investigations show very clearly the
injustice of the charge, and prove be-
yond shadow of doubt that neitn-

The facts, he says, are as follows:
Mr.. Morley, from time to time in
the past, before his death suffered
from cramp collie and for this reason
he always had bottle of collie medi-
cine near by for use when needed. On
the night that Mr.. Morley died he
walked Mrs. Morley at midnight and
told her that he was suffering intense
ly, and asked for dose of the collie
medicine. Mrs. Morley gave him the
medicine and went back to bed. Mr..
Morley did not obtain the desired re-
lief, and little later again called
his wife and asked her to do some
thing else to help flm. Mrs. Morley

ley If he did not think she had better
call physician, but Mr.. Morley said
no. About ~: 80 (she became alarmed
by the sudden change for the worse
in Mr.. Morley's condition and called
for help. Her, neighbors, Mr.. ant
Mrs. Windham and Mrs. McInnis
heard the criesS and went at once tt
her assistance This was between
1890 and 12:4q and Mr.. Morley was
practically a dead man when the
neighbors entered the house. Mrs
Morley was asked II she had telephon
ed for doctor, and she replied no
but at the time the neighbors enter
ed the house, Miss Lila Morley wa'
at the telephone screaming and cry
ing. Mrs. Morley and her son wert
also screaming and crying at the toI
of their voices and this must have
been the time the telephone operator
was trying to answer the call.

dence, stated tq me that he received
call at ten minutes to one o'clock

that Mr.. Morley was actually deaf

"Mr. E. L. Powell, Superintendent

were guilty of neglect Of duty, and

young lady to try. The young lady
was so excited that DIR. Flake could
not understand her, and then Eliza
beth told DR.. Flake that he was want

beth answered the call almost
instantly, and the delay in getting DR..

the young lady's excited condition
that made it impossible for her to tell
Elizabeth what she wanted"

COTTON KING FOR DAY
RETIRES WITH FORTUNE
j. L. Liyermore Ends Corner in
July Delivery 100000 Ahead
on the Deal
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK, May fl L.: Liver
more, the young and daring cotton
operator, whose accumulations of Julv
cotton options had brought abos,t q
corner in that market. remained king
of the cotton pit for only day. He
retired today from his position as die
tator of the right end shorts and de-
clined to continue as master of the
situation in July and October deliv-
cries.
His cunning tactics threw the cot
ton market in this city and New Or
leans into complete decentralization hut
he wound up one Of the most success
full coups ever attempted before tbe
veterans of the exchange were aware
that his July deal was ended. Liver
more is said to have made $500. 600 in
the squeeze.
If Livermore had attempted To. "a rrv
out his corner In July" said one i'm.
portant dealer. "he would have haen
swamped with cotton. The dealers
would have brought 1t up from the
south and rendered the actual stuff 70
him. He never could have carried tbe
deal through AS it is we must tsta
off our hats to him. He is the first wall
street trader who ever tackled the cot
ton exchange at its own game ana
worsted it."
