Exciting Day in the New
York Cotton Market.
Spot Cotton Suffers Even More
Severely Than Futures.
Spot Sales Reach 25,500 Bales.
Delivery Of $500 Bales.

New York. May 31.-There was a
sensational break in the New York
cotton market today with trading more
active and excited than at any time
since the series of drastic declines
which carried prices down about three
cents a pound last January. 1t was the
last day of trading in May contracts,
business in that delivery ending at
midday.
During the morning the bull lead i
erS made some show of supporting the
market by bidding for large blocks Of
May delivery, but as soon as May con-
tracts were out of the way there was a
rush of selling orders from all direc-
tons under which July deliveries melt
ed away to 141S. or "A points under
the closing figures of last week and
161 points under the high level Of the
season which was made last December.
Selling through houses with West
ern connection was particularly heavy
and tho further weakness of grain
naturally gave rise to rumOrs that

dated during the day.
With today ends one of the most
sensational months in the history of
the New York cotton market so far
as deliveries Of actual cotton are con-
cerned July is the next active month
to mature. Not long ago it was esti-
mated that there was even greater
interest in July than in May and it
was predicted that the bull crowd
would extend their operations into that
month. But todays heavy selling and
the rumors regarding Mr.. Patterns ro-
sition have cast q considerable doubt
on such on extension of tile deal. In
any event it is claimed that the bulls
have not been able to market Their
spot holdings as rapidly as expected
and that the amount of cotton brought
here for delivery on contracts has .ex-
ceeded their expectations.
Spot sales in the New York market
reported today were $4,000 bales. and
the official report showed $4,000 bales
delivered on the last Of the May con-
tracts.

Denies Previous Testimony That He
Gave KeGher Large Sums mamie
Aightower Denies "P|anting"
Money Taken by Coleman.

Boston, May 31.-The government
seemed satisfied today with it's efforts
to establish relations between George
w. Coleman, the confessed loOter of
the National City Bank and Big Bill
keliher, on trial in the United States
circuit court for aiding Coleman in
lifting more than half the banks de-
posits. Two witnesses said that Keli-
her spoke repeatedly of Coleman and
at one time expressed the hope that
he would not go back on him An
other witness knew that kelher and
Coleman were friendly.
Coleman was forced to admit that an
important part of his testimony before
the Suffolk county grand jury which
also investigated the matter was false
especially his statement that he loaned
or gave keiher $4,000 or 100000,
and that Keliher had urged him to
stop playing faro.
The afternoon proceedings We're
made interesting through the presence
of Coleman's latest sweetheart, Miss
Mamie HightoWer of Kansas City, on
The stand The young woman became
Coleman's companion a couple of
months before the bank failed and was
as the crash came. She denied that
she had planted" any money OF Cole
mans and Coleman denied it also ear
ier in-the day. She did say that she
had some property in Kansas City
which the late r. j. Holmes willed to
her 1t was she. who was asked by
keliher one day in New York after the
bank failed if Coleman was going back
on him. j. II. McGillicuddy, a saloon
keeper in this city, also remembered
Coleman and Keliher together. The
case will continue tomorrow.
Boston. May 31.-The trial Of Will
liam J. (Big Bid keliher. charged with
aiding and abetting George w Cole
man. former bnokkeeper of the Ma
tional City Bank of Cambridge in en-
beZzlement from the closed institution.
was resumed in the United States dis
trict court today. with Coleman, who
is under a 15-year sentence. again on
the witness stand. Daniel G. Coakley,
attorney for keliher continued his
cross examination of the young man.
The courtroom was crowded with per
sons who apparently came with the
hope of hearing Coleman further re-
late how he disposed of the money he
admits having taken from the bank.
Attorney Coakley devoted his efforts
during the forenoon session OF the
trial chiefly to examining Coleman as
to his early stealings from the bank
and his actions just before he went
away and Immediately following his
return when he was arrested.

by Joseph Vending, the parish house
janitor. who, the police believe, as
saulted and murdered the child. and
dragged her body into the basement

The police believe that vending

into an old cistern under one of the
parish houses. There it was accident
