NEWS PROvIDENCE. T.. FRIDAY. JUNE 3. 1904
SINCE DEC. IS
HE STOLE
$4,000

New Haven, Conn, June s.-Ths ap-
proximate amount OF cash embezzled by
Douglas NJ. Smith, teller OF the National
Tradesmen's bank OF New Haven. since
about December I5 last. Is slightly in ex-
cess OF $4,000, according to n statement
by President William L. Fields OF the
bank today. Mr.. Fields said there was no
truth in the report that Smith had alb
stracted securities from the bank and
given them to brokerage firm as col
lateral for speculative ventures.
He added that the examination OF the
securities OF the bank has been completed
and every paper 1bund in Its proper place.
All that remains TO be done now is to
determine the exact amount OF cash miss
Ing by examination OF the depos1tors'
books.
President Fields said that the simplest
way how Smith took the money Is TO say
that he kept back a part OF the deposits
OF customers having large accounts and
increased the figures on his daily cash
balance sheet. The reason that dis
crepancies did not quickly appear was
that Smith did not touch small accounts.
President Fields said that $4,000 OF the
surplus WIS charged of today to profit
and loss leaving a net surplus OF over
$3.50. 900, which will be increased by $685.
900 when Smiths bond is paid
He said that Smiths accounts were all
right In December when the committee
OF tho bank made an examination and
this was born out by an examination two
days later by the Federal bank examiner

A $1,000
VERDICT
SET ASIDE

The verdict OF $1,000 obtained by Kathe-
rlne Quinn against the Union Railroad
company has been set aside by the appel
late division Of the supreme court. A re-
script handed down by the court today is
as follows:
The plaintiff claims that she was
thrown from an open car which suddenly
started as she was attemSting to aIight
therefrom IN such way that her head
struck the curbstone in front Of the Ex-
change bank building on Westminster
street which curbstone was eight feet
from the running board OF the car. In
this statement the plaintiff is corrobora-
ted to some extent by her sister-ni-law,
and another witness
Six witnesses, three OF whom were en-
tirely disinterested testified that the
Uaintiff alighted from the car, and in
walking towards tho sidewalk stumbled
and fell. striking her head upon the curb
stone and that the car was not started
after she attempted to alight therefrom,
until after the accident occurred
ut seems incredible that the accident
could possibly have happened as the
plaintiff and her Witnesses describe IL.
For In order TO have struck her head upon
the curbstone as they testify that she did,
she must have been thrown bodily for
distance OF several feet before striking
the ground And we think II is wholly
improbable that such was the fact"

COX IS
DECLARED
NOT GUILTY

Peter Cox, one OF the striking freight
handlers, quitting work a week ago last
Monday, and who was arrested on the
following day for alleged intimidation Of
Francisco Mowri. an Italian non-union
man. was tried upon that charge in
Judge Sweetlands court today.
The evidence offered did not IN the
slightest degree bear out the averment
OF the warrant that with force and arms
Cox wilfully and manciously interfered
with AIowri In the lawful pursuit OF his
business as a freight handler by intimi-
dating and threatening TO shoot him.
Cox was not called TO the witness
stand, but had he been the diaphonous
character OF the charge would have been
more fully established.
Cox has been in this country and has
n brogue so rich and sweet that IL would
win hLJn' no end Of dollars on the vaude-
Vile stage.
The principal witnesses were three Ital-
ians, one OF whom could 'spk a li'P
Inglis," one could just about manage 10
inform the court what he heard and saw,
while the third gave his story through
tho medium OF an interpreter.
These witnesses went 10 the extent only
OF claiming that Cox told them that they
might not go 10 Work as tney were tdh-
ing the places OF. strikers.
one had a distinct recollection that Cox
said that II they, the non-union men,
would throw up their jobs and go to the
union headquarters each would be given
s5.
None would admit that Cox had made
any threat TO use a gun on the crowd.
A colored stevedore swore that he
heard Cox cay that the Italians ought 10
quit work, II they did not they would
shoot them"
The stevedore ran to the door and look
ed out expecting 10. see collected there a
mob OF strikers: but none was In sight
When he returned TO the freight shed
IL was in No / shed that the trouble be-
gan-the Italians were returning TO their
work
Just whom Cox meant by they when
he talked about shooting, the witness
could not say.
Mr.. Sheehan, counsel for Cox, offered
no testimony and moved that the case be
dismissed
Judge Sweetland said that Mr. Cram
had failed 10 offer anything which would
tend to connect Cox with the making of
any threat and peremptorily ordeTed that
the respondent be dischar9d fr6m Gus
tcdy. which was done.

WILL MATTER
WAS heard

The contest over the will of the late
Johanna Burgess was carried on in the
municipal court OF the city OF Providence
this morning and a large part OF the
afternoon.
In this case the son and daughter OF the
deceased are trying to have will made
by their mother at the home of a niece set
aside. as they claim that their mother
was OF unsound mind at the time. Though
the property at stake is not considerable
there IS n controversy, ii appears, over
the place OF burial, the executor under
the will deciding upon one place apd the
children upon another.
The son, Mrs Lulu Cook tho daughter,
and her husband, Percy Cook. and friends
OF the family as well as a niece, Minnie
Sheridan, took the stand on the side oS-
posing the admission OF the will
In the course OF their testimony II de-
veloped that after the marriage OF her
daughter 10 Mr.. Cooke. Mrs Burgess
went 20 live with them on Congress ave-
nue.. She proved 70 be fault finding and
possessed OF queer notions and great
deal Of trouble to her relatives, although
at different times she spoke In the highest
terms OF her daughter and son, being.
very evidently, proud Of them.
Her daughter became sick and she was
in a very delicate condition, the physician
attending her thought that her health de-
manded that the Irritation and nervous
ness caused by the nagglng OF the mother
should cease.
II was arranged that the mother be
sent 10 ST Joseph hospital where she
had previously desired to go When the
arrangements had been completed a
niece Mrs. Doyle came over and arrang-
ed 20 have Mrs. Burgess come to her
home and appeared for her early one
morning in n hack.
Although she did not 60 on this occa-
sion she did later sending for a carriage
herself Mrs. Cook testified that har
mother WAS no worse on this morning
that she was able TO walk down the
stairs and 10 the hack with the assistance
OF an arm TO lean on,
Mrs. Cook said that she never saw
her mother alive again and that the next
she heard was that the mother was dead.
III had no notification that she was any
sicker or that there was any change In
her condition" she stated, until heard
OF her death
She sair that her mother had acted
rather irrational during the last part OF
her stay and other Witnesses corrobor-
ated her testimony in that respect, Mrs.
Fisher being particularly positive on that
score. The daughter said that she was
very reluctant TO have her mother go 10
Mrs Doyle's but permitted her TO do so
as she wished N. She kissed her as she
went and promised 20 call on her as
soon as she was able also.
At one O'clock the court took a recess
