HIS Mistress aud Her Son.

Wichita, KAN, Nov. 10.--NIonday

Holmes As<orney May Bs Dlsbarred fos
Perjury.

Perjury.
Philadelphia. Nov. io.-The argu-
ment for a new trial In the case of the
convicted murderer. Holmes. was heard
Monday morning In fhe criminal court
before Judge Arnold. who tried the
case. Like all the phases of this sim
gular case, this ordinarily routine pro-
cedurc furnished sensation. Holmes
was brought from prison 20 the court.
The sensation was furnished by Mr..
Shoemaker. one OF Holmes counsel.
Mr.. Shoemaker presented an AFFIDAVIT
from witness purporting TO be named
Blanche Hannigan. In the affidavit
the witness sweurs that she kepta cigar
store on Callowhill street. near the
house where Pitxel was killed. and that
she knew the dead man. and that
lac told her that he intended 10 commit
suicide. District Attorney Graham
asked tiint the witness Zoe called 10 tine
stand. and MIR. Shoemaker replied that
he did not know where she was.
Then Mr.. Graham called private de-
tectiye named Swetzler TO the stand.
The detective testified that Shoemaker
weeks ago had written out the affidavit
and given him $50 10 pay some one TO
swear 10 II. Then Detective Geyer was
called, and he testified that Swetzler
had shown him the affidavit before IL
was signed. Then woman was called
10 the stand who said she was the
blanche Haunigan" who signed the af-
fidayit.
She swore that she knew nothing
about the statements In the affidavit.
Her name. instead OF being Hannigan,
was Rhen, and she Is the matron In the
Fourth police district. 1t was at the
suggestion of Detective Gcyer that she
went with Swetzlcr to Shoemaker and
impersonated Blanche Hannigan."
Shoemaker gave her $50 and took her
before notary public and she swore to
the statement.
This astonishing testimony that
seemed TO clearly point to a perjured
affidavit evidently surprised the court.
and when Shoemaker attempted TO
make some confused statement Judge
Thayer suggested TO him that his great
est safety lay in silence. Mr.. Rotan.
Holmes other attorney, stated 10 the
court that he knew nothing of the affi-
dnvit, and then he began the argument
for a new trial.
As Mr.. Rotan proceeded IL became
evident from the questions of the court
that the application for new trial
would be refused.
Mr.. Graham reviewed the contentious
set mp by the defense and, step by step.
~ A a
was absolutely conclusive. shed n flood
of convincing light upon Holmes guilt.
The argument consumed the entire
day, and the court reserved its decision,
but from the questions asked by the
judges il seems certain a new trial will
be refused.
