the pending indictments, it is believed, will
be Of men against whom true bills have al
ready been returned. 1t is also said that
the majority of the indictments will not be
on charges of bribery, but will allege that
perjury has been committed In connection

FLORES HELD FOR OBSERVATION.
Arrested for Threatening President
and Writing Wild Letters

NEW YORK April 6-Fearing that ha
might attempt to carry into effect threats
which 1t is charged he has made against
both President Roosevelt and United States
Pension Commissioner Warner Pension
Examiner p. L. Cole yesterday caused the
commitment to Bellevue Hospital for OBJ
servation, of Marcos Flores, a native of San
Antonio, Texas. but of Spanish descent,
and at present resident of this city. The
commitment papers were signed by Magis-
trate Wahle in the Tombs court
The threats which Flores is alleged to
have made contained in letters with
which he has deluged the pension office
at Washington for over a year and in
which. it is charged, lie has threatened
dire results TO President Roosevelt and
Commissioner Warner unless action was
taken on a pension claim Of his brother
Alfredo. who served in the 18th Infantry
during the Spanish war and wslo died on
last Thanksgiving day, leaving a widow
and child at 537 West 47th street. Manhat-
tan. These letters contain frequent refer
ences to Czolgosz, the slayer of President
Mckinley.
More than thirty OF these letters are now
in the possession of the district attorneys
office, where they were submitted by Elk
aminer Cole, after being received by him
from S. w. Cudday. chief of the law
division of the pension bureau. In referring
to them Mr.. Cudday said: They are appar-
emily the work OF a crank. or of demented
person. Many of them contain scurrilous
attacks the commissioner of pensions
and also yelled threats"
Flores also had a deluson that Nathan
Straus had swindled him out of patents
which would have been worth millions OF
dollars to him. and he FASTENED his COM
mitment to the hospital by adding to the
others threats against Mr.. Straus.

CASE NOT ABANDONED.
Attorney Clements to Continue Efforts
for Joseph Thomas.


The statement published in The Star Of
yesterday in regard to the case of Joseph
Thomas, alias John Wright was shown to
Mr.. James E. Clements, the attorney. who
since Wright was convicted has made an
earnest and vigorous fight to save his eli
ents life, and he declared that since the
verdict was given he alone has had entire
charge of the case. and he did not nor did
his client authorize Mr.. Basil Boteler to pc
ttion the jury to sign for communication of
sentence. The time was most improper and
inopportunte, he said, as the application
for rehearing was then before the appel
late court at Richmond, Va.
Mr.. Clements stated further that it is I'M
true that counsel has abandoned all efforts
in behalf Of Wright. Er3
While the supreme court declined to re-
hear the case" he said, 1T did so by
divided court of three to two. and the two
dissenting opinions are strong and over
whelming in their conclusions, which he
as counsel has always maintained-that IL
Wrights life is to be forfeited IL will be
upon incompetent and illegal testimony ad-
mitteds before the jury over the earnest
protest of counsel for the prisoser.
And in all three opinions of the supreme
court" Mr.. Clements states, lit is made
clear that the refusal of the majority to
grant a new trial is based purely upon a
technical rule of law and practice and
therefore If Wright is hanged 1t will be due
to technical errors alone"
MT. Clements IL prtniy CoHNiuceu, ne says,
as he has always been, that the crime itself
was not proved and the Identification of
the prisoner by Mabel Risley as her assail-
ant was a total failure. Mr.. Clements con-
tends that IL the prisoner is hanged in the
face of the two powerful dissenting opin-
ions of the supreme court ii will be moth:
ing short of judicial murder.
He further stated that Wrights conduct
in Jail has never changed he has been
quiet and composed at every turn his case
has taken, and stands today Cnperturbed
and undismayed. This. he said, is due to
the mans own consciousness of his abso-
lutte innocence of the~crime for which his
life il sought to be taken.

- q
In the council this morning Mr..
Miera introduced and the council
passed, under suspension of the rules
and by unanimous vote, council bill
No. SO, which takes the county of
SanduVal away from the BernalillO
district for district attorney and iu-
dlcial purposes and places it in the
First judicial district, for judicial pur~
poses, and in the district with Santa
Fe county, for district attorney pur-
poses. The district attorney bill now
in the committee on judiciary con-
tains a provision making the change
for Sandoval county into the Santa
t'e district, and the introduction Of
the separate bill this morning and its
passage Is merely another indication
of the improbability of any revival Of
the district attorney bill.
There has been no objection from
any source to changing Sandoval
county and since that county has eX-
pressed a desire for the change there
is no opposition to the bill to be eX-
uected
The council also passed, under sus-
pension of the rules this morning
council bill No. "a, by Mr.. Martinez.

ing 1t part of the duties of the trav-
cling auditor to inspect and report

as well as upon banks and trust com
panies organized under the laws of
the territory.
Councilman Miera this morning in
trOduced council bill No. 81. an act
increasing the appropriation FOR
maintenance of the mounted police
and increasing the pay of members
of the mounted force. The bill fixes
the salary of the captain at $4,000 an
nually; lieutenant, $l,500; sergeant,
$1,000. and privates $1,0S0 each. The
appropriation for incidental and Of
flee expense is increased to $4,000,
while the total appropriation for the
use of the force, not to be exceeded
in any one year. is increased from
$4,000 to $21,66O.
