THE ELMIRA FORGERY CASE.
Miss Loonie Retracts Her Confession and
Then Retracts the Retraction.

Miss Loonie Retracts Her Confession and
Then Retracts the Retraction.
Elmira, N. Y. (SpeciaD.-The case Of
Mayor Frank III. Flood, who was ar
rested and released on $4,000 bail,
charged with forgery by Catherine
LOOnie, a pretty young woman, her.
self under conviction for the same
offense, took an odd turn Wednesday.
1t was announced that Miss Loonie,
In the County jail, had made another
affidavit retracting the criminal accu-
sations she had made against Mayor.
Flood. This affidavit was given by
the notary who acknowledged it, Her
bert N. Babcock, to Joseph P. Eustace,
attorney for the Mayor.
Miss Loonie, when questioned con-
corning the matter said that Mr.. Bah
cock came to her with the in
formation that the Mayor was
FRUSTRATED, and would commit sui
eide unless she made the ~retraction,
and to save his life, so she thought,
she made the retraction. Mr.. Bah
cock declares that she sent for him
voluntarily and dictated to him the
r~etraction.
Later in the day Miss Loonie was
visited by J.. John Hassett, attorney
for the prosecution, she having ex-
pressed a desire to make an affidavit
~retracting her ~retraction. She said
she had made it because of the repre-
sensations about the Mayors pros
Htrated condition.
Mr.. Hassett says that he does not
need the evidence of Miss Loonie in
the case, as he has an abundance of
other evidence.
Mayor Flood, instead of being in a
STAGE of collapse, has been about the
streets visiting his patients apparent
~ as unconcerned as he was before
the arrest was made.

Sullivan. Ind. EpeciaD.-An extraor-

wedged in by the sand and entirely
hidden from view, was able to talk to
those who went to his rescue, and he
advised with them what was best to
do. A large force of men soon gath.
cred, and they worked all the after
noon and until midnight In running a
tunnel.
Their efforts were apparently of no
avail. as the earth cayed in as fast as
1t could be displaced. Late at night
the would-be rescuers were unable to
determine If McPheeters were still
alive, and at midnight, under the belief
that he had been s~uffocated, they re-
turned to their homes.
EARLY in the morning it was discov-
cred that McPheeters was still alive,
and after much exertion a tw0-inch
Rubber hose was run down, through
which he received soup and other nour-
ishment. Forty men were then placed
at work and a large hole was dug
alongside, after which a tunnel was
run through, all of which was curbed
rs rapidly as completed. The work
continued unremittingly until 8 O'Clock
the following morning, when McPheet-
ers was rescued, after thirty-eight
hours imprisonment. He received
no injuries with the exception of q
bruised shoulder.
