Accidental death" was the verdict
of the coroner's jury at the inquest
held over the body of Harriet M. Gray,
the aged woman who was killed by
being run down by a Los Angeles Pa
cihc car at Sixteenth and Fedora
streets Saturday afternoon While going
from the grave of her husband in the
Rosedale cemetery.
After the inquest Charles E. Richards
a nephew of the dead woman, said,
speaking on behalf Of the family that
they did not hold the company re-
sponsible for Mrs. Gray's death.
Mrs. Gray was crossing the tracks
when struck. She was very deaf and
1t is supposed she did not hear the
car approaching, 1t is said by pas
sengers on the car that the motorman
did not ring the gong until nearly upon
the woman.

Soft Spot for DepeW

II explained to him that understood
the difficulty here was mainly caused
by the upstate leaders being unwilling
to support Depew for reelection as
United States senator; that if he, De-
pew, could be taken care of in some
other way 1 thought matters could be
adjusted and the different contending
clements in the party brought into al
lance again. We talked over what
could be done for Depew, and finally he
agreed If found necessary he would ap-
point him as ambassador to Paris.
with full belief that he. the presi-
dent, would keep this agreement,
came back to New York, sent for
Treasurer Bliss, who told me that 1
was their last hope and that they had
exhausted every other resource.
I'm his presence l called up an inti-
mate friend of Senator Depew, told him
that it was necessary in order to carry
New York state that 100000 should
be raised at once, and If he would help
would subscribe $4,000. After a few
words over the telephone the gentleman
said he would let me know, which he
did in three or four hours. with the re-
suit that the whole amount, including
my subscription. had been raised.
THE checks were given to Treasurer
Bliss, who took them to Chairman Cor
telyou. If there were any among them
of the life insurance companies of
course Cortelyou must have informed
the president. 1 do not know who the
subscribers were other than the friend
of Depew, who was an individual. This
| amount enabled the New York state
committee to continue it's work with
the result that at least $4,000 voters
were turned in the city of New York
alone, making difference of 100000

Sidney webster is lawyer ana

tagonizing Mr.. Hartman.
This is the letter:

"Dear Sir: l am glad to see that you

1T had printed copies of the testi-
mony sent you. in hope that you would

in allowing myself to be drawn into

President to Blame
"As to my political instincts, to which
you refer in your letter Of December
13. 1 am quite sure have none and my
being made at all prominent in the po-
litical situation is entirely due to Presl-
dent Roosevelt and because of my tax
ing an active part In the autumn OF
1904 at his request and his taking ad-
vantage of conditions then created to
further his own interests. If 1t had
been a premeditated plot, it could not
have been better started or carried out
about a week before the election in
the autumn of 1904, when 1t looked GER
tain that the state ticket would go
Democratic, and was doubtful as to
Roosevelt himself. he, the president,
sent me a request to go to Washington
and confer upon the political condi-
tions in New York state. l compiled
and he told me he understood the cam
paign could not be successfully carried
on without sufficient money and asked
if l would help them in raising the
necessary funds. as the national COM
mittee had utterly failed of obtain
ing them and there was large amount
due from them to the New York state
committee.
