omcers of an Alleged Two Million
Dollar Corporation Arrested
mt 81. Louis.

ST LOUIS, Dec. 5--The POST Dispatch
this afternoon says: Rev. w. C. Henderson
and William Edmonds, two executive Off
GERS Of the Wyoming Smelling, Refining,
Mining and Investment company, which cor
poration is capitalized at 1000 900, were
arrested at their place of business, 1919la
Market street, by government officers this
afternoon on a warrant charging them with
using the mails for fraudulent purposes.
Deputy United States marshals are now
searching for Joshua C. Watson, who is
president of the company.
Their operations are said to have been
extensive. The prisoners admit having rep
resentatives in nearly every state through
out the west, while they declare they have
Wyoming.
The arrest was made at the instance OF
the postoffice inspectors department. For
several weeks Chief Postoffce Inspector
Dice has received hundreds of inquiries con-
cerning the mining corporation from col
ored persons.
CHEYENNE, Dec. 5.-(Special Telegram.)
Joshua c. Watson aA' William Edmonds,
the latter colored, came here in 1896 and
incorporated the Wyoming Smelling, Re-
tining Milling and Mining company. Shortly
after, the secretary of state began to receive
letters from colored people in the south ask
ing about the financial affairs of the com
pany. An investigation was made which re-
suited in the discovery that the company
did not own a mine in the state nor any
property whatever. Neither Watson nor Ed
monds has been seen here since the filing

SURPRISE IN MOLINEUX TRIAL
Prosecution Produces Strong Testi-
mOny to Show Bitter Enmity
HarbOred by the Defendant.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.--The surprise of the
day in the trial of Roland b. Molineux for
the murder of Katherine, Adams was the
sudden production by ~ prosecution Of
testimony that Molneux hsrSOred bitter en-
nifty toward Harry Cornish and A. A.
Harpster, a former employe of the Knicker
booker Athletic club and a friend of Cor
nish; further, that MolineuX sought in a
roundabout way, by having an agent write
to Harpster's former employer, over a false
signature, to obtain information rejecting
on Harpsters character that he might use
the information to Harpsters injury. This
new testimony which was extracted from an
unwilling friend of Molineux is important,
not only in showing a motive for Molineux
in seeking the death of Cornish but as con-
frming the theory of the prosecution that
Molineux wrote, or caused to be written,
several letters, falsely signed, asking for
drugs and medicines.
The witness who testified concerning the
letter writing methods of MolineuX was Ru
dolph Heiles OF Newark, N. j., former cash
ier of the Knickbocker Athletic club. Heiles
worked beside Harpster, who was a clerk
at the club.

as indelicate, in view OF the death of Senator
Hayward populists and democrats in the
senate are already looking to his successor

he stood for the best in American life and
that he was the logical candidate who
would have TO bear the brunt of next years

COURT GUSTS CLERK TOWNS
Missouri Corrupt Practices Act Is Up
held by Supreme Court as to
Bribing Voters.

JEFFERSON CITY Mo-, Dec. 5-The SUI
preme court, en- banc, in an opinion by Jus
tice MarshaH in the case of the State
against William Towns, clerk of Harrison
county, upheld the validity of the corrupt
practices act, in part, and declared 1t void
in part. Towns was accused of bribing
voters to secure his election by offers of
appointment to deputyships.
The supreme court sustained the charges
and declared the Office vacant. 1t decided
that it is within the power of the governor
to fill the vacancy by appointment, thus null
lifying that part of the corrupt practices act
which provides that in case OF custer from
office the man receiving the next highest
number of votes shall receive the Office.
