ANOTHER SENSATION.
HOLMES LAWYER ARRESTED.
Ae Hireti Woman to Swear to An Am.
davit to BE Used In Securing New
Trial,

philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 19.-There was
another sensational episode lii the
Holmes case yesterday in connection
with tho motion for new trial.
William Shoemaker, the young attor-
ney whose first association with the case
Is obscured IN the mystery which en-
velcises It's every detail, passed through
an ordeal to-day as severe as any his
client has been called to face, and the
crisis came when he was held under ST.
500 bail to answer a charge Of suborna-
ton Of perjury.
Briefly told, the details Of the charge
are these: The trial for the Pietzel muir
uer was not two days old when Shoe
maker approached n private detective
named John Schweichler and asked him
TO procure a woman who lived around
Twelfth and thirteenth street and Gallo
Will or Vince, who would swear to GER
tain facts In connection with the finding
or Pietzels body. Schwechlcr assented.
but instead of straightway getting the
woman, he told the story to Detective
Geyer, who, for the commonwealth,
brought to light the evidences Of
Holmes murder of the children. Geyer
submitted 1t to District Attorney Ora
ham and a most skillful trap was pre-
pared. a trap which has brought about
the ruin OF the opposing attorney.
Under instructions Geyer went to Mrs
Margaret Reah, matron of the Fourth
district police station, and she, under the
tame OF Blanche A. Hannigan, was TAX
IN to Shoemaker by Schweichler. Mean
time, Shoemaker had prepared an afii-
1avit, stating that the deponent had
known Pletzel, and to her he had ex-
pressed his intention of committing sui
eide. Mrs. Hannigan readily signed and
swore to this and Shoemaker gave her
two $40 bills for so doing. On each bill
she marked the initials "B. A. H." and
today she exhibited them in court
Shoemaker walked into the trap blind
folded. When he read the affidavit to
the court he declared that Its contents
had been dictated TO him by the woman.
A moment afterwards irrefutable testi-
mony was produced showing that he
had himself made up the affidavit and
dictated to a stenographer before he had
even asked Schweichler TO procure Il
woman to sign it, and that he had not
so much rs read or explained its purport
to Mrs Hannigan.
Shoemaker was held In $4,000 bail.
which was given.

ture of aluminium from bauxite by

although the present aluminium works
are constructed to produce 5000 pounds
Of pure aluminium n day. the complete
