of the decisive moment he showed nervous

Captain von Essen of Tort Arthur fame

Is due to the relative strength of the fleets.

reach Vladivostok without fighting a de

he believed, to meet Russia in open battle.
It Is undeniable that many thoughtful lib

EXPLOSION CAUSES TROUBLE
Mysterious Affair in Ktvr Jersey is
fiim Investigated by Rail,
road Company. -
NEW TORK. May f7. A mysterious ex
plosion of. dynamite which blew out the
windows of a pile driver near th new
Pennsylvania railroad bridge over the
Hackenaack river in Jersey rtty early to
day was at first reported to the police as
having destroyed the bridge, but it was
learned later to have done no damage to
the structure. Two watchmen and three
Pennsylvania railroad detectives who were
on guard saw the flash of the explosion,
but could neither find any suspicious per
son in the vicinity nor discover what had
exploded nor how it reached the bridge.
The explosion caused the circulation of
rumors that the railroad company had
refused to allow a certain class of workmen
to b employed on the bridge and thereupon
anonymous, threats were made to blow up
the bridge and the lives of some of the
railroad officials. All knowledge of such
letters Was denied at the offices of the
Pennsylvania. The railroad officials denied
that there had been labor troubles of any
kind in the building of the bridge. That
the explosion was the result of a plot by
disgruntled workmen was pronounced ab
surd. It is believed that a powerful ex
plosive floated down the river on the tide,
whether by design of some malicious per
son or by accident Is unknown. A rigid
investigation was In progress today.

SIGNAL VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE
Ora-anUatlon Will Probably Continue
Opposition to Executive Injunc
tion Can Comes Vp
Wednesday.
PHILADELPHIA. May 27.-After a con
test lasting five days the republican "or
ganisation," led by Insurance Commis
sioner Israel W. Durham, was forced to
day by public opposition and clamor to
abandon its efforts to extend the lease
of the city gas works to the t'nlted Oas
Improvement company for five years.
Thomas Dolan, president of the company,
today forwarded a formal letter to the
presidents of the select and common
branches of the city council, withdrawing
his proposition to advance the city $25,WO,Ofln
in consideration of the extension of the
lease, which the company now holds. This
action was taken after -a protracted con
ference with Commissioner Durham, States
Attorney McNIchol, and Select Councilman
Charles Seger, who presented the gas lease
resolutions in councils.
Injunction Case Comes Vp,
The withdrawal or the ITnltoA rt im
provement company's ofrer is undoubtedly
a signal victory for Mayor Weaver In his
fight with the "organisation." though If
docs not mean the end of the battle. The
Injunction proceedings brought by David
bmytne, rormer director of public safety,
and Peter E. Costello. former director nt
public works, against Mayor Weaver and
ineir successors. Colonel Sheldon Potter
and A. Lincoln Acker to restrain the
mayor's appointees from conducting the
affairs of the two departments, Is still to
come up for argument, and the leaders
will make a determined effort to have the
temporary Injunction made permanent. The
temporary injunction issued by the com
mon pleas court was rendered Inoperative
by a writ of supercedeas, procured by the
mayor's counsel from the supreme court.
Chief Justice Mitchell of the higher court,
has, however, sent the case back to the
lower court for argument, and the super
cedeas is in effect only until the question
of the Injunction has been decided by that
tribunal.
In answer to questions. Mr. Durham,
leader of the "organisation," said: "We
have no statements whatever to make in
regard to the withdrawal of the new gas
lease by the United Gas Improvement
company."
The leaders left for Atlantic City, N. J
tonight, and a conference will be held there
to consider plans for future moves.
Mayor Wearer Talks.
Mayor Weaver said: "I consider this a
great triumph for the people. I have not
yet considered how this will affect local or
stats politics. I may add that I have not
yet considered whether the fight will be
continued or not."
It was announced during the day by the
Judges of the common pleas court that the
hearing of the injunction proceedings
against the mayor and Directors Potter
and Ackers would be postponed from Mon
day until Wednesday on account of the
death of Justice Dean of the state supreme
court.
General satisfaction was expressed
throughout ths city when It became known
that the gas lease offer had been with
drawn. Mass meetings which had been ar
ranged in many wards to protest against
the lease were largely attended and the
mayor s victory was the subject of all the
address.

between the two peoples.

DEFENSE TARING ITS TURN
State Beits Earlier Thai Expected ia the
Dennison Case.
TWO OF ITS WITNESSES DISAPPOINTING
Denniaon Pali en Tot Witnesses
aad Introduces Affidavits to
Controvert Shercllffe
Story.
(Continued from First Page.)
Dennlson financial statement had been
made public he went to Omaha for the
Des Moines Capital to interview Dennlson.
He said Dennlson at first refused to be
Interviewed, but later gave him a talk, lie
sftld Dennlson had referred to several of
the Items in the statement and said they
were correct. He admitted, the witness
said, that the amount specified In the state
ment had been spent In 8hercllffe'S behalf.
In referring to the item regarding McMil
lan, he said Dennlson said for all you could
tell that may represent other expenses than
Just what McMillan secured. He testified
that Dennlson said:
"Every cent that was spent in behalf
of Shercllffe was legitimate. I had a right
to spend It, and there wis nothing wrong
about It. Shercllffe had I6,XK) planted In
the west and he had told me that he had
some mining stock and also an interest in
an estate left by his father, and that he
would repay me. Shercllffe told rrle a story
that makes me believe him Innocent, and
I told him I would help him, and I kept
my word, as I have always done."
"Did he say that IG.000 had come into his
possession?"
"I don't remember."
"What did he say about paying money
out of his own pocket?"
"He said he had gone down into his
own pocket for Shercllffe and had also ex
pended the t,0t which Shercllffe had
planted."
The witness did not remember how much
Dennlson said he spent of his own money.
The witness said Dennlson said he made
several trips to Fort Madison to see Sher
cllffe, and that he had gone to Cedar Rap
Ids and Des Moines for him. He said
Dennlson told him that after the parole
he had tried to get Shercllffe to straighten
up, and that he had betrayed his confidence
and robbed him. He testified that Dennl
son said he sent the statement to Homer
Morris to show him that he need not ex
pect any more help from him on behalf
of Shercllffe.
Game of Politics,
The witness was asked if he had not told
Dennlson that the affair was a "game of
politics," and he admitted that he had
made such a statement. He also said Den
nlson had told him that It was politics
and would soon blow over, that Shaw and
Fay wanted to get even with him.
In answer to questions he said Dennlson
told him:
"Shercllffe said that the Plnkertons are
trying to implicate some of the Omaha fel
lows in the Pollock robbery."
The witness recalled that the name of
Dunn was mentioned in the conversation,
but he did not recall what was said about
him.
The witness admitted that he had gone
to the World-Herald office after going to
Dennlson's hoube and had discussed the
case there.
About this time Attorney Cochran made
some remark.
"Will you keep still?" yelled Attorney
Smith.
"No, I won't keep still," quietly answered
Cochran. "If I want to create a little dis
turbance I propose to do it."
"Well, you can t disturb me," hotly an
swered Smith.
"I seem to," retorted Cochran, and Smith
laughed.
Thomas then read an affidavit made by
Shercllffe to Fay and Smith Introduced the
abstract of the proceedings of the Sher
cllffe trial. Over the objections of the de
fense, the abstract was, Introduced as evi
dence. The state rested.
Defense Commence.
Mrs. Eva Swarts of Lincoln, formerly of
Logan, was the first witness of the de
fease. "Do you know Frank Shercllffe 7"
"Yes, sir."
"Who introduced you to him?"
"The proprietor of the restaurant in
which I was cashier," was the answer.
Shercllffe had testified that Cochran had
Introduced them.
She was asked to relate a conversation
she had with Shercllffe regarding the Pol
lock diamonds.
"It was on December 20, In the afternoon
about 4 o'clock, that Shercliffe came to buy
soins cigars and said something about my
diamond ring."
"That is a fine diamond," he said. -"I am
8 good Judge of diamonds."
"The only time I was ever nervous In
my life was when I took 130,000 worth of
diamonds Into Omaha on a motor car from
Council Bluffs. I had no gun. I gave
some of them to my best girl."
The prosecution tried to shaks the wit
ness, but unsuccessfully. She remembered
ths date, she said, because Ehercliffe had
told her he was going away in a few days
to spend Christmas.
A few days after the conversation she
said she bad related it to Attorney Coch
ran. Ths defense, then, through Attorney
Egan, began to read an affidavit from
Michael Conway, a convict In the Iowa
penitentiary. In that Conway stated that
he thought Shercllffe had told him he him
self had carried the diamonds Into Omaha,
but he would not be positive. He said
Shercllffe had told him that If he would
swear to certain statements against Den
nlson which had been prepared for him,
that he (Shercllffe) would promise that
he would lose nothing by it.
The reading of the deposition had fairly
begun when court adjourned for noon.
Afternoon Session.
It was the threatening weather and not
ths absence of Shercliffe that kept the
women from the court room this morning,
for this afternoon they were out In force
listening to a long line of depositions, the
greater portion or which were uninterest
ing. C. E. Peane was the only witness
the defense put on the stand in the after
noon. His story as told In answer to ques
tions was in brief as follows:
"I was in the city hospital at Kansas
City when Shercllffe was brought in from
the operating room and placed in the cot
beside me. After we came out from under
ths influence of chloroform the papers were
brought to us and he showed ms an article
which told of his getting shot the night
oefore and referred to the fact that he

10 days for a reason.
had committed the Pollock diamond rob
bery. I remarked' to him that I thought
the name of Tom Dennlson had been con
nected with that robbery at the tm. He
told me that Dennlson had nothing to
do with the robliery. and that he. Sher
rllffe. had taken the diamonds Into Omaha
and left them with a saloon keeper who dis
posed of them a few at a time and sent
him the money at various places In the
west and smith. During the time we were
together a detective named Tillotson called
upon him several times. They talked In
a low tone of voice and I could not under
stand what they said, though I heard the
name of Dennlson mentioned. In one of
our conversations Shercllffe asked me if I
thought they could take him back to Iowa
for breaking his parole, and I told him
I thought not. He then said he Intended
to fight requisition.
"One day after a visit from Tillotson he
told me he was grrtng back to Iowa to
Implicate Tom Dennlson in the Pollock
robbery, and that hs expected to soon be
out of the penitentiary. I said 'you are
not going back to testify against an In
nocent man Just to satisfy your own selfish
ends are you?'
"He replied, 'Well Dennlson Is a gambler
and got his money skinning people, and I
am going to skla him once Just for luck.' "
"Are you acquainted With Dennlson?"
"No, sir. I never saw him until I cams
to Red Oak."
Letter Is Produced.
The witness then explained that ha had
seen a notice in a newspaper that Dennlson
was to be tried for being Implicated In
the robbery and that then he wrote to
Mr. Dennlson and told him that he had
talked with Bhercllffe and oould tell some
facts to the Jury that would be to his In
terest. In reply he said he received a let
ter from W. J. Connell.
"I would like to see that original letter,"
interrupted 6mlth. "I want to know some
thing about the negotiations to get that
witness here."
"I haven't the letter," said the witness.
"I have the letter, your honor," inter
rupted Connell, "and I will gladly show It
to the gentleman."
The effect was dramatic in the extreme.
The letter was produced and offered In
evidence. There was nothing in It to In
dicate that Beane expected money for
coming here to testify.
"Were you ever convicted of a felony?"
asked Mr. Connell.
"Yos, sir. I was sentenced to five years
in the L'tah penitentiary and to three years
In the Missouri penitentiary for burglary."
Goes Over Witness' Career.
Then Smith took the witness for cross
examination. "Did you ever go under the name of
Clarence Shannon?" asked Smith.
"No, sir. The police though gave me
that name when I was sentenced in Mis
souri." "Were you sent to the penitentiary In
Utah under the name of Gray?"
"Yes, sir."
"Were you ever sentenced to the peniten
tiary in Montana?"
"No, sir."
The question was asked a number of
times in numerous ways, but Beane main
tained that he had never served in the
Montana penitentiary. He was sentenced
In Utah, he said, in IBM and in Missouri
in 1301.
"Were you not converted in the Utah
penitentiary and Joined the Christian En
deavor society?"
"Yes sir, I was converted to faith In
God," was the answer.
"Didn't the good people of Utah then
get Interested In you and secure you a par
don?" "The Christian people of Utah did secure
me a pardon."
"Were you suffering from the effects of
being shot while in the Kansas City hos
pital?" "Yes sir."
"Who shot you?" ,
"A citizen did, I think."
"Didn't you get shot while committing a
burglary for which you were sentenced to
the penitentiary in Missouri?"
"The police claimed I was committing a
burglary."
How He Came to Red Oak.
Smith again began to question the wit
ness about what he was to receive for com
ing to Red Oak to testify. He said he had
written to Connell that if Ms expenses were
paid and he was paid for the loss of time
he would come. The letter to this effect
was then produced by Connell and read to
the Jury.
"Did you come for a pass or a ticket?"
asked the lawyer.
"It was a ticket, I guess, from Qhicago to
Omaha."
"Where Is the return part of it?"
"It is in Omaha."
"Do you mean to say you come through
Red Oak and went to Omaha and then
came back to Red Oak?"
"Yes sir."
"Then how did you get back?"
"I called up Mr. Dennlson at Red Oak
and he told me to go to 1409 Douglas street
and some one there would give me money
for a ticket. The witness said he did that
and the man whose name he did not know
gave him $1.75.
"How come you to leave your return
coupon in Omaha?"
The witness for a moment showed con
siderable embarrassment and then finally
said:
"I sold it."
"Where did you sell It?"
"On the same street with the Paxton ho
tel." He sold It, he said, because he needed the
money. He was then excused and court
adjourned until Monday.
Preceding the testimony of Beane the
defense offered a number of depositions,
which were read to the Jury.
Depositions of Convleta.
Michael Conroy, an inmate of the Iowa
penitentiary, swore in his deposition that
Shercliffe had asked him If he knew of
any one who could give any evidence
against Dennlson. Said Shercliffe had told
him that if he would swear to a statement
that would be prepared for htm that he
would loss nothing by It.
B. K. Burrows, an ex-convict, who is now
distributing samples of soap, In his deposi
tion swore in substance that Shercllffe
told him that Denniaon had got him his
parole and then accused him of robbing
his house and forced him to leave Omaha
and caused him to be brought back to Iowa.
He said Shercliffe said he had "conned"
Dennlson out of making a financial state
ment and Intended to make him pay him
$100 a month for every month that he had
served In the penitentiary. Bhercllffe, he
said, had told him this when they were
both In the hospital. He said he told his
wife about It, and she said:
"Mr. Denniaon has a wife and child, like
you bave, and you should tell him about
this schema to ruin him."
He then swore that he came to Omaha
and told Dennlson what he knew.
Dennlson Kot Hard I P.
To rebut the testimony of Shercllffe that
Dennlson was "hard up" right after ths
Corbett-Sulllvan fight a deposition was
read from Harry P. Hlmes of Cheyenne.
It said that Hlmes was at the flgh( and
after It waa over Hlmes had borrowed
$1,700 from Dennlson and (hat Dennlson
had a big roll left. He swore be paid back
the money within a week or ten days and
that Dennlson had left New Orleans before
hs did.
A second deposition was read from Sandy
Grlswold of the World-Herald, who re
ported the fight for the Omaha Bee. Grls
wold swore that he saw Dennlson hand
over a big roll of money to Hlmes and
that Dennlson had told him it was $1,700.
That he came horns on the same train with
Dennlson and that Dennlson spent money
freely, and frequently he saw he bad a
large roll. He did not know how much.
Dennlson had bet, but he siild he was one
of the "hilarious" ones coming home from
ths fight.
The deposition of Charles W. Mullen
bore on the bond which waa given for
Shercllffe when under arrest there and
which Shercllffe said cost Dennlson $750.
He swore that a men named Burns told
him that Shercllffe was a brother to Den
nlson and that he went to the Jail to see
him. Shercllffe. he swore, told him the
same thing and then asked him to go on
ths bond and he did so. He said he had
not paid the bond for the reason that he
went through bankruptcy and got out of It.
The defense then offered a certified copy
of the petition In the bankruptcy proceed
ings, but It was ruled out.
The witness swore that he had never re
ceived a cent of money from Dennlson and
that he had never received a telegram from
him. On cross-examination, as shown by
the deposition, he said he may have said
that Dennlson sent him money, when
talking to a Plnkerton detective to ex
plain why he got his "foot In the case,"
but If he did make such a statement It
was false.
A deposition was then read from H. W.
Fletcher of Georgetown, Wash. The ques
tlon was asked:
"Were you solicited for money to help
pay the expense of Shercliffe's trlnl and to
secure him a parole?"
The answer was "yes."
"Who did yon pay It to?"
Before the answer could be read 'the
prost-cutlon objected.
"Your honor," exclaimed Connell, "we
will prove by a competent witness who he
paid it to. We will prove It by a witness
in the flesh and we will prove it beyond a
doubt."
The answer was then read: "I paid $!i0
to Hooker or Murphy, I don't know which.
I paid It In August or September, lf3."
Fletcher was a faro dealer and had worked
for Dennlson, he said, for about two
months on one occasion.
