LD OAK. June 1. , Special Teiegram.)
In general and hi detail Tom Iiennison
today, an the a-ltnese stand, armed the
tory tf Frank Shcrcliffe, connecting him
a-tth the Pollock diamond robbery. He
went ever the "financial statement'' upon
which the prosecution deind so much,
with Connt.l on direct examination and
with Bmlih on c-osB-examinatlon a-lthout
hesitation or without yetting mixed. The
statement, he swore, he had made at the
request of Ehercliffe to be used by him In
Influencing hi brother to give to him that
portion of hi father'! estate which he
claimed. Some of the statements I-nnison
swore were absolutely without truth or
foundation, while others, he said, were
expenses he bad paid out of money depos
ited with him by Hooker for Shercllfle.
Denntnon was mill on tbe stand at o clock
and will go on again In the morning to
continue the crone -examination.
After the noon adjournment permission
was granted to both prosecution and de
fense to place several witnessed on the
stand who desired to leave town. The
day was marked by a lively tilt between
Attorney Thomas and Chief of Police Dona
hue of Omaha In a running detiate between
the two as to which of them deserved
the credit for closing Iiennison s policy
shop, and by several bouts between oppos
ing counsel. This latter became so strenu
ous that late In the day Judge Green cau
tioned the attorneys that unless they fol
lowed the rules as laid down by the court
he would be comjielied to lessen the num
ber of attorneys. The tilt between
Thomas and Iwiahue occurred after
Thomas had asked iKmahue If tbe chances
wars not with the gambling bouse Instead
of the player. Ixinahue answered that he
had known of people breaking the bank
In a gambling house.
"iMd you ever hear of a policy grama be
ing broke?" asked Thomas.
"Tou tried mighty hard to break one."
retorted Donahue.
1 did It. too, didn't I." answered Thomaa
"No air, I dosed the game myself on In
structions from the Board of Fire and
Folio onmrntsmonera. Not only that, but
I tew looked us evidence for jnu in luu
of eases and you Aid not prosecute."
The crowd was larger than ever before,
every available space being occupied. Bo
Interested In hearing Dennison testify were
the women that many of them paid boys
to remain In their seats during the noon
adjournment.
Daaalaoa Make DeaisX
At o'clock sharp Lennison resumed ths
stand and began his direct examination.
He testified that he was not in business
in Omaha at the time of the Pollock rob
bery, and that be was receiving his mail
at Bonnenberg s Jewelry store, that being
his headquarter. He was asked by Con
noil every (juration which had been put
to Bhercllffe ia regard ts conversations
Ehercliffe swore the two had held and Ixra.
niaon positively denied that he had ever
seen Bherclifle from the time he had seen
him In Bait Lake until the Logon trial. He
denied that he had met Pollock at the Mil
lard hotel shortly before the latter left for
tbe Webster street depot to go to Sioux
City, but corroborated the testimony of
O Connor that they, with Patsy Grant, had
sjnl the afternoon together visiting vari
ous places in Omaha and had eaten sup
per together at Ed Maurer s restaurant.
He denied the statement of 8hercllffe that
the two had held a conversation In a sa
loon near the Webster street station on
the afternoon before the robbery. He had
separated from O Connor about ( o'clock
that evening after having left Patsy Grant
playing poker In the Diamond. The first
he knew of the robbery he aaid w-as when
he read the papers the following day. Con
nell read to him several dippings purport
ing to be a statement from Pollock in
which It was stated that Pollock said he
believed the man who robbed him had
shadowed him all day.
Karw Br Was shadowed.
Dentuaon said he recalled reading the
statement at the time It was printed. He
wore that he knew the officers were
shadowing him and he then corroborated
the testimony of John Ieiinion that he
had called the latter to see him fur three
or four evenings after th robbery and
that John Iiennison and James Wilson had
remained aitti him until about lu o clock
during those evenings. He also corrobor
ated Fleming's testimony that me two had
been together on election day and the day
precious in Omaha.
He swore mat he hud not gone to Mis
souri Valley during the month of Novem
ber. Then in contradiction to the statement
of Bhercllffe that Iiennison had promised
to make nun a alien: partner in me policy
business Iienhisuu s ore that he was not
In the policy buHinesa at tnat time He
swore tnat he had never received any

indirectly aud tnat he had never sent tim
any money to Seattle or to any other place

in the meantime the police continued
their investigations and great crowds vis
ited the scene of the bon.b thrcams. The
front of the iiouvre, facing ttie line de
r.ivolt, ahoa-ed three distinct traces of the
pre jet tilt. The vn.ience of the explosion
aas sci great that particiet ;f the bomb
about the size of nu:. aert found on re
mote portions ol the roof of the Ixiuvre.
The pavement at, tire the mistile struck
was blackened and torn, and under the
direction of the TX'iice a square yard of the
burned pavement blocks was removed for
the purpose of being used in the investiga
tions at the municipal laboratory.
In the early hours the euspectF arrested
Immediately after the explosion aere fur
ther interrogated and the police later an
nounced that the main suspicion appeared
to attach to a young man named Arsena
Amould, aho is held on the evidence of a
woman, who alleged that she noticed him
lighting a supposed fuse.. The man. who
is employed as a laboratory attendant and
resides Is Paris, is suffering from a
wounded eye.
It developed today that shortly after
King Alfonso passed last night a bomb
was found in the P.ue de Rjvoli. near the
spot where the explosion occurred This
bomb also contained dangerous explosives
Tile plot is said to have teen planned in a
hotel near the scene of the explosion. The
names of several additional Injured persons
lias reached the jiolice. the number now
reaching ten, and including several who
were struck ahile aatching the procession
from balconies.
The woman who gave the information
against Arnould Is herself under sur
veillance for possible complicity In the out
rage. Rigid police measures were In force along
the route followed by the young monarch.
The croa-ds cheered the king, aho saluted
amiably in reply
Cm arriving at tbe field of maneuvers, the
king, aeartng the uniform of a field mar
shal and mounted on a suiierb bay, rode
before the troops, President Loubet ao
oompanylng him in a carriage. The superb
military spectacle began aith a sham bat
tle. It is understood that the king received
a telegram from Emperor William congrat
ulating him on his escape from asaasBian
tlon last night.
During the day members of the diplomatic
corps called at the D'Orsay place and ex
pressed tiie regrets of many countries.
The wounded now reach fifteen. Including
a member of the Mexican Chamber of Iep
uties. Fernando Robino. The police be
lieve that the band of Spanish anarchists
arrested here May 26 aere engaged In the
plot- One memtier of the band escaped and
is believed to be the real perpetrator of
last night s outrage.
A semi-official version of the explosion
given out today increases the gravity of
the affair and shows the narroa-ness of
the escape of both King Alfonso and Pres
ident Loubet. The left panel of the car
riage, winch was the side M Loubet oc
cupied, has five perforations. A footman
named Victor, sitting on the left side of
the vehicle, received a splinter in the thigh,
and both horses were injured. One of the
horses of the P.epublican Guards, one of
the escort, received the full charge, thus
diverting it from the two rulers

contesting delegates is fully understood.
It is Holmes of Lancaster against the
Ceid, and the leaders of the outside coun
ties aere busy all day trying to tfiect a
combination.
So far as getting a caucus of the sup

failed, so it remained to tie seen in the
convention which had their forces lst In

a-hich the prize would go to a dark norse.

At lu o'clock Chairman Root repeated
"No choice, call the roil again," for Uie

XEW TORK, Jtme 1 Details of the rec

committee headed by Henry C. Frick. which
has been investigating the affairs of the
Equitable Life Assurance society, became
knoa-n today, although the officers and
directors of the society still decline offi
cially to discuss ft. Many of these recom

The officers of the S'lJery are sharply criti
cized in the report
Mr. Frick and other menbers of the com
mittee assembled today m Mr. Frick s office.
One of Mr. Frick s early visitors wa Gage
E. Tarbe!!. the Equitable society's second
vice president. It aas reported that Mr.
Tartll s visit to Chairman Frick s office
ended In his dembndmg a copy of the com
mittee report, a-hich was thereupon handed
him by Mr Frick.
Francis Hendricks, s-ste superintendent
of insurance, again took up his investiga

This examination is being conducted at the
branch office of the insurance department
and not m the offices of the Equitable
society, where previous examinations have

While no authoritative statement was grven
out today as to tbe nature of the Frick re
port it became knoa-n definitely that the
report criticised the administration of the
president and fl-si and second vice presi
dents of the so'-iety and condemned the
practice of individuals connected a-ith the
society assigned to undera-ritmg syndicates
a-here those syndicates had transactions
with the society. The report also charged
laxity and negligence of management, dis
approved certain high salaries paid and de
clared thst the enure business of the life
insurance company snould be properly in
terrogated in the interest of policy holders.
It further sets forth that extravagance has
existed In practically every department of
the society. One feature of the n.m,t r
I far-reaching consequence Is a recommenda
j tion that the Equitable abandon the various
! forms of preferred dividend paying policies
j and confine Its attention to the old forma

The truth is in a knoa n to tin- hurt. blest
people IE the capital and a-111 soon spread
throurh the empire and the muttering of
the jieople are certain to have an ominous
effect on the army nt the front. It is feared
that the revolutionaries and socialists are
planning to take advantage of the govern
ment s discomfiture by melting d-monstra-tions
and a renewal of the strikes. As a
precautionary mearur- more guard regi
ments have been ordered back from camp
and additional Cossack reinforcements have
I-een brought to St Petersburg. The lib
erals also consider thst the government is
at li.st m a comer and that the time has
come to strike. The presp no longer asks
it threatens. The Sieve this momit.g men
aces the government, boldly declaring that

a revolting picture of the officeholders last

a lien such men keep the masses in ignor
ance and thrust the true patriots of the
country Into cells and underground dun
geons?" Even the Novo Vremya this morning
warns the government that it cannot tem
porize and act the reward, but must come
out openly immediately convene the people
and let them decide the future.
The extraordinary council at Tsarskoe
Se,o yesterday reached no conclusion on
the subject of peace., hut definite reports
say the emperor agreed to meet the in
ternal situation by the immediate procla
mation of a decree providing for the con
vocation of a national assembly.
M. Wltte. presid'nt of the Council of
Ministers, aho was present, is understood
to have assumed the leadership of the ad
vocates of peace and the Immediate convo
cation of a national assembly as the only
muans of averting- tiie jiopuiar storm which
is threatening to break. The aar party
is dying hard. It Is tn -unanimous opinion
in diplomatic circles that the logic of
events points to no other issue except
peace, but the diplomats also admit that
the decision rests a-lth the emperor. But
even ahen all tbe ministers except War
Minister Sakharoff and Minister of Marine
Avellan are solidly arrayed against at
tempt to continue the hopeless struggle,
the emperor has refused thus far to say
a a-ord. To a vis, tor on Tuesday his

he would rather die than sign an ignomi

The ministers a ho aer.t to the council at

Again at night the manifesto a-as ex

This manifesto, it is credibly reported,
will proclaim the invocation of a national
assembly, to ahich the question of peace or

burden from the shoulders of the emperor
to the a hole nation, robbing agitators of

Attacked by Torpedo Boats.
The battleships steaming at fourteen

Japanese torpedo boats, especially at the
extremities of the line. At dawn It waa

Person s account continues:
I was cut of! from the squadron and
finding it impossible to rejoin it resolved
to make fur Vladivostok. I put on full
sjieed and the enemy s cruisers came on in
pursuit. Owing to the ltisuffk-lenrv of my
coal supply and the certainty of "meeting
the enemy s cruisers. 1 subsequently al

The emperor is understood to have re
ceived a dispatch from Rear Admiral Nebo
gatofT containing an outline of the battle
and sent by courtesy of the Japanese gov
ernment, and the contents also are with
held. From some of the Tokio accounts of the
battle naval men here while not attempt
ing to conceal their admiration for Admiral
Togo s superb tactics, say the Russian fleet
made a fairly Fnod showing until the flag
ship Kr.ioz Souvaroff was sunk add Ad
miral Rojestvensky was no longer able to

lines acre thrown Into confusion, but
nevertheless the hght continued for fony
