NEW TRIAL FOR IIOLTIIAM.
Judge Edwards' Reason for Granting
Another Hearing.
Thomas Holtham.convlcted of unlaw
ful relations with Mrs. W. J. Robb, has
been granted a new trial, because the
attorney fur the commonwealth. T. V.
Powderly, in arguing to the Jury com
mented on the fact that the defndant
was not put upon the witness stand.
The act of assembly provides that the
neglect or refusal of any defendant ac
tually upon trial In a criminal court, to
offer himself as a witness, shall not be
treat i) ns creating any presumption
against him or be adversely referred to
by court or counsel during the trial.
Thbugh there were several reasons filed
for a new trial, the one reason bearing
upon the Infringement of the defend
ant's right under this act of assembly
was the only one that the court took
any cognizance of. Judge Edwards
granted the new trial.
Holthatn was not put on the stand,
and when Sir. Powderly was addressing
the jury he, In the heat of argument,
made reference to the fact. John F.
Scragg, attorney for the defendant, at
the time of the trial when Mr. Powderly
made his remark, asked Judge Kd wards
to withdraw a juror and continue the
case, but the court refused to do it, and
the case went to the Jury.

DID TEE BANK OF EKCIAKD
Bidweti, McDonald ud Noyts Now In
This City.
WERE TWENTY YEARS IN JAIL
They Sold the Bask of Eagtaad a Gold
Brisk for $S.O0O,0OO-They Say
That Saeeesa la Wrong
Doing la Failure
George McDonald, Auattn Bldwell
and Edwin Noyes, of Hartford, Conn.,
who went to England In 187 and sold
a gold brick to the Baik of England for
$5,000,000, arrived in town yesterday on
business. Our reporter found them at
the W yoming. All three are splendid
specimens of hearty manhood, who
after serving twenty years In an En
glish dungeon, bear no outward trace
of the suffering they underwent. No
one, to see them, would suspect that
their lives had been passed in other
than congenial surroundings. When
asked if they had had all they wanted,
Mr. Did well promptly aald:
"Yes, more than I wanted, but not
much more than we asked for and de
served." They all came of good Puritan an
cestry, and one naturlly marvels how
men of refinement and good ancestry
would deliberately enter upon a scheme
that if discovered would Invite such
serious consequences. Mr. McDonald Is
Bomewhat reserved and taciturn, and
when our reporter questioned him he
was referred to his partner.
Austin spoke freely upon the matter,
and very much like a philosopher as
well. In effect he said, "Getting oft the
track explains everything . No man
knows how far he may go In wrong do
ing if he once gets off the track. And
on the way to the devil one is pretty
sure to get there if he only has energy
enough, and the greater the energy
the sooner Is he at his journey's end.
Thinks It Is a Fraud.
The flower wreathed Primrose way
that poets love to write about, and our
beer drinking Bohemian artists love to
print Is a fraud. I have been there
myself and I can say from experience
that Is It a tormenting and unhappy
thoroughfare. When one has once gone
to the devil, as we did, few or none ever
come back in health, strength and cour
age as we have, but our return was by
the path of suffering. For twenty
years." Mr. Bldwell said, "the walls of
my dungeon frowned on me, while
every hour. I had to fight for my reason
as drownig men fight for their lives.'.'
Here our reporter told Mr, Bldwell
that as a newspaper man ne would
never dare to return to his chief with
more than ten lines of philosophic the
orising to one of facts, and requested
him to give what the public Is hungry
for, not theory, but fact. Austin re
plied pleasantly enough:
"In brief, I went Into an office in Wall
street. New York, In '64, an Innocent
boy of 16. Not long after I drifted into
stock speculation and soon became
known as one of the most successful as
well as one of the fastest of the younger
men about the Stock Exchange. The
time came when, like others, I found
myself on the wrong side of the market
and pressed for money to meet enjoy
ments. Just about this time I had the
chance offered me to make a large sum
of money by negotiating a big block of
stolen bonds. Under circumstances of
great temptation I consented to do It,
secretly promising myself that this
first step into the borderlands of crime
would be my last. These were gov
ernment bonda and were In the posses
sion of Captain James Irving, chief of
the New York detective force, and two
others of the detective bureau. I con
sented and resolved to take the bonds to
Europe, this I did and successfully dis
posed of them there.
Good Resolutions Departed.
"I need hardly say that successful in
the first crlmnal transaction all my
good resolutions never to do so any
more were speedily blown to the
winds, and I found myself coolly con
templating transactions that but a
short time before I would have shrunk
from. The result of it all was that
being In London In 1872 with my two
friends and with $75,000 in the party, it
was suggested that we could easily
make our $75,000 a million by an attack
upon the money vault of the Bank of
England, and we also argued It could
be carried out In a way to leave at
least two, if not all three of us, safe from
any chance of conviction, even if an ar
rest should ever follow.
"What at first had been only a sug
gestion, a haxy theory of a happy pos
slbllty soon crystallsed Into deliberate
purpose and determined resolve, and
being men of considerable energy we
had the matter to a focus right speedily.
How well we succeeded in obtaining a
few of the bank's many millions Is a
matter of history, but how dearly we all
paid for our wrong doing can never be
known but to ourselves. The New
York detectives received their first div
idend and were ferociously hungry for
a second, and when the English detec
ives arrived In New York hunting for
some trace of the bank forgers, our hon
est friends fooled them nicely, but
clever as, In our folly, we fancied we
were. Justice had determined to weigh
us In her balances, and she did It pretty
effectually, too.
Plnkertons on the Trail.
"Finally the Bank of England em
ployed the Plnkertons, and they speed
ily let daylight into the whole business.
Under .their clever astuteness the safe
guards we had built around us quickly
crumbled Into - dust Noyes was ar
rested In Europe, McDonald In America
and I was traced to the West Indies
and arrested by the Plnkertons In my
own house In the presence of a score of
guests, and never again do I want a
take down so near zero as my arrest
was. We three soon after were In New
gate and one summer night In 1873, still
in our early prime, we stood up at the
bar of the old Bailey In London while
the judge hurled at us the fearful sen
tence of Imprisonment for life. The
Primrose way to death had come to an
end. ana fearful was the retribution.
"Vve knew we deserved a severe sen
tence, but all felt that such a sentence
on us youngsters for an offence against
property was brutal, and our minds
rose In revolt against It The moment
It fell we shook hands and vowed that,
though beaten, we were not conquered,
and that we would never despair, let
John Bull do his worst.
"Under the circumstances It looked a
foolish thing to do, for in England a life
sentence means 'life.' We had some
fortitude though, and for over twenty
years we endured the pelting of that
pitiless storm, inen Dy an extraordl
nary accident i was liberated. I came
back In vigorous health, but a stranger
In the woria ana at once set about pro
curing the liberation of my friends. At
length, something more than a year
after my release, I had the satisfaction
of welcoming them as they stepped
from the steamer on to the dock In New
York. For all of us youth had dis
appeared and as we saw the marks of
time upon our faces I felt almost more
strongly than ever before that In the
world of wrong doing success is fail
ure." , t t

REASON NOT A GOOD ONE.
Property Parehascd with Pension Money
Not Exempt from Distraint.
Judge Edwards handed down an
opinion yesterday in the case of Peter
Summers against John Howey, in
which an execution was issued upon a
Judgment and a levy made on the per
sonal property of the defendant The
defendant asked to restrain the opera
tion of the execution because the prop
erty levied upon was purchased with
money received from the pension de
partment of the United States govern
ment The opinion was a lengthy one; Judge
Edwards refused to stop the execution
on the ground alleged, as pension
money is no more exempt from dis

Soma of Those Who Attended tho
Chrysanthemum Show Last Night.
To-night the chrysanthemum show In
the Frothlngham theater will end, and
possibly on this account came the
larger crowd to the show last night; it
was the largest throng in the theater
during any corresponding period since
the exhibit was opened and contained
many of the city's best known social,
business and professional clement.
The exclamations of delight by per
sons entering from the lobby were as
hearty and expressive as at the begin
ning of the display, which showed that
the exquisite blossoms are as erect,
sturdy and as full of healthy growth as
ever. Fancourt, the Wllkes-Barre flor
ist, who has exhibited and competed In
many shows In the large cities, said he
had never experienced better atmos
pheric conditions or temperature regu
lations. These precautions and the
presence of a force of men raring for
the plants from midnight until 9 o'clock
in the morning explain the continued
splendor of the show.
Ho Won Seven Prizes.
Fancourt won seven prizes, $13, for
bridesmaid, cousin, meteor and Mrs.
Pierpont Morgan roses; mixed carna
tions and new carnations and a new
chrysanthemum. Around this display
was grouped a continuous and delight
ed throng which Beemed to ucstow
favorable comment on, particularly,
the bridesmaid roses and the carna
tions of the same name, and the three
new chrysanthemums, tho Lullnda, the
Mrs. W. A. Bryant and the Mary Hall
stead, named for the daughter of
George M. Hallstead. The judges were
Rev. G. T. Price, W. C. Clark, gardener
to Colonel H. M. Holes, and John Wat
son, an old-time florist.
During the evening there were vocal
selections by the Oreen Hldge Wheel
men's Quartettte and a song by Hector
H. James, baritone. Mr. James' selec
tion was the "Armourer's Song," from
the opera of "Robin Hood," by De Ko
ven. Although suffering from a cold,
Mr. James sang with great Intelligence
and spirit, and imitated the clanging of
the anvils with splendid eitect. His
lower tones are rich and deep to an ex
traordinary degree and he has a certain
smoothness In the middle register un
usual in so big a voice.

apiece. Hill & Connell agents, and the
Oxford desk, at $1.75. represented by
Daniel Phillips, were each favored with
$1,000 orders. The prl ngfleld desk, of
which T. F. Floyd is the agent, was
given a $700 slice of the appropriation,
and the Chandler adjustable desk the
merits of which were set forth by Mr.
Tewksbury, came In for a $300 order.
The report was signed by Messrs.
WelBh, Williams, W. G. O'Malley and
Jennings. The other member of the

In dividing the contract and made
known his sentiments in a motion to
award tho whole contract to Hill &
Connell, representative of the Haney
desk, which he believed to be the best
and cheapest.
