TERRORs OF THE ROCK PILE.
LSvaterloo Reportersl
The police played a mean trick this
morning on two old croniee who con
stitute a portion of the floating popula-
ton, anfi t1lerefrom may result the
complete diivorcing of friends. The fell
lows were arrested last evening on
charges Of begging on the streets One
who gave his name as Frank Wilson,
was locked up by officer Dinzy and the
other by Officer shultz. The reports
filsd by the policemen for the eniight-
eminent of the city marshal left no
doubt that the men We're partners and
were working their CRAFTS together. all
tho for the moment they had become
separated.
This morning the men We're brought
before the mayor by acting city mar
shall, j., F. kirgaman. Individual trials
We're given them The first arraigned
was Wilson. "A serious case was made
against him by Policeman Kingamans
who read the report charging him with
Begging on the streets. insulting i.edes-
striane who refused the assistance. and
winding up with the recommendation
that the prisoner be given a long time
sentence OF breaking stones and carry
ing ashes out of the basement Ct the
city hall.
completed the reading of the charge
than Wilson began TO beg even harder
than he was doing when he wac run
in the night before. Never was a prayer
more eloquent. The respectful manner

the officers had no doubt the mar was
In earnest. The mayor asked several
we'll directed questions as to the
amount of stone on hand TO be broken
and all the time the prisoner would
tfidget in his seat and cast furitive
chances from one to the other. When
ever he could find an opening he would
break forth with a torrent of promises
to get out of town III you will only

Apparently the officers We're influ-

noticed this he took renewed courage

him his liberty. He started for the

anxiously about how much time the

Geo. E Nichols Is Broken Hearted
and a Sick Man.
FINDS FRIENDS ALL AROUND
A Party From lonia Have Arr Ied
Nichols Denies the Truth of the
AffidaVits-He Was a Candidate for
Attorney General.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Oct. 1910 a
great extent the disclosures impli-
eating State Senator Geo. E. Nichols
in the attempted bribery of witnesses
in the Salisbury case, has overshad-
owed the interest in the direct trial Of
the matter at issue. Senator Nichols,
who is generally understood to have
entered the case only to aid his friend
and former partner, Il. +. McGaTry, is
finding his friends on every side in
spite of the ugly look affairs have
been taking. Yesterday 20 Of the SEN
ator's Ionia friends, headed by eX-
Atty.-Gen. A. A. Ellis, appeared here,
assuring him of their support and be-
lief in his innocence.
He himself insists on denying the
truth of the affidavits of Garman and
Cameron, and, on the advice of his
companion attorneys, has retained his
share of the work of Salsbury's de-
tense, most of the ross-eXamination
falling to his share.
In spite Of his display of nerve,
Nichols is a broken-hearted man. He
is said TO have paced his room the en-
tire night after the charges were
made and was to all appearances a
very sick man. His wife has been sent
for and will be with him during his
stay in this city
Nichols had announced himself as a
candidate for the Office of attorney
general He acknowledged in a recent
interview that it was not for the small
salary attached TO the office that he
desired the place, but for the expert
ence.
Il am still a young man" he added,
"and ambitious, and ought to have a
great future before me.
The tension under which he is labor
ing was shown by one of the incidents
of Monday.
The defense tried to establish that
Cameron was sore upon the crowd
and had fixed up this testimony to
come back and get even with them.
"You were sore about not getting that
money, weren't your" asked Mr.. Mich
OILS.
Just a minute" interrupted Mr..
Hyde of the prosecution. Il want to
ask Mr.. Nichols what money he
means" The pointed allusion caused
the blood TO rise in Nichols's cheeks.

helped Pratt take from the files let

Pratt said search of his files was to
be made, and he did not want letters
to get TO the grand jury.

swore that Pratt showed him Adams's
letter, returning drafts, but subse-
quently said he had made up with
