That He Took Gold From the Dueber
Works and Sold 1t to Workman.

Testimony Tending to Show the Process By
which He Was Pumped and Made
to Tell About Selling Gold
A Very Interest
ing Case.

The case of Ohio VS.. William Wort
man, the jeweler, was placed on hearing
before Judge Taylor and jury in court
room No. Thursday morning. The
state was represented by Prosecutor
Day and ex-Prosecutor Pomerene. At
torney ]. w. Craine upheld the cause of
the defendant. After a jury had been
secured Prosecutor Day made the state
ment for the state, charging that Wort
man had been buying gold stolen from
the Dueber works knowing it to be
stolen, and the examination of wit
nesses was commenced.
The first man called was Frank Dorm
berger He testified that he had work.
ed for the Dueber watch case factory
for five years and was still there. About
last May he said he took a piece of gold
from the assaying room and carried
it away from the shop. Later in the
week he said he met Workman in front
of his iewelry store and showed him
the metal. Workman, he said, wanted
to buy it, He refused to sell it and
said he must take it back to the shop.
Workman offered him $3.50 then 81 and
then $3.50 and he finally sold it to him.
Afterward he said Superintendent Det-
mering came to him and asked if he
had ever sold Workman any gold and he
testified that he had confessed to talk
ing the piece and selling it. Dornberger
said he had not stolen any more.
d. Tinsler, of this city, testified that
he had been in Wortman's store when a
fellow came in and
BOUGHT SOME OLD GOLD
from Workman. There was some talk
about it coming from the Dueber
works. The witness had discussed the
practicability of Wortman's buying
scrap gold from Dueber men, with the
defendant, but Workman said he could
not tell where the gold was coming
from and he made a good thing out of
the deals. The attorney for the defen-
dant objected to the testimony on the
ground that this talk did not relate spe-
officially to the piece of gold it was al
legged was bought from Dornberger.
The court finally decided all testimony
not relating to the Dornberger case
should be taken from the jury.
Homer Stone testified that he and
Superintendent Detmering, David B. |
Day and Workman had talk in Justice |
Calmelat's Office and Workman told |
them he had sold gold to a man named |
Hester in Akron. On cross examina-
tion Stone admitted that
WORKMAN WAS DRUNK
at the time they got him into the office
and they got him there to try and work
testimony out of him. He said during
the interview Detmering took Wort
man out to get him some more drink
and that he was pretty drunk.
Constable Wielandt also testified that
Workman was drunk. so drunk in fact
that they had to wait till next morning
with their search warrant for him to
open his safe. When he did open it
they found no stolen goods.
Mr.. Hester. the man to whom Wort
man sold his old gold testified that he
bought it for $11. He said what he got

Pope Leo XIII. May Live to
be a Hundred.

In spite of the usual alarmist ru-
mors, can assure you that Leo XIII
is not only remarkably well, but to
qpote the words of the papal physician
Prof. Lapponi, with whom l had an
interesting chat yesterday, "The
amount of vitality which he displays is
little short of miraculous"
Those who have never seen his wax
like features and the trembling hand
raised in benediction, and who behold
Leo XIII for the first time, almost in
variably receive the impression that
only a few months or perhaps weeks
of life remain to the frail old man.
Yet that impression has proved to be a
false one for the last 20 years, and If
we are to believe the prophesy of an
old seeress from Carpineto, the Pope's
native village, will continue to deceive
people for another 10 years, as Leo
XIII may live to be a hundred.
"It is not at all impossible that His
Holiness may attain that age" said
Prof Lapponi, in reply to my ques-
tion, "for in all my professional ex-
perience l have rarely met with a
healthier organization on with con-
stituticn so robust as that of the Holy
Father. Living, as he does, in the
most frugal manner, on the most sim
pie diet all fear OF intestinal troub-
les, so dangerous in old age, is reduced
to a minimum, and TO diseases of the
circulatory and respiratory organs,
may say without exaggeration that
many young men do not possess such
sound lungs and heart as Leo Kill"
Not long ago a deputation of ten
young ladies of Aguila, town on the
Apennines, came to Rome purposely
to present the Pope with a parchment
in which they stated that each had
made the sacrifice of ont year of her
life that it might be added to that of
the Holy Father whose existence is
SO precious to the Church. Leo XIII
was greatly moved, and, in blessing
the fair members OF the deputation, he
said that he accepted their wish, as he
needed quite ten years to completely
fulfill his mission On earth.
The Pope is taking a great interest
in the movement set on foot by the
Croix of Paris. who proposes that all
Catholics who have attained the Holy
Fathers age should sign an address to
be presented to Leo XIII by a deputa-
tion of nooagenarians on March 2,
when the Pope will celebrate his nine
ty-ffrst birthday.-Rome Gable New

All People Should Be Politi-
clans.

Rev. w. w. Boyd, discussing DUTY
in Politics" before the Young Mems
Christian Association, in st. Louis
urged every young man to be poll
ticlan--in the best sense of that term.
He did net encourage participation in
the ordinary meaning of politician, but
in the higher, patriotic idea of inter-
ested citizenship in popular govern
ment. And in this was his advice
wholesome. He holds the true theory
that politics is the science of govern
ment; that there is nothing more i'm
portant than its intelligent exercise;
that in its primary definition there is
nothing of more importance; that in
its secondary sense comes the applica-
ticn through the practical control and
management of politics. 1t is a prop
osition that cannot be controverted
that the men of business, of science
and CT literature are primarily more
interested in good government and
politics than the barroom loafer and
ward hummer; are mere numerous and
more influential because of their intel
overcome their repungance to contact
with the worst element of the COM
munlty and attend to the highest duty
devolving upon the citizens, their num-
bers and influence would prevail and
more wholesome conditions be obtain
ed. There would then be little excuse
for sulking and boiling and avoidance
of the polls. There are more good
men than bad in community, ward
or voting precinct and it is a species
of physical and moral cowardice that
keeps their numerical and personal
superiority from asserting itself.
There is no more reason why hon
esty in politics should not be as essen
tial to good standing in any commun-
ity as honestly in commercial and pro-
fessional callings. 1t is the fault Of
any community when the conditions
of its public life are less indicative Of
popular integrity than of private sta
biltty Of character. In a government
by the people the ascendency of the
good over the bad, the vrtuous over
the vicious, should never be in doubt,
for there is more of good than of evil
in the citizenship of all American
communities. 1t has been well urged
that with an army of good citizens
faithfully discharging their duties as
we'll as privileges at the polls, rowdy-
ism, intimidation, bribery and corrup-
tion would disappear and the ward
boss would become creature without
a nocupation, and unworthy and in
competent men would no longer fill
public offices. There would be better
Legislators and better laws and better
administration.
The revernd doctors advice is time
ly and pertinent. Every young man
should take an active interest in poll
tics Also, every old man and every
man of any age. In that is the saliva
tion OF the government.--Com

bid Of the Marietta Boiler Works be
accepted and the Solicitor be instruct
ed to draw up contract. The motion
carried.
The report of Mayor Richardson of
fines and licenses collected during the
month Of February was read. The
amount was $6S50 On motion the re-
port was received and placed on file.
On motion Clerk Becker was in
structed to return certified checks to
unsuccessful bidders on the boiler
contract.

mite had received three bids for

On Storck's motion the contract
was awarded to Mr.. Osterle and the
City Solicitor and Fire committee
were authorized to draw the contract.
Mr. Strain, of the special committee
appointed several weeks ago to consid-
er the Messenger Service ordinance,
presented by Messrs. C. r. Richardson
and w. S. Dye, stated that these gen.
tlemen had made all concessions they
possibly could toward making the or
dlnance acceptable to the committee.
He said that the committee recon-
mended the passage of the ordinance.
The ordinance was read and passed
to second reading by title only when
discussion ensued. Some members
objected to the proposed ordinance
on the ground that it failed to state
that no poles were to be placed ON
the streets, their height and kind, and
that no poles were be placed on
Putnam, Front or Greene streets. The
molten to pass to third reading by IT,
tie only was lost by vote of seven to
three-Blume, Marsch and Lambert
voting against.
Mr.. Davis then brought up the mat
ter of establishing fire station on
the West Side. After some remarks
in general, City Solicitor Richards
was called upon for his opinion re-
gardding the form of the ordinance.
He stated that he thought the or
dlnance should divide the city into
Jwo fire districts and that the present
fire company officers should be dup
Heated in the West Side department,
with the exception of the office OF
Chief as only one Chief is necessary.
On motion the matter of preparing an
ordinance was referred to the City So
licitor and Fire committee.

by the bank The motion carried.

anies having wires on the Putnam

the old bridge will begin within three
weeks.

Several American contracting con-
Germs, and indirectly the United States
Government itself, are sufferers as a
result of the Boer war The contract
ing firms are Bonded to furnish naval
vessels and transports with coal at
Mediterranean and European ports,
and, because of the war, they find the
greatest difficulty in fulfilling their
contract. England is boarding her
coal for her cwn use and English
vessels that formerly carried coal for
general mercantile sailors are now en-
gagged in the service of that govern
ment.
Good steaming coal has jumped to
famine prices at the ports along the
Suez Canal route, and the contractors
for the American Government are los
ing money on their contracts. So far,
however, they have been able to sup
ply the demands made on them by the
American vessels.
