Two Thousand Rifles Great Quantity
of Ammunition and 800000 in
Counterfeit Money Uncovered
I by SecretService Men
WASHINGTON Jan 23 Startling developments in the plot to
1
11 1 overthrow the government of President Nord of Hayti have followed
the investigations of the Secret Service agents in New York in connection
with the arrest of Jose M Giordani on the charge of counterfeiting
Haytian money
The United States Secret Service announces that it has seized in
Brooklyn 800000 in counterfeit Haytian money 2000 rifles 230000
rounds of ammunition and correspondence of the revolutionary party
The ofllcers say they have aOCerla1ne < l
j that the prMoner was the agent of a
formidable conspiracy who o operations
probably would have extended beyond
the limits of llnytl Into Santo Domingo
and even Into Culm had the revolution
In Haytl been a success and the nsenta
tn New York remained unmolested
It was found among other things the
necret scrvlco operatives declare that
certain persons In Haytl mostly
Frenchmen and Corslcans and one of
them n brother of Ulordnnl were active
agents of the alleged conspirators and
re designated In the papers found
among Glordanls effects by numbers
Numbers Reveal Plotters
By careful Inquiry the Secret Service
men were able to connect these num
bers with the proper persons and the
first result was to fix upon Charles
Jllot the American Consular Agent at
6t Marc as one of the persons to
hom a number had been applied
Upon learning this fact last evening
th State Department Immediately
cabled to American Minister at Port
au Prince to dismiss this agont at once
from the employ of the United Stales
The action was taken because the
State Department eels that It must
e keep Itself absolutely trEe from any ap
pearance of sympathy with rebellious
rovemonts In LatinAmerican repub
lics
licsChief Wllkle of the United State
B crct Service made a statement to
day giving the facts and circumstance
connected with the arrest of Glordanl
which so to show that at the time of
his arrest Giordani had In his possession
counterfeit Haytian piper money t
the face value of JKOOfW two thousand
Remington rifles and 200000 rounds ot
ammunition all of Wikh It la said wn
Intended for the Haytian revolutionists
Stored In Brooklyn
when this
Six or fevim months ago
povernment was advised by Provisional
Governor Magoon that a small party
of malcontents were trying to stir up a
rebellion In Cuba It was discovered
that Glordanl was connected with them
At that time It developed that he had
represented Gen Firman during the
iHaytlan uprising In 190C Firman then
aa now was tho head of the revolution
ary party About that time Giordan
came to Now York and ever slnco tlier
the Secret Service officials have had
film under close surveillance
It was not long beforo It was discov
ered that Glordanl had stored In a
Vj Brooklyn warehouse sixteen cases con
jj taming 2000 Remington rifles In fine
r condition Close watch was kept on
f these cases and on Jan 4 by Glor
danls direction they were loaded on a
truck and hauled to the Hamburg
American steamship pier whence tho
steamer Gravcla was to sail on Jan
b for Haltlcn and other West Indian
ports The canes were marked Struc
tural Iron ° and the fictitious name of
C Mcrlam Co was given as the
I
consignee Connives Haiti was given
DS tho destination but the shippers
name was withheld
Cement Was Ammunition
There wero subsequently added to tho
consignment twentythroe barrel
market Cement The ofllclals had
become convinced that Olordanl was
engaged In sonio unlawful enterprise
And tho steamship company was not
JIM not to receive the cases of struc
tural Iron tho barrels of cement
nnd souls hoxoi which nlco hl1l iido
tholr appearance and upon learning
of this action Glordunl hO t i niu
nl nwny to another warehouse I
By that time the Secret Service had I

I ecured sulllulent evidence to warrant
them In opening all of the cases boxes

6000 Remington rllles the barrels the

arreit followed at once and In his
I apartment was found a large number
of letters from Gen Firman and other
revolutionists in Haytl and elsewhere
I
and other papers ana documents of im
portance
It was discovered that Ihe counter
I felt money was made In 1002 to finance
the revolution In that year A large
i amount was sent to the Island at that
time but upon the defeat of the revolu
t tlonlsts thu counterfcl money was dis
covered and burned by the govern
ment A quantity purporting to repre
j sent IVWOUO however remained In this
I country It Is stated that the plans of
the revolutionsts were to have the
arms ammunition and money arrive
at a certain time micro they were to
be met and taken possession of by a
revolutionary force which was expect
ed to capture the town
End of Revolt
Tho last part of the programme was
carried out but the vigilance of the
Secret Service officer frustrated their
plans aa to th arrival of the arms and
money and It Is believed that their
action will result In a speedy collapse
of tho revolution
Giordani Is said to be a Corsican by
birth and at one lime he was Consul
for Costa Rica at Santo Domingo His
hearing will take place In New York

Richly Attired Young First
Cabin Passenger Held
at Ellis Island
A beautiful young woman richly at
tiled anj occupying a stateroom In the
first cabin of the HamburgAmerican
steamship Ioltke was not pernUted to
land when the liner berthed today be
cause of several vivacious flirtations she
b alleged to have participated in dur
ing the voyage The captain of the
Moltke hal complained to an Immigra
tion Inspectress of these action and
address
woman had no
as the young
here and no husband waiting for her
at the pier she was taken to Ellis
Island
1 that
The detained voyager declared
wife of a
she Is Sirs Amelia Boris the
I Now York man Mr Boris would meet
1 her at the pier she said and there
i really was a man there waiting for her
but when Immigration Inspectress
I
Mooney got to him and nsked him If
I he was the handsome young foreigners
I husband he replied In the negative
Has Jewels and Money
I The ca < e Is one of the most unusual
ever handled by the Board of In ulrv
at E11H Island The vivacious young
woman was not only liberally supplied
with fine raiment rich furs and splen
did jewelry but carried in a silver
purse twenty thousand francs in
French currency
She boarded the Moltke at Naples
alone She had no friends or acquaint
ances among the passengers ill first
But directly afterward according to
the officers testimony before the
Hoard of Inquiry she became too pop
ulur with the unmarried men on the
ship The captain mid to Miss Moonoy
when sho boarded the ship at Quaran
tine that he had really been shocked
oy Mrs Boriss flirtations
Miss Mooney listened severely to the
captains story and then questioned the
fair passenger
Do you know where you am going
when you reach New York asked the
InspectrcsH Mrs Boris raised her eve
brows and then said with a rippling
laugh
He Denied the Fair One
I am going to fly to my husbands
arms Ho will meet me at the pier
She did not know her husbands ad
dress or any other address In this city
So Miss Moonoy waited until the
Moltke docked A tnll welldressed ma
was walling at the foot of the gangway
I way
wayAh He is there cried the beauti
ful passenger gathering her fur cloak
I about her and tripping forward But
the grim Inspectress bruwhed by her and
I ran to the side of the waiting man
Are you that ladys husband she
asked The man shook his head Ha
was only a frlenJ Ho would not tell
1 who he was and when he saw there
was golne to be trouble ihout the land
Ing of Mrs Boris he waved her adlej
and went away She prayed to Mlss
Mooney to allow hel to land but tho
Inspectress was obdurate The law
must bo obeyed notwithstanding the
beautiful garments and the 20000 francs
The only ground on which Mrs Boris
can ba deported Is that she Is not a
proper person Tho case has been post

I
SLAYER VICTIMS GUEST
AT TOWER SUPPER PARTY
Told Dr Wagner Another Alienist That He
Was Informed Evelyn Nesbit Be
longed to White Only Six Ex
perts to Be Called
Unexpectedly this became expert day at the trial of Harry Thaw Ii
In the absence of five witnesses expected on the Adriatic Ar Littleton
I ctlled Dr Charles G Wagner the Binghamton alienist and later Dr
1 Britton D Evans who is responsible for the phrase brain storm which
j fieured in the last trial
I It was known in a way that the Binghamton expert had been thrown I
i in the breach to kill time and the drowsy audience in Justice Dowling 1
courtroom alternately dozed and yawned until Wagner began to give in I
detail some things which in the last trial had been skimmed over very
I lightly
It developed that Thaw revealed to Wagner that he had once at t
j tended a dinner in Whites tower rooms on top of Madison Square Gar
I den that he had been informed the first time he ever saw Evelyn Nes i
bit that she belonged to Stanford White who had red whiskers and I
looked like a monkey and that only a few months before the tragedy I
Thaw had begged DistrictAttorney Jerome to put Stanford White in i
the penitentiary but Jerome had refused to give him any aid because he
believed it was merely a jealous row for the favor of a girl
Dr Evans recounted his visits to Thaw in the Tombs putting par j
ticular emphasis on the selfimportance exhibited by the prisoner and his I
i persistence in referring to plots against him
i Two of the jurors slept peacefully through a long dissertation by
I Dr Wagner on the functions and peculiarities of the cranial nerves
Another itness was Dr Charles S Bailey an Albany physician j
who had once treated Thaw on a railroad train when Thaw was drunk I
The Albany practitioner had been fully convinced at the time that Thaw
I
was irrational
Justice Dowling announced that at a conference with counsel it had
been agreed that each side was to call only three alienists This an
nouncement was greeted with a sigh of relief by the members of the jury
It is probable that the case will go to the jury before the end of nex
week
Dr Britton D Evans Tells
Results ot Observations I
Dr nrltton O Evans of the Morris
1lalns Asylum N J who coined the
word brainstorm at the last trial was
called by the defense early In the after
noon session Mr Littleton laid he would
Dr Evans as far as the
only carry
hypotliethlcal question which had not
yet been framed
Dr Kvans who Is nn old courtroom
foo of Jerome smiled genially In the
nistrictAltorneys direction as he took
his seat lie proceeded at onco to tell
of his experience In the treatment and
study of the Insane
Dr Evans said ho first saw Thaw
when ho went to the Tombs Aug 4
1904 Ho was unaccompanied by any
aher physician
