NO CHANGE OF VENUE.
Eugene A. Georger Must Stand Trial
In Erie County.

Buffalo, May 23.-Justlce Daniel j
Kenefick In special term Of the su.
preme court handed down decision
denying the motion for change OF
venue in behalf of Eugene A. Georger.
late president Of the German bank.
In connection with the decision he
handed down a memorandum in which
he set forth that although there might
be some criticism among some of the
depositors, there is a disposition
among even these to have the civil
and criminal responsibility of the de
fendant and his associates fairly and
judicially determined and that if there
be any prejudice 1t will readily show
Itself in securing jury, and the court
may then grant the relief which the
defendant seeks now. The memoran'
dun follows:
The defendant asks that the place
of trial of the indictment against him
be changed to another county, on the
ground that he cannot obtain a faiI
and impartial trial here. | have ex.
amined with some care the voluminous
papers presented on this application
1t appears therefrom that the failure
of the German bank, and the causes
which led to such failure, have been
constant subject Of newspaper com.
ment and of public discussion since
the bank closed its doors.
Many of the articles in the local
columns of the press are somewhat
sensational in character, after the pre-
vailing fashion of newspaper report
ing, but the editorial discussions are,
on the whole, conservative and tenn
perate.
It appears that the defendants ad
ministration of the affairs of the Ger
man bank while he was its president
and his action in selling his stock to
the persons who were in control OF
the bank at the time of its failure
have met with some public criticism
and have engendered some prejudice
on the part of the depositors of the
bank.
believe, however, that even among
the depositors there is disposition
to have both the civil and the criminal
responsibility of the defendant and
his associates fairly and judicially de-
termined, and that the larger number
of the depositors do not approve of
the grotesque antics INDUCED in at a
recent meeting of the creditors organ
ization.
However that may be, do not be.
lieve that outside of the depositors
there is :ny such feeling of prejudice
permeating this great community as
will prevent the defendant obtaining
here an impartial determination Of the
charges made against him. If any
such prejudice exists it will readily
show itself In securing jury, and the
court may grant the relief then which
the defendant seeks now.
The motion is denied.

Changes In Insurance Law.

Several important changes in the
insurance law in New York state are
made by legislative bills which went
on the statute books by virtue of the
governors signature. The new laws
affect every branch of the insurance
business. Senator Brackets bill was
introduced to prevent insurance com.
panies from taking advantage of policy
holders by insisting that the state.
ments of the company's employees who
wrote the policy were binding upon the
holder. 1t forbids the insertion in the
policies of any provision that the com.
pany's employe is the agent of the
person insured.

COLLISION ON ELEVATED.
Shattered Cars Narrowly Escaped Pre-
cepitatlon to Ground Far Below.

New York, May 23.-Twenty per-
sons were injured, six Of them so Sc
riously that they were sent to hos
pitfalls, AMI more than 100 persons mar
rowly escaped death or serious injury,
when a swiftly moving train crashed
into two others on the high elevated
structure on the Third avenue line at
133rd street and Alexander avenue.
Among the most seriously injured
was Clara Jennings, 32 years old, of
Rochester, N. Y. She was taken to
Lincoln hospital suffering from shock
and cut by falling glass
Only the best of good fortune pre-
vented a terrible tragedy. After the
crash the ends of the shattered cars
hung far over the side of the elevated
structure at one of the highest points
on the line. Had they moved a few
inches more they would have pitched
to the ground far below with awful
results.
Good fortune also kept the wrecked
cars free of the heavily charged third
rail. As they bounded from the track
they rolled away from the deadly rail
and settled down, safely but insecure
ly, at the most distant point possible
on the narrow trestle.
Two trains were standing on the
trestle waiting for the drawbridge
over the Harlem river to close, when
a third train ran around a curve and
crashed into them, The motorcar of
the third train and the rear car of the
second train were smashed and thrown
half around and the other cars were
tossed about and some of them over
turned
PASSENGERS were thrown violently to
the floors of the cars and many Of
them were severely cut by glass which
flew from the shattered windows.
The scene which followed was wild
beyond description Men and women
fought to escape from the cars which
they feared might pitch to the street
below any minute. A fire alarm
brought several ladder companies to
the scene, but by the time they had
arrived nearly every man who had
been on the train had reached the
ground by scrambling down the iron
pillars which support the elevated
structure. The firemen carried down
several women and number of per-
sons who had been injured too severe
ly to help themselves.
Among the passengers in one of the
wrecked trains was Miss Anna Wall,
a trained nurse of College Point. l.. |.
Miss wall dressed the wounds Of sew
eral severely injured persons, tearing
to pieces her own white petticoats for
bandages.
when the crash came the men in
the car acted like beasts. They made
a mad rush for the doors and paid no
attention to the women who had been
thrown to the floor by the shock. One
man climbed through a window and
another tore a woman's skirt off in his
desperate efforts to get out.
81 saw one woman With baby in
her arms pleading with man to take
the child and save it, but he replied:
why, I've got all can do to take care
of myself
The motorman of the rear train has
been arrested and will be held pend
ing an investigation of the cause of
the disaster.
