CLAIMS She WANTED TO wed
Mrs. Verrault, of Love Syndicate, $
Says She Was in Earnest.
Admits Estimate Of Her Wealth Was
ExngEerated-Did Not Explain
About UndivOrced Husband.

New York Dec. S.-Mrs. Bina Yerrault.
alias Helen Hamilton. on trial before
United States Commissioner Shields. on
charge OF having used the United States
mail with fraudulent intent, and alleged
TO be the head of a love syndicate. 90
took the stand in her own defense to-
day.
Commissioner Shields took a hand in
the questioning, and endeavored to force
Mrs VerTault to admit that her idea
in sending the letters she did to Nc
.Clelland, the grocer. Of Philadelphia. and
others, was for the sole purpose OF
obtaining money from them and not with
any intention of fulfilling her avowed in
tention of marrying the men she is al
legged to have cOurted by mail.
The commissioner questioned the woman
closely as to her relations with AIcCIel-
land, and as to the declarations she
made about the money and property she
had, and the financial status Of her
brother" who, she said, had "injuncted'
her bank funds in Boston.
Mrs. Verrault stoutly declared that her
intention all along was an honest one,
anu A4Act StAC was GtdAlg III StdFCH OF a
husband who would be good and kind
TO her and not in quest of suckers" as
has been intimated in the charges
She declared that some of her state
ments about the amount Of property
she had might have been a trile dis
tended but she resolutely stuck to it
that she did and does own some prop
erty in Milwaukee. Wis, and that her
brother" really has some money and
owns mining interests in Mexico.
Mr.. Dorr confronted Mrs Verrault with
the fact that, although she has a hus-
band from whom she has not been di-
vorced, she was yet looking for another.
or others. She Tefrained from meeting
this issue with any ready reply. Her
counsel, Henry Gordon Miller, was pres
ent at the hearing, and was frequently
heard from while engaged in word bat
ties with Mr.. DOrr over objections TO
questions or testimony.
The hearing was adjourned until De-

NAPLES OSTRACIZES GORKY
Socialistic Writer and Madame An
dresia Forced to Depart.
Latest Play Is Put Under the Ban
Rs Dangerous to Public
Order.

Naples, Dec. S.-Maxim Gorlly finds Ma
pies as much opposed to his views on the
social question as he found America. His
latest cause Of protest came when the
prefect of police placed GOrky's latest
play under the ban or the ground that it
was dangerous to public order.
The play had only been given a few
times. but met with violent protest from
the better element of citizens. The mat
ter was placed before the city officials
and its production in Naples was pro-
hibited
Gorly is disgusted with the stand taken
by the authorities. and has made arrange
ments to leave Naples. Gorky brought
with him Madame Andresia, and the re-
ception accorded the couple was a great
disappointment to them. They were not
received except by the socialistc element
Their stay here has been one Of bitterness
GorlIy has bitterly complained of what
he calls unjust social regulations.

INVALID SUFFOCATED
Joseph H. Gordon Falls from
Bed, UpSetting Stove.
OVERCOME BY THE FUMES
smoke ChOkes out Life Of Sick Man
Before Accident Is Noticed by the
Deceased Was Veteran of Civil
war-NO Inquest Necessary.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Alexandria. Va, Dec S-Joseph H
Gordon. a retired army officer and a
Union veteran Of the civil war. met a
horrible death this evening about :
o'clock in Del Ray. near this city, by
falling from his sick bed and Overturn-
ing an oil stove, the smoke and flames Of
which enveloped his head and produced
speedy suffocation. When his dead body
was discovered, il was lying on the floor
Of his bedroom, in the home Of John
Marcher, where Mr.. Gordon boarded, and
beside it was the overturned stove.
II was this that attracted the attention
Of Mrs. Marcher, who sent her son up
stairs TO ascertain what had happened.
The young man summoned aid, and the
stove was Immediately thrown out OF the
window, while efforts to resuscitate the
unfortunate man were made.
Life Is Extinct.
DT. z. \. German. Of this city. was
sent FOR, and found that Mr.. Gordon had
been dead for some time. His face was
badly burned and his clothes were
sc9rched. but his body was almost unin-
jured.
It appeared evident that death was
caused by sufocation.
Mr.. Gordon, who was about sixty-fve
years Of age. had been in feeble health.
and had been confined TO his room for
the past week. At the time of the acci-
dent there was no one in the room with
him, but it is supposed that he arose from
his bed and stumbled against the stove.
He fell, it is evident and in his weak
condition was unable to protect himself
from the flames and smoke.
No Inquest Necessary.
Coroner Ashton was notified. and after
learning the circumstances in the case
deemed an inquest unnecessary. It is
probable the remains will be inferred in
Arlington National Cemetery, although
no arrangements for the funeral had been
made tonight
Little of Mr.. GOrdon's life history is
known by those at the home of Mr..
Marcher, where he had boarded for five
or six years. but it Is stated that his
native home was in New York State. It
is also said that at the time of his death
he had no near relatives, his brother. his
last remaining close kinsman, having
been killed almost by his side in the bat
tie of Gettysburg

Iy Fights Flames Three Hours.

New York. Dec S-For almost three
hours to-day crew and longshoremen
fought flames on the steamer Huron. OF
the Clyde Line. as she lay at her pier al
the foot Of West Tenth street. Hudson
River. Only by the most strenuous ef-
forts, under the direction of Capt. Chi
chester, was the ship saved from destrdc-
ton.
The fire started early to-day. but no
report was made to the police. and no
alarm was given. Instead, workers on
the pier were pressed into service by
Capt. Chichester. No one was allowed to
leave lest the news Of the fire became
public. As the flames ragged, several
dropped unconscious from the fumes of
burning cotton and Tosin, which had COM
posed the cargo.
The Huron arrived from Charleston a
few days ago.
