,v r THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. FRIDAY, MAT 2, 1890. V 7 i 1 i V t TALK WITH LECONEY. The Acquitted Man Will Not Leave the Old Farm. HE EXPECTS TO BE VINDICATED, And Btill Hopes to Secure the Arrest of .Annie's .Murderer. OLD FKILXDS STILL STICK TO III1I Philadelphia, May L The hot rays of the spring sun shone full in the weather beaten face of Chalkley Leconey as be plowed his potato field opposite the tragic farm home near Merchantville, N. J., the scene dfthe horrible murder of Annie Leconey, his niece. His face was bronzed as when he was arrested for the brutal murder. The sleemot his shirt were rolled up and the arms of a woolen undershirt were open to Tiew. He wore a pair of dark brown breeches similar to thoss-tbat were produced in the great Camden Court House trial when Chalkley's life hung on a mere thread. The dark trousers were those which his counsel contended he wore on the fatal nmrnintr in stead of the white blood-stained trousers that the State had brought as evidence against the man. A large broad-brimmed straw hat covered his head and completed his outfit Although the great murder trial was brought to a close nearly two months ago with the acquittal of Chalkley, the echoes of the eTent are still with his neighbors, who fonght hard on the witness stand to se cure his liberty. Most of his friends still hold the most implicit faith in his inno cence, and the old weather beaten mill by the farm house agaiu is the rendezvous where jokes are cracked and the latest news told. As to the tragedy Itself, It is a mystery. XOSE KSOW THE MITEDEKKK. The fjOO reward which Chalkley offered to any person Riring information that may lead to the detection of the person or persons who murdered his niece has so far failed to solve the mystery of the tragedy, and there is a general impression that the truth will never be known. "While this is true. Court Clerk Edward Burreuehs, who worked so indefatigably for Chalkley's exculpation, is busily engaged in an endeavor to discover the real murderer, and Sheriff Baird, of Camden county, is rendering him whatever assistance is needed. Clerk Burroughs said yesterday in a tone of confidence that the time is not far distant when Chalkley will be vindicated in the eyes of the world, and that the guilty person will be brought before the bar of justice to suffer the penalty for his atrocious crime. The way in which Chalkley Leconey spoke yesterday showed to all appearances that he is heartily anxious that the tragedy be thoroughly investigated, and that he is ready to take an active part in sifting the mystery. CHAXKLET? HAED AT TVOBK. As a reporter entered the potato patch in which the farmer was plowing the liberated man left his team atd approached. Ifear Chalkley was his aged brother .Tames, and the two seemed to be in not a very pleasant irameot mina. i.nev did not wish to hold an interview with any newspaper man. At firt Chalkley was extremely indignant and cried out: "Coniound it, will these newspaper re porters ever cease coming here. I have no lime to talk. Newspapers have helped to ruin me." After a few moments Chalkley's wrath subsided, and he very agreeably entered into a short conversation. "I have nothing aein the newspapers," continued Chalkley, "tor I know that they want to print whatever news is going on. But they have hit me pretty hard." "Yes, but they are willing to vindicate You in any proper wav, and the public would like to know whether you have been able to pet any information as to who killed Annie." Well, you can just sav that we are hnntin' this matter up, and that I shall not give it up until the last horn blows. Peo ple who sav I don't want to investigate this thing don't tell the truth. I always tried to discover the murderer. There are people claiming to have been friends of mine who testified that I refused to assist in ferreting out the matter. They are no friends of mine. They needn't come around and tell me pretty things now. Thank God, about all ot my neighbors stuck by THOUGHT OF EESIGHDfG, the Bat Now Quit Will Not to Plcnio Democimlc Lender. .SPIXI.H.T1XIIORJL1C TO Til DIsr-ATCIt.l Beaveb Palls, May 1. Senator. Quay was interviewed At his home in Beaver re garding the report that he was about to re sign the chairmanship of the National Re publican Committee. At first he was inclined to say but little regarding it, but finally, in reply to a direct question, he smilingly replied that he had not any thonght of resigning, and that in any event, he would never retire when under the fire of the enemy. Some months ago, he had concluded to resign, in order to relieve himself of the labor it imposes, and thus secure more time to devote to his official and private business but now lie would not be permitted to take a Step that would, at this time? be so gratifying to the Democratic leaders, as his resignation of the Chairmanship of the National Republi can Committee. He said the whole matter was an invention of the enemy, and the Democratic press wonid not accomplish its design to force him out of the committee. 8BJBT MANUTACTUEEBS FAIL. The 2TEGE0ES AND DYXAMXE.

Two negroes lost their lives by the Unexpected explosion of a dynamite blast in Hancock county, at the quarry of the Quincy Granite Company, this afternoon. Several other workmen on the place were more or less injured. An drew Latimer, colored, one of the victims,, was literally torn to pieces. Another colored laborer named Burch was so badly hurt that he cannot survive. Quite a number were stauding about, and it is a wonder more were not hurt. Some blasting had been done, and it was thought all the charges had been exploded. One of the hands struck the fuse with a steel bar, producing a spark, the explosion following. WANTS A CHANGE. Tho New York Chamber of Commerce Wnnta the Cnatome Altered. New Yoek, May L At the annual meeting nl the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York, held here to-day, the following officers, to 6erve for the year end ing May 7, 1891, were elected: President, Charles S. Smith; IJirst Vice President, Alexander E. Orr; Second Vice President, Morris K. Jessup; Treasurer, Solon Hum phreys; Secretary, George Wilson. The usual committees were appointed, and a resolution adopted indorsing the trans'erof the Revenue Marine from the Treasury to the Navy Department, and re questing Senators and Representatives in Congress to vote for its adoption. A EATE WAR PBOBABLE, Owinc to a Reduction on Freights to Eastern Points. Chicago, May L The railroadsoperating between Chicago and the Ohio river have, In connection with the Chesapeake and Ohio, reduced the through rate on provision from Chicago to Newport News to 23 cents per 100 pounds. The rate to that point has been heretofore 27 cents, the same as to Baltimore, against a 30-cent rate to New York. Tne reduction may cause trouble, as it will probably be met by the Baltimore and Ohio, in which case the New York rate will be pulled down. KTT.T.Tn) BY BEUTAL TREATMENT. "Have you succeeded in obtaining any further light into the tragedy?" "That's something that I can't talk about just now. Just wait a little while." TRYING TO EARN HIS BREAD. -How has your health been since the trial?" "I am now feeling pretty well," answered the liberated man, as he looked toward his tragic home, "and am trying to earn enough to get my bread and butter. The State has ruined me, and mavbe I'll never get on mv feet again. I didn't begin to do any work until about three weeks ago, because the prison left me very weak. I was fat and had no strencth whatever. I suppose I weighed about 175 pounds at the time of the trial. Nowyou see I am thinner reckon about 20 pounds less. For the first three weeks after the trial I remained about the hmicp nfi-;. of catching my death of cold if I went out to work. After that I began to do some thing about the mill.and jost lately Istarted to work hard. I have plowed two potato fields, and I want to see if I can't pay some of my debts off. Being put in jail made me late in my farm work, but has especially hurt my mill business. In the winter time I used to do all my grinding. So the mill is now not so well stocked as it was. I have consequently, lost a few of my old cus tomers, but my neighbors have all come bacfc, and are buying a good deal of grain. Yes, my arrest will always be a stain on my life. I don't think I will ever regain all the good will that I once held. Annie was a good girl, and I loved her. I don't see how people could imagine that I could kill her. I shall stick to this old farm, and here's where I want to be when I die." is mere anythincr in particular that von want to tell the public ?" "Only that I am working hard to get enough to eat and to regain what I have been robbed of." A CONTENTED HOUSEHOLD. Chalkley then returned to his plow and continued his work. Since the trial the Leconey farm has been a lively place, and iiio uucnin mau "as plenty or company. Chalkley's brother James and his wile are still there, besides his sister, Mrs. Joseph Vance, and her hnsband. James is a very elderly man and is not very strong. He assists Clia'klej considerably about the mill, however, and tne two are almost in separable. The terrible ordeal through which his brother had to pass has had the effect of making James contented and happy when he is with Chalkley. It is not likely that he will return to his home at Waverly, O., to live, although it has been arranged that he and his wife will only remain until the year is out. Mrs. Leconey, the mother of the murdered girl, attends to most of the household duties. She feeds the chickens, and says that this is her happiest duty to perform, because Annie loved the chickens. The "half drowned chicken," which figured so con spicuously in the trial and saved the life of Chalkley, still wears the red ribbon badge around its left leg, and is the pride of the farm. Wandered Away and Died. CnrcnrNATi, May la photograph of the dead body recentlj found at Terre Hante has been recognized here by Mr. Aeukam as of his son Robert, who was a broom-maker, and who left home last Janu t 5?".?' ,L.dnineo fiSht which he Horrible Story of Cruelty and Abnae on an Ocean Steamer. New York, May 1. Reinhard Sanger, a sailor on the steamer City of Washington, of the Ward Line, died on the vessel near Havana, on April C, and was buried in that city on the following day. Messmates of the deceased now in the city say his death was the result of brutal treatment, and they accuse the first assist ant engineer whose name is Rocke'elier. They say he made the sailor work when he was too ill to stand, and when he fell trom sheer exhaustion Rockefeller kicked him. Liabilities Flncrd nt $375,000, With Aaiets Over 8100.000 Leaa. tft-ECIAI MLEORAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, May 1. Techheimer, Rau & Co., shirt manufacturers, at Broadway and Franklin street, failed to-day and the sheriff took possession. Blumcnstiel & Hirscb entered confessed iudsmentsamount- ing to $87,256 against the firm in favor of the following creditors: Hanover National Bank, S34.6G9; Central National Bank, 514,872; Abrahtm Backer, $10,031; Alex Schlussel, $12,777; Hugh McKittrick, of St. Louis, $14,907. All the judgments are for borrowed money. The firm is composed of Sigmund Techheimer and John Bau. In July, 1889, they were worth $18S,000, of which 518,000 was in real estate. Mr. Blumenstiel said that the liabilities would probably reach $375,000, of which $200,000 is for borrowed money and accom modations, the rest being for merchandise. The assets were probably $250,000 to $270, 000 in stock accounts and machinery in the jNew lorK uity lactory. Statements made by Mr. Techheimer's son led to rumors that speculation had been one of the catises of the failure, but this was denied. Mr. Raum said he thought the liabilities would not ex ceed $325,000; the assets would amount to $275,000, and perhaps more. The great success and world-wide reputa tion of "Au Bon Marche," in Paris, are due to the uniform fairness, courtesy and liber ality with which its business is conducted, principles that have made it the favorite resort of American shoppers in Europe.
