PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 24.-The
trial of Actor James B. Gentry for the
murder of Margaret Winifred Drys-
dale, known on the stage as 'Madge
Yorke," on February II. 1895, was con-
tinued today before Judges Yerkes in
the court of quarter sessions.
Charles w Brooke of New York,
who successfully defended Mrs. Flem-
ing, appeared as senior counsel for
Gentry.
Opposed to him was District Attor-
ney Graham.
When court opened the gallery and
body of the room was crowded, nearly
as much interest being taken as in the
famous Holmes trial.
Gentry seemed on the verge of coll
lapse, and his aged mother, who sat
near the prisoner, frequently buried
her face in her hands while District
Attorney Graham outlined the case to
the jury. DR.. Henry Sidebotham was
the first witness called and told in
detail of his autopsy on the body OF
Miss Yorke.
There was a buzz of excitement
when the next witness, Miss Ida
Clarke, the young woman who was in
company with Miss Yorke on the night
of the murder, stepped to the witness
stand. She detailed the story of the
shooting.
Ex-Magistrate Milligan identified the
statement made by Gentry while the
latter was in the German hospital, and
after an objection by Mr.. Brooke.
which was overruled by the court, the
statement was admitted in evidence. In
the statement he admits the killing,
but tells of his horrible condition for
several days previous to the shooting.
Other witnesses testified to minor de-
tails

HAYKEN AGAIN.
NOW AS A sUIToR TO COLLECT HIS
SALARY.
His Alleged Actions in Connection
with the City and County Build
ing Contract Being Aired in Chi
caGo.
Especial to The Herald.)

CHICAGO, Ills, June 24.-The Salt
Lake city Doodle scandal of 1894 relative
to the $4,000 contract for the city and
Carriers court.
The claim of Special Agent Hayken of
the insolvent manufacturing house of A.
H. Andrews & Co., for salary and ex-
penses to the amount of SLIGO, is resisted
by the other creditors on the plea that
his contract with the firm was a bribing
contract.
The specific instance alleged is in the
contract for the furnishing of the joint
city and county building at Salt Lake
city, Utah. For that offense Hayken
had once been tried with the result of a
jury disagreement, and three members of
the firm and the present assignee, are
under Indictment, but saved from prose
cution by Governor Altgelds refusal to
grant extradition.
The secrets of the case are being pried
into in court today. Opposition to the
revelations comes not from Mr.. Hayken,
who took the stand prepared to tell the
whole story, but from the representations
of Assignee Holbrook, who charged the
purpose of the inquiry is to injure their
client, who has an interest in the COM
pany succeeding Andrews & Co., the
benefit of a competing concern. Mr..
Hayllen had a position as special agent
for the Pacific coast, with headquarters
at Denver. In 1894 he entered into a $50,
600 contract with the county and city OF
Salt Lake for furnishing their new public
building. In consideration of this contract
j $4,000 it was alleged was promised and
/ partly paid, to selectmen and county
commissioners of these municipalities
Discovery of this deal led to the arrest

AUSTIN, Texas, June 24.-An en-
dorsement of Bland for president and a
straight silver platform at 16 to l, re-
gardless of the action of any foreign
government, was the sum and sub
stance of todays Democratic silver
convention, which adjourned sine die
this afternoon, after a two days ses-
sion. The interest attendant upon to-
days session, outside of the fight over
the platform, which was precipitated
by some hot wanting to make the
silver issue independent of any other
nation, was the row that resulted over
the effort to- have the delegates
INSTRUCTED FOR BLAND.
for president of the United States The
convention had been in session all day,
and was just on the eve of winding
up it's business, looking to a final adj
journment, when the fight was reopen
ed. Without any previous notice, Judge
Seth Shepard mounted the platform
and began to read a resolution looking
to the instruction of the delegates for
Hon. Richard Bland.
AS he began to read the resolution,
two men bearing a huge picture Of
Bland, mounted on a frame, came
marching down through the center of
the convention hall from the front
door. The very instant the picture
was seen the crowd began yelling. The
deafening charge was continued for
fully five minutes. There was
CONSIDERABLE OPPOSITION
developed against an endorsement
early in the session, the Hon. John P.
Reagan thinking it was unwise, and
others following his lead.
Colonel Lanhan, a prominent silver
leader. thought the state would be do
ing herself proud to instruct for Bland
and wanted 1t done
Congressman Bailey was of the same
opinion. though Senator Chiffon spoke
to the contrary.
After some lengthy discussion an
amendment was offered looking to only
an endorsement of Bland and giving
the Chicago delegation to understand
he was the choice of the Texas people
and that they should govern them
selves accordingly.
Ex-Governor Hogg spoke, saying he
! wanted
STRAIGHTOUT INSTRUCTIONS
or none at ALL that personally he was
for Bland, but he wanted to be left
unhampered. After some further argu-
ment the amendment looking to an
endorsement was adopted, which is
considered by BANDS friends to be
practically an instruction for him, in
asmuch as it is we'll known that all
the delegates are Bland men. James
Dudley chairman of the state execu-
! tive committee, was endorsed by the
convention for a. place on the national
executive committee for the next term.

Pumps in the Leadville Mines Will
Be Kept Going.
DENVER, June 24.-The pumps in
the big mines in Leadville will not
be drawn. This was made known to-
day by Eben Smith, who is one of the
most extensive operators in the camp.
About six weeks ago the Maid and
Henrietta managers, including Messrs.
Smith and Maffat, entered into an
agreement with other mine owners to
the effect that all should share in the
expense of keeping the pumps in the

der to assist the drainage works in
other mines. Since the strike, it has
been feared that these pumps would
be stopped, thus doing vast damage
to the mines filling with water, in
which case thousands of dollars would
have to be spent in resuming work.
Today Mr.. Smith stated that he would
stand by his agreement with the other
operators to keep the pumps going
whether the mines were idle or not.
The reservation was made that this
agreement would be kept up so long
as the others continued their share of
the expense. With reference to the
strike itself, Mr.. Smith declined to
talk

The CrOcker Case.
(SnecfaI to The Herald 4

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 24-The
Croker murder case was continued
in the district court today. Medical ex-
perts testified as to the time death had
elapsed before finding Booths body
and agreed upon a time corresponding
with that fixed by the prosecution.
Thomas Blythe testified to seeing
Croker carrying a bundle from the
barn where the murder was commit
ted, and that Croker was very ner-
vous.
Testimony was taken showing that
Booth and Crocker had frequently
quarreled. The two men were last
seen together at 4 o'clock the after
noon of the day of the murder. 1t was
shown that the clothing that Croker
was accustomed to wear was never
seen after the day of the murder, the
claim Of the prosecution being that it
was destroyed by Croker to prevent
the blood stains upon it from being
used as evidence against him.

A Good Eject.

LEADvILLE, Colo, June 24.-The
authoritative announcement from Den
yer mine managers that the great
pumps in the leading mines here were
not to be pulled. cannot fail to have
a, reaesuring effect upon the comInu-
nifty. 1t indicates that the managers
are not resolved to turn a deaf ear
to reason, and that if our business
men use their influence and that of
their friends properly, there is good
prospect of a. compromise being eff
fected and work resumed. At least this
is the view of those who have dis
cussed the situation tonight. The sit
uation is otherwise unchanged, but all
feel hopeful since they know the pumps
will be kept at work.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June 24.-The
silver men in the Wisconsin Demo-
cratic delegation announce they will
bolt the unit rule imposed upon the
delegates by the state convention when
they vote on the platform in Chicago
They argue that if the national con-
vention does not insist upon the unit
rule they will not be bound by the
action of the state convention, and
they point to the fact that the conven-
ton yesterday refused to respect the
unit rule made by some of the coun-
ties Having set the example they say
the majority cannot object If its ac-
ton receives similar treatment in the
larger convention. The action OF the
silver men will take Wisconsin out of
