PROCEEDINGS IN THE CASE
Not since the trial of the famous
Burns will case, three years ago, when
Hon. Charles Patterson sued for the
estate of the deceased. Has a court pro-
cedure in this county attracted such
widespread attention as that held yes-
terday afternoon before Justice of the
Peace Spencer, when Richardson and
Mason were arraigned on a charge of
swindling the New York Life insu-
rance company out of large sums of
money.
The court room was packed, but only
with men, and the evidence presented
was absorbingly interesting.
The proceedings began at 3 and
, lasted until 6, hut it was stated that
at least two more days would be re-
quired to complete the examination of
witnesses. The star witness. Detective
Cray, was not placed on the stand
yesterday, hut was several times called
to the door to shew his face that wit-
nesses might identify him. He fs a
rather keen looking man. but ’haB
somewhat the appearance of a bum
tramp. His head is bald and bis beard
pointed. Gray will take the stand
Monday.
Mason, the compadre of Richardson,
has completely collapsed. He fell
down and writhed in a fit Friday night
when Feldman tried to photograpii
him. He had to be dragged to the
court room yesterday.
Richardson sat quietly and allowed
himself to be photographed. He was
calm and collected when facing nis
accusers In the court room and fre-
quently instructed his attorneys during
the examination.
From the trend of the questions
asked witnesses it Is quite evident
that Richardson will endeavor to prove
that he acted in good faith with the
company, but was himself imposed up-
on and swindled by Mason and Grav.
In that event Mason will be left to his
fate, and It was perhaps the realisa-
tion of this that caused him to col-
lapse.
Removing the Prisoners.
When Deputy Sheriffs Bryant and
Clements called at the countv jail yes-
terday afternoon to convey the alleged
insurance swindlers, Richardson and
Mason, to the court room for their
preliminary hearing. Richardson came
out of his cell smiling and well dressed
hut Mason fell into a violent fit and
floundered about on his bed in such
a manner that the officers were unable
to get him to walk to court.
They left him behind and took Rich-
ardson alone. He wab securely hand-
cuffed and guarded closely. On reach-
ing the court house lawn he was pho-
tographed by a camera standing beside
a tree.
Reaching the court room the hand-
cuffs were removed from the prisoner’s
wrists and be shook hands cordially
with his chief counsel, Charley Pat-
terson.
As soon as he had taken his seat
•Mother, warrant, charging him and
Mason jointly with conspiracy to mur-
der Gray, was served on him.
Proceedings Commenced.
The proceedings were opened by At-
torney Thurmond redding the com-
plaint charging C. T. Richardson and
William Mason, alias Sanguinet, alias
etc., with conspiracy to swindle the
New York Life Insurance company out
of $100.000. ,
Attorney Patterson insisted that
Mason be brought into court or that
the case be continued until such time
as he might be able to appear.
Dr. Vilas stated that he had exam-
ined Mason that morning and thought
he might be removed from Jail. Ac-
cordingly he waa sent for and present-
ly three of four men came in dragging
the wretched looking man up to the
bar of justice. His eyes were wild,
his hair disheveled and he was evident-
ly suffering from serious collapse,
mental anguish and fright
He was placed forcibly in a chair
and held down. Finally, he bowed his
head to bis hands and remained in
that position, the picture of abject
misery, throughout the proceedings.
Seymour Thurmond, J. M. Dean and
Judge McFarland represented the pros-
ecution; Patterson * Wallace the de-
fense. ,r
The First Witness.
The witnesses, a dosen in number.
were sworn In and Dr. Vilas called to
take the stand.
Mr. Dean asked that United States
Consul Mills of Chihuahua, a state wit-
ness be excused from the rule. A tilt
followed between Dean and Patterson,
which demonstrated the bitter feeling
already engendered.
Colonel Mills was allowed to remain
In the court room and the examination
of Dr. Vilas In reference te the $100.-
000 policy proceeded.
The star witness. Detective Gray,
was brought in and the doctor asked
to look at him. He did so and the
witness retired.
Dr. Vilas stated that Gray had been
brought to his office by Richardson to
be examined for an insurance police.
"By what name?”
"Marshall Sanguinett,”
Gray alias San guinett was intro-
duced by Richardson and examined by
the physician. No one else was pres-
ent. It was on October 30.
(The application was produced and
identified by the witness.)
Cross examined by Charles Patter-
son, witness said that Mason was
not present when Sanguinett. or Gray
was examined. Gray talked much
while being examined physically. He
had said there was no other person
by the name of Sanguinett In the
United States. Gray signed the ap-
plication In the presence of the phy-
sician and there was no inducement
offered him to get him to sign, how-
ever. he had been brought there by
Richardson.
(During the examination Richard-
son consulted the statutes of Texas
and conversed frequently with his law-
yers.)
Dr. Wright.
Dr. M. O. Wright, the next witness,
testified that he had been called to the
Sheldon hotel to examine Sanguinett
for a policy. Richardson tame to his
office and asked him to go. Thp ap-
plication was for $100,000 amt witness
remarked at the time that a policy of
that size would require two exam-
iners. Richardson had said that the
party had not1 then decided on the
amount.
Cross examined, Dr. Wright stated
that. Sangninett.had signed the appli-
cation in hi* presence. Mason was
absent when the physical examination
took place, but returned about the
time it was completed.
"Doctor, when you examined this
man Sanguinett, did you take off his
sbirt? * asked Attorney Patterson.
“No; but It was pulled up under his
arms.”
“Did you see the name of ‘Gray’
tattooed on*his back?"
“No, sir."
Dr. Thornhill, a Dallas practitioner,
was next called. He identified Mason
as a man he bad seen in Dallas.
"Did you ever examine him for In-
surance?”
Objected to by Mr. Patterson on the
grounds of irrelevancy.
“If the court please,” said Mr. Thur-
mond, "we will proceed to connect
them up pretty quick. The charge Is
conspiracy and must be proved by cir-
cumstantial evidence.
(Objection withdrawn.)
Dr. Thornhill thereupon testified
that he had examined Mason in Dal-
las for an insurance policy under the
name of J. H. Evans. The witness was
positive of this. No amount was spec-
ified in the policy at the time. Rich-
ardson introduced the applicant and
said he was in the grain business in
St. Louis.
Patterson, Wallace and Richardson
put their heads together and then the
cross examination proceeded.
“Will you swear positively that this
is the man you examined?” asked Mr.
Patterson, waving his cigar stump to-
ward the sorry looking Mason, who
never, up to that moment, had lifted
his head from the table where it rested
on his arras.
“I will, sir,” answered the doctor.
The doctor admitted that he ex-
pected to be paid by the insurance
company for his trip from Dallas and
waa then excused.
A Bank Cashier.
Assistant Cashier Adams of the Dal-
las Exchange bank testified that he
had known Richardson and Mason
since last summer. He knew Mason
under the name of Willis Merldeth,
by which be had been introduced by
Richardson. Richardson had stated
that Merideth wanted to borrow
$8,000 and to give a life insurance pol-
icy as security. He stated that Meri-
deth was half-brother of the policy
holder and the beneficiary. Merideth,
he said, had a deal on in Mexico, and
wanted to leave at once.
“Prompted by friendship for Rich-
ardson,” said Adams, “we consented to
loan the money. Richardson declined
to endorse the of tea. but the policy
was consigned. Richardson stated that
the policy would be paid in fifteen
days. Richardson did the talking and
negotiating for the money. The check
for the policy V $10,000 was banded
me at FOrt Worth. The check was en-
dorsed by Mason, aliaB Merideth. In
my presence at the hotel counter in
Fort Worth, The bank placed the en-
tire sum of $10,000 to his credit and
he handed us a check for $8,000 to re-
pay the loan. The balance was
checked out. The policy was for $10.-
000 and on the life of James Devers.
Richardson told me that Merideth
was Devers’ half-brother."
(Devers was one of the meh who
died under suspicious circumstances
at Chihuahua.)
The policy was introduced In evi-
dence. It was issued in January, 1902,
and a receipt for the money was at-
tached thereto signed by Willis Meri-
deth. The signalnre was identified bv
the witness as that of the defendant at
the bar, Mason.
The witness Identified the signature
of Richardson, signed to a document,
and was excused without cross exami-
nation.
Hamilton Cook, of the New York
Lite Insurance company from Dallas,
testified that he knew C. T. Richard-
son and met him September 20, of this
year, at Hot Springs. Ark.
“I met a man there by the name of
W. Manning,” said the witness. I was
introduced to him by Richardson.
That is the man there,” pointing to
Mason.
Cook also stated that he had been

New York, Nov. 8.—Two men lost
their lives and two boys narrowly es-
caped a similar fate during a fire
which communltoted from the suhwav
to the mailing1 ahd press rooms in the
cellar of the New York Times building
today. The dead are John Daly and
William McCormack. The hoys', who
were partially suffocated and are now
tn the hospital, are John Powers and
Meyer Fishbone. The men and boys
were overcome by smoke in a small
room used for mailing purposes In
the front cellar, close to where the fire
started. The fire originated in the ex-
plosion of a gasoline lamp burning on
one side of a wofiden partition separat-
ing the Rapid Transit subway from
the cellar of the! building. The parti-
tion, which was hovered on both sides
with tarpaulins, blazed fiercely, get-
ting fire to a tank containing printing
ink. which speedily ignited and gave
forth dense clouds of smoke that very
soon filled the cellar and rolled up the
elevator shafts. The fire was extin-
guished tn fifteen minutes. The dam-
age was confined to the cellar, and I*
estimated at $6,000.
ROCK ISLAND EXTENSION
MORMON PLEDGES VIOLATED
Salt Lake, Utah., Nov. 8.—Apostio
Reed Smoot, candidate-of the Mor-
mon church for it seat in the United
States senate, and accused of being a
polygamist, has won his fight at the
polls. He announced today that he
would brave any possible opposition
like that which kept Brigham H. Rob-
erts out of congress, and, would de-
mand his seat In the senate.
Plans are already being laid by
ministers of Salt Lake and others to
oppose his admission to the senate.
While the returns are not com-
plete,” said Apostle *Smoot today,
“there appears to Ire no doubt of the
election of men who will sustain my
candidacy."
"If the attacks on you by reason
of your ecclesiastical position arc-
kept up by the notional press, would
that In any way influence you to
Withdraw from the race?”
"No!" was the emphatic reply. “1
am an American citizen, and know of
no reason why I Bhould not be
elected."
His Election 8eems Certain.
Present Indications are that the re-
publicans will have a majority of
thirty nine on Joint ballot in the leg-
islature. A majority of the republican
candidates were pledged to Smoot be-
fore they were nominated.
Some of the successful candidates
and five of the holdover republican
senators are strongly opposed to the
election of any high church official to
the senate, and they may refuse to go
into caucus. Apostle Smoot told some
friends before the election that he
was prepared for just such an emer-
gency and that the church would
force enough Mormon democrats to
vote for him to secure his election,
provided there was a serious defection
among the* republicans.
The Salt Lake Ministerial associa-
tion, which started the fight on Rob-
erts, has had the Smoot situation un-
der consideration at several meet-
ings. It has been decided to infor-
mally adopt a program similar to the
one followed with success in the Rob-
erts case. The subject will probably
come up formally at the next meet-
ing of th (-association.
May Be ■ Polygamist.
AH through the campaign the state-
ment was jfnade by his adherents that
Apostle Bfnoot was not a polygamist.
Now that the election Is over the
statement is being given circulation
that he actually has more than one
wife. This will be investigated and
the evidence prepared for submission
to the senate if he Is found to be a
polygamist.
Aside from this, the seating of
Apostle Smoot will lie opposed on the
grounds-that he Is un apostle of the
Mormon church; that an apostle must
be a polygamist; that he believes In
polygamy and has advocated It; and
that by his oath as an apostre he is
sworn to give allegiance to th© Mor-
mon church before the constitution
and government of the United States.
As a condition to giving statehood
to Utah the Mormon church gave a
solemn pledge not to influence in any
way its members in casting their bal-
lots. In this campaign the pledge has
been directly violated. ,

Chicago, Nov. 8.—The Brotherhood
of‘Hallway Trainmen voted today in
favor of a strike in case the railroads
In the Chicago district shall refuse an
increase of more than 2 1-2 cents per
hour tn wages! Although the brother-
hood voted for the strike, its members
are not likely to quit work. Before
the vote was taken some of the rail
road managers hud announced that
greater increase of wages would
allowed the men than that at first of-
fered. It is probable that as soon as
th* result of the vote Is announced
another conference will he held. At
this conference it Is expected that, an
Increase of 4 cents an hour will
offered and that Ihis offer will be at:
tepted.
In a statement Issued tonight Frank
T. Gave ley grand master of the
Switchmen's Colon of North America,
which Is not affiliated with the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen, states
That members of bis organization had
voted to accept an increase of 3 1-2
cents for foremen and 2 12 cents for
helpers. He slates further that mem
tiers of his union will not.be drawn
into any strike which the brotherhood
may* Inaugurate. The Switchmen's
Union of North America claims
membership of 1,180 men in Chicago
and this membership alone would give
the railroads a fair working force in
the event of a strike of the brother
hood men. Grand Master Hawley, in
the statement, charges thf brotherhood
with encroaching on the field of his
union in assuming to include switch
men In the demands for a further In

NEW VAULTING RECORD.
St. Louis, Nov. 8.—After repeated
attempts at the Horse show tonight,
during which the rider was thrown
twice, irat not Injured, the Jumping
Pony Kruger vaulted a six-foot hur-
dle, establishing a new world’s record.
Boston, Nov. 8,—-The strange case
involving the murder of two young
women, Agnes McPhee and Clara A.
Morton, and the murderous assaults
upon many others was a step nearer
solution today, for late tonight the po-
lice were given custody of the yotlng
man who sold or pawned the watches
taken by the so-called “Jack the
Slugger,” from the bodies of the vic-
tims. The person tn custody Is a light-
complexloned negro, 18 years old. The
name given is George I* Pearry. He
confessed that he bad secured the
watches which he sold from a r.utn in
Central square, Cambridge. He has
given the name of this man to the
police, but later tonight he refused to
state whether or not he gave the name
of Allan Q. Mason, a prominent busi-
ness man now under detection at the
Middlesex county Jail, Cambridge, on
the charge of having murdered Mias
Morton,
The arrest of the negro will do much
to dear Mason of the charge now
lodged against him. Developments
during the last two days have already
created a doubt In the minds of many
as to his guilt and though he Is still
detained by the police he is now- re-
gauted as being practically vindicated.
The murder of Miss Morton and the
arrest of Mason for the crime has cre-
ated a aenaation among the moat ex
elusive circles in Boston, where Mason
Is a prominent figure. He has the en-
tree to the most exclusive circles In
the Hack flay district and belongs to
several prominent clubs. His Implies-
lion in the murder at Wavcrley has
teen hrought about through a chain of
circumstances {hat read like a ro-
mance. Ordinarily there could have
teen no connection between Mason
and Miss Morton and he waa not. con
sidered a brutal man among his tieao
elates. Should lie prove, however, to
be the guilty man the case will bring
up another Interesting study in crim-
inology. Mason's training through life
lias been of the kind to foster gentle
Instincts and Just why he, should di-
verge so widely from his early pre
eepU can not be determined.
Some are inclined to the opinion
that the case offers just such a mys-
tery as was brought about In the fa
mous Jack the Ripper cases In the
Whitechapel district of London about
ten years ago. No solution ha* ever
been found for the secret of those re-
volting murders, and while the local
police claim to be following clue*
which will eventually bring the real
criminal in the Wavcrley cases to
light, it is plaid that they are baffled
and are merely searching In the dark
In the hope of finding the guilty per-
son or person*.
, "It is discreditable and even dis-
quieting to dtacover that Tammany
Hall, so often reported struck down
with a mortal blow, I* more vigorous
aiul aggressive than ever.”
