ment is as follows;
Zone hundred and twenty-five Jurors
have thus far been summoned to try
Henry Youtsey. or thess 1874 were Goe'
bel Democrats The trial jury consisted
OF l9 Goshsl Democrats. The public has
obtained an inklipg Of how perjury was
used in these trials without the knowl-
edge OF the Judge or commonwealth at

convinced will be found and thus used
in future trials.
"Our cliont was unable to realIzs this
condition and retain his strength or rea-
son, and we have no hope that he could
do so upon another such trial. We en-
tertain no doubt but that we could Sc
cure reversal Of the verdict. His help
less condition during the trial would
alone suffice. But the evils he is the VIC
tim OF aud which we are powerless
against, cannot be remedied by appeal.
They remain present under such con-
ditions 20 thwart justice and convict the
innocent. We have advised our client
not to further endanger his mind and
strength against such odds. but TO await
the time when the wickedness OF these
trials will become so apparent to all
good Dsopls that his deliverance Will
surely come"

An Opportunity for Wilmington DIoneyed

This paragraph from Philadelphia
paper was handed Saturday to q ro-
porter.
H. M. Gibson, chief traffic superintendent
of the Manchester Ship Canal, who has beeh
commissioned to visit the principal ports on
this side of the Atlantic for the purpose of
chester, will spend week at Montreal. He
will then come to Philadelphia.
In the opinion of the man who had
noticed the clipping, it embodies a
great oppor tunity for this city. He
held that certain Of the moneyed men
of Wilmington would make splendid
move in thecity Is interests in endeavor-
ing to secure the proposed lines to
Manchester. He suggested that these
gentlemen secure an interview with
Mr.. Gibson and lay before him the
advantages Of Wilmington for such
enterprises, and their willingness to
erect terminal wharves, and grain
elevator for the purpose Of accommo-
dating the lines. The fact that Will
mington is about 60 miles nearer the
sea than Philadelphia, was, he felt, d
strong argument to be used to Mr..
Gibson.
In order to carry out his suggestion
for a grain elevator, an expenditure of
perhaps half a million dollars would
be needed, but he held that 1t would
be most valuable Investment, and one
frauRht with great possibilities for the
growth OF Wilmington.

TIE PRESIDENT AND DELAWARE.

A Washington correspondent writes
thus of President Roosevelt and his
attitude towards appointments In Della
ware:
President Roosevelt also has op-
portunity in the Delaware Republican
complication for developing a policy in
appointments. The situation in that
State has for years been hard one for
the national administration TO handle.
The Addicks and anti-Addicks factions
have steadily and fiercely fought each
other, and President Mckinley was al
ways placed in an embarrassing posi-.
tion as to what to do in appointments.
For several years neither faction had
been permitted TO fill the Federal
offices, and the postmasters were named
by the Representatives, whose right to
do that Is recognized. ~
Representative Ball OF Delaware,
saw the President Thursday, but did not
touch upon appointments, simply pay
ing his respects. What President Roose-
velt's attitude to Delaware appoint-
ments will be is not known, but there
is suggestion that he has no exceed
ing friendly feeling for Mr.. Addicks. An
important appointment in Delaware
that will show Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude
must be made some time. 1t is that Of
Collector OF the Port at Wilmington.
The position is still filled by DIR. Cooper,
Democrat, who was appointed by
President Cleveland. The factional
strife has prevented the position going
to q Republican. VI

riage died IN rapid succession. Her

compelling her to sign checks for large
sums Of money. Howard X. Sloan,
Henry Wallace j. Knight Findlay and
Oscar s. Dunlap have been arrested
here. The victim whom they are
accused ofrobbing is Mrs. Mabel Good
rich.
Last Monday she went to police head
quarters and told her story, which was
substantially as follows: A young man
whom she knew proposed some time
ago q drive through Paramount Park
clothes and to wear ALI her diamonds
and other iewelry because when they
returned from the drive he intended to
take her to the firest dininRroom in
the city and wanted her to ''shiue"
with other women in. the place. She
accepted and the next day went out
with him In a carriage with a coach
man on the box wearing stylish livery.
At lonely place in Fairmount Park
the carriage was stopped by man who
represented. himself as d, Clarence
Gibboney, secretary and attorney of
the Law and Order Society of this city.
This man told Mrs. Goodrich he had a
warrant for her arrest, but that tie
case could be fixed He was invited
Into the carriage and the next moment
Mrs. Goodrich was gagged and blind
folded.
Continuing her story, she said she
was driven somewhere she did not
know, but she noticed that the men
took her into building where fire

were standing. She was kent prisoner
from Tuesday night until Friday night
without anything to eat or drink, and

money she had deposited Ia the Third

her on another long drive and put her
out of the carriage at Tenth and Poplar
streets, about mile from her house.
Getting some clues the police arrested
j. Knight Findlay. He was charged
with the crime, the police say, and broke
down and implicated three others.

that he bad impersonated the coach
man, that Sloan acted the part of At
torney Gibboney. that Dunlap was the
person who took Mrs. Goodrich driving
and that Wallace had rented house 10
Germantown, where Mrs. Goodrich was
to have been held captive. All the
jewelry, the police state, was recovered.
