NEW York, June l7.-Erastus Wiman
has been found guilty Of forgery in the
second degree. Tive maximum penalty
for the offense is " years at hard labor
In the state prison. BY the late laws
passed by the legislature the minimum
penalty has been abolished and Mr..
Wiman may be sentenced to Q term Of
from one day to 10 years. The Jury,
after listening to the impartial charge Of
Judge ~Ingraham, retired at q:8O Friday
afternoon. Everyone In court was on
the tiptoe Of expectation. The majority,
however, were confident that the jury
would disagree on the ground Of alb
sence Of proof that Wiman committed
the alleged forgeries with criminal In
tent. The first shock the defendant Nc
ceived was when Deputy Sheriff Brown
placed him under arrest the moment
that Judge Ingraham began his charge
to the jury. Wiman's son sat behind
him and a number Of friends sat around.
He chatted with them and his every
movement showed that he was confident
Of an acquittal or at least q disagree
ment.
Precisely at-4:3O p. m. the jury fled
into court. The clerk said to the fore
man: Gentlemen, have you agreed to

ray. II am sorry, we find Mr.. Wiman
guilty Of forgery in the second degree,
but we recommend him to the mercy OF
the court"
Judge Ingraham arraigned Mr.. WI
man for sentence until Wednesday, June
20. Deputy Sheriffs Brown and Kelly
escorted Wiman to the Tombs prison.
His sons accompanied him and bade
him an affectionate goodby at the prison
gate. In answer to the requests for an
interview aent him by several newspaper
men, Mr.. Wiman sent this written re-
ply: Impossible to see you now"
General Tracey said: II am aston
ished at the verdict, and until l a con-
suit with my associates, I cannot say
whether an application for a new trial
will be made or not"

You will observe that from year to

Two Hundred Miners Lost Their Lives.
Rescue Party Of Ten Persons Also Per.

the Fire Spreads in All Directions.

TRoPPAU, June 1s.-The total NUN.
Der of deaths resulting from the explo.
sion that occurred in a mine near here q
few days ago is s39. Engineer Kohout,
the sole survivor Of the party that went
to attempt the rescue Of the miners, said
In an interview that he heard a fearful
explosion on Thursday night. He i'm.
mediately rushed to the pithead, from
which dense smoke and q cloud Of coal
dust belched forth. He formed a party
and descended the shaft in the mine. He
entered on the fourth level, where they
found the bodies Of "a miners and sew.
eral dead horses lying at the entrance.
The gallery was blocked with fallen
beams and coal. While waiting for re-
Inducements, 10 survivors issued from
the well leading from the fifth level.
They were almost exhausted. Kohout
signalled for help. Suddenly q terrific
explosion occurred, hurting the wagons
together and throwing kohout to the
ground. His hat fell down the shaft,
but he clutched a door which prevented
him going down also. The lamps In the
level were extinguished.
Kohout held a handkerchief to his
mouth and this prevented him being
choked to death by after damp. He
was, however, gradually losing his senses
when the pitmen were fleeing from the
lower level and went up the shaft,
Kohout shouted and was taken into the
cage and raised to the surface. A second
party descended into the mine and
bravely entered the galleries. They
found all the first rescue party dead.
The rescue continued their explora-
lions, and, although they were badly
burned, recovered some bodies, most Of
which were unrecognizable. The mine
