Trial.

lCIdVs
Los Angeles, CAL, Aug. 19.-An air
Of uncertainty surrounds the DISPOSE
ton of the second indictment against
Clarence S. barrow, Notwithstanding
the announcement of District Attor-
ney Fredericks that the Chicago law
yer would be tried again.
The second Indictment alleges that
Mr.. Darrow bribed Robert F. Balm.
the first juror sworn to try the Nc
Namara case.
District Attorney Fredericks reiter-
ated his intention to bring Darrow to
trial on the Balm indictment but he
declined to say what date he would
recommend for the trial when oppos-
ing counsel appeared before Judge
Hutton.
1t was announced that Judge Hut
ton would be asked to set the date at
once, but the district attorney said
there might be some delay as he had
not definitely determined what request
to make. 1t also was probable, he
said, that the defendant might have
some request.
The impression prevails that be-
cause of the length and cost of the
trial just ended and the rapidity with
which the jury reached it's verdict
there will be no further trial OF Oar.

Declared Captain Hayes Is Prepared
To Give Important
Information.

New York, Aug. 20.-Interest in the
Rosenthal case is centered in the pre-
jected interview between District At.
torney Whitman and Sam Schepps, the
man believed to hold in his keeping
important secrets connected with the
murder and surrounding graft which
will do much toward clearing up the
case. Schepps has just arrived from
Buffalo.
One other important development is
being forecasted. 1t is stated that Cap.
tain Cornelius G.. Hayes, the reduced
former police inspector, who is under
charges of failure to enforce the law
in respect to disorderly resorts in his
district will be invited to call upon
the district attorney and talk over the
situation. Captain Hayes has declared
that he acted under orders from su.
perior officers. One of the charges
pending against the former inspector
is that he falsely stated that Com,
missioner Waldo directed him not to
obtain evidence against disorderly
houses except by order Of the commits.

That Captain Hayes, if sees fit, can

Washington. Aug. 10. - President
Taft made his first political speech
since that he made when notified Of

another party.
He asserted that those who were
not for the republican party were
against it and should get out Of the
