FOR VICTIM OF
CONFIDENCE GAME
Prisoner Offers Fortune for AS
sisting Daughter to Flee
from Spain.

That ~antiquated confidence game,
the offer OF the prisoner in a Spanish
dungeon. who seeks to buried
treasure with the aid Of the dollars of
some specially selected American, has
taken a new turn, as shown by a let
ter received today by a prominent
Newark man.
Claiming relationship. the writer of
the letter tells of his incarceration in
q Spanish prison, and how, through
the Offices of the chaplain, he is en-
abled to send the missive. Then he
tells of seeking a protector for his a.
year-old daughter, and promises a
fourth of a hidden fortune and interest
on the remainder until the girl reaches
her majority. or until she weds. to the
one who will agree TO protect her.
AS a guarantee of good faith, the
money for the girls trip here is to be
sent, also sufficient to redeem luggage
left behind In Paris. The mythical for
tune is supposed to have been secured
through De Lesseps and the Frencl
boards handling of the Panama Canal

An unusually pathetic scene was pre-
scented in front of 1S1 Prince street to-
day, when the poor and needy were
given free bread through the charity
of several flour dealers and the mem

The bread was baked prior to IL

ton, which began at 1880.
In all 464 loaves were baked. At 10
o'clock but s~eventy-fve remained and
at noon the supply was exhausted.
Women thinly clad, children with
heads uncovered and men weak under
the strain of want braved the storm
and filed into the room. where the
bread was wrapped UP for them and
no questions asked.
Many Show Union Cards.
A number, however, presented union
cards, which showed that the head of
the family had not worked in many
cases for several months.
"Come again Friday, my good
people, was the remark of Mr.. Rat
ner as he sen the applicants away
with the bread under their arms. w
will give you each a rye n a wheat
loaf by that time, and perhaps be able
to give som meat, besides"
The second batch of bread will be
placed in the oven tomorrow night and
given to the people Friday morning be-
tween 8 and IL o'clock.

Mr.. Rather is opposed to having a
long line of the needy Ones, and has
arranged with members of the commit
tee to visit a number of the homes
OF the poor and leave the bread In or

public.

of the explosion is hat the ~storehouse,

Investigation into the causesSof the

tertained by Arthur Hough, manager
of the explosive company. Anothet

Supplemental Report.

To Hon. Sydney Smith, Judge of the 4th
Judicial District of Mississippi
The Grand Jury Of the Circuit Court
of Leflore County at the January term
1908, respectfully call your Honor's at
tention to what they conceive to be
very grave error in the law; that Is that
no allowance can be made for analysis
in poisoning cases where death results.
We have had before ourselves at this
term OF Court case where woman,
married. is charged to have poisoned
her husband for the benefit OF his in
snrance; by reason of the poverty Of the
parties interested, and Of the extreme
niggardliness OF the law no funds were
available to have postmoi tenn exami-
nation or chemical analysis Of the
stomach of the deceased; We submit
that we were, because we were unable
to secure the expenditure Of small
sum of money, utterly unable to deter
mine whether or not the deceased was
poisoned.
We submit that no better expendi-
ture of the moneys OF the state and
county can be made than for the pro-
lection Of the lives Of its citizens; and
that proper enforcement Of the crimi-
nal law can not be effected, where the
officers are so tied because no funds are
at hand, in cases where skill and
shrewdness on the part of criminals
make expenditures necessary.
In the case before us we are unable
to proceed and 1t may be that murder
ess is at large in our county for no
other reason than that small sum Of
money could not be expended under the
law, for her apprehension and just
punishment.
Respectfully submitted,
