is only too clearly very much worried.
Her conduct toward the TALLER and her
cell.mate, Sarah Taylor, has also un-
dergone a great change. When first
incarcerated she was quite autocratic
and directed Jailer Davis explicitly as
to what he could do for her comfort.
She seemed to be particularly averse
to occupying the same couch with sa.
rah, and ordered up another bed in
the grandest way in the world. But
now all her Ioftlness has disappeared
and she has evidently set out to be.
come a model prisoner. Under the
astute Sarah's advice, she has grown
subdued, tractable, even submissive,
and is striving to get into the good
graces of her host, 1t having been
rather forclbIy called to her atten-
tion that, "willy.nilly," she is to be
his guest for a few weeks at any rate.
Wright Talks,
Frank Wright was seen at the jail
this afternoon and talked quite freely.
When asked If there was any truth in
the report that he was going to turn
States evidence in the case, he said
that. he was afraid he couldn't very
well, as he had told absolutely every.
thing he knew about the matter at
the inquest. Wright said he wasn't
worrying any about himself, as there
wasn't anything to worry about as far
as he was concerned. He kept assert
ing that what he had told at the in
quest represented his entire knowl-
edge of the case. The boy was clear
eyed and evidently unafraid. He said
the Jail wasn't bad place to stay,
and that he'd noticed If you treated
Mr.. Davis right he treated you right.

done just right, and I'm in a bad place
Itoibe, but accidents will happen"

PORTSMOUTH, N, H., Aug 49,
The much discussed question of in

to prove SO great an obstacle in the
pending peace negotiations as was at

subjects.
The mystery, IL such there was, has
now been explained. These army and

to assist in arriving at correct de-
termination of what the actual cost OF
the war has been to Japan. Knowing
that the question Of indemnity would

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, August l2.-
The Journal prints story covering
the history of former banker Frank
G. Blgelow,s downfall, showing the
amounts he took from the First Ma
tional Bank from May 25, 1904, until
April 25, last. According to the Jour-
nal he began by abstracting $4,000
and gradually Increased the amounts
until the total approximated >over a
million and half. The truth was re-
vealed in an exhibit submitted to the
bankruptcy court in proof of the
banks claim against Bigelow. The
first step in Bigelow's wrong doing
was taken on May rs, 1904, when he
charged the Chemical National Bank
of New York with $4,000, for which
it was not indebted to the First Ma
tional Bank of Milwaukee. 1t does not
appear from the statement to the

obtained the money and it is not Who'll

SENSATIONAL TRIAL AT WORTH
INeToN IN WHICH A TECH.
NIcALITY PLAYED AN I'M.
PoRTANT PART.

The town OF Worthlngton is still
considerably worked up over what
many people consider a gross miscar-
rlage of justice there last Wednesday,
because of a technicality in the law.
Some time ago Jasper N. Richard.
son and step.son.in.law Of his named
Talkington, were employed by the B.
and o. Railroad Company at Worth
ington, Richardson as a watchman
and Talkington as a section man.
Richardson claims that Albert Allen
wanted his job and was responsible
for reports coming to the B. and o.
officials that Richardson was conduct
ing himself in a manner unbecoming
to a company employe. At any rate
Allen got the position with the COM
pany, and Richardson was discharged.
Shortly after this Allen was arrested
for illegal liquor selling, on a com.
plant sworn out by Talkington. Be-
fore Commissioner Fred Martin, Allen
talked very frankly and said he had
bought case of whiskey and at
Talkington's request had sold him a
pint as an accommodation, not max
ing any profit by the transaction.
Affairs came to a serious pass be-
tween Richardson and Allen and
threats were frequent. Last Tuesday
Richardson came to Fairmont, and
having laid in good supply Of Dutch
courage, went home to have 1t out
with Allen. According to Aliens
story he came home about four o'clock
in the Afternoon t6 find Richardson
leaning over his gate post swapping a
revolver at Mrs. Alien. Allen and
another man who was with him jump
ed on Richardson and pretty nearly
beat him to death, and then swore
out warrant for his arrest. No
loads were found in the revolver, and
1t was supposed that Richardson's
wife, who is an eminently respectable
woman, dlvining his intention, had
withdrawn the loads from the gun.
The case was tried "Wednesday be-
sfore Justice cochTan, and was Unique

in that it was tried in the open air
under a large tree. Attorney NJ. w.
Ogden was up from Fairmont to de.
fend Richardson, and saw early in the
game that the evidence against his
client was going to be too strong for
him to counteract. Aliens wife swore
that Richardson came down the
street, rested the pistol on the top Of
the gate post, pointed 1t directly at
her, and pulled the trigger several
times while she was within thirty feet
of him. Allen and the man who had
been with him swore to catching Rich.

other witnesses testified to his having
made threats.
The lawyer, however, saw loop
