J., Case. SOMERVILLE, N. J, Nov. 10.—An in- teresting legal question is a sequel today iof the autopsy performed last night on e body of Robert Simpsop, the hypnotie #tudent whom Arthur Everton, a hypnotist, falled to restore after placing in a trance. The autopsy disclosed ihat Simpson's death was due to a rupture of the aorta. To just what measure of responsibility, it any, Everton will finally be held by the law s & question which is puzsling the legal experts. The prosecution of this dis- trict {8 credited with the intention of hold- ing Everton on a technical charge of man- slaughter untll his case can be passed upon by the grand Jury next month. The autopsy last night was delayed until a professional hypnotist had had an op- portunity to make one last effort to restore life. There was not the slightest response and the examination showed that death had resulted as the collapse of tie rigid state In which the hypnotist had placed him.

SINGLE COPY TWO E,;l‘.NTS‘ IBRYAN CONFERS | WITH DAHLMAN Democratic Platform for Next Year Subject of Session to Which Governor is Not Invited. SCHEME T0O GET WETS AND DRYS Shallenberger for Closing Law, Bryan | Formerly for Stricter Rule. POSSIBLE DEAL WITH LIBERALS | Peerless One Said to Be Willing to Compromise for Senatorship. SLAP AT THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE His Proposal of Ex-Governor Francis of Missourl for President Ev dently Not to Liking of Mr. Bryan. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 10.—(Special)—W. J. Bryan held a conference at the Lincoln hotel this afiernoon with Mayor Dahlman of Omaia and Judge Edgar Howard of Columbus. Governor Shallenberger was not at the conference. While the read objeet of was not divulged, it is belleved the sub- ect under discussion was a platform for the democratic party to make its campaign on next year. That Governor Shallenberger was not in- vited 0 such a conference is easily ex- plainable, inasmuch as he has already ex- pressed himself on the subject of a plat- form. That took place when C. W. Bryan, speaking for W. J. Bryan, proposed that (he presidential candidate be permitted to write a county option plank and thus make the race for the senate on that | plank, Governor Shallenberger emphatically re- fused. He preferred that the democratic party stand squarely on the 8 o'clock c.0sing law. All the afternoon there was much specu- lation regarding the conference and the | deductions of those who tried to get the facts was that Mr. Bryan was trying to make some pact with Mayor Dahlman and tke oihers who oppose county option rather than forc: them to stand for it. If the democratic convention le county option ouf of its platform and the republicans do the same, then Mr. Bryan could go ahead for the senate advocating county option, and thus while the mayor lined up the liberal element he could line up the tempérance vote, as has been done before. Another reason for the fallure of the presidential candidate to Invite the gov- ernor may be that the govérnor has pro- posed the nomination of former Governor David R. Francls of Missouri for presi- dent. Whether Mr. Bryan took that as a slap at him of course Mr. Bryan has not made public, but anyhow the governor was not at the conference. Late in the afternoon Judge Howard called at the state house and pald his re- spects to Governor Shallenberger. “Everyone knows where I stand on the senatorial matter,” sald Judge Howard. “I am first for Mr. Bryan, and we all are. | But if Mr. Bryan will not make the race, then T am for W. H. Thompson. I make no bones about that, and everyone who knows me knows that.'” The Columbus editor met the governor just as he was leaving the state house, and the two went back Into the executive office for a private conference and to dis- cuss what had been gone over at the Bryan conference.

District Attorney Jerome ap- peared and announced that it was by a mistake that the case was called today and adojurnment ws taken until Monday Hans Neilsen, The exercise of rare skill and coolness on the part of Hans Nellsen, driver of the police automobile patrol, averted a serious accident, which might have meant the in- Jury of several officers early Wednesday morning. The big automobile loaded with officers and detectives was hastening to the scene of the murder of James Gajues, Who was killed at his home, 1716 North Twenty- elghth street. It hummed up Clark street at high speed, making up for an unavoid- able delay in the leaving the station. When the machine was within a few yards of the intersection with Twenty-first street, the much obscured outlines of a house on moving trucks in the middle of the street became visible.

It was up to Hans Nellsen and the brakes. They both worked perfectly—and none too soon. The plunging machine settled under the sudden grip of the brakes and slid ahead. Every passenger shut his eyes and waited. Then the car stopped. The automobile ha yielded to the brakes and stood still, with the hood over the big purring engine pro- jecting under the old house. A big beam extended across the path of the machine and but about a foot ahead.

Liberty from the county jall and, per- haps, freedom from the penitentiary, tan- talized the five alleged bandits on trial for the robbery of the Unlon Pacific mail train, for a few days, but the craft of the law folled the desperate men in their attempt to escape from their cells. Eight steel saws, cepahle .of severing well tempered steel, twanty-five feet of rope and two heavy bludgeoms three feet in length were discovered in the eells of the men Wednesday. A cut in the roof of the cell occupied by Woods had been sawed and only a few Inches more would have given him liberty. Timely discovery of these tools probably prevented a whole- sale delivery, for it wou'd hai been an easy matter for Woods to have liberated his companions and waylaid the two men on watch in the building. The sound of fililng had been heard for several nights and Tuesday night for the first time officers were able to locate It definitely. The sounds came from Woods' cell. Chief Rossiter of the Pinkertons, 4nd Deputy Sheriffs Galloway and Sedin then went in and took two saws from Woods. Two of the saws were found on the per- |ron of Woods early n the morning. In| the roof of his ell a triangular cut had been made and was nearly completed. On top of the cell was found twenty-five feet of strong rope and two pleces of gaspipe three feet in length. In the cell of Torgenson and Grigware were found six saws similar to the ones found in the possession of Woods. Declde on Slow, Sure Way, A small wood handle was also recov- ered. With these Instruments a bar could be severed fn almost no time, but the prisoners had decided upqn a slower but surer method of delivery, through the roof. Investigation is now being made by the sheriff and the marshal. It Is certain the tools were brought into the prison by out- siders. The officials are certain that the men have confederates in the city making a desperate attempt to liberate them. A young woman who has been calling at the Jail under the guise of a religlous worker is under suspicion of alding the prisoners. United States Marshal Warner and Sheritf Bralley will exercise the utmost precaution In thefr watchfulness of the prisoners. They will be kept under the closest survelllance and no one admitted to the corridor of the jall. Marshal War- | ner has made these rules: “A special guard will be Kept in the Jail t all times, heavily armed, to give warn- ing of any susplcious actions, “The prisoners will be carefully guarded enroute to the federal court room. No person will be allowed in the corridor of the federal building. “Each night the prisoners will be stripped and furnished another sult of jail clothing.” Cells Carefully Searched. Torgenson, Grigware and Shelton were together in the bound-over cell some dis- tanc: from Woods' cell. A thorough ex- amination of this cell was made Tuesday night, but nothing was discovered. While the prisoners were in court Wednesday morning a further search of the cell was made and a package of six steel saws were found securely wrapped in paper and concealed in a basket of groceries and fruit that had been sent up to the ac- cured men. A careful search was also |made of Matthews' cell, but nothing could be found thus fay implicating him in the attempted Jall delivery Tuesday night when the men searched before being put back cells Matthews seemed unusually nervous, but Woods, with.his customary gusto, re- marked to the officers searching him: “You are a pretty thorough searcher.” The officers now know what he meant. | Sherltt Brailey Is of the opinion that it | was the Intention of Woods to climb out | through the opening in his cell and then hide behind the door in the dark corridor, and as the night watch approached to lay him out with the plece of gaspipe and ob- were in the taining his keys liberate the other prison- ers. It would then have been easy to go down to the office, waylay the only other man on night watch and thus escape. Tears Mask from Face of Leader of Mob at Cairo Bold Act of Sheriff Probably Pre- vents Lynching of Negro Charged with Murder, ST. LOUIS, Nov. 10.—A ampatch by a staff correspondent of the Post-Dispatch from Cairo, Ill., says: “Two mobs formed at 3 o'clock (hls morning bent on lynching Will James, the negro suspected of murdering Anna Pelley, but were dispersed by Chief of Police Egan and Detective Casey. “A telephone message warned the chief that @ mob had formed at Thifty-fourth and Commercial streets and ‘was starting toward police headquarters, Chlet Egan and Casey started out and came upon a crowd of (20 men at Twelfth and Poplar streets. They were ready to start to the jall. Chief Egan made a wsweech to the crowd, telling them he was not convinced that the negro under arrest was gullty and called upon them to disperse. “Then the crowd began to waver. The chief, approaching the leader, who wore a mask, tore it from his face and ordered him away. The rest scattered. “By that time the crowd from Thirty- fourth street, numbering about thirty, reached police headquarters, but lacked leadership. Chlet Egan talked to them and persuaded them to leave. A force of police was kept on guard unty daylight.” Nine Men Die in Mine Fire Force Vainly Works All Night Trying to Release Entombed Victims of Explosion, WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Nov. 10.—Nine men lost their lives in the fire following the explosion yesterday afternoon in the Auchincloss colliery of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company at Nantico, near here.
