 Attorney William Kennedy, coun- sel for Dr Grady, then addressed the court. He said that in all his ex- perience before the bar he never felt toward client as he did toward Dr Grady. The mere fact that he plead ed guilty is in itself punishment to him. The stigma of 1t will follow him for some time to come. Dr Grady, he said, never entered into this conspiracy; he never knowingly intended to defraud this society or anybody else. But he did what he should not have done in examining Reynolds the way he did.
 Reynolds worked for the Water bury Ice corporation" said MT Ken nedy. lat the time he was examined by Dr Grady. His work was most laborious, and required strong man to do it. That in itself was some thing in the doctors favor. He re- lied upon McKiernan's statement that there was nothing wrong, and so he filled out the papers. He received no compensation for doing so. He merely did 1t just as a favor to Mo- Kiernan, and he knew that he was not to be paid for it. He suddenly found himself in very bad company, but 1t was too late that he made the discov- cry. Were he older in the practice of his profession he would not have made this perfunctory examination. He is nothing but a mere boy in the hands of designing men" MT Ken nedy asked for suspension of sen tence because of the doctors stand ing In the public. "The others do not have to meet the public every day as the doctor does," he said.
 They can go to their homes, but he must meet people every day"
 Attorney James M. Lynch spoke for Brophy. He said in the course of his remarks that Brophy has suf- fered serious family afflictions dur ing the past six years, losing six chill dren in that, time. His wife is at present sick and unable to leave her bed. What he did was mere negli- gence. He should have seen Key holds sign the application, for he was clerk of the local camp of the society. While the fact was he did not see Reynolds until after his death. It was simply case of misplaced con fidence in McKiernan. He was a passive instrument in the hands of experienced men.

For conspiring to defraud tho s0 clety of the Woodmen of the World by securing an insurance policy for $l,OOO on the life of Frank Reynolds Louis Strauss was sentenced by Judge Case in the superior court this morning to one year in jail, Patrick H. McKiernan was fined $500 and Martin J. Brophy and Dr James A. Grady were each fined $1OO and costs.
 The court room was crowded with friends and relatives of the ac. cused quartet. The four. to the SIT, prise of all in the court room pleaded guilty as charged whereupon Assist. ant States Attorney John P. Kel logg made statement. He said that Mckiernan, few days ago made q clean breast of the whole nefarious business which coincided with the results of an investigation he had made himself. From that statement of McKiernan, Mir Kellogg said. he concluded that Strauss was the main conspirator, the idea of insuring Key holds arising with him. He then asked McKiernan to help him, saying to him, he had man who was in con sumption and if he could be got into some society and insured, in short time the policy would be payable, and they would be in a lot of money. Me Kiernan then saw Dr Grady and told him that in few days a man would go to him to be examined and he hoped the doctor would '.let him off light" "Dr Grady" said Mir Kellogg, 'is young physician here, a son of very reputable citizen who managed to give him good education anl make a doctor of him. Dr Grady" he went on, made merely a perfume tory examination of Reynolds, more for the sake of doing McKiernan q favor, for favors McIliernan had done him than with any idea of com hitting crime The application was taken to the doctor to sign and he signed 1t and it was also signed ny Brophy, and certified to by him, as were all the other papers necessary to fill out with the application for tha in- surance policy.
 McKiernan told me all this volun-  tarily" said Mir Kellogg, The first dis missed his attorney and then made up his mind to make clean breast of the whole affair He had no promise to induce him to do so, nor has he had any promise since. As for Bro phy and the doctor" said Mir Kellogg, ''they have pleaded guilty. knowing the enormity of the crime they are charged with. They have been pun ished because of their standing in so- ciety, but they must be punished more. do not know what recorn- mendatlon to make in either of the cases.

has maintained his reputation and
outdone all previous efforts. The
new Swedish character Is not the Gus
tomary green horn. Pete has been
in America long enough to read Eng
lish language, and he devotes all his
spare moments to deyouring dime
novels, for Pete wants to be detec.

eharacte than all his predecessors.
Like them, he sings a song or two,
and ID also on hand when rescue work
Is needed. The william Is patent

the heroine a queen of soc iety''
and cuts out a clergyman who Is In
love with the girl, and induces the
heroine to elope, whit the assistance
Of her weak minded mother. The
medicine man promptly deserts the
heroine and her baby, and she Is only
saved from suicide by the prompt
appearance Of Pete. -Four beautiful
dogs have important parts, and &c
through their roles with enthusiasm
and thoFoughness. Pete Peterson
should prove one Of the best attrac'
tions at the Auditorium this season.
