Mcclellan Again in Court to
Aid FellOW-Yictim.
TRUST UNHAPPY NOW
Mrs. VerrauIt Ren1Iy Hadn't Ex-
Pected That the Philadelphia Gro
Ger Would BE SO UnfeeIinE as to
Tell the Old story Over Again,
but He Did, and i'm Detail.

New York, Nov. 9O.-The sad story Of
James B. McClellan's unfaitering belief
in the efficacy Of the newspaper per
sonar' for winning a wife, and in the
promises and letters of Mrs Bina +. Yer
rault. alias Helen Hamilton. was told
again before Commissioner Shields to-
day.
Mcclellan is the Philadelphia grocer
who registered the first protest against
the brunette, but it was as a witness for
Leo Keisler, the Hungarian, who is en-
ployed by the Mutual Life Insurance
Company that the Scotchman took the
stand. Keisler's complaint followed Nc
Clellan's suit, both having visited Mrs
Verrault's handsomely furnished house,
at 323 West Eighty-second street. He also
charges that the woman had made use
of the mails for improper purposes.
McClellan's appearance was evidently
unlocked for, for both Mrs. Verrault and
her counsel. Hugh Gordon Miller, showed
their surprise when Assistant United
States Attorney DOrT announced that he
would call the Philadelphian as a wit
ness.
Mcclellan told without much prompting
the whole story Of his acquaintance wIth
Mrs Hamilton, how be had answer sd
the personal in a Philadelphia paper last
May, and had come in hot haste 10 New
York, when he had received an encoU-ag-
ing reply from Sincerity" Then ne told
how he felt for the 500 three-carat
diamond engagement ring. which he had
placed on the defendants finger anu
which he said she never would let hlm
take on.
After several specimens of Mrs. Yer
rault's most winning style Of amatory
composition were read, Mr.. Miller tried
to show that Il was McClellan's Scotch
sense, and not sentiment that had actu-
ated him.
Mcclellan denied, however. that he tried
to get back the diamond ring and To
substitute for il a bogus one. lie also
denied point blank that he had commits
stoned Clarence Cook, a lawyer, TO CON-
promise the matter with Mrs. Nerrault
and gave a decided NO" 70 MT. Miller s
question II he had not taken the advice
of the lawyer before beginning the cor
respondence with Mrs. Verrault-
Lawyer Miller then asked Commissioner
Shields 10 dismiss the Keisler complaint
against Mrs. Verrault on the ground that
she had never given Keisler a promise
of marriage The commissioner agreed
with Assistant United States District At
turney D0TT that the matter needed
further consideration. and set December
as the date for the hearing
After the disposition of the Keisler
case. Mrs Verrault will be held 70 eX-
plain her affair with Mcclellan.

The visiting members and delegates TO
the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity conven-

Yesterday afternoon they were the
guests Of the officers stationed at Fort

the drill the whole party was taken in
special cars OF the Washington. Arlington
and Mount Vernon Railway TO the Lee
Mansion al Arlington, where they spent
about an hour
At the evening session Of the cOnYen-
tion reports were read from the commit
tee on constitution and the committee on
charters and chapters. 4 number of re-
quests that had been fled with the secre-
tary from several colleges for charters
were adversely voted upon.
A resolution that the fraternity be put
on record as favOring the honor system
in examinations at the several univer-
sites was adopted. This system was first
inaugurated by the University Of Virginia
At this place of learning the faculty has
nothing 20 do with the examinations
given other than to prepare the questions
and mark the students. The supervision
lies entirely with the student body. The
members place themselves upon oath that
they have received no help, and that if
they find a student who has violated this
oath they will report him.
The election of officers for the coming
term will be held this morning in the
New Willard Hotel at Q.90 O'Clock From
present appearances IL seems as If Dick
Little. the idol and former warrior, viii
be elected president. He stated last
night that he would probably decline the
nomination. as he believes he is too
short. He contends that a man in order
to command the respect OF his party
should be of a good height. Mr.. Little is
not more than six feet two, which may
account for his reticence.

of Constantine NJ Scheld, for rent
When the Sheriff went to make a levy
he was informed that the furniture in the
building belonged to the Van Courtland
Bank and the Gotham Safe Deposit Com
pany.
The Equitable Title Guarantee Company
was organized year ago, with capital
stock OF s25oOoo Tho concern has not
vet begun business, however, as it is said
to be waiting for permission from Albany.
The Van CORTLAND Bank is in the Same
building and occupies part of the same
floor on which the Equitable Title Guar
antee Company is supposed to have its
Offices
When a reporter called at the place on
Saturday, however. the building was
vacant. and tho only sign Of an Equitable
Office that could be discovered was the
name of the concern painted on window.
None of the officers of the concern was
to be found. but they were quoted as
saving that the JUDGMENT in favor OF Mr..
Wildwood was taken by default and would
be reopened, and that there was counter
claim in the case Of the Judgment of Mr.
s. held
