CONSPIRACY GAS S TO END
The Government Evidently Has Failed
in the Latest Trial.

The Government Evidently Has Failed
in the Latest Trial.
Chicago, Feb. 4.-Unexpectedly the
counsel in the government conspiracy
cases announced that they had sub
mitted all the evidence in the conspir-
acy cases before Judge Grosscup. The
jury was requested to retire and counsel
for the defense asked for the dismissal
of the defendants. Mr.. Darrow asked
for the peremptory discharge of Frank
Dyer. Dennis Larkin, James Mcdonald
and John Burke, not one of whom had
been named as taking part in a single
overt act. He asked for the discharge
of John J. Hannahan, against whom, he
said, the government had failed to
prove an overt act. He then argued for
the discharge of the members of the
board of directors. Not a single act set
forth in the Indictment, he claimed. had
been proven against them. The court
said he would take the motions under
advisement and make his decisions in
the morning, instructing the marshal
not to bring the jury into the court
room until after he had disposed of the
motions The failure to secure in time
all the witnesses for whom subpoenaes
were issued on Saturday night was the
cause of the sudden close of the gov
ernments side of the trial

SUGAR TRUST WITNESS CASES.
United States Supreme Court Refuses TO
Stop Them.

Washington. Feb. 4.-The supreme
court of the United States today denied
the application of Elveston r. Chapman,
the recalcitrant witness in the senate
sugar trust investigation last summer,
for a writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that it was not competent for
the supreme court to interfere in the
matter until after the case should be
finely disposed of by the district courts.
Chief Justice Fuller, who delivered the
decision, says if the final decision should
be against him, it would be competent
for Chapman to apply for a writ of
error to the United States court. and, in
case it could not be granted. to apply for
habeas corpus, but he thought the ends
of justice would be better subserved If
there be no interference at this time.
Chief Justice Fuller said the court had
been unable to see that Chapman's case
presented any exceptional circumstan-
ces, as set up in his petition. The appli-
cation for a writ of habeas corpus was
also denied in the case of j. Schriever
on the grounds, the court remarking,
that it was essentially similar to Chap
mans case. Justice Field dissented.

Rev. A. ". Rudisi1I Tells of His Experience
in the Orient.
There was large attendance at Foundry
NJ. E. Church, corner of Fourteenth and G
streets, last night to hear the lecture of Rev.
A. ". Rudisill on foreign missionary work,
and more especially the work OF the Woman s
Foreign Missionary Society in and around
Madras, India.
Dr. RudisilI has been engaged in foreign
missionary work for the past ten years, and
he assures his hearers that at no previous
time has it progressed so favorably and with
such good results as within the last few
years. AS an example OF the ungodly spirit
against which the missionary society in India
has to contend, he relates the story of the
conversion of the East India Companys sol
diers, the boast of whose colonel it was that
not one of them believed in God.
Missionary Hebi, better knows there as
"Crazy Father Hebi,n called on the officers
repeatedly, but just as often was roughly
repulsed. After persistent efforts, however
Father Hebi obtained q hearing which re-
suited finally in the conversion OF the whole
regiment. DR.. RudisiD also related Several
stories of the conversion of the Indians
which was very interesting.
DR.. Rudisill gave very encouraging ac-
count OF the establishment OF the many new
schools, in which work Miss Grace Stephens
is taking very active interest. After the
lecture a collection was made for the purpose
OF purchasing q life membership in the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society for the
benefit OF Miss Stephens.
