DROWNED IN THE SURF.
An Indianian Loses His Life While on
His Vacation.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 15.-Two
venturesome bathers were drowned in the
surf here to-day. They were Thomas c.
I.aswell. aged twenty-one years of Prince
ton. Ind, and an unknown man, supposed
TO be an eXcursionist from Philadelphia.
Young Laswell came here this morning
with his friend, j. NJ. Parrot, also from
Princeton on his first visit to the
shore. The young men went into the surf
shortly before noon and Laswell, who
seemed to be unaware of the dangerous
undertow, was soon beyond his depth and
calling for help. The life guards made
brave effort 10 save him, but the surf was
so heavy that they were unable to reach
the drowning nan. Lasweil struggled in the
water for about fifteen minutes in full view
of about 10,O0 people gathered on the pier,
board walk and beach PARROT nearly lost
his own life in attempting to save that of
his friend and was taken from the water
in an exhausted condition. One of the life
guards named Reed was aho overcome in
the water and was rescued in an I'M
conscious condition.
Late in the afternoon the body of Laswell
came ashore. 1t was turned over to
local undertaken who prepared ii for ship
ment to Indiana. When Laswell checked
obtained his bathing suit he laughingly re-
marked to the clerk: Il will leave my adj
dress so that in case | am drowned you
can send my valuableS home" The jest
was tragedy in less than an hour.
The second drowning occurred at about
8 o'clock this afternoon and the body of
the drowned man had not come ashore
up to late hour tonight. The SUR 20 day
was the heaviest of the season owing to
gale which prevailed and between TWEEN
ty-iiVe and thirty persons We're rescued,
many of them women.

WOULDN'T ANSWER QUERIES.
Figel Fears to Incrim nate Himself.
His Memory Very Convenient.

Fieel Fears to Incriminate Himself.
His Memory Very Convenient
When the case against Figel was re-
sumed yesterday Judge Campbell over
ruled the obje ection of General Barnes to
the question which raised such lengthy
debate on Tuesday, and Figel answered
that Hoffman had managed the business
in January, 1896, and in the absence OF
Hoffman the witness had signed checks
for the firm.
The cross-examination continued dur
ing the entire day and Mr.. Ach piled the
witness with question after question as to
what be had done on the day of Hoff-
m ans death. Mr.. FigePs memory was
very convenient, and to most of the quer-
les lis answers were, Il don't remem-
ber," and II don't know" The only
facts to which he could swear positively
were those to which he had testified on
direct examination.
Mr.. Ach asked if there had been letter
from Miner & Co. in the mail of the firm,
on the morning of June l.
An objection to this was overruled, but
on the advice OF General Barnes Figel re-
fused TO answer the question on the
ground that it might have a tendency to
incrimlnate him. For the same reason
he refused 10 say wheeler he had opened
such letter or whether he had seen Mr..
Josephs on that dav. The Miner letter is
one from which FIgel is charged with
having taken check which he mbez
zled. In regard to his conversation with
Hoffman a about 6:15 Figel could tell
very little. He knew The talk was about
the profits OF the New York branch of the
firm, but could not give definitely the
words either had used. He swore posi-
lively hat Mr.. Hoffman and he had been
in Hoffman, room at that time and that
they had not been in the conversation
room near the telephone door.
To Chief Lees On June Figel said that
this conversation had taken place IN the
conversation-room. Mr.. Ach read that
portion of the statement 10 the witness
and asked him if he had said it. Fieel
replied that he didn't remember OF max
ing that statement, and il he die it was
slip of the tongue, as he was not near The
telephone room

: Bowers swore that nothing Of the kind
took place.
1t was also said by Bowers, according to
Boone, that if the episode OF The mutilated
model ever became known to The oppo-
nents of Bowers his patent would be de-
feated.
The last question that was asked of
Boone on Tuesday was as to what he
meant by his statement in letter that
the verdict in the case of Bowers against
Won Schmidt had been obtained by fraud
ulent means. His answer this morning
was that the fraudulent means was the
concealinent by Mr.. Bowers OF the ep S)de
OF the incomplete model.
This opened the gates for Mr.. Thornton.
He read copious extracts from Mr.. Boone's 8
testimony in the case of Bowers W.. Won
Schmidt, in which it appeared that Mr..
Boone had not informed the court of the
episode of the broken model.
Then Mr.. Thornton charged upon him
and asked:
That model was put into your hands when
you were on the stand in that case and you
knew that Your client had committed felony
and still you swore that the model was in the
same condition as it was when first presen ted? !?
Boone-1 swore just as IS stated in the tran
script from which you have just read. didu't
answer the question. He asked me whether
the model WAS i'll exactly ;he same conOltlon
and didn't answer the question, II Mr. Del
mas had pressed the question and asked me If
the cdel was in the same condition as it was
in 1869 or 1870 would have told him about
It, but didn't consider il my duty as witness
to volunteer any testimony IN that regard.
Mr.. Boone, in answer to other ques-
lions. swore that in April Of this year ne
had asked Mr.. Bowers TO indorse note
for $1,000 and that Mr.. Bowers had re-
fused TO comply with that request. Boone
ad mitted il might have been a week after
that time that he had a talk with Samuel
H. Saleno, in which Boone was alleged to
have made threats against Bowers inter-
ests in the patent cases. The witness said,
further, that the piece of the model which
had dropped out was the inner cylinder
and that that cylinder was necessary
part of the model.
Henry C. McPlke, counsel for Boone.
put Mr.. Bowers on the stand, and tried to
make him swear that he was Oh terms OF
intimacy with Mr. Pond. who was exam
iner OF patents at Washington and would
be presumed to be more or less under the
influence of Bowers, but the attempt was
a failure and Judge Morrow remarked
that Mr. Pike was on a fishing expedition,
and that be would better pack up his
hooks and ine and take rest.
Then Bowers swore point blank that the
statement of Boone regarding the broken
IN odel was absolutely false.
Lawyer Miller, for Bowers, testified that
the inner cylinder was not necessary
part of the model, and that the model
never had and never had been designed
for an inner cylinder.
Judge Morrow took the case under ad.
visement. remarking that he would de-
eide it in accordance with the broad prin-
ciple OF The duty of an attorney toward his
client.

Baroness Won Turkheim
Formally Demands to
Be Arrested.
Warrants Issued Against Her
More Than Six Months Ago
Not Yet Served.
Attorney Delmas Makes Successful
Flank Movement and Escapes
Her Vigilance.

Baroness vor Turkneim put on her war
paint again yesterday morning and sal
lied forLh in search of her enemy, Attor-
ney d. Nj. Delmas.
She caused a ripple of excitement by
appearing in the City Hall accom- panied
by her attorney, w. II. Hutton. They
went into Judge Conlan's court and the
Baroness surprised the Judge by demand
ing that she be taken into custody on the
two warrants issued in March last on the
com plant of Louis Levy, clerk in Del
mas office.
The warrants charged her with mali
cious mischief on the memorable occa-
sion when she laid siege to Delmas' office
for number of hours in the determine
tion to see him, and be ing baked In her
desire she destroyed busts OF Demos
themes, Cicero and Napoleon, and tore up
several pictures on the walls and num-
ber OF letters and other papers.
tine warrants are not here" said the
Judge, "and know nothing about them.
[ would advise you to see Chief Lees, as he
probably has the warrants IN his posses
sion."
This man Kowalsky" said the Baron
ess us holding these warrants over nv
head to intimidate me- and insist on my
rights as q citizen that they be serv upon
me so that l can get The cases disposed OF.
The Baroness and her attorney called
upon Chief Lees and he promised to look
into the matter, although expressing the
opinion that the warrants were not II the
possession of the police.
| In the afternoon the Baroness returned
| TO the hall and made her appearance in
| the corridor outside Judge Slack's court
room, where Delmas was DELIVERING his
argum ent IN the Fair will case.
! In view of the demonstration of tho
| PREVIOUS afternoon at Sixth and Jessie
| Streets published exclusively in The CALL,
there was a feeling OF CONSERVATION among
Delmas' friends when it got whispered
| around that his tall Nemesis was waiting
| for him IL the corridor.
| The portly Colonel kowalsky left the
| courtroom, and as he passed the Baroness
| she threw an insulting remark at him and
| followed him along the corridor.
| The colonel went to police headquarters
| and asked 10 see the Chief, who happened
to be out. He was ushered into Captain
| Bohens presence and demanded as citl-
! zen protection from the Baroness.
| Tie captain sent Policeman Wallace
| with the colonel TO see that he was prop
erIy protected, but when they reached
| Judge SIacks courtroom the Baroness
! had disappeared, having been induced to
leave by, it was sald, Martin Kelly's friends.
| Fearing that she might be lurking some
where outside the City Hall hack was
| called into reputation, and when court
adjourned Delmas, protected by two de.
| tectives and Attorney Ruef left the
| courtroom and went downstairs to the
| basement TO the waiting hack.
Fortunately for the peace of the COM
munitv, the tall Baroness was not in
sight, much to the disappoin tment OF q
crowd that had gathered in the expecta-
ton of scene.
