HYDE FOUND GUILTY.
FORMER CITY CHAMBERLAIN OF
NEW YORK uNMovED
BY VERDICT.
MAXIMUM Is TEN YEARS.
Fine Of $4,000 Also PosslbIe-Proseeu-
tion's Attorneys Uphold the
Testimony Of J. G.
Robin.

New York, Dec. 2. - Charles H.
Hyde, former city chamberlain, was
found guilty of bribery in connection
with the performance of his duties as
a city official.
The section of the law under which
Hyde vas convicted provides a penalty
of imprisonment for not more than 10
years or a fine Of not more than $4,000
or both.
Jury Out Three Hours.
The jury, which has been hearing
his cas- in the supreme court, rem.
dered It's verdict after nearly three
and a half hours deliberation.
Justice Cor remanded Hyde until
Dec. 4, and the former chamberlain
was led across the Bridge Of Signs
to a cell In the Tombs. 1t was his
first taste Of prison life for he had
been at liberty on bail since his indict'
ment and during his trial.
When the Ease was given to the jury
there were few who expected a verdict
in so short a time, and when word was
sent from the jury room that they had
reached a verdict, Justice Goff was not
about. 1t was nearly 40 minutes be-
fore he appeared. Hyde was brought
In and faced the jury.
Hyde Shows No Emotion.
As the word guilty" fell from the
foreman's lips, Hyde's eyes, which had
been fixed on the jurors faces, did not
waver, and he gave no evidence OF
emotion.
After his counsel, John b. Stanch'
field, had asked for and obtained the
privilege of making such motion in the
case on Wednesday next as he deemed
proper, the pedigree" of the former
chamberlain was taken. Hyde an.
swered the questions in a clear voice.
When he came to be led away he
flushed and walked with dropping head
to the door.
Justice Golf, In discharging the Jury.
thanked it's members for their atten.
ton to the case and their "conscienti.
Gus discharge Of duty"
Hyde was accused, In the words OF
state counsel to the jury, of using
THE power and the pressure OF his
official position, ~unlawfully to induce
Joseph C. Robin, head of the defunct
Northern bank, to cause the bank to
loan the Carnegie Trust company
$4,000"
Justice Goff, in charging the jury,
said:
The meat of the charge is: Did
defendant receive something by which
his course of action was influenced
II he did, then he is guilty of the
charge Of bribery. II there was any
consideration whatsoever, even II II
was of no intrinsic value. the position
is the same"

SYNDlCATEOF 1WEaTYTHlEVES
HALF MILLION IN PROPERTY
STOLEN AND DISPOSED OF.
Gang Said to Be Headed by TWO
Physicians Now Under
Arrest.

Chicago, Dec. 2. - Half a million
dollars in stolen property has been
stolen by a syndicate of 20 thieves,
headed by two physicians now under
arrest with two others at detective
headquarters, according to officers
who have been following the trail of
the thieves for months. The alleged
leaders Of the formidable organiza-
tiontion arrested are Or. Nicholas
Kern, DR.. Edward B. S~talhutte, Joseph
Todd and Remus Doughty.
The property, 1t is asserted was sys-
tematically taken from railroads, ware
houses and steamship lines, and con-
sisted of automobiles, motorcycles and
loads Of merchandise of every descrip-
ton. Within the last two years, it is
said, the band Of robbers has en-
braced courthouse employees, express
company men, the thieves themselves,
fence" keepers and jobbing houses to
dispose of the stolen goods. Loot
amounting to 500 0 already has been
recovered from barns and warehouses.
A little boy, adopted son of one of
the alleged thieves, is said to have
given the information that led to the
disclosure of the hiding places. The
boy told where the books Of the syn
dictate were to be found. A remark
able ledger, said to have been kept by
the manager" of the organization,
showed just what property the syndi-
cate had on hand. A code was used,
and three columns of figures showed
the cost price of the goods, the selling
price, the cost of delivering the goods
for auction and sale, and the profit &C.
cruing to the gang.

fall

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. 30.-J. Frank
Hickey, of Quincy, Mass. recently ar
rested in New Jersey, has confessed to
the murder Of 7-year-old Joseph
Josephs of Lackawanna, the crime for
which he stands indicted.
He has also confessed to the murder
OF Michael Kruck, the young New York
newsboy, ten years ago. The confes.
sions came as the result of a confer
ence by District Attorney Dudley with
the man and were made public by the
county prosecutor, .
Hickey related the facts leading up
to his crimes with calmness but when
he came to the actual tale of the muir,
ders he broke down and wept.
Drink, drink, that's what caused
my terrible downfall" exclaimed the
man, as his face shook with sobs.
I've stood it as long as l could, but
I've got to confess. o, the torture my
life has been since that time, when
late in the afternoon of October IL
lured that little Syrian lad to his
awful death.

The writer in his notes declared
that he had killed the child. In sew

CONGRESS ON AGAIN
HOUSE AND eENATE CONVENE
FOR THREE MONTHS WORK
AT WASHINGTON.
MONEY BILLS TO o UP
Appropriation Measures Make Up IN
Bulk Of the Program, to Be
Little Constructive
Legislation. ]

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE house and
.enate both convened at moo today
for the final session of the sixty-sec-
ond congress. They will remain at,
work for about two weeks and then
adjourn for the holidays. Returning to
Washington early in January, the law
makers will resume their labors,
which will come to a. end March 4th
with the Inauguration of Mr.. Wilson
as president.
Appropriation bills will take Up ths
time of congress almost exclusively,
and there is no expectation that any,
amount Of constructive legislation
can be accomplished before the
advent Of the Democratic administra-
ton. The members must act upon
more than a dozen bills carrying total
appropriations of over a billion dol
lars.
Two of the annual budgets are now
~ready-the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill and the Dis
trict of Columbia bill. These, pos
sibly, will be passed by the house and
sent over to the senate before the
Christmas adjournment. The naval,
military, p~ostoffice, Indian, fortifica-
tons, diplomatic, pensions and minor
budgets must be passed in January
and February.
1t is apparent to experienced men,
bers that such big questions as the
tariff, the trusts and the currency
problem cannot be tackled in the
days intervening between December 2
and March 4. Congress will be forced
to appropriate at the rate of about
$12, 500,0 900 per day in order to meet
the running expenses of the United
States government during the fiscal
year of 1913. This immense task prac-
tically precludes all hope of general
legislation and unusually fast work
will be required to dispose of the ap
preparation measures on the eve OF
the incoming administration.
On the other hand the Democrats OF
the house, cognizant of the fact that
their party will control the entire
governmental machinery after Presi-
dent Wilson is indicted into office.
are loath to undertake general legisla-
ton during the short session, even IL
the opportunity were offered. The
Democrats figure that 1t is useless to
consider legislation which might meet
a stumbling block in a dying Repub-
lican senate or at the White House.
1t is anticipated that the house COM
mittee on banking and currency will
continue it's investigation of the
money trust" and may make a tenta-
tive draft of bills to amend the cur
rency laws. 1t is not expected, how
ever, that any effort will be made to
enact these into laws during the short
session, apd the committee, in effect,
will mark time until the change of
administrations.
The ways and means committee will
plug ahead in its preparation of bills
revising the Payne-Aldrich tariff law,
but non Of these measures will be
brought out until the beginning of the
sixty-third congress, which will be con.
vened in extraordinary session about
April 18th.

II is understood that the armistice
will extend for about a fortnight II
