4“. ' 'THE‘EVDNIN‘GGAZETTE. THE HAVEMEYERCASE. Continuation of .Trial of the Sugar King In Washington. ‘ A DEFENSE SCORES A, POINT. Extracts 'Frorn the Senate Journal Admit- ted—Judge Bradley’s Sarcastic Refer- ence —- The Issues Upon \Vhich the Result Hinges. Washington. May 27.—-The trial of Henry O.‘ Havemeyer, the president of the American Sugar Refining company, for declining to answer questions of the senate investigating committee, was re- sumed today before Judge Bradley in the criminal court. The attendance was almost as;_large as at yesterday’s ses- sion, whiéh Eclpsed after taking the tes- timony t'ofj'jf’Snators Gray, Lindsay, Lodge ”an-dEDRViS, as to the questions which Mrrfflavemeyer refused to an- swer. ‘ District Attorney Davis today offered again in evidence the extract of the senate journal showing the recusancy of Mr. Havemeyer, to which the defense objected unless the other journals, showing the whole action of the senate upon the case, be admitted. Judge Bradley agreed to admit all relevant extracts from the senate jour- nals, and thereupon Mr. Johnson of Mr. Havemeyer’s counsel withdrew his Ob- jection. Accordingly the extracts show- ing the three reports of the committee to the senate paragraph detailing the fact of Mr. Havemeyer’s contumacy ‘were admitted. Mr. Johnson objected to the admission of the printed reportof the senate Su- gar trust investigating committee as evidence, and a long debate followed on this point. The government’s counsel strenuous- ly insisted that it was admissible as an .Ofiicial senate report. Mr. Davis said that he was driven to the necessity of offering the document as evidence be- cause the original stenographic notes of Mr. Havemeyer's testimony had been lost. The defense Offered to admit the whole printed record, but objected to the extract relating to Mr. Havemeyer’s testimony. ‘ A Point For Bavcmeyer. The court said that if the contention of the government was correct then the whole record was evidence and much time of the court had been wasted. He convulsed the courtroom by his sar— castic reference to the “sanctity” with which the district attorney had clothed the proceedings of the senate. In the apostolic days, he said, clothes taken ' from the bodies of the apostles were supposed to have healing virtues, and everi the rags that subsequently came in contact with them. “Those days," said the judge, while Senator Gray laughed outright, “are past. The court sustains the objection.” This ruling compelled the district at- torney to again call the senate commit- tee’s stenographer, Mr. Prentiss, to the stand. Over half an hour was con- sumed in comparing the printed record with the testimony as given in the in- dictment. The attorneys then an- nounced that they had agreed that cer- tain extracts from the printed report of Mr. Havemeyer’s testimony should go in as direct evidence. The extracts admitted showed the evident purpose. of the defense to con- tend that Mr. Havemeyer had answer- ed all pertinent inquiries and had re- fused to furnish only data as to politi- cal contributions in state and local elections. The court held for the de— fense that these extracts having been admitted, it was competent for the de- fense to bring out all other things in the’testimony. In making the ruling the judge remarked significantly: “Suppose it can be shown that Mr. Havemeyer in substance gave the com- mittee’ the information asked for in the question to which the answer was sub- sequently refused.” Immediately following this the de- fense offered Mr. Havemeyer’s denials, paragraph by paragraph. of the news- paper article in the Philadelphia Press written by “Holland.” All the other points of Mr. Have— meyer’s testimony before the senate in- vestigating committee, selected to cover the scope of the senate inquiry, also were introduced by the defense. After the recess Mr. Johnson contin- ued to read Mr. Havemeyer’s testimony to the jury. The defense agreed to the admission of the records and journals of the legislatures of New York and New Jersey which the government Of- fered yesterday, with the admission by the government of the fact of county and municipal elections in those states in 1892. The files of the newspaper ar- ticles upon which the senate resolution providing for the investigation was based were also admitted. At this point the government announced that it rested its case. Mr. Johnson, of counsel for the de- fense thereupon moved that the in- dictment be dismissed on six grounds, which he discussed at great length. The court then adjourned. How Havemeyer May Escape. The impression prevailed in the court room today before the trial was re- sumed that Mr. Havemeyer would be convicted. At least the opinion was that the trial was not going so well with him as he had been led to expect it would go. Mr. Havemeyer’s chief hope is that he will be able to show that the questions'which he is being prosecuted for 'not answering were im- proper and beyond the province of the committee to ask. If he'can get the court to charge the jury that these questions were notpertinent then he will be acquitted. 7 The cross examination so far has en- d’eavored to show three things: First.—That the questions were not pertinent because they had to do with subscriptions to political committees claimed by Mr. Havemeyer to be “10- cal," and therefore beyond the power of a “national” senate to inquire into. Second—That several members of the committee took this view, and told , Mr. Havemeyer that he need not an—_ swer. Third—That the questions were not committee questions anyhow, but indi- vidual questions Of Senator Allen’s. Fourth—That the report of the com- mittee that the witness was contuma- cious was never adopted by the senate, land, 'the defendant has been indicted on the opinion of any three members 0 . ‘ of the senate—a. bare majority of th committee. - If the defense prove all these things Mr Havemeyer can get off. But it must prove them. So far the fact has been dug out on cross ‘examinationthat even the two senators who thought Senator Allen’s questions went too far have come to regard the questions as a com- mittee interrogatory, because the com- . mittee adopted them by a unanimous Vote. A BOAR FROM THE LION. England Threatens to ‘Vitlrdraw From the Concert of the Powers. London, May 27.—A dispatch from Athens says Great Britain has declared her intention to abandon the concert of the powers if the occupation of Thes- saly by Turkish troops is prolonged un- til Greece has paid the war-indemnity demanded by Turkey. Constantinople, May 26.—The with- drawal of Germany’s objections to the collective note of the powers on the subject Of the terms of peace between Turkey and Greece was due to the rep- resentations which the powers, espe- cially Russia, made at Berlin. Ger- many, in addition to objecting to Sign- ing the note until Greece consented to abide by the terms agreed upon, ob- jected to the indemnity clause, being Opposed to the principle Of the indem- nity being settled forthwith and on the basis of the present resources of Greece. 'This attitude upon the part Of Germany is attributed to a desire to rearrange the Greek finances in a manner giving better security to the German bond- holders. ' The adhesion of Germany to the ac- tion of the powers in presenting the identical note, which does not admit the Turkish demands regarding the cession of Thessaly or the abrogation of the capitulations in favor of Greek subjects in Turkey, claiming that the payment asked for by Turkey is exces- sive and insisting that the terms of peace be discussed at Constantinople, has greatly relieved the situation. The note, besides proposing conditions for permanent peace between Turkey and Greece, concludes with inviting the porte to negotiate with the embassa- dors with reference thereto. The reply 01' the government of Turkey is mo- mentarily expected. Lascellcs \Veds Again. Fitzgerald, Ga, May 27.—The lucky of Sydney Lascelles has been in the as- cendant since his arrival in Fitzgerald. Lascelles is now receiving congratula— tions on his marriage with Miss Palky of Rhode Island. The bride is 19, and inherited a fortune of $100,000. Lascelles was previously married to Miss Lillien- thal of New York city, who secured a divorce from him after his conviction for forgery. During his stay in New York Lascelles assumed the alias of Lord Beresford. Queen Victoria's Birthday. London, May 27.—The Official celebra— tion of Queen Victoria’s birthday was observed today in London with the usual closing of the courts and govern- ment offices, the ringing Of the church bells, a display of flags, artillery salutes and the ceremony Of trooping the colors on the horse guards parade, in which the colonial troops now in London took part. Although this ceremony was somewhat marred by rain, it was wit- nessed by the usual throngs of people. Robbed and Murdered. Sinclairville, N. Y., May 27.—Axel Lawson, a traveling produce dealer, was robbed and murdered near this Village. His horses and wagon arrived at his home early today. There was blood on the dashboard. His absence and the blood stains caused the gravest apprehensions, and friends at once started to investigate. Just outside of the village the body was found in the road. The skull was crushed and mu- tilated. The pockets were empty. “Plymouth Log” Presented. Boston, May 27.—The Bradford man- uscript history Of the New Plymouth colony, the important document for the possession of which Massachusetts had long been anxious and had made many overtures to those in England, in whose custody it had been, was formally pre- sented to the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts by Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, England,‘ before a joint convention of the legislature today. New York Central’s Bond Issue. Albany, May 27.—The stockholders of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad company met here to- day to provide for the issue of $100,000,- 000 in 3% per cent bonds, which are to be used to refund the present bonded debt of the company bearing a. higher rate of interest. The scheme was sug- gested by the refunding of the bonds of the Lake Shore road, another Vander- bilt line. \Vanted to Kill the Czar. Berlin, May 27.—-The Lokal Anzeigcr Of Aix 1a Chapelle today publishes a dispatch from St. Petersburg saying that a young artisan has been arrested in the park of Tsarskoe-Selo, where the summer residence of the emperor is lo- cated, with a dagger and a revolver in his possession. The prisoner said he wanted to murder the czar, become fa- mous and be hanged like other “heroes.” Captain Pickett the Warden. New York, May 27.—Former Police Captain Patrick H. Pickett was tOday appointed warden of Ludlow Street jail to succeed James W. Roe, removed. Pickett is under a bond of $50,000, and gave as surety Patrick McMorrow and James Fay.
