ACCUSES A BANK PRESIDENT.
Cradle Says williams of the Chemical
National Broke Faith and Caused All
the Trouble. ~

Omaha, Neb., Feb. s.-Francis G..
Cradle. promoter. arrived in Omaha
from st. Louis today and Immediately
went to the home of his local repre-
sentative, NJ. Parrote. After repeated
refusals Cradle consented to talk of the
present condition of his various
enterprises. Mr.. Cradle looks as
though he had undergone a severe
mental strain.
Il think the newspapers have mis-
represented me in many things" he
said, although ] do not know that 1t
was Intentional. ! can only say now
that i organized all the companies in
which / was identified upon u logical
basis, and that there is no reason why
they will not ultimately prove paying
Investments.
"The whole trouble was precipitated
by the action of President Williams of
the Chemical National bank of New
York, in demanding the resignation of
Cashier Quinlan. The various COM
panies with which l was connected
were in good condition, although 1t is
true, carried a large Indebtedness, and
they were in no way dissimilar to
thousands Of other projects which are
at the present day backed by large
Eastern capital.
ITO show you that President Will
liams's action was unwarranted. had
a consultation with him a few days
previous to the resignation of Cashier
Quinlan and told him that had al
ready $1s0OO0 on hand with which to
pay the Indebtedness of our companies
to the bank and that with few weeks
time could easily raise the rest Of the
amount. He was aware of the fact
that had paid off note of $50, 900
which had been due the bank upon
former occasion. and he had no right to
doubt my ability or honesty to do so in
the present instance. If President Will
llaps had withheld action In the matter
for a fortnight his bank would have
received every dollar that was due from
the Edgemont companies.
"As additional proof that President
Williams did not act in good faith,
either with Cashier Quinlan or myself.
I will merely state that the little flyer
he speaks of investing In connection
with the Edgemont companies paid him
back in dividends three-fourths of the
capital he placed in them.
In summing up the work of Western
development in which 7 have been en-
gagged during the past seven years, !
find that the original Edgemont Town
site company. capitalized at s175OOO,
has paid back to its stockholders in
dividends nearly three fourths OF the
money invested. This was accom-
plished in the face Of hard times. so It
would appear from this that the So
called schemes must be of some pro-
ducing value.
I'm organizing the various companies
for the development OF the Edgemont
region. I floated the bonds of the Edge
mont Townsite company. the Edge
mont Irrigating company, the Edge
mont Stone company, and the Union
hin Mining and Smelling company.

THE LArTIMER KILLING.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 9.-When court
opened this morning for the trial of
Sheriff Martin and his deputies. Judge
Woodward spoke to the jurors about
receiving letters bearing upon any
point in the trial. He said: IF you
receive any letters with reference to
the trial, whether anonymous OF
signed, 1t Is your duty to hand them
over to the district attorney, and you
must not allow them to make any i'm
preston on your mind"
The first witness called today was
John Yourshekowitsi, one of the Har-
wood strikers. He said that on Septem-
her 0, the strikers held a meeting at
HARDWOOD. and they understood that II
they could get the Lattimer miners to
join them they would win the strike.
They decided not to carry anything
having the semblance Of weapons and
to behave quietly and peaceably. At
West Hazelton, he said, they met the
sheriff and the deputies, who pushed
them around with guns and hit several
of them. One man, and the witness
pointed out Deputy Aplatt, tore down
their flag. At Lattimer, the sheriff
stopped them, hit two men In the front
rank and tried to fire his revolver. 1t
snapped twice and then exploded.
Right away there was a volley of shots
strikers fell. On REORGANIZATION.

norance of the matter. for Assistant
Secretary Day called upon him early
and to the great disappointment of the
large number of visitors who were
patiently waiting in the lobby to Sc
cure access to the Presldentword came
out that he could not be seen, owing
to his great engrossment with official
business, which was taken to mean the
Spanish minister's letter. II WAS after
this conference that MIR. Day made his
statement to a number of newspaper
men. Secretary Sherman assumed n
similar position. though he let 1t be
known that the writing of suca
would constitute a breach of diplomatic
etiquette OF which our government
must take notice.
As no denial of the authenticity of
the publication has yet reached the
state department 1t is believed that at
ter reasonable delay the matter WIN
he brought to the attention of the
Spanish government through Minister
Woodford. presuming that no action
has been taken by the Spanish minister
himself before that time, and n changed
representation Of Spain at Washington
may be expected in due order.
The letter being genuine. there is no
excuse that will be acceptable to our
government.
The rule as laid down In the Sack
Vile case is generally regarded as the
standard precedent for our guidance in
such matters, though thee are not
lacking other precedents. The plea that
the letter was purely personal that 1t
was not even addressed to an official or
citizen of the United States will not
suffice. Lord Sackville set up such an
excuse, but President Cleveland de-
clared that ii was insufficient and the
minister was compelled to leave wash
ipgton.
A SERIOUS MATTER.
Washington. Feb. s--There few sena-
tors who had not read the de LONE let
ter when the Senate met today, but
there We're comparatively few of them
willing to express an opinion upon 1t.
1t is a very serious mater" said
Senator Gray of the committee on for
eign relations. "too serious to discuss
carelessly. Mr. de LONE Is entitled to
a suspension of Judgment until the re-
sponsibility Is more definitely deter
mined than at present
'If It is true" said Senator Foraker.
also member of the foreign relations
committee, "Mr. de LONE ought to be
given his passport Immediately"
Senator Spooner-If true, there Is a
gross attack, and most astounding, but
] cannot discuss 1t in view Of the doubt
as to it's genuineness.
Senator Hawley--It is n matter for
the state department to deal with and
does not for the present come within
the domain of Congress- have no
doubt that 1t will be properly handled
by the department.
Senator Stewart-The sentiment ex-
pressed is in line with Spain's policy
and disposition. We do everything to
conciliate the Spaniards; they recipro-
cate by despising us.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. S,-Before the
trial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies
was resumed today, Judge Woodward
stated that he had received an an
ohyihous letter, stating that If he did
not do certain things something would
happen, and u threat was made
The Judge said: 1.-THE man who wrote
inns VIII probably hear what l have to
say, and l want to tell him that he is
a scroundrel and coward. and that no
suen dishonorable means will in any
way AFFECT my judgment"
Judge Woodward ruled out certain
evidence given yesterday by John Co.'S
tello, witness for the prosecution.
which had been objected to by the de-
Tense. During the course of Costello's
testimony he had said to Deputy Hess,
referring to the shooting Of the strik-
ers, This is a nice thing you have
done" Costello said he replied angrily,
shut up, or I'll treat you the same
way at the same time leveiing his
rifle at Costello's head.
Costello was then called and asked
to go on and tell what he saw on the
road from Farey's hotel to Lattimer.
He said that he saw eight wounded
men lying along the road and three
dead men. He stated that he did
what he could for the wounded and
that he had found no weapons on any
of them.
d. j. Jones, cnief OF police or west
HaZelton, testified that the strikers
reached West Hazelton on the after
noon OF the shooting and there met the
sheriff and deputies. They carried n
flag and talked rather loud, but they
had no arms and made no disturbance.
The sheriff told them that they could
not march to Lattmer and that they
must so home, whereupon he (Jones)
induced them to go back. and showed
them how they could march by a side
street
John Lynch. the next witness, testl-
fled that he was at West HaZelton
when the strikers arrived and that
they were unarmed and orderly. The
sheriff told some of the strikers they
had better get out of the way, as there
was liable to be trouble II they did not
dispense. The witness further testified
that Deputy Manley struck him with
gun as he was moving off the street
and that another man had also been
struck One deputy pointed his gun at
q striker and said. 81 could get n bead
on that fellow" Deputy Ferrow told
man who was sympathizing with
striker whose head was bleeding that n
he didn't shut UP he would blow his
head off. Witness denied, on cross
examination, that he had blackjack
and tried to hit a deputy with II.
Herman Pottinger Of Hazelton said
that while he was at West Hazelton,
on the day of the shooting, Deputy
Diehl threatened to blow his brains out
II he did not get off the road. Another
deputy said. II bet ] drop six OF them
when I get over there" The crosse
examination failed to shake Pottinger's
story.
The testimony of the other witnesses
examined today was along the same
line. relating to the scenes at the place
OF disturbance and showing that the
strikers were unarmed.
