JURY HOLDS COPPER KING WAS
NOT GUILTY OF MlSAPPLY-
ING BANK FUNDS.
HIS DEALINGS HELD LEGAL
Brother Calls Attorney Wise a Liar
and Is Elected From court-Ac-
cused Issues Statement of His
Future Plans.

New York City,-Frederick Au-
gustus Heinze vas acquitted of the
charges of m%isapplying the funds of
the Mercantile National bank, while
he was president of the institution in
1907, and was cleared of the charge
Of overcertifying the checks of his
brothers firm, Otto Heinze & Co.
A jury in the criminal branch of the
United States circuit court, after a
trial lasting nearly three weeks,
found him not guilty and he was dis
charged.
Thus failed the attempt of the gov
eminent to hold Heinze responsible
for high finance during the panic three
years ago, alleged to be in violation
of the national banking laws.
Charles w Morse got Is years for
"bank-wrecking," but Heinze's trans
actions were held legal, notwithstand-
ing the prosecutions vigorous at
tempts to prove him q gambler with
millions not his own.
JOnn b. StdncnHeld the
young millionaire; Henry A. Wise,
United States district attorney for this
district, sought to convict him. Mr.,
Stanchfield summed up for the de-
Tense, and Mr.. Wise denounced the
defendant for over three hours.
Heinze issued this statement:
Il have been ready for trial every
day since the first indictment was re-
turned, two years and a half ago. This
delay has cost me between four and
five million dollars. The ruination of
my credit seems to have been the OBJ
ject most ~viciously aimed at"
However, | still have some Of the
best copper properties in the world,
and | intend to devote my whole at
tention to them"
Arthur P. Heinze, a brother of the
defendant, called MI. Wise a liar in
court, thereby furnishing the only
spectacular incident of the trial. For
his remsrk he was elected from the
court room.

TlLL0TS0N CONVICTED.
HOPES FOR REVERSAL
Verdict Of Guilty In "Incubator Baby
Kidnapping Case No Surprise
to Detective.

Holton, Kansas.-Attorneys for F.
Fl. Tillotson, head Of a Kansas City
detective agency, who was found
guilty of kidnapping the incubator
baby" Marian Bleakley, say they are
confident Of a reversal, as Judge Rains
permitted Judge Pollock to testify in
rebuttal.
The jury was out 1 hour and 20 min
utes. Tillotson's punishment was fixed
at from six months in Jail to five years
In the ~penitentiary.
The verdict was received in silence
by the audience, and Tillotson showed
no emotion. After the reading of the
verdict Prosecutor Schenck demanded
that Tillotson be locked up in the Hol-
ton Jail.
The instructions of Judge Rains
were not especially favorable to Til
lotson. They dealt only with the
question Of intent on the part of the
defendant. 1t was conceded that TIL
lotson's chances for acquittal up to
the time that Federal Judge Pollock
testified were better than ever.
Pollock, however, denied Tillotson's
testimony that he had told Tillotson
that the Kansas courts could make no
case of kidnapping against him. Acting
upon this advice, Tillotson testified
that he had arranged for the kidnap-
ing. Judge Pollock denied this testi-
mony absolutely.
The cases against Mrs. Stella Bar
clay, Joseph H. Gentry, Robert Ran.
dolph and David Gregg, co%-defendants
with Tillotson, were continued until
the first Monday in September.

DRIVE WITH ROCKEFELLER
Pleasant Recreation Provided for Peo-
Pile of Tarrytown by Their Fa-
nous Fellow ToWnsman.

T%arrytown, N. Y.-To take a drive
with John D. Rockefeller has become
a regular recreation this spring for a
great many of the friends and neigh
bors of that famous resident of larry
town, and he has increased thereby
his popularity among the people of
the little city. Not a pleasant day
goes by without the oil king inviting
some of them, men, women and chill
dren, to ride with him in automobile
or carriage, and it is safe to a that
the invitations are seldom declined,
for his vehicles are the best to be had,
and the drives around Tarrytown are
beautiful.
Mr.. Rockefeller, before starting for
a ride, always dons a paper vest, de-
claring it to be a great protection
against colds, and he insists that his
guests do the same. After the ride he
refuses to take back the garment, and
consequently in nearly every home in
Tarrytown may be found a paper vest
preserved as a souvenir of a delightful
ride with the multi-millionaire.

BALLINGER IS CHILLED
LAWYER GETS ADMISSION OF DIS
BARMENT FROM SECRETARY.
Shows Existence Of Interior Depart
ment Rulings Which Must Have
Been Violated.

Washington, D. C.-The existence
of rulings in the interior department
which Mr.. Ballinger must have violat-
ed in appearing before the general
land office in behalf of the Cunning
ham coal claimants, after his retire
ment as commissioner, was brought
out by Attorney Brandels in cross-ex-
aiming the secretary of interior in
the Ballinger-Pinchot Investigation. !
Mr.. Brandels got an admission from
Mr.. Ballinger that he had been barred
from appearing before the land office
by a similar ruling in another case
subsequent to his activity in the Cum
bingham cases and prior to his becom-
ing secretary of the interior.
Mr.. Ballinger said he had not called
these rulings to the attention Of the
president to assist him In reaching a
conclusion on the CLAWS charges be-
cause he did not think there was any
law to sustain them.
The committee decided to grant the
reffuest of Attorney Brandels that Os-
a Lawler, assistant attorney general
for the interior department, be asked
to furnish the original or copies III
his possession of the memorandum
which he prepared for the president
last September, and which Mr.. Bran
dels intimated the president followed
in writing his letter indicating Bal
linger and dismissing L. R. CLAWS. BY
unanimous vote the committee re-
fused to ask the president for similar
information.
Attorney Brandels had almost con-
cluded the cross-examination of Mr..
Ballinger when the hearing was ad-
journed until Thursday.
