TRIED TO SCARE PRESIDENT
French Soldier Attemnts Blackmail
on Roosevelt Family and Gets
Into Jail for Six Days.
Bordeaux, France.—An extraordin-
ary story was told at the court mar-
tial here ef a member cf the military
ambulance corps, Camille Marquet,
who was charged with attempting to
blackmail President Roosevelt.
According to the evidence before
the court, Marquet wiote to the Pres-
ident cn January 9 demanding, on be-
half cf “my society,” without other
specifications, $2,000 “on account of
services rendered during the presi
dential election,” and promising" fur-
their “immense help.”
Receiving no reply to his demand,
Marquet wrote again on March 9,
threatening a scandal “which will
cast dishonor upon the whole family,
unless the money is forthcoming at
a fixed date.”
In conclusion the writer of the let-
ter recommended the greatest discre-
tion, adding:
“The highest heads are no longer
safe on their shoulders, look at Port
ugal.” ;
The president handed the letters to
the French consul general, who com-
municated with the French police.
Marquet was brought' up for court
martial, but the court in considera-
tion of the good character of the youth
sentenced him to six days’ imprison-
ment, giving him the benefit of the
first offender’s law.

| Cleveland, O.—The writing of the

finance, filed a petition
in the United States
| district court here. With asset's of
| $75, except for medical books and
| office fixtures valued at $1,700, which
| he claims exempt, Dr. Chadwick hopes
{to wipe out obligations aggregating
| over $600,000.
| The action of Dr. Chadwick is con-
sidered to be only formal in effect,
for the purpcse of clearing himself
from any connecticn with the various
notes his wife gave and which he had
indorsag Although Dr. Chadwick
was jointly indicted upon one of the
transactions with his wife, yet the
case was nolied. Mrs. Chadwick
died in the GChio penitentiary a few
mcnths ago. DY. Chadwick original-
{ly had a fcrtune of upwards of $50,-
060.
In the schedules of liabiiities there
are a score of minor ilems. The
largest include $500,000 in favor of
J. W. Friend, of Piitsburg, money

and securities; $50,800 in favor of
Herbert B. Newton, of Boston, who
began the suit that expesed her cper-

TRUNK MYSTERY CLEARED
Wife and Daughter of Windber Man
Confess Soh Killed Him Be-
cause He Beat Them.
Baltimore, Md.—With the arrest of
Mrs. Bonnie Rosenbloom and her
daughter, Eva, and their subsequent
confession here to the detectives, the
mystery surrounding the death of
the husband and father, Samuel J.
Rosenbloom of Windber, Pa., appears
to be cleared up. Rozenbloom’s body
was found ‘in a trunk at Belle Mawr,
near Camden, N. J., on August 16,
by a party of picnickers. He had
been missing from his home since the
middle of last November. Mrs. Rosen-
bloom said that her son, Alexander,
for whom the police are searching,
killed the older Rosenbloom because
he had beaten her and her daughter.

der her husband quarreled with her
and’ with her sen and daughter. She
stairs to their room. Jihey heard
loud words in the store beneath. In
the morning when they came down-
stairs her husband was not there.
They asked her son, Alexander, where
his father was. He replied that he
had “gone away.” Later Mrs. Rosen-
bloom said, her son said to her: ey
have killed father, because he quar-
reled with al] of us and beat you and
Eva.”
They sold trunks in the store, she
said, and she supposed that her son
placed the body in one of the trunks
and carried the trung and body into
the stable in the rear cof the store,
where he kept it until he was ready
to take it away. Mrs. Rosenbloom
said that she did not know of her
thém mck. ;
Then an effort was made to oper-
ate the cages running up and down |
the hoisting shaft, but it was found
tha: the cages, the cables and the
guiges had been burned. There was
“absolutely no help for the imprisoned
miners.
The Hailey-Okla mine is owned by
Dr.’ D. M. Hailey, James Elliott and |
a number of Chicago and St. Louis
capitalists, among whom are several
directors of the Rotk -Iskand-’Frisco
road.
The property loss cannot be esti-
mated at this time, but may reach
$50,000. The mine is one. of the
most valuable in the southwest.

He was once pastor of a Presby-

years, obtaining an insecure liveli-
hood-as an insurance agent.’
In a remarkable letter which he
left to Charles N. Dowd, of this city,
who had befriended him, the former
pastor declared that he was lonely
even in the church when he attempted
to “square his soul by the teachings
of Jesus,” and asserted that the mod-

those of Jesus. : .
