AGED MAN CAUGHT
HERE ON CHARGE OF
ABETT|NG BIG THEFT
Suspect Is Not Accused of
Having Received Any of
$4,000 Lost by Bank.

Accused of aiding and abetting" in
the alleged theft Of so, 900 from the FL
deity Banking and Trust Company, of
Bluefeld, w. Va, in January, 1911,
George w. Spearing, sixty-four years
old. was arrested at an apartment house
at 4o1 Third street northwest, today by
Detectives Burlingame and Weldon as
a fugitive from justice.
The arrest was made on a dispa tch
from the authorities of BluefieId, and,
shortly after Spearing had been taken
IN custody, Sheriff l. ]. Addison. of Mer-
Ger county. arrived In Washington with
requisition papers for the prisoner
According to a copy of the Indictment
against Spearing, he Is alleged to have
been implicated in the alleged felony
with two other men. No charge Is made
that he obtained any of the money. but
that he simply aided the other two be-
fore the money was taken.
The Indictment against Spear is
said to have been the result of searcfi-
ing investigation by the county authori-
ties into the affairs Of the trust COM
pany.
When placed under arrest by the de-
tectives, Spearing declined to make any
statement, except TO say he had never
been in Bluefeld. He said he was
manager" of the apartment house
where he was living, but declined to
say, the detectives assert, how long he
| had been In Washington.

HUTCH|NS ESTATE
EMBROGL|O ONCE
MORE POSTPONED
Objection Made to Employ
ment of Attorneys BY
Collector Dante.

Objections were today made to Justice
Anderson in the District Supreme Court
by counsel representing Walter s.
Hutchins against the employment Of at
torneys by William ]. Dante, collector
for the S4,5OO, 900 estate of Stilson Hutch
ms without an order of the court, and
as a consequence matters pertaining to
insurance policies held by the million
aire newspaper founder were postponed.
Attorneys Brandenburg & Branden-
burg have appeared as counsel for Mr..
Dante for several years and have rep
resented him in the litigation over the
Hutchins estate. Today's objection was
simply on technical grounds.
A motion to expunge certain portions
of the answer OF Mrs. Rose Keeling
Hutchins from the record was brought
up, but the court held II was not suf-
ficiently urgent to consider. Objection
is made to statement rejecting on the
mental capacity Of the millionaire at
the time he executed the will, which has
been attacked by Lee Hutchins, son,
who was left 20 per cent of the re-
naming estate.
Attorney r. Ross Perry In his state
ment to the court today as counsel for
Walter Hutchins, another son. predicted
there will probably be other contests
to the probate OF the will in question.
However, 1t is not expected his client
will be one of the caveators, although
there Is a probability that Mildred
Rogers, a grandchild of the millionaire,
who was left a legacy Of 10 per cent
OF the remaining estate, may file a

many thousands more near the Ellipse
than the above estimate, which Is the

At all events, when the fireworks had
ended and the mighty crowd surged
onto the Avenue, that broad thorough

and congested. Down its red-blazing
length the thousands who had been at

Tiger In White House.
The fireworks. which lasted from $50
to 10 o'clock, were so splendidly magnif-
ioent at times that the big crowd broke
into hearty applause. Once in a while
q roar of laughter went up. as when
a tawny- striped tiger. released in some
mysterious pyrotechnic way, sailed over
and descended in the White House
grounds.

The big set pieces, together with some
startling bomb effects, received the big
gest applause. One of these set pieces
was a portrayal of George Washington
and another of the American flag.
Bombs Are Popular.
Bombs, which released aerial pin
wheels, proved extremely popular, and
as wheel after wheel, dazzled in swirl
ing coruscation, admiration became lost
in wonder. The final effort of the pyro-
technic artists was furore of bombs
discharged at once, with the result that
the heavens became ablaze with green
and gold, and red and white. and a
dozen other colored stars. while the
noise sounded like artillery in action.
Other fireworks sent up at Petworth,
at Brookland, Somerset, and other Sec
:. tions, attracted much attention in those
. neighborhoods, and were Witnessed by
crowds comparatively large, though not
approaching, of course, the enormous
throng assembled near the Ellipse.
