CHICAGO, July 13.-Leaving behind
him his wife and taking his mongrel
yellow cur, Walter Scott, who has de-
lighted in the title of the Eccentric
Miner in Chicago, left for New York
this afternoon on the Twentieth Cen
tury limited. Before his going the
boastful negotiations about buying
thirteen hour train for Gotham dissi-
pated into thin air. The Lake Shore
oficials declared Scott could have a
fast special train had he been disposed
to pay what such train was worth.
Persistent stories, some of them coming
from credible sources, are afloat in Chi
cago tonight that Scott was incidental
ly an advertisement for the road over
which he came from the coast, and
that the main purpose Of his exploit is
to gain notoriety preparatory to a wild
west show which he is to establish
for himself and others identified with
him. Scott's expenditures in Chicago
probably did not aggregate over $1O0
a day, including his hotel bills, which
he considered too high at $25 day.

FORTUNE HUNTER
FACES TRIAL ON CHARGE OF
PERJURY
PURSUES A GOLDEN MIRAGE
kentuckian confesses to Swearing
Falsely to Gain $4,000 Estate,
Loses Case and Must Face
Criminal Proceeding

While, a.yerdiet was. being read in de-
partment three of the superior court
yesterday afternoon in which the heirs
mentioned in the will of Mrs. Eta
Longley were declared the legal heirs,
just one floor below, in department five,
the step-father of the deceased, with
head bowed in misery over his pre-
dicament, was being arraigned before
Judge Conrey on charge of perjury
growing out of the trial of the will
case.
The old man was John Hoadley of
Newport, KY, and, frightened by the
home for the remainder of his life, his
grief and contrition was pitiful. AS his
attorney left the room Hoadley sobbed
out mo one knows, nor can ever know,
how fought against it and how my
conscience dictated my actions"
Hoadley was arrested during the
trial of the Eta Longley will case last
week. He made the trip half way
across the continent to attend and tes-
tify at the trial that he was the lawful
father of the deceased. The heirs
named in the will contested his claim
and declared the $4,000 estate was all
theirs.
In a last stand for his rights Hoadley
swore he was the father of Eta Long
ley, claiming to have married her
mother July IA, 1868. Attorneys for the
defendants produced marriage records
showing that the wedding occurred two
years after the birth of the girl. Hoad-
ley then confessed and was arrested.
Yesterday the Longley estate was de-
clared ready for distribution to the heirs
mentioned in the will, and today, on
the forty-second anniversary of his
wedding day, the old man will plead
to the perjury charge against him.

ST. PETERSBURG, July lathe
resignation of M. Bouligan as minister
of the interior is expected daily. Gen.
Trepoff, the assistant minister OF the
Interior. probably will be his successor.
The terrorists have recently renewed
their warnings against Gen. Trepoff
with omlnous persistency. The general
is in constant receipt of letters signed
by the executive commission of the
fighting organization, informing him
that his hour has come. A remarkable
feature of all the communications Is
that the writers take pains to say that
no safeguards will avail to avert his
impending doom. At the same time
they tell him he need not be afraid to
go abroad in the streets. They add:
Your sentence will be executed in your
own room. You will die in your bed"
The terrorists seem to take pride in
issuing challenge involving a demon
stration of their power and resources
to penetrate the armor Of the police.
Gen. Trepoff knows enough Of the
desperate nature Of the organization to
firmly believe that the terrorists are
able to execute their threat He makes
no concealment Of the fact that he ex-
poets to be killed, but his nerve is un-
shaken. 81 will at least die at the
post of duty" he says.
Privately Gen. Trepoff takes gloomy
view of the future of the autocracy, in
which he believes. He is confident that
If given untrammeled power he could

thinks, will end only in ruin. A repre-
sentative assembly, no matter what it's
initial character will be, will soon be
transformed, he is convinced. into a
constituent assembly, which will give
the death blow to absolutism.

AS James A. Weldt, merchant of
San Pedro and foreman of the jury,
read the verdict In the case against
Barbee S. Hook in department one Of
the superior court late yesterday after
noon, there was silence among the 200
spectators and every eye was turned
toward the young millionaire. who
throughout the ordeal Of the trial
maintained his composure.
The faithful little mother who had
nestled down by the side of her son
from the first day of the trial until its
close caught his hand and held it while
Hook arose and bowed his thanks to
the jury.
Judge Smith dismissed the jury and
ordered Hook discharged and released
from bond.
Great Interest In Trial
The day was one of great excitement
and conjecture. Visitors crowded into
the court room and attorneys from all
parts of the county. knowing that one
of the greatest legal battles in the his
tory of Los Angeles was in progress.
left their offices and spent the day
watching the careful fencing of Pros
ecuting Attorneys Fleming and McCo-
mas and Attorneys Hunsaker, Reeves
and Milliken.
The evidence was all in and promptly
at 10 o'clock, with the assurance of
Judge Smith that they might have
more than five hours for arguments,
the attorneys began to address the
jury.
Deputy District Attorney Fleming

him dreaded by the criminals of the
southwest, he explained the details Of
the accident in which Miss Birtwistle
lost her life.
This man." said Fleming, "had no
right to take such chances on a public
thoroughfare. Downey avenue is one
of the great thoroughfares of Los An
geles and is constantly used by pedes-
trians. His negligence in not slowing
down at that crossing was criminal"
Attorneys Arguments
For the defense, Attorney Milliken
who throughout the trial kept witnesses
in a state Of confusion, opened the ar
gument and carefully drew the state
ments OF witnesses for the defense to
cover those offered by the prosecution.
Former District Attorney James
Reeves. who for years has studied the
intricacies OF criminal prosecutions and
knows every turn in the game. con-
tinued in behalf OF Hook.
The argument Of Reeves was quick,
concise and straight to the point and
he closed his address by saying: Gen
tlemen OF the jury have been on this
earth quite a good while and 1 know a
few things about prosecuting attorneys.
When an attorney feels in his heart a
man Is guilty, nothing In the world
