UNION To TAKE
LOBB'S REMAINS
Carpenters to Arrange for
Funeral of the Maniac
Who Wounded Ten People

The funeral of Thomas Lobb. the in
sane carpenter who wounded nine peo-
pie from window in the United States
Hotel and then blew out his brains on
Wednesday. will be held under the aus
pices of the Carpenters Union, Local
4S3. The date has not yet been set. The
body was asked for yesterday by Guy
Lathrop, secretary of the union, and re-
moved to a private undertaking estab
lishment.
The police are mystified as TO where
Lobb could have got the amount of
money he shot through the gun barrels
into the crowd. The remittance he sent
TO his father in England must have
taken most of what he earned at his
trade Letters from his brothers and
sisters show that his family expected
much from him. He must have shot
away several hundred dollars How he
could have saved that sum out of his
meager wages as a carpenter is a mys-
terry.
1t was learned that Lobb had been
suffering for several years from an in
durable disease The suffering made
him irritable and respondent at times
Letters from several women were
found in the insane carpenters tool
chest. Two of these epistles We're from
Susie Matid Attwoll, whom he knew as
Flossie. She is an English school
teacher. One of the letters informs the
carpenter in polite terms that she can
not give him any hope.
The most pathetic document in the
collection is letter from his mother

A COMMITTEE
TO PLAN EXCHANGE
Dairy Produce Houses Take
Steps to Facilitate
Business.

The preliminary steps toward the for
nation Of a dairy produce exchange In
this city were taken yesterday. Two
score of butter houses were represented
in gathering at the rooms Of the Board
of Trade gW. H. Roussel presided and
explained the necessity for an exchange.
He called attention to some unpleasant
ness that had attended the butter trade
in the last three years. and urged that
everything be forgotten that would tend
to prevent the Institution of an exchange
at this time.
A long and rambling discussion took
place. Tt appeared there were points of
difference as.z well as points of agree
ment Whether the exchange should be
organized on the basis of commission
of 10 per cent to the Jcommission-house
for handling the goods. this to bar all
purchases outright from. the producers,
was one matter to : be considered.
Whether the membership shall include
retailers and manufacturers was also
discussed There was. formerly a dairy
produce exchange in the city and, as that
was Incorporated. 1t will probably be
revived with some changes, if the general
expression of opinion is to govern.
After a discussion that lasted two
hours. the entire matter was left to a
committee to inquire and report plan.
The committee, includes w. H. Roussel
as chairman, F. B.. Norton. Samuel Mar
tin. j. H. Newbauer.s.F. w. Van SickIen
and William Langstan as alternate. One
proposition that was made was that
every member of the proposed new ex-
change should put up certified check
and also a note for $1,000 as a guarantee
of good faith iii observance of all the
rules of the exchange the money to- be
forfeited IN case OF violation. Samuel r.
Watson acted Ae secretary. Another
meeting will be Held when the COMMITTEES

CONSPIRATORS ARE
TNDONE BY HOPKINS
Young Capitalist Proves He
Signed Note Through
Fraud.

William r. Hopkins, half-owner of the
ST. Annes building, proved in Judge
Graham's court yesterday that he had
been the victim of a conspiracy in which
money-lender j. E. Macdonald W. S.
Curtis, H. c. Smith and I, j. Downing
were principals. Macdonald. as the al
legged purchaser of a note. for $4,000, exc
cuted May 5, 1904. by Smith and Curtis
IN favor of Downing and indorsed by
Hopkins, brought suit to recover the face
of the note and interest from the young
capitalist. Hopkins alleged conspiracy
as defense, and so well did he prove
his case that it took the jury only few
minutes to find verdict in his favor.
Mr.. Hopkins took the stand and gave a
detailed statement as to the manner in
which the conspiracy was carried out, to
get the amount represented by the face
of the note. He said he met Curtis and
Smith. and together they had several
drinks, finally going to a saloon on Mar
ket street, near Third. There he was fur
ther piled with liquor and finally asked
to accompany the men named to the Ex-
aminer building. This ne did and then
they presented to him a paper purport-
ing to effect the lease of some of the
rooms CT the st. Annes building and
asked him to sign 1t. Stupid from liquor,
he mechanically obeyed. When he signed
not on it. There was no consideration.
he said, and the action OF Curtis and
Smith was. he believed. In line with q
conspiracy formed by them Downing and
Macdonald to defraud him.
Attorney Walter e. Linforth, who is
secretary Of the Hopkins Estate Com
pany, testified that the defendants In
terest in the st. Annes building is worth
about $200.0 Macdonald, the money
lender, who brought the suit, took the
stand in rebuttal and testified that he
paid $500 for the note in good faith. He
was forced to admit, however, that he
accepted the note without question. max
ing no inquiry as to whether or not Hop
kins had actually signed 1t. In his argu-
ment to the jury Linforth. who repre-
sented Hopkins at the trial. laid great
stress on this point, asking the jurors
if they ever knew Of professional
money-lender that would purchase note
for $500 without endeavoring to ascer-
tain whether or not it was genuine. un-
less. as contended In the case at bar,
the money-lender had full knowledge as
to the manner in which the note was
procured. And said Lnforth in con-
clusion, ''it is our contention that he
never paid dollar for this note, but all
of these conspirators hoped to collect 1t
through the courts and divide the
booty"
