DO YOU WANT SITUATION THE WOE
PLEADING FOR DR.. MEYER.
Lawyer Charles w. Brooke Be-
gins His Address to the Jury.
The Trial of the Alleged Poisoner
Is Nearly Over.

The last scene in the trial of DR.. Henry
C. F. Meyer for his life is being enacted
in Part II. OF the Court Of General
Sessions to-day The last scrap of tesli-
mony for and against DR.. Meyer had
been submitted to the jury when court
adjourned last evening.
All that was left was the usual formal
notions by the able lawyers who have
defended DR.. Myer the final pleas Of
the chiefs Of counsel on both sides. the
charge of Recorder Smyth and the find-
ings OF the jury.
II was to be an ora torical battle-royal
between two little giants, famous the
country wide as jury orators and public public
for years, ,.arles w. Brooke and Col.
John Il. Fellows.
Each came to the work clad in black
frock coat and immaculate linen, each
careful arrangement of the scant locks
which advancing years have LETT them
Col. Fellows had deviated from his
custom. His once-chesnut. now mouse.
colored kinkey locks, usually scrubbed
up al about his head, was actually
parted low down on the left side. But
Brooke's thin black locks were. tossed
up away, from the. scalp and from all
around the outer circles of the sparseiy
settled apex OF his mental dome they
were tossed towards the centre.
Dr. Meyer was IN DlacK, clean linen
and fresh shaven, too. His chair was
swung around 50 that he faced the
twelve men who were to say whether
he should live or die. He was less ner-
vous than usual and before the proceed
ings began chatted smilingly with THE
Evening World' reporter.
He said with sigh that he was glad
the trial was nearing an end. 1t Is just
thirty-four days since he was arraigned
for trial.
Every seat in court was filled when
Charles w. Brooke arose and began
his last plea for DR.. Meyer. His musi-
cal voice was never in better form. He
began in a conversational tone. He di-
lated on the charge that Meyer had
killed Gustave Maria Heinrich Joseph
Baum with antimony, and cautioned the
jury that the presence OF arsenic in
theb ody should not be considered.
He told them how the Mutual Life In
surance Company. with wealth unlim-
tied and tremendous power. was pursu-
ing DR.. Meyer.
"That powerful corporation has beer
charged with tampering with public of
fcers." said Brooke. impressively
"Charged with tampering with a public
official since this trial began"

STILL BUYING CHEAP COAL.
Twenty Tons Were Ordered from
The World" Yesterday.

Still THE World" keeps up the fight
for a reduction of the price of coal to
reasonable basis. yielding a decent prof
1t. Twenty tons of the fuel were or
dered at the New York and Brooklyn
offices OF the paper yesterday, not
large sale, but sufficient to indicate that
some consumers are still unable TO get
fuel at reasonable prices from their own
dealers.
'"The World has demonstrated, and
will continue TO demonstrate. that the
dealers are doing little less than rob
berry when they tax the householder
e.. .25 for a ton of coal that The World"
can sell at $50 and reap fair proht,
and that the dealers themselves would
be glad to sell at even less figure

up against THE World, II Is still able

New York or Brooklyn at $3.50 per ton,

DWYER'S BAIL $1,000.
Held by Justice Walsh for Ex-
animation To- Morrow.
Lawyer Bowers Didn't Want Himto
Plead.
Will Argue To- Morrow to Have the
Complaint Dismissed.

Phil Dwyer President OF the Brooklyn
Jockey Club. was arraigned before Jus
tice Walsh in the Adams Street Police
Court, Brooklyn shortly after 10 o'clock
this morning on charge OF conducting
and maintaining a lottery Mt the Grave
end race track. He pleaded not guilty
and was held in s.. 900 for examination at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Ex-Sen-
ator John McCarty furnished bonds for
Mr.. Dwyer.
For some time prior to 10 o'clock the
courtroom was filled with sporting
men and others who were curious to
see the great turfman arraigned.
The warrant for Dryers arrest was
issued on the complaint Of Fred. W.
Judson, OF 1853 Seventh avenue, Brooklyn.
Lawyer George f. Elliott appeared
this morning technically for the people,
but In reality for pool-room man DE
Lacy.
Mr.. Dwyer. his counsel. John M.
Bowers, and ex-senator McCarty had
conference with Justice Walsh In the
private room before court opened.
When Justice Walsh went upon the
bench he at once called the Dwyer case.
Mr. Elliott responded for the people,
represented. Mr.. Bowers moved to dis
miss the complaint, on the ground that
no crime had been committed, and none
was shown in the complaint. He said
the Legislature had legalized pool-sell-
ing, and the Court OF Appeals had de-
cided In Harris We. White. 81, N. Y"
that IA handicap was not lottery. He
wanted to argue his motion to dismiss
at once.
MIR. Elliott said Mr.. Patterson. who was
really, the counsel in the case, had stip-
ulated with him that no motion of that
kind would be made to-day, as he pat.
terson was arguing case before the
Court OF Appeals at Poughkeepsie.
Justice Walsh asked Mr. Bowers how
| his client pleaded, Mr.. Bowers said ht
did not want to plead until his pre-
| liminaty motion was decided.
| Justice Walsh took the view that Mr.
tDwyet had better plead not guilty. ant
set the case down for examination
| This course was decided upon, and to-
morrow morning was selected for the
| hearing. Mr. Bowers wanted II under.
stood that the preliminary motion would
| be decided tomorrow before going into
| the details of the crime charged.
Mr.. Dwyer was then told he could go
| He and his friends retired 10 the
| Brooklyn Jockey Club rooms In Fultor
street. Mr. Dwyer had nothing to say
about the matter.
Mr.. DE Lacy was not in court this
| morning but Mr.. Elliott said he woulc
| be In evidence at Gravesend this after
| noon.
| He said the law would be more rigidl,
enforced to-day than yesterday.
