The Rech, which Jolnta in the appeal to
Parliament not to tal;.a.vstep, hlch niigb,t
seem to warrant the government In assert
ing that Parliament is attempting to usurp
the executive power, says that If the gov
ernment adopts the opre expedient of
calling In foreign trpops to put. down a
civil war the result Will- toot" tm ths same
as in 1841, when a Russian army saved the
Hapsburg dynasty. The paper declares
that the people will rally under the banner
of Parliament aa they did In England un
der that of the English Parliament at the
time of Charles I, with" 'f ifjobahiy a' similar
result, namely, the losa afjtne Ring's 'bend.

faction, which Included practically the h

to (induce Its followers to vote against the
adiresa. Prof. MMukoff and others vainly
appealed to M. Vlnaver, who headed the
Insurgents, Insisting that the party would
be' wrecked !f It failed to keep abreast
of the radical sentknerjt jif the country. In
the lobbies of the house the ante topio of
'speculation. was the posslhle dissolution of
,Farllam,n,t. Tha prevailing conviction was
that th government abandoned the idea of
a compromise when It was found that H

His-Baseless lira.
Tellow journalism has had Its trial and
hae been convicted convicted of faking.
The Dally News reporter who. conjured
up the 'confession", of.. Mrs. Frank E.
Wheeler that James Dlggs murdered her
husband, after bluffing and blustering.
fter giving the lie to the county attor
ney's office, as well -as to a reputable
newspaper, waa given a chance before
Judge Crawford of tha .pollca court to
make good and he failed ignominously;
In other words, after a thorough Investi
gation, his alleged "confession" was not
t)n1y proven to be a high-handed fake, but
both Mrs, "Wheeler and Dlggs were dis
charged for Want of evidence to warrant
a conviction: .--'-
At 1:05 Thursday afternoon Police Juge
'Crawford -1lcharged James Dlggs, colored,
and Mrs Dora Wheeler, charged with the
murder of Frank E. Wheeler; whoae body
was fou, id on Bomb Fourteenth street on
the evening of February 2S. Deputy County
Attorneys Fitch and Bhotwell. for the state,
placed on the stand over a doien witnesses
to establish the- relations of Dlggs and
Mrs. Wheeler, the movements of Dlggs on
the evening, of the murder and the possible
motive for the crime, while Attorney TV.
W. DodgS, representing the defendants,
called only Matron Gibbons of the city Jail
for the defense. Neither Dlggs nor Mrs.
Wheeler took the stand. The case was
submitted without arguments. Deputy
COunty Attorney Fitch .urged that the de
fendants be held to tha district court.
Faker on the Stand.
One of the features at the trial .was the
testimony of Harry Wilkinson, reporter for
the Daily News, who1 reiterated an alleged
confession said to havd been received by
him from Mrs. Wheeler on' the morning of
February 26 In the -natron's department.
Without referring to-, the credibility of the
alleged confession 'the " police Judge de
clared that the confession must not be con
sidered against Dlggs, and. If It be true.
It would merely indicate the feelings of the
wife for her murdered husband at the time.
The police Judge further said in giving his
decision that the only scintilla of evidence
offered by the state was the attempt of the
detectives ' to connect Diggs' hoes with
footprints found In the soil near the scene
of the murder, and the visit of Dlggs to the
Millard hotel engine room the day before
the murder. 'Judge, Crawford declared It
would be the height . of oily to put the
county to the expense of a Jury trial on
such evidence as that brought before him.
Matron" Gibbons repudiated In part the
yellow Journal confeaaloa offered by the
state. '.'''.
The court room was crowded to suffoca
tion. The case was 'taken up about 9:30 and
lasted 'until arter 1 o'clock. It proved the
most Interesting taej.'of: the kind to be
heard In the police 'cbiirt for many years.
. Bio Evidence; front the Flrat. -
At the time of tho murder of Frank E.
Wheeler. James Dlggs 'and Mrs. "Wheeler
.were arrested ,'on suspicion of having been
parties to the crlmt .Diggs being supposed
to have been the person who dealt' the
fatal blow.1'' The rHtter was brought bs
fore the grand ')hrr then In "session, but

began proceedings ti reopn the case, with
the alleged confession and the aforemen
tioned Junior yellow In the spotlight. With
the. Junior yellow printing a tirade of scur
rilous attacks ory ,ths county attorney's
office snd insinuating that the otherrnews
papers were trying: to. shield Dlggs and
Mra. Wheeler because, they had been beaten
on a "scoop," (meaning the alleged con
fession), the county attorney was finally
prevailed upon to try the case lh the po
lice court . to. satisfy all Interests and 4o
clear the -office of the aspersions that It
had not performed Its fulj duty In the
premlees. , The result was that the prelim
inary hearing was set for Thursday morn

all of the . state's full . strength. The de

." The fact that Attorney Dodge, for the
defenda ts, was .content to rest, his-ease
on the evidence of Police Matron Gibbons,
whd ' testified only to the alleged ' confes
sion, showed. the confidence of tha de
fense." i. - - .
Harry Wilkinson took tha stsnd and re
peated what he declared Mrs. Wheeler told
him in i ha matron's - department on. the
morning of February 36. Wilkinson said he
went Iqto the, matron's department ostensibly-
to see an, old wonn named Mrs. Dillon
Snd while In 'the room held conversation
with Mrs. Wheeler.'
. "I first told Mrs. Wheeler that Dlggs hsd
fully confessed and had implicated her,"
said the witness.
. The-statement that Diggs had confessed
was in itself a deliberate He, as everyone
about , police headquarters affirmed.'
Then Wilkinson said Mrs. Wheeler told
him that she had begged Dlggs not to kill
her' husband, that she knew he went to
the Millard hotel engine room to get a
look at Wheeler, and furthermore she had
warned her husband about the matter and
had arranged to move to Colorado. Wil.
klnson also said the Wheeler woman told

' After relating the summary ejectment of
tha yellow Juu-nallst from tha matron's de
partment Mrs. Gibbons said she was not
further than ten feet any time during the
presence of Reporter-Witness . Wilkinson.
She said:
. "Wilkinson came In to see Mrs. Dillon,
an old woman who wa in need of pecuni
ary assistance and whom the reporter had
been In the habit of seeing from day to day.
While he was in the room I showed two
women to a retiring room snd did not go
further thn ten feet from the reporter. I
heard him tell Mra. Wheeler that Dlggs
had confessed and heard tha woman, reply:
'Well, If tie is tha guilty n.a I hope he will
be punished !'. Of course, while I was a few
feet away Mr. Wilkinson might have said
more, but t don't 'think he did." -

such confession to the Dally News reporter.
Even under the most approved methods of
"sweating" prisoners the police wers una
ble to get anything from the woman which
might have implicated either herself or
Diggs in the murder.
Fake Most Sot Be Considered.
In giving his decision Police Judgs
Crawford referred to the "alleged con
fession," saying:
"Mr. Wilkinson's alleged . confession
trust not be considered against Diggs, In
that he was not present at the time It
was said to have been secured. .The con
fession. If it be considered at all, would
only show the concern of Mrs. Wheeler
for her murdered' husband. The rela
tions between Dlggs .and Mrs. Wheeler
have been shown and some probable mo
tive established, but aside from- ths facta
that Dlggs" shoes seemed to have fitted
Into tracks found near the scene of the
murder and that Dlggs had a friendly
conversation with Wheelrt ths -Millard
hotel there is not a. scintilla of evidence,
to Warrant me btndins; the defendants
'over tt tho district court.".
' When th decision was announced
friends of- the accused attempted a dem
onstration, which was quickly suppressed
by the police.
Movements of Dlggs.
The testimony regarding ths movements
of Dlggs on the evening of Februsry 23 was
confusing at the best. Mr. darrell said he
went to church at Twenty-fourth and
Grant streets, arriving at the house of wor
ship about time for service, which was
g o'clock. He said Dlggs had not been
away front tha place more than' once, then
for fifteen minutes,' since t o'clock. The
body of Wheeler was found at .7:20 by
George Welch and was then wsrm. Mrs.
Osrrell was sadly mixed regarding her
recollection of time. Her testimony was
of no value. Guy Btevena, garbage hauler,
said he saw Diggs at Thirteenth and Iav
enworth streets a fsw minutes- after. I
o'clock that evening. Several witnesses
testified Dlggs called at the Millard hotel
engine room on. the afternoon of th day
before ths murder. One aald Dlggs and
Wheeler held a friendly conversation for
half an hour.
Among the Interested spectators In ths
court were Miss Ira Wheeler, sister of the
murdered man, and C. L. Shamp, secretary
of the local union of stationary firemen.
Two detectives of the city Jail went on
the stand and tried to establish a connec
tion: between the shoes Dlggs wore on th
evening of Februsry 2t and shoe, prints
found in the soil near the spot -where
Wheeler's body waa found. - When asked
to produce the shoes for evidence they wers
"unable to say where the shoes were. The
other witnesses merely testified ss to the
finding of the body and their aco.ualnts.nce
with Dlggs and Mrs. Wheeler.
In ' the main the evidence was substan
tially the same as 'published in Th Bee
at the -time of the' murder.
Dlggs Ost on Bond,
- After being released by the police Judge
James Dlggs muttered a few uncompli
mentary remarks in the direction of Btev
Maloney, on of th plain clothes squall at
th city Jail, for which offense Maloney
arrested Dlggs on the charge of disorderly
conduct. Dlggs waa Immediately released
on a cash bond. Maloney waa on of th
witnesses agalnat Diggs.
