for the chair, but Laekaye wouldn't pay
that price.
Il was secretary to a director of the
Union Pacific railroad at that time, and
we were travelling in his private car.
Getting tired of the argument between
the actor and the Indian, I went into
the car.

colored cook came in and said that a
'gemen' in the last car wanted to pass
through our car for joke. 1t was dull
and my employer and | said sure in

our car and into the first car of the
train, where he made friepds with

Swede his Broadway garments as Sc

to start he bought that polished $25

pecting Sioux. He is good actor, all
right"

WILL BRING HAMILTON
SUIT JUST THE SAME
His Speech viii Not Interfere With
Plans of New York Life to
Recover Money.

New York, March 1s.-Andrew G. Hamil-
tons statement before the legislative in
vestigating committee yesterday will not
interfere with the suits which the New
York insurance company proposes to
bring against him, according to Augustus
G. Paine, a trustee of the company, and
a member of the Fowler investigating
committee.
Mr.. Paine was for several years a
member of the New York life auditing
committee. but resigned about six years
ago.. He said today that he did not
see how that committee could be held
responsible for payments to Hamilton,
inasmuch as vouchers were always sub
mitted by the comptroller of the company
and the amounts called for were always
regarded as part of the company's legiti-
mate expenses.

SIMULATED ITALIAN.
Ordinary Tramp Comes Near Pooling
Georgia Prison Commission.

Atlanta, Ga, March 16.-(Special.)-An
ordinary tramp came near to fooling the
Georgia prison commission into granting
him a pardon on the plea that he was a
poor ignorant Italian who could not speak
a word of English, but an unsympathetic
convict guard in the camp where the fell
low was, serving his twelve months term
exposed the scheme in time to stop the
pardon.
Andy Grler was sent up from Carroll
county for vagrancy. At the trial he pre-
tended ignorance OF the English language
and jabbered like a monkey. He was
sent up for twelve months. Then local
papers began printing stories about the
cruel treatment of a defenseless man,
and great sympathy was aroused. Grier
looked good for a pardon until the guard
exploded the pretty story.
