Contends for New Trial on Ground That Jury Did Not Hear All of the Evidence.

NEW YORK. Dec (I—1The argument for a new trial for Albert T. Patrick, convicted of the murder of aged Millionaire William Marsh Rice, was continued today before Recorder Goff. John C. Tomlinson, Patrick's lawyer, asks for a second trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence.

Mr. Tomlinson's main argument was that Jones, Mr. Rice's valet, had confessed to killing Rice, and that all the facts were not given to the grand jury. "We will prove," said Mr. Tomlinson, "that the district attorney guaranteed Jones immunity if he wo(tild tell a certain story. This is contrar** to all law." The. cast went over untii Tuesday morning.

WORKED THE OLD GAME

HARRY CROSSLEY AND HIS WIFE, LAURA.. IN SERIOUS TROUBLE

ROBBED MAN IN' WINE ROOM

Woman Got Money While Husband Intimidated Her Vict.m by Flourishing a Knife.

Laura and Harry Crossley husband and wife, were arrested last night by Patrolman Feiler and sent to jail charged with robbing Homer Smith, an employe of the car works, of $16.45. All save 10 cents of the stolen money was found on the accused, and the police anticipate no trouble in convicting them of the charge. They are old offenders, and last night was not their first work in the hold-up line.

Yesterday was pay day f\t the ear works, and Smith drew a big pay. After settling his- bills he told his wife that he would coine up in the city and invest in some clothing. He purchased a coat and vest, and, having something over $1(5 left, he concluded to go over on the levee and peep in on the gaiety. When at First and Main street he noticed a man and woman walking ahead of him, and noticed the woman stop and the man walk ahead. The woman osame up to him, and, after striking up a conversation, invited him to go in the wine room at the corner of First and Main street and have a glass of beer. Smith consented, and soon he and the woman wcr* in the wine room getting acquainted with eacli other. They sat and talked for some "time, and when the woman raised from a chair, Smith noticed a pocketbook fall from her hand and recognized it as his own. He felt for his purse and it was gone sure enough. He then accused the woman of robbing him, and when she denied it he took hold of her. saying he would search her before she left the room. The woman gave a scream, and as she did so the man who had been walking with her a few moments before rushed into the room from a rear door, and with a drawn knife ordered Smith to release the woman, saying that he should not harm a friend of his. Smith did not like to incur the displeasure of a dangerous looking man with a dangerous looking knife, so he left the wine room. lie related the case to the police, and a few moments later Pntrolrnan Feiler and Marshal Gess of West Torre Haute arrested Crossley and his wife in the wine room where the robbery had been committed and sent them to headquarters. When the policemen came into the station with the prisoners Smith readily recognized the man and his wife as the persons who had robbed him. Crossley was searched and $3.90 of the money was found in his pockets. Mrs. O'Donnell searched the woman at the jail and $12.40 was found hidden in one of her stockings. The money was the same as aescribed by Smith, though they had spent 10 cents of the amount they had realised from the job. They will be given a hearing in the city court Monday morning.

Crossley and his wife are the worst characters the police have to contend with, and are in jail more than half their time either for drunkenness or larceny. Only a short time ago they were held for robbing an old soldier in much the same manner, but the old man left the city before the time came for their trial and they escaped prosecution. They "have been arrested repeatedly for stealing, but by some miscarriage of justice they have managed to escape sentence.

In this case the evidence against them is almost conclusive, and it is believed that they are about at their rope's end.

Homer Smith, their victim of last night's work, is a married man and lives on South Eighth street, near College. When he reported the robbery he said that he was afraid to go home, because he knew his wife "would & mad," and would give him an uncomfortably sultry reception, After the money had oeen recovered he said that as he would get his money back, his wife wouldn't be quite so mad and he would venture •home and take chances.

While the couple were being detained iit the station Perry Ruggles, a lover of the Crossley woman, came staggering in and demanded to know why Crossley and his wife had been arrested and contended that the police had no right to hold them. The argument was short. A policeman seized Ruggrles and he was sent to iail on a drunk charge. Tt is suspected that. Rwgglea may know something about the robbery, as he is always with the Crossleys.

THE SUNDAY TRIBUNE: TERRE HAUTE, IND., SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1902.

POLICE WERE BUSY

The Monotony of the Long Quiet Was Broken Last Night—Will Be a

Big Court Monday.

The long spell has been broken and things were a little livelier in police circles last night. Several arrets were made, and if the business continues there will be an unusually large and interesting police court in the- morning. The ball was started by the arrest of Thomas Lnnning and Thomas Mussey. who were trying to sell a ring to some boys for $1. It is believed they had stolen the ring and were sent down on a dual charge of drunk and suspicion. Ella Ferrell,who was released from jail only two days ago, succeeded in accumulating more of the "ardent" than she could manage, and Patrolman Feiler sent her down. She "will be seen in her old-time specialty Monday morning. Oscar P. Williams and Harry Williams, also overrated their capacity for the mirth-pro-voking extract, and they, too, were filed away in the county jail for future ref-, erence. It was about .11 o'clock when Sergeant Stoecker came into the station leading Dorothy Collins a colored street walker who has been about the city for a few weeks. The sergeant saw her enter Reese's saloon at Third and Walnut street in company with a white man. The man saw the officer coming and succeeded in making his escape. The woman was sent down to jail charged with being an immoral character.

HOTELS' BUSY SEASON

LOCAL BONIFACES SAY BUSINESS \t WAS NEVER BETTER

-SvVP* i'T

STRENUOUS LIFE OF CLERKS

Required to Have Some Detective jl/ ,Ability and Singfe Out the Elusive Hotel Beats.'"*

I W

This is the busiest time of year for the hotel men and local licstelries find the business they ace called upon to take care of about all they can handle this year. The hotel business has its good and bad seasons just the same as other ventures at the service of the public.

July and August are considered the dead months tor the hotel men. Much of the trade comes from actors and traveling men and in the heat of the summer there are few of these vivacious bodies to be seen about the cities. The opera houses are closed and those who entertain during the winter are at some summer resort preparing foir. the season soon to open. There is "nothing doing'' with the traveling men because at that time of year few merchants are buying new stock.

In September the opera houses begin to open and the show troupes again flood the hotels. With signs of cooler weather the travelers begin to hustle realizing that the' early bitd in the merchandise business catches the largest worms in the form of orders. As the winter grows on trade increases up to within a few days of the holidays when the travelers return home to rest after several months of the "strenuous life." Then comes another dull time for the hotel man.

As a rule hotel proprietors cannot complain of having a hard time, although thoy are often compelled to listen to complaints which they know are groundless. It is seldom that anyone tries to beat a hotel bill, although several cases have come to light in Terre Haute. Recently a guest at a local hostelry tried to escape without paying his bill by climbing down the fir(, nsfino Hit he was caught in the act and the police notified. Hotel clerks say it is generally the poorly paid actors and actresses that enter the most complaints notwithstanding the fact that a reduced rate is made to theatrical people.

DO NOT GET ALARMED

If You Read That Prof. Wiley Is Feedin Five Young Men on Poison.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6—Much criticism has-been directed toward Chief Chemise Wiley, for the year's food experiment course he now has under way, with a view of demonstrating the beneficial or injurious effect upon tlj.-c human stomach of borax, sylacyllc acid, etc., as food pruservatives. In replying generally he said: "There seems to be a misconception of the .experiments I'm making with tbo' young men who are eating at the agricultural department. The house seems to think am giving them strychnine sandwiches, and arsenic pie in an attempt to discover the exact dose necessary to kill. As a matter of fact, the chemicals are not particularly injurious to health in small quantities, and any bad results would be quickly noted. I am taking my meals with the party and that is a sufficient guarantee that I am not a Iucretia Borgia. Undoubtedly many of the food preservative chemicals prevent digestion as well and some of them in quantities might cause organic trouble. We art not taking any risks with the young men who are eating our embalming fluid and other persons, and we hope to add materially to thrt scientific knowledge of the world on this subject bjv our experiments."
