MILLER ON THE STAND.
DESCRIBES THE SWINDLE.
No Testimony Yet About Armons
Share of Syndicate Money.

The places OF the two Jurors who were excused
On Monday were filed yesterday and. as was
expected William r. Miller, the head OF the
Franklin Syndicate. took the stand against his
ex-counsel. Robert r. Annmon. IL the sham Of
the 800 per cent syndicate was not fully ex-
posed at MflIer's conviction IL was yesterday.
when Miller summed up what he did In saying.
"Au I did was 10 sit at my desk and receiys
money"
District Attorney Mott IN presenting ths case
said IL would be shown that when the fraud OF
the Franklin Syndicate became public Miller
went to Arnnon and was told by him 70 make
a run for it,; that Miller followed this ad-
vice. going to Canada Mr.. Mott declared that
the day before Miller went he turned over 20
Amnnon about S195,OO0. This he would prove
by Miller himself.
Miller who did not look seriously III, said
neither he nor the syndicate had invested any
money in the stocks, bonds. etc. mentioned IN
their circulars as being good speculation Ed
ward Schlessnger became associated with him
in the latter part OF September or the early part
Of October. 1899. The Franklin Syndicate had
never operated In Wall Street After the de-
royitors were paid, what was left over was
counted out. TNo-thirds was put on Mhlers q
desk ana a third, in cash. was put on ScAles5en-
GERS The trial will be continued to-day.

WANT p. r. r. STOCK.
Reported offer Of PozOerful Interest
to Underwriting Syndicate.

II Is reported on good authority that the Speyer-
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. syndicate which has agreed
to underwrite the S75O00.O00 new Pennsylvania
Railroad stock at 12O has received an oner
from an important financial interest TO take
over at a certain percentage above the synol-
cate price, any part or all Of the stock Which
NAV come into the syndicate's possession. IN
fact It Is said that this financial interest would
welcome an opportunity to take all the ne"
stock. which with its present holdings, accord
ing to the report, would probably carry controi
Of the Pennsylvania.
The identity Of the interest which Is rumoreo
to be seeking control of the Pennsylvania is not
disclosed, but Street rumor attributes sucn q
desire to a group Of powerful fnanciers. inciuo-
ing the Rockefeller-Gould interest. in comofna-
tion The possibility Of change OF Pennsyi-
vania control has been frequently discussed
lately in Wall Street, where 1t is thought that q
return of normal conditions may reveal some
important and significant changes in railroad
ownership. ,.., -.
1t has been suggested that the acquisition OF
an influential voice in Pennsylvania by Rocke-
feler and Gould interests would put an END TO
the strained relations which have so long existed
between two of the most important railroad IN
terests in the country.
