New York’s lncomprehensible Per-
jurer’s Plea “Not Guilty.”
MISS KEL‘LARD’S MESTERY.
Barbara. “Was Very Anxious to Shield Her
Ex-Friend—The Judge Refused to Ap-
point a. Commission to Inquire
Into Miss Aub’s Sanity.
NEW YORK, Dec: 14.—Barbara Aub Was
Irraigned before Judge Cowing in part one
Jf general sessions today to plead to an
indictment for perjury in giving false tes-
timony against Walter L. S. Langcrman
in his trial for assault. She had confessed
that her testimony was false and had
then retracted her confession. She pleaded
not guiltynnd was held in $1,000 bail for
trial.
Judge Cowing denied the application of
her counsel, F. B. House, for the appoint-
Inent of a commission to examine into her
sanity.
The last time the Aub girl was ur-
raigned she pleaded guilty. She seemed
then to remember that she had confessed
to Recorder 'Goff that she had perjurcd
herself while testifying against Walter L.
S. Langerman. '
Mrs. Mitchell and the Rev. J. G. Lewis
locompanied the girl to the court. Before
Judge Cowlng appeared in court the Aub
girl made thgfollowing statement:
“What I want to do,” she said, “is to
deny all the statements made by Colonel
Haire that I am a woman of loose charac-
ter. I wish it stated that I defy any one
to say a single word against my charac-
ter. My case I shall leave to my counsel
and Judge Cowing. It is eight months
since this trouble began, and I have suf-
fered enough already. ” '
This is the first statement that Barbara
Aub has made to the newspapers since her
alleged confession. While waiting for
court to open, the Rev. J. G. Lewis made
this statement:
“I have known Barbara Aub for five
years, and I have called to testify to her
good character. I do not believe any of
the wicked stories that I have heard about
her. She was a member of my church.”
Lawyer House appeared for the Aub
girl. He is completely puzzled by his
client’s actions and has little faith now
In anything she says. -.
Barbara’s Lawyer Puzzled.
The court was well crowded when the
clerk called, “Barbara Aub to the bar.”
The girl walked in and sat in front of
Judge Cowlng. Lawyer House stood by
her side and the Rev. Mr. Lewis directly
behind her. The Aub girl was very pale.
She twisted her fingers nervously about
the corners of a handkerchief she held.
The clerk called upon Barbara to plead
to the charge of perjury. The girl dropped
her eyes to the floor and pleaded not guilty.
Lawyer House then made a speech to
the court reciting all the facts of the case
in detail and asking that a commission be
appointed to examine into the girl’s san~
lty:
Lawyer House recited how he had been
assigned to the case. He asked to be re-
lieved of the assignment, stating that he
could make nothing dot of the girl. He
told the story of her lack of memory as to
her confession to Recorder Goff.
"‘This girl started to tell me all,” said
Mr. House. ”I had my stenographer
there. She stopped suddenly. and jump-
lng from the cot upon which she was seat-
ad cried, ‘Assure me that no harm will
come to Miss Kellard, that she cannot be
arrested, and I’ll tell you’ all.’
“She was in a highly excitable state of
Inind. Finally she said that if I would
leave the cell she would tell Miss Rosen-
thnl, the stenographer, that which she
could not tell me. She then told Miss
Rosenthal that Miss"Kellard during the
trial had repeatedly said, ' You are not
telling the truth about Langerman,’ and
when she assured Miss Kellard that her.
story was true she (Miss Kellard) said:
‘You are not telling me the truth. God
tells me you are ngt.’ ”
When he first consulted with the girl,
Lawyer House said she seemed to realize
her position thoroughly. -
‘She said that she had told all to Re-
the prospect of going to prison.
Inoxplicable Conduct.
She had then refused to see her rela-

corder Goff and felt relieved, even with
'm if she had awmnveairmmu dream.
There was a desire to see her aunts. It was
In their presence that she retracted her
confession. '
She was willing to see her aunts, but
unwilling after that to see the Door of Hope
people.
“Since I have been this girl’s counsel,”
continued Mr. House, ”I have seen wom-
en who were constantly associated with
her. Some believe she is insane. Others
think she has been under some one’s in-
fluence. As for myself, I don’t know
what to think. I do not think she ought
to plead guilty, and for that reason I ad-
vised the ploa of not guilty. ”
Colonel Fellows stated that until recent
I developments he had decided to ask for
her release.
For the first time since Barbara Aub
g has been a prisoner in the Tombs she rs-
l coived spiritual advice today from a min—
‘ister of the gospel. The clergyman was
; with the girl for an hour before court
' opened:
Barbara Aub wrote two letters today
which promised new developments in the
case. One of these was to Lawyer House.
It read: _
MR. HOUSE—Please come to see me today. I,
must see you. Miss Aim.
The second letter was addressed to
Colonel Robert W. Townsmd of the dis-
trict attorney’s ofiice. Colonel Townsend
é prosecuted Langerman on the Aub girl’s
! charge of criminal assault. It read as
follows: '
see me, as‘I know you are my friend?
Miss Ann.
nacssenger. Just why the Aub girl want-
ed to see Colonel Townsend she refused to
say. .
plcte statement until Mr. House can as-
sure her that no harm- will come to Miss
Kellard is regarded as one of the strangest
phases of the case. The statement at once
gave rise to the question of the nature of
Miss Kellard's mysterious power over the
girl. a
Miss Kellard saw considerable of Bar-
bara Aub. It was in her company that
the girl went to Recorder Goff’s bones
from the Door of Hope on Thanksgiving
eve to make her confession. While in the
Door of Hope, Barbara and Miss Kcllard
were constantly together. '
Miss Kellard, it is said by her relatives,
exercised a strange influence over Barbara
Aub.

Federal Prisoners’
CHICAGO, Dec. 14,—Judge Grossoup has
decided that United States officers had no
right to confiscate money found on federal
prisoners. The issue came up in the case
of Le Roy Harris, who was arrested in
February, 1894, for cashing forged money
orders on the Aurora, La Salle and Otta-
we postofilces, and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary. His forgeries netted him $3,000.
When arrested, he had $1,310. This was
confiscated.

Altgeld's Justification.
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-—-Governor Altgeld
has made formal answer to the open letter
of rebuke addressed to him by W. A.
Giles relative to the pardon of McNulty
and Chapman, the intimidators , at the
last election. He says that the trial of the
men was not a public prosecution, but a
partisan prosecution, in which the courts
were prostituted for the furtherance of
party interests.
Lambert to Die on Thursday.
CAMDEN, N. J., Dec. 14.—-Shcriff Bar-
rett placed the deathwatch over Murderer
Theodore Lambert for the third time.
Lambert is to be hanged on Thursday
next in the Camden jail. In searching
the jail Constable Gardiner found the
blade of a table knife hidden between the
stones in the wall of the cell. It is sup-
posed that Lambert intended to commit
suicide. ‘

lecretary of State Olney Declines to Sup-
port Godfrey's Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-—Special cor-
respondence by the City of Peking from
Honolulu, under date of Dec. 6, states
that United States Minister Willis made
an official call upon Foreign Minister
Cooper on the morning of’ Dec. 4 in rela-
tion to the complaints of Frank Godfrey
to the American government.
Godfrey’s first complaint was on account
of detention at the cholera hospital 2‘1
hours over the timea convalescent or sus-
pect is usually hold. This complaint was
not sent on to Washington, the matter be-
ing considered as properly within the dis-
cretion of the local health authorities.
Godfrey’s second complaint was on ac-
count of being tarred and feathered by
several men in September last. as shown
.by-a number of affidavits. Some of the
names of his assailants be professes to
know. He demands $50,000 damages
from the government. ,
Minister Willis informed Mr. Coo or
that Secretary Olney declined to support
Godfrey’s case on the ground that he had
not appealed to the local courts, where his
proper remedy lay. There was some queer
tion about Godfrey’s American citizen-
ship, which Mr. Olney did not deem it
necessary to consider.

BREAKFAST AND H EALTH.
The Latter Is Promoted by Taking the
Former Before Exercise.
Breakfast 'should be eaten in the
morning before leaving the house for
exercise or labor of any description.
‘ Those who do it will be able to perform
more work, and with greater comfort
and alacrity than those who work an
hour or two before breakfast. Besides
this the average duration of life of
those who take breakfast before exer-
cise or work will be a number of years
greater than _those who do otherwise.
Most persons begin to feel weak after
having been engaged five or six hours
in their ordinary avocations; a. good
meal reinvigorates, but from the last
meal of the day until next morning.
there is an interval of some Nor-“1‘2
hours. Hence the body, in a sense, is
weak, and in proportion cannot resist
deleterious agencies, whether of the
fierce cold of midwinter or of the poi-
sonous miasm which rests upon the sur-
face of the earth whenever the sun
shines on a blade of vegetation ora
heap of offal.
This miasm is more solid, more con-
centrated, and hence more malignant
about sunrise and sunset than at any
other hour of the 24, because the cold
of the night condenses it, and it is on
the first few inches above the soil in its
most solid form, but as the sun rises it
warms and expands and ascends toa
point high enough to be breathed, and
being taken into the lungs with the air
and swallowed with the saliva into the
stomach, all week and empty as it is,
it is greedily drank in, thrown immedi-
atelyinto the circulation of the blood
and carried directly to every part of the
body, dep siting its poisonous influences
at the very fountain head of life.
If early breakfast were. taken in re-
gions where chills and fever and ague
prevail, and if, in addition, a brisk
fire were kindled in the family room.
for the hours including sunset and
sunrise, these troublesome maladies
would diminish in any one year, not ten-
fold, but a thousandfcld, because the
heat of the fire would rarefy the mias-
matic air instantly and send it above
the breathing point—Cincinnati En--
