in the. employment Of H. G. Berry as a
spy. Berry was called perjurer. Sena-
tor Patterson argued that, while the mo-
ton to discharge the present panel of
jurors WAS out Of the ordinary in that
it was not regular challenge to the ar
raignment, the inherent power of the court
required that it should take action as a
matter of protection t. its own integrity
and dignity. He argued that the affida-
Wits showed the tampering with the jury.
Two days ago Harry c. Berry, detec-
tive, filed affidavit in court alleging
that the attorneys for I. Harry Stratton
had tampered with the list of jurymen.
The charge, if sustained. will mean that
a new panel will be called. -' -'.

NO FUNERAL THERE
August Guderjohn Faxed a Funeral
Story to Secure
Loan.
A Sympathetic Pastor Who Lost
Heavily Secures the Mans
Arrest.

Thirty days in the worl<house might
seem severe punishment for buncoing g
stranger out Of the small sum Of SO cents,
but circumstances alter cases, and Rev.
Richard Brown was not heard to express
regret when Judge Dickinson imposed a
sentence of one month upon August Gu
derjohn this morning.
According to the clergymans complaint
Guderjohn sought him one day recently
and, his eyes filled with tears. sobbed out
the story of how his wife lay dead at
Guderjolln's residence, 1914 Sixth street
n and how the last wish expressed by
her ere she departed for that bourne from
which no traveller returns, was that MI
Brown be secured to perform the last SAD
rites at her grave. His breast heaVmg
and his voice failing under the stress of
his emotion. Guderjohn explained that he
was even then his way to the seme-
terry to secure q grave in which to lay all
that was mortal of his beloved spouse
But he was short of money, and II Mr..
Brown could lend him the trif1ing sum Of
SO cents
The good pastor, moved beyond the
power of speech by the strong mans
grief, gave Guderjohn his hand in sym
pathy and slipped so cents in lawful,
genuine funds Of the United States, fur
ther description of which is unknown to
sumplanant' (as the complaint recltes)
in the pocket Of the bereaved husband.
Mr. Brown also promised to call at Gu
derjohns house the next day to perform
the funeral ceremony.
Upon arriving at 1914 Sixth street N,
the following day, however, Mr.. Brown
found no weeping widower, no funeral
train, no body of a dead wife. After
searching the neighborhood for an hour,
in the belief that he had mistaken the
number Mr.. Brown was forced to con-
clude that he had been the victim OF
fraud, a. willy snake in the grass. Guder-
johns crocodile tears had but masked an
inward smile as he took his in-gotten
half-dollar from the guileless pastor.
But worse was to come, for upon return
ing to his own home, Mr.. Brown asserts
that he found so, which had been hidden
there, gone from it's depository Without
accusing Guderjohn of a guilty knOWl-
edge, he put the minions of the law upon
his track, and Guderjohns arrest, ar
raignment conviction and sentence fol-
lowed.
