ON SERIOUS CHARGES
Frank Pardon and George Fowle Held for
Grand Jury.
Charged With Using the Mail for
Fraudulent Purposes-Balti-
more Indictments.

Frank G. Pardon and George A. Fowle
were last evening held by United States
Cor m !ssioner Mills for the action of the
grand jury to answer the charge of sending
fraudu' ent matter through the mails Far
den was released on $3.50 bail, but Fowle
was unable to do and went down. 1t is
said that Fowle will also probably be re-
leased today.
1t is alleged that about two years ago the
accused men entered into partnership to
issue fraudulent policies of insurance. The
accused are, it is alleged, under indictment
in Baltimore, where, it is alleged, they con-
Quoted business under the name of &C. B.
Allen & Co.. which name is said to be
wholly fictitious.
The indictment says the defendants set
up business under the name of c. B. Allen
& Co. in the Equitable building in Balti-
more. 1t is asserted that after the firm had
established itself circulars We're sent out
to large number of agents and insurance
brokers. In these Allen & Co. were repre-
scented as being the general agents of sew
eral leading insurance companies.
Among those who received a circular was
the firm of Jordan & Richardson Of this
city, and they made arrangements to do
business for Allen & Co. The former in
duced Mr.. George F. Pyles, the postmaster
urb. to take out a policy, the premium of
which MIR. Pyles paid. Later he received a
policy in the Atlantic Fire and Marine In
surance Company Of New York, one of the
Lloyds.
Some time after this there was fire in
Mr.. Pyles store, and upon making appli-
cation for the amount of insurance through
the usual channels payment was refused,
on the ground that it had never been is
sued from the home office, although it was
on one of their forms
Pardon and Fowle were both surprised at
their arrest. and they claim to he innocent.
The former asserted that &C. b. Allen is
no myth, as has been intirna ted. and he de-
clared that he has known him for some
years. Pardon is weil-known young man,
who has never been in trouble before,
while Fowle is also well known. He was
recently shot by Mr.. James Horah because
of family complications. Subsequently Mr..
HOrah secured a divorce from his wife, and
she is now Mrs. Fowle.
The counsel for the accused said this af-
ternoon that they had decided to fight the
Baltimore Indictment against their clients,
and will ask that they be held here for
further proceedings regarding the Pyles
matter.
Shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon
Fowle also gave bond in 81 800, and was re-
leased from custody. HIS surety is Mr. A.
i. GlasScock.

Fined and Held for Trial ON Tyy,
Charges.

Edward c. Niles. the lawyer who was ar
rested last evening on charges of threats,
assault and disorderly conduct, today for
feited s. in the aforementioned case and was
held in 500 bond for trial on the two others.
Bail was offered by Attorney Howell Titus,
hut 1t was not satisfactory to Clerk Potts,
Mr.. Titus appealed to Judge Scott for re-
versal of Mr.. Potts decision, but the court
refused to DO so.
1t was alleged that Niles went into the
saloon of John c. knight. on Pennsylvania
avenue near I'd street northwest, between
10 and II O'Clock last night and ordered
champagne. This was drank by Niles and
some others, but, it is said Niles refused
to pay. An alteration followed between
Niles and Knight, and the former said that
champagne was furnished when beer was
ordered. Officer J. ]. OBrien. who was
called in tried it Is said, TO adjust matters.
but was unable to do so, as after Nile;
had started to leave the place upon Knight
order he turned and struck the latter iii
the face. Niles was then arrested and
locked up at the third precinct station.
While in the dock at the Police Court this
morning Niles walked the floor almost con-
stantly and seemed to be on the verge of
collapse.

DAM AGING EVIDENCE
Witnesses Tightening lstbe Moose Around
Browns Neck,
Frederick Jail Warden Testffies to
stein -Surderers-Weak Defense,
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star


FREDERICK, Md, July 13.-The third
day of the trial of John Brown is in prog
ress, and it is thought it will be concluded
today. as far as the testimony is concern
ed. Brown appeared very nervous and ex-
citable this morning.
Moses Rosenstein, the first witness, iden-
titled the two watches-the brass one which
Taylor had and the silver one which
Brown is supposed to have left in the
woods, as those of Louis Rosenstein.
Warden Croft of the Frederick Jail testi-
fled that he overheard a conversation be-
tween Brown and Taylor. Taylor said to
Brown: Uncle Brown, you played hell
hiding them boots You put them where
every one saw Them
The court ruled this part of evidence to
be not admissible.
Convicting Conversations.
Croft said he also heard Brown say to
Taylor not to go on the stand against him,
and he would do the same. Brown also
said to Taylor that he saw some one pay
Rosenstein money on the night previous to
the murder. Brown said he couldn't fix
the time that he consumed between his
home and Mr.. KNOTS. Croft swore that
Taylor repeatedly accused Brown of the
murder, but he never made any reply,
either denying or acknowledging it. Brown
admitted that the iron rod was his.
The state then rested it's case.
Defense Calls Nellie Turner.
The defense opened it's case by placing
Nellie Turner in the witness box. She
identified the overalfs that We're blood
stained as being Browns. but claimed the
blood came from hog-kiiiing, and that she
washed them previous tt the murder. The
other articles were identified as hers.
fn1 hat he
prints across the wheat field opposite his
home one barefooted. The object of the
defense is to prove that 1t was Taylor that
passed through this field after hiding the
boots in the woods. No one remembered
seeing Taylor passing through there, but a
negro did pass there, as testified by Wal
terS.
Other Testimony.
Virgie Knott testified that she saw Brown
coming into the house that morning. and
he came the same path as usual. The de-
Tense placed Chas. Uttermehle and l..
Krise. former jurors in the. Taylor case, on
the stand for the purpose Of attacking the
testimony of Mrs. Walter Carlin in regard
to placing the time of Browns passing, but
failed to make an impression or to do the
prosecution any damage. They failed to
put Brown on the stand. The defense then
rested its case.

Electrical Trouble.

The striking electricians met, as usual
this morning at their headquarters. corner

was said, would be done during the day.
Five new members were admitted to the
union today. and the strikers say they are
more than ever confident of success.
Some of the contractors against whom
the strike was inaugurated said this after
noon that not one Of the contractors who
originally refused to sign the proposed
agreement has done So and that those men
who have signed and those who have prom
lsed to do so are parties who have not
heretofore been in the electrical cbnstruc-
ton business.
