COURT OF APPEALS MEETS.
Hands Down Opinions in Patent Cases
Then Adiourns

The Court of Appeals of the District OF
Columbia met today with Associate Jus
tees Morris and Shepard present. After
overruling three motions for rehearings IN
causes recently decided. the court announc-
ed its opinion in three patent appeal cases
and then adjourned for the day.
Owing to the failure of the Senate 10 act
on the nominations of Mr.. Justice Shepard
to be chief justice, and of Mr. Chas H.
Duell to be an associate justice OF the
court they could not be sworn in today,
but the hope expressed that the Sem
ate would take immediate action on the
nominations tomorrow, so that a full bench
might be secured at early date and the
hearing of causes on the calendar proceed.
The appellate court reversed the decision
of Hammond against Basch, and affirmed
the commissioners decision in the cases OF
Paul against Hess. and Seeberger against
Dodge, all of the opinions being written by
Mr.. Justice Shepard.
Petitions for rehearings were denied in
the patent appeal clseS of Richards
against Messner. Similar action was
taken on q motion for rehearing in the case
of Richardson against Daggett, which came
up from the Probate Court, and involved
the estate of the late Albert Daggett.
Justice Morris, before adjourning the
court announced that no arguments would
be heard this week, and that the patent ap-
peal docket would be called Tuesday next,
January 10, 1905.

.BLACKMAIL PLOT is F0|LED
TWO MEN WHO DEMAND $40, 900
FROM ARMOUR ARRESTED.
Ask Cash for Alleged discriminatory
Letters-Trapped While Await
ing First Payment.

Chicago, Nov. 20. = Forty thousand
dollars was the price fixed upon a
number of letters stolen from the cor
former employe of the big packing
firm, whose threat was that unless the
money was paid the letters would be
turned over to the government as evi.
dence to be used in the prosecution OF
the so-called beef trust. ]. Ogden Ar.
mour, upon whom was made the first
attempt to levy blackmail, refused to
consider the proposition. The affair
came out Friday when it became
known that two men were prisoners
in the county Jail, charged with con-
spiracy and extortion by threats.
The climax in the scheme to collect
$4,000 came Thursday night, when
Attorney Moritz Rosenthal represent
ing Mr.. Armour, received William S.
McSwain, No. 1928 Oakley boulevard,
in his apartments at the Auditorium
Annex. and turned him over to Inspect
or LAWN of the Harrison street police
district, after McSwain had demanded
$4,000 as first installment of the
blackmail. A few minutes later Will
bur Cole, brother-in-law of McSwain,
walked into the same trap, and both
men were hurried away to the Cottage
Grove avenue police station.
Not until Friday afternoon, when the
prisoners were taken to the county Jail
because they could not furnish bonds,
was the nature of their offense dis
closed. Mr.. Armour w44l prosecute
them both to the end Of the law, the
preliminary hearing of the case having
been set for next Tuesday morning, in
the Harrison street court.
I. Attorney Rosenthal declared that the
letters had been recovered from Nc
Swain, and that they were absolutely
of no Importance" in connection with
the forthcoming trial of the packers.
He declined to reveal the character of
the correspondence. however, explain
ing that this would be done at the
trial. Mr.. Armour, he said. attached
no value to the letters, but was deter
mined to make an example of the men
who had tried tO b1ackmai1 him
