PICK JUDGES POCKET
HENRY HAS BEEN TOUCHED
TWICE IN WEEK.
Wallet Extracted from Trousers Pocket
on Trip to Staten Island-He
Called Down Two Men.

Twice within a week former Judge
Thomas s. Henry, OF this city, has been
the victim of pickpockets, his expert
ence with the light-ingered artists
costing him $50 besides several valua-
BILE papers, checks and promissory
notes. The most exasperating robbery
was that of yesterday morning, when
pickpockets lifted Judge Henry's
pocketbook from the side pocket of his
trousers containing $25 in bills, checks
for about 5000 and a promissory note
for 5000
The robbery yesterday Judge Henry be-
lieves, was committed while he was get
ting ON a train at Elizabeth on his way
10 Staten Island. He, in company with
Theodore GOttlieb, who is associated with
him in the law, left Newark at 8 O'clock
on the Central Railroad to see a cricket
match at Staten Island. AS they were
boarding a. train at Elizabeth two men
got between him and Mr.. Gottlieb. Both
men, Mr.. Henry says. appeared to be
very anxious to assist the passengers on.
Judge Henry says he paid little attention
to anything other than to ger a seat in the
car. but he could not help noticing the
actions of the two young men who were
jostlng the passengers. AS soon as he got
on the step of the car one of the men
gave the judge violent shove and at the
same time he felt that his pocketbook was
leaving his trousers pocket. He turned to
the men and asked them II they did not
have more manners than to jostle people
that way, and one of them apologized to
the Newarker, saying that 1t was an
accident.
Once on the platform Judge Henry put
his hand In his pocket and found that
his pocketbook was missing. He went
short distance to see If the men who had
pushed him were around, but he could not
find them both having disappeared in a
crowd
On discovering his loss Judge Henry inn
mediately went to hotel and wrote letters
and ordered payment on the checks stopped.
He feels certain that the man who gave
him the unnecessarily hard push was the
one who got his pocketbook.
On last Friday Judge Henry says he
was robbed of S25 in mysterious manner.
He has not the slightest idea how he lost
It, but feels sure that his pocket was
picked. He placed the money in an en-
velope and put 1t in the inside pocket of
his coat. When he went to look for 1t
Saturday 1t was gone. He could find no
trace of 1t.

PARROTS CRIES

AT FIRE
Hamburger Rushes Through
Smoke to Supposed Rescue.
James St. People Routed.

A fire at 166 james street Wednesday
night came near resulting in the death of
several occupants as they had to fight
their way through flames to the street.
The house is three-story frame build
ing, and the first and second floors were
occupied by Charles Mccain with his
wife and son, and the third floor by Will
lam Carse and his family.
The fire was discovered about Ii o'clock
in the kitchen of Mr. McCann's apartments,
on the first floor, by Mr.. Mccain, who,
with his wife and son, slept on the second
floor. He awakened his wife and led her
and his son downstairs through thick
smoke, and then went back to fight the
fire.
In the meantime Mr. Carse got his fam
lily out with much difficulty as the smoke
affected them so much they could hardly
see.
When the firemen sTrived they found
Mccain hard at work trying to save some
of his effects. and that his face was badly
burned and his hair snged.
Some of the spectators said that the
Carse family were not all out, and
ladder was quickly put up to the front
windows of the third floor.
Among those who went to the apart
ments was Lieutenant Hamburger, of the
Salvage Corps. He shouted as soon as
he got into the building: rs there any
body In here?" A voice answered "Yes"
in q husky tone. With his heart in his
mouth with fear that he might be too
late to save the owner of the voice, he
called: "Where are your" ''Here"' re-

NEVER MADE BOMBS
WITNESS DENIES EVER HELP
ING HARRY ORCHARD.
Member of Executive Board of Fedora
ton of Miners Killed on Way
to Haywood Trial.

BOISE, Ida, July 5.-When the Hay
wood trial was resumed at 10 a. m.
today there were few spectators in the
big court room. This was due in large
degree to the fact that Boise's Fourth
of July celebration is still in progress,
and does not officially end until after
the masquerade ball tonight.
The defense offered as the first wit
ness of the day Marion w. Moore of
McCabe, Ariz., member of the ex-
ecutive board of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners.
AS Mr.. Moore took the stand Attor-
ney Clarence Darrow announced that
another member of the executive board,
Frank Schneider, was killed In Denver
night before last while boarding train
to come to Boise as a witness.
Owing to the unfortunate circum-
stance Mr.. Darrow said the defense
might be compelled to ask for days
delay little later on, in which 1t would
be necessary to secure from various
other sources the testimony expected
from Schneider.
The witness, Moore, was asked as to
the circumstances In which he agreed
to take letter to Alaska for Harry
Orchard and mail 1t from Nome to the
second Mrs. Orchard in Colorado.
Moore said he first met Orchard In
Denver in May. 1904.
II was sitting on a bench in CouEi
House Square," replied Moore, when m
came up and introduced himself, saying
he had seen me in the Occur d'Alene.

Later he came to my room and asked II

1t was addressed to Mrs Harry Orchard,
and he told me he wanted to get rid of
that woman. He said he might come
up to Alaska later on himself. arrived
In Nome August u, 1905. and two days
later remembered and mailed the letter."
Owen Barnes, who was implicated by
Orchard in his testimony as aiding him
In the manufacture of certain bombs,
testified that he had been n member of
tho Western Federation of Miners for
many years. In 1904 he lived in cabin
near the Independence depot. Orchard

CELEBRATION
OF 4TH COST
LIVES
Number Of Manned Reaches
2,l53--New York Leads in
Killed and Injured.

Thirty-seven men, women and chill
dren are dead ana 2.153 are manned,
lacerated or burned as a result of yes
States. The number of the dead does
not include five drowned during the
day.
The roster of the dead is four more
than last years mortality. A year ago
thirty-three persons were dead on the
morning after the Fourth. not includ-
ing five drowned.
Unfortunately the death roll will in
crease day by day, and even the late
days of August will witness additions
to 1t. Tetanus, that grim aftermath
of gunpowder wounds, claims its vic
Tins by scores and even by hundreds
for weeks after the Fourth.
New York leads all the cities of the
United States in the number of killed
and injured. Ten persons are dead In
that city, while six more are SO serious
ly hurt that 1t is expected they will
die within a few hours. At the New
York hospitals 423 injured persons were
treated. No record was made of the
number of dispensary cases cared for.
The police. doubtless, averted a
greater casualty list by arresting 428
men and boys for carrying weapons.
There were 116 fires in Greater New
York during the day. These figures
break all Fourth Of July records for
the big metropolis.
Pittsburg ran New York close Sec
ond in the grim races, nine persons
yielding UP their lives on the eltar of
frenzied patriotism.
Chicago, although the second city of
the country. added only two dead to
the nations total.
Springfield, ILL.,. supplied three vic
Tins Chatham, ILL.,, two, and Aber-
deem, S. D.. two. No other town or
city in the country gave up more than
one of it's own to death.
The total number of injured, 2.153. Is
under last years figures, which were
2,7s9.
The figures show that this year, as
last, the most of the casualties were
due to carelessness in handling fire.
crackers and other forms of harms
less explosives"
Victims of gunpowder this year stand
second in number, but SHOW a marked
decrease from last years figures.
The crusade against the deadly toy
pistol seems to be bearing fruit, as
this year only 205 victims are reported,
as against S04 last year.
