Quinn Would Clear
Brothers Memory

MITCHELL. S, D., Van. 5.--(Special Tel
eEram.) THE body OF Luther Plotner, who
committed suicide at Woonsocket was
brought here this morning What Is to
he done with the body Is a question, as
Plotner's parents have not been heard
from. There were two suppositons put
forth as n reason for Plotner killing
himself Just as his trial was drawing TO
a close. Evidence had been introduced
in the case which he did not believe the
state possessed. and it had very dis
heartening effect on him. With the strong
evidence presented, with nothing In the
way to controvert It, Plotner evidently
believed that he could be convicted. He
remarked to a friend the day OF the trial
that even though he might be convicted
he would never 30 to prison.
Another reason for his suicide Is laid
to the presence OF German Quinn Of
Minneapolis, a brother OF Mrs Qulnn's de-
ceased husband who committed suicide
two years ago. Mr. Quinn did not reach
Noonsocket until after the evidence had
been presented and the case closed. He
had in his possession letters written by
| Plotner which tended TO throw a sus-
picion on him that would connect him
with the murder of quinn. 1t is believed
that Plotner feared some trouble with the
presence of Quinn, and the two com
bined drove him to his last act of des-
peration. In court Wednesday Plotner
| appeared to be very nervous and Ill at
ease all the time.
Judge Jones made change in the order
given yesterday declaring the bond of
/ Plotner for $3.50 forfeited, and later ia
the day he vacated the order releasing
! the surety company from paying over the
money. The case against Mrs, Quinn was
continued until the April term of court,
and there Is a possibility OF its being
continued from that term, and perhaps
may never be tried.
German Quinn's object is to clear the
memory of his brother from the suicide
charge, and last night he had an inter
view with Mrs. Kate Quinn in which he

TAFT SOUNDS SENATE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-The appear
ance of five members of the senate
judiciary committee at the White House
today gave rise to the belief that Presi-
dent Taft had begun his usual sounding
OF that committee before sending to the
senate the nomination OF a successor to
the late Supreme Court Justice Harlan.
As matters stood today, United States
Circuit Judge Hook Of Kansas seemed t.
be foremost in the presidents mind an
It was understood that he sought to dia
cover II there was any objection to JuuL
Hook in the judiciary committee.
Chief Justice Orrin Carter Of the ILL.,
nois supreme court was urged upon Presi-
dent Taft today by a delegation from the
Chicago Bar association as a candidate
for the existing vacancy in the supreme
court.

this amount and the number of tickets
shown under B. c. and ID represents
the total number of tickets sold at the
public sale of Thursday, viz: 12,G2.
1T is also the contention Of the New
Spectators Successful.
York club that tickets secured by specu-
lators through mail orders and at the
public sale were without doubt very large
in number. They base this contntlon upon
the fact that they received a great many
letters for mail orders which looked
suspicious, declaring however, that such
suspicious letters were thrown into the
discard
They also contend that suspicious in
dividuals were put out OF the line at the
public sale and yet in spite of all care and
precaution the club officials admit that
the spectators obtained worlds series
tickets 1t must be evident that these
tickets could not have been secured by
the spectators in any great numbers
through the mail order system because
II is shown by the New York clubs own
statement that only 4,974 tickets were sent
out through the malls.
Members Of the commission were be-
yond question Justified in the expectation
as individuals that a thorough investiga-
ton would establish collision between
spectators and one or more employees OF
the New York club for these reasons
Two days in advance OF the public
sale of tickets to the Polo grounds every
newspaper of prominence in New York
ran the advertisements OF every well
known ticket scalper OF that city that
choice seats for the worlds series games
would be on sale at his place Of business.
Some Little PeculIarities.
ION the afternoon prior to the opening
game tickets were on sale as advertised
by spectators in such large numbers as
to absolutely preclude the idea that they
were secured through the channel by
which the public was supplied The pub
llcation Of the advertisements referred to
carried with II promises to patrons which
none without exceptional facilities for Sc
curing tickets could redeem.
1T is the contention of the New York
club that mail orders for the series were
deposited in the various substations OF
the postoffice Tuesday evening, october
10, in time for a night distribution in some
districts, and practically a complete dis
trbuton in the city on Wednesday, oc-
tober IL, and that spectators with tick
cts were thus enabled to offer tickets a
day before the public sale opened in the
st. James building, but attention is again
called to the fact that only a limited
number of tickets were sent out through
mail orders, and accepting the New York
clubs statement as being correct that
they are prepared to submit to the com
mission letters and postal cards from
many hundreds Of people who received
their tickets by mail and expressed sat
isfaction at the treatment accorded them,
clearly indicating that not a great number
Of tickets sent out through the mail or
ders could have been secured by the spec
| ulaters.
