VERDICT EXPECTED TODAY
IN G0ULD-HEINZE SUIT
Lawyers Sum UP in Litigation Over
$1,2oo,ooo Sale of Stock.

NEW YORK, Oct IA verdict in the
Gould-Heinze litigation is expected today.
Neither side has called Charles w.
Morse to testify, although his name was
used freely in the evidence.
Edwin Gould sued F. Augustus Heinze
for $l,2OO,OOO on note, alleging this sum
was due as part payment for 5000 shares
of Mercantile National Bank stock
Heinze says he was duped In buying the
stock through representations of CbarIes
w. Morse, an alleged agent for Gould.
In summing up for Mr. Heinze. ex-
State Senator Bhackett said:
Il am willing to admit that Mr.. GouId
has pew on the centre aisle Of his
church and that every Sunday he NAV
be seen pussy-footing 1t up to the chanceI
rail with well-flled collection Mate
II am willing to imagine that he would
put an extra $40 bill in the plate next
Sunday If he could only win this miJIion
from Heinze. Yet. as l have Observed
the two men on the stand I fail To sec
any reason why Gould should be anv
more Mt to become president of a bank
than Helnze. 'N
IF you buy horse that is represented
TO De sound and gentle and 1t turns out
that the horse has the heaves. Won car
return the horse and get back vonr
money. 'N-
"Heinze bought this stock and found
1t had the heaves. He not only should
not be compelled to pay the remainder
of the money. but he ought to get back
the cash he did pay"
Alton B. Parker, for Gould, said Heinze
never bought the stock for Investment,
but only for speculation to get control
OF the bank to use 1t for his own pur-
poses

BOMB NEAR CHURCH
FOLLOWS OUTRAGE
IN N. Y. CATHEDRAL
Dynamite Explosion in Front
of St. Alphonsus Rectory
Breaks Many Windows.
Maniac Is Sought.

NEW YORK, Oct IA dynamite bomb
of the BLACK Hand type was exploded
early today in front of the rectory ad-
joining the Catholic Church of st. AL
phonsus in West Broadway, near Canal
street. Six hours before another bomb
was exploded in the nave of St Pat
rick's Cathedral, 5th avenue and 5Oth
street.
The bombs went off with such terrific
force that nearly every window in the St
Alphonsus rectory and in adjoining build
ings was shattered.
Neither bomb caused much damage to
persons or property. Brother Patrick and
Father Friedand, who were asleep in the
rectory, were slightly injured by flying
glass.
John Rogers. a hotel bellboy OF Phila-
delphia who was in the city looking for
a job. was kneeling in pew In the
Cathedral and was struck by a piece Of
iron hurled by the bomb. The skin on
his forehead was slightly cut.
A man, who described himself as Olaf
Olsen, was arrested last night in front
of the entrance to the Catholic Church
of the Holy Trinity, in West SD street
between Broadway and Amsterdam ave-
nue., because ne nad snouteu NlOlenl ue-
nunciations of the Catholic faith and re-
ligion in general. He was locked in
cell after he had been unable to pay
fine OF $40.
The police believe both bombs were
placed by the same person. supposedly
an anti-clerical maniac. On March 4
last. Frank Tannenbaum. the l. w. w.
leader, led his little army of unemployed
into the Church OF st. Alphonsus. AS a
result of the raid that followed 1s9 men
and one woman were arrested. Tannen-
baum was sentenced to serve one year
on Blackwell's Island.

POISON FATAL TO WOMAN
Heroic Surgical Treatment Fails to
Save Patient.

NEW YORK, oct. H-Failing to re-
spond to heroic treatment, Miss Nina
Ennis, the young trained nurse Of ottawa,
Canada. who took 30 grains of bichloride
of mercury tablets last Sunday night at
the Grand Central Station, died from the
effects Of the poison. Her death came ten
hours after DR.. George r, Critchlow, OF
Buffalo, a specialist Of the Homeopathic
Medical Society of New York State. had
performed an unusual operation on her
in the presence of other members Of the
society.
It was thought for a time that the
operation might be successful in warding
off the deadly effects of the poison. The
operation is known as decapsutation. Its
purpose was to relieve the tension on the
kidneys caused by the poison, which
affects them more than the stomach or
other vital parts The capsule was strip
ned off each kidney and a hot saline solu-
ton used.
Miss Ennis recovered from the shock of
tie operation, and when she left the oper-
ating table her condition was considered
encoura ging, although no false hopes
were held out for her recovery.

Manufacturing Chemists Here Would
Furnish Lockjaw Antitoxin.

Activities In French and English army
circles by agents of the Fl. K. Mulford
Company, manufacturing chemists, of 426
South 18th street, may result in an order
for 5000 packages of lockjaw antitoxin
for the Allied troops who must fight in

wounded men in the trenches frequently
fall prey to tetanus and it is planned to
inoculate each soldier with certain num-
ber of units.
Officials of the Mulford Company were
