Amazing Story by Sugar Trust Man
COMES BACK TO NEW YORK AS
 FROM THE GRAVE.
WITH PARDON IN HIS POCKET a
Oliver Spitzer Appears from the Att
 ernment-His Conscience Hurt Him.

New York, May 23.-O1iver Spitzer, a man whose conscience hurt him, came back to New York today like a spectre from the grave, and, with a pardon from the president in his pock- ct, testified at the triad of Charles E.. Heike, secretary-treasurer of the American Sugar. Refining company, who. with five subordinates, is charg- ed with conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment in underweights of sugar inn ports.
 Quietly Pardoned by the President.
 Spitzer, as superintendent of the company's Williamsburg (Brooklyn) docks. was sentenced to two years inn patton in the frauds, but he was quiet ly pardoned by the president last Thursday, after serving only three months and having made a full con- fession- He will from now on aid the government in it's attempt to convict his former associates
 One New Arrest Follows.
 Spftzer's testimony on the stand to- day did not directly connect Heike with the frauds, but his confession re- suited in one new arrest tonight
 James o. Brezezinski, formerly an eFploye of the treasury department, and now a private detective, was lock- ed in the To7rlbs. charged with perjury. Spitzer confessed that he attempted to brfbe Brezezinsh to conceal the
 
 have denied this before a federal grand jury. This apparent conflict brought about BreZezinskfs arrest
 Conscience Smitten, Spitzer Confessed.
 Spitzer told an amazing story on the stand today under direct examination, and hurried from the court to the fed eral grand jury room. This led to the runTor that his full confession would result in another batch of indictments. He was not cross examined by the de- fense because of the peculiar situation created by his sudden appearance as a government witness. Two of the de- fense's lawyers had previously appear ed for Spitzer when he was defendant, and for ethical reasons could not ex- anime him The court ruled that they must agree on some one to examine him on Wednesday.
 No promise of pardon brought about Spitzer's confession, say the federal authorities. His conscience merely hurt him, it was explained, but realiz- ing the importance of his testimony and the legal obstacles likely to bar it were he a convict action was taken to restore him to citizenship.
 When convicted in February last Spitzer declared the sugar trust had made him a scapegoat. Tt pounded and ruined me after I had served faith fully for 29 years,'' he said then. To- day he described how for years he as- sisted in the alleged frauds.

 Taking issue with the Idaho senator, MT. Depew said that popular demand forced the war with Spain on the country and that President Mckinley was opposed to it. He said also that as favorable terms could have been ob- tained from Spain without war as were obtained with war.
 Does not the senator believe that but for the pressure of that time the president would have negotiated Spain off the American continent? ?" asked MT. Hale.
 T do,'' responded the New York sen- ator. T know of my own knowledge that Spain was prepared to abandon Cuba and Porto Rico to prevent humil- iation if she could be assured in ad- vance of &he acceptance of the p:,opo- sition."
 He said President Mckinley was not strong enough personally to resist the popular will
 MT. Depew also related some history concerning the Venezuelan episode of the first Cleveland administration. Lord Salisbury Wanted to Fight United
 States.
 'An intimate friend of mine who also was an intimate friend of Lord Salisb ury, then the British prime min ister," he said, told me that when the presidents message was promulgated Lord Salisbury said to him, I believe that on account of the rancor coming down from the Revolutionary war and accentuated by certain occurrences in the Civil war. America means to have a war with Great Britain at some time, and I believe now is the best time, when America has no navy The views of the prime minister were overruled by Queen Victoria, but if Lord Sails bury had had the powers possessed by some of the English prime ministers the issue certainly would have been tried out"
