CODY BLACKMAIL TRIAL
Evidence Shows This Woman to
Have Led a. Conspiracy.
NICHOLS’ TESTIMONY CUT-S
Defendant in the Gould Blackmail Trial
Cross-e xamincd. Prosecution Introduced
Claimed
Church Records ‘Vhich It Is
“'cre Tumpcrd with.
ocs.
Albany, N. Y., Dec. 6,—There was a
crowded court room yesterday at the
resumption of the trial of Mrs. Marga-
ret E. Codv on the charge of black-
maiung the heirs of the late Jay
Gould.
Miss Helen Gould occupied a front
seat in the witness section, and took
frequent notes.
Mrs. Cody, who collapsed on the
stand Friday, appearea to be weak
and nervous when she entered the
court room yesterday.
De Lancey Nicoll resumed the cross
examination. It came out that the
thirteen missing letters which passed
between Mrs. Cody and Mrs. Pierce
were in the prosecution’s possession.
They were read and Mrs. Cody ~was
asked to explain certain statements
they contained.
She persisted in her former declara-
tion that she had nfit known until she
reached Rouse's Point, lthat the name
of‘Mrs. Pierce’s mother was Angel].
Mrs. Cody accounted for her search
into the church records at Champlain
and at Coopersville by saying they
were undertaken to procure, if possi-
ble, 3. copy of Mrs. Pierce’s certificate
of birth.. The priest of the parish ac-
companied her to Coopersville for a
record of.the baptism of one Mary
Jane Brown, daughter of Jay Gould
and Mary Brown, who were married
May 16,1853; and for a record of the
m riage. The priest said he was un-
able: to find anything of the sort.
When the parish records were han-
ded over by Father Constantine to
LawyeggNicoll, the latter, showing the
page containing the record of the bap-
tism of Mary J. Brown, daughter of
Marie Brown and Jay Gould, asked
the defendant if she recalled having
seen itibefore.
She said she did not, but that Father
Charbeneau afterward told her he had
found the baptismal entry.
She told him that she was more in-
terestld at that time in finding a rec-
ord of the marriage.
An examination of the birth entry
as it appears in the parish book of
records, produced at the trial, discloses
that the entry is made with darker ink
than the other entries on the same
page and indicated attempts at eras-
ure.
The prosecution contend that
birth entry was fictitious.
Evidence was put in all through the
morning to indicate that Mrsv Cody
had been the head of the conspiracy
and had actively carried out‘i- plans to
perfect the alleged claim against the
estate. .
Letters were produced indicating that
she agreed to give a large reward to
Mrs. Eckford for testifying to the al-
leged marriage, and that a. sum of two
thousand dollars was promised 'the
priest who furnished the copy of the
baptismal certificate. \

A Severe Storm.
New York, Dec. _6.—Reports from
many points in the eastern and middle
states Show that the storm which vis-
ited rthis locality Sunday night was
very severe, doing even more damage
than that of the previous week.
In many places the wind attained
the proportions of a. hurricane, build—
ings were unroofed or demolished,
chimneys wrecked and telephone and
telegraph lines blown down.
Throughout western New York, Ohio
and Indiana heavy snow falls are re-
ported.
A young woman was killed in Jersey
City by the blowing down of a fence
in the storm. Two houses were demol—
ished and the. roof of one of the City
Hospital wards torn off.
All the incoming steamers from the
south and east report having encoun-
tered unusually stormy weather while
at sea. Some of them which were off
the Hook say that smaller craft which
they found there were forced to seek
deep water and thus escape being
blown ashore.

MEXICAN EMBASSY N’ow.»

Blinister Clayton “71" be Appointed to
the Rank of Ambassador.
Washington, D. 0., Dec. 6.—'Don Ma-
tias Romero, the Mexican diplomatic
representative in Washington, called
at the state department yesterday to
inform the officers there that he had
been appointed ambassador e} :traordi—
nary and plenipotentiary of his govern-
ment.
This elevation of the Mexican repre-
scrrtative to the rank of ambassador
will be followed by similar action on
the part of the United States. Presi-
dent McKinley will raise the United
States In: 5510:: to Mexico to the gre do
01' an embassy and Ministe1 Powell
Clayton will be appointed an ambassa-
. dor.
The elevation of Minister Romeio
gives to the United States six missions
of the highest diplomatic grade.
Less than six years ago there was no
diplomatic representative in the United
States of a higher grade than minis
ter, and this government had no 1co-
resentative abroad of ambassadoriul
rank.
Congress authorized the president to
elevate to the grade of an embassy
such missions of the United States as
were situated in countries which could
give the credentials of ambassador to
their envoys in Washington.
Great Britain was the first to respond
with the appointment of Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the then minister of his
country, -to the rank of ambasSador.
President Cleveland then appointed
Thomas F. Bayard as ambassador to
Great Britain.
The governments of Great Britain,
Italy, Germany, France, Russia and
Mexico now maintain embassies ~1n
Washington.
Senor Romero is the oldest member
of the diplomatic corps in Washington
in point of service.
His commission as minister dates
from March 7, 1882. He returned yes--
terday from a long visit *to Mexico, and
his visit to the state department vas
the first since his reurn to the United
States.

Santiago de Cuba', Dec. 6.-—-Robert P.
Porter, the special commissioner of the
United States to Cuba and Porto Rico,
has returned here from his inspection
of Ithe mines.
He gave a farewell luncheon Sunday

out. It was a most cosmopolitan gath-
ering. and included representatives of
the army and navy, the commercial
and mining industries, etc.
The affair was not intended to
anything more than a social gathering.
but all the party made Speeches. and
although none of the speakers abso-

covered more miles without once leav—
ing the saddle or stopping for a mo-
ment than any other living man.
The record for continuous riding was

SENATOR KENNEY ON TRIAL.
Charges Growing Out oft-he Looting of
the First National Bank of Dover.
Wilmington, Del., Dec. 6.——United
States Senator Richard R. Kenney of
Delaware was placed on trial yester-_
day in the United States circuit court
for the second time on charges grow-
ing out of the looting ,_of the First Na-
tional Bank of Dover by its cashier,
William N. Boggs.
Senator Kenney was last arraigned
on the charge of aiding and abetting
B0" ggs in misappropriating the bank’s
funds last July, and in a. trial lasting
over one week the jury disagreed.
Since then the charge of conspiracy
has been added to the original charge.
The discovery of a. shortage in the
funds of the bank came in.May, 1897,
when Boggs, the cashier, suddenly left
Dover.
The bank was found to have been
plunde1ed of 107,000, or a little o‘o'er
its capital stock.
President Richardson of the bank
came to the rescue and saved the in--
stitution from failure.
Boggs subsequently gave himself up
and admitted his defalcationfat the
same time making statements which
led to the arrest of Senator Kenney
and several other citizens of Dover.
Two of the latter have been convicted
and are now serving terms in the Pen—
itentiary at Trenton.
Boggs pleaded guilty and is awaiting
sentence. i‘~-‘- .415.
The evidence against Senatdr Kenney
deals largely with numerous 'stock
transactions in which he and Boggs
were interested.
During his last trial Senator Kenney
was represented by Senator Gray, his
colleagde in the Senate, and Levi C.
Bird.
Senator Gray is now In Paris with
the peace commission, and elf-Attor-
ney General John Riggs is assisting
Mr. Bird.
District Attorney Vandegrift repre-
sents the govelnment in the prosecu-

ulation of France in 1897 increased
