MRS. WALLER PROTESTS,
Does Not Want Her Husband to
Waive Indemnity to Sc
cure Release.
It Would Be an Admission of Weak
ness, She Says, to Make
Compr omiSe.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1S.-A long
interview with Mrs. Waller, wife of the
ex-United States Consul to Madagascar,
now in prison in France, is published in
the Washington Times this afternoon, in
which she fully confirms the United Press
dispatches of the 9th inst. The article
says that Mrs. Waller will protest against
the proposed action of the State Depart
ment in writing to Waller and offering
him immediate release, and continues as
follows:
"Th@action on the part of the State De-
partment is regarded by the friends of the
ex-Consul as a direct temptation to him to
come out OF the French prison and thus
waive all claims to pecuniary indemnity.
They say that with man In the condition
Waller is known to be, sick and not hav-
ing seen his wife's family for so long a
period, it will almost be a miracle if be
does not hail the chance of immediate re-
lief.
Mrs. Waller, it is understood, will pro-
test against the writing of any such letter
by the State Department. She says that
with the trial and tribulations through
which her husband has gone, it would be
a practical admission OF the weakness oi
the case if such compromise as the re-
lease should be made, if it had to be OBJ.

| If the State Department persists in writ
ing the letter to Waller, it is said she will
make most vigorous protest to it, and re-
quested to be allowed to inclose letter
within the official communication OF the

Failure of an Attempt to Show
That Pietzel Contemplated
Suicide.
EXPOSURE OF THE sCEHME
The Murderer VIII Not Be Benefited
and One of His Lawyers Will
Go to Jail.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 1S.-The
argument for a new trial for the convicted
murderer, H. II. Holmes. was heard to-
day in the court OF Oyer and Terminer, and
this remarkable case furnished another
sensation. One of the counsel for the
prisoner produced an affidavit in court al
leging to show that Pietzel, the murdered
man, contemplated suicide.
Amid the silent amazement of the spec
tators and the shocked astonishment OF
the court, District Attorney Graham
proved the affidavit to be false, and showed
that Mr.. Shoemaker, the attorney OF
Holmes, who offered it, had paid the woman
who swore to it $40 for doing so.
Shoemaker was so overcome by this ex-
posure that he could make no explana-
ton and at the conclusion of the argument
he was held in $500 bail by the court to
answer to the charge of subornation of
perjury.
Holmes was in court during the argu-
ment and he has failed perceptibly in
looks since his trial. He has lost the
prison bleach which paled his cheek and
hectic flush has taken its place. His
ewes were bloodshot and the dark rings
around them told of the anxious
days and nights. His manner was
not as cool and unconcerned as
it. was during his trial and ne showed an
almost feverish interest in the proceedings.
AS formerly, however, he retained his self
possession and took notes of the District
Attorneys argument, and prompted his
lawyer during his address. The argument
consumed the entire day and the court re-
served its decision, but from the questions
asked by the Judges it seems certain that
q new trial will be refused.
AS ground for a new trial Shoemaker
presented an affidavit signed with the
name Of Blanche Hannigan. In the atfi-
davit the woman swore that she kept a
cigar-store on Callowhill street. near the
house where Pietzel was killed. She knew
the dead man. He had told her that he
intended to commit suicide.
Then Graham called private detective
named Swetzeler to the stand. Swetzeler
testified that Shoemaker several weeks ago
had written out the affidavit and given him
$50 to pay some one to swear to it.
Detective Geyer was called and testified
that Swetzeler had shown him the affidavit
before it was signed.
Then woman was called who said that
she was the Blanche Hannigan who signed
the affidavit. She swore that she knew
nothing about the statements of the affi-
davit. Moreover, her name instead OF
Hannlgan was Rhea. She is the matron
OF the Fourth Police district. At the sug-
-gestion OF Detective Geyer she lmperson-
ated Blanche Hannigan. Shoemaker gave
her $50 and took her before a notary public,
Io
Rotan, Holmes other attorney, stated to
the court that he knew nothing of the affi-
davit. He began argument for new
: trial. AS he proceeded it became evident
from questions by the court that the ap-
~plication for a new trial would be refused.
Rotan argued for four and half hours.
Then Graham replied, and reviewed the
contentious set up by the defense step by
step, demolishing them in manner abso-
lutely conclusive.

stranger went into Graves hardware-store
this evening, asked for a pistol and when
it was given to him shot himself directly
over the heart. He refused to give his
name, saying it was better not to do so.
He is about feet inches in height,
weighs about 200 pounds, is of light COM
plexion, wears q sandy mustache and has
deep scar under the left eye. He was
dressed in light brown business suit. He
speaks high German, also English.
Before shooting himself the man took a
drink in Bernsott's saloon, emptied his
pockets of papers and threw them into the
stove. A few of the scraps placed together
give the address of j. Nyman & Co., COM
mission merchants, 333 Fell street. and
Jacquemet & Co., florists, 81 Fourth street,
San Francisco.
DR.. Bowie tried hard to get the mans
name, but the stranger was obdurate. The
result of the wound cannot yet be deter
mined.
Mr.. Nyman was seen last night. He
said that man partially answering the
description given in the foregoing dispatch
had worked for him last Thursday, Friday
and Saturday and left on Sunday. he
gave his name as Shamfelt, and said he
had once owned property In this City. Blu:
this man was German and probab bly,
weighed less than 200 pounds, was not the
would-be suicide.
Mr.. Jacquemet knew man at Redwood
City who veryiwell answers the description
Of the suicide, named Delphis Ronaly.
He had worked for the florists for some
time in the early part of the
year leaving their employ on March 10.
Bonaly paid Jacquemet & Co. visit in
September last and said he had a
good position as gardener for a
wealthy family near Redwood. He
seemed then to be we'll pleased
with his circumstances. Mr.. Jacquemet
said he did not know whether Bonaly was
the man and could not positively identity
him, as he did not remember whether OF
not Bonaly had scab under the eye. But
he remembered that Bonaly spoke high
German and French as well as English
and that he came from Alsace-L Lorraine
being native, he thought, of that country.

No human being can come into this

not only of the present but every subse-
quent age of humanity No one can de-
tach himself from this connection.
There is no sequestered spot in the uni
verse, no dark niche along the disk of
nonexistence, to which he can retreat
from his relations to others, where he
can withdraw the influence of his exist
ence upon tho moral destiny of the
world. Everywhere his presence or alb
sence will be felt. Everywhere he will
have companions who will be better or
worse for his influence. 1t is an old say
ing, and one of fearful and fathomless
import, that we are forming characters
for eternity. Forming characters! !!
Whose? Our own or others? Both, and in
that momentous fact lie the peril and
responsibility of our existence. Who is
sufficient for tho thought? Thousands of
