Walter N. Dimmick, whose trial in the United States District Court on a charge | of stealing $30,000 in gold coin from the cashier's vault of the Mint has been on | for many days. The introduction of evi-| dence was concluded yesterday and the arguments of counsel commenced. A mild sensation was produced in the | taking of testimony when the Govern-| ment- placed Secret Service Agent Burnsi on the witness-stand to detail the prac- | tical confession of Dimmick that he had | stolen the $30,000 and was eager to make” resutution if guaranteed immunity from ! punishment. Attorney Collins, for the defense, made | | mo_objection to the introduction of Burns', evidence. On the contray, he asked that it_be introduced. Burns told of two days' continual deal- | ings with Dimmick aiter his arrest of | the accused man. during which period | the ex-chief clerk of ' the Mint con- stantly asked if he would pe aflowed to go free if he made good the solen money, | or if his friends came to the front with the sum, or the bulk of it. A | Dimmick maintained his usual atti- tude of calmness when Burns gave the | | damaging testimony against him, prob- | ably realizing that it was a question uf! | the jury believing his' denial as against | the accusation of the secret service agent. | When the trial was resumed yesterday | | morning Dimmick again took the - wit- | ness-stand for cross-examination by the | | Government’s attorneys. ‘ Dimmick gave a pracical illustration to the court and, | jury of how he had tied up his private | books with string and paper and carried | | them from the Mint to his home on the | nignt when Witness Miller says he saw | Dimmick carrying a dress-suit case. | Dimmick Denies Confessing. Then Dimmick told of how he stayed at the Mint on many occasions after busi- | nes hours, many times remaining until | midnight. The defendant saig that many | employes of the Mint had worked at! i night during _the early part of last year. | | Once again Dimmick denied that there | | was any truth in the evidence of the wit- nesses who claimed that they had seen | him at the Mint with a dress-suit case, | or that he had carried one on the ferry- boat and train to his home in Oaklana. The Government has contended that | Dimmick carried away the stolen gold in | a dress-suit case early last year, and has | presented many witnesses to strengthen | | this contention. H Dimmick, in cross-examination by At-| { torney Schiesinger, denied that he had ! | ever admitted his guilt to Secret Service | Agent Burns, or that he had asked to be | allowed his freedom if he made restitu- | tion of the stolen gold. i “I told Burns,” sald Dimmick, “that I could not make restitution of money I had not taken, and I would not ask my iriends to do this. I did not ask W. H. Chickering to see Burns and find out what terms the Government would make. 1 only asked Chickering to see Burns in | order to find out what evidence the Gov- ernment_had against me. “Did you ever say to Burns,” asked Attorney Schiesinger, “that if you made good the sum stolen from the vaults that vou ungderstood you would be given your iiberty 7" “I did not,” answered the defendant. Makes Important Admission. Dimmick admitted that in a conversa- tion with Secret Service Agent Burns and District Attorney Woodworth the latter | had said that he would do the best he | could do for him. | “What did that refer to?” asked Schles- inger. Sfhat referred to the general conver- | sation of restitution that Burns was bringing up all the time,” answered Dim- mick. The defendant was then questioned as | to his having the combination of Cashier Cole to the gold deposit vault, but Judge de Haven sustained an objection of At- torney Collins that the gold deposit vault | and its combinations had nothing to do with the theft of coin from the cashier's vault. | | Attorney Collins then called Miss Jen- inie Gustafson and Mrs, Fannie W. Dim- mick to testify that Dimmick had never owned a dress suit case or had brought one to his home in the early part of last | rear. ¥ A humber of witnesses were called by the defense to testify as to the reputa- tion of Dimmick for “‘truth, honesty and | | veracity,” but in cross-examination the | witnesses said that they had not heard of any difficulties that the defendant had | been involved in in Portland, Or. | Chickering Contradicts Burns. | At the afternoon session W. H. Chick- ering was called by the defense. He sald he had known Dimmick for many years, | and at the request of the defendant the witness had called on Secret Service | Agent Burns. | ~ Chickering sald that Burns had told | him that Dimmick had denfed his gulilt and refused to make restitution pt money he had not stolen. | On cross-examination Chickering ex- plained that he had called on Burns at | Dimmick’s request in order to see what | the Government intended to do in the | case and what evidence they had. Witness was asked as to certain statements made to him by Burns, but denied that any | such assertions had been made by the | secret service agent. = Mrs. L. J. Perry, a lodging-uouse keep- | er at 483 McAllister street, testified that ; Dimmick had never roomed at her house and that a dress sult case had never been delivered there, as claimed by the prose- cutfon. The Government then introduced evi- dence in rebuttal. Lewis Brown testified to selling a dress suit case at a Market | | street store ear:{ in March or February of last geur, and said that a young man “named ilverstein had delivered it to a | lodging-house in the 400 block of McAl- lister street. G. L. Metcalf, doorkeeper at the Mint, said that in January or February of last year he saw Dimmick putting on a dress suit while in his office at the Mint, and that the defendant had an open dress suit | case on the table. Witness said that Dimmick had asked him how the sult et P 1d 1 ¢ aptain zgerald, vault man af Mint, denfed that Cashier Colo e any occaslon snatched a gold b: Huck, as testified to by Dimmick, O™ & Locksmith Ryan testified that he had RRRERERE KRR ERRRRR RRRRRE RERRRRR TR { changed the combinations on all the vavlts of the Mint in January, , and that no part of the timelock was missing, as claimed by Dimmick. | Tells of Dimmick’s Confession.

Ml‘.)r. Deuntzer also ridiculed the fear of the opposition that the United States Congress might refuse to appropriate $5,000,000 to purchase the islands, contro- Verting the arguments against the treaty because it did not confer citizenship and free trade on the islanders, pointing out that the Danish constitution does not ex- | tend to the islands, and Denmark does not enjoy free trade, while, he added, a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States insures the islands im- mediate free trade with the TUnited States.

I told him he was arrested on three charges of embezzle- ment and that each was as serlous as the rob- bery of the $30,000 one. I told him that if he made restitution of the $30,000 or as much of it as he had that the Department of Justice would probably deal leniently with him. He did not answer me and then I told him that if he thought I was trying to trick him into a con- fession 1 would pledge myself not to use in evidence any part of the conversation between us. We talked for an hour and then Dimmick said to me: ‘‘Do I understand you to say that it 1 make restitution of the $30,000 I am to B0 L him no; that he would have to plead guilty and take whatever penalty the courts fight infiict. I told him that he had better send o friend or a lawyer to see me, one' who Would not take what was lett of the $30,000, and asked him if he had such a'friend. He sald he had.

BRUSSELS, April has responded to the petition of the Chamber of Commerce, asking for his in- tervention in the present crisis, in a con- ciliatory but non-commital manner, in- timating that the Government is carefully considering the situation and can be de- pended upon to loyally maintain the con- stitution and fulfill its duties by adopt- | ing the policy which it deems most useful | for the well-being and tranquillity of the | country. There was a general suspension of work | this morning in the factories and coal | mines of Liege. The recent strike riots had an echo in | the Thamber of Deputies to-day when | the House by a vote of 75 to 30 rejected an interpellation of Mr. van Langendock (Socialist) on the subject of the killing of rioters by civil guards at Louvaix (four miles from Brussels) April 16. The ques- tion precipitated an angry discussion be- tween M. van Langendock and the Min- ister of the Interior, M. de Troose. The former characterized the action of the clvic guards as ‘‘cold-blooded murder.” The Minister quoted his official reports, | asserting that the military acted purely in self-defense. Eight members ab- stained from votin; REBELLION IN CHINA IS GAINING HEADWAY VICTORIA, B. C., April 22.—R. W. Lit- tle of the North China Herald, who ar- rived by the steamer Empress of China to-day, says the rebellion in Kwangsi is far beyond the power of the Government troops to suppress it. Marshal Su has only 4000 troops to dispatch against th rebels and it is unlikely that the Viceroy: of other provinces will aid him. Th north does not help the south in China, nor do the provinces In the north help each other. The most that can be looked for from their rulers is to guard their own borders. Strict censorship is now being main- tained in Canton, and the tendency of the officials is to bellttle the rising, the only news of which can be obtained from ref- ugees. The Government forces were di- vided, 1000 being sent under Admiral Ching by the river route, while 3000, un- der Marshal Su, went overland. These forces, weakened by heavy desertions to the rebels, were defeated and were await- ing reinforcements. The Canton correspondent of the China Mail says: According to the Chinese, the province of Kwangsi is practically in the hands of these lawbreakers, but there does not appear to be any good reason for looking upon these men as actuated by volitical motives. It is question- able if the troops sent by the Government are at all able to do the work of restoring order, and if the rebels take to guerrilla fighting a ,000 men will be needed. ADVERTISEMENTS.

General Wood says - he pardoned Reeves because he was a witness for the state. The order pardoning him did not come as a surprise, for it has been gen- crally understood, ever since Estes G. Rathbone was first accused of connection with the postal frauds, that Reeves had been promised immunity by the military government. This had been denied, as well as the fact that the Government had been using Reeves as a witness for the state. The matter was referred to by counsel for Rathbone in summing up .their client's case. Rathbone’s lawyers de- clared that this promise of immunity had influenced Reeves to make statements against Rathbone. Bazaar for Welsh Church.
