FRANKLIN
STORY BIG
CANARD

year ago hurry Franklin of Chi
cago, paymaster for the Goshen Shirt
company of Hammond, claimed that
he had been held up on the Monon
tracks and ogden street by two bold
thugs and robbed of package of
money containing SLIPS in currency.
Chief of Police Peter Austgen who d.
rected the Investigation of Franklin,s
conduct and record from the Hammond
end of the case, has been working on
clews since the alleged holdup occur
red on January Is. 1913, and yesterday
was rewarded in his efforts.
During the past two weeks Chief of
Police Austgen, together with julius
J. Cohen of the Goshen Shirt Company
credit department of Chicago. have re-
ceived some valuable clews and to
them most of the credit of solving the
battling case is due. Since the alleged
robbery the afternoon of January
Is, it has been learned that sixteen
days after leaving the employment of
the Goshen Shirt Company, Franklin
purchased some railroad bonds and
placed them in a safety deposit vault
in Chicago. Several months following
Franklin purchased a i've and ten-cent
store in Chicago.
On the evening Of the alleged holdup
THE TIMES gave a fu1I account of the
case and the details of the story as
told by Franklin at the Central police
station. Franklin had come out from
shicago on the IL p. m. Nickel Plate
train with a package containing s1,125
to be used in paying off the employees
of the Hammond plant. Instead of
walking down Holman street, as he
| was accustomed, Franklin walked down
the railroad tracks and claimed that
two men bounced upon him at Ogden
street and beat him into unconscious
ness.
Franklin appeared at the Central
station with black eye and in an I'M
| concerned manner told his story. One
of the important clews that Chief Aust
gen took up was the fact that a num-
/ Der of section men were working near
/ the scene of the supposed holdup but
saw nothing of Frenklin or the thugs.
| According to Chief Austgen by a let
! ter received this morning. the Goshen
| Shirt Company have obtained half of
the loss through Franklin's attorney.

Lawrence, Mass. June "A passen
ger train on the Southern division OF
the Boston & Maine Railroad, bount
north from Boston, ran into shut.
tie train which operates between the
North and South stations in that city
today. Several passengers were in
jured.
OF the number three were so seri-
ously injured that it was secessary to
remove them to hospital. The 9TH
ers were treated by physicians who
had been called to the station and
they later went to their homes.
The accident occurred at the South
station, into which the shuttle train
composed of a. locomotive, combina :
ton smoker and baggage car and a
day coach. was backing. The Boston
train should have been stopped in the
station but over ran and the engine
ploughed half way through the pas
senger coach at the rear of the shut

| Portland, Me, June 3.-The center

gathered in Old Eastern cemetery

and British officers who died in the
naval battle off Portland, Sept. 10

former, both commanders had nailed
their flags to the mast determined not

Sir Cecil had noticed that a part
of the lettering on one of the memo

asked that the inscription be restored
at his expense. He commented upon
the flags and flowers that had been
placed on the graves of the naval
heroes on Memorial day and said that
a beautiful tribute had been paid to
the brave men.
During the day the ambassador
visited the water front and talked
with persons whom he found engaged
in work that interested him. He is
here awaiting the arrival from

Boston, June 3.-The guilt or in
noeenee of William. NJ Wood, presi-
dent of the American Wooden Co,
charged With conspiracy to PLANT"
dynamite on the premises of Tex
tile strikers at Lawrence. must be de-
ternlined by the jury and that with,
out any direct evidence having bee.:
introduced by the defence. Judge John
{. Crosby, presiding at the trial of
Wood, Frederick +. Atteaux and Den
mis- j. Collins, late today, oVerraled a
motion of Henry f. Hurlburt. coun-
sci for the mill man, that the jury
be instructed to return q verdict for
his client. Before arguing his mo-
ton Mr.. Huriburt announced thai
he took the responsibility of resting
his case without presenting any evi-
dcnce. In denying the motion. the
court said that SO far as Wood was
concerned, the questions to be con
sidercd were: First, does the evidence
Show conspiracy to have existed
and secondly, was the defendant
Wood a party to such conspiracy.
"JCrles," said Judge Crosby, can
as are fair. It seems to ME that it
is of Importance to show the relations
business and Observation-Disclosures
Mr. AtteaGx and Mr.. " God, as we'll
as the relations between othof COS
conspira tors.
1t is necessary for the common
wealth to show something more than.
passive knowledge or acquiescenee in
the conspiracy, but it Is not neces-
sary to prove that the consprators,
actually met together, though this
might be infe red from the evidence
/ have not been sitting here fnr rlrf
of these weeks without having soma
impFe ssions. Some of the evidence Of
fored here tends to show that the de
PENDANT Wood vas interested as the
head of great corpora ton.
The Judge went on to say that there
was evidence that John j. Breen, the
Lawrence undertaken, who was con
Victpd and fined for placing the eX-
pIosivc, and Ernest w. Pitman, the
Andovcr building contractor who COM
mitted suicide. when the investigation
OF the alleged plot was begun, and
who. according TO testimony, furnish
ed the dynamite, were partners in
cons piracy to place the explosive.
There is evidence he said, that
might influence the jury to convict At
teaux. There is evidence of intimacy
between AtteauX and Wood. There is
evidence that Atteaux and Wood were
together at Wond's AndnVer home, the
night before the discovery of the dyna-
mite, when both were attending a CON
ference of mill men to discuss the sit
uation and to consider the text of
letter published over Woods sigma
ture in which the strikers were ad-
vised to return to their machines.
"'There is evidence that the evening
before the dynamite was found, a pas
soneer-resembling the defendant At
teaux, but not identified-toolS a taxi
cab in front of Woods house and went
to Franklin and Washington streets
There is evidence that Breen saw At
teaux and received from him $500
There is evidence that might warrant
the inference that half an hour before
Breen and Atteaux met, Atteaux was
at Woods house
