LEWIS NOT A
JEWELRY THIEF
Mrs. H. G. Rettew Admits
Young Man is Victim Of
Mistaken Identity
MAGISTRATE WILL
DISMISS DEFENDANT

Mortimer L. Lewis, a young man,
acquitted in County Court yesterday
afternoon of a charge of embezzle-
ment, preferred against him by George
F. Mason. for whom he managed a
grocery store, and was re-arrested on
charge Of larceny Of SIS in cash
and $1,000 in jewelry, the property
Of Mrs. Horace c. Rettew, was a vic
tim of mistaken identity.
Mrs. Rettew was among the spec
tators in the court room yesterday
while Lewis was on trial, and thought
she recognized Lewis as the man who
had engaged lodging at her home,
and then disappeared taking with him
the money and jewelry. So confident
was Mrs. Rettew at the time that
Lewis was the man who had robbed
her home she left the court room
and proceeded to Magistrate Gluck-
mans Office and swore out a VAR
rant for Lewis arrest.
Lewis was greatly surprised when
State Detective Gillis, in whose hands
the warrant was placed, took him
into custody. He protested his inno-
1NncGf Dul nAAAAAhAe 0NRAAh ftNhAr' -
detective TO the magistrates Office
where he was held in $1,000 for a
hearing at 8 o'clock this afternoon.
Lewis again said he was innocent OF
the charge and added that when the
theft was committed he was in Allen
town which fact he could easily
prove. Kleitz and Bro, jewellers, by
whom Lewis is employed, furnished
the necessary security and Lewis was
released.
This morning Lewis went TO the
home Of the Rettews and facing Mrs.
Rettew asked her II he was the per-
son who had engaged the room from
her in September. After looking al
him for moment or two Mrs. Ret
tew admitted that she had been mis-.
taken and that he was not the missing
boarded. She had gotten close view
Of him and was satisfied that he wa!
not the man.
As a result, when the case comes VI
this afternoon. there win be nothing
for the magistrate to do but dismiss
the young man.

MIX-UP OVER
ELECTION CASE
Deputy Attorney General Har-
ringtOn investigating
Wiley Affair at Dover
WRONG STATEMENTS ABOUT
MIR. HUTTON AND Mr.. DAILY

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. Nov. 19.--Deputy At
tOrney General Watson w. Harrington
says the case OF Francis Wiley, who
is accused by Frederick Murphy OF
trying TO get three negroes under
Vomise of $500 reward tQ wear false
~ that Murphy tried TO bribe them
viii be prosecuted 20 the limit Mr.
Harrington Is now inquiring into all
the details OF the case Wiley is under
BAN for court The negroes he is 40.
cused Of trying 10 get 20 swear falsely
against Murphy, are Samuel Paige
Henry Turner and Harry Turner.
Murphey. who Is the complainant
against Wiley, Is a private detective
and a Republican worker.
Investigation of the affair, which
caused much talk here in political cir
cles around election time, shows that
some erroneous statements were made
I'm the article appearing In The Jour
nal on Wednesday which reflect upon
John b. Hutton and Alexander NJ.
DAILY, who figured I'm a preliminary in
vestigation OF the affair. Among other
things the article stated that after the
three negroes had made a statement to
Mr.. Hutton. who was acting for Deputy
AttOrney-General Harrington, 1T is
charged that at the direction of Mr..
Hutton the stenographic notes were
changed" and also at the hearing
Deputy Attorney-General Harrington
admitted that Mr.. Hutton's action had
placed him (Mr Harrington In an
embarrassing position, and he refused
to allow the changed statement to be
presented as evidence"
Both of these statements that ap-
peared I'm The Journal, are untrue, IN
vestigation has shown. and the cor
rection is gladly made I'm justice to Mr..
Hutton. There is nothing whatever to
show that Mr.. Hutton or anybody
changed the stenOgraphic notes, nor
did Deputy Attorney-General Harring-
ton say anything about the notes be-
ing changed, although he did object
to the statement taken by Mr.. Hutton
from the negroes being offered in evil
dence at the Wiley hearing.
The article also intimated that Mr..
DAILY was cognizant of a scheme OF
Wnley's to try to trap Murphy by hav-
ing the negroes 10 swear falsely
against him. but there is nothing TO
show that Mr. DAILY acted other than
in the best faith, upon the representa-
ton made to him by Wiley that the
negroes wished to give testimony
against Murphy. and Mr.. DAILY did not
know otherwise until the negroes told
MIR. Hutton under oath that Murphy
had not tried to buy their votes.
How the Affair Occurred.

made by a Journal representative, thai

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, Nov. 19.-The government
has learned a lesson as the result OF
the prominence the suffragists give to
their members who have served prison
sentences. Hereafter, whenever no
serious oflense Is committed there
will be no prosecution OF women ar

strations. This was indicated to-day
when the women arrested during yes

ment building were released after be-
Ing arfaigned IN court
There were 119 women brought into
the Bow street court when It opened
to-day. After they had answered to
their names. the prosecutor announced
that the government had decided that
grounds of public policy dictated the
wisdom OF dismissing the cases and
this was Immediately done. It is gem
orally done. IL is believed that the
government is willing to put up with
riots In preference TO holding a horde
Of women suffragists in prison and be-

walking up to the bar said to the
proprietor:
"You -- you have my little sister

from her home and are keeping her
a prisoner. / want 20 see her right

At a signal two Of the habitues of
the place grabbed hold Of Brouwer
and threw him out of the place. He
was warned that he would be well
beaten up If he ever returned.
Getting up, young Brouwer, as he
brushed the dirt from his clothes
shouted
Il will come back and l will get my
sister or some one will get hurt"
Late last night word was sent TO the
place that Brouwer, accompanied by
his father and several friends were on
the way to Merritt's. The lights were

the inmates waited. Some hours later
there came a knock on the door. When
it was not opened Brouwer's voice was
heard:
