another Sensation In the Holmes Case-Hia
Attorney Charged with Subornatlon of
Perjury.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19.-The evil
spirit that presides oyer the destinies
of Ii. III. Holmes, king of murderers,
and eventually destroys all who ally
themselves with him. found another
victim Yesterday. The first swift turn
this extraordinary case took was on
the first day of the recent trial, when
the arch criminal dismissed his law
yers and the prisoner at the bar" be-
came consul for the defense. Yester-
day the tables were turned, and senior
counsel for the defense became pris-
oner at the bar.
William S. Shoemaker, the young at
torney whose first association with the
case is obscured in the mystery which
envelops its every detail, passed through
an ordeal as severe as any his client
has been called to face and the crisis
came when he was held under $1,000
bail to answer a charge of suborna-
ton of perjury.
This means that the manufactured
evidence tends to prove that Ben jamin
Pietzel, for whose murder Holmes
was convicted two weeks ago, COM
mitteo suicide, and that he, Shoe
maker, paid n woman $50 to sign and
swear to this. But the commonwealth
had supplied the woman, although
Shoemaker was ignorant of this, and
after he had produced this 'after-dis-
covered evidence" and read it with
great impressiveness to the court, he
asked that the argument on the mo-
tion for new trial be postponed to
give him and his associate counsel,
Samuel p. Rotan, time to run out this
and other clews recently obtained.
Then it was that District Attorney
Graham arose and exposed the plot.
His declaration came like thun-
derbolt The court stared in wide
eyed amazement; the spectators
turned in their chairs and gasped
the accused lawyer sank back in his
seat, livid and tremulous, while his in
nocent associate glared at him with
unveiled horror, but the prisoner in the
dock rested his cold blue eyes on the
shrinking figure of his legal represen-
tatives and smiled with scorn.
Briefly stated, Shoemaker had pro-
cured an affidavit from the woman
paying her $50. The prosecution had
been advised of the fact and made the
exposure. The bribed witness took the
stand and testified to the fact and the
court held Shoemaker in 81, 500 bonds
for Information of perjury.

Not long ago a consul in one of the

trust to his personal influence in New

insisted on opening the coffin at the

in an unusual case was rendered yes

court. Matt Mes Sherry was drowned
last summer. He boarded at the Cen
