new York, May 25.-Oliver Splitter,
former superintendent of docks y
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany in Williamsburg, (Brooklyn),
who recently was pardoned from the
penitentiary by the president, explain
ed today why he did not confess dur
ing the trial which ended last Febru-
airy with his being sentenced to two
years.
Such a confession, he declared on
the stand today, would "have carried
him to a cemetery" In other words,
he could have implicated dead man
Henry o. Havemeyer, late head OF
the sugar trust. Splitter was under
cross examination by the defense at
the trial of Chas. R. Heike, secretary
treasurer Of the American Sugar Re-
fining company, who, with five subor-
dinates, is charged with conspiracy
to defraud the government by under
weighing sugar. He gave ehis direct
testimony for the prosecution on Mon
day. He repeated that he had made
his confession not with the hope OF
pardon, but to ease his conscience,
and added that after his conviction,
his attorney, now appearing for sew
eral of the defendants, had urged him
to tell all he knew.
What did you say when advised to
confess?" asked Clarence Lexow for
the defense.
Il said the only confession l can
o1y0 will {p<o h@
and Mr.. StimsOn (the government
prosecutor) doesn't want that"
"You are referring to Henry o.
Havemeyer?" asked the lawyer.
Yes, am," answered Splitter.
That closed the court incident, but
Splitter talked more freely after leav-
ing the stand. He said he had met
that E. w. Gerbract, former refinery
superintendent, and one of the de-
PENDANTS, had made his reports di-
rect to Havemeyer. The frauds, he
insisted, had begun before his time
although he worked on the dock for
twenty-nine years. He admitted that
steel springs used to manipulate the
scales on the docks, were his own in
vention.
why did you not tell the truth in
the first placer" he was asked
Every time I look in a mirror !
see damn fool" was the answer.
Il was a fool not to do it. but |
was ashamed to let any one know
that I did these things. My credit
was good; l could get anything that
l wanted and l did not want people
to know that I was fool enough to
do these things for nothing; l got
nothing out of it.
Another reason why I committed
perjury was because I thought moth
ing could happen to the sugar trust
strong that the getcmfetacmfwyaoin
We all thought the trust was so
strong that the government could do
nothing with it.

Chicago, May 25.-A sensational
turn was given the Lee.O'Neil-Browne
alleged bribary trial here late today
when it became known that an at
tempt was made during the noon re-
cess to burglarize Judge McSurleys
court room in the criminal court
building. A lock on the main door
had been jammed so badly that it was
necessary to remove it before the
door could be reopened. Whoever
attempted to secure access to import
ant papers by breaking into the court
room had apparently been frightened
awoy by the attaches of the building.
Judge McSurley, States Attorney
Wayman and assistants, lawyers OF
the defenSe, court stenographers and
newspaper men, were all at lunch
when the attempt was made. When
he was informed of the matter, States

The federal grand jury at Chicago,
which for three months has been inves-

antitrust law, has returned indictments
against the National Packing company
and 10 subsidiary companies. They are
charged with unlawful combination in
restraint of trade and commerce. If the
suit brought by the district attorney is
successful 1t will dissolve the National
Packing company, which was organized
by some of the well known packers in
1908, when a suit was brought against
them severally for combining to fix prices
and control trade in fresh meats. The
government claims that the combination
of these companies is in violation OF the
law.

Fifteen to 20 Years for Eddy.

\ sentence Of not less than 10 years
and not more than 20 years in the state
prison was pronounced by Judge A. A.
Hail in the Rutland county court Friday
upon Robert Eddy Of Wallingford, whom
a jury earlier in the week convicted of
manslaughter in causing the death of
Miss Mary Jane Johnson Of Wallingford,
Oct 8, 1909 The sentence will begin
when the respondent finishes a sentence
of a year and sc days for intoXication,
which he began in the house of cor
rection last October. The respondents
counsel previously waived all right OF
appeal in the case. Judge Hall ad-
dressed Eddy 10 minutes, and although
his remarks brought tears to the eyes Of
many Eddy showed no trace OF emotion.
He told Eddy that it was the purpose of
the court to give him a chance TO make
man Of himself yet and not to deprive
him of his liberty for the rest Of his life.
In 1893 Eddy was sent to the house of
correction for two years for burglary
In 1905 he was indicted for assault upon
Mrs Helen Wheeler of Walingford
The conviction of manslaughter was the
result Of a second trial, the jury failing
to agree at the first trial.
