from ex-senator Quay, written at Phila-
delphia today, in which Mr.. Quay depre-
Gated any change in position by his follow
ers in the legislature pending proceedings

: change position might as well come here
and go on the witness stand against me-"
Continuing, he said: ITO temporize with
those persons who for three months have
prevented the election of a senator from
Pennsylvania would extricate them from
the abyss into which they have plunged.
Insetad of making their treason to the
party odious, their treason would be made
respectable"

Senator Penrose and others, contending
that Mr.. Quay was the regular nominee OF
the joint republican caucus and was en-
titled tU-the support of every republican in
the legislature. Senator Magee, of Pitts

anti-Quay members and adopted a resolu-
ton declaring that Mr. Quay was the
unanimous choice of the republican caucus
committee, composed of more than two
thirds of the republicans of the assembly,
and. 1t is the duty of all republicans of the
joint convention to sustain the republican
organization by supporting the caucus nom-
inee and calling upon those now opposing
the regular candidate to lay aside factional
feeling and unite in the election of repub-
lican to the United States senate.
After the conference, Senator Magee said
he would not vote for Quay tomorrow.

There Was No Such Person
AS Blanche Graham.

New York, April 1.-THE examination of
Arthur s. Colyar, Jr., the Nashville law
yer, who is charged with conspiracy to
kiInap Nicholas A. Hickman, an impor-
tant witness in the Molineaux poisoning
case was continued today and adjourned
until tomorrow.
Mr.. Weeks, counsel for Molineaux, read
a number of affidavits that had been sent
to him by Colyar while in Nashville as
proof that there could be no doubt that
Hickman was Percy Raymond, an escaped
convict. The first was sworn to by ]. f.
Martin and the second by w. w. Redmond,
OF Nashville. Several letters and telegrams
that had seen sent by Colyar to Weeks, the
latter also read, in which Blanche w. Gra-
ham, the woman who Raymond is said to
have wronged, was to come to New York to
make the final and positive identification.
MIR. Weeks said Colyar had gone to Albany
and secured the requisition papers which
were held up on Governor Roosevelts re-
quest that they be not served until he had
further looked into the matter. Colyar ac-
cording to MIR. Weeks then went to Wash
ington and wired: woodruff Acting
Governor: From highest authority learn
Plat can control him. Am getting letters
10 tldII from men OF lnHuence mere.
Mr.. Weeks said that Colyar had con-
fessed to him that there was no Blanche
Graham and that when Mr.. Weeks got
him to produce the woman who had signed
the affidavit Blanche Graham, Coyar
got woman in Washington, who greed to
play the part, paying her SIS, and she fall
ed to put in an appearance.
81 told Colyar that as an officer of court
/ could do nothing but take him back 70
New York and turn him over to the
authorities there" said Mr.. Weeks.
Mr.. Weeks said he made Coyar give up
telegraph order for $50, payable in Wash
ington, that he had sent him and which
had not been cashed.
Mr. Weeks alleged that Colyar had con-
fessed to him that the photograph Colyar
had given him, purporting to be picture
of Raymond taken from the locket of
Blanche Graham had been obtained by
photographing the tin type of Heckmon,
which had been sent to Nashville for iden-
tification. The proceedings were then ad-
journed.

with him to the train, who went as far
as Newark. They got off there and Steph-
ems was told to go to the Lafayette hotel

$10O month to insure the, protection of
the resort which he started and that II
anybody was robbed he price was to get
half. "And 1 have done business with him
for quite a WHILE" said Buttner.

did was to theaten to close the Broadway
garden up unless he received $3.50 month
and half of any robbery that was accom-
pushed III u. ne ODJcCltu anu lOlu IIlOo
he was running a straightforward game
and letting out no rooms, but according to
the witness, Price replied: II don't care
damn IL you let out hundred rooms a
night. 1 want $3.50. a month";
Buttner asserted that he had known more
than a hundred cases in which the police
had made women share with them money
they had stolen from men. He swore that
on one occasion a woman robbed man
of s., 500 and gave the whole amount to the
ward man. The robbed man complained
to Captain Price, and said Buttner: This
misfortune happened to these people price
and the complainant). They met the girl
on the street and they had to arrest her.
She said:I gave the ward man the wad
of $780, After she told that they returned
the $500 and let the girl CO."
Richard Croker was then called. Mr.
Moss asked him about the contributions
made by the judicial candidates last year.
Couldn't Tell the Amount
Mr.. Croker could not tell the amount.
Mr.. Croker had never heard of the Metro
politan Street railway or persons inter sted
In it had contributed $750,000 to Tammany
Hall during the last election. Mr.. Croker
had received no money, directly or indi-
rectly, from Mr. Carroll during the last
