TRY woLF oE WAL STREET,


New York, Nov 30.-rhe trial Of
David Lamar, the so-called "Wolf Of
Wall Street which opens here today
on charges of conspiracy n connection
with the steel investigation, prom. .ses
to be sensational. There are three In
dictments, two of which are for imper-
sonating a Congressman.
The alleged conspiracy grew out of
the attempt to get J. P. Morgan and
Company and the United States steel
Corporation to hire Edward Laurer-
bach, lawyer and formerly Influential
in politics, the object being to secure
the calling off of the Investigation of
the Steel corporation several years
ago. Lauterbach is also indicted, and
is held for trial.
Lamar was arrested a few weeks
ago at the Waldorf. He was taken
before Judge Rudkin and held in $50
900. The indictment alleges that on
Feb 4, 1918, Lamar telephoned to
Lewis Cass Ledyard and represented
himself as Congressman 3. Mitchell
Palmer Of Pennsylvania who recently
ran against Penrose for the Senate.
The story was told before the investi-
eating committee in Washington a
year ago last summer. Lamar urged
-4edyard to have Lauterbaeh retained.
5e said that Lauterbach was in touch
With congressman and that there was
lo real desire to have the steel cor
'oration investigated. Lamar's case
S now pending in the United States
court and he believed he
ould visit New York without arrest.

Dread Of Approaching
Exposure DroUe Girl
To Want Mother Slain
Relatives of Julia Flake, Is. Give
Alleged REASON for Her Conspiracy
With SGeDfafher.

Galesburg. Ill, Jan. 2O-New light
on the part alleged TO have been
played by Is year old Julia Flake in
the killing of her mother was thrown
on the case today by relatives of the
girl, who charged Robert Higgins. her
stepfather. with grave offence
against her.
According to these relatives. the girl
was driven frantic by the lapse Of
time which brought no solution to her
crushing problem and pointed in
evitably to the day when the public
must Of necessity know of her plight.
Higgins, likewise, was desperate. for
acCOuchement In the confessions at
tributed to them Julia and Higgins ad
mitted the intimacy of their relations
since last May.
To the desperation Of her sitUa-
ton the relatives attribute the appar-
emily CallOus appeal for the murder OF
her mother, which appears in two
letters said to have been written by
the girl
Higgens's arrest and confession followed
statements Of the girl TO states attorney
John NJ Williams. Of Mercer county. Of her
infatuation for Higgins She said she urged
the only obstacle between her and happi-
ness.
The prosecutor hesitated to believe the
girls story Of the extraordinary pact she
entered into with her stepfather. But she
told how they had schemed for hours de-
vising plan which would make Mrs Hig-
Eens's death appear accidental She said
she was in the next room when Higgins
fired the shotgun which brought instant
death to her mother. She told how Hig-
gems raved and struggled with nefghbors
for possession Of the gun, saying that he
would end his own life
Then when the excitement subsidized some
what, she said. they explained that Higgins
had been cleaning the gun and IL had
been accidentally discharged. Their story
was so convincing that the CorOner's jury
returned a verdict of accidental death. No
one Of the 500 residents Of the village sus-
pected anything regarding Mrs. Higgens's
death and they cOmforted the widower and
his apparently grief stricken stepdaughter.
Then c. W Ernest, a maternal uncle OF
