A VERSION BY "MANAGER" A1ILAIR Ho Gives mi idea of the Manner in Which the IJuslncss of the Corpora tion Vins Coiidiictcd--Sttitoment of the Hills Keeelviibla, Merchandise, Stocks, Bonds, Hte. --Heroic Trcut ment Kecoinnicnded for Koons. "Wilkes-Ham', Pa Feb. C In the conspiracy case of the commonwealth against A. L. Spencer ami Thomas Au brey, of Sernnton, Ci. W. Koons, prose cutor, the entire day was taken up with the examination, of G. A. Mllair, the self-confessed co-conspirator, whoso evidence acalnst the Phoenix Contract company was damaging throughout. The letters which were written ly A. I.,. Spencer and Thomas Aubrey to Mr. Mllulr are a prominent feature of the case. Many of them were read to the Jury by District Attorney Fell yes terday nfternoon. Mr. Fell this morn ing continued reading the letters In consecutive order to the Jury, all of which were offered In evidence. The ehirogruphy and signature!) on all the letters were Ideutllled by Mr. Mllair as being Messrs. Spencer's and Au brey's. There are several dozens of let ters In all and they speak of business money matters, the buying and selling of material and so on: nearly all of them contain instructions to Mr. Mllair as to how to proceed In this or that deal; several of them asked for remit tances from Mr. Mllair and It would ap pear from such of the letters as made those requests that Spencer anil Aubrey were at times "hard up." The coun sel for the defense, notably Mr. Palmer, gave evidence symptoms of ennui while the letters were being read. A letter on which Mr. Fell said the prosecution would put special stress, written by Spencer to Aubrey advised that Mr. Kennedy (who had recently been made vice president of the Phoe nix company) be made president. This move Mi1. Silencer advised to be made at once as it woud insure, In the lan guage of the letter, "unlimited credit to the company." "Strike while the Iron Is hot," said Spencer In this letter. Mr. Kennedy Is a wealthy man and re sides at Ionia, Michigan. Following Is a specimen of the letters written by Aubrey to Mllair. The Brady mentioned In the letter Is a southern lumber man: Sernnton, Sent. 29. ISUti. G. A. J. Mllair, New York. Dear Sir: The enclosed postal canl In the mlil-day mall. 1 very much regret that the funds I have been looking for niivo not et come to hand. I was prom ihuJ a cliettuo for $2U0 on the 20th, but have not yet been able to collect It. Can you not urrange to raise the rent In some other ipiarter until this money comes In? It would bo most disastrous to have the New York otllce closed at this Juncture. Koons has completely spoiled our credit here for the present. Some time ago ho had two 1'lnkerton men here and it is now coming out gradually how they went to work both hero and In Xew York, and In certain circles raised a distinct odor of unpleasant llavor. Under tho circum stances 1 at once took legal advice and having laid the matter fully before our attorney here, was udvlsed to allow Koons to stew In his own Juice for a little time, lie can do nothing but bluster and even If he ventures to bring suit he does not Im prove his position in the slightest degree. For the reasons named, therefore, 1. e his action in the matter of detectives, I do not propose to do anything for him. Meantime when you can ilnd time to come through to Sernnton I shall be glad to lay everything fully before you, but would advise that you do not make any appointment to meet Koons here with me. 1 am glad Brady has gone. The detec tives' reports on him were "rank." As soon as you can get your lumber moving wo can turn it Into cash imme diately for you. Yours truly, Thomas Aubrey. THE PHOENIX COMPANY. Mllair stated that he was genpral mannger of the company. Thomas Au brey was acting secretary and treasur er, and he acted In that capacity, wit ness said, at the request of A. L. Spen cer. "What was the company to be form ed for?" asked Mr. Fell. "For tho purchase and sale of mater ial, the proceeds to be divided among the members. Spencer was to get 50 per cent. The charter for the proposed company was taken out In Now Jersey. Mr. Spencer sent me a check for J2G to pay for the charter. I sent the check to the secretary of state of New Jer sey. Mr. Fell then offered tho charter in evidence, ami Mr. Palmer objected; first, as to the names of the charter members, the names of the defendants not nppearing, and second, that It is signed by the governor of New Jersey and secretary of state and cannot be used as an Instrument in evidence in tills commonwealth. This was replied to by Mr. Fell to tho effect that, as the prosecution would show Spencer's name did not appear because he alleged it would bo better for the operations of the company that he should work on the outside. As to the second objection, Mr. Lenahan read the act of congress of 1804, which says that u document from any state can be used as evidence In any other state. Judge Hennett finally overruled the ob jections and District Attorney Fell read the charter to the Jury. According to its provisions, powers are given to the Incorporators and members of the firm to engage In the purchase, operation of and disposal of by sale for profit and business In mining or manufacturing, stockf or bonds, etc., in any part of the United States. There are 1,000 shares at $100 per share In this particu lar company. The charter of the Phoenix company was then produced and the witness was asked concerning certain assets men tioned in that document. The capital was said to bo $100,000 with $50,000 paid In. No money was paid In the witness testified, Another item was "cash in bank, $3,000.'; "Was there $3,000 cash in bank?" lie was asked. "Mr. Spencer," replied the witness, ,U. 'did deposit $3,000, but it was imme diately withdrawn. The deposit had a 'string' to it as ho wrote me. He ar ranged to put the money in (he bank for the purpose of establishing credit for the company and when thnt had been accomplished ho withdrew it." "Hills receivable, $10,000; merchan dise, $17,000; stocks, bonds, etc., $20, 000;" were other Hems In the charter, but Mllair swore that all of these were only on tho paper for effect. The object of nil these letters was to show the fraudulent schemes of Spen cer and Aubrey as members of the Phoenix company. The prosecution alleges that by lying to Dun's and Hrndstrcet's agencies they had men rated high. These men would then make notes and these notes wero sold and the proceeds divided among the conspirators. The maker of the note usually got 50 percent, of tho proceeds, and the balance was divided among tho others. Spencer claims thnt lie is a creditor of the company but the prose cutor will endeavor to show the con trary by his letters In one of which he told Mllair he could help the concern better on the outside. The prosecution will not be able to finish Its side of the case this week. Among the witnesses from Sernnton are F. D. Phillips, cashier of the Trad ers' National bank: AV. F. Clifford, a detective, and the representative In this city of Dun's agency. SLAUGHTER AT CRETE. Helpless Christians Are Shot Down by Turkish SoldiersForeign Consu lates Crowded with Fugitives. London, Feb, 5. A despatch to the Central News from Athens says that desperate lighting has occurred between the Christians and Mohammedans In the Island of Crete. The Mussulmen have set tiro to the city of Canea, and tho place Is now burning. The city Is In n state of anarchy and a Christian Is safe nowhere. Many Christians who had locked themselves in their homes were driven out by the Unmet only to met death nt the hands of the Turkish soldiers, who shot them down at sight. A number of citizens have succeeded In finding refuge on the warships In the harbor, hut the outlook for those still In the vicinity Is very precarious. The situation Is so critical that mar ines have been landed from the Hrlttsh and French warships to protect tho consulates of their respective govern ments. A later despatch to the Central News says that the Christian quarters in Canea have been almost destroyed. The various consulates are crowded with' fugitives. The dispatch further says that fully 200 persons have been killed In Canea. Many of them lost their lives while at tempting to reach the warship. Advices here from various sources confirm the stories of the disturbances In Crete and the killing of Christians. The various reports Indicate that In tho first Instance the Christians were as fully to blame as the Mussulmans. Tho Atl- .us correspondent of tho Dally News telegraphs thnt the consuls have arrived at Canea from Hallpa and have sont messages declaring that the situation is hopeless. M. Deellnls, the prime minister an nounced In the chamber today that the government, at the Instigation of the king had ordered two wurshlps to pro ceed to Canea and that other warships would follow them. The statement was received with the wildest enthusi asm and with acclamations for the union of Greece and Crete. Testimonial from Venezuela. Washington, Feb. 5.

Ill tho house of com mons today Sir Michael Hlcks-Ueach, chancellor of the exchequer, announced that a further advance of Egyptian troops would bo made toward Khar toum next season. As regarding the action of the Kgyp tlan tribunals, Sir Michael continued, IS real Britain would not be worried from her duty, when her mind was made up. He then proceeded to move a resolution granting the sum of TUS.000 pounds to meet tho total cost of the Anglo-Kgyptlan expedition to Dongolu, in maintenance of tho gairisons nt Su akim and elsewhere In the Soudan and the Indian troops In Egypt, which Great Hi Rain would pay. Klght Hon. John Morley, liberal, said that the remaike of the chancellor of the exchequer amounted to a challenge to France and Kusslu to take Issue with Gieat Britain In the latter's Egyptian policy. In view of the sensitive condi tion of Europe at the present time, ho declared, nothing more rash could be ut tered. Sir William Harcourt, tho leader of the opposition, expressed regret at the unwise language and gratuitous provo cation of the powe: which character ized the remarks of ( ir Michael llicks Heacli. George N. Curzon, under foreign sec retary sought to minimize the effect of Kir Michael's lnngunKe and denied Hint It was In any way Intended ns a men ace to France. Mr. Henry M. Stanley, tho African explorer, unionist, said that Gieat Brit ain was only doing In Egypt what Rus sia vas doing In Siberia and France was doing between the Senegal and the Niger rivers In Africa. After some further discussion the res olution submitted by Sir Michael Hicks Heach was adopted by a vote of 1U0 to 57. In the lobby of the house there was much comment upon the anti-French tone of Sir Michael Jlicks-Iieach, and surprise was expressed by a number of members that he should have spoken as he did. Tho speech was thought to have such significance that the full text wis tele graphed to Paris this evening. NEW TAStrfF BILL,. The Wnys mid Menus Committee lci l'cct the 1, umber Schedule.

Tho special legis lative committee appointed to Investi gate the subject of trusts, and of which Senator l.exow Is chairman, began lis work today and the first corporation to come up for Investigation was the so called "Sugar Trust." Theodore A. Havomeyer, vice president of the Amer ican Sugar Refineries company, was the first witness. Mr. Havomeyer stated that he know nothing of the commer cial or fiscal business of the company, but only of its manufacturing end. lie stated that the dally output of sugar by his company was 20,000 pounds. He de nied that the absorption of otho; com panlts by his company was for the pur pose of shutting out competition In the market and said that sugar now Is low er than It was before these outside companies were acquired. Mr. Have meyer said that he had recently gone In the manufacture of coffee with the Woolson Spice ami Coffee company, In Ohio. The witness declared that ho would not go Into a business which did not pay sixteen per cent, profit, and that the coffee business was such a business. He said the sugar company had no connection with the coffee com pany. Senator l.exow elicited from him the fact that the Havemeyer and John H. Searles, treasurer of tho sugar com pany, tin equivalent positions m tno coffee company. AVltness stated that he was willing to swear thnt, so far as he knew there was no agreement between his sugar company (and the other companies to maintain prices. At the nfternoon session of the com mittee Henry O. Havemeyer, president of the Suirar company, took the stand. Witness luted that there were about fifteen companies constituting tho Am erican Sugar Refineries company and that the capital stock was $75,000,000.

In answer to the question Mr. Havemeyer replied that he proposed to carry on tl;e coffee business Just as he bus done the sugar business, "so that instead of getting 3 or I cent. a pound profit, which has prevailed for years, the pub lic will get the benefit of half a cent profit and we will also get a magnifi cent return for our Investment. 1 make this declaration In open court."

Mr. Havemeyer said that he and his asso ciates on the board of directors did not control the stock of the sugar com pany, as there are about 8,000 stock holders. John Arbuckle was next called and testified that when It became known that It was the Intention of his com pany to build a sugar refinery, a di rector of the American Sugar com pany said to him: "How would you like us to go Into the coffee roasting business?" Mr. Arbuckle considered this a threat.. James N. Garvey, of the Arbuckle firm, testified that In September last Lowell M. Palmer, of the American Sugar company, said to him: I "If you start refining sugar, we will go Into the coffee business, ami the Havemeyers have more millions than the Arbuckles." At this point II. O. Hevemeyer Inter rupted and said that Mr. Palmer was a head of the cooperage department and had no authority to speak for the American Sugar company. Mr. Gar vey Jumped up and said: "I would llko to say that William F. McLaughlin, a member of a compet ing firm from Chicago, called on me and said that one high In the sugar trust gave him authority to say that If wo went out of the sugar business the Havemeyers would go out of the coffee business." To this Mr. Havemeyer replied heat edly denying that they had given Mr. McLaughlin any authority to make such a statement and that further his company has the perfect right to go into the coffee business. A subpoena had been Issued for Mr. Searles, treasurer of the sugar com pany, but he did not answer to it today, and before the committee adjourned until tomorrow, Chaiiman Lexow an nounced that If Mr. Searles did not ap pear then the full authority of the law will be Invoked to bring him before the committee.
