SIMS DEPARTURE MYSTIFIES
B0naparte Coming South, but Attor-
ney Goes on Vacation.
May Have Cards up His Sleeve, Of
ficiaIs Thinlz-Neyy View of
Landis' Tack.

II was confidently believed yesterday
afternoon that the cloud Of mystery
which has enveloped the failure OF United
States Attorney Sims TO make public the
letter Of Attorney General Bonaparte re-
garding the Alton immunity cases would
be dlspelled There was a story afoat
that the United States attorney had left
Chicago for the East and that Attorney
General Bonaparte had simultaneously de-
parted for Baltimore from Lenox. Mass.
where he has been resting.
II was the opinion that Tie two Fed
eral law officers would meet, either in
Washington OF Baltimo. to-day. and
that from this conference would issue
some explanation why the district attor-
ney had not carried cat the instructions
Of the Attorney Gt~aral by recognizing
the immunity plea Of the Atoms officers
But Mr. Sims plans. according 10 the
latest advices here last night, have taken
him into the woods Of Michigan to COM
plete his summer vacation. and there is
now no immediate prospect OF the confer
ence.
The law officers at the Department Of
Justice. in the absence OF official ad-
vices. are trying TO account for the ac-
ton Of District Attorney Sims They are
Of the opinion that he Is merely trying
10 preserve testimony that may be need
ed If a rehearing Of the case is granted.
II the immunity plea were now accepted.
il might not be possible 20 draw from
the Chicago and Alton officers at the
rehearing Of the case the evidence neces-
sary TO convict the Standard OIL Com
pany again. II Is the view at the De-
partment Of Justice. therefore. that the
United States attorney is deferring final
action on the immunity plea until the
fate Of the motion for a rehearing Of tie
Standard OH case IS determined
Judge lands has made the discovery, It
IS said, that if the immunity plea were
/ recognized at this time and a rehearIng
granted Of the Standard Oil cases. there
would be no power to compel the Chicago
and Alton officers 10 testify at the second
hearing. To preserve the testimony for
the prosecution Of the Standard Oil Com
pany is said 10 be the moving considera-
/ ton influencing Judge Lands and United
| States Attorney Sims 10 withhold consent
/ to the immunity Arrangement.

cially when that matter is not pressing.
Ii has been agreed that the fleet or at

The jury, however, still has under con
sideration evidence against certain officers,
and 1t is not unlikely that other indict-
ments will be found.

de Of December and that IL was in con-
nection with the formation Of the part
nership Of Peckham and Mercer, which.
he said. was formed for the purpose OF
conducting a mining brokerage business.
This paper is the one which Van Ripper
testified was torn up in his office and sub
sequentiy taken out Of a waste basket
and put together by ais clerk at his re-
quest
Holmes said that this firm was organ
lied solely for the purpose of dealing in
mining stocks. He said that when on a
visit to Van Ripers Office In December, be
was invited TO go to the quarters Of the
new firm of Peckham & Mercer, and, ac-
cepting, went there with Haas. He was
surprised to find that instead Of a mining

Protests Against Business.
He said that upon his return to Van
Riper's office, he at once stated he could
not figure IN such a scheme as long as
he was occupying the position Of Gsso-
ciate statistician, and therefore tore up
this paper, ending his connection with the
firm. He stated that so far as he under
stood Il, the firm was dissolved then. Van
Ripper testified that the firm was dis
solved on account Of disagreement which
was precipitated by Haas claiming that
Van Ripper had not invested deeply
enough in the market at the time the
Sl67. 900 was cleaned up.
Mr.. Beach asked Holmes If he did not
recollect telling William II. Moran,
Secret Service agent. in June 1905, that
he had sold his mine and had received
$4,000 for It IN two payments, one for
$4,000, and enc for $4,000. Holmes re-
piled that he remembered talking to
Moran about the sale Of tie mine, but
did not recollect telling him how it had
been paid for.
Holmes identified a series of deposit
slips showing deposits by him Of money
In this city January o, 1875. for 5000;
March 2. Of S6,100. and one dated in April
1906, for $3.50. This latter check he said
