found on a safe in Liege that had been
rifled last January duplicated on a
little photograph sent from Llege to
the central office here and finger
marks freshly imprinted on a proof
pulled by Central Office Detective led
to the detention this afternoon of a
young man giving the name of Louis
Mendelbahm. He Is charged with rob-
berry.
On the morning of January Z, last.
the brothers Francois and Emile
Marck found that the vault of the bank
in Liege had been opened and robbed
OF $4,000 in jewelry, bonds and cash.
A private safe in the bankers house
adjoining also had been forced and
on its door we're found finger prints
in oil The Belgian police thought
they recognized the workmanship and
sent to the police here a description
and photograph of the finger prints of
the man they believed guilty. The

Mendelbaum tally exactly with those
sent from Belgium. Mandelbaum pro-
tests that he does not know why he

"Night Riders"
Twelve Men Charged with Conspiracy
in Restraint of Trade at Dry
Ridge, KY.

CINCINNATI. o., Feb. 1.-THE first blow
struck by the United States against alleged
might riders was delivered today, when q

turned indictments against twelve men OF
Dry Ridge, KY, for conspiracy in restraint
OF trade. One Of the men indicted is John
s. Steers, a member of the state legisla-
ture. The indictments charge that the de-
PENDANTS conspired to prevent w. T. Os-
borne from shipping four hogsheads Of
tobacco from Dry Ridge to Cincinnati. They
are charged with having intimidated by
threats OF violence both Osborne and the
station agent at Dry Ridge. Three counts
were returned, but they differ merely tech
nIcally. .
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE offense on
which the night rider indictments are based
are characterized as one of the most literal
examples OF restraint in trade that has ever
come to the attention of. the federal legal
department.
Wade H.. Ellis, assistant attorney general
in charge Of the prosecution made this
statement concerning the contemplated
prosecution:
ut developed at a recent hearing Of the
officers and representatives Of the Burnley
Tobacco society in Washington that the
cniet grievance against tne society OF any
of Its members were the acts of violence,
depreciation and foroble opposition to the
shipment OF tobacco to points outside the
state by Independent growers, who refused
to Join the society. The officers OF the
society disavow any responsibility for the
acts Of these night riders and the govern
ment determined to select what seemed to
be a clear case Of the physical prevention
of Interstate shipments of tobacco and to
prosecute under the criminal sections OF
the Sherman act, the individual perpe-
traitors,

PHILIPS JURY IS SECURED
Young Men Will Decide Fate of
Hamilton's Slayer.
SEVENTY -FOUR MEN EXAMINED
Only Opening Address of Trial Made
and First witness VIII Take
stand This MOrninE-Mrs.
Philips subpoenned.

Jim Philips fate will be decided by a
jury Of comparatively young men who were
finally accepted in the murder case yes
terday afternoon following a two days
examination Of venire and talesmen.
Seventy-four men were quizzed by the
attorneys on each side in district court be-
fore twelve acceptable to both were found.
The defense then had left six peremptory
challenges and the state had used it's six.
Forty-four men were challenged for cause,
most of these because they had a prejudice
against capital punishment and a few be-
cause they had fixed opinions about the
guilt or innocence Of the man who called
out Marsh Hamilton from his cabin by the
sawmill near Florence and shot him dead.
Nine of the twelve men accepted for the
jury were picked up by Sheriff Bradley yes
terday, the regular venire having been ex-
hausted. OF this regular venire only three
men qualified. The twelve who constitute
the jury are these:
Dennis Gushing, 2522 Q street, South
Omaha.
/. II. McNiel, 1910 South Tenth street. b
j. S. Anderson, COS North Forty-first
/. ii. Horner, 211O South Thirty-fourth

states Case Not Lengthy.
Following the acceptance of the last man,
County Attorney English outlined the
states case, This he asserted, will compass
but a small ground and occupy but a little
time in the giving Of evidence. Mr., Eng
lish narrated the principal facts of the
shooting, which are those brought out at
the inquest and in the preliminary exam
ination Of Philips in county court. rs
Then H. b. Fleharty for the, defense tried
to get an extension of the defendants
opening address until the state had rested
it's case in chief. The privilege was denied
him by Judge Estelle as not warranted by
statute. Fleharty took an exception and
waived opening address at the time.
The first witness will be called by the
state this morning. He will be Charles
Pate, who was in the house with Hamilton
when Philips called him to the door. The
jury was not locked up last night, but will
be hereafter.
Next to the defendant, himself, Mrs.
! Mabel Philips, wife of Jim Philips, con-
tinues to be the chief subject of interest
in the murder trial.
The defense sprang a surprise Thursday
when it had a subpoena issued for Mrs.
Philips. 1t had not been expected that this
side would call her, because her feelings
are known not to be overly friendly to her
husband. 1t is possible that the state will
also call her to the stand.
