CRIPPLES JOHN DOE"
COURT HOLDS SUCH WARRANTS
ARE ILLEGAL.

NEW YORK November 30-The court Of
appeals of New York has given a death
blow to John Doe proceedings, the method
devised by District Attorney Jerome to put
citizens on the rack and get Information
from them. The court denounces such pro-
ceedings as Illegal and the subpoenas is
sued for witnesses as worthless as waste
paper. The decision means that no more
John Doe inquiries can be legally conduct
ed by the district attorney.
The decision grew out of John Doe pro-
ceedings against Klaw & Erlanger. the So
called theatrical trust, to get evidence on
which criminal prosecutions could be based.
These proceedings followed the civil suit
Of David Belasco against Klaw & En-
LANCER.
The John Doe inquiry was begun by the
district attorney in December, 1905, and
a subpoena signed by Justice Wyatt of
special sessions. was served upon Meyer
w. Livingston. the head bookkeeper and
general manager of Klaw & Erlanger, re-
curing him not only to appear before JUS
tice Wyatt on December 10. but to pro-
duce all of Klaw & changers books. rec
ords and other data in his possession. 1t
was the intention to go through these books
and records and with the aid of Livingston S
testimony attempt to get evidence against
the so-called trust.
Fishing for Evidence.
Livingston ignored the subpoena, and
when an effort was made to punish him
the legality Of the proceeding was tested
and the matter carried up to, the appellate
division of the supreme court. which de-
cided against Livingston and Klaw & Err
LANCER. The case was then carried up to
| the court of appeals. Edward Lauterbach
appearing for Livingston ard District At
torney Jerome in behalf Of his John Doe
inquiry The court of appeals has just
| handed down it's decision. the opinion be-
ing written by Justice Vann and cor CURED
in by Justices Cullen. Cray and Werner.
The plain English of the decision Is that
the district attorney tried to go on fish
ing excursion for evidence of a crime with
out having adequate justification for sc
doing.

Bogus Ballots Voted in the Name of
Absent Policyholders.

NEW YORK, November 30-It became
known yesterday that Samuel Untermyer,
counsel for the international policyholders
committee. which has ticket in the field
for trustees of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company in opposition to the admin
istration ticket, was preparing case
against one or more officials OF the COM
pany, in which he will allege that ballots
have been forged in great numbers and
voted for the administration candidates.
Mr. Untermyer and George r. Scrugham,
manager Of the international policyholders'
committee, have been working on this case
for several days. 1t is said that they will
probably apply in a few days for warrant
charging one employee of the New York
Life with forgery. By doing this, 1t Is
said, Mr.. Untermyer and Manager Scrug-
ham hope to secure a confession that will
disclose the origin OF the alleged forgery.
It il positively known that one man has
made affldavit that he acted as the witness
to the signing of seventy-four ballots, the
names on which were forged. These names,
according to the affidavit. were all those
of former residents on the East Side who
have returned to their homes in Europe.
1t Is said that the names and policy num-
bers were supplied to the East Side rep
resentative by some one in the main Of
flee and that the signatures were put on
at branch office.
"Untermyer and Scrugham think they
are hot on the trail of series of these
forgeries." said man who is in position
to know whereof he speaks yesterday. land
they expect to have that trail lead straight
to the home ONCE of the company. II
they can get affidavks and confession
that they are after, In addition to what
they already have, trouble may come to
some person or persons. They have one
case cinched and are looking up another
before making a move.
Both Mr.. Untermyer and Mr.. Scrughan
were at their Offices yesterday, having
| foregone their holiday In order to further
their investigation. Neither would taif
about the matter.

SAWED CELL BARS WITH YARN.
Federal Prisoner Invents Odd lnstru.
ment to Effect Escape.

Leavenworth, Kan.-Out of pieces of
wooden yarn, ~unraveled from a sock
and twisted together, a prisoner in the
new federal prison at Leavenworth,
Kan, constructed an instrument which
he used to saw through the top and
bottom of a three-inch steel bar.
That a common piece of yarn could
be made to cut the strongest steel
bars, tested with acids and resisting
steel saws, is a discovery that not only
surprise police and keepers of jails
and penitentiaries, but scientists as
well. 1t is the first case Of the kind
on record, as far as can be learned,
and the prisoner who used it in the
Leavenworth penitentiary is the orr.
ginator.
The prisoner was confined in one of
the isolation cells. A guard standing
on a tier above noticed him working
his hands back and forth around the
bars and notified the guards on the
lower floor. They investigated and
found that the top had been sawed
through. The bottom was about half
through. The prisoner readily con.
fessed and showed the warden how he
had accomplished the feat.
