"Jim" Was the Sacrifice.
The Donaldson case, as the first of
all the cases growing out of the Nc
Whittier robbery, has aroused much
comment The finding of the jury yes
terday is the subject of much discus
sion. Friends of Jim Donaldson say
that he has been made the fall guy,
offered as a sort of vicarious sacrifice
for the sins of others as well as him
self.
The next move on the part of the de-
Tense will be the filing of motion for
a new trial. which will be done tOmOr-
row morning. The record in the case
viii be transcribed, and the argument
in the case will probably be made at
the September term of court Failing
in their attempt to get a new trial, the
defense will carry the case to the su-
preme court, relying on the questions
of law raised during the progress of
the case.
From the opening of the case it was
a pretty battle between District At
tOrney LoOfbOurOw for the state and
Attorney Sam King for the defense.
DonaldsOn's alert attorney did not
overlook a single legal point in the
fight and lost no opportunity to put
in issue some legal point which might
give him grounds for an appeal. The
case of the defense was exceptionally
we'll prepared, and the case it present
ed was much stronger than had been
considered possible by those who had
followed the developments closely.
What was conceded TO be the only

WALTER HERNE, NOTORIOUS NEGRO,
MAKES HIS ESCAPE FROM CITY JAIL

Walter Herne. the notorious negro who
was sentenced to seventy-five days in the
city jail for assaulting a woman, has
mysteriOusIy escaped. He gained his lib
erty some time yesterday and no one
knows how he got out. There are no
traces of his having sawed through the
bars. He is now at large and the police
are trying to capture him. 1t was report
ed last night that he was seen in the
American rooming house on Commercial

street, but when the police searched the
place, he could not be found.
Herne mad threatened to kill a woman
and apparently was carrying out his
threats when he was arrested. He was
yiciOusly beating her when another negro
inteTfered and hit him with the butt of a
revolver. This dazed him and a police
man was called. When he was on his
way to the station Herne came to his
senses and put up a hard fight. Since his
mysterious escape he has been seen by
the officers, but they were unable to cap
ture him.

Court in Denver. 3
ONE DEFENDANT SMILES
DECLARES THE PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST HIM A joke"

St Louis. July 6.-Information of the
indictment OF eight St. I1ouisians by the
federal grand jury in Denver for alleged
participation in the fraudulent entry of
coal lands in Colorado and Montana has
been received here by District Attorney
Blodgett, and the names of the five were
made public today.
The indictments are against L. NJ.
Rumsey of 1878 West Minister place, pres
ident of the L. NJ, Rumsey Manufactur-
ing company; Frank T. Fay, a promoter;
Charles II. Dodge and his wife, Mrs. An
ma Dodge, and William Baer, an attOr-
ney.
District Attorney Blodgett has notified
each of those indicted to appear and give
bond before United States Commissioner
MOrsey for their appearance for trial in
Denver at the next sitting of the federal
district court there.
The charge upon which indictments
were brought alleges they participated
in the fraudulent entry of land, thereby
defrauding the government out of a large
amount OF money.
At the office of the /. NJ. Rumsey Man
ufacturing company II was stated that
Mr.. Rumsey is out of the city, and it was
not known where he is. He left St. Louis
ten days ago for business trip in the
west and his firm has received no tidings
from him In nearly a week, although re
peated efforts have been made to locate
him. 1t was said ne should be in Philips
burg, Mont. but that he had left there

Frank Fay, the indicted land promoter
tonight made light of the indictment.
This Indictment is a joke" said Mr..
Fay. There is absolutely no foundation
for it, and when we file our demurrer
next Wednesday it will be quashed.
Byron Abbott the United states COM
missioner, has been retained to defend
my interests in the matter, and he as
sures me that the Indictment is farce.
Mr.. Fay also states that he was the
one that interested several St. Louis men
in the proposition, but that now he is
done with II forever.

Particularly strong was the plea Of
Attorney 5. A. King for his client be-

possible manner Mr. Kings closing
address was no doubt partially respon-
sibe for the two votes for acquittal
given by the jurors on the first ballot

CAN HARDEN PURE GOLD.
Alabama Man Accidentally Made Re-
markabIe Discovery.

Montgomery. Ala.-Alfred Weaver,
Of this city, has, in collaboration with
John Edward Carney, and while en-
gagged in laboratory experiments in
search of a new cOherer material for
wireless telegraphy. discovered the art
Of hardening and tempering the
precious metals. such as platinum,
gold and the like, without allOying
them with other metals.
The results obtained by Mr.. Weav-
er's process are the enormous reduc-
tion in the fusing point of those metals
and the imparting to them of a degree
Of hardness in some instances surpass-
Ing that of the best tool steel when
hardened. Platinum, one of the most
refractory of metals, heretofore re-
uuiring for its fusion the oxyhydrogen
flame, or the vOltaic arc, is, after be-
ing subjected to the new process,
easily melted before an ordinary gas
Dline blowpipe and may be cast, again
melted and recast indefinitely.
So great a hardness is impaired TO
these metals by Mr.. Weaver's process
that a piece of gold or platinum, for
Instance, can with the greatest diff
Guilty be abraded by the best steel file
and a sphere of either of these metals
Of say two millimeteTs diameter, when
placed upon a hardened steel anvil
and struck a sharp blow with an eight
ounce steel hammer, will resist such
1 blow and suffer only the slightest al
seratiOn in shape.

A statement issued by the Meta

when merely read under ordinary

Love Not Marriage Motive.

Paris.-A French statsucian recently
asked 80 girls between Is and II years
why they wished TO marry. Sixty-one
were unable to specify their reasons,
five replied that they wanted to be
able to go out alone, ten in order to
amuse themselves, five so they could
travel, seven because they wanted to
own their own homes, and four want
ed to marry for the sake of a future
family. Three did not wish to get
married. None suggested love as a
motive fer matrimony, but doubtless
many OF ten were too shy to do so.

NEW STEAM TORPEDO
SEA TERROR WITH TWICE RANGE
or OLD ONES.
Little Vessels Nov Able to Defy Big
Battleships-may Launch Dead
: iy Missiles Without Com
ing Under Fire.

New York.-By devising a torpedo
propelled by steam generated in the
burning of high explosives carried
within 1t in concentrated form. Hiram
Maxim has concluded experiments
from which he asserts that the range
OF naval torpedOes will be doubled and
naval warfare revClutioniZed.
To meet the demand that tOTpedOes
must have effective range equal to the
gunfire 10 which the attacking torpedo
boat would be subjected, Mr.. Maxim
burns mOtorite, a new explosive, to
generate steam at high pressure.
and by this means the regulation naval
torpedo is made much more efficient
than when driven by compressed air,
the motive power now generally used.
In his home in Brooklyn, Mr.. Max
i'm told of his latest invention.
IN spite of the wonderful things
that had been expected of the autOmO-
bile torpedo as an auxiliary arm in
naval warfare" he said, "disappOint-
ment has been the result when it has
been relied upon. The cause OF this
failure and disappointment is because
the deadly quick-firing gun has been
developed to such a degree of perfec-
ton and such great range that when
the torpedo boat of an enemy comes
to the attack it is sunk long before it
can get anywhere near enough to be
within tOrpedOing distance of a bat
tleship. II Is met with a storm of
prOjectiles from quick firing guns
which fly toward it with frightful ac-
Curacy. and the range of these pro-
jectiles is so much greater than that
of the automobile torpedo that the tor
pedo boat is destroyed in not much
more time than is needed TO make this
statement
''In outward appearance my torpedo
Is no different from the regulation
type, but a self-cOmbustive material
called mOtOrite, similar in compost
ton to smOkeless powder, is employed
20 furnish the motive power for driv-
ing it through the water. This dis
penses with the use of the heavy air
flask and the latter is replaced with
light casing in which the mOtorite is
burned in the presence of water TO
produce steam with which to drive the
torpedo engine.
1T ought to give US a range at least
twice as great as the present torpedo
with the maximum speed that can be
got from the prOpellers.
The enormous range of the Maxim
torpedo is a great desideratum, for it
will then bring the range of the tor
pedO up to that of the guns which will
be opposed to it.
Summing up for. the new motorite
propelled torpedo, I am sure of pro-
ducing greater efficiency due to long
er range, more uniform speed and
higher speed during the entire run;
ineXpensiYeness as the high cost air
flask is done away with; greater safe
ty on shipbOard as the highly charged
air flask-2,250 pounds to the square
inch-makes the torpedo a huge bomb
II struck by a shot from the enemy,
and the great item of saving the ex-
pense of air cOmpressOTs now installed
on torpedo boats.
'Filled with mOtOTite, the Maxim
torpedo will always be ready for dis
charging like a shOtted gun"
