the Statute Would Be Waived.
Chicago, Sept 22.-Four officials ;of
the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Pack
ing company of Chicago were fined an
aggregate of $4,000 by Judge Hum.
phrey in the United States district
court here during the day. The fines
followed plea of guilty to indict-
ments charging conspiracy to accept
railroad rebates. The defendants
were: Samuel We'll of New York, vice
president of the company; B. S. Cusey,
traffic manager; Vance D. Skipworth
and Chess E. Todd, assistant traffic
managers.
Mr.. We'll was fined $4,000, the
other three $4,000 each.
With the entering of the plea the
least one of the cases is Immediately
settled the life of Samuel We'll, who
is vice president Of the company and
is one of the defendants, is in jeop-
ardy. He is said to be a nervous wreck
and fears were entertained fo. his life
if he had been allowed to continue
under the stigma of an Indictment.
The plea was entered, it is declared,
after complete understanding had
been reached between counsel for the
defendants and Attorney General
Moody. While in Chicago the attor-
ney general was apprised of the con-
dition of Vice President We'll and, it
is said, agreed to the entry of a plea
of guilty with the understanding that
the Jail provision of the law under
which the indictment was returned
should be waived and merely a fine
imposed. The same concession was
made in the case of the other three
defendants.
The four defendants were charged
with unlawfully combining and agree
ing to solicit rebates for the Schwarzs-
child & Sulzberger company from six
railroad companies.
Charges were made that the defend
ants conspired with each other in pre-
senting supposed claims for damages
which were in reality claims for re-
bates.
Mr.. Max Sulzberger paid the fine,
giving his check for $25,000.

HOME LAST NIGHT.

Z HlLLSBORO, Ohio, June 5.-The
lone Of Edward Dimes, farmer liv.
Ing two miles north Of Hillsboro, was
the scene last night3of what is now
thought to have been a double murder
and suicide. When Dimes and his
wife, who had been in Hillsboro, re.
turned home and entered the house,
they stumbled over what proved to be
the dead body Of David Baldwin, q
young man whom Dimes had taken in
about two years ago and cared for as
II he were a son.
A further examination disclosed the
fact that in an upstairs bedroom the
daughter Of Mrs. Dimes, Miss Madge,
aged 16, and companion, Miss Nellie
Hart, were also dead: The disordered
room showed that struggle had oc.
Cured, and 1t is thought that the
young women fought for their lives to
the last. A revolver was found in
their room, and it was with that weap.
on that both were killed.
