Burns arrested our client, but not

hustled his prisoner to q police

over to Fredericks and the Burns
operatives.
''Fredericks knew and Burns
knew that the law called for Nc
Namara to be cited before a SUI

NEW YORK, July 7.--Before a
court room crowded with men
about town and with not a few
women in attendance, Millionaire
w. e. d. Stokes today resumed
his story of how he was wounded
by Lillian Graham and Ethel Con-
rad in their apartments here,
after, he declares, they had failed
in an attempt to blacknail him
for $4,000.
At the opening of court today
Clark Jordan, attorney for the
two girl defendants, admitted that
their story would be that they
shot Stokes in self defense.
Before we are done with this
case" said Jordan, 1--WE will make
Stokes good and sorry that he did
not follow out his original inten-
tion of going to Europe and drop
ping the case.
Stokes identified letters intro
duced in the trial last evening.
He said:

fields, Nicaragua"
With vehement gestures and at
the top of his voice. Stokes denied
that he had ever suggested mar
riage to Lillian Graham. He said
he knew Miss Graham and her
sister, Mrs. Singleton, as they had
lived at his hotel.
Girl Stayed at His Farm.
Stokes said the Graham girl had
remained on his farm near Lex
fngton after he first met her for
two or three days.
Attorney Moore, for the girls,
asked If she had not stayed only
one night and then left after
learning that Stokes was at the
farm alone.
81 know she stayed more than
one night" Stokes replied.
He denied with heat that he had
forced Miss Graham to write a let
ter generating him from any at
tempt to attack her before he al
lowed her to leave the farm.
Moore then inquired: Didn't
you allege to several persons that
Mrs. Singleton's adopted child
which is now in a Belgian con-
vent, is really Lillian's daugn-
ter?''
Stokes denied the charge.
did you ever have improper
relations with Lillian?" Moore
went on.
"I did not" said Stokes.
Questioned about a mysterious
countess, he claimed had come
across the ocean to warn him that
Lillian was a blackmailer, Stokes
reiterated the story.

GARRETSON AND
BEDFORD TO
GET OFF

Judge Stiles says the ordinance
regulating Jumpers" and other
current stealing devices has no
penalty except to cut Off the SER
vice so the city will probably pass
a new ordinance.
Under the administration OF
City Electrician Lauzon no techni-
cal bubbles were considered.
Lauzon went out, caught the
current stealers and hailed them
into court. Frank Latcham in
the attorneys office proceeded TO
sock them.
But Stiles says the ordinance
does not provide penalty and the
city would have to prosecute for
larceny.
Under this legal quibble moth
ing will be done with Max Garrett
son and Charles Bedford, caught
with jumpers on their wires.
But the law may be fixed SO 1t
will not be so easy for officials to
find excuses in the future.

He May be Brought Before

One Week After
Shooting

New Haven, Sept. 7.-Andrea Tan.
ganelli, who is being held by Deputy
Coroner William B. Ely for the
shooting of Mrs. Mary Davis on Tenn
pie street, Tuesday night, will be
brought before a grand jury next
Tuesday, and it is believed that an
effort will be made by States Attor-
ney Alling to have a true bill found
by the jury, holding Tanganelli fol-
trial on charge Of murder in the
first degree.
A sister of the murdered woman
Miss Campbell, arrived in this city
Pa, and c. P. Davis, the dead wo-
mans husband, is expected to arrive
here some time today. Miss Camp
bell looks very much like her dead
sister and Tanganelli nearly broke
down yesterday afternoon when he
was confronted by her at police head
quarters.
The accused, who was around a
greater part of yesterday afternoon,
with Sergeant Donnelly, Detective
Dornlan and Patrolman Gianelli, ap-
parently doesn't yet appreciate his
position and talks nonchalantly of the
affair, as if it didn't amount to much.
fort to keep back any information
from the authorities and yesterday
spent the greater part of the after
noon around with the officers trying
to locate the place where the revolver
was purchased. He says it was some
place around the center of the city,
but doesn't know just where.
The case has been cleaned up in re-
marka bly, fine shape, the police be-
lieve, and there are few points left to
work out. Much Of the credit of this
is due to the fine work Of Patrolman
Billy Wrinn, who arrested Tangan-
ELI Immediately after the shooting
and secured number Of witnesses to
the attendant features of the affair
and two actual eye witnesses.
The police claim that there hasn't
been a murder case in years to which
there has been eve witnesses and con-
sequently they look on the testimony
of Cyrus E. Wheeler and Miss Helen
Williams as extremely important and
are loud in their praise Of Wrinn's
work in locating them.
Robert Clarke, who was with the
woman at the time of the shooting,
and walked into the police station
and gave himself up yesterday, was
released yesterday afternoon on his
personal bond. He is held only as a
material witness. Clarke says he ran
away after the fracas because he
didn't know any one who would go
his bond and didn't want to spend the
Light in the police station.
