to state
that every shot had been entirely satisfac-
tory. One of the shots had, he said, been
disappointing, but the remaining six shots
had given the most satisfactory results yet
obtained. 1t is probable that the Vesuvius
will not go down to the lower harbor be-

He Receives the Jury's Verdict with an
Air of Bravado.
BALLsToN, N. Y, Feb. 2.-The jury in
the Foy murder case came into court and
asked that the evidence given by eye wit
nesses of the shooting be read to them.
The testimony showed clearly that the
second shot, which struck Miss Wilson in
the back of the neck, nearly severing the
spinal cord, was the fatal ore, and not
the third one, which was fired after Foy
had shot himself twice in the forehead
The jury retired, and Judge Holmes, who
had been standing out alone that the third
shot was the one which caused death and
which was fired after Foy had been crazed
by bullets striking his skull, now became
convinced of the prisoners guilt and agreed
with the other II jurymen.
Foreman Sckler announced that they
had agreed and that their verdict was
guilty of murder in the first degree. Foy
took his fate nonchalantly and walked
back to his cell with the same air OF
bravado that has distinguished him in Jail
His aged father sat by his side and seemed
to realize that the verdict was the inevita-
BILE result of the evidence.

PARIS, Tex, Feb. 2.-Henry Smith, a
negro, who murdered the 4-year old daugh-

tured by mob. The country roads were
alive with people coming in with wagons
and on horseback. 1t is estimated that

bered nearly 10000 people. When the train
arrived rush was made for the coach in
which the negro was confined. The deputy
sheriffs and the guard of Paris citizens
who accompanied the negro from Tex
arkana drew their revolvers and attempted
to prevent the mob from taking their pris-
oner The guard was quickly overpowered,
however, and rope was thrown about
Smiths neck. He was dragged from the
train and hurried to the scene of his crime.
All along the route he was pelted with
missiles, struck by fists and otherwise NAL
treated. He was tied to a stake, and after
being subjected to every conceivable tor
ture he was cremated amid the howling of

SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE.
Allegations Against DIR. Treverton, an
Uncle of Harris Victim.

Uncle of Harris Victim.
SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. 3.-Evidence which
1t is believed will be of great Importance il
the case of Carlyle Harris, now under con
viction in New York for the murder of hi,
wife, Helen Potts, has just been discovered
here. Mrs. Harris, he young mans mother
has been spending some days here, and il
is principally through her efforts that the
evidence was gathered.
The newly found evidence has been OBJ
tanned from Helen Potts friends and init
mates while she was visitor here Mt the
home of her uncle DR.. c. w. Treverton
and from physicians of high standing in
their profession. Some letters are held
from young ladies in the Hyde Park section
of the city who during Helen Potts visit
here associated with her, and who wert
spoken of as the "arsenic eating coterie, ,
and who know more about the troubles OF
the dead girl than they have heretofore
cared to reveal.
The evidence gathered shows that Miss
Pottswas confirmed morphine eater. The
claim is also made here that whatever
abortion was performed on the girl was
done by DR.. Treverton while she was at his
home, Treverton's wife being an aunt OF
Miss Potts.
1faVerton leit tnlS city some time ago
and is now, 1t is believed living in Chicago.
Treverton's house burned a short time
after the conviction of Harris, and nothing
was saved from it but his diploma, show
ing that he graduated from the University
of New York. Treverton received over
5000 insurance and soon aftcrward left
for the west. There is also some evidence
that DIR. Treverton encouraged his niece in
the use of morphine, and it is stated that
prescriptions that he gave her have been
procured from Hyde Park drug store and
are certified to as being filled for the girl.
