Finley Anderson Says He SwOre to
Lies to Convict Caleb Powers

LOUISVILLE, KY, October 30
The Louisville Evening Post to-day
prints an affidavit of Finley Anderson
a telegraph operator upon whose tes-
timony Caleb Powers was convicted
of completely in the murder of Gov.
Goebel, in which Anderson swears his
story told on the stand at Georgetown
was perjured. After telling of a con-
Versation with Attorney Campbell at
Cincinnati in connection with the
Goebel case he says:

which testimony was false.
Before making my statement to

NEW YORK, October 3o.-Cornelius
L. Alvord, Jr., the embezzling note ter
Ter of the First National Bank. who
was arrested yesterday in Boston, was
arraigned in police court here to-day
and remanded TO police headquarters
till 3 o'clock this afternoon, in order to
give the local authorities time TO de-
eide whether he shall be tried before
the u. S. or State courts. Alvord was
accompanied by his counsel.
A conference had been arranged be-
tween L. S. District Attorney Burnett
and Asa Bird Gardner, district attorney
of New York county to decide upon the
disposition of Alvord's case.
When Alvord was re-arranged in
police court this afternoon, Fisher A,
Baker, counsel for the First National
bank said that he had secured a war
rant from the Z. S. district court for
Alvord's arrest under the laws regu-
lating embezzlement and making false
entries. He said he would much pre-
fer that the prisoner go before the e..
s. courts for trial. This was opposed
by District Attorney Gardiner AL
words attorney apparently took little
interest in this part OF the proceed
ings. After some discussion the
whole matter went over until to-mor-
row. Alvord was committed to the
Tombs. Ii appears probable that
there may be long contest as to jur-
isdiction, District Attorney Gardiner
apparently being determined that the
prisoner shall be tried in a state
court.

ST. THOMAS, D. w. L., October 30
At an extraordinary meeting of the
Colonial Council at st. Croix, D. w l.,
Monday, the vice chairman denounced
the statements made by A. ]. Black
wood, the U. S. consul at st. Croix,
and chairman of the Colonial Council,
in an interview printed in New York,
October &c, IN which Mr.. Blackwood
was quoted as saying the sentiment of
the people of the Danish West Indies is
strongly in favor of annexation. The
vice chairman said the allegations
made were opposed to the facts in the
case and that Mr.. Blackwood spoke
without the councils authority. A re-
solution was adopted to cable King
Christian of Denmark "submissively
expressing" the wish of the inhabit-
ants to continue under the Danish
crown, and expressing the belief that
annexation to the United States would
be against the wishes of majority Of
the inhabitants. Some of the mem
bers protested against the passage Of
the resolution, but the vice chairman
overruled them.
There was a torchlight procession

crowd, headed by land of music.

houses were decorated with Danish

A VERDICT OF MURDER IN THE
FIRST DEGREE WITHOUT

APPARENT INDIF NCF

DURING THE LAST HOURS
OF THE TRIAL

MARYSVILLE, o., October 30.-The
fate of Rosslyn Ferrel, charged with
the murder of his friend, Express Mes
senger lane, was put in the hands of
the jury this afternoon at 4:40 o'clock
Judge Melhorns charge was quite
lengthy, being devoted largely to in
structions for the guidance of the jury
in determining the mental status of the
prisoner at the time the crime was
committed.
The jury at once retired for deliber-
alton and at late hour tonight re-
turned a verdict of murder in the first
degree, without recommendation. The
verdict carries with it the death SEN
tence.
Ferrelps demeanor during the whole
OF the last days proceedings was one
of apparent Indifference and during the
early part of the evening, while the
jury was debating the question that
meant life or death to him, he was
playing cards in the Jail.

WHY JOHN K. CONEN FEARS
DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.

BUSINESS DEPRESSION THAT
ALARMS HIM.
INTIMIDATION HIS SCHEME,

CANCEL ORDERS AND THUS HURT

BALTIMORE, Md, October 31.-The
Sun this morning gives prominence TO
the following, in connection with its
pending controversy with President
John X. Cowen, of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company. The substance
of the dispute is: Mr.. Cowen insists
that he has given very large car
contract, contingent upon the re-elec-
ton of Mr.. Mckinley. and to be can
eelled in case Mr.. Bryan is successful.
The Sun accuses Mr.. Cowen of bluff
ing, and is maintaing a vigorous fight
against his assertion. A summary was
telegraphed Mr.. Bryan, Monday, and his
response was:
MARLBORO DEPOT, n. Y, October
29.-Editors of The Sun. Baltimore, Nd.
Have read your telegram quoting threat
OF president of Baltlmore & Ohio Rail-
road to cancel order for cars in case
| am elected.
There is. no reason to fear business
depression in case of Democratic sue
cess.
| imagine that Mr.. Governs objec-
ton to my election is not based so
much on fear of business depression as
because of the fact that | am opposed
to government by injunction, the black
list and to the Railway Pooling bill
which he went to Washington to lobby
for after he was elected to Congress
and before he took his seat.
His threat is confession that the
Republican party cannot win without
intimidation.
Il trust we may some day have laws
that will provide a penitentiary cell
for the man who attempts to use his
power as the president of corporation
to disfranchise or coerce the laboring
men who work for the corporation.
'fIf an employer is entitled to the
votes of all who are employed by him,
the law should allow him to cast the
votes of MS employees.
IF not entitled to this right, the
law should restrain him from using
his position to terrify those who work
under him.
IF you will examine the Congress
sional Record you will find that Champ
Clark, of Missouri, made a speech while
the Pooling bill was before Congress
and referred to the fact that Cowen
was there lobbying for it. This was
before Governs term began and when
he was entitled to the floor.
