THE LIZZIE HENDERSON LIZ
BELED.

The steamboat Lizzie Henderson,
which recently left Wilmington with
a load of iron and caught fire and was
sunk in New York and afterwards
raised, has been libeled by the owners
of the tug Du Veaux Powell for ser
vices rendered in extinguishing the fire
on her. The upper deck and deck
houses and the foremast OF the
steamer are burned of, and it will cost
from $1,000 to $4,000 to make her ready
for sea again.

AFRAID OF FELONY.
why James A. Gibson Does Not Want
to Answer Questions.

James Alfred Gibson refused to answer
any questions touching his knowledge of
the $22 900 of his brothers. estate which has
mysteriously disappeared. He said he
feared to lay himself open to prosecution
for felony should he tell what he knows.
He was given until tomorrow TO hunt up
authorities to support his position.
The case came before Judge Coffey yes
terday on citation directing Gibson TO
appear before Judge Coffey and tell what
he knew of the money. Soon after Charles
Gibson died Gibson's mother, now Mrs.
York, left suddenly for Denver, taking
with her, it is charged, the 1000 which
composed the bulk of the estate.
Gibson does not want to tell what he
knows for the reasons given. Unless he
can show good authority to-day he
may be compelled to answer whether he
likes to or not.
A complaint was sworn to charging Mrs.
ork with embeZzlement and an officer
was sent to bring her back.

patch from Detective Crockett from Denver
that the United States Courts had decided

STERNBERG'S LAST HOPE
The Supreme Court Will Not
Allow Him a Re.
hearing.
A Fair Prospect of Six Years in
Prison for the Registrar of
Suffers.

There seems little more for Louis Stern
berg to do but to go to prison. Since soon
after the last election he has been being
tried in the Superior Court and in the
Supreme Court on motions and on ap-
peals and petitions for rehearing, but
with the dismissal of his last appeal his
chances, on one charge at least, seem
ended.
Sternberg was convicted on two charges
of procuring false registration. One was
for registering Dave Newman from the
Baldwin Hotel, when Newman at the time
lived in the suburbs. Sternberg was con-
victed on this charge, and upon appeal
the Supreme Court affirmed the conyic-
tion. An application for rehearing was
asked, and the Supreme Court has replied
by dismissing his appeal. He has no
more to look for in that case but three
years in the State prison.
In the meanwhile another charge against
Sternberg had been running the gauntlet
of Superior and Supreme courts. He had
also registered one A. Gutman, and he
was convicted on that charge also. The
Supreme Court. however, looked with a
more XII ndly eve on that case, and he was
allowed new trial. Judge Wallace had
not told the jurymen what corroboratiye
evidence was, nor had he informed them
that they could lock with suspicion upon
the evidence of an aceomplice. The theory
of the Supreme Court was that the iury,
knowing that Samuel Lust was an ac-
complice, for it was SO instructed, ne
elected to look with suspicion upon his
testimony, and being in ignorance of the
term "corroboratiye, they did understand
what testimony so designated was.
JD..k Il 4
as its predecessor had ended. Sternberg
was once more convicted. He moved for
new trial and the question was taken
under advisement, but delay was not what
Sternberg wanted. He wished to get his
case again before the Supreme Court.
And, again, if he were sentenced for the
Gutman charge before it was determined
whether or not the petition for a rehear-
ing in the case would be granted the SEN
tence passed would have to take effect i'm
mediately, and then if the petition failed
the two sentences would have to run to-
gether and the defendant would make lust
three years on the deal. Judge Wallace.
however, refused to pass upon the motion
for new trial, and without saying any,
thing definite in the matter he has put it
over and over until now the Supreme
Court has rendered its decision.
Sternberg will come up for sentence to-
morrow, and then his motion for a new
trial will probably be denied and he will
be sentenced, the sentence to begin upon
the completion of the one affirmed by the
Supreme Court.

SLEEPS IN HIS OFFICE.
One of DR.. Preston'S Methods of
Reducing His Ex.
penSeS.
His Wife Says She Is Starving and
He Says He Cannot Give Her
the Alimony Ordered.

The matrimonial row between the Pres
tons took on definite shape yesterday, for
from legal papers and the filing OF motions
and petitions, the principals came down
to verbal charges and caustic remarks.
1t is only two months since DR.. Walton
Preston was ordered by Judge Seawell to
pay his wife $50 month alimony. Be-
tween that time and this he has paid her
only $25. and for some weeks he has been
in imminent peril of going to jail for not
paying more. He was discharged from
custody yesterday, however, after he had
shown that his interest in this worlds
goods was small and very precarious.
The case came up yesterday on an order
to show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt of court for not paying
alimony to the limit set. Mrs. Marie
Preston was first on the stand. She said
she and her children were starving, or at
least they would be starving only they
had been living on the bounty of the
charitable institutions of the City. She
had received but very little help from her
recreant husband, she said, and she
wanted him to pay up to date or let the
grip of the law try to wrest it from him.
DIR. Preston then mounted the throne OF
truth and veracitv, and before he had been
there two minutes he and Mr.. Heyneman,
counsel for Mrs. Preston, were paying
negative compliments to each other at
such rate that the court had to interfere.
Preston produced a book of receipts show
ing that his monthly income amounted to
about $240, and he then produced state
ment of bills payable showing that his ex-
penses amounted to the same sum, baving
nothing in the way of alimony for any one.
Heyneman intlmated that the figures
were not what they seemed, and the wit
ness became angry. Preston was asked if
he had not deposited his money with
people who would keep it until the suit
was over and who would then return it.
The witness Indignantly denied that such
was the case. Then he swore that he had
sixty patients, thirty of whom were pay
ing patients and the remainder were not.
He was then asked if he had his shoes
polished, and he answered that he black
ened his shoes himself and hoped counsel
did the same. He said further that he
averaged about two meals day. Some
times he got one and sometimes he had
three good ones, but he averaged about
two meals a day. He swore. too, that his
Office rent was $35 month, and that he
slept in his office to save room rent.
There were more tales of poverty and
starvation, and finally Judge Seawell dis
missed the order to show cause and set the
trial of the divorce case, which is still
pending, for tomorrow. 1t will not be
tried, however, for neither side is ready,
but it will come to trial within short
tiu e,
