Boston, Sept. 2o.-The postponement
OF the arraignment of Chester S. Jor.
dan, the alleged wife murderer, which
was 70 take place at noon yesterday,
and the words Of his counsel. Jere.
miah :. Sullivan-"We are going 10
fight every step In this case"-are
looked upon as significant features Of
the case.
Following the announcement that
yesterday had been fixed by Dist. Atty.
Higgins OF Middhsex county as the
time for arraignment, counsel for the
prisoner went 10 him and requested a
continuance on the grounds that they
were not prepared.
Mr.. Sullivan declines TO make any
statement as to the reasons for re-.
0uesting a postponement. 1t is believ.
cd. however, that the lawyers now in
the ease--Mr. Sullivan, W. +. S. Hart
Of New York and Richard s. feeling Of
Boston-are analyzing the indictment
against Jordan in its minutest detail.
Following the trial Of Charles L.
Tucker for the murder of Mabel Page
at Weston, il was claimed by some
that had the counsel in the case in.
spected the indictment against the
Young man more thoroughly they
would have found grounds TO ask that
the indictment be quashed.
The counsel in the Jordan case arc
determined not to have anything said
along this line when they have finished
with their inspection of the indictment.
u is limited that if investigations Of
counsel prove as fruitful as they hope,
they will, it would not surprise the gov
eminent officers if special pleadings
we're made by counsel to have the in
dictment quashed This might result
in postponement Of the trial until
1909.
II Is stated that Jesse Livermore, the
millionaire brother-in law of the pris-
oner, has urged carefulness and the
counsel are acting upon his orders.

Marcus Hunter was left an orphan
when he was seven years old He had
no brothers or sisters. no home. no
money, no anything. An uncle who
was well TO do took him to his house
against his wife's wishes, and the
boys life there was one OF misery.
When he was seventeen the uncle died,
and the aunt turned the boy out of the
house. He found position as clerk
IN business house. In ten years he
set up for himself
His relatives who during this period
had ignored him now began TO nod
pleasantly to him when they met him
and invited him TO their houses. The
aunt, who had made life burden to
him. reminded him of the pleasant
days that be had spent under her roof
and how happy It had made her to be
mother to him.
Just as Mark was getting on his
feet in business way a commercial
panic came on. He needed little as
\ sIstarce to tide him over the crisis
and applied to those Of his relatives
1 whQ were able to help him. He began
j Tyelling them that he would like TO

j great fancy to his clerk and pro-
! noted him rapidly. finally making him

D lloyer died chIldless and left about all
there was of the business to his pro
