PLOTS
AND COUNTER PLOTS
The Kimmel Identification
Case Has Spectacular
Side Lights

st. Louis. Mo-. Feb. S.-Plots and
counter plots were charged by attor-
neys in the kimmel mystery cast to-
day in the United States district court.
The attorneys completed their state
ments to the jury and numerous de-
positions we're read before court adj
journed.
The first explanation offered in court
for the disappearance of George a.
kimmel. bank cashier from Arkansas
City, kas.. July %. 1898, was set forth
by Edward o'Bryan, attorney for the
insurance company which is being
sued by the receiver of a defunct bank
of Niles, Mich. for insurance on Kim
mel's life.
O'Bryan said Kimmel owed $4,000
on paper about to fall due, had only
$1,000 to meet the debts and was In
danger in connection with a $4,000
express robbery. He then told the
jurors that Andrew j. White, the for
mer New York convict to whom he re.
ferred without qualification as kim
MEL would tell his story to the jury.
The attorney said that after Kim
mel disappeared his relatives paid his
debts, In part, out Of the remaining
assets just as if he were alive. The
insurance company he said notified
Mrs. Kimmel. mother of the man who
Disappeared, that her son had been
found in prison and that she paid no
attention to the notice.
O'Bryan said he would prove that
Kimmel was in St. Louis. July Fl.
1898, the time that an important wit
ness for the hank receiver has stated
that he was in Arkansas. This wit
ness, John B. Swinney has in a depo.
sition stated that he saw Kimmel
killed In Oregon and that he killed
kimmel's slayer. O'Bryan referred to
Swinney as a former train. robber,
murderer and ex%-convict. whose story
is 80 improbable and highly colored
as to be unworthy of consideration of
sane men,"
The attorney in his statement de-
MED that White. who he called KIM
mel is Turkey White. a former rail.
road employee. Turkey" White. it is
said, will testify In the trial.

Practically Worthless

Washington. Feb. s.-Ratiication
Of the pending arbitration treaties
with Great Britain and France,
though lame and impotent as an
obligation to settle disputes" was urg-
ed before the senate today by Sena-
tor Works Of California. He declared
that the representatives Of the three
graf powers had intended to exclude
from the terms Of the agreement ev-
cry dispute that a nation was likely
to go to war about. they could have
done it more effectually.
Questions of national honor, the
so-called Monroe doctrine. the respec-
tive rights Of the citizens of the con-
tracing parties. n almost every 9TH
er matter of dispute of any conse-
quence." said Senator Works, "is ex-
cluded from the effect Of the treaties
by the definition Of ".iustinable ques-
tons.' as a declaration in favor of
peace. The treaties are commenda-
Bile. and AS such l support them as a
means Of settling disputes between
nations in a way to avoid war. hut
they are almost wholly without force
or merit"
Senator Works said the United
States government was "puffed up
with power and wealth and consu,n-
ed the lust for more power and great
I'll wealth.. ne declared the govern
ment could remove the greatest oh
stacle to the attainment of peace and
save millions of dollars of unnecessary
expense by surrendering the 'addi-
tional territory across the sea, acquir-
ed by little better than a sham naval
battle followed b va course of deceit
and intrigue.
Senator Works advocated an alli-
ance between the great powers to os-
tracize commercially and otherwise
any nation that went to war and ia
bind themselves no to increase their
ornaments.

gan an investigation into the jackson

investigation a subpoena was issued
directing HI wire company to pro-
duce all letters and papers bearing
upon the transactions under inquiry.
The officers Of. the wire company
complied with this subpoena by gath
ering together from their files all the
papers called for. They were very
numerous and filled a large trunk.
One of the officers brought the trunk
full of papers from Worcester, Mass,
where they we're assembled, to the
grand jury in New York. Instead Of
being retained, in accordance with the
usual custom. in the custody Of the
officer producing them during the re-
