PLAN TO BLACKMA|L
DENVER MILLIONAIRE

DENVER, Aug. 31.-A carefully
planned scheme to blackmail the mil
lionaire owner of coal mines, John
Connell president of the Southern
Coal company to the extent of $685.
600 and perhaps double that amount,
was foiled by Mr.. Connell and his
secretary, Henry J. Hersey, and as a
result of the seheming Mrs. Lillian
Bells, proprietor of the Grenada no.
tel at Eighteenth and Welton streets,
and A. J. Schneider, for several
years an optician of Oklahoma City,
Okla, are in the county jail.
Following his arrest, the man is
said to have confessed his part in the
scheme and to have implicated Mrs.
Bells, the latter being implicated
in addition by the letters which she
admitted having written to Connell
in which yelled threats are made
against him if he did not come to
time with money that was demanded.
Following falling out between
Schneider and the Bells woman,
Schneider went to the Connell resi-

ter he ascertained that Cornell was
in Walsenburg, where he has large
mining interests, endeavored to in
timidate Mrs. Cornell and arouse a
spirit of jealousy against her hus-
band. He stated to Mrs. Connell that
he had letters in his possession that
had passed between Mrs. Bells and
Cornell and that he thought it would
be to the latter's interest to purchase
the documents rather than to have
them made public. An engagement
was made with Schneider to call
again yesterday, and he was arrested.
Mrs. Bells husband, Charles Bel
lis, is employed at the Western Pack
ing company They formerly lived
at the Connell home. When Mrs.
Bells assumed charge of the Gren-
ada, Cornell purchased the place for
her, paying So, 900 and taking chat
tel mortgage on the furniture to Sc
cure himself. 1t is said that from
time to time he has also paid bills for
the woman.
The last chapter in the story came
after the arrest of Schneider and
Mrs. Bells, when summons notifying
him that he was defendant in a
suit for alternating the affections of
Mrs. Bells from her husband were
served on Cornell.

WILL Be ABSENCE
OF SENSAT|ONAL|SM

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-A plea of
temporary insanity from which he
has fully recovered, and so far as
possible an utter absence of the SEN
sationalism that marked the last tri-
al, will be made and pursued by Mar
tin w. Littleton at the next trial of
Harry K. Thaw for the murder of
Stanford White. That has been fully
decided on by Mr.. Littleton, who is to
have complete charge of the defense
of the Pittsburg millionaire.
Littleton will not have the trouble
with Thaw that the other attorneys
in the same case have had. Two long
years of weary confinement is having
its effect on his client, and the head
strong man is more amenable to rea-
son than formerly.
TIL attorney is working hard on the
case at present and is bending every
effort to secure a speedy trial. but
with little likelihood of success. He
would like to have the trial moved up
to the October term, but it will be
well along toward the end of the year
before the district attorney will be
able to proceed.
Littleton brands the story as alb
surb that Thaw is on the verge of
collapse.
Never Been Despondent.
why" he says, there is prac-
tically no man who could have stood
up under the strain as Thaw has. He
has never been respondent and is alb
solutely confident that when his case
is presented to the next jury it will
quickly acquit him."
Mr.. Littleton declined to discuss
how he would conduct the case He
would not say whether it is his in
tention to have Mrs Thaw repeat her
story of her alleged treatment at
Whites hands, but the chances are
very much in favor of his doing So
1t is certain that there will be no
bombastic appeal to the "unwritten
law" and the general defense will be
the temporary insanity plea.
Great stress is to be laid, however,
on the attempts of White to resume
his relations with Mrs. Thaw after
she returned to this country, with
her husband In this connection it is
limited that several new witnesses
will be secured, who will tell of
ence with her.
AT the Tombs the warden states
Thaw is in eXcellen health and has
stood the hot weather confinement
we'll He reads a great
DEAL and is said to be cheerful: BY
order of his attorney no one is per-
mitted to see him outside of his i'm
family.
