WILL CONFRONT COUNSEL.
James LancktOn's Complaints Against
Fitzgerald & Mcdonald.


James Lanckon, the old soldier who Is
under indictment for the murder Of Mrs.
Bette Lee Wren, and who is to be placed
on trial at an early date. has complained
to Warden Harris of the District Jail that
his counsel. Messrs. Fitzgerald and Nc
Donald, informed him yesterday that 1t Is
their intention to withdraw from the case.
According to the warden. Lanckton con-
siders 1t injustice that he should be left
without legal representatives at the last
moment just as his case is to be called
for trial
Beyond imparting to new counsel that
may be retained what they know Of the
case of value to the defense, so Lanckton
told the warden, Messrs. Fitzgerald and
Mcdonald intend to have nothing further
to do In relation with the matter The
defendant is friendless and penniless.
Through contributions from Grand Army
men and showmen, SO Lanckton declares,
he managed to collect a sum of money
ranging from $16O to 500.
This was placed in the hands Of his at
torneys The latter informed him, so
Lanckton says, that part of the money they
have spent in preparing his defense. and
that the remainder they take as counsel
fees
Messrs. Fitzgerald and Mcdonald have
called to see United States Attorney Ander-
SON They stated to him. that 1t Is their de-
sire to withdraw from the Lanckton case
To the United States attorney counsel say
they received about $40 or $3.50 belonging to
Lanckton; that they expended about $50 in
connection with the case, and that they
propose to retain the remainder as fees.
1t is the intention of United States At
torney Anderson to have Lanckton brought
up from Jail tomorrow and have him con-
front Messrs. Fitzgerald and Mcdonald in
the presence of Justice Clabaugh in Crimi-
nal Court No /. 1t will be for the court to
say whether or not they may withdraw
from the case

NEW YORK, October 2.-The trading I'm
today's stock market was irregular in tone,

disinclined to force the movement in the
face OF desire to realize on the part of
| the room. London's transactions aggregated
about 5000 shares. arbitrage houses being
sellers on balance
Developments in the coal regions were

progress toward a settlement
Events under the surface are said to be
shaping themselves toward a settlement at
an early date. but the street Is awaiting a
| change in the attitude of the miners
interest in the Vanderbilt issues gave the
market strong -undertone during the
morning The plan for closer alliance
with Big -Four attracted a buying demand
from conservative quarters, and there was
generally expressed belief in the early
announcement of the terms
Other Vanderbilt issues became active on
the theory that similar treatment would be
accorded them in due course Lake Erie
ana western was advanced on this pros
pect, and Canada Southern was traded in to
some extent for similar reasons
Shouid present predictions be realized the
railroad list will be given a strong incen-
tive to activity through the unification of
this great system. 1t is not unlikely that
the Gould stocks will become prominent
later on through a more or less imitative
plan.
The short interest In Northern Pacific
was Iorced to cover on an advancing mar
ket owing to the oversold condition of the
STOCK The buying was said to represent
some transactions in the long account. hut
the demand for that purpose was extremely
limited. Realizing In Union Pacific resulted
In an abandonment of the pool support, the
size OF the lots suggesting q not over strong
long account. Atchison issues yielded frac-
tionaily. but the pool in these shares ia

Ihe report originating in London to the
erect tnat prominent local banking house

price OF that stock. The report was prompt
