GOUDIE UNDER ARREST
Alleged Principal In the Liverpool
Bank Frauds Captured.
DETAILS OF THE ROBBERY.
Counsel For the Bank Furnishes the
First Authentic story of How 1t
Was Looted to the Amount
of $S5O,OOO.

London, Dec. 2. Thomas Peterson
Goudie, the bookkeeper of the Bank of
Liverpool who disappeared at the time
of the discovery that the bank had
been robbed of about $S50,00O, has
been captured at Bootle, near Liver.
pool, where he had been in hiding.
Goudie had f3O0 in his pocket when
arrested. He will be brought to Lon
don for trial with the other men taken
into custody in connection with the
robbery, two of whom, Dick Burge, the
pugilist and f. T. Kelly, the bookmak
er Of Bradford have been remanded
after partial hearing of the evidence
against them.
When Burge and Kelly were brought
up for the hearing hundreds of people
clamored for admission into the small
courtroom at Bow street, hardly capa-
BILE of holding those directly interested
in the case.
Charles Mathews, counsel for the vic
timized bank, in presenting the case
against the prisoners gave the first au-
thentic details Of the frauds. He ex-
planned that there had been twenty
seven checks forged. The first two
affected Goudic. The next twelve, rep
resenting in value f25,300, would, he
said, be mainly traced to Kelly. An
other seven checks, aggregating to3,'
600, would he first traced to Kelly
and afterward to Kelly and another
person not yet before the court.
LaNrie Marks Part.
Six other checks, valued AT f91 900
would, he declared, be traced directly
to Lawrie Marks, who paid them in to
his bank accounts. But some Of the pro
ceeds We're also traceable to Burge
The whole amount had been drawn out
of the Bank of Liverpool by checks
drawn to the account of r. w. Hud
son.
Evidence was then presented Il
show that Lawrie Marks opened al
account with the Credit Lyonnais a
the end of 1899. In October, 1901, III
paid in the first Hudson check, amount
ing to $4,000. Later he introduced
Burgc, who opened an account Afte
the first Hudson check was paid in. il
October, Marks deposited two NOR
Hudson checks, for f16.0Oo. ON Nov.
Burge. accompanied by Marks, caShed
check for fl3000, receiving ET,O00 i
notes. The same day the identich
notes We're deposited by James Names
whom Marks had in the meanwhile IN
troduced at the bank,
Marks, Nov. 4, deposited a Iudso
check for 100000, and Nov. Burg
presented a check for E15,OOO, draw
by Marks in his favor while Nance
the same day cashed another of Mark'
checks for 100000.
A witness testified to a number c
similar transactions. When the ban
was enjoined, the amounts standin
to the credit of the accused were
Burge, f135S9; Marks, El09O1, all
Mances, f159S7.
The latter had also tlS0O0 worth
consols.
According to the books, Marks r
ceived ES2,OOO from the Bank Of Ii
erpool, of which amount ti7WO WI
transferred TO Burge and 100000
ManceS, leaving Marks El5,NOO.

LUCKY ONES FILE ON CLAIMS.

Ell ReEo, O.. T., Aug. 1.-THE last act
in the opening of the Indian lands in
the Kiowa-Comanche reservations be-
gan yesterday, when the winners in
last weeks lottery were permitted to
Tile on their claims. The filing began
in Ell Reno for the Ell Reno district
and at Fort Sill for the Lawton dis
trict. AT each place 125 of the lucky
ones were permitted to file in the
order that their names were drawn
from the wheels. The filing at the
rate of 250 will continue daily until
the entire 1900 claims have been
disposed of. 1t is estimated that at
least 1000 or 5000 claims drawn at
the lottery will never be filed on.
There will undoubtedly be lively
scramble for them by the thousands
of people who did not win in the lot
terry. Also the auction sale by the fed
eral government of town lots at Ana
darko, Hobart and Lawton began. At
each place thousands of people have
awaited for days the opportunity to
purchase lots and begin business.

COMBINE IS BROKEN
DETECTION OF HERRloTT's MEN
ADDS 70 cUMMlNs' CHANG
Des Moines Candidate Gains Fifty
six votes-Fied is Working Hard
and Declare That His Claims Of
Victory are Premature.

Cedar Rapids. Ia, Aug. 1.-THE com
bination against Cummins was broken
last night by large number of the
Herriott delegates, who abandoned
their man and went over to
the Des Moines candidate. The
counties in the movement are:
Adair. Audubon, Cass, Montgomery,
Shelby and Pottawattamie. They will
bring to Cummins an increase of Sc
votes on the first ballot and 76 on the
second.
When the conference met number
of them announced that the arrange
ment entered into Monday with the
steering committee was not agreeable
to them and that they did not like the
looks of things.
They wanted Herriott to agree to a
combination with Cummins men, but
he preferred to run his own campaign
The delegatesthen announced that they
intended to come out for Cummins.
Looks Like cummins.
The detection of Herriott's men is
considered to practically settle the
nomination in favor of Cummins. His
opponents conceded to him 750 votes
on the first ballot. while he claims
791. The break last night, even by
the admission of his opponents. gives
him S2S on the second ballot, while ac
cording to his own estimate he will
have at least SAT on the first ballot
and total of 500 on the second, while
but S21 votes are necessary to choice
The steering committee, notwithstand
ing the falling away in Herriott's VOTE
will stick to Hartman and make their
fight under his name.
Chairman McMillin of the steering
committee denied positively that any
tender of the gubernatoriai nomina
tion had been made by his committee
to Congressman Lacey. Neither would
it be offered to him. Mr.. McMillin
asserted: "We will go before the con
vention with the names of Hartman
Trewin and Conger and will make
the best of all of them that we posi-
bly, can, and in our opinion we will
down Cummins. Herriott will stick tc
the last probably, without making a
formal withdrawal, but he is out of it."
If the steering committee is able to
make up the permanent organization
of the convention it will place Con
gressman Hepburn in the chair.
At midnight Herriott declared posi-
lively that he would not withdraw
The Cummins people made him for
NAL offer of the second place on the
ticket, which he refused, saying that
he was candidate for governor and
not for lieutenant governor.

Dodge, generally named as ultimate
