SEEKS PROOF OF !.
T.. HUGE CONSPIRACY
New York District Attorney Is
Working on the Dodge
Morse Case. ~.

New York, Dec. 27.-District Attor-
ney Jerome and his assistants are work
ing hard to obtain corroborative evil
dence in connection with the confession
of Charles =. Dodge, who was brought
here frem Texas on charge Of per-
jury, which grew out of the Morse
Dodge divorce entanglement. I'D :
This confession, according to- current
report, involves a conspiracy on, the
part Of men well known here to defeat
the ends of Justice; but the district at
torney is: understood to take the posi-
ments is s. necessity before any court
or jury, because Dodge admits that he
committed perjury in the case, It is
possible that the case will not be pre-
sented to the grand jury tomorrow as
was at first anticipated.
That it will be extremely difficult
fS1 NJ P a to R% R sRe srpe thy
grand Jury, is admitted by the mem;
bers Of his staff. Dodge, the principal
witness, 1t is realized, is a seH-con.
fessed perjurer, and his testimony will
have little weight with any jury. Ev
erything he says will have to be cor
| roborated, and it is in finding evidence
which he will tell that the prosecutor
is finding his greatest difficulties. =
| Mr.. Jerome, it is known, believes i'm
plicitly that men whose names will b,
laid before the grand jury. are guilty
Of one Of the worst conspiracies eve
Matched in this city,. But to prove hi
lcontentton by Competent evidence i
ther matter. gs' e = sss {
| So far as Mr.. Jerome is concerned
he would like to have indicted fou
lawyers and a man well known j
financial circles in this city. To thi
end he is using every means at his com
mand which will develop the evidenc
he is after. But 50 far, it is said, he ha
not obtained proof, which in his opinion
will warrant jury in convictmg.
To what extent the wealthy widow
for the obtaining of whose hand, it i
said, the entire conspiracy was Matched

figure in the case eventually is certain
for it was her marriage to one of tn
alleged conspirators which was sough

exclaimed as he looked up from his
newspaper. Do you believe any one
ever paid any such price, Maria?'
"I'm sure 1 don't know, James," she
returned without stopping her needle
work even for moment "Does the
paper say that much was paid?"
YES. There's an article on valuable
dogs, and it speaks of one that was
sold for $1,000. 1 don't believe it,
1t may be true, James," she said
quietly. Some of these well bred ami
mails bring fancy prices, and there's no
particular reason why the paper should
lie about it."
Il know that, Maria. But just think
of it! Just try to grasp the magnitude
Of that sum in your weak, feminine
mind. You don't seem to realize it.
Five thousand dollars for a dog! Why,
hang it. Maria, that's more than Pm

An Insulted scotchman.

The following story heard at Killar-
ney shows how differently an Irishman
and Scotchman will take Joke. An
Englishman who had been fishing in
the lower lakes said to his boatman:
"An extraordinary thing happened to
me some time ago. 1 lost pair of scis-
sors out Of my fishing book at the end
of the lake. The next year was fish
ing here again and hooked and killed a
very large pike. I felt something very
hard inside him, so I opened him, and
what do you think it WASP" "Begorra,
your honor, I'd think it might be your
scissors only for one thing" "What is
that?" asked the other. "Its only just
this, your honor, that there never was
pike in any of the Killarney lakes
since the world began"
Afterward the same Englishman tried
the same story on gillie in Scotland
When he asked him, "What do you
think was inside the pike?" the gillie
replied: "Your scissors and nae CUTS,
and the Duke Of Argyll-and he's far
greater man than the king-would not
have insulted me sac. I'll. fish nae
mare wi ye." And off he walked

David made good use Of those four

planned. Never mind" David said
cheerfully. ut is you 1 wish to see"
Her clear eyes were raised to his in

"Will you keep your word" he said
gently, "and take me?"
My word" she murmured wonder
ingly.
Yes. Before saw you heard you
tell Lizzie that you were coming down
stairs and you would take me your

his eyes now.
Patty's face flushed. "You know l

sake of little David?"
