R. Effort May Be Made to Prevent Carry- ing Qut Agreement. Washington, Dec. 23.—Attorney Gen- eral Wickersham will follow up the indictments of officials of the New York, New Haven and Hartford and Grand Trunk railroads with immediate consideration of the question whether civil sujt should be instituted to re- strain the two roads from pursuing their alleged combination in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The question hangs in the balance and ‘the attorney general today indicated that he would give it careful study after reviewing the evidence submitted to the grand jury at New York and after conferences with Jesse C. Adkins, as- sistant attorney general, who has charge of the case. Mr. Wickersham said the indictment represented the unrestrained judgment of the grand jury. The books of the companies, thrown open to the government for examina- tion, did not give evidence of violation of the Sherman law, the attorney gen- eral indicated, and it was with some doubt as to the result that the grand jury inquiry was undertaken. The in- dictments were due largely to the oral testimony of the numerous witnesses which, the attorney general said, had developed more than he had antici- pated.

Indianapolis, Dec. 23.—Four year old Georgle Bernhardt, who was playing in the lobby of the federal building with a toy engine, was made a subject of comment in the argument for the defense before the jury at the “dyna- mite conspiracy” trial today. The boy is the son of William C. Bernhardt, Cincinnati, one of the forty defendants accused od alding the Me- Namaras to blow up non-union jobs. The wives of about thirty defendants, with almost as many children, have been sitting through the trial for al- most three months, and while his par- ents were listening to the denial of the charges of dynamiting, the boy was | romping through the lobby with an early supply of Christmas presents. “If after this long trial you must convict somebody,” said Attorney Wil- liam N, Harding, “don’t convict Wil- liam Bernhardt, for he is an industri- ous iron worker and has a wife to support. He has worked hard all his life and has raised a family. Blowing non-union jobs at night or resorting to violence in a strike is not characteris- tic of a man who raises a family. But, 1 say, if you must convict somebody by the name of Bernhardt, convict his lit- tle hoy. Send the little boy to the pen- itentiary. He might stand i#t, but Bernhardt, with a wife, could not.” Speaking for all the defendants, Mr. Harding referred to letters taken from the iron workers’ international head- quarters in Indianapolis, upon which the conspiracy, was directed through the mail. Mr, Harding said the letters remained in the headquarters for six months after John J. McNamara, the secretary, had been locked up at Los Angeles, and none of the writers of the letters ever went to Indlamapolis to recover them. “Why, after McNamara was arrest- ed, charged with dynamiting, didnt these men rush to Indiauapolis to re- cover their letters?” asked the attor- mey. “The natural move of a guil- ty man would bhe to destroy evidence of his guilt. But these men did not attempt to regain the letters, which remained In McNamara's office unmo- lested until the government took pos- session of them.” Mr. Harding also said the govern- ment for three months had a_tele- phone instrument hidden under Presi- dent Frank M. Ryan's desk at the un- ion office, and had not produced any information secured through the se- cret telephone. Senator John W. Kearn said he would speak tomorrow in defense of Herbert S. Hockin and of Eugene A. Clancy and Olaf A. Tveitmoe of San Francisco. When Senator Kern con- cludes the government is to begin an argument to continue for two and one- | half days. SUFFRAGETTE MARCHERS MAKE HIKE OF SIX MILES. Will Probably Do Six More Today In- stead of Fourteen, as Planned. Upper Redhook, N. Y., Dec. 23.— | Miss Rosalie Jones and her little band of suffragists hiked into this cillage at 6 o'clock tonight after the six mile walk from ‘Rhinebeck. Every member of the “army” professes to be in good marching condition and ready to con- tinue on the way in the morning. The schedule calls for a fourteen mile walk to Hudson tomorrow, but late tonight it was thought the suffragists would walk but six miles to Livingston to- morrow, continuing to Hudson, a dis- tance of eight miles, on Christmas day. All along the country roads to- were cordially greeted and several addresses on “Votes for Women” weer made to good sized crowds in Redhook and also this village.

Yonkers, N. Y., Dec. 23—Several troops of Boy Scouts were requisition- ed today by friends of 15 year old George Young, missing three days, to begin a search for him among woods and cliffs near this city.

IN Victim's Husband Represented Amer- ican Insurance Company—Recreant Husband Vigorously Deunounced. 23.—Mme, Poch, last shot and killed Mrs. Minnie Bridgeman, wife of James E. Bridgeman, an employe of the Paris branch of an American life insurance company, was acquitted in the assize court here today of homi- cide. Mme. Bloch’s Defense. “Mre. Bridgeman betrayed me and robbed me of my husband and of my home. So I killed her.” This was the defense set up by Mme. Bloch. Several dramatic incidents marked the trial today. At one moment the president of the court, Judge Bertu- lus, denounced Mme. Bloch's husband, saying: “Your conduct in this affair is unpardonable.” In Tears While Testifying. Mme. Bloch was a striking figure dreseed in black, and her black eyes and black hair added to the effect. She was accompunied by the engraver, M. Dumoulin, who was a conspicuous figure in the Steinheil case when he assisted Mme. Steinheil in court, and was at that time characterized b some of the newspapers as “the lay man chaplain.” Mme. Bloch, weeping, toid the story of the shooting of Mrs. PBridgeman, explaining that she had been driven to despair and had avenged her love and the honor of her home. Judge Denounces Husband. The judge cautioned the accused that this hardly constituted a sufii- cient defense\for homicide, remarking that he understood the anger aroused in the accused but that he wished to express the opinion that, as far as his years of observation went, he felt confident the wound caused by jeal- always heals. The magistrate continued: “The real traitor and the real felon was your husband. “Yet you gave him all your con- fidence while you killed the woman, who was but his instrument.” Crowd H Husband. M. Bloch, on the witness stand, ad- mitted that he was culpable. As he left the etand hisses were heard from the crowd In the court room, among whom were many American and French soclety people EX- PRESIDENT "CASTRO 18 NOT WANTED HERE. Paris, December who on July 31 Yet Government Officials Doubt Their Ability to Keep Him Out. ‘Washington, Dec. 23.—The coming to America under the name of Ruiz of Ciprano Castro, one-time president and practicvally dictator of Venezuela was today notified to the state depart- ment from the American embassy in Paris. The Venezuelan exlle is aboard La Tcuraine, which is due in New York next Saturday and the state de- partment is confronted with the dis- agreeable question of what to do with him. Castro has been kept under survell- lance as much as possible for the last three years, though now and then he has disappeared from the sight and knowledge of the state department. ‘When it was reported that he had em- berked from France for America last Saturday, at Havre, the officlals were incredulous, and it was only late today that official confirmation was receiv- ed of his sailing. It is tacitly admitted that if Castro is to be kept out of the United States public health laws and regulations, for :there is no legal charge against him that would warrant such action. There the decision of the question as | to his admission probably will be left | to the department of commerce and | labor, which is charged with the con- duct of immigration. Officials of that depatment today said Castro would be subjected to a rigld examination immediately upon | to the country, but no official was pre- pared today to say whether the gov- ernment as a matter of policy: would gu to extremes to keep the Venezuelan hazard a ()mclflls here would not Castro’s guess as to the purpose of visit.
