BUNCOED THE COMMANDER.
Another Victim Added to the List
of Adie Wilson

When Commander Henry II. Lockwood,
United States Navy, retired, read in the
Evening Times, Friday, the story about
old Adie Wilson. the notorious con WON an >"
and her dual life, he at once recognized in
her the swindler who had bunooed him out
OF $50 on November %, last, and yester-
day morning he wentto police headquarters
and reported the case to Inspector Holm.

Gen. Lockwood stated that the woman
came to his house, No. 29OO @ street and
represented herself as Mrs Elizabeth Miller,
OF Falls Church, Va, She told him she
had worked as seamstress for his daugb-
ter in Baltimore during the war, when
Gen. Lockwood commanded all the Federal
military forces there. Also that his son,
who met his death on one of the Arctic
expeditions, had been her friend
Then with tears streaming from her
eyes, the old woman related to the kind
hearted old commander her stock story
about one of her young daughters being be-
trayed by drummer and tie threats of
creditor to expose her to the world
and inform the girls father of her shame
unless She paid him at once the $40 she
owed him.
Mrs. Miller, alias Wilson, with MANY
other aliases, then begged Mr. Lockwood
to let her have the amount Her story
touched his heart and she got the SEQ.
In return the bogus Mrs Miller gave him
a note for the amount payable i'll thirty
days, and stated that she had a. stand
In tile market and would repay him the
sum in two installments of $40 each.
This was the last he heard of her until he

service at Baltimore during tile war. 1t

POLITICS And PATRONAGE
Conference Between Mckinley,
Hanna and Senator Proctor.
Three New Cabinet Possibilities
Are Ex-Governors Long and Dill
lingha IN and Gen. Draper.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 9.-Major Mckinley
had many callers from many parts of the
country today, and conferred with a num-
ber or importa MT Republicans
His most conspicuous visitor was Senator
Redfield Proctor OF Vermont, WHO arrived
this afternoon from washington and left
for the East on late train tonight. Sen
ator Proctor lunched with Ma jor McKin-
ley and Mr. Hanna, Col. NJ T. Herrick
and c. g. Dawes at the Union Club in
this city and then had conference of
several hours duration with the President
elect and Chairman Hanna. Policies, pat
ronage and men were comprehensively
discussed. Special attention was given
to the New England situation
As outcome Of the interview of Sem
ator Proctor with the Preside intellect.
three new Cabinet possibilities have swung
into public view. They are ex-Gov John
ID. Long Of Massachusetts, ex- Gov DiIling-
ham of Vermont and Gen. William F. Dra-
per, one OF tie most active of the Massa.
chusetts Congressman.
EX-Goy. Long and Gen. Draper are we'll
known, and eXGov Dillingham; has a wide
acquaintance in New England. Ex-Goy.
Long served in Congress with Major Nc
hinley and Gen. Draper is one of New
England's successful men of affairs. The
chances are that one OF these men will
be selected for the Cabinet.
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island. who
is talked OF In connection with the Treasury
portfolio, is hardly among the Cabinet
possibilities a present for the reason that
it is thought he could not be spared
from the Senate, as it is expected he will
be charged with the management of the
new tariff bill in that body
Major Mckinley was informed tonight
that the Ohio electoral college would call
on him on Tuesday next. Gen. George
B. Williams, of Washington, was among
Major McKinley's callers today.

SUNDAY NEWSPAPER ED|CT
Commissioner Ross Explains the
Scope of 1t.
NO RESTRICTIVE INTENTION
The A mendment to the Police Regu-
1atiOns Is Intended to Stop the
Boys From Crying Out on the
Streets-He States That the Rule
Is in Force in Other Large Cities.

Commissioner Ross was asked yesterday
to define the scope of the recent order
OF the board for the amendment of the
police regulations to prohibit the crying
of Sunday newspapers on the streets, and
said:
THE amendment is intended to effect
discontnuance OF the custom of calling
out newspapers on the public thorough
fares throughout the city, on the Sabbath
day, and nothing else.
'All other persons who have wares for
sale are prohibited from the employment
of such method of advertising, and it
seems, under the circumstances, to be
proper to impose a similar restriction as
to ne wspapers.
1.-The order is not intended to restrict
the business OF selling Sunday papers,
nor do believe it will 1 believe the ne ws-
boys will sell quite as many papers after
the order goes into operation as they do
now.
They Followed Precedents.
''They may call at residences then and
solicit custom, or ask persons upon the
streets to buy papers, and it seems to me
they will do quite much business by
tions, il not more.
I'm adopting the amendment we followed
the precedent OF other cities. AsI am
informed, the same regulation is in force
in New York, Richmond, Charleston, Sa-
vannah. and other cities of equal import
ance."
The exact wording of the amended regu-
lation is as follows:
Ordered. That section 2 OF article
of the police regulations of the District OF
Columbia be, and the same is hereby
amended so as to read as follows:
Section 2. No person within the Dis
trict OF Columbia shall make any needless
noise or outcry, or any noise or outCry
for the purpose OF advertising wares or
attracting the attention or inviting the
patronage OF any person for any hack or
other vehicle or any business whatsoever
ProSS.ed, however, that newSboyS III the
exercise of their calling may cry their
newspapers between the hours OF 6 O'Clock
a. IN. and O'Clock p. m. on secular DAYS
of the week, and not otherwise. Provided
further, that newSboys may cry at other
necessary hours extra editions of the
local newspapers on extraordinary oc-
casions. Provided, further, that this sec
tion shall not apply to auctioneers''
When 1t Takes Effect.
The change IN this section as ordered by
the Commissioners, and which will take
effect at the expiration of thirty days
from and including December 81, 1896,
consists in the elimination of the ncwsboys'
Sunday privilege by striking out the
words. land between the hours OF z
O'Clock a. m. and40 O'Clock a m on Sun
days, and not otherwise, !" which now ap-
pears in the section as the concluding
sentence of the first proviso. following
the words. secular days OF the week.

A SURPRISE FOR HOWE.
THE PROSECUTION ~ THE THORN
TRIAL REST THEIR CASE.
sfrs. Mack win Not Go ON the stand tn-
less Thorn should Iestify--Ihe case
Goes over Until Monday.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Lawyers Howe
and Moss. who have diligently defended
Martin Thorn, met to-day with a serious
and unlookcd-for obstacle when after
a brief adjournment, District Attorney
Youngs informed the court that the peo-
Die rested their case.
It was generally expected that Mrs.
Mack would be put on the stand to relter-
ate her confession, and the lawyers, VINO
had been assigned to look after Thorns
interests, thought that she would repeat
her statement of two weeks ago.
This may seem very queer move
on the part OF the prosecution said Mr.
Howe. "but l am more than positive that
when we introduce our evidence the jury
will acQuit my client OF the crime with
which he IS charged
MAY NOT TESTIFY.
Later in the afternoon District Attor-
nev Youngs said that he was not pre-
pared to say whether Mrs. Mack, who had
made such a famous scene In the first
trial by her confession. would be pro-
duced or not. The case, as far as the
District Attorneys opinion went, was full
lv proved without the wOman's testimony.
Later on, however. one Of Mr. Houngs
advisers said that in case the defence put
Martin Thorn on the stand, the prosecu-
ton would certainly produce Mrs. Mack
in reDuttaL
The evidence so far adduced to-day by
the prosecution, showed a possible incli-
nation on the defendants part 10 get
rid OF his enemy, Guldonsuppe. Each
was the admirer Of Mrs. Mack, and II was
proved that they had serious row last
March. From current report, Gulden-
suppe had evidently very much the better
OF the argument when II came 10 flsti-
cuffs. Thorn confessed later that he had
discharged a revolver accidentally, but a
few minutes after told another friend
OF his that he shot at Guldensuppe. but
missed his mark All these things were
brought before the jury. and when 70 was
about time TO renew the sensational story
OF Mrs. Mack, after a whispered converse
ton, It was announced that the people
rested IT'S case.
CASE GOES OVER.
Thorn took in the situation at n glance,
and bent forward In earnest conversation
with his lawyers.
Mr.. Howe. for the second time during
tho trials Of his client, appealed 10 the
court for time.
II shall. with your Honor's permission"
said he, try TO get through with my de-
fence on Monday. but IL IL should exceed
that rime am sure can get In all my
