It was in this large room, per— haps, that he locked the six prison- ers. In the rooms were beds for each of the prisoners, while at one end was a table upon which “trusties” will set their meals three times a day. A bath room adjoining the room will be used by the prisoners exclusively. Four large circular windows open to the south and west, giving excellent views of the front bullding: In fact, so pleasant had the prison- ers found the quarters that Captain Shipp sent his attorney, Major CIift, to the office of the supreme court to withdraw a request he made when sen, tence was imposed, to be sent to the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., instead of to the-jail in this city. Calls from Tennesseans. During the afternoon the six men received calls from Tennesseans and others. Sitting on his straw bed, half reclining on hfl pillow of straw, Cap- tain Shipp made this statement: “We are very well pleased with the treatment given us by Warden McKee and are delighted with the quarters assigned us. A few hours in jall made Gibson rem- iniscent. He told his companions that this was not the first time that he had been in prison in Washington. “But the other time I was brought hu‘rde as a confederate prisomer,” he said.

Strickler, the pres- ent first reader and opponent of Mrs. Augusta F. Stetson, deposed from that position, adjourned without taking ac- tion. This is_tantamount to an en- dorsement of Strickler and a negative rebuke of Mrs. Stetson, who was clos. eted for six hours with the trustees of the mother church in Boston, to- day, on charges of “mental malprac- tice.” Whatever be the outcome of the Boston hearing, leaders here say that the Strickler incident is closed and that no action will be taken om the allegations that it was he who ac- cused Mrs, Stetson and instigated the present controversy. Mr. Strickler nimself presided at the meeting to- day and a clash between the Stetson and anti_Stetson factions was expect- ed until Mrs. Eddy's letter, addrassed to the board of trustees, was read. It sa “Brookline, Mass, Nov. 13, 1900 “In _consideration of the present momentous question at issue in First Church of Christ, Scientist, New York city, T.am constrained to say—If T can settle this chureh difficulty amicably by & few words—as many students think I'éan—I herewith = cheerfully subscribe these words of love. I ad- vise you with all my soul to support the directors of’ the mother church and unite with-those in vour church who are supporting the mother church directors.” Mrs. Eddy's own signature was af- fixed to the foregoing. After it had been read, Bdwin F. Hatfield, chair- man of the board of trustees, said sim- ply: “Mrs, Eddy's word is law with and adjournment was taken. BOYS STOLE LOCOMOTIVE.

Upon finding themselves alive the morning, they prepared to renew r attempt to kill themselves. They discussed their plans for several days And came to the conclusion that a larger dose of the drug was necessary. Reid had the vial refilled in this city, and the couple spent their last money in decorating their death chamber with fresh white flowers. They made up a potion in the same cocktail glasses as before, clinked the glasses in a last toast, drank the contents and went to bed to sleep. The girl never awoke. Reid was saved last Saturday by prompt medical attention. - Had Used Money Belonging to Employer. This afternoon it was decided that his brain had sufficiently cleared for him to be brought to a hearing to de- termine if. he should be charged' with murder. Under examination Reld, ghastly, white and emaciated from the effects of the drug, told the story. He denied that he handed the poison to the girl. He said he helped himself, and she did the same. As a result of the story told by Reld, the police be- lieve that he was prompted to attempt his life by remorse and because he had used money belonging to his employer. This money, according to Reid, was to be used in paying workmen uwder him in Cleveland, & dozen of whom were to each receive a week’s pay. This state- ment of Reid’s is in a measure sus- tained by inquiry made by the police. Employers Ready to Take Reid Back. Hig employers have notified the chief of police of Washington that they are ready to take Reid back, if he cares to come, and they will send him a tick- 1t 1 carry- him' to Cleveland. Mean-'| while Reld will be held under the technical charge of ‘aseault -until the police clear up a few points on which the man has said little or nothing.

Reld_was taken from the hospital in an ‘ambulance;, and had to be carried by attendants into police headquarters as he was too weak to stand. THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

BIG FOUR RAILROAD TREASURER INDICTED. Full Amount of the Defalcation Will Never Be Known. Cincinnati, Nov. 15—Charles L. Warriner,’ formerly local treasurer of the Big Four railroad. was indicted to- day on charges of grand larceny and embezzlement fn the amount of 5,000 on each count. While $643.000 is known to have been stolen from the railroad. it developed foday that the company’s cash books prior to 1905 have disappeared and that it will never be possible to tell the full amount’ of the defalcation. The comparatively small amount on which Warriner was indicted ,repre- sents the latest known theft Amazing figures were presented to- day showing the progress of the thefts for the last five years. The shortage thus estimated amounts to something more than $58.000 for 1905; 1906, and 1967 and to $62,000 in 1908, and $83,000 in 1909. The total for five years reaches $322,000. Of this sum Warriner says he paid $400 a month to eac hof two persons in the form of blackmail. The rest, he alleges, he lost in speculation, try. ing to replace his thefts. The most interesting person to ap- pear before the grand jury today was Mrs. Jeannette S. Ford, whose con- nection with the case is still shrouded in mystery. Mrs. Ford declared she said nothing to the grand jurors be- yond the indefinite statements which she has already made public. After the grand jury had adjourned for the day. Prosecutor Hunt an- nounced that Warriner would be sum. moned as a witness to testify against the persons whom he accuses of black- mail.

Somic of the bodies lie burled beneath thousands of tons of earth which caved in upon them and it is doubtful whether many of the bodies can ever be recovered. This was the opinion expressed to- night, when rescue work was tempo- rarily abandoned. Fire in the mine, which broke out with renewed fierc ness early today, made further de- scents by rescuers impossible. Fans employed in an effort to carry fresh air and life down to the im- prisoned men only served to enliven some embers which sprang into flames. Soon the heat and smoke became so dense that it was necessary again to seal the mouth of the hoisting shaft, and tonight the men down the whatevér their condition, are locked in as effectually as in a dungeon Attempts to Take Out Bo: Made Today. Whether attempts to take out the bodies will be made tomorrow depends on the condition of the internal fire. 1t is possible that ccarbonic acid gas will be forced to the bottom of the mine tomorrow to choke the flames. It was sald tonight that 300 coffins have been ordered. Half of them will arrive tomorrow and half the foll Tug day. Meantime several score nurses who were rushed here look forward to no prospect of heroic work In reviving injured men.
