COXEY IN COURT.
Claims That He Kept OF the Grass
and Was Not Guilty Of Lawless-
ness-Frye's Army Has
Money.

Washington. May 1.-THE defense had
an inning to-day in the police court
where the three leaders of the Common
veal army, Coxey, Brown and Jones, are
on trial for their May day demonstration
at the capitol. A young attorney named
Hyman, who defends Brown and Jones,
made the opening statement for the
defense. There was no denial or
defense for what the Common
wealers had done. He began by
saying that the defense would consist
of the lawfulness of their actions. He
| could remember but one similar occur
renee in history. THE attorney thereupon
produced the bible and began to read a
scriptural passage.
81 must object to that" interposed the
district attorney, "the gentleman should
confne himself to the statement of facts"
The first witness for the defense was
Frank Harper, a young newspaper man
from Alexandria, Va. According to his
story the police had driven the citizens
on the grass before the procession ar
rived. He saw Gen. Co1ey arrive, was
certain Coxey had not walked on the
grass.
On cross examination he said there were
$4,000 or 10000 people waiting, all cheer
ing and whooping for Coxey.
"Disorderly, were they not" inquired
the district attorney.
"No, they had a right to cheer; they
we're American citizens"
Witness No.. 2 was colored man named
Samuel L. Perrick, who, when asked his
business, explained: II am one of the
army of the unemployed just now" He
could swear that Gen. Co1ey did not
touch the grass.
Being called upon to give ruling on
the question asked the witness, Judge
Miller said there might be mitigating cir
cumstances bearing upon the intent to
violate the law; that defendant might
have been forced upon the grass.
This witness also had seen the police
drive people onto the grass.
THE coxEY MOVEMENT DENOUNCED.
St. PAULA resolution was introduced
at the chamber of commerce meeting to-
day denouncing the Coxey movement and
condemning individuals and states aiding
the members of the so-called Common
veal army. After considerable debate it
was referred to committee for further
consideration.
GEN. FRYE HAS MONEY.
Indianapolis.-Gen. Frye and army of
200 men left for Washington to-day. He
said the roasting the local press had given
him had been the means of putting $500
in his pocket. He expects to reach the
capital with $4,000 in his treasury.
Valparaiso Dissatisfaction with Gen.
Randall resulted in division of the army
and two sections are now marching under
different leaders.
BUILDING BOATS.
Des Moines.- Kelly's army resumed
work on the boats this morning and ex-
pect to have them completed SO as to

The Leading Bankers and Financiers

Chicago, May 1.-THE Record says:
"Chicago bankers, whose names are known
the world over, have come out of late in
favor of international bi-metallism, not
only bankers but merchant princes and
manufacturers, who not long ago regarded
international bi-metalism as too phan-
tasmal to be thought of by any one but
Populsts, now favor it. Marshal Field,
Lyman j. Gage, Geo. M. Pullman and
fifty others of hardly less wealth and i'm
portance in the financial world, have
signed the creed with bi-metallism as the
basis and pledged themselves to promote
the adoption of an international system

TWO MURDERS.
Excitement at Roswell Over the
Thomas killing-GeO. Fitzpat-
rick Shot to Death Near
White Oaks.

Much excitement has prevailed at Ros-
we'll and vicinity during the past few
days over the killing of L. j. Thomas by
r. P. Alexander. Sheriff W. NJ. Atkinson
was in telegraphic communication all day
yesterday with the governor on the sub
ject. Hon. L. A. Richardson and Mr..
Roberts, the Roswell justice of the peace.
are attorneys for Alexander. They in
sisted on an immediate, hearing before the
nearest disinterested justice which would
necesstate trip of forty-fve miles.
Sheriff Atkinson desired to hold Alexander
in Jail until Deputy U s. Marshal Per-
ry, an important witness, could return
from the Socorro court, which would be
two weeks hence. This contention caused
both sides to appeal to the governor and
last evening Sheriff Atkinson was wired
that, under the law, he would have to
either give the prisoner a preliminary
hearing at once or release him on bail.
It is likely that the latter course will be
pursued and the hearing put off till Mr.
Pe-rys return, as he is highly import
ant witness. He saw the shooting. Ac-
cording to his statement, Thomas, who had
been forbidden to come into the saloon of
Alexander some time previous, had been
in the habit of calling on Alexander's
partner, who was friend of Thomas
It appears that Alexander remained in

concerned and apparently not expecting
to meet Alexander. Alexander was sit
ting on the back of chair watching a
game. Thomas stepped past the screen
which hides the inside of the saloon from
the view of people passing the door, then
Alexander noticed who it was and imme-
diately pulled his six-shooter and com
menced firing at Thomas. The first shot
struck Thomas in the shoulder, the next
in the head and the next in the side.
Thomas fell sidewise between the screen
and the door. By this time Perry had
grabbed Alexander and turned his pistol
up, taking him in charge at once. Thomas
was found to have a six-shooter IN his
hip pocket but had never drawn it.,

FATAL SHOOTING AT WHITE OAKS.
An Old Abe Eagle extra brings the
news that George Fitzpatrick was instant
ly killed near the coal mines southeast of
White Oaks on last Thursday. The fatal
shot was fred by young man named
Robert Forsythe, brother-in-law of the
deceased, and was witnessed by another
boy named Oliver Peaker. Both of the
young men gave themselves up to Deputy
Sheriff Preston. Forsythe alleges that
Fltzpatrick had threatened his life and
abused his sisters, Mrs. Fitzpatrick and
Mrs. Sam Wall, and that he had to kill
or be killed.

Touching the Wool

Providence, r. l., May IA Washing
ton special says: "The proposition of
the wooden manufacturers to the senate
committee on wool tariff, concerning
which there has been SO much specula-
tion, follows the Mckinley tariff bill till
January ], 1895. Then reduction of 10
per cent is made, followed annually by a
similar reduction until absolute free trade
conditions are reached. The schedule
has, it is understood, been submitted to
the New England manufacturers by Dem
ocratic wooden manufacturers and they
have agreed to it and it is claimed that
virtually all the woolen manufacturers in
the United States have signed the petit

pressed with the proposition. This set
Element of the wool tariff would enable
manufacturers to make preparations and
the reductions in the tariff contemplated
would not disturb trade seriously"

For TOLEDO OR DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids

nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTONf
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
