TYNER APPEALS TO ROOSEVELT
TO FRIGHT THE GREAT WRONG''
Now that He Has Been Found Not Guilty Tyner
Wants the President to Withdraw His
Individual Indictment

Washington, June 13.-James N. ~
ner, who was removed from Office as as
sistant attorney general for the POST
Office Department during the investi-
cation of the department, and who was
recently acquitted by a jury, has adj
dressed letter to President Roosevelt,
appealing to the President to right the
great wrong" which he says the Pres
ident has unwittingly done him in ac-
cusing him of gross corruption" and
of taking money from criminals not to
prosecute them.
Mr.. Tyner refers to the Presidents
charges as an extraordinary official
that jury has acquitted him of these
charges asserting that after a full
presentation of his official acts to the
jury his innocence has been affirma-
lively proven. Mr.. Tyners letter con-
tinues:
"Such verdict in a trial brought in
good faith would ordinarily be a suffi-
cient vindication of an accused party,
but unfortunately, in this case your
official proclamation of my assumed
guilt has such weight, and is entitled
to have such weight. that to many il
practically overrides the verdict of the
jury l notice that many of your
friends do not hesitate to say that your
verdict given before trial, is more to
be relied upon than the verdict of court
and jury after trial. Against such in
justice 1 have no recourse. except by
appealing to your sense of right and
fair dealing.

DROWNED IN A BATH TUB.
Daughter of Judge and Mrs. j. L.
Sweat of WaycrOss.

Daughter of Judge and Mrs. j. L.
Sweat of WaycrOss.
Waycross, Ga, June 13-Mrs. Lula
Crawley, wife of Mr.. E. H. Crawley
and daughter of Judge and Mrs. ]. L..
Sweat, was found nearly dead in a
bath tub a few minutes after 10
o'clock this morning. Life was not
quite extinct when she was found by
her mother, but she died a few min
utes later
Mrs. Crawley had been in ill health
for some time. She was undergoing
treatment by a physician, and it is the
belief of her relatives and physicians
that she was slightly under the infiu-
ence of one of the medicines pre-
scribed for her when she went to take
her bath. The warm water. it is be-
lieved, had a quieting effect, or that
she tainted, and the water rising in
the bath tub, caused her death. It
was first reported that she had COM
mitted suicide, but there is little to
substantiate this theory.
Judge Sweat, Mrs. Crawley's father
left last night for the Confederate Vet
Grams Reunion in Nashville, and he
was notified of his daughters death at
noon. He is expected home tomorrow
morning, when the funeral arrange
ments will be made.
The Morning News printed a notice
a few days ago of Miss Sweat's secret
marriage to Mr.. Crawley last June.

EARLY RELEASE
OF PERDICARIS
EXPECTED IN WASHINGTON.
ROT ONE DAY MORE FOR HIM TO
REMAIN CAPTIVE.

Tomorrow, if All Goes Well, 1t Is
Believed That RaisuIi Will Free
the American He Is Holding for
RansOm-The Sultan of Morocco
Has Yielded to the Demands of the
Brigand Chief-French Have Been
Active.
Washington, June 13.-If all goes
well, Perdicaris will be released next
Wednesday. 1t is estimated that it
will require this length of time for the
mission, which has gone to his relief
with the ransom demanded to reach
the brigands camp.
M. Jusserand. the French ambassa-
dor, was at the State Department to-
day and had a talk with Secretary Hay
about the Moroccan situation. The
ambassador has heard from his govern
ment that the Sultan will grant the
brigands' terms and, indeed, some of
Raisulfs men who were in prison have
already been released as an evidence of
the good faith in which the terms are
being met. 1t is possible that some of
the released brigands may have been
sent with the mission.
The French government has been ac-
tive in conducting the negotiations for
Perdicaris' release, and this govern
ment will express it's appreciation of
these efforts as soon as he is free. 1t
is also expected that the American fleet
at Tangier will not tarry long after
Raisulfs prisoners return to Tangier.

st. Louis, June 13.-It became known
to-day that an attempt had recently
been made to blow up the Church Of
st. Anthony, which is in charge Of
Franciscans. A stick Of dynamite was
discovered under the altar, attached
to a fuse running to a candle.
Inability of an attendant to light the
candle to which the fuse was attached
led to the discovery of the fuse and
the dynamite. The fuse was so ar
ranged that IL the candle had burned
for a certain time it would have ignited
the. fuse and caused an explosion
which might have destroyed the build
ing and caused great loss of life.
