"The stockholders of the First National
Bank have lost their property and | say
to you that Ezekiel T. Cooper did aid
and abet William N. Boggs in defraud-
ing these stockholders out Of their prop
erty and the bank out OF money.
'The only doubt that now exists as to
this mans guilt, was his previous good
character as has been testified to by men
holding high positions of honor ard
trust in this State.
"This however does not make him
less guilty. =.
"He was dealing wi h a gambler in
faro, poker and horse racing, and both
after defrauding the bank, lost their
money in the same way, namely: deal
ing and gambling on margins on stock
The defendant practiced at this bar for
nearly fifteen years, where he was
honored and respected, but even this
has nothing to do with the case. Do
you believe him when he says that he
knew nothing of the looting Of the bank
until MAY of 1897. When he himself
was drawing money for checks and
sending kilograms to Boggs under the
latters assumed name of W. Johnson
"Boggs says he told Cooper where he
was getting the money three days aftee
he had cashed Cooper's first check and
what interest now would Boggs have in
perjuring himself on the witness
stand?
'No, no, my friends, Boggs, William
N. Boggs, was deeply in it before he and
Cooper went into it together. unfortn-
nately for Cooper, after the first transac-
ton he did not have the moral courage
to call halt. Instead he goes in deeper
and with the result of further diminish
ing the banks funds. Boggs gave up all
hope on February 5, 1897, when he
entered all the checks he had withheld
in these books.
Cooper, however, continued his
operations with the results of securing
one or two additional amounts which
followed in the same path as the rest.
"And now, gentlemen, l thank you
for your attention and hoIe that you will
render verdict of guilty"
Judge Bradford Immediately after the
close Of the district attorneys address
discharged the jury until this afternoon
at 23O O'clock, wien he said he would
charge them on the case. He again told
them to hold no conversation with any
one on the case and said it must be deci-
ded solely upon the evidence submitted

COLLISION.
or Horses Causes Two Of Buffalo Bills
Rough Riders to be Seri-
OusIy Hurt.

Two serious accidents occurred yester-
at Front and Union streets, during the
performance of the Rough Riders of
Buffalo Bills Wild West Show.
The first one happened during the
opening of the show when all the riders
were in the ring. The horse ridden by
one of the Cubans ran into the animal
on which one of the frontier girls was
mounted, and the force of the collision
threw the two riders PROSTATE on the
ground. The Cuban lay stunned and
bleeding while the girl not being
able to free her foot from
the stirrup was dragged across the arena
about fifty feet, where the horse was fin
ally caught and the girls foot extricated.
She had to be carried to the dressing
room unconscious and terribly bruised.
The Cuban was also assisted to the dress
ing tent in an unconscious state.
In the evening an Arab was seriously
hurt by horse falling on him. 1t was
thought that his leg was broken.

MAHER KNOCKED OUT
Joe Goddard Does the Trick With a
Right Hand Swing on the Jaw.


Special to THE SUN,
PHILADELPHIA, May 14.-All the sports
who attended the show tonight at the
Arena pronounced it a dandy from the
word go.
The bouts were all fast and furious,
particularly the wind-up between Joe
Goddard and Peter Maher, which was
short AND sweet. A right hand swing
on the Jaw and Peter knew no more.
Pittsburg certainly must be sad for theil
champion has met another waterloo.
The first bout On the floor was between
Spike Clifford and Young Sinister Cliff.
ford has very good left, which he de.
pends entirely on. Varying a straight jat
with half swing which gently landed
on Sinister's face in the second round.
Sinister began to bleed from the repeat ed
visits of Clifford's left. He showed poor
Judgment and was very wild. He was
the taller and done much better when at
close range, which was very seldom
Clifford had away the best of it.
Next bout was between Billy Smith
and Joe Begley. Begley was clearly out.
classed. He was no match for Smith
and it was only a question of how long
he would last. He fought back in the
third round but after being knocked down
three times the referee stopped them.
He was all but out at the end.
Preliminary number three brought to-
gether Jim Burke and Tim McDermott.
The bout was rather uninteresting in the
early part, then they warmed up to
their work in the third round, and from
that on the bout was good and fast. The
wind-up was particularly hot. Burke
had slightly the best OF the 60.
The semi-windup was between Elwooo
McClosky and Jack Dawson.
The referee was compelled to part then
every time they locked as both kept
punching. Mac landed corker in the
second round and Jimmy went down
He came back strong in the third round,
but was tired at the finish of the round
but came up for the fourth, which was
a regular slugging match; both were
tired when the bell sounded. The
Swede was the most distressed OF the
two and was bleeding tiercely.
Lawson is known as the sturdy Swede.
He is heavier than Mac, but Mac is the
taller
The fifth round was a repetition Of the
fourth, Mac fighting hard for a knock
out. Lawson surprised all by staying
the six rounds.
The windup is now on Peter Maher
and Joe Goddard Goddard was com
PEELED to remove the bandage from his
wrist. There was also some trouble with
Goddard's gloves as they were too small.
After trying several pair, he concluded
to use the first pair he had tried on.
They agreed to box according to the
Queensbury rules, to punch with one
arm free.
First round, sparring, Peter let short
with left, Joe does the same Peter left
on face and repeats. Joe left on head.
Peter misses and brings left up twice on
face. Joe lands a terrific right on jaw
and Peter goes down with a crash. He
is out and is unable to rise for some
little time. He fell fiat on his face.
Time of bout, one minute and fortytwo
seconds.

dropped in at 604 Market street the
other day to see Suchorowsky's superb
painting "Nana." There is no need at
present of going into wo,dy raptures over
the consummate skill of the artist in at
tanning naturalness, for those who have
seen it realize that fact better than it can
be told, and art critics of both hemis.
pheres have testified to the triumph OF
artistic skill and genius of the painter;
But little incident which occurred will
serve to show how deceptive its natural
ness is. After viewing the painting from
various positions and noting how much
even more real the nude figure is from
observing the reflection in the mirror,
her eyes fastened my attention. They
lined, laughed and glistened like real
eyes. | came nearer, and concluding
that such eyes were not within the limits
of the art of the greatest painter, could
only believe one thing-that skilfully
modelled glass eyes had been fixed in the
canvas. The exhibitor, OF course laughed
at this suggestion, and after relating
several stories OF large bets won and lost
on my theory at exhibitions in other
cities, allowed me to place my hands on
the painting and become convinced be-
yond all doubt. They were painted.
