FLAGLER SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Renewed Interested serious Charge
Regarding the Verdict.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., August g.
General and Mrs. Flagler, the parents of
Miss Elizabeth Flagler. who shot and
killed Ernest Green last week returned
home this afternoon. General Flagler
did not report at the Navy Department,
as he Is still on leave, and his move
ments are not certainly known. 1t is
supposed that he will take his daughter
away with him for a little trip.
Renewed interest In the shooting affair
was aroused this afternoon by the pub
lcation OF card from George NJ. J. Dor
sey. a member Of the Coroners jury,
charging that the verdict agreed upon
was changed at the suggestion Of coun-
sci for Miss Flagler, after it had been
signed aad given 20 the Coroner.
Mr. Dorsey says: when the Jury was
ready to announce its verdict. that YER
dict was concluded with the sentence,
we do think that the shots were
fired carelessly and indifferently.' ! be-
lieved that the wording was sufficient to
carry the case 10 the grand jury. Other
WISE | should not have signed IT, .
after Coroner Hammett and Assistant
Attorney Jeffries came into the jury
room, Mr.. Ross Perry, counsel for the
defendant entered, In company with Miss
Flagler. and then the crowd came crowd
ing in.
Mr.. Perry heard what was said, and
remarked TO Coroner Hammett that
something should be added to the YER
diet. Mr.. Perry then reached over. and.
picking up the paper. on which the YER
diet was written, and already signed by
all the Jurors, handed II to Hammett, and
suggested that these words be added.
And from the evidence. we cannot hold
the prisoner
Mr.. Hammett then wrote these words
before the signatures, and. turning to
the Jury. said. Gentlemen, Is this salts
factory? Four OF the Jurors nodded
I'm the affirmative, but myself and one
other member of the jury remained ST.
lent and gave no indication OF our opin-
ion"
IT was when on the jury, and stlll am
firmly Of the belief. that Miss Flagler
should be brought before the grand Jury.
and that that body should consider the
evidence and decide whether Miss Flag
Ter should be prosecuted.
.T wish to say further that Coroner
Uammett assured me that all the facts
connected with the case would be brought
70 the attention OF the grand jury. My
intention In holding out was. and still
70 10 disagree with any verdict that
would set Miss Flagler without the juris-

PETERSBURG. VA. August 5.-(Spe-
ciaI)-The Bluebirds were simply not in

a consequence were Chicagoed. The game
was one OF the prettiest that has ever
been witnessed in this city. both clubs
being on their mettle and playing with a
vim and energy which have rarely been
witnessed in this city. Knorr was in the
box for the visitors. and pitched good
ball. only four singles and a home-run
being made off his delivery.
COMPLETELY AT HIS MERCY
Halloweu pitched for the Farmers. and
be had the Bluebirds completely at his
mercy, only three scattering hits being
made of him. Two Of those hits were
made by Berte.
The run-making was commenced In the
third inning. Hallowell the first man,
fled out 10 Bradley; Keefer was hit by
Knorr, and took first and went TO third
on Joanes's single, and scored on Lip
pert's fly to Smith. Turner then put the
bail over the right-field fence for home
run scoring JOanes and himself. In the
fifth the Farmers scored three more runs

INSURANCE. MATTERS UNSETTLED.
The Richmond Agents Have More
Meetings. but No Solution Renched.

The hre-insurance agents OF Richmond
held another meeting yesterday looking
TO bringing about more harmonious
state Of feeling and unity OF action in
the manner of conducting the business
here.
In the conference held about the mid
die of last week an agreement was reach
ed which provided for the continuance
of the present tariff of rates until the
city could be rerated by committee OF
local agents acting In connection with
representatives OF the companies. Most
Of the agents signed this agreement. but
some few held out, and IL is not thought
now that this will be carried into effect.
There was another meeting Saturday
TO talk over the situation. and still an
other yesterday. but so far as could be
learned last night no definite conclusions
have been reached. There will probably
be a further conference to-day, when
progress will be reported.
When the agents held their first gene
raj meeting the only firm not represented
was that of Peasants q Crenshaw. one
of whose members was out Of the city
These gentlemen were invited to attend
the Saturday conference, but instead Of
doing so sent the following letter to the
chairman of the meeting:

auest to be present this morning at a
meeting of the local agents OF the city

to the exorbitant rates, and dn many
cases. unnecessary clauses. Of the asso-
citation, Is one that We and our com
panies have carefully considered before
taking action, and We are not prepared
at this time to make any change in the
conduct Of our business. The rates
which We are receiving since we resigned

and Just, and satisfactory TO the com
panies which We represent Thanking
YOU. however, for your invitation. We re-
main, yours truly.

CoTTLE-ABDUCT!ON CASE.

BUFFALO, n. Y, August 5.-Attorney
Hugh o. Pentecost appeared before Judge
Seaver this morning, and asked that his
client, George Allen. alias John w. Nc
Donald. Emery'e partner in the Cottle
abduction, be admitted TO bail. Judge
Seaver granted the request. and fixed the
amount OF the bond at $1,000
Mr.. Pentecost IL endeavOring to secure
the necessary bondsmen.
Emery the principal in the abduction,
is known to have been in Hamilton. Ont.
on Friday last, having sent some tele-
grams from there, but all efforts OF the
police to capture him have been unsuc-
cessful
Mr. Pentecost this morning mailed to
Governor oates, of Alabama, a clipping
from a local paper. In which Cottle's at
attorney states that the Governor was to
receive $1,000 for securing the pardon of
En- .ry. on the ground that "Mr Oates
could do more at the present time than
anybody else: and, that the attorney
holds this money in trust for the Gov
erhor.'
II this IS true, Mr.. Pentecost adds, he
will advise his client to authorize Cottle
to pay over whatever money is owing TO
Governor oates.
WHAT GOVERNOR OATES SAYS.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, August 5.-Gov-
ernor oates was seen tonight In refer
ence to the Pentecost-Cottle matter He
states that he doesn't know Pentecost,
Emery. or anybody else concerned, except
Cottle.
While a member Of Congress Governor
Oates. at the instance Of some persons
representing themselves as Alabamians,
filed some papers to secure Emery's par
don, on the ground that he was mentally
unsound. For this he made no charge
Last January since he became Governor
he was in Washington. and Cottle came
to him as Emerys attorney and secured
his assistance in preparing a brief, for
which ne received 500. This he regards
as entirely legitimate
The story about his using his influence
with the President for a fee of $4,000,
the Governor says, is absolutely without
foundation.
