Brunswick, Ca, Feb. THE gov
ernment money trust inquisitors came
to Brunswick today to wrest from
aged William Rockefeller's lips the
secrets of his financial career as the
active agent Of the so-called Standard
Oil group of bankers.
Representative Arsene H. PuJo,
chairman Of the house money trust
committee. and samuel Untermyer, the
committees lawyer, with retinue OF
clerks came with the direct authority
Of the investigating committee to hear
the 72-year old witness in his refuge,
Jekyl Island.
Three incidents in the financial ca
reer Of Mr.. Rockefeller were the OBJ
ject of the long chase that ened IN
today's visit. Mr.. Untermyer wanted
to get into the record the history OF
the so-called "frenzied finance" Or
ganizaton Of the Amalgamated COP
per company in 1901 and the romance
OF the transactions in Amalgamated
stock in 1906 and 1907 when the Sc
curities, after a dizzy climb to about
120 points, dropped to AZ.
William Rockefeller, with the late
II. II. Rogers, Marcus DAILY, Thomas
Lawson and others, organized the
Amalgamated Copper, according tc
testimony already before the commit
tee, acquiring the stock Of Boston aat
Montana, Butte and Boston and Other
copper producing companies which
were later sold to the new concern
at 4 big increase in price, Mr. Unter
myer wanted the details Of this dea
from the Standard Oil magnate him
self.
Other testimony before the commit
tee showed that in 1907 the Unitet
Metals Selling company, controlled %
Mr. Rockefeller and Mr.. Rogers, which
handled for the producers about g.
per cent Of the country's copper pro
duetion, held back the bulk Of th'
product from sale, maintaining tn
price Of the metal at rs cents
pound. Meantime on the stock OK

active at high prices. IN October thi
metal was released, the price dropped
to 13 cents and Amalgamated stock

TOO MUCH DR.. WATSON"
JUROR EXPLAINS THE WEAK
NEssEs IN THE CASE PRE-
sENTED BY PROSECUTOR.

Aiken, S. G.. Feb 7.-F. o Beach
was acquitted this afternoon in the
Aiken county court of the charge Of
assaulting his wife. The jurg was
out exactly one hour and 45 minutes.
Beach was not in the court rooin
when the verdict was read, having
gone to lunch during the recess, tut
he arrived a few minutes later and
went to the jury box and shock hands
with members of the jury.
There was absolutely nothing 10
the case the foreman told Beach.
There was too much Watson and
not enough sherlock.
Mrs. Beach did not return to the
court room. The foreman explained
that the delay in reaching verdict
was due to the fact that one or TWO
jurors wanted to discuss ever sthing.

There was not a demonstration Of
any kind when the verdict was rem

che ceeHiAg of today assE
Of the Beach trial. Congressman
Byrnes addressed the jury for the de-
tense. He contened that the pross
eution had faded to produce any eri-
dence to connect Beach with the as
sault As he spoke Mrs. Beach ap-
peared weary for the first time during
the trial Resting her chin upon
g!cVed hard, she atzed at the lavrer
through tired eyes.
Mr.. Byrnes spoke for half an hour
and then yielded the remainder of his
time to Juge w. Q. Davis, Of the
defence's counsel Colonel D. S. Hen
derson closed for the defense
What motive did Beach have for
cutting his wife?" asked Colonel Hen
derson, addressing the jury. Not
only has the prosecution failed to
prove that Beach committed the as
sault, but it was unable to show any
reason for his doing it He did not
do it and the one who was assaulted
has told you that he did not do it.
Would you convict a yellow dog of
anything on the evidence that has
been offered against Beach here?"
Colonel Henderson concluded short
ly before noon and after a short re-
cess Prosecutor Gunter began bis
closing argument.
The prosecutor attacked the story
told by Mrs. Beach, terming it
"mere fabrication, no more ana no
less" He said 1t was absurd for her
to claim that the alleged negro as
sailant had forced her to the ground
with his hands and afterwards hit
her in the head with a stick that she
said he was carrying when he en-
tered the yard.
Mrs. Beach never told how she
got around the corner Of the house
where her earrings and combs were
found,s declared the solicitor. "she
claims to have been forced to her
knees on the front walk. Then again
Mrs. Beach says sne did not scream
until the negro had cut her Don't
you know that she screamed and
kept on screaming the minute her
assailant whoever it was, touched
herg All that story was made up by
Beach and afterwards corroborated
