HE IS HERE.
A MAN FAMOUS IN THE CRoNIN
TRIAL.
He Tells the Story of His Wander
ings Since He Left Chicago and
Forfeited His Bail-A Life of
Trouble.

Chicago, April 9.-John Graham, who
became famous some years ago in con-
nection with the alleged attempt to fix"
the Cronin jury and who, after his indict-
ment, left the city and forfeited his bail.
has been discovered in Salt Lake city, by
a reporter for the Daily News, of this
city.
1t was about five years ago that Ora
ham, Al Hanks, Bailiff Solomon and L. l.
Smith were indicted for conspiracy
Shortly after the Indictment of Hanks,
Solomon and Smith squealed. Graham
left the city in haste, and has been away
ever since. In the meantime the prison.
ers charged with the Cronin murder were
convicted. Subsequently the supreme
court of the state reversed the conviction
and granted a new trial for error in the
admission of evidence.
Bourke and O'Sullivan died in the peni-
Tertiary before the decision was handed
down, but Coughlin availed himself of the
new trial. and he was acquitted The
principal witness against Graham was
Smith, who about two years ago became
of wholesale perjury by means of which
fire insurance companies were swindled.

representative of the Daily News met

job, and his identity was now matter Of

How it Came About.

Chicago, April 9.-The counterfeit
stamps seized at the Wells-Fargo ex-
press office in this city were addressed
to Nathan Herzog, a cigar dealer in
the chamber of commerce building.
"A week ago Sunday" said Mr.. Her.
zog, Il saw the following advertise
ment:
1--WE have Sis in United States two
cent stamps, which we cannot use here,
and will send them by express, c. o. d..

Supply Company, Hamilton, Ont
Il answered the advertisement and
said | would take all The stamps they
could furnish me at that discount and
requested them to send me the number
advertised. Yesterday an express mes
senger brought in the package. l eX-
amined the stamps. The color and
general appearance led me to suppose
that they were counterfeit 1 said so
to the messenger. He replied that 1

cred four similar packages within an
hour and the people had paid for them.

cause the firm had said that they

Secret service agents in Buffalo and

postal authorities are expecting the
capture of the culprits.

Springfield, ILL.,. April 9.-Mr. Hin
richsen, chairman of the Democratic
state central committee, speaking Of
Senator Palmer's interview regarding
the call for a convention to consider
the monetary question. said if he had
not been assured to the contrary. he
would have said the interview was
bogus. The position assumed by Sena-
tor Palmer was so entirely different
from that of a few years age, that MIR.
Hinrichsen said he could not under
stand it. That Senator Palmer or any
other true Democrat could oppose the
submission to the people of such
vital question seemed TO Hinrichsen be-
that the discussion had been opened
up; it will give every man a chance to
stand up and be counted.
Mr.. Hinrichsen says the supposition
that the gold men of the party will be
ruled out of the convention was en-
tirely wrong. All shades of Democracy
have an equal show. Mr.. Hinrichsen
went on to say that in 1891 Representa-
tive Ferns introduced a resolution in
the Illinois house of representatives in
structing United States Illinois sena-
tors to vote for the free coinage OF
silver. This resolution was approved
by Senator Palmer before it was in
troduced. and it received the vote of
every Democrat in the house. This Is
the same legislature that elected Pal
mer.
Mr.. Hinrichsen added that the plan
of holding the convention meets with
general approval The convention will
give to the voters the instructions they
need and a pan of campaign TO be
carried out in accord with views there

no consequence to him. Graham said that
while it was true that he left Chicago
he was guilty, but because he
could not obtain a fair trial, in view
OF the excitement, the nature OF the
charges and their relation to the Cronin
case. He declared Smith was associated
with Divorce Lawyer Goodrich, for whom
Graham, with another lawyer, was @en-
gagged in trying the case; that smith

Connelrs special bailiff to, put him and a
friend of his on the Cronin jury, II palo

money TO pay him, and sustained no rela-
lions with anyone who would pay for

After this Smith hunted up others to
jury to sell him to the highest bidder, and
when he was detected he Immediately
sought immunity for himself by. accusing
others, including myself. The last case
in which Smith was indicted for perjury

scheme to rob the insurance companies,

COUNTRY FLOODED.
BOGUS STAMPS MADE WITH GREAT
ACCURACY.
Believed the Gang Has Headquarters
in Chicago, and Have Worked
Successfully as Far West as San
Francisco.

Chicago. April 9.-The Tribune says:
United States secret service operatives
in Chicago and Washington have I'M
earthed probably the most unique and at
the same time important swindle ever
perpetrated upon any government. Its
magnitude can only be guessed at but it
is believed thousands upon thousands of
dollars have been secured by number of
skilled counterfeiters, who have repro
duced with wonderful skill and accuracy
the pink two-cent stamp of commerce.
Whether the counterfeiters have ac-
completes in dishonest postmasters is not
known. 1t is thought the country is
flooded from New York to San Francisco
with these spurious stamps and the Uni
ted States has been carrying millions of
letters from which not one cent of rev.
enue was received.
1t was said in Washington that while
the gang has had headquarters in Chica-
go. it has operated III ST. Louis, Cincin-
natl. Buffalo, and as far west as San
Francisco.

New York, April 9.-John G. Moore,

testing the validity of the income tax
law said last night: Il am advised by
my counsel that the court divides
equally on the question of the val
idity of the tax so far as the $4,000
exemption is concerned. There is a
strong expression of opinion by Jus
tice Field that the entire law is I'M
constitutional. This, however, cannot
be decided until there is a full bench.
The question as to the invalidity of
the law on account Of the $4,000 ex-
emPtion can be raised by motion for
a rehearing before the full bench, or
by making a payment under protest
and suing the collector to collect the
money This is only a partial victory.

Chicago. April 9.-Ben Cable. mem
Der of the Democratic state central
committee. does not see that any good
end will be attained by the silver con-
vention which the state central COM
mittee has set for June l.
THE manner in which this conven-

departing for New York last night 'It
seems to me the state central COM
mittee acted Unwisely in making the

May he Exaggerated.

Washington, April 9.-Chief Inspector
Wheeler, of the postoffice department, re-
fuses to say anything about the stamp
counterfeiting in Chicago, though he has
received several kilograms concerning the
affair. 1t was learned from other officials
however. that the extent of the counter
feiting has been over-estimated. The
third assistant acknowledgement say,
counterfeit stamps have carried letters
through the mails and been cancelled, but
stamp counterfeiting cannot be carried on
TO any great extent. as the cost OF max
ing the stamps and the difficulty of dis
posing of them render counterfeiting of
little profit. Large purchases of stamps
are usually made from responsible and
known men. Unknown persons having
stamps to sell, he added, are under sus-
picion of having stolen them, and large
purchases, therefore, are not likely to be
made from them.
Chief Hazen, of the secret service divi-
sion of the treasury department, received
a telegram from one of his agents at CHI
cago, stating that he has seized 500 worth
of counterfeit two-cent postage stamps.
They had been shipped from Buffalo and
were due in the Wells-Fargo express of
flee. The officials have been on the alert
for something of this kind since July,
when they learned of a man making in
quiries. under suspicious circumstances,
as TO the process of printing stamps. The
officials of the secret service are working
on the case, in connection with the post
office inspectors.

1t is Binding.

Washington, April $50 far as the
lower courts are concerned" said At
torney-General Olney, ''bhe division of
the supreme court on the income tax
law is as binding as if the whole
court had been unanimous in It's
favor. L cannot believe any judge
would grant injunction to prevent a
collector, from collecting the tax on
incomes derived from other sources
than rents or state and municipal
bonds in the face of the supreme
courts action. The only way 1 can
see by which persons who object to
paying the tax can secure judicial ac-
ton is by paying the tax under pro-
test and entering suit for its recov-
ery.''
