Han Consulted No One

counsel for defense Troy stated that
he had not consulted Crothers, Older
or any of his attorneys before swear
ing to the complaint; that there was
no collusion with the defense, but that
he did casually refer to the case in a
conversation with Hiram Johnson, one
of the attorneys for the defense, some
weeks after the complaint had been
filed. and in this conversation had told
johnson what his purpose was in filing
the complaint.
Assistant District Attorney Cook
then arose and said: This case was
not submitted to the district attorney $
office, nor was there any collusion
with the defense, but whether Mr..
Tevis was libeled or not, / do not
know, nor am in position to know.
This case was instigated by Troy for
the purpose of exploiting the relative
merits of two water companies. We
are not Investigating the water ques-
tion here. / don't feel as an official
that 1 can present this case as I
should present it. therefore L move that
the case be dismissed. / make this
motion at the request of Mr.. Langdon
and l don't want to be understood that
l impute any improper motives to the
defense"
Sullivan Opposes 1t
Mathew Sullivan of counsel for de-
fense then arose, strongly opposing the
motion to dismiss and demanded that
the defendants be given a full hearing.
| He stated that every effort had been
made to locate Tevis and to serve
subpoenas upon him as well as upon
Secretary Wheeler of the Bay Cities
| Water company; that William j.
Burns, the special agent for the prose-
! clltion in the bribery-graft cases, had
been employed by the defense in as
and Wheeler, but had failed to find
| them.
Sullivan maintained that the Bulle-
article in good faith and the defendants
were prepared to prove their charges
against Tevis; that Ruef had confessed
| to Burns that he was to have received
| 81, 100000 for putting the deal through
| by which the Bay Cities Water COM
pany was to be "foisted" upon this
| city for $10.000,000 that the defense had
| evidence showing that Ruef with his
| own hand wrote or else dictated all
| the reports of the water committee OF
| the board of supervisors condemnine
| the Hetch- -Hetchy scheme and prepar-
ing for the acquisition of the Bay
Cities property, and that Ruef had the
| supervisors programmed.
| Sullivan was followed by his as
sistant, Thomas Hickey, who declared
that the defense would endeavor to
prove that Tevis sent for Ruef, told
| him he never would have to work
again if the deal went through; that
| Ruef told Schmitz that Tevis would
be very liberal and told the supervis-
ors there would be more money in the

THINK BABE MURDERED
Mother of Child Which Was Found Dead
in Room Is Sought by Police
Left Home on Sunday.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 10, 1908
It's tiny head hammered into shape
less mass, the body of a newly born male
child was found by the parents of Miss
Meta Bansamer at her home, 467 Th;r-
teenth avenue, Sunday afternoon. The
young woman has disappeared and is be-
ing sought by the police. If captured, a
charge of murder may be brought
against her unless she can explain the
death of the infant, which the polica
allege, was born sometime Sunday.
Indications were found that the child
lived for a time after birth. The marks
upon the body are said by Deputy Cor
oner Frank Luehring who made cur
sorry examination after the case was re-
ported to him by the police, that the
child met sudden and violent death,
presumably at the hands of it's mother.
No trace of the young woman has been
found by the authorities and she left no
word at her home. Her disappearance
was noted shortly after dinner time Sun
day and the body of the child was found
in the room not long afterward.
