Has a Bank Account.

Where George Bauscein, Formerly
of Canton, IL on the Rack-May be
Made to Give His Version of the
Burglary of the DIobe is This City.
1t Is likely that the MahoDing county
grand jury, to be in session Monday, will
be asked TO investigate the actions OF
Charles X. Rumpf, in shis recent failure
Today the attorneys have all gone to New
Castle, where George Bouscein is being
examined. The harder he is pressed the
greater grow the figures of the amount of
money Rumpf says be lost in speculation
At first he placed the sum at e., 900. His
latest Is $1,000. He says he has only
1924 of his own, but that his wife has a
bank account How much It Is he Is un-
able to say. James Shaw, who paid $40, e
600 for the stock Of the Youngstown store
a few days after the failure. said he paid
So 600 in'cash and gave his personal notes
for $4,000 to S. ID. i. jackson, who was
placed In charge Of the store jackson
was placed on the stand, but refused to
tell what he did with the cash or notes he
received from Shaw. There were some
questions Shaw and jackson did not care
to answer, but they were given the alter
native Of answering or going TO Jail, and
chose the former.
WRONG IMPRESSION.
There is an impression abroad that the
Isaac Harter bank of this city was a
heavy loser by the Rumpf failure. Cash
icr Charles Keplinger states that this is
an error All the obligations held by the
bank was a note of 5000, which was amp
ly secured. The banks accounts with the
Globe were always kept with a balance.

Counsel for the creditors and also for CT

to take the deposition OF George Boucsein
to whom Rumpf had sold large
amount Of goods and with whom he had
extensive business transactions. An effort
was made to obtain access TO the books
of BoucseiD, but counsel for the latter
sprung the legal question that under the
law the books were private property and
could not be reached in proceeding
which had been commenced against
another party. Boucsein did not hesitate
to testify as to his business with Rumpf
which was all of legitimate character.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 25.-
The leaders who conducted the silver
conference and formulated the plan for
the big convention at st. Louis on the
I'D OF July claim to have confidential
encouragement from very prominent
Democrats and Republicans. they
say that the name Of those who partic-
ipated openly affords no indications of
the real strength OF the movement.
These Senators and Representatives
who are given the encouragement take
the position that ex-Congressman
Hatch, of Missouri, outlined in con-
ference. They retain conditional 10y
atty TO the old parties, but say that il
the parties do not come out at the Ma
tional Convention for free coinage at l6
TO they viii join the new organiza-
ton and support the silver ticket. The
managers Of the silver party will not
give the names OF those from whom
they have received pledges OF condi-
tional support. II Is known that sew
eral Democratic Senators and Repre-
sentatiycs were strongly inclined to at
tend the conference, but were restrain
ed by the action Of the Democratic sill
yer committee. The word was passed
around that it would be better to take
no open position until the Democratic
National Convention meets and passes
on the financial question.
II is not expected that anything will
be done about candidates for the silver
ticket until after the Republican and
Democratic National Conventions.
Then silver Republican and silver
Democrat viii be selected from among
the most prominent members of the
old parties willing to accept places on
the ticket.

HIS BABE ADOPTED.
Mrs. Brewer Will Care for Dunham's s
Little One.

SAN JOSE, CAL, May 29.-Mrs. NJ. T.
Brewer of San Francisco, sister of Mrs.
Colonel McGlincy, has taken the little
baby OF the murderer to rear. Around
this trust must center profound interest
always. Just now the baby is itself the
center of such interest.
This little bit of humanity, nesting in
its nurses arms. unconscious of the tre-
mendous thing that has happened to it,
offers the one touch of pathos in the awful
story of the Campbells tragedy. When the
neighbors on that Tuesday night. having
summoned courage to make their way into
the desolated house, with uplifted liant erns
passed from one to the other of the cham
bers OF horrors, they saw no living thing.
Wading in blood to the bedside of Mrs.
Durham, the young wife, they lifted the
heap of covers that were piled on the bed,
and there by the dead and ghastIy form of
its mother lay little babe, asleep. They
lifted it up and carried it out, away from
the house Of the slaughter of all who were
near TO 1t. 1t was given into the care of
Mrs. Whipple, a neighbor, end she kept
1T until the arrival of Mrs. Brewer, the
dead mothers aunt, and she will take
charge of and rear it.
Mrs. Brewer was at the funeral to-day,
and will return at once to San Francisco.
Mrs. WhippIe's house has been besieged
| by men and women, attracted to the scene
| of the tragedy and who turned from the
| road TO look upon the mite who survived
| the slaughter.
