VARs Ee —— OE A RI. Demoreaic {ata Bellefonte, Pa. March 30th 1906, A ————— REFUSES TO GRANT WARRANTS New York, March 24.—If the grand jury which is investigating some of the conditions developed by the recent leg- islative investigation reaches the con- clusion that contributions ‘of insurance company funds to political campaign committees were made with intent to deprive or defraud the true owner of his property, it must find that lareeny was committed, This opinion was ex- pressed by Justice O'Sullivan in the court of general sessions in answer to a presentment on the subject submitted to him by the grand jurors. Judge O'Sullivan added that it is not within the province of the court to say whether or not there was intent. That is a question which the jurors must deter- mine for themselves from all the facts and circumstances in the case. He charged the jury to make a thorough investigation into all the facts and to place the responsibility for such crimes, if they find that crimes were com- mitted. “You are not to go seeking for shelter as an excuse to avoid an unpleasant duty,” he said. This opinion is, in effect, directly opposite to one upon the same subject which was given by District Attorney Jerome several days ago. Mr. Jerome in his brief, which was submitted to Justice O'Sullivan, held that there was no ground for prosecution of any in- surance officials in connection with the campaign, taking the ground that nc intent to defraud had been shown. Judge O'Sulliavn agrees with the con- tention of the district attorney that in- tent must have been present to consti- tute the crime of larceny, but declares that the question whether or not there was intent is a question which is yet to be determined. Mr. Jerome was in court, and when Judge O'Sullivan had delivered hie opinion the district attorney asked the grand jury to remain, as he desired tc address them upon the subject in ques. tion. He declared that Judge O'Sullivan had misconceived the subject which he had considered, and that if the court held to its opinion it would be the duty of the grand jury to return indictments against George W. Perkins, former vice president of the New York Life Insur. ance company, for larceny, and against George B. Cortelyou, chairman, and Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the Re- publican national committee, as receiv- ers of stolen goods. Mr. Jerome in- formed Judge O'Sullivan that if he would sit as a magistrate he would submit affidavits to the acts committed by George W. Perkins and would ask for a warrant for his arrest. He added that in event of such a warrant being issued a writ of habeas corpus would follow and that the case would be taken to the highest courts, where the district attorney would retain Alton B. Parke: as special counsel. Judge O'Sullivan declined to grant the warrant, giving as his reason that the question at issue should be passed upon by the grané jury. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING IN PULPIT Rev. J. B. Lentz Killed at Carson, la. While Preaching. Carson. Ia.,, March 26.— While he was preaching to his congregation Rev. J. B.

Baltimore, March 24. — Brooklyn, | Anne Arundel county, just across the Patapsco river from this city, is hor- rified over the deeds and death of Walter Potee, an insane man, 28 years old, who, entering his brother's house just as friends and relatives were gathering to attend the funeral of the brother's little child, opened fire with a revolver, set fire to the house, and himself died from gunshot wounds, but whether self-inflicted or not is un- known. Potee entered the room and began firing so entirely unexpectedly that several persons were wounded before they could escape. The mother and sister-in-law of the maniac were caught in the kitchen and held prisoners there for some time. Potee then locked himself in the house and fired upon every one who approached. Nine peo: ple were injured more or less seriously by his shots from revolvers «nd a re peating shotgun. The crazy man found time between shots to sprinkle oil about the house and set fire to it. While it was burning flercely Chief of Police Irwin, Henry Roberts and August E. Remmers broke in the front door and managed to save from incin eration the body of the child whose funeral had been about to take place. Firemen summoned from the city finally extinguished the flames, but not before the building had been al most gutted. On the second floor was found the body of the maniac, badly burned above the waist and with a gaping wound over the heart.
