District Attorney Martin of Bronx County will continue his in- vestigation of the cage to-morrow ‘ant, Seymour Mork. “After talking with Mors for three hours yesterday,” said Mr. Mork to- day, “I'am convinced that the man did not wilfully kill anybody. He had a mania for fooling with medicines and treating sick people. I think he killed hie old charges by experimenting with them.” Mora shows great willingness fo talk about the crimes he charges himself @hloroform. It ig easier to put peo ple out of misery that way.

GOURT EXONERATES LAWYER FROM ALL BLAME, “I have therefore concluded in this case to discharge you from further consideration of the case and to de- clare a mistrial for the reagon which I have mentioned to you. The case is going to be sent to the foot of the calendar. “I ought to say, in justice to Mr. Crowley, who is the attorney for the plaintiff, that I am absolutely satis« fled he had no part whatever in thew statements to the press, and I would not have you, therefore, suppose that in any way his professional conduct Ww in the least affected. “I therefore will thank you for your labors, I am sorry they have come to nothing. I hope you will appreci- ate there are substantial reasons why you cannot go any further with the case. I hope you will also go to your homes with the indignation that I feel that such things should be possible in the City of New York.” As the jurors filed out, young Kleist, whose talk had upset his hopes of a mpeedy verdict against his father-in- law, stood gloomily by the rail. When his lawyer, Mr. Crowley, spoke to him, Kleist exclaimed: “This is rot- ten! I'd better get out of here, I'd better get out’ of town and go back home. The whole case sickens me!" BREITUNG SAYS N HURT HIS CA!

Mr. Breitung said nothing. Mrs. Kleist smiled embarrassedly, but w:s also silent. FOREMAN OF MINE TESTIFIES FOR BREITUNG. Johns was the first witness in Breitun, defense to-day. Johns was foreman of the Alberta mine, to hich Mr. Breitung sent Kleist to ake good for six months,” after he had admitted he had married Jullet. It was in this employment, Kleist described it on the witness stand, that bis life was jeopardized by hard work. and the handling of deadly dynamite, lelst worked under me for ten weeki testified Johns. “He was a general roustabout. He drove a team and worked at building a road.” | “Was it any part of his duty to carry dynamite?" “y It contained 35 per cent. of nitro-glycerine, It is not dangerous without a detonating cap.” Q. Did you ever know it to be dropped? A. Yes, often. $ we it go off? A. Never, Q. Was there any danger to him in road building or mucking? A none. It was at Kleist’s own request, Johns said, that he put him at work “single-, Jacking” after he had two months’ experience. This meant he went down into the mine with a ham- mer in one hand and a steel drill in the other, He drilled holes but was ordered not to load them, “Would it not have been dangerous for him to handle the dynamit asked Mr. Crowley, Kleist’s lawyer, on cross examination. Not especially,” Johns replied. Or- inarily, after a man has been learn- ing for two or three da: he can load the holes he drills. That's the risk any man takes. But I kept a good, competent, experienced man with him all the time.” Q. Did he carry dynamite over a trail with snow and ice on it? A. Yes. He carried it in an ore sack, Q. Suppose those sticks of dynamite had caps on them as he carried ‘them: A. But they hadn't They never had. Q. But suppose they had caps and he dropped them, wouldn't they go off? A.

A vigorous old man with gray hair and a gray beard laughed aloud to- day when he was lined up before the detectives at Police Headquarters and recognized by Detective Waiter Will- {ams as Bill Coleman, a celebrated sneak thief who began a life of crime more than fifty years ago and has spent nearly thirty years in jails and prisons, . Coleman is seventy-one years old. “I almost put it over on you boobs,” chuckled the old man. “It was only | by a chance that you nailed me.” Coleman with the aid of the crooked handle of an umbrella stole a package from a Wells, Fargo money wagon in front of the National Park Bank in Broadw@y, near Fulton Stre on Feb. 6. The package contained can- celled checks that had represented $1,000,000 when they were good, The driver of the wagon saw the theft and chased Coleman into the arms of @ traffic policeman. As the bundle Coleman: tried to steal was practically valueless a petit larceny charge was made against him and he was sent to the Court of Spe- cial Sessions, In the mean time his fingerprints were sent to Police Headquarters, Coleman was last arrested in this city in 1903 before the finger print system was inaugurated, so there was no record of him at Headquarters. When he was arraigned in court he made such a strong plea for mercy that the Justices adjourned his case and asked a probation officer to look him up. Coleman refused to give any ad- dreas, saying he did not want his poor old wife to learn of his disgrace, The probation officer, unable to find out anything about the old man, sent him, to the line-up to-day to be looked over by the detectives, In 1903 Coleman robbed the home of Mrs. Ambrose Clark in Coopers- town of $10,000 worth of fereiry, which he brought to the apy mon buried in Van Cortlandt Park. tec- tive Willlams was one of several d|sleuths who caught him digging up hands, but thought ‘that might have happened. He did not pears ot him hurting his hand with a sledge hammer. Q. If he struck one of the sticks of dynamite with his sledge, would it go off? A. It might, I suppor Tt would depend on how hard he hit it. —___.—_— Fall Mille New Jersey Politician. (Special to The Evening World.) NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 12.—George W.
