WAIVED EXAMINATION.
Frank Turner Placed under $4,000
bonds for Shooting Dr. nay

Chester Doc. 10.-Frank Turner was
arraigned to-day before Justice Of the
Peace A. N. Learned on the charge of
shooting DR.. Charles w. Ray and waived
examination. His bail was fixed at 5000
which was furnished tonight by J. T..
Sargent his counsel, and Turner was
released.
| It Is learned the quarrel leading up to
the shooting Is one that may furnish
counter sensation. Turner has been seen
lat times with the Doctors wife and
gossip connected their names. DR.. Ray ap-
parently paid no attention to the street
gossip and until Saturday night both he
and Mrs. Ray were outwardly on the
best Of terms.
ACCUSES HER HUSBAND.
On the other hand. Mrs. Ray claims
that for year past Dr. Ray has been
lunfaithful to his VOWS as n husband.
and that her relations with young Tur-
ner have been absolutely void of guilt.
and that the doctors suspicious and
statements are made only as a blind to
cover his own guilty actions.
Saturday night DIR. Ray was away from
homo on a call, and Mrs Ray retired TO
her room as usual with her 13-year-old
son. About midnight, she was awakened
by hearing her husband como upstairs
Ito his room. few minutes later he
came out in his bathrobe and went down
stairs. Mrs. Ray arose and followed
him.
She heard tho doctor enter a room up
stairs in the rear. and believing that
something was up, she determined to
investigate. However before doing any
thing further. she rang the bell which
summons young Turner out Of tho barn
| to the house. He soon came. and to-
gether they went to the foot Of the
stairs and called the doctor.
After several minutes he came down
stairs, and both being very much OK
cited. a quarrel between the two mon
arose. There was n scuffle with the
young man on tho bottom. Mrs. Ray
intervened, and succeeded In pulling her
husband away, which gave Turner a
chance to get up. The boy started to
and fired two shots. Frightened at the
act, he ran to his room. where he was
later arrested by Sheriff Bond
The doctor. In spite Of his wounds
went to the telephone and summoned
the constable and D. W. F. Ravens
He was assisted by hir wife to his room
where an examination of his wounds
was made by DR.. Hovens assisted by
DR.. w. r. Hazelton of Bellows Falls
1t is thought that unless complications
set m he vii! recover.

sons my suspicious we're aroused. Last

From treatment l had previously re-

summoned Mr. Turner.
After ringing three times he came,
having a revolver with him. had told
him at one time before what | feared and
he told me to be free in calling on his as
sistance. II was great mistake. and l
an very sorry that have placed him IN
such a position. When he came in I told
him what was up, and he went to the foot
of the stairs. whore he called the Doctors
name several times.
The girl came out Of her room and
asked what We wanted. We said we
wanted the doctor. | wanted to satisfy
my own curiosity that he was In there.
He came out. and | went up stairs. l
heard a terrible noise in the kitchen, and
ran down to find the doctor and Mr.
Turner struggling on the floor. l pulled
the doctor off and Mr.. Turner sprang up
He ran around the dining table in the
dining room. with the doctor after him.
The doctor ran into his office, which

hands. Showing head rest and equip
ment, made of iron, which she took from
a drawer) He started for Mr. Turner.
who ran to the kitchen door, and turn
ing saw the doctor coming after him
with the weapon raised. In self-defence
he drew his revolver and fired twice It
was in self defence only, for he was
afraid of his lif, as tn doctor is vry
fiery and quick tempered. The doctor
succeeded In calling d. Ravens on the
telephone, and then l assisted him up
stairs."

DID WILSON WORK
WITH c. BENTLY.
POLICE THINK PAIR PLANNED
EMBEZZLEMENT
Former Clerks Of Title Guarantee and
Trust Company, Accused Of
Shortage in Accounts,
Were Intimate

The wherea bouts of Greeley w.
Bently who is charged with embezzling
$4,000 Of the Title Guarantee and Trust
companys funds last October, are
known by the police of this city and
the law firm of Tanner, Taft g. Odell.
So far as the trust company is con-
cerned the case against Bently has
been dropped, says Attorney Taft, but
there are other reasons which may at
any time bring the former trusted
clerk back to Los Angeles.
The shortage which Bently is said to
have left in his accounts with the trust
company was made good by his foster
mother shortly after the formers dis
appearance from Los Angeles. For
this reason the trust company will
not directly prosecute Bently
But, said Mr.. Taft, "if Bently should
be brought back here for trial on any
other charge, there is nothing that will
prevent the trust company's giving
evidence regarding the mans chara cter
and their own dealings with him.
Bently has other defaults against him.
He is at present in little town in
Indiana"
Cases Are Similar
The case of Greeley w. Bently is
recalled lately, owing to the capture of
Fred p. Wilson, who, like Bently, is
accused cc absconding with money be-
longing to the Title Guarantee and
trust company. Wilson was taken into
custody in New York several days ago
Ivy Chief of Police Auble of Los An
geles. The once popular Wilson is now
on his way back to Los Angeles, and
has made the statement that he found
living entirely too expensive for him
in Gotham.
Police officials and attorneys of this
city who are familiar with the kind
and quality of rations that are fur
nished prisoners say that If Wilson
gets beef stew he will be exceptionally
lucky. He will be obliged to be on his
best behavior for long time before
he attains the place in the estimation
of the warden warranting free lunches
in the shape of beef stew.
Celebrate Together
At the time of the disappearance of
Bently and the unraveling of the mys-
terry surrounding it, F. P. Wilson was
interviewed by a Herald reporter. On
that occasion Wilson failed to mention
that he and Bently We're pals. AL
though the two went to San Francisco
together and celebrated in grand style
during the Britt-Nelson fisticuffs at
Colma, Wilson said they behaved like
good boys and in the coolest manner
stated they did not spend more than
$S5 during their three days in San Fran
CISCO
By the police it has been limited that
several unknown relations between
Wilson and Bently may come to light
when Wilson'S trial comes up. The
trial will take place shortly after the
arrival in Los Angeles of Chief Auble
with his prisoner.

NEW YORK. June 2S.--Nothing was
left today of the show of strength in
yesterdays stock market and prices
yielded weakly to the closing, which was
at the lowest of the day, with the de-
clining tendency in full force and with
losses run from one to more than three
points for the leading speculative fa-
Vortes.
aThere was a momentary disposition to
shorts about the time of the appearance
of the favorable bank statement, but sell
ing orders came into the market with in
creased volume in the attempt to realize
on the bank statement and prices were
carried sharply downward throughout
the list
The announcement of the program of
the administration at Washington for
the prosecution of the Standard Oil com
pany was advanced as the motive for
the selling.
The demand to cover shorts. which was
largely responsible for yesterdays rise,
seemed to be mostly satisfied today and
the efforts to get out of stocks were
renewed
Baltimore & Ohio was the sole example
of anything like strength in the market
The bank statement disclosed mucn
more than the expected gain in cash and
the surplus was helped also by the re-
duction in the loan item. These increased
resources will be required, it is believed,
to meet demands next week in prepara-
in the London discount rate on the ap-
prehension of Withdrawals of gold from

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Higher-Provisions Were
Steady
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO. June 2S--Wet weather
played an important part in the wheat
market today. Heavy rains were reported
throughout Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa,
where harvesting is in progress, and
also in the northwest, where clear wealth
er is needed for the crop. The bullish
feeling was strengthened by the state
ment of an English statistcian that the
worlds weekly shipments for last week
and the amount of breadstuffs on ocean
passage will show a considerable de-
crease. From the opening shorts and
commission houses We're fair buyers but
offerings were light. The decline in the
prices of corn and oats acted as a drag
on the market and prevented it from be-
coming very strong. The close was
steady. September opened h@9sc to so
1ac higher at S40fS41sc; sold between S37s
and sac and closed 3sc higher at $40

The rains had an opposite effect on
the corn market from that on wheat.
Sentiment in corn was bearish all day.
The market closed weak at the lowest,

The oats market was weak in Sympa-
