cording TO Jesse B. Root. formerly prf-
vate counsel to Senator Clark, who
has just returned from Washington
after a Ruthless appeal to the presi-
dent to pardon Richard B. Shepherd.
e. prominent Salt Lake attorney, VINO
was convicted on a technical charge
OF disseminating obscene literature.
Shepherd addressed an inquirer by
letter where a certain book could be
obtained. He was sentenced TO two
years in the penitentiaIy. The petit
ton for pardon had been signed by
congressman, judges and senators.
Accompanied by Senators Suther-
land and Smoot, OF Utah. and Senator
Long, OF Kansas, Mr.. Root appeared
before the president. The party was
ushered into the private office.
THE president scarcely waited for
an introduction Mr.. Root says, "be-
fore he commenced a trade such as I
never heard from the mouth OF man
presumed to hold high position.
Here's the Choice "con."
81 am aginst you. am against
you said President Roosevelt. L an
surprised that any nan should come
tc me for a pardon for man who
would dare to keep such book in his
library. You all ought to be In prison
for life for even asking such a thing,
and Shepherd should lie there for the
rest OF his life
For nearly an hour the president
kept up his TRADE" said Root. He
attacked the heads OF trusts and said
that all such malefactors should be in
prison. He went on In this strain,
abusing all persons and men that diff
fered with him in opinion"
FINAL, according 10 Root, he reach
ed Harry x. Thaw, with the statement
as given above.
THE president" Root added, was
not at all familiar with the facts In
Shepherds case, although he pretend
ed TO be. The mere fact that he had
been accused by grand jury and con-
victed by federal jury appeared to
be sufficient TO convict Shepherd to
penal servitude for life. He grew wild
with rage and would listen to nothing.
Finally / started TO talk, and we both
talked together for is minutes. be-
came disguised, as did my associates.
Mr.. Roosevelt finally folded up the DO
tition and wrote on the back:
"'Denied. This man ought TO be In
prison for theSbalance Of his iIfe.'
Then he handed II 20 his clerk fos
fling"

A "Goodby" and the bang of a re- volver shot coming half a mile over a telephone wire brought the news of a beautiful Brooklyn girls suicide to a farofr acquaintance before persons only ten and fifteen feet away knew what was happening.
 Helen Daenzcr, a popular and pros porous sewing teacher, chose the dra- matlc ending that has often been pie tured in fiction, but seldom in real life.
 Why she killed herself no one knew Especially were her friends puzzled over the sensational manner of her ending. for she had the characteristic German disregard for the spectacular and theatrlc. Yet she not only ar ranged that the fatal shot should be heard, but also arraycd herself entire ly in black. with q mourning band on her hat and then left behind her two notes making clear her purpose.
 Miss Daenzer lived at 5l5 Halsey street with her mother and brother Gustave. Their apartments are over the drug store of Sidney Smith, who is the owner of the house. Through liv- ing there and patronizing the phar- macy the girl knew Smith and his clerk, John Burbridgc, very well.
 She had assisted her mother in

to New York for the day." Burbrldgo replied. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
 "This is Miss Daenzer." came the an- swer slowly and clearly. ''Yes-there Is somethlng-I-I wish you might do me fayor"-
 Surely" said the clerk. "WhOt"-
 "I wish"-the voice was wavering, but the speaker was trying hard to control it-'T wish you would come here to Woelle's store and"-
 "Yes, Miss Daenzer."
 And identify me- Goodby."
 Then a roar assalled Burbrldge's ear. He dropped the receiver and stared at his own instrument He picked 1t up and listened again. He could hear nothing. He rattled the hook for cen- tral. but there came no answer. Then he realized what that sound must have been. He grabbed his hat and sprinted out of the front door.
 Meanwhile back in the WoelfIe phar- macy Johnson had heard a noise that sounded as though something had fall en from a showcase. He snunterad out leisurely to see the telephone booth door swinging open and his pretty cus- toner's body lying half in and half out of the little compartment.

teaching little girls to sew in a school that Mrs. Daenzer runs for the chil- dren of the section.
 About 4 o'clock in the afternoon she entered E. J. Woelae's pharmacy at 9lJ Reid avenue, which Is about ten min utes' walk from her home, and asked Harry Johnson. the clerk, who was alone there. if she might use the phone. He pointed out two booths to her and gave her two nickels for q dime, since 1t was a slot machine instrument
 "Now, if you'll oblige me with q small bit of paper l won't bother you any more" she said smlllngly. q want to write a note"
 Johnson gave her the paper, and she thanked him gracefully and entered the booth. He heard her say, "One- one-seven-eight, Bushwick please" Then he returned to the prescription that was engaging him behind the screen.
 A moment later the phone bell in Smiths pharmacy, beneath the girls home, brought the clerk Burbridge from behind his screen.
 'Is Mir. Smith therep a wOmans voice inquired.
 ''No, he and Mrs. Smith have gone

THEN SHE PULLED THE TRIGGER.

There was a hole in her right temple, and a big revolver lay beside her. Johnson tried to do what he could to stanch the wound, but the girl was dead.
 In a moment Burbrldge. the other clerk, came racing in breathless and identified her. Then the two men found a couple of notes on the shelf with the telephone. One, written in lead pencil on the slip of paper John. son had provided, read:
 Somebody will come to identify mo Please excuse me for making all this trouble
 The other note was written in ink in German and was addressed to her mother It ran thus:
 Dear Mother-ForgIvo me for causing this trouble. l cannot stand tho strain any longer have been sick long time. and now I am going to rest. This Is very little thanks for all the trouble you have taken with me, know, but I cannot help. l cannot stand tho strain and can not stand a second disappointment With love, HELEN.
 The mother and brother of the Girl came to the Flfty-fourth precinct q. tion house and claimed the body. They had no idea what "the strain and the second disappointment" meant.

OTHERS SHARED IN CRAFT
WHY CONTRACTOR DIDN'T WANT
TO CUT DOWN BILLS.
Sensational Statement of Sanderson
Quoted by Witness In Pennsyl.
vanla Capitol Trial.

Harrisburg, Pa, rob. 12s--The eli.
max in the state capitol conspiracy
trial was reached Tuesday afternoon,
just before the commonwealth closed,
when Stanford B. Lewis, assistant to
Architect Joseph NJ Huston, declared
on the witness stand that Contractor
John H. Sanderson, one of the de-
PENDANTS, complained that he did not
want to cut down his bills because he
had to put up big wad for other
people,"
Lewis also testified that the letter,
which he produced Monday with the
explanation that it was responsible
for his being indicted for conspiracy,
had been written and brought to him
by former Auditor General Snyder, a
defendant in the present case, for his
signature. In it Lewis was made to
say he had certified to a bill for $751;
1880 paid to the Pennsylvania Con-
struction company for metallic filing
cases which he had found correct.
Lewis testimony followed the intro
duction of documentary evidence to
show that thousands of dollars were
paid to Sanderson for capitol furnish
ings month before their delivery, in
spite of the fact that certificates of re-
ceipt in good condition were required
by law before bills could be approved.
The testimony of Lewis was direct
and unqualified and was not attacked
by the defense. ,. IF

ANTITRUST BILLS ARE HIT
OHIO SUPREME COURT KNOCKS
OUT MANY INDICTMENTS.
Charges Embody Violation Of Laws
Documents Are Held to Be
Defective.

Columbus, O., Feb. 12-The su-
preme court Tuesday caused sensa.
ton by knocking out all the indict-
ments against the bridge trust in
Ohio. The indictments which were
brought in Erie county and charged
violation of the antitrust laws, were
held to be defective by the supren
court Tuesday in affirming the decis.
ion of the Erie county circuit court IL
the Hughes and Webster cases. The
indictments are held to be Illegal on
the grounds of duplicity and indefinite
ness in that they simply charge that
the parties were engaged In con-
spiracy in restraint of trade in March,
1903 to March. 1906, without stating
definite times of violation of the anti
trust laws and because the laws
makes each days violation a separate
offense and hence the basis Of a
separate Indictment. The King
Bridge Company, the Massillon
Bridge Company, Bellefontaine Bridge
and Iron Company, Variety Iron
Works Company, Mt. Vernon Bridge
Company, Bracket Bridge Company
and the Canton Bridge Company were
indicted in March, 1906, in Erie coun.
ty, on charge of engaging in trust
conspiracy from March 10, 1903 to
1906. The common pleas court over
ruled all motions to quash and de-
murrers, based on duplicity and in
definiteness of the indictments, and
all the defendants were convicted.
Their cases were carried to the cir
cult court and later Hammond, the
Canton Bridge Company and the Mas
sillon Bridge Company withdrew their
petitions in error and paid the fines
imposed. The case was then taken
to the circuit court which reversed
the convictions in the common pleas
court and then the case was taken
to the supreme court with the final
decision Tuesday as above.
