DEMANDS WERE CONSTANT
Convict Warrlner Testified Against
Mrs. Ford on Trial For BlackmalI.

Mrs. Ford on Trial For Blackmall.
Cincinnati, Feb. lat the resump-
ton of the trial of Mrs. Jeanette
Ford, charged with attempting to
blackmail c. T. Warriner, the con-
fessed and convicted embezzler of
$643.000 from the Big Four railroad,
Warriner himself was the star wit
ness.
Attorney Thorndyke, counsel for
Mrs. Ford, made a statement in open
court as follows: I'VE propose to as
sist the prosecution to show that Ed
gar Cook was short; to assist in show
ing that Warriner was short, and that
Comstock was short; We propose to
assist the prosecution to show that the
Big Four Offices were rotten-the Lord
only knows how rotten. We propose
to assist the prosecution to show that
the legal machinery of the great state
Of Ohio is here being invoked to air
a vulgar affair between two women
Cor the love of one man-and a very
poor specimen of a man he was.
1--WE further propose to show that
the defendant never blackmailed or
ever made an attempt to blackmail
and that the charges result from the
effort of the prosecuting witness (Mr.
Warriner) to attract attention from
himself and throw some of the blame
on someone else"
Without a show of feeling Warrin-
er, attired in his prison suit recited
his accusations against Mrs. Ford vol
unfairly.
"She called me by telephone in the
fall of 1902, and | met her at the
Grand hotel for the first time" he
said "She told me that Edgar S.
Cook had spurned her attentions and
asked me to compel Cook to return
to her | refused and she declared
she knew that and others were short
in our accounts. She asked for $4,000
and we finally compromised for $50.
"She took it and agreed to say moth
ing of the shortage. After that her
demands were constant. In all gave
her $4,000 a year for nearly seven
years"
Witness also testified that he fur
nished $4,000 for an operation on
the defendant, and that he paid so
many other bills he could not keep
track OF them

investigation included the packing
houses, jobbers, commission men, re-
tailers, cold storage houses and the
methods of local organizations.
Last week several Of these men were

0UTRAGES BY NIGHT RIDERS
Said to Be Killing Negroes and Burn
ing Their Houses and Churches.

Atlanta, a., Feb. Night riders
are killing negroes in Columbia
county and burning their homes and
churches, according to information
which has been received by Governor
Brown. Such a state of anarchy
seems to prevail, according to the re-
ports. that Governor Brown has begun
an investigation to fix the responsible
ity and to protect the negroes.
Negroes are leaving the county in
large numbers and are listing their
farms and property with real estate
dealers of Augusta, declaring that
their lives are unsafe in Columbia
county and that they intend to settle
elsewhere. Such terror has been
caused by night riders, that 1t is said
to be unsafe even for white people of
Columbia to talk. To delve into the
situation and try to bring real facts to
the surface, would be at the risk of
life. A more desperate and lawless
set Of men than those perpetrating
those depredations cannot be found.
Just why the danger exists or whence
It comes the negroes themselves don't
know or are afraid to tell
So far not a single arrest has been
made
That entire section OF the state is
worked up and is demanding that the
county officials become more active
in quelling the lawlessness, and If pos.
sible bring the law breakers to jus.
tice.

SENSATIONAL TRIAL COMING
Young Millionaire Indicted on His

Atlantic City, N. j., Feb. Fired
erick Reiners, son of millionaire
Brooklyn distiller, was again indicted
by the Atlantic City grand jury at

besmirch her character sufficiently to
secure him a divorce.
Montgomery and Shrill were also
named in the indictment and will be

Paris, Feb. 1.-The city has abso-
lutely recovered from the successive
shocks of its recent days of anxiety.
The terror of last Friday seems like
nightmare now when continual re-
ports are published of the sibsidence
OF the Seine and the sun shines bril-
liantly after days of rain. Crowds
continued to gather as near the in
undated places as the soldiers will
permit them, but there is a tendency
now to jest about the situation.
News CT the sinking in of pavements
and the abandonment of houses is TAX
en- as matter of course. Only the
lack of heat and light in some quar-
ters, the failure of telephone commun-
ication in others and traffic difficulties
everywhere remain to remind one of
the terrors of the last few days.
Telegraphic communication is still
unreliable. A few lines are still
working but their services are in
such great demand that today the
postofiice sent numberless messages
by train to be left at the nearest sta
tion to their destination and be de-
livered from there. The itinerary of
the traffic lines in the metropolitan
district will no doubt be changed and
in this way several commercial CEN
ters will be affected. For instance, it
is doubtful if the station in the Place
de LOpera will open again and it
certainly will be months before per-
feet order is restored to the city's
transportation lines.
The situation was so much i'm.
proved that the authorities declined
further offers of boats. They say
that they are now able to cope with
the situation without volunteer aid.
Today, however, a newspaper called
the Automobile urged amateur auto.
mobilists to utilize their machines
for the benefit of the flood sufferers.
About forty Of the smallest cars were
loaded with bread and other food
stuffs and sent to the most affected
districts. Many of the occupants of
the cars met with hostile receptions.
The people at first believed them to
be rich sensation seekers and were
on the verge in several instances of
attacking the good Samaritans when
they discovered the mistake. As the
result the automob;iisIs were roundly
cheered.
AT the sitting of the chamber of
deputies the proposal to decorate off.
cfals who distinguished themselves
at rescue work was postponed at the
suggestion of the premier, who said:
"Frenchmen do not need the spur of
a decoration to do their duty. They
never think of reward when called
upon for sacrifices"
Its is certain nevertheless that the
next honor list will be much longer
than usual.

In his sworn charge Senator Conger

was initiated by Senator Aids and
that he demanded the 81 1000, instead

charges were led to believe that 1t
was Conger himself who pnid Aids

has made it plain that he saw man

COAL LAND CASES
CLAWS Testified RsIlinger Asked They
Be Held Till After Election.

DC IlClu III HIlCT GlCCblOHs
Louis k. CLAWS, former special
agent of the land office, the author Of
the charges against Secretary Bal
linger, testified before the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation committee that
Mr.. Ballinger urged him to post
pone his investigation of the Cunning
ham coal land cases until after the
presidential election of 1908. The re-
quest was made, however. after Mr..
Ballinger had ceased to be commits
sioner of the general land Office and
while he was member of the Repub-
lican national campaign committee.
The postponement was asked for at
a conference in Portland, Ore, in Oc-
tober, 1908. The reason assigned by
Mr.. Ballinger, according to the wit
ness, was that two of the Cunningham
coal land claimants, A. C. Avery and
|. c. Smith of Seattle, had refused to
contribute to the Republican cam
paign fund because the government
was holding up patents to their coal
entries
