BLAME ALL PUT

Jury in the Nichols Case De-
liberating Upon a Verdict
Judge Favored Prisoner.

Pittsburg, Nov. 6.-The jury in the
United States district court before
which Forrest r. Nichols, former Sec
rotary to w. H. Andrews, the Pennsyl-
vania politician, who is now territorial
delegate to congress from New Mexico,
was tried on charges of aiding and
abetting the wrecking of the Enter
prise National bank of Allegheny two
years ago, retired today and is still de-
liberating
Both Nichols and Andrews testified
for the defense. Both had been init
mate friends and close business asso-
ciates of T. Lee Clark, the cashier, who
that the bank had lost nothing through
Nichols, and that there was no inten-
ton to defraud in any of the transac-
tons. Concerning two checks of $1,000
each, both testified that this was an
accommodation transaction for Clark,
who said he needed $4,000 to make up
payrolls. Clark gave Nichols certified
checks of the Enterprise bank, al
though Nichols, had no balance in the
bank, and Nichols had these cashed at
other banks and the money turned over
to Clark. Andrews endorsed one of
these checks. Both Andrews and Mich
OILS testified that they realized no ben
eft on these transactions. When the
bank suspended Nichols owed 1870,
which he paid the receiver.
Several court officials and other
prominent men were called by the de-
Tense as character witnesses for Mich
OILS.
The charge Of the judge was consid-
cred favorable to Nichols, the court
instructing the jury that the intent of
the participant must be considered
with reference to the criminality of the
Charles Menzer, former teller of the
enterprise bank. now serving a five
years sentence for his part in wrecking
the institution, was brought from the
Western penitentiary to testify against
Nichols.

ST. JOHN WILL RECOVER
Suspicion That Some One Else Be-
sides Mullaney Was Firing
at the Agitator.
Especial to The Herald.)

Goldfield, New, Nov. 6.-Physicians
at the Miners Union hospital last night
amputated the leg of Pat Tenant, the
man who was shot by Paddy Mullaney.
ST. John, the man Mullaney was after,
was badly wounded in the right hand
and forearm and in the left shoulder,
but will recover.
Certain peculiar conditions lead the
officers to believe that some one else
besides Mullaney fired a revolver. Rob-
ert Kelly, a carpenter, who was coming
from Sands store, more than a block
from the scene of the shooting. was hit
by what is believed to be spent ball.
At the time st. John was fleeing in the
opposite direction from Sands store,
and the Mullaney fire was directed at
him. st. John was armed with an au-
tomato revolver, but made no attempt
to use 1t. He ran to the Hermitage sa-
loon at Creek and Main streets, where
he fell. The revolver dropped from his
person at the corner and was taken
into the Hermitage saloon.

the election the company sold tickets at

basis they sought renewal of their fran

a straight 3-cent platform. 1t is probable
that the Cleveland Electric. Railway COM

was carried by a large majority at yes

MANY TELLTALE LETTERS
Mrs. Bradley Alleged to Have In

(special 70 The Herald.l


Washington, Nov 6.-District Attor-
ney Baker has collected a number of
alleged discriminating letters that Mrs.
Annie NJ. Bradley, charged with the
murder of former Senator Brown of
Utah, wrote to friends and acquaint-
ances while confined in jail. These let
tiers are expected to be of special value
as evidence at the trial. 1t is said
those that reflect in any manner upon
Mrs. Bradley's state of mind during
her, trip to Washington from Salt Lake
and during her confinement just after
she shot Brown. have been kept, and
will be introduced as evidence during
the trial, which is on the calendar for
November. Other letters which in no
way refer to the act for which Mrs.
Bradley will be placed on trial for her
life have been mailed. Mrs. Bradley,
it is said, had been specially cautioned
by her attorneys not to write any let
tiers of incrimi hating nature for the
mail, but, according to reliable infor-
nation. such letters are now In the,
hands of Mr.. Baker. Assistant Attor-
ney Harvey Given said today that he
had seen every letter written by Mrs.
Bradley, and that he now has in his
office a stack of letters that Mrs. Brad
ley has written, and which he has been
going over carefully. All letters that
in any manner bear upon the forth
coming trial of Senator Browns slayer.

idence in the case.
Attorney Hoover, of counsel for Mrs.
Bradley, said: 1.-The idea that Mrs.
Bradley has written discriminating let
tiers is absurd-absolutely out of the
question"

ACCUSED ACTOR
FACES CHARGES
Raymond Hitchcock Appears
in Criminal Court at Time
Set by the Judge.
DECLARES HIS INNOCENCE
ARRAlGNED AND RELEASED ON
BAIL.
DECLARES HIS INNOCENCE

New York, Nov. 6.-Raymond Hitch
cock, the actor who disappeared sew
eral days ago after he had been indict-
ed on charges preferred By several
young girls. appeared at the criminal
court building today and went to the
office of the district attorney. Hitch
cock was under bond to appear in court
this afternoon.
Since Hitchcock's disappearance the
police of the entire eastern section of
the United States and Canada have
been searching for him, but nothing of
his whereabouts was known until he
appeared at the criminal court building
today. He went directly to the dis
trict attorneys office from whence, &C
companied by his wife and counsel, he
was taken to court of general sessions
where bail was fixed at $500.
Beginning of the Scandal.
The first intimation of trouble came
several months ago, when Hitchcock
was appearing in the leading role in "A
Yankee Tourist" through the publi-
cation of a story in a local newspaper,
containing practically the same allie
cations as those that led to the indict-
ments. No action of any kind was
taken at this time, however, and 1t
was not until the opening of the pres
ent theatrical season. which found
Hitchcock again appearing in "A Yam
kee Tourist" that the storm broke.
The first real sensation came when the
actor caused the arrest on a charge of
blackmail of a brother of one of the
young girls whose name had been men,
toned in the charges against Hitch
cock. In a few days Hitchcock was
summoned to the Office of the district
attorney and was arrested on a charge
of criminal assault. Two days SUISSE
quently, while he was at liberty on bail,
the indictments were returned by the
grand jury and almost simultaneously
Hitchcock dropped out of sight.
Actor Allowed Bail.
, Hitchcock was arraigped upon only
one of the six indictments against him,
to which he pleaded not guilty and fur
nished bail. He was paroled in custody
of his counsel upon the other five. His
counsel said the actor had not been
out of New York. but had been suffer-
ing from nervous prostration as a re-
suit of the charges. This, he said, was
the first day he had been able to go
out.
Hitchcock looked pale and haggard
and showed signs OF illness. He said
he had decided to face his accusers and
try TO win back the confidence of his
friends and the public.
II am innocent" he said, "and the
only way for me to prove ii is to stand
trial. I am prepared to fight it out
now and I'll go through with it,
While Hitchcock was in court his
wife remained in the district attorneys
office and in a semi-hysterical condi-
ton.

ans Will Stop Five Times on
Voyage to San Francisco.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The itinerary
of Admiral Evans battleship fleet on
its voyage to San Francisco was made
public at the navy department today

OF these places it will remain from five
to eleven days, except at Magdalena
bay, from which place the date of de-
parture depends upon the completion
of target practice there. For the same
reason the date of arrival at San Fran
cisco has not been determined.

will leave Hampton Roads Dec. 3, and
because of their greater speed. more
limited draught and smaller tonnage,
these boats will stop at many more
places than the battleships.
The stay of the torpedo boat destroy
ers at each port will be about four or
five days. The itinerary contemplates
their arrival at various places as fol-
lows:
San Juan, Dec. Z; Trinidad, Dec. 15;
Para, Dec. 26; Pernambuco, Jan. @;
Rio dc Janeiro, Jan. Is: Montevideo,
Jan. %; Punta Arenas, Feb. s; Talca-

ma, March 16; Acapulco, March 2S, and
Magdalena bay, April 6. AS in the case

parture from Magdalena bay and ar
rival at San Francisco depend upon
the completion of target practice In
the bay The f1otilla will be command
ed by Lieutenant Commander Cone.
