men, the only other survivors, are
being cared for at a small isolated
settlement a few miles from st.
Shots. Their condition is serious
The Florence had disappeared be-
meath the waves before Mate Hedley
and his little band left the cliffs, up
on which they had found refuge Sat-
urday morning. Most of the men who
went down with the ship were lashed
to the rigging. The survivors stood
on the shore. unable to aid them.
Captain Barr and the entire crew
made a landing on a shelf of rock
soon after the steamer struck, but the
high cliffs on all sides made it inn
possible for them to escape, and the
rising tide compelled them to return
to the ship. Later Mate Hedley anc
four of the crew took a small boat
and succeeded in making a landing

RET|CENT ABOUT
ROCHEFORT'S CASE
Prosecutors Office Will Not
Tell Plans With Regard
to Prisoner.

The prosecutors office is reticent
today as to what further steps will
be taken in the case Of Charles w.
Rochefort, now under custody in the
county Jail as a material witness in
the case of the three men, Salvatore
Loponi, Nicolo Bierlicaire and Saliva
tore Lombardo, charged with the
murder of Policeman John j. McGov-
ern on the night of October II last.
Rochefort was held on this charge
following his acquittal on a charge
of attempting to poison his wife,
Catherine Rochefort, June 26 last.
Mrs. Rochefort went to New York
Saturday with County Detective Louis
Slutzky in the expectation of making
a complaint of bigamy against Roche
fort. He admitted on the witness
stand during his trial that he COM
mitted bigamy when he married Miss
May De Barleon in New York on
May IS last, inveigling her into the
marriage by telling her he was a
single man.
The complaint, 1t is understood,
was not made Saturday, but the rea-
son why 1t was not could not be as
certained from the prosecutors staff
today. 1t was reported that j. Victor
D'Aloia, counsel for Rochefort, in
tended to sue out a writ of habeas
corpus today for Rochefort's release
but he had not appeared at the Court
House up to noon today for the pur-
pRse.
~Rochefort is held as material wit
ness in the McGovern trial, owing tc
the fact that he heard confession
made by Salvatore Loponi. one of the
prisoners, and later turned the in
formation over to the prosecutors of
flee. 1t is doubtful if he wifi be
used as witness despite the fact
that he is being held as such.
Prosecutor Mott said today why
should | use witness like him? II
cannot convict the murderers ot
McGovern without the testimony OF
a 1-lf-. onfessed crook like Rochefort
I do not believe / can convict then
at all. do not want and do moi
need his testimony
In spite of this Mr., Mott saiC

ty Jail pending the trial in Januar.

the husband replied that his wife
had on several occasions insisted that
he sell his property in the city and
move to the country. She was crazy
for country life, he said. He refused
her request because he was a city
bred man. and because he had no
desire to get down to simple country
