Koutnik Tells of a Man ‘Who Asked to Take a Package to Cornish. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—Interest in the Adams poisoning cases centered at police headquarters to-day. A story was cur- rent that George W. Koutnik, a young man living in Hoboken, N. J., had fur- nished one of the missing”clews to- the police. He said to the police that on the evening of December 23 he had met a man at Madisdn avenue and Fortieth street, who asked him to deliver a package ad- dressed to Harry Cornish at the Knicker- bocker Athletic Club. This he refused to do, he said, but agreed to mail the pack- | age at the General Postoffice, which he did. According to his story thé man from whom he received the package answered the description of one of the men promj- nently mentioned in the poisoning case. This afternoon Koutnik was taken before Chief Devery and Captain McCluskey, District Attorney Gardiner and others at police headquarters, and after the confer- ence Chief McCluskey said that Koutnik had practically repeated the story to the officiais as he had originally ~told it. Koutnik was thereupon detaine ness In the case. George W.

They had for some time past ut unloaded cartridge shells in the gun, Smpped a marble in the muzzle, and the older boy would explode the primer. 1nis had just enough strength to send the mar- ble a few would catch it in its flight. They were to have performed the trick to-day, but the cartridge in the gun. which they sup- osed to be empty, proved to be loaded. &'hen the gun was discharged the load of powder and shot took effect in the young- er boy’s head, shattering it in a horrid manner. Death was almost instantan- eous. e A Knife-Wielder Slain. ARDMORE, I. T., Jan. 20.—In a quar- rel over a trivial matter John Edwards shot and killed Richard McSwain.

DAN BURNS URGES WRIGHT TO RESIGN Man From Mexico. Has Troubles of His Own Without: Sharing the Disgraced Speaker’s. MIDNIGHT CONFERENCE The Oft-Purchased Legislator Withholds His Is Likely to Decision, but Follow This Course. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 20.—Howard 'E.. Wright returned to this city to-night. He went to Winters yesterday afternoon. where his wife is temporarily sojourning. At Winters he was t° guest of Hart| North, ex-Assemblyman, who served in | the Legislature two years ago. ‘When Wright boarded the train at| Davisville this evening - to return to Sacramento he had not made up his | mind to resign the Speakership of the Assembly. Shortly arter his arrival here he was summoned to the presence of Colonel Burns, and quite a pro- longed conference followed. ‘Wher/ the conference began Wright | was in no frame of mind to listen to the suggestion that it was in his power to render the “organization” a service by resigning. Under the pressure of argument he was persuaded to view the situation in the usly light of facts. The result of the interview was not an- nounced for publication. Various ver- sions are afloat concerning the talk between the Speaker and the Colonel. Judge Dibble, who was consulted re- garding the peculiar situation. posi- tively declined to s: a word concern- ing the course which Burns has decid- | ed to pursue. The fact is Burns told ‘Wright that he could not afford to sus- tain him. “I have all I can:do,” caid the Col- | onel, “to take care of my'own.fight, and at the present time cannot take your fight on my hands. I cannot af- ford to be denounced from every pulpit in the State and c: 1demned by the peo- ple for upholding everything and every- body.” Wright left the Golden Eagle Hotel immediately after the interview. He went to his room to get a night's rest. Actions which sometimes speak louder | than words indicated that he was fully conscious of the fact that he could not expect sympathy and support from the Burns following in the Legislature. ‘Wright may decide before morning to tender his resignation, but before the | decision is finally announced he will confer with many of his former friends to ascertain-to a certainty what course | they intend to adopt. In his mind there | is a lingering hope that sympathy for a young man may save him from the disgrace incident to deposition from the Speaker’s chair. Before the interview with Burns took place Wright was met at the depot by several of his close friends. Their friendship of the past had been so close and intimate that they deemed it their duty to advise Wright as to his future | course. They went over the cround | with the Speaker and advised him to write a letter to the Assembly, tender- | ing his resignation and demanding that | it be accepted. It was suggested that | Wright, in this letter, should present his own views to the Assembly and to | say in conclusion that he resigned be- ‘ 2y cause he could not conscientiously re- tain the position of Speaker as long as any member of the Assembly consid- ered him guilty of wrongdoing. ‘When the conference wherein Dibble, Burns and Wright participated took place the Speaker was advised that he could promote harmony and hasten the | termination of the Senatorial struggle by resigning the Speakership and tak- ing his place on the floor of the As- sembly. Burns spoke freely on the sub- Ject, remarking that he had alwayvs stood by his frlends, and therefore ad- vised Wright as a friend that the wisest course to pursue was to tender his res- ignation. He insisted that resistance would provoke a long and bitter con- test, which would delay legislation and intensify the existing bitterness, and in the end Wright would gain nothing by provoking antagonism. Wright lis- tened, but was not convinced. He asked more time to consider the proposition, indicating at the close of the conference that he would make known his decision to-morrow morning. To-night the closest friends of ‘Wright believe that he will accept the advice given him by Burns. The few inquiries he has made since the ad- journment of the Legislature yester- day have convinced him that several prominent -members on whose support he counted will vote for the adoption of the report. WILL CALL UP PAST SENATORIAL ELECTIONS CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 29.—Sensational features may mark the debate in the Assembly on the report of the Wright investigation committee. It is said to-day that one of the lead- ing Republicans in the Legislature and an active supporter of 1 an Burns s prepar- ing a speech in which he proposes to re- view the Senatorial campaigns in Cali- fornia since 1880. He may not go back to the Casserly election, when the merchants of San Francisco contributed more than $100,000 for disbursement in the Legisla- ture, but he will begin with a review of the campaign which terminated in the election of General Miller to the Senate, Testimony cannot be, prouuced to show the amount disbursed In afd of Senator Miller's cause, but common report will ba cited to prove that candidates for the | Legislature on the Republican ticket were | materially assisted. Special reference will be made to the Hearst campagn, and the lavish use of that millionaire’s coin to debauch a Dem- ocratic Legislature. It will ~be .shown that Green’s disbursements of money to promote Grant’s chances were but little sprinkles compared with the outpouring of coin then to assist impecunious Demo- crats. Then, the ugly fact will be pre- sented that the Hearst chattels were of the Wright i1k, and would not stay bought after they were purchased the first time, but compelled the millionalre miner to put up the second time to obtain their oval support. . ; The h|'§?nry to be reviewed in the speech ¢ill be carried down to the celebrated Markham campaign- and the deluge of money to promote the re-election of Sen- ERBRIR IR+ R+ B4R+ R ReReRe Lo RNoReRoR +R+RoRe NN+ NoW L3 8 : DEFENDS THE MEN + 2 OF FACILE PENCIL s e T 2 : & Judge Carpenter Declares the Cartoonists & Have Been of Great Service to Him.
