SLIM PICKING FOR CREDITORS.
Estimated That They Will Receive
is Mills on the Dollar.

Cleveland. O., Dec. 2.-According to
the most accurate estimate of the es-
tate OF Mrs. Chadwick that is possible,
before the receiver has Investigated
her assets and reported on his findings
of the court, her creditors as whole
will receive about one and one-half
mills on the dollar. Iri Reynolds will
receive the whole of the assets visible
at the present time. They may be
funds In reserve somewhere, as there
may be additional creditors, but 1t is
not expected by bankers and attorneys
who have the greatest knowledge OF
her affairs that any more large loans
will be developed
The extent of her operations is now
believed to be approximately as fol-
lows:

sMOOT HEARING
Senate Committee Resumes Taking
Of Testimony Today--A Number Of
Important Witnesses Are Heard.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The hearing
Of the protest against Reed Smoot, ju-
nior senator from Utah retaining his
ser In the senate, were resumed today
by the committee on privileges and
elections. The room was crowded the
women predominating among the spec
tators. The first witness called was
Rev. j. M. Buckley, editor of the Chris
tian Advocate.
Buckley told Of visits to Utah in
1901 and again last June. He said he
said he had made inquiries concerning
Smoot and had found no one who said
one word against him.. Everywhere
Smoot was given an excellent char
acter. George Reynolds, a Mormon,
testified he is first assistant superin-
tendent of the Mormon church Sunday
school, formerly clerk or recorder of
the endowment house. This relation
was severed in 1871. In answer to
questions Reynolds said the marriages
were performed with dead persons
in the endowment house.
"The church grants divorces to those
who have been married for time and
eternity, but does not divorce legal
marriages until the courts have acted, !"
said Reynolds. plural marriages are
not recognized by the courts, therefore
the church does not consult the court
in granting divorces in cases of such
marriages" Foraker asked if such di-
vorces are allowed from dead persons.
I'm few instances only I should say"
said the witness.

GUILTY OF MURDER
Jury at vinton convicts Frank seery
Of Murder in the Second Degree for
the Killing of Michael Moynahin at
WaIford.

Special to Times s-Republican.
Vinton, Dec. 12. - The jury In the
trial Of Frank Seery charged with the
murder of Michael Moynahin at WAL
ford brought in verdict of murder in
the second degree. The case was rec
emily reviewed in these dispatches.
some citizen, killed Moynahin with a
piece of gas pipe. Seery had become
angered because he was not allowed the
use of telephone, the central Office
for which was at Moynahin's. He pick
a quarrel with Moynahin, who, the evi-
dence showed tried to avoid Seery. The
case attracted much attention in this
part of the state.
Vinton Dec. 12,--Another sensation
was produced in the Seery murder
trial Saturday, during the progress Of
the arguments of County Attorney
kirkland to the jury, and one that may
cause rehearing of the entire case
should the defendant be convicted,
May Secure New Trial.
County Attorney kirkland in his elo-
quent and convincing plea for convic-
ton of the prisoner at the bar uttered
some statement that the defense took
exception to, relating to the failure of
the defendant to take the stand in his
own behalf, and while there is diff
ference of opinion as to the nature Of
the remarks and whether 1t was a re-
versible error or not, the attorneys for
the accused man saw an opportunity
of securing a new trial after the con-
viction Of their client, which nearly
everyone who heard the case thru be-
lieves almost certain, and made ex-
ceptions to the language used by the
county attorney, claiming that it was
a reversible error. In case of a ver-
dict for the state, and the judges rul-
ing on the language used is such as to
sustain the conditions of the defense,
the entire case will have to be tried
over again.
Aside from this affair the day was
devoid of incident, the entire time be-
ing consumed in the argument of the
attorneys and the instructions of the
Judge, that were completed at 2:35 p.
M, when the case was given into the
hands of the jury.
An early verdict is not EXPECTED and
it is stated that this fact has been
borne out in the action of one of the
Jurors who it is said has sent word
to his family that they need not ex-
nect him home until this morning
sometime. indicating that there was
some trouble in arriving at a verdict.
