BELMONT And TOILETTE
ACQUITTED OF LARCENY
Were Charged With Theft
of Jewelry.
Story Told by the Two Marines in Court
Given Credence by
the Jury.

Harry o. Belmont and Arthur Toilette
were acquitted yesterday N Criminal
Court No. / of the charge of larceny
made against them by Miss Annie Farley.
The case was submitted to the jury at
$3.50 O'Clock, and verdict was returned
at $3.50.
According 10 the story told by Miss
Farley. on the night of January II last she
was taken sick in the street and ap-
pealed to the defendants, both of whom
are members of the Marine Hospital
Corps, for assistance. She stated that
they placed her in a cab, and after driving
around the city took her TO a boarding
house kept by colored woman, on Eir-
ginia Avenue southwest. There, she de-
clared, the marines robbed her of guam
tity OF iewclry and some money. She
reported her loss to the police on tine day
following and Belmont AID Toilette were
arrested and some money which Miss Far
ley claimed was hers and her watch were
found in their possession.
The defendants testified in their own
behalf and told ,orroborati,e stories.
They said that they met Miss Farley on
the night mentioned and went with her To
the boarding house referred to by her in
her testimony. There they all stayed for
some hours, and when the defendants
we're leaving Mrs Farley gave them the
jcwelry to keep for her Until she sa "
them again. At the same time she made
IN appointment TO meet one of them on

defendants. however, prevented their
keeping the engagement and returning

QUESTION OF BARROWs' BOND.
Officials Puzzled as to Which Company
Is Responsible.

An interesting feature Of the case OF
II. A. Barrows, the former disbursing
clerk of the Census Bureau, who admitted
shortage of 1880 in his accounts last
Friday. developed yesterday. when it was
learned that Mr. Barrows was not only
bonded in the American Surety Company,
of New York, for $4,000, but was also
bonded by fidelity and trust company
for five times that amount. This is cars
ing considerable speculation as to the
amount of money for which the surety
company is responsible.
At the time the disbursements in the
Census Office were far in excess of their
present size, Mr.. Barrows gave a fidel
ity bond for s250,000, under law which
provided that he should furnish bond
five times as great as the amount of the
money for which he was responsible. In
consideration of the magnitude of this
fidelity bond the salary of the disbursing
clerk was raised to $1,000
Later when the amount Of money dis
bursed was not so great the Director Of
the Census waived this bond, as was his
right 10 do when in his judgment it was
no longer necessary. The question nov
is whether this waiver has the retroactive
effect of canceling the fidelity bond al
ready furnished by Mr.. Barrows, or
whether il has merely the effect of not
| compelling his successor to furnish a like
/ bond.
The Treasury experts have finished their
/ examination of the finances of the office.
and their report will likely be forwarded
/ by the Director of the Census to the
Comptroller today.

LABOR MEN PARDONBD
BY THE PRESIDENT
Being Punished for Contempt
in Virginia Court.
Violated Order of Judge in Going on
Mine Property in Hands of
Receiver.

President Roosevelt yesterday pardoned
BraIey. Cass Braley. and David Clarkson,
who were sentenced to jail by Judge
Henry G. Mcdowell, of the Western dis
trict of Virginia, on Z charge OF contempt
for attempting 20 organize unions among
the mine employees of mines operated by
court receiver in Wise county. The case
is of especial interest because Haddow
snd Weber are organizers of the United
Mine Workers, ard Judge McDowell's step
in oonvicting them was considered rash
blow at the cause of organized labor. He
assumed that the purpose of the United
Mine Workers was not legal.
The men were adjudged guilty OF the
charge Of contempt on March 2s. For si-
or eight months prior to that time Had
dow and webcr had been working among
the miners. The two Braleys and Clark
son were miners and members OF the
United Mine Workers. They assisted in
the work of union formation. Prompted
by fear that these won over to the union
would attempt to drive non-unionists
away from work. an injunction was prayed
and issued forbidding any person from
interfering with The relations between the
operators and their employees.
Representative Lacey interested.

Haddow is a constituent. interested him.
self in the natter. together with Rep
resentative otcy of Virginia and Repre-
sentative Cannon of Illinois, of whom
Weber was 4 constituent.
At their request the President requested
the Attorney General to investigate the
matter and the result was the announce
ment of the pardon yesterday. No COM
ment was made by the President on the
decision of Judge Mcdowell. but the De-
partment of Justice failed to find any lib
eral basis for his action.
Weber and Haddow were sentenced 10
serve six months each in the city Jail OF
Lynchburg. Cass Braiey and David Clark
son were sentenced to two months each.
and Tom Braley to one month In the Wise
county Jail.
Attorney General Knox made the follow
ing report on the cases to the President:
Mr.. Knox's Opinion.
"The facts in this case are fully set
forth in the brief Of the pardon attorney.
81 am unwilling to base recommenda-
tion on seeming acquiescence in the view
Of the court that the ultimate purpose OF
the union United Mine Workers. is not
legal and it is proper to express the be-
lief that the difficulties at the mine were
aggravated by the arbitrary discharge OF
union workmen. Nevertheless, l do not
intend by this statement TO pass upon the
final judicial finding of fact that con-
tempt was. committed.
Under all the circumstances, and es-
pecially in view of the punishment al
ready suffered. l recommend that as an
act of executive grace the application for
pardon be granted. +. Z. kNoA;
