TWICE IN JEOPARDY.

Portland. Ore. Dec. 12.-Before Ahe trial of the second of the land fraud conspiracy cases which was to have commenced in United States district court tomorrow Judge c. B. Bellinger will rule on the pleas made today by attorneys for Marie Ware, acquitted. and Horace G. Mckinley and $. A. D. Puter convicted of conspiring to de- fraud the government out of public lands located in township Il south, range east. They contend that if persons are charged with the several acts of conspiracy to defraud and sep arate indictments are returned for each act eaj-h act does not constitute a sep Srate crime, but is presumed to be an act in the furtherance of one conspir- acy embracing all the alleged acts of fraud and conviction or acquittal on all On the ground that a person cannot be twice placed in jeopardy for the same onense they claim immunity from pro- secution on the other conspiracy indict- ments.
 The effect Of this latest move of the defendants to avail themselves of every techmicality of the law, would be- in case they are sustained. to bring to an end all subsequent proceedings against those defendants already convicted of conspiracy. It was the intention Of the defense to bring the matter before the court today, but the non-appearance of Judge Beliinger prevented and it will probably be settled tomorrow

Patterson's counsel protested at the use of the skeleton, asserting that 1t did not compare correctly with the structure of the dead mans body, but his objections were overruled
 The skeleton was used to describe the course of the bullet after 1t en- tered Ycung's body. The prosecution contended that 1t had gone straight to the spine, which the state, lawyers be- lieved proved that Young did not kill himself. Assuming that Young, with the pistol in his right hand, had crossed it over his chest and shot into his left side, the prosecution contended that the bullet would have travelled to the left The fact that it flew straight inward to the spine was advanced as proving that the wound was not self inflicted. Dr. OHanlon was positive that the bullet had taken a straight course to the right
 Lawyer Levy, for the defense. tried to gain an admission that the mus cular covering of the ribs at the point of entrance of the bullet might have oehected It's course, but Dr. O'Hanlon declared that there had been no de- fiection until the bullet struck the spine. When MT. Levy asked Dr. 'O'Hanlon if he had not at first de- c!ared the case to be suicide, the pros ecutors objected and the objection was sustained. Dr. O'Hanlon testified that he had found powder marks on Young's fingers. His testimony as to the course of the bullet was corrob> orated by Dr. Rigims of the Hudson street hospital
 William Stemm testified that the driver of the cab lifted the trap and looked in after the shot was fired. Jus. tice Davis said from the bench that gross impropriety had been committed by the newspapers in publishing what purported to be the views of the jurors concerning the case. He cautioned tn? Jurors not to discuss the testimony even in their own families.

 The aged secretary of the Wade Park bank presented a pathetic picture as he answered the questions which brought out his implicit faith in the woman whose financial transactions have well nigh ruined him in fortune and caused him such infinite trouble. He gave evidence, toe, that he still be- ieVes his trust was justified. Only one query he attempted to evade. This was when he was asked how much of his personal estate had passed into the possession of Mrs. Chadwick His eyes nlied, and he requested that he be ex- cused from answering. The question was not pushed. Formal indictments voted against Mrs. Chadwick this af- ternoon are based. one upon the Car negie note for S25O, 900 which was made payable at the office of Andrew Car negie in New York city, and the other one on the Carnegie note for $500. .OO9 which was made payable at the Ma tional Bank of Commerce in New York.

CRASHING MARKET
No Effort Made tO SuS-

Greene Consolidated Copper Took a Tunble of Ten Points, the Most Sensational Break Of the Day.

New York, Dec. 12.-Beginning with heavy declines in Amalgamated Cop per. today the stock market was weak throughout the entire session, occa- sional rallies failing to hold prices for more than a few minutes at a time. Although values crumbled away rap idly, there was little excitement in the street. The brokers seemed to have nothing but selling orders, they said, and they did not look beyond that fact, and the recent reckless specula- tion and campaign by newspaper ad- yertisements against a copper stock to find reasons for the drop in prices Money was easy and loans were made freely, but collateral was scrutinized very carefully.
 The market closed weak, with prices generally at the lowest More than 2, 2,0OO, 600 shares of stock changed hands during the day. The selling wave con- tinued nearly all forenoon. with only temporary reaction. and about neon the market showed no further weak ness. An impressive feature cf the forenoon was heavy selling by London houses. Sales of London houses were largest in the steel stocks. There was evidently a good supply of stop loss orders on hand, but the shorts did not fare much worse than some others.
 The violence of the opening declines was so great and so pronounced that many brokers and traders on the floor were overwhelmed with surprise, and for little while were quite non- plussed. Any market support that may have existed was without tho slightest effect.
 One of the most sensational breaks was in Greene Consolidated Copper on the curb. It had been selling around 34 early in the day and had declined only non1fnally. In the afternoon the stock broke nearly ten points to 2:.
