wouldn't bear q severe strain, to say
the least of it, called up THE TIMES by
telephone Wednesday night, and by
Stimulating the voice of Prof. V. Theo.
Ely, perpetratsd e "faks" on the pa

report was naturally one to cause con-
siderable trouble and the anonymous
mIschief-maker-whose name cannot
be learned-doubtless imagines that he
has done something funny.
The following card from Prof Ely is
self explanatory.
Mr.. EDIToR:- The information
given THE TIMES about my engage
ment to Miss Coleman was unautEOr-
lied and untrue. The infamous in
formant will confer a very great fa-
vOr by going to the young lady with
an apology. He is doubtless one of
those "heross (?) in ambush" as men,
toned in The TIMES. Good luck

the construction of my ship Of matri-
monial fortune has never yet been
planned, much less sailed into port.

Savannah, Oct. 21.-The wheat dur

proved very disappointing affair to
holders; up to noon the tendency
of prices seemed upward and
there was very little wheat offered for
sale. The reason for this was con-
flrmation from New York of good
sized export sales yesterday and q
further demand today with a number
of orders slightly below the market
prices.

SWEAT INVESTIGATION.
A Denial That the Judge Was Ever
Drunk While on the Bench.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 15.-The evidence
in the Sweat investigation was con-
cluded this afternoon with a statement
, from the judge himself Congressman
elect William A. Howard appeared as
a witness for Judge Seaborn Rees and
the latter's case will be concluded to-
morrow.
Judge Joel Sweat in his statement
said that he always had admitted
that he was under the influence of
champagne at the bankers banquet on
st. SimonS island, but he denied that
he was drunk at any other time on the
bench. The judge went into the de-
tails of his visit to Indian Spring. and
told of his meeting with Miss Brisley
and Mrs Crosby. He denied that he
had ever made any improper remark
to either.
Mr.. Howard, testifying in the case
of Judge Rees, stated that the Judge
was never drunk on the bench. and he,
as solicitor, had attended nearly all
the courts. Senator Carter asked the
witness if he We're not a drinking man
himself, and the congressman-elect re-
piled hotly.
Chairman Fielder raped sharply
with his gavel and for a minute there
was some excitement, but no collision.
The evidence in the Rees case will be
completed tomorrow. 1t is regarded
as certain that the report will be ad-
verse to an impeachment

A Romantic" Career.

Napa, Cal. Jan. 15.-Murderer Will
lam NJ. Roe was hanged today at lis
a. m. He was nervy to the end and
did not falter on the gallows.
The crime for which Roe was exc
cuted was the murder of Mrs. John
Q. Greenwood, wife of a prominent res
ident of Napa.
On the evening of Feb. g., 1891, Cap
tain Greenwood, while at work in his
yard, was accosted by Roe and a man
named Carl Schmidt. Greenwood was
ordered into the house where he was
bound hand and foot and compelled to
drink from a bottle carried by Roe.
Just then Mrs. Greenwood, who had
been visiting at a neighborS drove into
the yard. She was compelled to drink
of the drug contained in the bottle also.
Captain Greenwood lost consciousness
and Mrs. Greenwood died from the eff
fectS of the poison.
Meantime the murderers had driven
to Napa. Finding Greenwood alive
when they returned, they knocked him
head. Greenwood feigned death and
the men again departed driving away
i'll Mrs. GreenWood'S buggy.
Schmidt was captured two years ago
and is now serving a life sentence at
San Quentin penitentiary.
Roe eluded the officers until last
September when he was arrested at
Los Angeles upon his own confession.
He boasted of having committed a
of murders. including that of
Mrs. Greenwood. He was tried in No
Vember last for the latter crime and
sentenced to be hanged.

VILE FAKING.
HOW ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWS
IS MADE.
Mail Matter of an Ancient Age Re
hashed and Sent Out as a Cable
From Yokohama-A Great
News Service.

New York, Jan. ia rare specimen
of reckless taking was furnished by
the Chicago Associated Press on Mon
day in an alleged cable dispatch from
Yokohama, 81 column in length, four
lines of which were devoted to an
nouncing the arrest and subsequent
confession of Miss Mary Jacob, for
merly governess in the, family of the
late Walter RAYMOND Hallowell Carew
for whose murder his widow is now on
trial in Yokohama. With the exception
of this announcement the entire dis
patch viii doubtless be recognized by
neWSpa per readers, and certainly by
newspaper workers, as a rehaSh of the
mail matter from Yokohama concern
ing the case which has been published
in the American newspapers from time
to time since the death of Carew in
October. Even so, it might have es-
capped further notice except as an ex-
ample of iInpudenee in palming off
warmed-up mail communications for
genuine cable news if the fal1ir had
been content to 'let it go at that" His
delight at seeing his creation in print.
however, made him bolder, and next
day he sent out paragraph, dated
y Yokohama, of course, making the posi-
tive statement that the trial of Mrs
Carew had been brought TO a dra-
matte close by the appearance and con-
fessiOn in court of Miss Jacob that she
was the real murdereSs.'
Even this, too, might have passed
muster, but unfortunately for the ro-
n2ancer of the Chicago Associated
Press, he took a day off on Thursday,
when it appears the office actually did
receive a cable dispatch from Yoko-
hama, which failed to bear out in a
single particular the statements con-
tained in the two ''cable dispatches
previously sent out. The sub" who
was presiding over the imag aginary bu-
-eau in the fakir's absence was not
equal to the emergency. and sent the
dispatch out. but he did not make a
column of it. 1t did not require a
column to inform the clients of the
Associated Press that they
had been imposed upon by the fakir;
hat there was not a word of truth in
he statements contained in the alleged
able dispatches from Yokohama.
Eight lines were sufficient to let the
at out of the bag, into which the fakir
lad put him. Few words were neces-
;ary to tell that Miss Jacob had not
confessed, although an announcement
o that effect had been made public"
)y the fal1ir, and also to state as a
natter of fact that the trial had not |
been brought to a dramatic close" |
