ing off in their automobile and after
shouting an alarm he fired several shots
at the fleeing party The shots were fired
at distance of some 20 feet, but whether
any of them took effect in the persons
of the robbers is unknown, as no traces
of blood We're found in the vicinity. Tar
bell followed the automobile for some
distance along the main street but was
soon distanced. although he went far
enough to be reasonably certain that the
machine took the road to Groton.
The return Of Tarbell to the scene found
a large crowd gathered about the bank,
including a few police of the town. None
of these are on duty at night and at ,
o'clock in the morning, the time of the
break. the streets are entirely deserted
The cashier, Henry r. Tarbell, who was
Immediately notified of the break came
to the hank to ascertain the amount
taken. He found a considerable quantity
of bills and silver scattered about the
vault evidences of the hurry with which
the burglars secured their booty. The
large quantity of gold stored in one of
the inner recesses of the safe was I'M
touched save for a single SIG piece, which
was missing.
That the robbers had considerable time
in which to work, and that they under
stood well the manner of safeguarding
against interruption, ives shown by an
examination after the burglary. They
We're practically immune from interrer-
ence by any possible discoverers in the
immediate neighhorhood of the bank, as
they took the precaution of barring cv-
cry door leading to the street in the vi
cinity of the bank. Among those doors
was that of Mr.. Tarbell, who was the
first aroused by the explosions. That the
first two explosions were made under
mutfled conditions which eftcctually
drowned the noise was evident to Mr..
Tarbell when he heard the third loudly
and distinctly. Apparently the burglars
became excited at not being able to break
open the vault door with the first two ex-
blossoms and inpreparing for the third for
got II take tho usual precautions. Their

Oil Trust Tried to LiQui-
date As Ordered.
Small Stockholders Wouldn't
Part With Holdings.
ArchboId Explains s7,500,000
Loan to Plttsburg Producer.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE processes by
which the Standard Oil Trust was
liquidated and it's 80 subsidiary COM
panies were brought under control of
the present Standard Oil Co., of New
Jersey We're described interestingly 20
day by John d. Archbold, under cross
examination in the federal suit to dis
solve the Standard Oil Co. Mr.. Arch
bold declared that the trust was liquir
dated in the years from 1892 to 1899 III
all good faith to obey the mandates Uf
the Ohio supreme court ordering thar
the trust be dissolved. There was no
Interior motive in the fact that only
about 81 per cent. of the trust certifi-
Gates were liquidated into the stocks
OF the subsidiary companies, he said.
Small holders declined to liquidate,
preferring to retain their certificates.
which had a market value, rather than
to obtain enthusiastically small parts
in the several minor companies.
Mr. Archbold made it plain in a
series of questions from government
counsel that the Standard Oil Co. of
New Jersey was selected as the hold
ing company because the laws Of New
Jersey were reasonable in their treat
of trust certificates, after obtaining
their shares in the subsidiary COM
panies, turned them into the New Jer-
sey Co, and received their proportion
ate amount Of stock. The Standard on
Co of New Jersey. the present holding
company, is the combination which
the government is seeking to dissolve.
During the day Mr.. Kellogg, for the
government, succeeded in throwing
light on the loans made to T. \. Barns
dan of Pittsburg, an Independent Oil
producer
Mr.. Archbold testified that loans ag-
gregating $7,500,000 were made to Mr..
Rarnsdall to enable him to continue
his oil operations in various parts OF
the country. A part of the contract
for the loan was that all the crude oil
produced by Mr.. Barnsdall should be
carried in the Standards pipe lines.
During the day Mr. Archbold testi-
fed that Former Congressman Joseph
c. Sibley of Pennsylvania was identl-
fed with the Galena Signal Oil Co,
subsidiary of the Standard. 1t was to
Mr.. Sibley that Mr.. Archbold addressed
many OF the letters which were made
public during the recent Presidential
campaign.

As Man Unfit to Have
Charge Of Children.
Former Wite's Counsel Gives
Him a Terrific Scoring.
Real Purpose Money and Revenge,
Not Good Of Children.

Paris, Dec 2.-The Princess De Sa-
gan, who was Miss Anna Gould of New
York had her innings in court today
in the hearing of the case brought by
her former husband, Count Bonl De
Castellane, to have the three children
of the union placed in the custody of
his mother, the Marquise De Castel-
lane. The first hearing took place last
week, and M. Bonnet counsel for the
count, set forth by statement, allega-
ton and insinuation that the atmo-
sphere of the De Sagan household was
detrimental to the proper bringing up
of the three Castellane boys. After
she secured her divorce from the count,
Madame Gould was married in London
to Prince Helie De Sagan.
During the afternoon hundreds of
women, including some of the most
prominent members of French society
an! the American and English colonies
in Paris, literally fought in the corri-
doris in the palace Of justice to gain
admission to the crowded court room.
where the side of the princess was
presented by M Clemenceau. Without
essaying the imprisoned oratorical
role played by NJ. Bonnet last week, NJ.
Clemenceau today, coolly and calmly,
but with cutting irony and keen ridi-
Guile, met the accusations brought
against the Princess De Sagan, whose
character, he insisted, was blameless.
He mercilessly barred the record and
character of the Count De Castellane
and said he was wholly unfit to have
the custody of his children. He cnarg-
ed that the real purpose of the count
was to raise money and satisfy his
vengeance on the Prince and Princess
De Sagan, even at the expense OF the
interests of his children, whose minds
he had continually tried to poison.
Neither the Prince De Sagan nor the
count was i'm court

Pepperell Mass, Dec. 2.-Fourteen
Thousand dollars in cash was secured by
burglars. who early today blew open the
vault of the First National Bank here.
The thoroughness and Skill with which
the work was performed leads to the
belief on the part of the police that the
burglars were professionals Three men
were in the party and although they were
seen escaping in an automobile all trace
of them was soon lost and the author-
ties were unable to ascertain in which
direction they departed 1t is believed.
however, that the burglars went from
here to Groton.
The break was effected about o'clock,
at which time the last of three explo-
sions was heard by Ernest -Tarbell, who
was sleeping next door. The two earlier
detonations had been heard by him and
reused him from his bed, but being muf-
fed he was uncertain as to their origin.
The third however, was less guarded and
was followed by crash and rattle, as
the vault door fell away and interior
glass fittings were broken Tarbell reach
ed his door, after arming himself with a
revolver, only to find it barred from the
outside He succeeded In breaking it
open after some time and Immediately
went to the door of the bank. He reach
ed there just as the robbers were start
