ing time to investigate it before re.
porting to the council. As a mare
stockholder of the mills, there seems
not the slightest doubt that the pro
vision Of the charter would distinctly
not apply to Mr.. Prael, even il sales
were made directly to the city; as re-
CARDS sales made to contractors who
are working for the city the matter
seems SO remote as to appear almost
ridiculous.
Of course the committee will in
vestigate the rumor and may find out
that il is at least worthy Of investi.
cation, but probably no one believes
TOR a minute that Mr.. Prael has know
ingly entered into any illegal matter.
Then there was another sensation,
Councilman Curtis arose and talkei
OF Police Commissioner Martin Foard
and he held the attention of the coun-
Gil. He called attention to the fast
that Mr., Foard has been out of the
city. and Mr., Curtis stated he beliey-
ed he had lost his residence here. If
he has in reality'lost his residence in
Astoria his Office would necessarily be |
declared vacant, Also the charter
provides that il Mr.. Foard has been |
out of the city 80 days without per-
mission his office thereupon becomes
vacant; It was stated that this per.
mission had not been secured. This
natter was also referred to a com
nittee for investigation. Mr.. Prael, I
IS president Of the Irving Club, said
I was not true Mr. Foard had applied I
or a non-resident's card.

Nephew Accused Of KiIIinu
Her Husband
INTERCHANGE OF SENTIMENT
First Everyone Thought She Was
Guilty But Now Very Few People
Think She Done the Deed-Case
Will be Hard Fought.

| LYONS, N. Y, April s,-This com.
munity is in a perfect fever Of excite
ment over the trial of Mrs, Georgia
Allyn Sampson which will begin this
week. Mrs. Sampson, the daughter
Of a wealthy and respected Wayne
county farmer is accused of the muir
der of her husband, Harry Sampson,
who was a nephew Of the late Ad-
miral Sampson.
The trial promises to be one that
will pack the court house to its ut
most capacity. Public sentiment in
regard to the case seems to have un.
dergone great change during the
past few weeks. AT first there were
few persons hereabouts but thought
Mrs. Sampson was guilty of the crime
as charged, but at present there seems
to be few in Wayne county who think
she had anything to do with the
death Of her husband.
Harry Sampson was shot on No
vember last at the farm of his wife's
parents, three miles from the town Of
Macedon. The house was arranged
Tor two families, and he and his wife
occupied the west wing, The apart
nents Of his father-in-law were on
he opposite side Of the house. AT
$50 o'clock on the morning Of the
ragedy there was a quarrel between
Harry Sampson and his wife over a
