NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Announce-
ment was made today that Col. Alex
ander S. Bacon and Douglas Wetmore,
attorneys for the Afro-American coun-
ell, have been employed by the soldiers
of companies b, c and d of the Twenty
fifth infantry, who have been ordered
discharged without honor from the
United States army, to take steps for
their reinstatement and to ascertain
what rights they have, If any, to pro-

D0WDALL CASE IS
REVIEWED BY JUDGE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Nov. ~
Judge B. v. Sargent of Salinas,
who sentenced Richard Dow
dali to San Quentin prison for
the alleged robbery of DR.. Le-
land in San Francisco, has an
swered Governor Pardee's re-
quest for a statement of the
case.
"The jury" says Judge Sar-
gent, was convinced of his
guilt and to my mind it was the
only verdict that could have
been rendered on the testi-
mony. l saw nothing what
ever during the trial of the case
to raise a doubt of Dowdall's
guilt, though subsequent de-
velopments seem to alter the
whole case and if it lay in my
power l would gladly reopen
the case"
Judge Sargent expresses sur
prise at the recent develop
ments and says the character of
the evidence produced at the
trial of Dowdall was also sur
prise to him. He says he under
stood that the doctor at the pre-
liminary examination could not
be certain of Dowdall's identi-
fication, but at the trial before
him DR.. Leland was positive
that Doddall was one of the
men who held him up.
Dowdall refused to offer any
testimony and even when
Judge Sargent offered to miti-
gate the punishment the pris-
oner still refused to make any
statement.
"The sentence was severe"
writes Judge Sargent, "and was
imposed solely because of the
nature of the crime. The fact
that Dowdall had made an as
sault on Judge Cook did not in
fuence me in any degree what
ever"

TENOR FRUSTRATED

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Enrico Ca
ruso, the famous tenor who was ar
rested in Central park yesterday on the
complaint of a woman who charged
that he had repeatedly insulted her,
did not appear when his name was
called in police court today.
Nor was Mrs. Hannah Graham, who
preferred the charges against Caruso,
present in court. as4.l 81. y, ...-s s.-s
Former Judge Dittenhoefer, who APP
peared for Caruso, who was released
on bail yesterday, said the tenor was
physically unable to come to court.
He is ill at his hotel, completely
prostrated by the seriousness of the
charge which has been lodged against
him. On the request of Judge Ditten-
hoefer the case was postponed until
next Wednesday.
The Central park policeman who
made the arrest agreed to the post
ponement and informed the court that
he believed he would be able to find
Mrs Graham and have her in court by
that time.
AS the address which she gave at the
time the arrest was made was ficti-
tious one, however, 1t is possible that
the complainant may never appear to
press the charge unless she goes to
court voluntarily.

HERKIMER, N. Y, Nov. 17.-Tha

heard by witnesses who will be called
by the state in the trial of Chester
Gillette, charged with the murder of his
sweetheart, was the declaration of At
torney George b. Ward, who made the
opening speech today.
After describing the trip of the
prisoner and Miss Brown to Moose
lake, from the waters of which the girls
body was later recovered, and a strug-
gle on the shore, the prosecutor said:
And that night as he struck that girl
and her last death cry echoed over the
lake there was witness to all that and
she will be here to tell you about it"
The prosecutors remarks created a
sensation, as 1t was the first intimation
that the state would rely on other than
circumstantial evidence to convict Gill
lette. The prosecutor would not reveal
the identity of his witness, who, he
said, was a woman.
At the session today, which was ad-
journed until Monday, the twelfth juror
