TOLD A STRAIGHT STORY
Mrs. Cody on Trial for Blackmail-
ing Jay Gould's Heirs
IN MRS. ANGELES CASE
She Hunted for Proof OF the Millionaire's
Marriage-Mrs Shields swors That
She Witnessed the
Marriage.

Albany. ". Y. Dec. 1.-The third days
trial of Mrs. Margaret Cody for the al
legged blackmailing Of the heirs Of the
Jay Gould estate was devoted almost ex-
clusively to the examination and cross
examination of the defendant. who was
placed on the stand after two unimpor-
tant witnesses were examined this morn
ing and her counsel had opened their side
of the case. Her cross-examination was
not concluded when the court adjourned
this afternoon until tomorrow.
In response to questions from her attor~
ney. Mr.. Dugan. Mrs. Cody told
ton with Mrs. Angelrs case. and her
cross-examination was of a preliminary
nature and did not weaken her story up
to Its corresponding points In the cross
examination.
Mrs. Cody said that her first attention
was called to the case by an interview in
the Rocky Mountain News OF Denver. in
December. 1894. with Mr.. Pierce. In which
the latter was quoted as saying that his
wife, Mrs. Angels daughter. was the
daughter of the late Jay Gould. who had
deserted his first wife. She had on sew
eral occasions been employed to look up
relationships. family trees and the like.
and when she saw this item In the paper
she began a correspondence with Mrs
Pierce concerning the matter. and eight
months later visited Mrs. Angel at
Rouse's Point. aud after talking the mat
ter over with her, she agreed to try and
establish the proof of relationship Of the
latter to Jay Gould.
The matter was then advertised I'm the
papers. and later Mr.. Speer called on
her and asked her II she would come to
Albany to see his cousin. william Nc
Murtrie Speer. McMurtrie speer called In
person the next day and later ne called
with Amasa Parker. sr.. OF this city. and
they entered into n contract to act as at
torneys for Mrs. Cody. She was to do the
work to secure the proofs of the marriage.
She then told of her hunt for this proof
and several letters were read by her
counsel from different persons who
riage. The afYidavit Of Mary Ann Shields
OF chsmplain was read. In which the de-
ponent swore that In April 1884, she saw
Rev. Mr.. Lawton marry Jay Gould to
Mrs. Angel.
Shortly after this she was not pleased
with the inactivity of the firm. severed her
connection with them and employed an
other law nrm of this city.
In explaining the letters on which she
was indicted for blackmaii. she said that
she had no intention Of blackmaiIing the
Gould heirs. and that she wrote the let
ters In the interest of her clients. and not
herself.
The case will probably be presented to
the jury late tomorrow.

Provincetown. Mass. Dec. 1.-Another
day has passed, and the mystery of
the steamer Portland has not been
given up by the sea. 1t was day of
constant watching o Z more than 30
miles OF coast line. and the sea grudg-
ingly held its victims. yielding only
five. Twenty-Five bodies have been re-
and crew list. the exact number Of
which IL still unknown. The number
OF people who went to their death on
the Portland will never be known. but
almost hourly persons are reported
missing from different places in New
England, until now 1t seems possible
that the number was over $50. OF the
bodies recovered hereabouts. 13 have
been identified and eight remain to be
named.
The Identified are: Z. Dudley Free

One of the FIVE bodies recovered to-
day was found at Nauset. some 25 miles
from the place near which Ii is believed
the wreck occurred: another came
ashore at Orleans. some four or five
miles further south. and three at Chat

Of the bodies which will be found here
have already come ashore.
The rest. IL Is believed by the expert
enced. have been carried far south and
lost in Nantucket sound or scattered
so widely that there IL little hope that
they will ever be recovered. Moreover
the belief that many bodies are still
within the hull OF the steamer seems TO
be growing. This theory n held by so
many persons that II II likely that tugs

SECRET EXAMINATION
In Cases of Court Martial Abolished by
the Chamber Of Deputies.

In Cases of Court Martial Abolished by
the Chamber Of Deputies.
Paris. Dec. 1.-The senate this after
noon adopted the motion OF NJ. Con-
stans placing court-martial under the
operation Of the law of 1897. which
abolished the secret examination of
accused persons prior to trial. An
amendment proposing TO retain secret
examination in cases involving national
danger was opposed by the minister for
war, NJ. DE Freycinet. and rejected.
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau demanded ur-
gency for a proposal to empower the
court of cessation to order the stay of
prosecution calculated to hamper a re-
vision case. One hundred and thirteen
voted for and one hundred and thirteen
against the motion for urgency. which
was therefore lost. The tie voting re-
suited in the measure being referred to
a special committee. so that IL cannot
be passed soon enough to apply to ,ne
Picquart case.
Legal opinion leans to the view that
NJ. Dupuy. the premier. was mistaken
yesterday in declaring that the court
of cessation had power to delay the
Picauart court-martfal. and II was on
the theory that the premier had erred
that NJ. waldeck- Rousseau introduced
his bill.
The conversion OF NJ. Herve. editor of
FL Sol.el. the royalist orgsn. to the Pic
quart cause, to-day caused a great
sensation.

Ihe Necessity OF Maintaining It Has
Been Proved.
Washington. Dec. 1.-Lieut. w. III.
Southeriand. in charge of matters per-
tanning to the naval militia. has made
q report to the assistant secretary OF
the navy upon the naval militia during
the war. The report. after renumera-
ton of the force furnished by the dis-
ferent states, says:
THE experience Of this short war has
clearly demonstrated the imperative
necessity for the maintenance of a ma
val reserve. In the organization II
which too much importance must not
be placed upon the merchant marine
alone. This experience has shown that
a considerable part OF the merchant
marine Will be drawn in the service Of
the army In TRANSPORT service which.
OF course. materially reduces the class
from which the navy would hope to get
its enlisted men.
Although these organizations. many
OF whose members were recruited out
side the seafaring class. failed to fully
meet the requirements In the case,
they were all upon which the general
government had to draw at the begin
ming OF the war. The navy department
was hampered In its efforts at rapid
mobilization by it's lack OF federal jur-
isdiction over these organizations, but
In the end succeeded in obtaining a
force of over 1000 officers and men,"
In conclusion Lieutenant Sutherland
states:
Congress should provide that all
laws which apply TO officers. petty ON
GERS and enlisted men of the regular
navy. should also apply to the ofYicers.
petty officers and men of the United
States naval reserves during the time
that they are taking the annual course
Of instruction and drill prescribed by
the secretary Of the navy.
1T win be advisable to restrict the
general enrolment the first year to
limit which will come well within the
appropriation. II is considered that
a continuous appropriation of 500. 900
will be sufYicient TO provide for a force
of naval reserves to aggregate 1000
men at the end Of three years."
