Mr. Littleton claimed that the trial

Jeanette Stewart, also known as Mrs.
Ford. one OF the women accused by
Charles l., Warmer. the defaultinG
! local treasurer of the Big Four rail-
road. of having shared in his pecula-
! tons by blackmailing him, declared
tonight that she would tell the whole
/ story of the s643. 900 theft when the
case came to court. AT the same time
I Mrs. Stewart denied she had evor re.
| ccived money from Warmer.
The sudden breaking OF the silence
she has perslstenlly maintained was
caused according to her own state
ment, by quarrel which she had with
another woman. who had also been
mentioned by Warmer. The officers
who made the attachment were quick
ly followed by reporters and in the
stress Of excitement Mrs. Stewards re.
serve broke down.
