HARTsHoRNE PLEADS GUILTY.
He VIII Go to Jail for Abortion, but
Escapes n Murder Charge.

NEW CASTLE, Pa. March 24.-Thc lovers
of the sensational had a feast yesterday in
the startling wind-up of the trial OF
Professor Hartshorne, the ex-school prin-
cipal, on trial for procuring an abortion on
Miss Aida Robertson, one of his pupils,
who is now in an insane asylum. The
prosecution had put MP strong case. and
the defense had relied greatly on the
testimony to be given by Miss Mollie
jenkins, n sewing woman who had
worked at the Robinson house. But her
testimony was bitter disappointment
to Hartshorne and his lawyers Her testi-
mony contradicted Miss Robinson's in no
particular affecting the guilt or innocence
in the case.
Hartshorne was picture of abject hope
lessness. He leaned over and plucked the
sleeve OF one of his attorneys. His lead
colored face was drawn with despair and
his voice was hoarse and weak. Its of
no use" he said, with an effort to speak
intellisently. ITS of no use to try any
longer might as well as give up"
Suddenly the counsel for the prosecu-
ton began n conference after which At
torney Anderson presented the following
written request to the court; II, X. G.
Hartshorne, beg leave of the court to with
"ihW my piea OF nOt guilty IN lhe case,
and to enter a plea of guilty"
This was granted, and then District At
torney Emery stated the evidence in tho
murder case pending against the defend
ant would be substantially the same as
that in the abortion case just ended. He
asked the court to permit jury to return
verdict OF not guilty. A jury was sworn
and Immediately entered verdict of not
guilty OF murder.
This ended the most sensational case
ever tried in the Lawrence county courts.
Harishorne went back TO jail to await
EpuLunLn.

BUDA PEsTH, March 24-Rioting con-
tinued at intervals all day yesterday and
last night. Cavalry and infantry patrolled
the streets during the afternoon aud night,
but their presence was not sufficient to
preserve order.
Shortly after darkness had set in crowds
began to gather in cafes and other places
of public resort, the proprietors of which
were in sympathy with them. Soon the
crowds took 10 the streets, where their
numbers were rapidly augmented, and be-
gan acting In riotous manner.
The most serious disorder occurred out
side the opera house. The black flag that
had been hoisted under protest had been
hauled down again after tho military had
succeeded in driving the crowd from the
vicinity, and this excited the deepest in
dignatlon among the popuacc 1t was
said the flag had been hoisted not out of
respect for the memory of Kossuth, but
simply for the purpose of appaasing the
fury OF the populace. Last night Andrassy
strasse and the other streets in the i'm
mediate vicinity were filled with mob
the members of which bitterly denounced
the government and the directors of the
opera house Tor what was termed the dis
respect shown the memory OF the greatest
of Magyars.
Again and again the crowd was charged,
hut they for time stubborny resisted
Many of the crowd were knocked down
and trampled upon by the horses of the
cavalrymen and quite seriously injured
After several successive charges had been
made the crowd was dispersed. The sol
diers and police used their swords un-
sparingly, and many OF the rioters We're so

that forty persons were injured during the

CLEVER ST LOUIS FoRGERs
They Succeed In Securing Sixty Thousand
Dollars from Many Victims.

ST. LOUIS, March PA series of forger-
ies of the most remarkable kind has been
unearthed in this city, and detectives are
now at work on it. At least eight banks
have suffered and probably more. The
aggregate of the forged paper will reach
$50, 600, all of which sum has gone into the
pockets of a gang of professionals, who
have succeeded by the use of system
never before equaled, the principal feat
ures of which was the securing of genuine
check blanks and full knowledge of the
serial numbers, by which knowledge they
were able not only to minimize the danger
In uttering, but also delay detection.
The number Of persons In the gang of
forgers Is supposed to be not exceeding
three, but their knowledge of banking
and business methods and the versatility
of their autograph artist are admittedly
ample. Their preparations were elaborate
and consumed some time, but being ready
their haul was made with astonishing
celerity.
The forgers first took account of the fact
that checks drawn by business houses are
written usually upon the firms own lith-
ographed heading, protected by serial
numbers on check and stub. The forgers
therefore not only counterfeitcd the blank
check forms of their victims, but num-
bered their checks close to the numbers of
the checks then running with each victim
ized firm.
TO do this latter opportunity to see the
genuine check books was accomplished in
various ways. In one case n young man,
stating that he represented the printing
house which Autographed the firms
checks. asked permission to see their
check book, as he was sent out to trace up
books alleged 10 have been badly litho
grnphed. The ruse succeeded, and was
probably used in other cases In this IN
stance the Continental bank lost $500
In the case of Julius I4absap, another Of
the victims of the gang, not only was Mr.,
Labsap's signature forged, but the man
who did this was thoroughly conversant
with the clothier's affairs The latter, AZ
rule, In drawing checks put in paren-
thesis the purpose for which the money Is
paid out Immediately following the
amount. In the forged check this pecu-
liarity was observed, and served TO dsarm
suspicion at the bank

to agree to the suggestion at once but
