LONG Jury WRANGLE
OVER FATE OF WOOD
Panel Retires at 1880 Noon
and at Midnight Judge
Crosby Goes Home. y
BRIBERY OFFER ALLEGED
Man Approached Says His
Judgment Will Not Be Al
fected and Continues
to Serve.

Boston. June 6.-The jury in the
dynamite planting case was still de-
! liberating at "A late hour tonight
whether William NJ. Wood. president Of
the American Wooden Company; Fred
! erick f.. Atteaux. a dye manufacturer,
and Dennis ]. Collins. a Cambridge dog
fancier, conspired, as charged, TO dis
credit the Lawrence strikers.
When the jurors took a recess for
luncheon there was no indication that
an early agreement might be expected.
They had been closeted. at that time,
for five hours. during which they had
asked for no instructions.
At midnight Judge Crosby sent word
that he would not receive a verdict un
Ill q o'clock tomorrow. He directed
that should the jury arrive at YER
dict in the mean time it must be
sealed.
Just before court opened to-day one
Of the Jurors. Morris Shuman. told
Judge John &. Crosby that he had been
approached last night with an offer Of
5000 and a life job if he would agree 10
preached him would not. it is under
stood say for whom he was acting.
From the District Attorneys Office IL
was learned that Shuman thought he
could identify the man. The Suffolk
County Grand Jury will consider the
matter tomorrow.
After conference with Judge Gross
by, District Attorney Pelletier AMI
counsel for the defence. during which
the opening OF court was delayed an
hour and one half. Shuman expressed
the opinion that he could reach de-
cision on the evidence without being
influenced by the alleged offer. Ac-
cordinSly he entered the box with his
eleven fellows.
The charge Of Judge Crosby was the
! only court proceeding in the case to-
day. Judge Crosby instructed the
| jurors to return a verdict Of not guilty
| on the sixth count Of the indictments
verdicts on each of the five other
counts. The counts. although refer
ring to the dynamite planting" in gen.
eral. differ in detail.
The jury was sent out at 1880 noon.
The sixth count, which it was directed
to disregard. charges conspiracy to
damage certain buildings and property
in Lawrence.
Chief interest centred about the YER
dict in the case of Wood and Atteaux.
Collins has already confessed on the
stand to his activities with John j..
Breen. the former Lawrence under
taker and school committeeman, in
placing dynamite in the homes OF the
strikers.
However. in charging the jury the
court said that If the jury believed Col
Inns had helped Breen i'm planting" the
dynamite in ignorance of the nature OF
the material he was handling Collins
should be acquitted
The evidence of one conspirator. the
court also said. was not competent
against another conspirator after the
object Of the illegal agreement had
been accomplished. Passive acquies-
cence OF silent knowledge OF con-
spiracy was insufficient TO convict. The

Outqrowth Of Astor Dinner.

The West Side Business Mems Asso-
citation is an outgrowth of the dinner
that was given to the District Attorney
at the Hotel Astor on May ~ by
group of business men Of the section,
regardless Of political affiliation. Will
lam B. Ellison, former Corporation
Counsel, was POSTMASTER at that
dinner. But that was before the candi-
dacy Of John Purroy Mitchell. AS Mr..
Ellison is an old friend Of Mr.. Mitchell
he has not gone into the present move
ment for Mr.. Whitman. Most Of the
others who were interested in that
dinner have banded together to make
the District Attorney Mayor.
At the meeting last night the organi-
cation was perfected by the election OF
the following officers: A. f. Stilger,
Republican, president Of the Chelsea
Exchange Bank. president; DIR. George
]. Mehler. Democrat physician; Frank
Williams, Republican, president of the
American Hay Company; Lawrence
Enrich, Democrat, manufacturers
agent; Edward Carpenter, Democrat,
builder; Perley Morse, Republican.

Blake, Republican. Port Warden;
Charles II. Darmstadt, Republican,
plumbing contractor; John Mulcahy.
Progressive, produce merchant. and
Joseph F. Murphy, Democrat, lumber
e-presidents; Thomas j. Buckley.
Democrat, builder. secretary; Joseph F.
Fiest, Republican. real estate, financial
secretary; L. a. Arnold. Democrat real
estate, treasurer.
The association will at once begin
circulating petitions approving the
movement and pledging support TO Mr..
Whitman. AS there may be some
changes in the election law at the COM
ing special session OF the Legislature.
no attempt will be made to get formal
nominating petitions until after that
time. 1t was confidently asserted last
night that 10000 signatures would be
obtained by July TO the informal petit
tons.
About that time the mass meeting in
Carnegie Hall will be held to publicly
place the District Attorney in nomina-
ton. There will be notaries public on
hand and the work of getting the for
NAL nominating petitions in accordance
with The law as it may be at that time
will be started then and there. The
following committee was named to ar
range for the meeting and TO call upon
the District Attorney: Captain Michael
A. Burns, Lawrence Enrich, Perley
Morse. John =. Windolph, Frank Will
Jams and Thomas f. Devine. The lat
ter is Progressive, and ran for the
Senate against Senator Boylan, Demo-
crat, last fall.

BIPARTISAN MOVEMENT
Petitions To Be Circulated at
Once, but None Will Be
Filed Till Legislature
Has Acted on Elec-
tion Law.

Another movement 10 bring about
the nomination of District Attorney
Whitman for Mayor was started last
night, when the West side Business
Mems Association. a non partisan or
ganization. meeting at the Hotel Astor,
adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, The trend of events in the
City Of New York during the last year
requires as the chief executive of our
city an honest, capable. efficient and
courageous official and man of ability
and experience; and
Whereas, The excellent work per-
formed by the Hon. Charles 8. Whit
man as District Attorney Of New York
County commends him to the favorable
consideration and hearty support Of his
fellow citizens; therefore be il
Resolved, That we, the members Of
the West Side Business Mems Associa-
ton, in meeting assembled. do hereby
pledge our support to use our utmost
endeavors 10 secure his nomination and
election as Mayor of the City Of New
York"
a committee was appointed 10 ar
range mass meeting in Carnegie Hall
in the interest Of Mr.. Whitman's can
didacy, and to notify the District At
torney OF the action that has been
taken. He will undoubtedly say 10
them. as he did to the committee from
the Citizens Democracy on Thursday,
that he will take a nomination from
any properly constituted organization.
But he will make clear 10 them. rs he
did yesterday TO friends who sought
him, that he did not mean he would
accept a nomination from Tammany
Hall He had supposed il would be
clear to the public that he could not
accept any nomination from Tammany.
When friends told him his statement
had not been specific enough, he de-
clared emphatically that Tammany
was not included in the meaning Of his
announcement.

Many Recommendations Made.

The committee recommends that trans
fcrs TO and from the detective bureau
should be made only when the Commits
sioner records the reasons for such trans
fers. that men should be transferred 10
the detective bureau only for the display
OF promise Of detective skill, and not
for personal bravery or because OF favor
itism: that the homicide. Italian and pick
pocket squads abolished by Commission
crs Baker and waldo should be re-estab-
lished. that the identification bureau
should get the photographs and measure
ments Of every person held for the grand
Jury by "A magistrate or indicted by the
grand jury. that the Lineup should be
re-establlshed; that efficiency records of
detectives should be kept. and no detec-
tive permitted TO close a homicide in
quiry without the approval Of some super
vising official.
In the second report made public by
the committee Yesterday the evidence
collected by it's investigators as TO the
working methods Of the surgical bureau
OF the Police Department is reviewed. ana
the recommendations embodied I'm the pre-
lmlndry report on llc same matter III
corporated into the final report.
Chief among these Is the point that
police surgeons should be required TO give
all their time 10 their department duties
and prohibited from engaging in private
practice Surgeons should be required to
live in their districts; they should make a
monthly sanitary examination of all sta
ton houses. and they should be required
to make physical examination period
ically Of policemen retired for disability
TO ascertain whether such retired men
ought 10 be called upon to resume service.
Brief comment as 10 the makeup OF
each is made in the report Of the traitic
and bridge squads. but no recommended
tions or criticisms are to be found in
these sections. The tenement house
SQUAD, the Health Department squad and
the boiler squad should be abolished. the
alderman say, and the Central Office
squad. now scattered all over the city,
should be centralized to a certain de-
gree.
