BOGUS COUNT ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH TRYING TO DE-
FRAUD THE STEEL CORPORATION.
Said to Have Conspired to Secure
100000 Tons of Steel Under
False Pretenses.

CHICAGO. Jan. PA conspiracy, by
which the steel trust was TO have been
defrauded out of 100000 tons of steel is
charged against Charles Jules Francois,
alias Count De Neufchateau. who was ar
rested here Monday for alleged failure to
pay a hotel bill. Francois, who first said
he was a French count, then that he was
the son of a wealthy Belgian contractor,
has been negotiating with the officials of
the American Steel and Wire Company for
more than a month. The local company.
being but a branch of the trust, had re-
ferred to headquarters his proposition 10
purchase such a great amount of material
on payment Of only a fraction of the to-
tai price and, ii is said, the deal was just
about to be closed when his arrest came.
The steel, the pseudo nobleman said, was
for the use of the French government,
which he claimed to be representing on
secret mission to buy supplies for the
army. The steel was to be used, Francois
said, in the manufacture of artillery, the
making of armor for battleshps and by
the engineer corps, in which he claimed
to have the rank of brigadier general. for
wires and appliances for battlefield opera
tions. Francois had what he said were
credentials from the French army The
French consul in Chicago has declared
that the seals borne by these letters were
not genuine

LOUISVILLE. Ky, Jan. 81. B. Jewell,

Louisville this afternoon and placed in jail.
Fear of lynchng and mob violence caused

Some strong testimony was introduced
TO controvert the alibi set up by the de-
fense. The proprietor of the Board of
Trade Hotel and numerous witnesses testi-
fed that Howard was not in the hotel at
the time Goebel was shot, and that neither
of his alibi witnesses, Robertson nor Poore
was there. HOward's story TO his where
abouts on the day of the shooting was also
contradicted on several points The attempt
OF the defense TO fasten the shooting on
Henry Youtsey and DR.. w. r. Johnson was
