ANSWERING IN COURT FOR HIS Al
LEGGED MIsDEEDs.
THE JURY SECURED YESTERDAY
TRIAL IS on A COUNT IN WHICH
YOUNG QUAY DOES NOT FIGURE.
Clash Between Opposing Counsel Oc-
Cured During Examination of
First Witness. Indicating
That Case Is to BE
Hard Fought.

PHILADELPHIA. April 10.-Ex-United
States Senator Matthew S. Quay and his
son. Richard r. Quay were called to the
bar of the court of quarter sessions to-day
and, after many months OF veXatious de-
lay, the trial of the two defendants was
begun.
There was an entire absence of any
crowd either outside or within the court
room Special cards of admission had been
issued to only those directly interested in
the case. witnesses, jurors and newspaper
MEN. Even members of the bar who are
not in the case were denied admission. AS
a result of these arrangements the court
room was but little more than half filed
and the greater portion of those present
were witnesses.
Judge Craig Biddle, one of the oldest
and most respected members on the
bench, was the trial judge. District Attor-
ney Rothermel. after two hours had been
spent in selecting a jury, elected to try
ex-senator Quay first on that one of the
five indictments lin which he and his son
are variously nameO which charges Mr..
Quay and the late ex-State Treasurer Ben
jamia j. Haywood with conspiracy in u.s.
ing the state funds for their personal ben
eft and profit. and in a manner unauthor-
lied by law. This action practically leaves
the ex-senator alone on trial.
Beyond the selection of n jury and the
examination of one witness. Thomas H.
Barlow. receiver of the Peoples bank.
nothing was done to-day The jury was Sc
cured after thirty-five talesmen had been
examined. fourteen of whom were stood
aside by the district attorney. one excused
and one challenged for cause. The latter
was Talcott Williams. one of the editors
of the Press, of this city, which is opposed
politically to Mr.. Quay. The defense then
exhausted its privilege of four peremptory
challenges and the commonwealth took ad-
vantage of but three of the challenges.
The only witness examined to-day, Mr..
Barlow. led to the first clash between coun-.
sci, I'D apparently indicated that deter
mined legal battle. replete with knotty
points of law, will be fought in the trial
of the case.
The district attorney called Mr.. Barlow
to identify books and papers found by him
when he assumed the receivership. Mr..
Shapley. of+counsel for the defense. under
took to o,cross-examine the witness with re-,
spect to- hi: knowledge of-whether certain
books which the defense. It is understood.
claims are missing are included in those
testified to by the witness. This was OBJ
jected to and after repeated consultations
among the counsel for the defense and
to the question in another form 1t was
abandoned and Mr.. Shapley said he would
begin his cross-examination in the morn
ing.

GUTHRIE, o. T. April 10.-tSpecial.) }
The identity of one Of the men indicted by
the late grand jury was made public this
afternoon by the arrest of Territorial
Treasurer Frank NJ. Thompson, who is
charged with appropriating to his own use
interest on public funds. The Indictment
reads as follows:

public money; true bill. d. d. Hunter,

law, appropriate to his own use certain

said +. NJ. Thompson, on behalf of the

appropriation Of said money rs aforesaid,

and there received by him as such public
officer Of the territory of Oklahoma con.
trary 10 the form of the statute in such
cases made and provided, and against the
peace and dignity of the territory of Okla
homa.'
The charge is based on the fact that, in
his last report which was made to Novem-
ber 80. 1858. Treasurer Thompson did not
include among the receipts of his office
any interest received from the Guthrie
National bank for the use of funds depos-
tied there. J. w. McNeal, president OF
the bank. testified before the grand jury
that interest had been paid, which was
corrobora ted by Secretary of the Territory
William NJ. Jenkins.
To The Journal correspondent Mr.
Thompson said tonight that he was un-
willing at present to make any public
statement. but that the question seemed
TO hinge on the legality of receiving inter
the subject. and Treasurer Thompson will

Two of the Murderers of POstmnste er

alleged Lake City lynchers were placed on
trial in the United States circuit court here
to-day. The case against J. P. Newham
and Farley P. Lee. the men who turned
states evidence. was dropped by, request
Of the district attorney. and this accounts
for the fact that eleven instead OF thirteen
men are now on trial. The hearing to-day
occupied seven hours. much of which was
taken up reading and rereading the indict-
ment and in arguing technical questions
raised by the defense. After technical
objection to the jury panel had been dis
posed of. the jury was sworn in. 1t Is
composed of white men Of means. and
standing in the different counties here
abouts.
The two men who have turned states
evidence, told the officers of the midnight

on the building and then of the flames.
Then the witnesses told of the wild cries
which came from the house when the help

MRS. EWING ON TRIAL.

Mrs George Ewing. charged with having
murdered her sister-in-law, Mrs. Frank
Ewing. at Hopkins. on the night Of Sep
tember "a. 1888. began in the circuit court
this morning. with Judge Gallatin Craig on
the bench.
Mrs. Ewing was brought into court at 10

band. who carried their little 3-year-old

appeared to be no feeling between them
Mrs Ewing manifested not the slightest
nervousness.

ANOTHER MACHINE
DEMOCRATS PREPARING TO con-
TROL CITY ELECTIONS.
A BILL HAS BEEN DRAFTED
PUTS KANSAS CITY AND ST. LOUIS IN
GOVERNORS HANDS.
Elections to Be Controlled by Three
Commissioners to BE Appointed
by Governor-Scheme Has
Yet, to Be IndOrsed
by Caucus.
PUTS KANSAS CITY AND ST. LOUIS IN
GOVERNORS HANDS.

JEFFERSON CITY. April 10.-(Special.)
The committee appointed by the Demo-
cratic caucus to draw up an election bill
decided tonight on measure which re-
peals the present law governing Kansas
City and St. Louis elections, and provides
for three election commissioners for each
city, all to be appointed by the governor.
No more than two commissioners on each
board are to be members Of the same polit-
ical party. Each commissioner is to re-
ceive salary of $3.50 year and there is
to be a deputy commissioner. who, as Sec
retary of the board. is to receive 5000 a
year.
The provision of the present law which
makes judges and clerks of election sub
ject to confirmation by the circuit court is
repealed.
1t was doubtful until tonight whether the
bill would be drawn to cover both cities or
only st. Louis. Representative Cardwell
and Henry J. Latshaw appeared before the
committee and asked that the proposed law
be made to apply to Kansas City. They
claimed that they represented the united
Democratic delegation from Jackson coun-
ty. Mr.. Cleary has many times declared
himself against machine legislation. Mr..
Phillips has expressly declared himself
against this proposed bill and remained
away from the caucus in order not to be
bound. Mr. Noers policy has been not to
force Objectionable laws on the people Of
Kansas City. 1t may be that Mr.. Card
well was mistaken when he said that he
represented the Jackson county delegation.
The bill which was drafted tonight is
the outcome of the attempt on the part
of the administration Democrats to revive
the old recorder of votes system. This law
was repealed after the scandals of Ows-
leyism had been Lexowed. The Democrats
are anxious to go back to the good old
times Of ballot box stuffing in the cities.
A bill was drawn up Incorporating the one
commissioner idea and was introduced by
Nesbit. Stephens man. from Scotland.
A caucus was called to indorse this bill.
but. in the meantime, the people wrote to
their representatives protesting, and the
Democrats bid not dare to adopt the meas
ure.
With the exception that it provides for
three commissioners instead of one. the
bill drafted tonight is almost as vicious as
the Nesbit bill. 1t provides for board
subservient to the governor and the check
afforded by the circuit court is removed.
Such law on the statute books would be
an open invitation to election frauds. If
the design for the bill be not to foster ball
lot box stuffing it is difficult to discover
the motive which prompted 1t.
