Gordee and Miss Mclean in
Close Quarters.
EXPECTS HIS WIFE TO HELP
Prisoner Believes He Will Be Cleared
of Charge Of Conspiracy--woman Is
In Cheerful Humor-Secret Service
Detectives Are Very Busy.

| CHICAGO. Nov. 4.--The tribune toda,
says; Unwilling to believe her husban,
under arrest here Is guilty Of plottin,
with Miss Eta Mclean to steal govern
ment information relating to the Johl
r. Walsh Bank case. Mrs Alexander B
Gordee Of Revere Mass. is ready to leays
for the West to aid him.
She denied yesterday the statement
that Gordee had eloped with Misses Nc.
lean. She insisted that he visited bis
home less than two months ago and at
that time suggested taking the family to
Chicago. He had always, she said, been
a good father and loving husband.
His wife's determination to visit
him has encouraged the prisoner to be-
lieye he soon viii be released from the
county jail. He expects she will be able
to furnish the $1,000 surety for his re-.
lease.
The fact that he had been living with
Miss Mclean following his departure
from Boston with her apparently did
not enter into his calculations. Gordee
believes he will be cleared Of the charge
Of conspiracy to steal records or inn
portant letters from the office Of Mr..
Sims. Although the government has
evidence he approached Banker Walsh,
as well as Mr. Walsh's attorney, John
s. Miller, with a view to disposing Of
information Miss Mclean had been able
to secure Gordee's plea win be that
neither Mr. Walsh nor MIR. Miller could
be interested.
Miss Mclean. like Goriee, was In
cheerful humor She learned from some
mysterious source that she was to be-
released shortly--perhaps toiay--on her
own recogni2ance. No such encourage
ment was held out tonight by District
Attorney Sims, however.
Despite Gordee's assertion that he
went to no one but Mr.. Miller and Mr..
Walsh, both Of whom turned him down,
as has been asserted, the secret service
operatives have evidence that he inter
viewed three Others with the same OBJ.

NEW YORK. Nov. 4.--The stoci
market had brief attack Of nervous
ness today but II passed quickly. III.
Momentary shock caused deep inroad,
In some prices but the recovery car,
riel prices In some instances into the
gain column.
The buoyancy In .'le stock market
today reflected the ultimate decision Of
large bankers TO support the Trust Com.
pany Of America and the Lincoln Trust
Company, which have been subject TO
severe runs In the past two weeks. The
day was oLe OF doubt and conflicting
rumcrs and the fact that 1t passed with
out adverse development is evidence
that the worst Of the situation Is pro.
baby over. The committee found both
the Lincoln Trust Company and the
Trust Company Of America solvent, gold
engagements since the beginning Of the
present movement now amount to S32,-
000.0o0 which would more than bring
the loss In the surplus reserve last week.
That gold Is being imported at loss
IL an indication Of the determination Of
New York bankers to strengthen the
position TO the fullest extent. The in.
crease in the bank Of England discount

sufficient to check the gold movement to
This country.
