PRACTICALLY ANNULS
FRAUD Law
RULING OF COURT STRIKES Sc
WE'RE BLOW AT IMPORTANT
FEDERAL STATUTE.

Denver, March 5.-Judge Robert f..
Lewis in the United States court to-
day made a ruling which accorded to
United States District Attorney
Thomas Ward, practically nullifies the
federal statute under which all cases
Of using the mails to defraud are
prosecuted, so far as the jurisdiction
of Judge Lewis extends. The ruling
was made in the case of j. r. Man
ming, mining man of Denver who
was being tried on the charge of US
ing the mails to promote a fraudulent
mining scheme. The case was thrown
out of court.
Judge Lewis in freeing Manning,
said: 1T is impossible for the gov
ernment to prosecute all cases where
man is exploiting mining property
of a questionable character. In this
case the stock was being sold at 2
cents share. The men who bought
1t must have known they were not
buying stock in producing mine"
Earlier in the case Judge Lewis
said:
This court is not sitting on the
bench to keep all fools being parted
with their money"

DEAD AT HIS DESK BY A
VENGEFUL SUBORDINATE.

Washington, March 5.--Captain w
p. Matthews of the Fifth police pre-
cinct in this city, was shot and killed
while sitting at his desk in the station
house tonight by Policeman Collier
Without the slightest warning, Collier
entered the station and went immedi-
ately into the captains office, where he
jerked from his pocket a revolver and
fired five bullets into Matthews body.
Collier, it is said, had been repri-
manded by Captain Matthews for a
breach of the rules and this at the
time angered him.
The police say they know of no 9TH
er reason for Golfers action. Lieuten-
ant Sprinkle arrested Collier.

INAUGURATION CROWDS
MAKE DEMONSTRATION

Washington, March 5-Creeping
along at a snail's pace, heavily laden
trains today slowly bore the inaugural
crowds away from the capitol. The
crippled telegraph and telephone ia
cilities which made it impossible to
operate trains last night within from
six to twelve hours of schedule time
were somewhat improved, but were
still far from normal. The thousands
who flocked to the ceremonies SEEM
ingly attempted to leave the city at
one time. Immense crowds flocked to
the Union station and military and
civic organizations Wed with one an
other in their display as they de-
parted or waited to depart.
All through the day the crowd at the
station was aroused now and then by
some enthusiastic organization march
ing around and around through the
vast concourse in the station, with a
band in the lead.
One organization had three bands
leading it.

got away with at least $4,000 worth
of amalgam Much of this was
taken to Butte, recorded by local as
sayers in the belief that it came from
mill in Madison county, and then
sent to Helena for sale in the assay
office. Lagrice's sister, arrested in
Butte last week for her share in the
work, was the medium through which
about $4,000 of the stolen goods was
disposed of, she selling it to local as

IRISH POLITICIANS
FACE ASSAULT
CHARGES
FREE-FOR-AlL FIGHT AT DUBLIN
CONVENTION RESULTS IN
COURT PROCEEDINGS.

Dublin, March 5.-AS a result of the
free fight at the nationalist conven-
ton held in Dublin last month, when
ing, charges Of assault and attempt
ing to break up public meeting have
been brought by Eugene Cream, MEM
ber of parliament for the southeast
division of Cork, against Joseph Dew
lin, member of the house for West
Belfast, and against Dennis Johnston
secretary of the United Irish league.
The courtroom today was crowded
and Timothy Healy counsel for Mr..
Cream kept the audience in roars of
laughter with his witty presentation
Of the plaintiffs case. Mr.. Healy abb
solved John e. Redmond from all re-
sponsibility for the ruffianism, but he
declared that Mr.. Devlin had staged
and managed the whole affair, bring
ing in paid bludgeon men" from
Belfast to shout down the O'Brien-
ties.
Mr.. Healy characterized Mr.. Devin
as the postmaster of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians in America. He
said this society had no connection
with Ireland, but there were men here
who pretended to have it's sanction.
Mr.. Devlin, the speaker continued,
for some purpose of his own, had gal
vanized into life a remnant of the an
cent molly Mcguire" faction and
dubbed them the Ancient Order of
Hibernians. A confidential circular
had brought down 223 men from Bel
fast, who marched into the conven-
tion. At this juncture Mr.. Healy
held aloft a formidable lockwood stick,
saying that each Belfast man had
been given such a baton and at the
close of the day each worker in the
vineyard received half a sovereign
from Mr.. Johnston on returning the
weapon.
Instructions had been given the
"bludgeon men" not to allow any man
with Cork accent" near the plat
form, and Mr.. Cream, who came from
Cork, was their first victim.

The Resignation.


Indianapolis, Ind. March 5-United
states Attorney Joseph B. Healing,
who has resigned his office rather
than participate in the prosecution
against Delavan Smith and Charles
r. Williams of the Indianapolis News
would make no statement today re-
garding the matter, other than that
contained in his letter of resignation
to the attorney general, dated March
2. In that he says:
"Sir-I beg to inform you, that /
have today sent my formal resigna-
tion as United States attorney for
the district of Indiana to the presi-
dent of the United States.
Il am informed that indictments
have been returned by the grand jury
of the District of Columbia against
Delavan Smith and Charles r. Will
liams, proprietors of the Indianapolis
News, for criminal libel, and that
steps will be taken to remove them
to that district for trial. AS both are
in this district, under the law it will
become my official duty to assist in
such removal proceedings
For almost eight years / have had
ment as United States attorney Dur
ing that time I have prosecuted all
alike. without fear or favor, where
had an honest belief in their guilt.
II have been compelled on several
occasions to prosecute personal
friends, but in each case l only did
so after a thorough investigation had
convinced me Of their guilt.
I'm this case I have made a careful
investigation of the law applicable
thereto. AS to the guilt or innocence
of the defendants on the question of
libel I do not attempt to say II
guilty they should be prosecuted, but
properly indicted and prosecuted in
the right place. viz: at their home. 1t
Is only the question of removal that
I have to do.
Il am not in accord with the gov
ernment in it's efforts to put in force
strained construction of the law to
drag the defendants from their homes
to the seat of government to be tried
and punished. while there is a good
and sufficient law in this Jurisdiction.
in the state court. l believe the prin-
cipal involved is dangerous, in strik-
ing at the very foundation of our
form of government. I cannot, there
fore, honestly and conscientiously in
sist to the court that such is the law,
or that such construction should be
put on it. Not being able to do this
do not feel that 1 can, in justice Il
my office, continue to hold 1t and de-
cline to assist.
I'm order. therefore, to relieve us
both by any embarrassment, I have
rendered my resignation, and have
asked that it be accepted not later
than March Is, 1909. I have made it
of this date in order that President
Taft-for whom I have the highest re-
spect and admiration-may have time
to name my successor. Respectfully.
(Signed)
