them at the first opportunity and then
make his escape.
AS many witnesses were used as
would be necessary in the conduct of
a sensational murder trial. They all
gave incriminating evidence against
the Italian. 1t developed at the trial
that ManZetti was injured in the head
by an accident in one of the mines
some time ago and that since then
he has been irresponsible.
In view of this Justice Johnston did
not push the peace bond as he pre-
ferred to have the man go to Jail as he
believed him an unsafe citizen to be
at large. Johnston pointed out to
Manzettis Interpreter that Manzetti
swore to kill the family, whom he
now believes to be his enemies, and
in view of this Manzetti is considered
far safer behind the county Jail bars
than at large.
netti's seemed to have turned to hate
since Anna Vennetti, handsome Ital-
ian girl, shows more affection toward
James Mullen than toward Manzetti's
nephew, who was also a suitor for
her heart and hand. The families
were always on the best Of terms until
the change in the young woman's
heart, but since the change, Manzetti
has not been the same man. He Is
morose and his one thought is said
to be murder.

Denver, July I've have found
that appalling conditions are being

by the American Smelling and Refin-

Joseph Saturday after the American
Mining Congress special committee
investigating these subjects had lis
tened to the testimony of witnesses.
Settlements are understood to be made
with the oreseller on figures compiled
weekly by the New York Engineering
and Mining Journal. Instead there is
imposed by the trust smelters what
they call a penalty In this great
state of Colorado the penalty on cop
per ores is 10k cents per pound. This
penalty it will be recognized, is now
almost as much as the price of re-
fined copper a few years ago. 1t is
almost As per cent of the price of cop
per at the present time.
According to testimony given today
we learned that Colorado mine owners
with sufficient capital may ship their
ores to Utah and receive net returns

MAN-WOMAN LED AN AMAZING
LIFE OF DECEIT

Chicago, June 27.-The discovery to-
day of diary kept by Nicolai DeRay-
Ian, the mysterious man-woman, for
mer Russian consular clerk here, and
who died in Phoenix, Ariz., the body
afterwards being exhumed to decide
the sex and settle the estate, reveals
an amazing life of deception. Thrice,
the diary admits, DeRaylan convinced
doubters, one of whom was NJ. Pobie-
donostseff, procurator general of the
Russian holy synod and director of
Russia, by ocular demonstration, that
she was man.
1t is story almost without paral-
lei for amazing features, showing the
pluck, resourcefulness and cleverness
of the woman, who began with an Ella
borate and daring scheme to black
mail her mother and force from her
the secret of her own parentage and
her mothers suddenly acquired for
tune, and who then found it necessary
to go through life for eighteen years
disguised as a man and making good"
the bluff under all circumstances, even
when her sex was disputed.
Ncolai DeRaylan's real name was
Taletsky. Her Christian name is un-
known.
She started on her remarkable ca
reer of deception in an effort to black
mail her mother in Russia. 1t became
necessary to continue her disguise be-
cause she was sought for years by the
Russian police.
The compelling motive of DeRay-
lan's entire career was an effort to
prove that her mother had been mas
