banker certain further questions, but
resisted the temptation. and shortly
after plunged into his work so Wig
orously that the subject faded wholly
from his mind.
Now 1t was that George Bait made
his Importance felt. In the days which
followed he and Boyd toiled early and
late, for a thousand things needed
doing at once. Promptness was, above
all things, the essence of this enter
prise, and the lumber merchants, coal
dealers, machinery statesmen, and ship
chambers with whom they dealt vowed
they never had met men who reached
their decisions so quickly and labored
not only with such consuming haste,
! but with such unerring certainty.
There was no haggling over prices, no
loss of time in seeking competitive
bids; and because George always knew
precisely what he wanted, their task
of selection became comparatively
easy. With every detail of the bust
ness he was familiar. from long ex-
p~erience. There was no piece of ma
chinery that he did not know bet
ter than its makers. There vas never
any hesitancy as between rival types
or loading down with superfiuous gear.
His main concern vas for dates of de-
livery.
Three weeks passed quickly in siren
uous effort, and then one morning the
partners awoke to the realization that
there was little more for them to do.
Orders were in, shipments had started.
they had well-nigh completed the
charter of a ship. and a sailing date
had beer set. There were numerous
details yet to be arranged, but the
enterprise was in motion, and what
remained was simple. Despite their
desperate hurry they had made no
mistakes, and for this the credit lay
largely with Big George.
Through it all Clyde had lent them
enthusiastic If feeble assistance; and
now that the strain was off, he gave
fitting expression to his delight by
getting drunk. Being temperamental
to a degree, he craved company; and
knowing full well the opposition he
would encounter from his friends. he
annexed a bibulous following of loafers
whose time hung heavy and who were
at all times eager to applaud a loose
tongue so long as it was accompanied
by a loose purse. Toward midnight

Faces a
More Serious CHARGE
hypnotic Specialist ?. Emmett Suy, Charged With Assault
and Battery Now Faces Charge Of Rape in First
Degree-COunsel Reprimanded

At the first hearing of the trial of
Prof. p Emmett Sully, the clairvoyant
and hypnotist, held in police court yes
terday afternoon at o'clock, the for
mer charge OF assault and battery, wa
changed by the states attorney to that
OF rape in the first degree. The coun-
sci for the defense moved for immedi-
ate examination, which was objected
to by the attorney for the state, who
asked for more time, and the case was
set for tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock.
One Of the sensational incidents OF
the trial was the admonition given by
the court to the counsel for the de-
rense, Taylor Crum. The court stated
that rumors had been prevelant to the
effect that the defendants counsel had
seen the mother of the complaining
witness and had advised her to leave
the Jurisdiction Of the court. Repiti-
tlon OF such procedure, declared
Judge Miller, would not be apt to be
condoned, and he publicly advised con-
Iormity to the usual legal customs in
their strictest sense. Mr.. Crum denied
the allegation and stated that the ru-
NOR had grown out of the fact that
the brother Of the complaining witness
mad visited him in an effort to keen
their names from the public, which he
had thus far been successful in doing
