The notes of the veneer company were then placed Into the bank in payment for this machinery." TIIC OTHER COMPANIES, lie then took up the organization of the other companies, and explained the!r organization from the standpoint of the defense and endeavored to show that the organizations were legal and honest, and paid particular attention to the "Tufts Cabinet Company," of New York, which was shown on the former trial to have bever been organized. This he explained by Baying: that the drafts on the Tufts company were drawn for shipments to that company when it was expected to organize the company under that name, and that afterwards these drifts were renewed by those of the Indianapolis Office Furniture Company, unler which name the company was organized. Then the United states ?tmc.f urnlture, Company was taken up. fff'v,.

As to the false report?J Le d,d not think the government would be able to show that the Coffins were in any way responsible for them, STATEMENT FOR REED. Lawson M. Harvey then began the statement for Reed specially and said he Indorsed what llr. Winter had said. He said his client entered the employment of the company In July, 1S30, after the line of business and methods of the company had been established. At first he was employed only a few hours each day. Afterwards he was regularly employed as bookkeeper and made such entries In the books of transactions as were brought to him. His work was merely clerical and had no part in the transactions. During the absence of P. B. Coffin, Reed performed his work but had no voice In the management of the concern. Then in about August or September, upon the return of P. ii. Coffin, he was made treasurer of the company. This was simply for convenience so that he could sign papers, etc., without running to the treasurer of the company to have them signed. The office brought him no additional compensation and he had no stock in the company, save the one share of stock that was given him by the company. At the time he was employed by the Cafflns he had no experience in their line of business. Mr. Harvey then gave a brief history of Reed. He was born on a farm In Wayne county and attended Earlham College, at Richmond. He studied medicine for a time and was appointed cadt to the military academy. He afterwards was a drug clerk and purchased the store from his employer entirely on credit. He lost the store through financial reverses, ana became a drug broker and was afterward employed In the money order department of the Richmond postofflce. When he came to thl3 city he was employed by the Western Union Telegraph Company. Mr. Harvey said that Reed's only interest in the cabinet company was his salary of l,r00 per annum at the time of the failure. He said his client never received nor expected to receive one c?nt In dividends on thn one ehare of stock held by him. He said Reed's employment being merely clerical he had ; no way of knowing and did nut know that the company was insolvent. When the paper was taken to the bank lteed had no way of knowing that It was not good paper. Reed was. nominally, an officer of two of the branch companies ami he believed that the paper drawn on these companies by the cabinet company was valid and that the cabinet company was entitled to receive credit upon it. "The evidence will also show,'- he said, "that at the time Reed entered the eminent of the cabinet company it was indebted to the bank in the sum of $273,000, which was secured by mortgage. It will also be shown that he knew of the connection of the company with these branches. He knew that it was difficult to collect money from some of these branches. He knew It was difficult to establish these new houses and he knew It would take some time before it could be expected that the branches could pay promptly all claims as they came due. lie knew enough of these transactions to lead him to- believe that they were honest transactions." Mr. Harvey here, by way of parenthesis, said that he did not wish to be understood to say that they were not, in fact, valid. 'Continuing, he said that Reed knew there was an effort to sell the bonds of the company and that $3,000 of these bonds had actually been sold In London In answer to the statement byMr. Corr that Reed had said he was not a mere figure head Mr. Harvey aid that Reed did not nsk the Coffins what , to do In every transaction, but In many of them did. of his own volition, do the same as had been done before In similar transactions. It was then 1230 o'clock and the court Interrupted Mr. llarvey for the noon recess and court was adjourned till 2 o'clock. t RUTEATIXtt TIIC ISVIDK.CE.

Defense Asnln Attempts to Split ' llnirs on Testimony. At the convening of the court in the afttrnoon Mr. Harvey resumed his statement n behalf of Reed, and spoke Just eight lnlnutei. He said that after the failure of the cabinet company Reed had been employed by the receiver of the company, and cave all the information and explanation of the books that he could, and that it was not untll after his arrest that he refused to talk. As to the transactions which were not entered upon the books of the .cabinet :omrany. Mr. Harvey said It would be ihown that they were entered in the bills payable book, but not fully entered In the books till it was found whether the transactions would be approved by Haughey or not. Then began the Introduction of the evidence for the government for the second time. As upon the former trial, the first evidence was the certified copies of the articles of association of the bank, the cabinet company and its various branch concerns. Mr. Miller, of counsel for the defense, objected to the introduction of the certificate relating to the bank, because in the Indictment the bank was described as the "Indianapolis National Rank, of InJlanapolls, Ind.," while in the certificate It was simply described as the "Indianapolis National Rank." Mr. Miller said he thought the words "of Indianapolis, Ind.," were words of description which could not be omitted. The objection was overruled,, and the record showM several objections and exceptions by each of the defendants. The ame objections were made to ail the In

struments relating to the bank and the j

minute dook or tne mrectors meetings. Charles F. Meyer was the first witness called by the government to testify in the case. He is a cigar dealer at No. 15 North Pennsylvania street. He said he was connected with the bank as director and stockholder for about eight years. HI connection with the bank began in 1S5. He named the other directors during that time as Messrs. Fatterwhlte, Butler, Haughey, Colfax, Moore and Pelrce. He was asked who managed the affairs of the bank, which was objected to by Mr. Winter and the objection overruled. Then Mr. Duncan objected to the question on the grounds of variance between the indictment and the proof on the same grounds as the objection to the introduction of the documentary evidence. Judge Baker said he thought it was hair splitting to hold that the words "of Indianapolis. Ind.," did not refer to the location of the bank, but was part of the name. The question was then read, and Judge Raker said to make it read "Who, as a matter of fact, had control of the affairs .of the bank?" and the witness said Haughey controlled the affairs of the bank. The witness was not cross-examined by the defense. Rank Examiner Hugh Young was called by the government. His evidence was substantially the same as that given upon the former trial, reciting his. visit to this city and taking charge of the bank and examination of its accounts. Its assets consisted mostly of bills receivable, In notes, etc. He said the total amount of cash on hand, exclusive of clearing-house checks, was $12.272.37. In clearing-house checks there was J9.5o2.71. The total indebtedness of the cabinet company and. its branches was $307,b4o.42. He then described the shape In which the indebtedness appeared in the bank. Mr. Miller said he thought the papers showing this indebtedness was the best evidence, but they would not object to the evidence if they were assured by the counsel for the government that it would be followed by the introduction of the paper itself. The assurance was given, and the evidence was admitted. He then described the stormy interview between himself and P. A. Coffin, In which he had called upon Coffin to pay his debt to the bank. During all the time Mr. Young was testifying P. A. Coffin kept his eyes steadily upon him and did not remove his gaze till the witness was turned over to the defense. The witness was then passed to crossexamination by the defense. Mr. Winter had noticed a discrepancy In the footings of the amounts given by the witness, and it was found that Mr. Young had Inadvertently misstated one of the amounts which made the difference. On redirect examination Mr. Young said Coffin said the bonds were in the bank both as collateral security and for sale by the trustee. The government then took up a line of questioning to show that the bonds were never in the legal possession of the bank and always remained liable to "the creaitors of the bank. Mr. Young was then excused and Receiver Hawkins called to the stand. His testimony was substantially the same as before, relating to his appointment and the condition of the bank at the time it was turned over to him. He was asked what was the total face assets of the bank, and an objection to the question by the defense was overruled. He said the total face assets were $2,093,26?, and described in detail of what they consisted and said they were generally worthless. This testimony was objected to by the defense, but was admitted over the objection. He said the total amount of indebtedness of the cabinet company to the bank, as found by him, was $37r,i).50, which, In some Instances, . included unearned Interest. Since taking charge he had collected assets to the amount of $300,000. In answer to questions as to what efforts he had made to collect any of the Indebtedness of the Coffins and the brunch houses he tacitly admitted that he had made no demand for the money, but said he had made inquiries as to their ability to pay and was told they were Insolvent. He said in the paper of the cabinet company there was some paper of the Emerson-Moore Desk Company, of this city, which has since failed, and there was also some paper, about $9,000, of the American Desk and Seating Company of Chicago. He said the EmersonMoore paper was considered to be of some value, and that of .the American Desk and Seating Company was probably worth ten cents on the dollar, lie was asked his opinion as to the value of the claim of the bank against the Wooten eomnany, and said he found $21,579.43 unsecured, and the balance of the $13,000 was marked secured by bonds. He then explained that he could not enforce collection of paper by suit against the cabinet company because It was in the hands of a receiver. The question of hl3 opinion as to the value of the claims against the Wooten company was again put, and he said he considered the secured paper to be worth i0 cents on the dollar, provided the bank could hold the mortgage as against all other creditors of the cabinet company. If the bank could not hull the mortgage the claim would probably be worth about thirty cents on the dollar. He said thl3 valuation would apply to the claims against all of the other branches. At this point the court was adjourned. Before adjourning court Judge Daker announced that hereafter court would probably continue until half past 5 o'clock each day. There was a chorus of remonstrances to this by the attorneys for the defence, who said they had a great deal of work to do outride of the court, and It would make It very arduous for them if the court held this late each day. Judge Baker said there had already been nearly a month's delay in the case, and if they did not now make haste the case would still be on trial when dog days came around. TANK OF 1JENZINK EXPLODE?. Two Persons Lose Their Lives and Three Receive Serious Injuries. NEW YORK, May 2. Two persons were burned to death and three others badly injured to-day In an explosion and fire at the dyeing establishment of C. Jolly & Sons on East Twelfth street. In the basement of the building was a tank of benzine which is supposed to have exploded. In Ave minutes the establishment was In flames. The firemen were for a time prevented from doing effective work by the fear of the explosion of another tank of benzine in the basement. The charred remains of a man and woman were taken out after the fire hed been subdued. They were Identified as Leopold Cheneur and Louise Thoman, employes. Emll Mason was so badly burned that his recovery is doubtful., John H. IJoncarron and Leon Boudoln were also badly burned. At the time the fire broke out the hands in the factory were all busy at their work, and the explosion was so sudden that none had any warning. They scrambled down stairs and fire escapes, some with their clothing In flames." The men whose clothlnc. was in llames ran wildly about the streets until captured by policemen, who tore the burning garments from their bodies and took them to a store near by where their wounds were dressed with oil. These men . were not seriously injured. BISHOP AND PKIEST. Father Malone Suspended for Disobeying1 the Wishes of His Superior. DENVER, Col., May 2.-Itev. T. H. Malone, pastor of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in this city, was suspended this afternoon by Bishop Matz on the charge of citing him Into court as a witness. A few day3 ago the trustees of the church sued Father Malone for 511,000 which the Bishop claimed was due. This was brought for the purpose of showing thaft there actually was a shortage in the pastor's accounts. Investigation before a referee showed that the church owed Father Malone Ji.Suo. The Bishop to-day secured an Injunction from Judge Bentley, forbidding further proceedings until after a hearing in court. The matter will investigated by Archbishop Cnappelle. The relations between Bishop Matz and Father Malone havebeen strained for some time, differences having arisen between them on account of Father Malone's liberal views on the school question.

WALL HILL lVLiimia Ho Says He Does Not Propose to Leave the National Capital. "WhenCoiifrress Sees All the Unemployed, of the Country There, It Will Legislate for Them, He Says. THE GENERAL UNDER ARREST With Browne and Jones He Must Stand Trial on Friday. All Three Oat on Bail Iliffh-Soundlnff Words from the "Keincarnated" Marshal Tom Johnson Squelched. WASHINGTON, May 2. Jacob Selcher Coxey, the chief of the commonweal army, was put under arrest. Each of the three leaders of the movement which culminated at the Capitol grounds yesterday will now have to answer to the courts for the parts they took In yesterday's disturbance. The trials of Carl Browne, Christopher Columbus Jones and Coxey have been postponed until Friday. They will be arraigned on that day before Judge Miller In Police Court. The charge against them will be violation of the United States statutes. The arrest of Coxey took place to-day In Police Court, on information filed against him last night. The three men have a considerable array of Populist lawyers to defend them, their counsel Including Representatives Spence, of Colorado; Baker, of Kansas; Kem, of Nebraska; Boen, of Minnesota, and Adjutant-general Tarsney, of Colorado, a brother of Representative Tarsney, of Missouri. Counsel asked that $500 in cash bo accepted in lieu of real estate ball for Coxeys appearance, but the Judge refused to accept it and Coxey and Jones were taken to the police station. There was a crowd of curious people surrounding the District ' Court, in expectation of the trial of Browne and Jones, and It was disappointed at the postponement of their cases until next Friday. The crowd likewise was disappointed at Its failure to gain admission to the court room to view the proceedings, only those persons who could give some good reason for their presence being , admitted. Among the earliest arrivals at the court were Coxey, Browne and Jones. They were soon Joined by four Populist members of Congretss Pence, Baker, Boen and Kem and also Adjutant-general Tarsney, who offered their services as counsel. t Marshal Carl Browne was attired in his spectacular buckskin suit. The party engaged in consultation until Judge Miller ascended the bench, when Browne and Jones walked behind the railing into the prisoners enclosure, accompanied by Mr. Coxey. Several minor cases were disposed of first in the usual Police Court style of rapid transit. During these proceedings the group of sympathizers was augmented by the arrival of Chairman Taubeneck and Secretary Turner, of the central committee of the People's party, and Dr. T. A. Bland, of Washington, a third-party man. Assistant District Attorney Mullowney, a smooth-faced, blonde-haired young man, appeared as prosecutor of the Coxeyltet and announced that "I have been informed that a man named Jacob S. Coxey U In court, and after, an investigation last nlht, I have thought myself warranted in filing an Information against him. I have made out a warrant, but If he is willing to sul mit I do not caro to have it served - upon him." DID NOT EXPECT ARREST. This was a surprise, and Oeneral Coxey spoke, up, "I'm here and loady." He then stepped forward to the bar, and attorney Samuel Hyman said: "First, we ask whether all of the informations have been filed that the government Intends to make out." "That is not the question," replied the Judge. Then the Information charging Jacob S. Coxey with unlawfully displaying a banner or device was read, and he replied "Not guilty." The accued elected to be tried by Jury, and the hearing of the case against them was set for Friday morning. Whm the question of ball came up one of the lawyers for the accused said: "It Is a moral certainty that these gentlemen would remain here ten years for trial." "We want legal certainty," replied Judge Miller, and he fixed the amount of bond in each case at $500. Marillo Bicker, a feminine attorney of this city, came forward to offer ball for General Coxey, but Assistant District Attorney Mullowney reminded her of a provision of law which forbids attorneys from signing bail bonds. Subsequently Frank Hume, a wholesale grocer, signed the bond for Coxey and Jones. Soon after his release Coxey was seen in his room at the National Hotel, with Mrs. Coxey and Iegal Tender. Samul Gomper. the president of the American Federation of Labor, was at the hotel and had a talk with Mr. Coxey, which talk the latter did not care to reveal. "The Federation of Labor indorsed our bills some months ago," he said. In discussing his arrest the chief of the commonweal said: "I am certain that I have not been guilty of lawbreaking. I saw Vice President Stevenson at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and he told me that he would consult with Speaker Crisp about setting aside the regulation forbidding speech-making on the Capitol grounds. I am certain that the law Is unconstitutional, and 1 wanted to test it. I left my army and walked penceably to the Capitol steps, bearing no banners or device, which the law forbids. I demanded of the police the exercise of my right. When they refused me, I asked if I could read a protest. They refused that, and I made no attempt to speak or read, merely asking them to accept the protest, which they refused to do. Then I turned around and made my way from the grounds. If there was lawlessness in my action, I fall to see it. I did not know whether the Vice President had concluded to let me speak, and I wished to test the law. Marshal Browne walked over the grass, contrary to law, but he did it because the mounted police were trying" to ride him down." Mr. Coxey persists in his determination to remain in Washington. "When Congress sees .all of the unemployed men of the country here it cannot refuse to legislate for them," he said. LIBERTY WELTERING IN BLOOD. Carl Browne has issued a special order to his followers. It is dated: "Chief Marshal's Headquarters, Commonweal of Christ, in the field, Camp J. S. Coxey, Jr., Second and M streets. May 1, 1S34. Special order No. 1." It begins: "Comrades of the commonweal Liberty lies weltering in her own blood at the Nation's capital city, tonight, stabbed in the house of her friends by "hr suip03ed guardians. Free speech has been suppressed and policemen's clubs have taken the place of the scales of justice." The docrment Is throughout couched in extravagant phrases, and at the conclusion relates that "after remaining in a damp, dirty dungeon for several hours" yesterday, he "was finally let out on $C00 ball, which wa3 furnished by two true Christian ladles of Whlniyton." , Affairs at the camp of 'the army of the commonweal were In a quiescent state today. There were n disorders or demonstrations of any kind requiring the presence of the large force of regular and special policemen stationed at and In the vicinity of tiie camp. The common weal era tiave apparently settled themselves down to a temporary period of comparative Inactivity. ' Some attempt is making to Improve the appearance of the camp, and many of the members of the army were enframed in piling up bricks nd otherwise putting things In ship shape. For the purpose of shielding the men from the sun of the day and the dew of the night rude canvas covrtnrs have beer stretched from the f-jnee inward. They will prove very lnaileiu- te. however, to keep out the rain. General Coxey was a visitor at the cuir.p durinir the day, but left shortly after nco.n and "Oklahoma Sam" was given c. urge. .Marshal Browne was an early visitor and took breakfast with his associates in the army. He remained but a brief tim?. however, and departed early to attend hi trial In the Police Court. Health Officer Ilammll rnas made report to the District commissioners condemning

Several members of Coxey's army walked through the WTilte Hou?e grounds to-day. Two of them expressed a desire to enter a building:, but -they were Induced to abandon their plan by a couple of detectives In citizens' dress. There was no disturbance of any kind, and the President held his usual afternoon reception without Incident. Quite a large crowd gathered at the camp ground of the commonweal this evening to listen to Coxey on the Nation's finances. Coxey intends to continue to speak each evening: until the bills are passed. The camp had been thoroughly cleaned during the day, and a large portion of the ground was covered with clean straw. A larpe tent has been loaned for the use of the men. It was set up late this afternoon in the center of the camp, and will add materially to the comfort of the Coxeyltes. XO INVESTIGATION. Tom Johnson "Sat Down On" by Fel-lov-Repreaentnttves. WASHINGTON. May 2. Representative Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio, created a sensation of brief duration In the House shortly after It assembled by Introducing: a resolution calling for a congressional Investigation of the beating: of citizens by the police during the Coxey demonstration at the Capitol yesterday.

NEW YORK, May 2.-It Is Muted that the prosecution in the trial of Dr. Meyer may produce the real Baum, whose counterfeit, Erandt, was, they allege, murdered under his name, as a witness. In rebuttal, according to court rumor, the defense will bring Into court the genuine Ludwig Brandt, whose intestines, according to the prosecution, have been analyzed by an expert and are now reposing in the said expert's laboratory. Carl Mueller was again under cross-examination to-day, and reiterated in detail the circumstances attending the poisoning of Brandt. Lawyer Brooke asked the witness: "Why did not you tell Brandt that he was being poisoned?" ' "lie wouid not believe me. I knew Dr. Meyer was a poisoner from Chicago. I knew that he was killing Brandt. I would have told Brandt, but I knew that he would not believe me." The witness produced a sensation when tie said: "Dr. Meyer told me he would poison Brandt, as he was a worthless feliow, and sat around all day, drank whisky and smoked cigarettes.
