In the Court of General Sessions to-day
counsel for Sampson argued a demurrer TO

asked SIMPSONS release on the ground

MURDERER RESPITED.
Dynamo Burned Out and William
Hass Could Not BE EIectfOcuted.

COLUMBUS. o., April 7.-Although Gov
ernor Bushnell refused this afternoon to
commute the sentence of William Haas. the
Cincinnati rapist and murderer, the elec-
trocution will not take place Thursday
morning. At $3.50 this afternoon, while a
final test of the electrical machinery at the
penitentiary was being made. the dynamo
burned out. The machinery has been tested
five times previously and the dynamo had
carried 1.500 TO 1900 volts readily. The final
test was just being finished when the ac-
cident occurred and the attendant in the
electrocution room stated the current then
registered only 500 volts, although it had
registered as high as 1,S00 volts during the
test. AS no one was i'm the dynamo room
at the time of the accident except the pris-
oners detailed 10 take care of the machin-
cry. some of the officials suspected the dyn-
amo had been tampered with, but the pris-
oners Indignantly denied the imputation
Harry Garfield, the electrician. after an in
spection, gave it as his opinion that the
burning out of the dynamo was due 10 the
collection of copper dust on the interior of
the machine. He thought it possible TO re-
pair the dynamo so that the electrocution
could take place, but the probability of
another accident induced the board of man-
ayers to question the advisability of pro-
ceeding with the electrocution. If the elec-
trocution should fail or there should be
any scene they would be condemned by the
public.
Conference was accordingly sought with
Governor Bushnell and il was decided to
grant the condemned man a respite until
the dynamo could be repaired and tested.
Contrary to previous custom. the death
warrant had been read to Haas during the
afternoon. He was found playing checkers
with the other annex inmates. and when the
warrant had been read. resumed the game
as though there had been only an ordinary
interruption. Haas, who Is only nineteen
years old. maintained his indifference dur
ing the afternoon and evening and he was
not notified of the respite until late tonight.
Haas was respited until April u. the date
for the electrocution of William Wiley, the
Cincinnati wife murderer.

men, teachers and women in every class OF

city. The postoffice authorities have opened
mail matter which arrived Monday for the
company. 1t contained remittances amount

will be returned. Among the reputable
firms which acted for the E. s. Dean Com
pany were Theodore w. Myers * Co. and
Lindborn Co., on the Stock Exchange;
l.. A. Prince. on the Consolidated. and Bar
rett & CO., in Chicago. Edward II. Myers,
of Theodore w. Myers x Co., said to-day
that his transactions with the company
were simply those of broker. Others
spoke in the same strain.
District Attorney Olcott said to-day that
ure before the grand jury. If any one had
a complaint to make, he said. the proper
procedure was to go to a Police Court.
Runs were in progress to-day the Wall
street speculative concerns whose names
have been in various ways linked with the
T.. s. Dean Company. which was closed up
by the sheriff on Saturday last. The runs
were also reported to be affecting. more or
less, the bucket shop interests. The devel-
opments of the Dean collapse have given
scare to the patrons of such places.

asked the direct question whether or not
he was To go TO Turkey. He replied that he
had supposed the declination of the Sultan

Congress was an unusual proceeding. only
warranted by great emergencies, and he
was not advised what view the President
