POLICE CONFIDENT
Of STURGIS' GUILT
Alleged Crime Kept Secret
Until Proven, Says the
District Attorney.

Il was learned today that one of the
reasons the police and District Attor-
neys Office have been loath TO make
public the alleged defalcations of John
Ward Stursis, the bank clerk accused
Of setting away with 5000, lay in their
mination TO sift every iota of evil
dence against the man and assure
themselves of his completely in the Of
lenses charged before permitting their
suspicious to become known.
The lesson learned in the case Of
Oden b. Gray has been taken to heart.
say the District Attorneys assistants.
The next time bank clerk is accused
OF wrong-doing they determined they
should be absolutely convinced and have
proofs in their hands before taking the
matter into court. This, District At
torney Baker claims, he has in the
Sturgis case.
Specific Charge.
The specific oferse for which war
rant was issued for Sturgis' arrest was
the forging of a check for $3.50. The
District Attorney has such a check in
his possession.
II transpired today that Sturgis was
one of the principal witnesses IOr the
Government in the Gray case, and was
a.
Grav's trial According 10 the ponce,
there is a great similarity between what
the Government sought TO prove IN that
case. and the offeuses with which Stur-
gis is now charged, the drawing OF
checks against dormant accounts, trust
ing to luck that the deposiJors would
not have their books balanced for some
time.
No Clue Found.
The police have received no informa-
ton as yes that can give the slightest
clue to Sturgis' whereabouts. The pub

USED ARSENIC N BISCUITS
GRANDMA KEPT RAT POISON
NEAR BAKING POWDER.
Got Hold Of the Wrong Can and
Result Is Fatal to Herself
and Husband.

NEW YORK. May 2s.-Mrs. Cynthia
Barry prided herself upon her house
keeping. and although she was eighty
years of age she ran her home at Tot
tenville in accordance with her own ideas.
She kept her baking powder, her mus
tard, her salt, pepper and thyme in nice
little round baking powder cans on a
shelf in her kitchen. On another shelf
she kept a baking powder can full of
arsenic for rat poison.
Her aged husband, Robert David Barry.
and her SON demonstrated against keep
ing the arsenic in the kitchen closet, but
she said she knew just where to place
even in the dark.
Early Sunday morning Mrs. Barry arose
and made some biscuits. as was her Gus
tom. Their son was out of town. The
old people ate the biscuits, and soon after-
ward both were taken sick. The old man
raped with his cane on the wall to sum-
mon the next door neighbors. They tele-
phoned for DR.. Frank H. Ross. son-in-
law OF the old couple. When DR.. Ross
arrived he took measures to rouse his
father-in-law from a stupor.
"Grandma used the wrong powder in
the biscuit" gasped the old man, and
lapsed again into Inconsistencies. Then
Mrs. Barry was brought around for a
pIiSl SpdCc, anu STc WAS asked Wndt
was meant by using the wrong pow
der" She denied that she had used any
wrong powder. and an investigation was
started.
The doctors found the pepper, the salt,
and the baking powder. and then the
arsenic. They administered powerful
doses Of strychnine. the antidote for the
depression induced by arsenic, but Mrs.
Barry died in the evening. Her hus-
band fought off the effects of the poison
until Monday afternoon. when he sue
cumbed. not knowing that his wife died
before him.

Still another humane movement in Syra-

unique originated with the Syracuse fire
department. the chief OF which. John p
Quigley. some months ago sent out an
order by which he abolished the use Of
currycombs in the department. and ex-
pressed himself as thoroughly convinced
that the currycomb in the hands of the

Some curious complexities OF language
occurred during the international wom-

distinction that exists between "af-

or that between 'Wahlrecht'. and "Stim-

Original Gretchen in Grip Van Win

Mrs John Ellington, who IS still living
IN London. and who took the original part
OF Gretchen In Joseph Jefferson's first
production Of Dion Boucicault's rip Van

in those days an American actor was
looked upon in the same light as a Chero-

she was told there were only two women
in the play. and that she was suited to
neither part. she said: Then 1 shall go
through the provinces with Toole." But
wanted her to appear In his productions.
SO she was obliged to play the part OF
Gretchen.
The play was a great success from the
very beginning. There were Ave or six
curtain calls after the first act. and Mrs.
Ellington said to Mr.. Jefferson, 1T will
run a hundred nights Mr.. Jefferson

dress she won in her bet with jefferson.
So sure was Boucicault of the failure
Of the play that he refused to be present
at the first performance. and 1t was sew

be among those present in the audience.

After the performance the author went
around to the actors dressing room and
congratulated him.
But" he said, Joe. think you are
shooting over their heads"
II am not even shooting at their heads"
was the reply. Il am aiming at their
hearts
After the first week In London II was

although the playwright was
at that time so popular that the name OF
Boucicault alone was sufficient to draw
a large house. and the name of Jefferson
did not appear in big letters nor was 1t
even featured"
Upon his return America greeted the
wanderer proud of the victory of an
American actor in an American play in
foreign lands.
