ECHO OF THE HOWELL CASE.
Lawyer Merrick, Who Defended the
Women, is SwindIcd.

WellsborO, Pa, Dec. IA great deal
of interest is manifested here over the
trial Of Stephen A. Dutton. in New
York, on the charge of swindling be-
cause of his connection with the mur-
der trial of Mrs. Charlotte Howell, last
year.
Airs. Howell was accused Of poison
ing 2o-year-Old Libbie Knapp. She was
buttons sister and he and two other
brothers came from New York to help
her through the trial. They gave out
information that they were million-
aires. saying that they were extensive
commission merchants and wharf
owners in New York, and they pro-
posed that money should not be stint
ed in their sisters behalf.
George w. Merrick was counsel for
the woman and during the trial labored
necessarily that he was threatened with
collapse. To his indefatigable efforts
was conceded the acquittal of Mrs.
Howell. At the close of the trial the
Dutton brothers gave Mr.. Merrick a
note for $4,000 as return for his SER
vices. This note fell due in three
months. At the end Of that time it
went to protest and to this day Mr..
Merrick has received no money for de-
Tending the woman. Nobody by the
name of Dutton could be found at the
address given by the brothers.

MEDIUM IN A MIDDLE.
Classic BOston's Expose of a Spirit
without Clothes.

Boston, Dec. REV" o. L. Con-
cannon. an alleged naturalization
spirit. was captured in his cabinet yes
terday morning without clothes. a
party of raiders In the audience found
and carried off from the cabinet false
whiskers, robe and wig. The dram
attic scene took place before a crowd in
the First Spiritualist temple, built at
cost of 100000 by Mr.. Aver. a spiri-
tualistic enthusiast. Concannon and
his wife. who were exposed in Okla
homa two years ago. have been giving
seances in the temple for several Sun
days. inviting all sorts of tests. A
party was organized to put them to a
real test yesterday. The judges certi-
fled that Concannon wore nothing when
entering the cabinet but regular male
attire. Soon the curtains parted and
Concannon appeared in long white
robe and white beard and wig. The
medium became bolder and stepped
out. The party of raiders grabbed the
medium and the garments remained in
their hands, leaving the medium naked.
The naked spirit was frightened and
the crowd was tickled. Actor Z. $.
Willard was present and became en-
tangled with the principals because lie
insisted that he saw real flesh on the
astral body. The Concannons denied.
but Mr.. Willard persisted and the
crowd cheered him. This Is the first
time a medium has been exposed in lne
temple.

There were several friends with Will
liams, and after a few angry words
had been hastily passed pistols were
drawn and a general fight ensued. The
pastor. deacons and congregation ran
for safety. Several women nearly
tainted.
Williams shot one man dead and was
himself badly wounded In return. He
was not so badly injured. however. but

passion are now behind us; the people
have registered their will, and all good
citizens should yield cheerful obedi-
ence to their mandate.
1.-The past is beyond recall, but the
future stands n willing handmade to
reward patriotic endeavor. We have
nothing to ask Of the federal govern
ment except equal laws, and perhaps
the perfection of a system Of coast de-
fenses that in case Of sudden war
would enable our citizen soldiers to de-
fend this fair land from invasion and
maintain the national honor. Consid-
ering the gallantry of our brethren,who
in obedience to the call of duty, were
prodigal in deeds of valor in the war
between the state, no one could doubt
that should occasion arise, even more
splendid achievements would adorn the
defense of home and national integrity
by the men of this generation"

WHERE ARE THE ANARCHISTS

4. Mr.. E. Ellery Anderson, one Of
the leading financial lights Of New
York, contributes the following
rabid statment to the New York
Journal:
Considering the platform, it
may be as well that a revolutionlst
like Bryan stands upon it. We
want them with red flags, so that
there will beprovocation for shoot
ing them down."
Where are the anarchists to be
found? Is it IN Wall street or is it
among the struggling producers
and wealth creators of the country?
Should such talk as the above
eminate with a laboring man in New
York, he would be arrested for
anarchy Immediately, but as it
comes from one of the Wall Street
supporters it is all right.
Mr.. Anderson wants the silverits
to get so as they can be shot down
on sight. But we would like to
say to him that whenever the
shooting commences that he and
his class will not last long enough
to know they were at the shoot
ing.
When such sentiments as these
come from the gold bugs it shows
their weakness; they know they
are beaten, and it is such a bitter
pill to swallow that they want to
shoot down the wealth producers
of the country. But silver viii
prevail and if any one gets hurt ii
will be the gold bugs.

want to suggest this truth if
the gold standard is good thing
we aught to declare in favor Of its
retention, not in favor of abandon
ing it, and if the gold standard is
a bad thing, why should we wait
until some other nations are willing
to help us let go? Here is the
line of battle. We care not upon
what issue they force the fight. We
are prepared to meet them on
either issue, one or both. If they
tell us the gold standard Is the
standard of civilization, we reply
that this, the most enlightened Of
all the nations of the earth, has
never declared for the gold stand
ard, and both parties this year are
declaring against it. If the gold
standard is the standard of civil
zation, why, my friends, should we
not have it? So, if they come to
meet us on that we can present
the history of our nation. More
than that, we can tell them this,
that they will search the pages of
history in vain to find a single in
stance in which the common people
of any land ever declared them
selves in favor of the gold stand
ard.

In an interview with a cores
pondent Of the New York World,
William Henry Greenfell, promi-
nent bimetallist of England, says;
"If bimetalism were once started
in the United States, believe that
it would give an enormous impetus
to bimetallic agitation throughout
Europe to get different countries
to Join in bimetallic agreement
with the United States, and | be,
lieve that the agitation would be so
strong that it would be impossible
for the gold ring TO fight against
it.. Most countries are ready for a
return to the bimetallic system.
What is wanted is the electric
shark. the turn of the wheel, the
something which will set the ma
