CONTEMPT CASE
Gets Writ of Habeas
Corpus as Soon as House
Warrant Is Served.

II. Snowden Marshall, United States
District Attorney, was yesterday served
with a contempt warrant by Robert d.
Gordon, sergeant-at-arms Of the House
OF Representatives. Mr.. Marshall Mt
once obtained writ of habeas corpus,
preventing his immediate removal un-
der arrest to Washington.
Mr.. Marshall swore out the writ
while the warrant was being read to

Judge Henry NJ. Goldfogle, a former
member Of the House, appeared for the
sergeant-at-arms at the hearing on the
writ before Judge Hand. Mr.. Gold
fogle said he had not had time 70 study
it and asked that argument be post
poned. With the acquiescence of Mr
Marshall, the request was granted and
the time for argument fixed as 1880
Friday morning, with the privilege OF
further postponement omen 10 either
side. Ex-United States Senator John
c. Spooner will represent Mr. Marshall.
"You had better advise the House TO

lawyer" said Mr.. Marshall to the SER
geant-at-arms. 81 believe they will be

The writ obtained by the District At

being violated, and declares that he
was not guilty of contempt in critics
ing a House subcommittee investigAt-
ing impeachment charges against him
by Representative Buchanan.
"The House of Representatives Is
without lawful authority 10 punish as

M0lasses, Not Poison,
in Will Orpet'S Bottle
Says He Gave Marion Lambert Harmless Mixture and That
She Took Cyanide Herself He
Turned to Co.

woods where she was found dead OF
poison.
He admitted that he had brought a
bottle from Madison TO his meeting
with Marion in the woods and had trie1
to persuade her 70 drink of its con-
tents.
The bottle has been one OF the mys-
teries of the case. Soon after Orpets
arrest il was learned he had purchased
a bottle from Charles Hassinger, a
drug clerk in Madison. IL was sup
posed to be a two-ounce bottle.
According to the theory Of the state,
Orpet had filled IL with potassium
cyanide obtained from the greenhouse
on the Cyrus II. Mccormick estate. OF
which his father Is superintendent. No
bottle was found beside Marion's body.
Search for the lost poison vial was
vide and persistent. II was thought
for long time States Attorney Dady
had found il. but when the state rested
its case no bottle had been produced.
Now the ghost bottle bobbed up in the
possession of the defence.
No Poison in Bottle.
This bottle OF evil repute, said
Orpet, contained a mixture OF water
and mclasses. He testified he had
given Miss Lambert this mixture be-
cause she was worried about her con
dition. He said ne thought it would
ease her mind.
lie said she took the poison from q
bottle when he turned to leave her.
Orpet will resume his recital to-
morrow.

Not once by livelier tone. an I'M

CHESS, NOT LOVE,
OSBORNE'S HOBBY
While Gay Oliver Wooed
Rae, James w. Pondered
the Queens Gambit.

Chess playing, not lovemaking. was
the chief interest Of James ". Osborne
on the days Rae Tanner swesrs she
met her "Oliver Osborne" and was so
ardently wooed that she lost her sppe-
tite and ali other desire for anything
but his company.
Witnesses who appeared in Federal
Judge Wolverton's court, where Miss
Tanner is being tried on a charge Of
perjury, so testified yesterday. The
evidence was offered in the nature OF
an alibi for the lawyer Miss Tanner has
repeatedly sworn was her sweetheart
and promised husband.
John Krsus, steward OF the Manhat-
tan Chess Club, was called TO prove the
alibi. Krsus pictured Osborne in
different light than that in which Miss
Tanner had made him appear before
the jury. He told how Mr. Osborne
had spent his winter evenings ponder
ing over the problems of chess, often
playing with II. Snowden Marshall,
United States District Attorney.
Miss Tanzer's previous testimony
again was contradicted in many par
ticulars when Mrs. Harold Spiclberg,
wife of the lawyer the girl declares be-
trayed her confidence. took the witness
stand for the prosecution. Mrs. Spiel
berg told how Miss Tanner, whom she
had befriended while she was in trouble
over the mysterious Oliver, had unex-
pectedly confessed that James W. Os-
borne was not the man.
Rae told me that she was In Com
missioner Houghton's Office when she
saw James W. Osborne" said Mrs.
Spielberg "She said he looked so pale
and worn that she was thunderstruck
and scared. He is not the man. she
said. II was all very surprising 70 me.
In fact, ! tried TO convince her that
Osborne was the man, for | thought
she was only frightened.
"She told me she was puzzled that
Frank Stafford. the Plainheld hotel
clerk. should be so certain that James
W Osborne and Oliver W. Osborne
were one and the same person"
Mrs. Spielberg said Miss Tanner had
not been persuaded to make her recan-
tation; that she was asked II she would
care to write the facts down in her
own way. and that her confession OF
error in identification was the result.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
SPREADS IN BROOKLYN
Thirty-tWo New Cases There;
None In Manhattan.

Thirty-two new cases Of infantils
paralysis were reported yesterday from
brooklyn's epidemic area. This makes
l46 cases, most Of which are confined
10 tho old South Brooklyn section. No
deaths from the disease were reported
TO the Health Department yesterday,
and no new cases were reported from
Manhattan.
Health Department officials admit
the outbreak in Brooklyn is regarded
seriously The chief concern now is to
keep it from reaching the extent of the
epidemic in 1907, when $500 cases were
reported in a period Of three months.
The failure Of certain physicians TO
report the first few cases two weeks
ago is largely responsible for the un-
usually sudden spread of the disease,
officials say.
Infantile paralysis, by the reguls-
tions Of the Health Department, is
made a reportable disease, whether it
occurs in scattered or in epidemic
form. Reports are expected in a few
DAYS from the departments sanitary
bureau experts, who are at work clean
ing up stables. Because stable flies are
known carriers of the disease germ a
special campaign is being waged
against them.

Edward " Grout, former Controller
Of New York City, although convicted
Of felony, argued before three judges
Of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn yes
terday to set aside his conviction for
perjury He severely arraigned former
District Attorney James c. Cropsey for
laying undue emphasis on purely tech
nical irregularities in his report made
as president of the Union Bank, now
defunct His conviction was based on
that report, made In 1910, shortly be-
fore the bank failed.
Mr.. Grout ridiculed the prosecutions
theory that money was his motive in
committing perjury. He asked; Can
your honors imagine this defendant,
with stock holdings in the bank worth
$4,000, which represented one-tenth of
his assets at that time, corruptly and
deliberately classifying and swearing
falsely over and over again as to this
banks condition."
Acting District Attorney Egginton
urged that the conviction be sustained.
Decision was reserved.
Mr.. Grout said his attorney, Stephen
c. Baldwin, was detained on another
case, making it necessary for him to
argue his own case.
