rB~ telegram 90 The Tribune


PouEhkeepsie y. Y. July 2.-The de-
fence of Lewis H Vail. president Of the
Dutchess Fire Insurance Company, TO the
Indictment for forgery in the third degree
handed down against him by the last
grand jury in Dutchess County. was partly
disclosed to-day. when Milton A. Fowler,
vice-president OF the company, was exam
ined before trial. on account Of the pre-
carious condition OF his health. Mr.. Fowler
is more than eighty years old and very
feeble
L was clearly brought out during the
examination that Afr Wallis defence TO the
forgery charge for cutting out the resolu-
ton from the company'g minute book will
be that it was never adopted, and there
fore cutting it cut did ne harm and could
not constitute a crime.
Nj Fowler gave his testimony before
Justice MorschauseT. Of the Supreme Court.
and his statement will become part of the
minutes OF the trial which is 70 be held
on September u, this early date having
been fixed at the request Of Governor

ting out Of the insurance cornpany's minute
book containing the resolution fixing the
reinsurance of the cid Dutchess Insurance
Company by the new DutChess Fire Insur-
ance Company. on basis of 25 per cen-,
was shown Mr.. Fowler, and the witness
declared that ne made the correction on
the page because ne knew the resolution
was wrong in the form in which IT ap-
peared on the page. and told Jesse J. Ora
ham, seCTetary. that the minutes were in
the wrong book and he should copy from
one book into the other. Of the cutting
out Of the page NJ Fowler said that he
knew nothing until Superintendent Hotch-
kiss brought il out last spring.
Mr.. Fisher third deputy Attorney Gen
erai. wanted Mr.. Fowler to acknowledge
that he did not want the resolution to pass
as at first recorded. because It would call
for the payment Of s., 600. which would
impair the credit OF the old company M
Fowler admitted that this was one OF the
reasons, and added that no action Oh re-
insurance was taken up TO February, 1910.

TFrou The Tribune Bureau. J


Washington, July 2s-The Post Office De-
partment has received 9 report from the
Canadian postal authorities regarding the
reported seizure of several hundred thou
sand dollars worth of United States and
Labrador postage stamps.
All the stamps seized were Labrador
stamps, with face value of nearly $1,000
coo. After the seizure it developed that the
dealers bought the stamps at an auction
room. It seems that a few years ago a
contract was made with photographer in
Montreal for a large quantity of special
stamps, which were intended for utilization
on the correspondence of fishermen in Lab
rador. The stamps were not turned out on
contract time and the purchaser refused TO
accept them. They were finally sold with
some old furniture to the proprietor OF the
auction room. The stamps were In three
denominations, scent, 25-cent and 81, each
printed in three colors.

That remark found corroboration at

negotiations for the transfer OF the
syndicate's holdings TO the kuhn-Loeo
interests. had been carried on by cable

few details of the transaction further
than to say that he had received cabled
instructions to turn over the syndicate's 8

The amount involved he declined to
say, nor would he say who, besides DR..

It is understood. however. that they
were foreign capitalists, who have been

Fatal Leap from Williamsburg

BODY FALLS INTO A CROWD
Act Attributed to Dependency
Over Failure to Get Work
After Long Idleness.

Despoqldent over his failure to get
work after six months OF idleness, Karl
Doll. fffty-two years old, a stationary
engineer, who lived at No. 312 South
4th street. Williamsburg, jumped to his
death from the Williamsburg Bridge last
evening, q short time before his wife
and daughter started TO walk across the
structure after an all day search Of
Manhattan hospitals and morgues for
him.
Passengers on cars passing over the
| bridge and a bridge policeman noticed
the man climb over the five-foot fence
guarding the northern footpath, and saw
him step out on treilis work of cables
directly over Wythe avenue. The police
man ran toward the fence and started to
climb over it. but before he could reach
the place Doll let himself drop and
plunged to his death.
The spot from which the engineer fell
/ is directly over a large public play
ground. Doll landed in the field while
hundreds of men, women and children
were using IL as a breathing space. The
sight of the body landing among them
threw the women and children into a
panic. and they rushed about. screaming
with fear. The yells attracted the at
tention of PatTolman RoyIe, of the Bed
ford avenue police station.
Almost Every Bore Broken.
The policeman summoned Dr.. Meal
lister from the Williamsburg Hospital
While the policeman was waiting for the
surgeon the Rev. Father Ffnnerty, of the
Church of SITS. Peter and Paul, xslu
was passing the scene OH his way TO Il
sick call, hurried to Doll and admins
tered the last rites of the church. In a
short time Dr. McAlIister arrived and
pronounced the man dead. Almost every
bone in his body was broken.
On their way home after their search
Mrs Doll and her daughter heard per-
sons on the bridge talking about the
suicide. They talked with several peo-
pie, but could get no definite description
of the bridge Jumper When they
reached the Williamsburg side OF the
bridge they learned that the body had
been taken to the quarters of Bridge
Precinct C Mrs. Doll hurried there and
asked the police to let her look at the
body after they had described it.
She identified il as that Of her hus-
band, and the police showed her let
ter in which her husband said that he
was tired Of life and had decided 70 die.
Mrs Doll and her daughter became
hyEtericai after reading the note. and It
was necessary TO call Dr.. -MeAllister To
attend them. whereupon they left the
place to go home but up TO late hour
last night they had not returned to their
apartment.
