without Imprisonment. but under the
law am not allowed TO do so. / shall
make the sentence as light as can.
Meanwhile, Mr.. briggs, you are free
to come and go"
Judge Thomas told counsel they
could agree among themselves as to
the day on which sentence should be
pronounced. He denied u motion for a
new trial. and reserved his decision on
motion for a stay pending an appeal.
The extreme penalty which can BE-
inflicted on briggs is iwo years Inn
prisonment and fine OF $4,000.

said:
Did briggs tender his services to the
Brandt-Dent company in connection
with government contract? He had a
perfect right to give his services gra-
tuitously. but df he was q congressman
and received compensation, then ]
charge you that he is guilty"
The defense took exception TO this
part OF the charge.

LONDON DETECTIVES
UNDER ACCUSATION
Charged With Defeating the Course of
Justice in Divorce Case.

LONDON, April 23.-At Bow street
police court today Henry Slater, head
of the best known private detective
agency in England, was held in heavy
bail. charged with conspiring to per-
vert the course of justice. With him
in the dock were Albert Osborne, his
lawyer, and two private detectives en-
ployed by Slater. They also were put
under heavy bail.
The case is the sequel to a sensa-
tional divorce suit in which Slater was
employed to secure evidence against
the husband. A decree was obtained
last November, but the authorities be-
came suspicious and after a re-hearing
this week the decree was rescinded, the
jury finding that the husband was in
duced through the agency of Slater and
Osborne to misconduct himself in Or
der that his wife might obtain d.
vorce. Sir Edward Clarke and other
leading lawyers defended Slater, but
were unable to refute the scathing ac-
cusations of Solicitor General Carson.
who revealed the extraordinary meth
DDS pursued by the detective agency
over $4,000 was paid to Slater and
Osborne for the evidence on which the
decree was originally granted. The So
licitor general showed that it was de-
lberately concocted by the lowest
types Of men and women, who per-
jured themselves for small sums
Osborne. who is a prominent lawyer,
startled English legal circles by saying
he would pay for evidence if he could
not get it in any other manner, and
that he had the right to charge as
much as client would give him, re-
gardless of the fixed charges which ex-
list among all solicitors here.
The solicitor general bitterly de-
nOunced the existence of such an agen-
cy as Slater's, which, he declared.
bounded innocent men and women
with power and regularity which could
scarcely be conceived except for the
present disclosures, which were all the
more alarming as Slater was EMPLOYED

cases The arrests are expected to

any remedial legislation past the SUI
preme court for several years.
Human and Property RIGHTS.
The issue presented today in the
trust question and in all other aues-
tons with which we have to deal is
the question between human rights and
the so-caIled property rights'-or,
more properly speaking, between or
dlnary people and the great CORPORA
lions. Those who believe that prop
erty rights are supreme take the side
OF the trusts. If we have a president
who is in sympathy with this theory
1t means that the Dollar will be given
consideration before the Man. 1t means
that organized wealth can continue to
trample upon the rights of the people:
it means that the Observation-Disclosures Of
government can be used for the pro-
lection of every scheme of exploitation
that the capitalists can conceive.
L. Tor one, am not willing that the
Democratic party shall become the
tool of the corporations; l am not
willing that 1t shall be the champion
of organized wealth And 1t is because
believe that the party has higher
mission than to be the exponent of
plutocracy that / am protesting
against the schemes of those who
would put it into competition with the
RepuDhcan party for the support OF
Wall street financierS. 1t Is for this
reason that 1 protest against mortgag-
ing the party to the capitalists to Sc
cure an enormous corruption fund.
Anxious for Party Success.
IF any who are present tonight or
who read what / say think that I
am trying to interfere with Democratic
success, let me answer that no Demo-
crat is more anxious for the party to
succeed than I am. No one has suf-
fered more from dissensions and di-
visions in the party. and no one, l be-
lieve, is more eager for the country to
enjoy the great benefits which a tri-
umph of real Democracy would bring
But / do not desire that the party shall
win offices only. If that is the only
purpose Of the party, let its principles
be abandoned and its platform simply
declare the party hungry for the pat
ronage. The lesson of 1894 shows the
folly of hoping to win by surrender
to the corporations, but even IL success
could be bought in such q way it
would not be worth the price.
''No one can defend the Democratic
party without defending it's principles.
and its principles ought TO be so clear
~ set forth as to be easily understood.
We ought to appeal to the conscience
