HEAR OF CASH
FOR CAMPAIGN
BedelI Tells How He Spent
Money Inquired About
. by Probers.
MENTIONS ROOSEVELT

New York, Sept. Gas Louis Be
dell, former member of the state as
sembly, after telling about spending
certain mysterious sums for campaign
imposes, adroitly caused the name of
Colonel Roosevelt to be mentioned at
the legislative graft inquiry there was
a rumor today, which could not be of
ficially verified, that the former presi-
dent may be summoned as a witness
so that he can be questioned concern
ing the New York Transportation
BILL" which Colonel Roosevelt signed
when governor.
At times Mr.. Bedelps examination
took ON a lively aspect. At II place
he objected ~vehemently to the assump-
ton by Counsel Bruce that the many
credits on Bedelrs ledger account with
Ellingwood s. Cunningham had their
source from deposits made with the
brokers by Messrs. Vreeland, Rogers
and Robinson, all of whom were &C
lively associated with large street rail-
way interests. Judge Bruce, when he
had an opportunity, replied to Mr.. Be-
dell with the statement that the as
sumption was based upon entries In
the brokers' books, and then Mr.. Be
dell answered holly that he did not
agree with that assumption, denied
that the books furnished any basis for
it ind demanded that such statements
should cease in the committees hear
ings.
Thereupon Mr.. Bruce, assisted by the
ever alert Mr.. Kresel. patiently went
over the ponderous 1edgers and the
ragged check stubs and made the wit
ness acknowledge that out of the elev-
en- credit entries in Mr.. BedeII's ac-
count, amounting in all to $24,291, ten
of the entries, amounting to $1o,2S1,
could be traced clearly through the
various entries in cash books, blotters
and check books to Vreeland, Rogers
and Robinson, excepting one credit of
5000, which came apparently from a
former Erie county assemblyman
named Schneider.
In his statement, which Mr.. Bedell
made upon invitation Of the commit
tee, the witness admitted that some Of
his Withdrawals Of cash from Filing
wood & Cunningham were used by
him to make political contributions to
the Republican state committee, the
Orange county Republican committee
and to pay his W campaign expenses.
Aside from the deposit of money to
the credit of the witness by Mr.. Rog-
ers to be used for campaign purposes,
the witness said other credits In his
account originating with Mr.. Rogers
were made because Mr.. Rogers felt q
moral obligation to recoup the witness
for losses he had sustained In joint
speculative accounts with Rogers.
MIR. Bruce was persistent while ex-
aiming Mr.. Bedell In trying to learn
the source of the tip upon which the
witness bought New York Transpor-
tatton," which is the name always
used In the examination for the New
York Electric Vehicle and Transports.

Breathitt County in. the Limelight'

Paris, KY, Nov. 28.-Light on the
feud situation in Breathitt county,
where, according to reliable reports,
followers of the late Judge James
Hargis are being killed off at the rate
of one a month, Is expected to result
from trial which was to-day set for
next Wednesday. }
The case is that against John Dav-
idson, Packer Coombs and Jason Dea-
ton, charged with the assassination of
John Abner, 3 horseman, in Jackson
last June. The case was transferred
from Breathitt county on the States
plea that it could not get fair trial
there.
Abner, according to confessions OF
alleged companions, helped murder
DR.. B.. D. Cox, James Marcum and
James Cockrill, after being hired for
that purpose by Hargis and Ed. Cal
lahan.
Whether the present trial will re-
suit in an exposition of the situation
| in Breathitt county will depend large
ly upon the willingness of the States
witness to talk. Several of them
have said that threats have already
been made against them.

Arrested on Serious Charge.

Albany, Ca, Nov. 2S.-A case,
which promises to develop unusuaIi
features lies back OF the arrest Of
Herbert George, 20-year-old Syrian;
resident of Albany, who is now in.
Jail, charged with criminally assault
ing Lizzie Davis, 8 years old, and
also of Syrian parentage. The child's
mother is dead, and her father was
away from home when the alleged
crime was committed.
The assault was committed Two
days ago, but was kept quiet by the
authorities until after Georges ar
rest. The child is in a pitiful condi-
ton. There is quite large colony
OF Syrians in Albany and they appear
to be divided in opinion as to the
probable guilt of the accused man.
though they are greatly wrought up
over the case.

WILL SUE INDIVIDUALS.
Carolina Glass Company to Bring Ac-
!; ton Against Commission Members.

Columbia, Nov. >128.-Declaring
that the effect of the action Of the
dispensary commission is to confis-
cate It's property, the Carolina Glass
Company, of this city, in its petition.
for q. rehearing before the supreme
court, calls attention to the commits
sion's holding up Of the county dis
pensary funds and the taking over
of the same to satisfy the alleged
"oyerjudgment" against the Glass
company. The compeny says that
| it has no remedy unless rehear-
Il ing is granted, inasmuch as the su-
preme court has not given the pow
er of enjoining the commission, al
though the court has declared that
the commissions overjudgment Is
not good against the company, and
there is no lien on the Glass COM
pany's property.
The Glass company is going to sue
the individual members of dispen-
sary commission. The position that
the Glass company finds itself in is
that although the supreme court has
held that the overjudgment gives
no lien, the money owed the Glass
company by the county dispensaries Is
held for this amount. The commission
claims the company owes the State.
Inasmuch as the State cannot be
sued, the Glass company will bring
it's further action against the individ-
ual members OF the commission.
The case will go into the United
States court, it is said. The petit
ton for rehearing has not yet been
acted upon by the supreme court.

London, Nov. 28.-The last state
ment of DR.. Crippen, who was hanged
on November % at Pentonville pris-
on. is published in a Sunday paper
in the form of two final letters writ
ten to Ethel Leneve, one Of which Is
dated November %. The letters are
not reproduced in their entirety, 1t
being explained that they contained
certain condolences, but nothing In
the nature of confession.
Crippen throughout declared his
innocence to Miss Leneve and hoped
that his innocence would one day be
revealed.
The letters, which are printed at
one, began with protestations of pas
sionate love for the girl and repeat
constantly the phrase God help us
to be brave in the face of the end
now so near"
Crippen continues: "How can
endure to take a last look at you1
face? What agony must go through
at last when you disappear forever
from my eyes! I am comforted II
thinking that throughout years o
friendship never have I passed one
unkind word or given one reproach
full look to her whom loved best II
life, to whom I have given myself
heart and soul, wholly, entirely, for
ever"

sible obtain the ashes and dispose O
them as she deems best. He ask
that she go to no further expens'
in irving to secure further evidence

Il can safely leave further evi
dence to just God"

Leneve will go to MRS. H." wher
she will be free from the lying tale
of the newspaper men, and concludes
!, Tomorrow I will be in God
hands. 1 have perfect faith that h
will let my spirit be with you al
ways"

Crippen's will, bequeathing every
thing to Miss Leneve.

DAVIDSON DIES OF WOUNDS.
Three Negroes Charged With Murder
of Cherokee Man.

Gaffney, Nov. 27.-A young white
man named Robert Davidson died at
his home in the Wilkinsville section
of this county, last night, as result
of gunshot wound inflicted by one
of three negroes-Luther Curry,
New Horton or Will Curry, on
Thanksgiving night 1t is impossible
to say exactly which one killed the
man, although suspicion strongly
points to Luther Curry. 1t seems
from the evidence that all three ne
groes did some shooting. The sheriff
was summoned to the scene as soon
as the trouble occurred, and the three
negroes are now in jail.
Davidson was picked up and taken
to his home directly after the shoot
ing, by some of his friends, and ply
sicians summoned, who at once decid-
ed that his leg must be amputated, !,
as it was practically torn from his
body. This was done, but he was
unable to survive the shock and died
last night Coroner Vinesett went
to the scene this morning and an in
quest is now being held.
It seems from the testimony intro
duced at the inquest that Davidson
had been hunting and stopped at
negro church, where frolic was 60
ing on, to get something to eat be-
fore going home. He obtained some
thing to eat and started down the
road, but was pursued by the three
above named negroes and two pistols
and one gun were fired at him. A
short time after he fell to the ground,
it seems, the negroes reached the
scene and fired three more shots at
him. Tn inquest is still going on
and no verdict has been given out
as yet. All of the negroes were
drunk, it is said.

White Man Shoots Negro.

Florence, Nov. 25.-Mr. George w.
Hewitt, well known livery stable
man of this city, shot and seriously
wounded Ed. f.. Williams, a negro
hackman, here last night.
From the best information obtain
able it seems that Williams was ow-
ing Mr.. Hewitt a balance of $50, on
a horse bought of him some, time ago.
Hewitt had made numerous efforts
to collect the balance from Williams
but never could catch him long
enough to speak with him over the
matter. Last night Hewitt went to
Williams's shop over in East Marion
street, and finding him there walked
in and asked for a settlement of the
balance due. Williams, it is stated,
in a very obstreperous manner de-
manded of Hewitt his right to thus
call on him at his place of business
at that hour Of the evening to collect
an account. Hewitt demonstrated
with Williams and told him that It
was the only opportunity he had OF
meeting him. Williams began curs-
ing and called Hewitt a name that no
white man would take and Williams
reached around behind him and pick
ed up a pistol, and as he turned
towards Hewitt with the pistol In his
hand Hewitt fired at him with his
pistol shooting him in the arm and
and in the left breast just abive the
heart.
Hewitt Immediately surrendered
himself to the chief of police to await
the result of his shots.
After physician saw Williams and
finding there was no immediate
danger of the wound, Hewitt was
released on bond to appear at the
mayors court to answer the charge
entered against him.
Williams has an unsavory reputa-
tion throughout the city and at times
is very insolent. On one occasion
when being examined in the court
house here by a prominent attorney,
it is stated that he absolutely refused
to answer a question that was put to
him by the attorney when he address
ed him as Ed, informing him that his
name was Mr.. E. T. Williams and not
Ed.
The physician who attended Will
! liams thinks that he will get over the
wound.
