many sad picture of groups Of weary

almost impossible task of catching a
word whereby to bring sense and order

lines which the good lady was in the

knowledge of the books having been
wrongly kept, as Chief Lees said he had,
and that he had frequently shown dissat-
isfaction with Figel on account OF the way
that the bookkeeper neglected his duties.
In statement made by Figel yesterday,
a new feature has been added to the
already thoroughly mixedup situation,
and another character has been promi-
nently placed upon the boards. He charged
that some OF the Omissions" as he called
them. which had been discovered in the
books relative TO the bank account, must
be placed to the credit OF Isaac GelIert,
the assistant bookkeeper of Hoffman,
Rothchild & Co.
Attorney Ach made a move yesterday
looking to his being allowed to appear
before tn e Coroner's jury for the pur-
pose of aiding to bring out all the circum-
stances surrounding the killing of Isaac
Hoffman. The Coroner made formal re.
ply to Ach's request, informing him that
such a course was not contemplated n or
authorized by the law.
AS matters now stand there is little or
no likelihood of there being any arrest
made until after the Coroner's inquest.
This wall probably take place next Tues
day, as Chief Lees stated yesterday that
he expected to have all his evidence in
shape by that time, and the Coroner is
awaiting the pleasure of the head OF the
Police Depar ment.

A CANNON PITCHES BASEBALL.
Sofsmsn Got Onto is Curves and IT De-
Iayed Base Running and Ease
SfenLnn

PRINCETON, N. j., June 1o.-The first
game of baseball ever played in which
cannon were used instead of regular pitch
ers, occurred to-day in the Princeton
Varsity field between the Tiger Inn and
Viking Club teams. The game was the
first practical test of Professor Hinton s
invention.
1t was clearly shown that the gun will
never prove a serious factor in the Ma
tlonal game. The time required to load
and make the necessary electrical join
ings, by means of which a man sets off
the gun, causes a tedious delay of nearly
minute between each delivery. and it
took over two hours to play three innings.
New base-running rules also had to be
made. After the ball had been rammed
into the muzzie baserunner was not per-
mitted to steal, and he could advance a
base only when the ball was hit or the
catcher made an error.
Batsmen could easily determine the
curve by observation OF the FINGERS" at
the muzzle of the cannon, which had TO
be changed for different curves. The
powder smoke tended to blacken the ball
and the cover was frequently torn by the
fingers. so the increased mum Der of balls
required in a regular game would make
no small item of expense.

FIGEL ACCUSES GELLERT.
He Says the Errors We're Made by
the Assistant Book


Theodore Figel said last night at his
temporary residence: Il am not going
to see Mr.. Rothchlld tonight, but will
wait until he sends for me.
"The books cannot be properly nor cor
rectly exported without my assistance.
and if allowed 10 make the necessary
closing entries the alleged discrepancies
and shortages can be quickly cleared
up. am surprised that l
was not allowed TO bring the
books up to date. instead of having them
placed in the hands of those who do not
understand them. Up to April 1 those
books will be found correct, and will agree
with the statements of the wears busi-
ness sent by me TO New York to Mr..
Rothchild. which L hear he has brought
with him.
"Since April 1st there are entries made
at Mr.. Hoffman's direction that may seem
queer, and wrong, but the tru h IN regard
TO them will exoreraie me- Especially in
regard to the $500 item, the receipt for
which | obtained from Mr.. Hoffman.
"Mr. Ach lays great stress on my &C
count at First National Bank showing
such small balance and being closed so
quickly. As matter of fact ] had dur
ing the last month of nv account there
paratively little dealings with the
bank, but Kept my money in a box in the
safe de posit department of the bank. Ny
reason was that the bank did not have
currency enough on hand in bills of large
denomln aiions 10 meet my requirements
and those of Mr.. Hoffman; hence, instead
OF depositing gold, l would exchange it
for currency, there or elsewhere, and place
the same il my box, where 1t would be
handy for me. Mr.. Maxwell, the teller,
knows about this and will corroborate my
statement.
Il used this money to play the races
with. Mr.. Hoffman did not TO my knowl-
edge play :he races, nor did l ever act IS
his asent in disbursing the $500 and
other moneys he drew from the firm.
Il admit that circumstances look bad
Tor me, but whatever course is taken by
Me>srs. Rothchild and Ach l will be
fully prepared TO meet and s:ablish my
innocence. If you meet E. s. Roth
child to- night tell him L say that, if per
mitted, l can explain every apparent DIS
crepancy on The books that may be shown
him.
Another thing in regard to those cash
entries. Mr.. Gellert was responsible tor a
great many omissions, that. in checking
up, l detected, and was necessarily COM
PEELED TO enter them on dates subsequent
TO their actual payment.
"It is untrue, except in one particular,
that l owed money 10 any of the en-
ployes of the stores-on the contrary, l
was constantly loaning money TO them"
