Bigelow gave no satisfactory explain
alton and seemed to have no other
purpose than to cause Il sensation.
Bigelow is q years old. He arrived
in Denver several weeks ago and Sc
cured a position as a clerk in Ken
bricks book store. He said he was a
son of C. I. Bigelow, superintendent o.
schools at Bryan. Ohio. On Sunday
night he notified the police that he
overheard two men talking about a
plot to kill Edward Chase, Buchtel and
other prominent men and that Chase's
residence was to be blown up that
night. A search in the vicinity of the
Chase residence resulted in the discov-
cry of a package containing fifty-one
sticks of dynamite.
Bigelow's story Is regarded with sus-
picion and he was placed under ar
rest. He confessed that he himself
placed the dynamite near Chase's
house and that he had sent several
Internal machines by mail. Had this
confession not been obtained in time
to give warning to the men to whom
the machines were sent. those who
opened the boxes would surely have
been killed.

Judge lawlOr Decides 1t Will Be Necessary
to Have Fresh Material
The Oliver Grand Jury Looking Into RumOrs Con-
cerning One of the Votes by Which the Defendant
Was Acquitted.

San Francisco. Oct. S.-The labori-
Gus task of proving the non-necessity
of sheriffs in selecting a jury to retry
Tirey l.. Ford was begun by the de-
fense in Judge LAWYERS department of
the superior court this afternoon. 1t
was Judge LAWYERS idea that the big
jury box having been exhausted by the
rejection, excuse or acceptance of
talesmen, to order the sheriff to bring
into court an entirely new panel of
some hundreds of names.
To this the defense objected and set
up the claim that about 1900 of the
2.400 names deposited in the big jury
box last January are really available
for service at this time. To prove this
assertion the defense today caused the
producing and reading of the jury rec
ords of the eleven other departments
OK the court.
A partial examination of the records
OF the other departments satisfied
Judge Lawler that the minutes had
been improperly made and that it was
impossible TO determine from them
what talesmen were permanently dis
qualified and how many remained ac-
cessible for further service. He there
fore, over the vigorous objection of the
defense, decided to have the sheriff
bring into court an entirely new panel
from which the Ford jury and the 9TH

chosen.

opposing this was that il imposes up

WIDE VARIATION
IN STOCK PRICES
Rumors That Further Reduced Prices
of Copper Fail to Stimulate the De-
mand.

New York, Oct. s.-Fluctuations in
the prices of stocks were quite wide
today and the purposes of the pro-
fessional traders were thus better
served than in the lethargic market
which has prevailed several days.
Some attention was given to the re-
port that further reductions in the
selling price of copper by some of the
great producers fail of attracting any
Considerable demand. The reduction
of dividends by the Rio Tinto COM
pany was the incident of the day in
the foreign markets. but it was notice
able that copper securities were in
clined to advance abroad on the score
that the reduction in the Rio Tinto
dividend was not so radical as had
been feared.
