VERLEYES CASE WILL N0T BE
 DISMISSED
Assistant District Attorney FIanigan Says That Verleye Will Have to Stand Trial. Relatives Can't Save Him.

It looks very much as if R. s. Yer leye. the newspaper man who was ar- rested last week on a charge of forgery would have to stand trial. and if found guilty of the offence charged, pay the penalty.
 Verleye stated several days ago that he hoped to be able to establish coni- munication with his relatives. who it is known are wealthy, and get them 10 furnish the money to cover all the debts which he has incurred since ar irving in the city, with the hope that this would have some effect towards having the charge of forgery, on which Ve-leye is held, withdrawn.
 When asked about the matter yes terday by a Review reporter, Assistant District Attorney E. J. Flanigan said: q know of no ground on which a mo- ton for dismissal of this case should be based. The crime charged is a felony, and under the oath of office which the district attorney takes, it is obligatory upon him to prosecute the case if it appears to him that crime has been committed. At the present time it seems that this Is clear case of forgery, and not even extenuating circumstances have come to light. have noticed some comments in the newspapers as to the high standing of the young mans relatives, but I can not see how that can change the mat | ter. The preliminary hearing has been
 set for next Tuesday, and think thai | 1t will be held. Forgery is a crime
 under the statutes of Arizona. no mat
 ter who commits it. and the forger has to pay the penalty"
 This statement on the part of the
 assistant district attorney is very good indication of what ,he trans gressor may expect, and it now de wolves upon the accused man to find some other means of extricatlng hiu'
 self from the predicament in which his own foolhardiness has placed him When seen at the county jail yes | terday by Review reporter, Verleye stated that he had not heard from his relatives as yet. but that he expected | communication in a very short time | He said further that he expected all
 Fl Paso attorney to arrive in the city within few days, and take charge of the case.
 When asked about the report pub lished in yesterdays Review, Verleye admitted that the report was true | saying that it was a Mexican he had
 killed. and that he served two years
 in the penitentiary for the offense. It was learned that the young wom. ar whom Verleye had married within
 few days after being pardoned from
 the Texas penitentiary, was in Texas at the present time, and that she would probably come to Bisbee to dc | what she could for her husband.

It was learned yesterday that Mrs.
 ronkin Williams had strayed away from her home after suffering for a number of days from agonizing head aches, and iL is feared that she has
 lost her mind. No word has been re- ceiyed from her for four days.
 Last week Mrs. Williams complained
 to her husband about having terrible
 headache, and he called in the doctor at once The doctor prescribed for
 Mrs. Williams, and the next morning 1t was noticed that the sick woman 1 was much improved On Saturday
 Tonkin Williams, who is employed Ly the Copper Queen company, went to
 his work, and on returning home in the evening found that his wife was not there. He was not alarmed by her absence, thinking that perhaps she
 had gone out to visit some friends, be- ing well known in the city. Late that evening she had not returned, and Williams began to get worried. He telephoned to his fathers residence.
 but his wife was not there. He then telephoned to several houses where he
 knew she had been in the habit of visiting. but could find no trace of his wife. By this time he was thoroughly alarmed, but did not care to give the ,, matter any publicity. thinking that per haps his wife might be home sr any time.
 On Sunday morning he went to the railroad depot and inquired if .yon- on answering to the description of his wife had taken the train, ard as
 told that such person had left the
 city that morning.
 Sunday afternoon a passenger on the incoming train was asked if he had
 seen Mrs. Williams. and said that he
 had seen her at Benson, and that she
 took train for Deming.

the management that no charge will be made for it's reduction at the Greene smelter, so admirable is it as Aux for the Greene ores. It car ries over sixty per cent iron. This fact led to the withdrawal of the 25- cent shares and the substitution of the 50-cent ones. Nearly all of the new issue have been spoken for.
 In speaking of the property, Treas urer Thomas said: 'In the Cananea- Eastern we believe we have mine that will ultimately become one of the biggest in Northern Sonora. No property in any country has better surface indications than ours, and the showing already made in workings warrants the conclusion that we have a mine of great magnitude. From an economic standpoint our mine will be- come, if we strike the ore we conf dently expect to, veritable mint. To the south for twenty miles lie inn mense pine forests that can be used in timbering our mine, and the supply seems inexhaustible.
 For the present, it is our intention to treat the ores at Cananea. Already we have good shipping ore on the dumps that would return handsome profits. Should the proposition of a shelter of our own ever come up, we have plenty of good sites on the ground with an abundant supply of water the year round. With plenty of cheap wood near our problem in the economic reduction of ore could be met handily.
 l At present we are working twelve men at the mine, and work has been progressing vigorously, and we ex- pect to exploit the ground for all there is in it. We are situated within easy hauling distance of Cananea, and with little expense a good wagon road can be constructed to the camp. Alto gether all interested are sanguine of the outcome of the Cananea-Eastern." :"
 Mir. Thomas left this morning for the camp. and Mir. Draper. who was Dresent at the meeting, left for New York City, where he will remain on private business for several weeks.

At meeting of the directors of the Cananea Eastern, held in Bisbee last evening, it was decided to make a new issue of 15,000 fifty-cent shares, all the old issue of twenty-five cent shares having become exhausted. So favor able are the indications at the mine and So great the demand for the stock that the new issue of 15,000 shares has been forced upon the management.

 The workings at present consist oi some six hundred feet of drifts and tunnels. The claims are so situated that greater part of the ore can be taken from tunnels, and a shaft will not be necessary until such time as the ore is exhausted in the upper lev els.
 The main tunnel of the workings has penetrated seven feet of good sul phide ore that runs high in values. In fact, the character of the ore is such

DISCoRD IN CONGRESS
Lack of Harmony Between Leaders OF
the Two Houses Responsible for
Failure Of Many Bills.

washington, - March 27-s
(SpeciaD The best way to describe
the situation here is by saying that
the relations of everybody to every
thing seems somewhat strained TO
say that harmony prevaiis anywhere.
or in the breast Of anyone here would
be to say more than there is warrant
for. If all grows out or an anomalous
political situation, wherein the presi-
dent speaks for the people, voices
their demands and the congress which
Is overwhelmingly republican in both
branches represents railroads and
corporations. The president has pre-
sented to congress measures repre-
senting the people and has therefore
set the republican voters of the coun-
try onto their members OF congress
and they are putting on pressure.
With pressure from the people on one
side and pressure from the corpora
tions on the other the members of
both houses of congress find them
selves in a trying and disagreeable
situation in no wise conductive to
harmonious relations between them
and either of the forces that are at
this time threatening their future.
1t is openly and freely conceded here
by all that the chances favor an over
Whelming victory for the democrats
in the coming congressional election.
Republican political sages express
great fear that democrats will elect
the governors and legislatures of
several northern states also.
President RoOsevelts partisanship
has always been such that it would
be relied upon to influence him at
critical juncture 1t is well known
that every member or the cabinet are
opposed to his railroad policy and
that if the republican members of
the house and senate dared express
their true sentiments 1t would de-
yelop that the president has not a
dozen sympathizers in his own party
in both branches of congress. There
fore when we say that the railroad in
fuences in the republican party have
been bringing all the pressure posi-
BILE to bear upon the president to in
duce hi INTO modify MS demands for
railroad legislation, ii the interest OF
harmony in the republican party it
is apparent that the pressure is very
great No one up to this time can
positively predict the final outcome
in view of the presidents well known
intence and almost violent partisan
ship.
Predictions are made here by some
astute politicians that the president
has modified his partisan feelings
considerably of late because of the
cordial support his railroad policy is
receiving at the hands of the demo-
Gratis in the senate whom he has
learned to recognize as the only ac-
tual sympathizers in that body with
the purpose of the rate bill the out
come of which will go far in deter
mining the presidents future popu-
larity.

Mccurdy To Tell Secrets

President McCurdy informed the
Truesdale committee before the suits
were begun that if he were sued for
restitution he would tell all he knew
about the company and would spare
no one. 1t is known that he will
charge that only a small portion OF
the enormous commissions paid to
RAYMOND & Co. went into the pockets
of the members of that firm, and
that in reality the firm was run for
the purpose of enriching the trustees.
He will allege that whenever a trus-
tee secured policyholder for the Mu-
tual he received the full commission
and the renewal commissions like
wise, but that on the books OF the
company it appears as having been
paid to Raymond & Co.
Mr.. McCurdy will return from Eu-
rope to be present In person when
the suits are tried in court He is
in close touch with Andrew Fields,
the Mutuais former legislative agent.
Fields is a stanch adherent of Mr..
McCurdy and is said to have placed
at his disposal all the information he
possesses.
Jail Yawns For Some
Said member of the McCurdy fam
ily today: people have thought An
drew Hamilton has told a great deal.
Well, we'll begin where Andrew Ham
ilton left off. It's no longer a question
of who among the trustees are not
at fault, but of who will keep out of
jail
1t was said today by prominent
insurance man that the Mutual trus-
tees would have refrained from bring
ing the McCurdy suits at all if they
had dared brave public opinion.
1t is freely prophesied in Wall street
that there is bound to be big ex
plosion soon. 1t is frankly said that
President Peabody is not a strong
enough man to keep the warning ele
ments in order. He is being found
fault with by all factions This is
another reason which has strength

mination to resign.
