ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 25.-Gov. Sui
ger was free to use the $2 800 check
given him by Jacob II. Schiff, a New
York banker, in any way he chose.
The banker so declared yesterday on
the witness stand at the impeach hment
trial Of the governor
The designation of the check
across its back as a contribution to
the governors S campaign fund did
not restrict its use to that purpose,
Mr. Schin said
Henry AIorgenthau, ambassador to
Turkey, formerly chairman of the
finance committee Of the national
Democratic committee testified that
when he gave the governor a check for
+ 600 personal contribution ~
he had placed no limitations on its
use. He said, however that he had
made the gife to help the governor in
his campaign and had been foolishly
generous
These are two of the alleged cam
paign contributions which the arti-
clcs Of impeachment against the
governor charge that he stole.
II possibly cannot make any diff
ference in this case, but If was
sitting in criminal prosecution, said
Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen, president OF
the court, - should have to charge
the petit jury that, if the owner con.
sented 10 the use in any manner OF
the money or check given, by the par
ty TO whom il was delivered, such use
would not constitute larceny.

CAUSE
REIGN OF TERROR
Lions, Wolves and Hyenas Escape from
Circus and Kill 200 Cattle
and 400 Sheep

BERLIN, Sept. %. = Terror reigns
among the population of Styria, Aus
tria, arising from the depredations of
a honess and her cubs and number
OF wolves and hyenas which recently
escaped from a menagerie, according
to dispatches reaching here from
Gratz. The wild beasts have establish
ed their lair in an inaccessible noun
tain country and have seized and de-
Voured 200 cattle and 400 sheep. The
inhabitants will not allow their chill
dren to 90 to school in the remote dis
trlcts, in one of which a country po-
liceman has been missing for some
time and is believed to have been
killed. 1t is feared the beasts of prey,
after the herds have been taken from
the mountain pastures in autumn, will
invade the inhabited districts in search
of food.

'
SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Sept. p.
Albert BrodeUr the alleged SLAYER of
Mrs. Matilda Case who was murdered
at her home, 53 Wilcox street. Satur-
day night, was still at large yesterday.
The police have been working continu-
ously on the case since early Sunday
morning, but have failed to locate him.
1t IS generally believed that he Is still
in this vicinity and that circumstances
will soon force him to make some eff
tort to escape to parts where he is not
known
While the police do not question the
identity Of the slayer, they recognize
that they must find some definite mo
tive for the crime in addition to the
evidence which they already have. So
far the only person who can give any
direct evidence as to the presence of
the accused man at the Case home on
the night the crime was committed is
Louis Scarnicy, who occupies the lower
apartment of the house. He claims that
he saw Brodeur leave the house direct
" after the shooting had taken place.
All the other evidence regarding his
relations with Mrs Case has been Sc
cured from people who had known both
the murdered woman and the accused
and who also knew that Brodeur had
threatened to kill Mrs. Case pho

day and it is believed that it will be
