JUDGE SEDDON IGNORES REQUESTS
OF ROBERTS FOR A STATEMENT.
Judge James A. Seddon. former law
partner of James L. Blair, was the Grand
Jury's most Important witness Is the Blair
Investigation at the session yesterday
afternoon.
Judge- Seddoa was in the Grand Jury
room aa hour and will return again te
day. Other witnesses yesterday were:
James Campbell, broker.
R, C Kann, bookkeeper In Blair's law
office.
Thomas P. O'Reilly, BlaJrs former ste
nographer. James T. Roberts, accuser of Mr. Blair,
who after five hours end thirty minutes
In the Grand Jury room on Friday after
noon was In the wltness-rooras all after
noon, but was not called before the Grand
Jury.
At 1:30 o'clock Assistant Circuit Attorney
Maroney informed Roberts that he would
not be needed as a witness and wouift be
telephoned for it wanted.
When Judge Seddon arrived in the witness-rooms
Roberts was there. They
nodded their recognition.
Judge Seddon took a, seat In a room
across the hall from the one where Rob
erts sat.
Roberts was told that Judge Seddon had
repudiated an interview In a morning pa
per on Sunday which purported to quote
Judge Seddon.
Roberts Immediately became very much
excited. Jumping from his chair he went
to the room where Judge Seddon sat and
raising his hand above his head de
manded: "Do you repudiate the Interview from
you I gave to this paper?"
Judge Seddon remained seated and calm
ly replied that he did not care to say
anything about the matter.
Roberts's excitement by this time was
increasing. Twice again he repeated the
question, and each time he was met with
the same calm answer:
"I have nothing further to say."
"Then I am done with you. I'll go be
fore the Grand Jury and tell all I
know."
Judge Seddon arose from his chair and
went downstairs to the first floor of the
Four Courts building. He returned In a
few minutes In company with Attorney
Thomas MulvilhiU. Detective James
Tracy followed them.
Chief Kiely. Chief Desmond and Assist
ant Chief Keeley declared that neither of
them sent Detective Tracy upstairs. The
detective, when asked why he was there,
stated that be "was looking out for
trouble." Asked who sent him he said:
"You had better ask Chief Keeley about
that."
ROBERTS DENIES
MAKING STATEMENT.
Two hours later, when an afternoon pa
per purporting to give the facts of the In
terview between Judge Seddon and Rob
erts arrived. Roberts again grew angry
He declared that he did not use the
words "You have .forsaken me," with
which he had been quoted by the paper.
"I never said such a thing." angrily de
clared Roberts. "I had no reason to say
ft. I never needed Judge Seddon In this
matter. Therefore, he could not have for
saken me. Judge Seddon needs me. If
he repudiates my interview lie's a d.
liar."
Roberts repeated this statement several
times and then declared: "I have al
ways been Judge Seddon's friend and hive
tried to shield him In every way."
A reporter then offered to confront
Judge Seddon in another room to prove
that Roberts had used the words: "You
have forsaken me."
Roberts Jumped at the suggestion, and
despite Deputy Sheriff Bernard DIckman's
efforts to prevent it. ..pushed into the
room where Judge Seddon sat.
"Did I say that?" he asked, pointing to
the paragraph In question.
"I do not care to be bothered by you,
Mr. Roberts," calmly replied Judge Sed
don. never arising from his chair.
Roberts insisted.
Detective James Tracy, who bad re
mained near Judge Seddon. stepped closer.
SHEHIFF PIMIKS
ROBERTS FROM nnoM.
Deputy Sheriff DIckmann stood between
the two men. "If Judge Seddon does not
wish to be bothered." said the deputy to
Roberts, "you will have to get out of this
room and let him alone."
With that DIckmann pushed Roberts
from the room.
Five minutes previous Judge Seddon and
Roberts were alone in the witness-room
and were In a heated argument. Roberts
doing almost nil of the talking, when De
tective Tracy and Deputy Sheriff DIck
mann entered.
Judge Seddon was the Grand Jury's first
witness. After being In the Grand Jury
room nn hour he came out and sat In the
witness-room, expecting to be called again.
Immediately following Ids second tilt with
noberts he left the Four Courts.
In his published statements Roberts has
been reported as sayliur that Judge Sed
don knew nothing of Blair's alleged Ir
regularities until he told" him. Roberts
declared that he bad given to Judge Sed
don "the whole story" and advised him to
get out of the firm.
Judge Seddon. over his Own signature
yesterday said: "I did have a conversa
tion with him (mcanlns Roberts) In which
he did most of the talking and I said very
little, but I did say to him that certain
facts which he had communicated to me
last summer and which I had at the time
denounced as false In very strong lan
guage, had been verified byme."
This statement on Judge Seddon's part
Is believed to have caused his summons
before the Grand Jury. As Judge Seddon 1
has thus far declined to discus, the case
Every piece of furniture in "Alrdrle" Is
owned by Mrs. Blair, according to a
statement of her son. but he declared as
absurd a story that Mrs. Blair had de
cided to sell most of her personal property
as a means of meeting some of Mr. Blair's
obligations.
From officials of the World's Fair It has
been learned that Mr. Blair's Income from
the Exposition Company was not so great
as might lie supposed. Mr. Blair icccived
a salary of J1S.O0O a year, but out of this.
It Is said, he paid the entire expense cf the
legal department of the World's Fair,
with the exception of one attorney, who
! stationed permanently nt the Adminis
tration building, and who attends to the
records of all the legal transactions of
the Fair.
During his tenure of office Mr. Blair
has frequently engaged the services of lIs
former law trartn'-r. Judge Jsznrs A. fed
don, but Judge Sneddon's remune-ntion
was deducted from Mr. Blair's allowance.
Tlie statement that Mrs. Blair receives a
salary of J1,ai a year as chairman of the
Board of Lady Managers Is erroneous.
There has never b-en an appropriation for
a salary for Mrs. Blair, but the World's
Fair Company has allow cd her traveling
expenses as well is actual expenses In
curred In attending meetliu:s of the lioard.
A coincidence In regard to the charges
recently made against Mr. Blair Is in the
fact that the Globe-Democrat, which was
the Orst paper to print the statements of
J. T. Roberts. Mr. Blair's accuter before
the Grand Jary. was formerly edited by
Frank P. Blair, father of James L. Blair.
Frank P. Hlalr was at one time manag
ing editor of the Globe-Democrat, and one
of the paper's principal stockholders.
outside the Grand Jury room. It Is not
known how much of the Roberts state
ment he has verified, and what be told
the Grand Jury yesterday afternoon
Broker James Campbell followed Judge
Seddon into the witness-room. It was
while Roberts was angrily denying the
afternoon paper's statement In the hall
way that Campbell emerged from the
Grand Jury room, glanced at Roberts, and
then hurried away.
Roberts, In his lengthy statement, said
that he had told Campbell of his allegel
discoveries concerning Mr. Blair. He sild
Campbell replied that he bad known of
the forgeries, but had been willing to ac
cept the explanation which had been of
fered. It Is said that the Grand Jury wished o
Investigate the truth of this statement on
Roberts's point, and asceraln if possible
from whom Campbell bad heard of th
alleged forgeries before Roberts) had told
nlm. Mr. Campbell. It Is believed, gave
the Grand Jury the desired Information.
He was In the Grand Jury room only fif
teen or twenty minutes.
ROIIEHTS SVYir CAMI'IIEI.I.
FAVORED A COMMITTEE.
Roberts also declared that Campbell had
suggested the appointment of a committee
of lawyers to Investigate Blair's affairs,
but after be had visited New York and
talked with Evans R. Dick, who declined
to discuss Blair's affairs, Campbell re
turned and told him that he had decided
to let the matter drop. It was along thb
line that Mr. Campbell was questioned
In the Grand Jury room, and from a re
liable source last night It was learned
that neither Campbell nor Judge Seddon
had added much to the Information al
ready In the possession of the Grand Jur
ors and Assistant Circuit Attorney Andrew
C. Maroney.
R. C Kann. bookkeeper for the firm of
Seddoa & Blair, and still employed In their
offices In the Missouri Trust building, was
next called. Mr, Kann. was before the
Grand Jury hall an hour. Ho declined to
speak of the situation before entering the
Grand Jury room. He seemed nervous.
Roberts talked to 1dm a few minutes.
The interview seemed unpleasant to liim
and he was heard to say:
"You know I was only employed In the
office and I do not era to talk about this
matter." -
The statement has been printed and
not yt denied that certain changes were
made In the books In the office at Mr.
Blair's suggestion and permitted to stand
as records of the firm's business. In
accurate entries also are reported to havu
ben made at Mr. Blair's desire to de
ceive others'.
Kann was asked about these reports by
the Grand Jury, it Is said. That he told
all he knew is not doubted. He was
employed In Mr. Blair's office fifteen years.
He Is named as a trustee In the XX.VO
deed of trust on Mr. Blair's home, which
was recently filed.
The Grand Jury may desire to Invesll
gate these books and a subpoena duces
tecum to have them brought to the Four
Courts Is not regarded as unlikely.
Thomas P. Reilly, now In the employ of
a trust company, formerly Mr. Blair's
stenographer, and B. R. Dennlson. a news
paper writer, were the last witnesses.
Rclllv was questioned about affairs In
Mr. Blair's office of which he was sup
posed to have knowledge.
Dennlson recently Interviewed Mr. Blair,
and before entering the Grand Jury room
stated that Mr. Blair had emphatically
denied the reports about him. Dennlson
al-M Interviewed other men who ha-e been
summoned as Grand Jury witnesses. It
took him not more than ten minutes to
give his testimony.
The Grand Jury's first action upon con
vening at 2 o'clock was to make a -partial
report of indictments found in routine
cases. When the Grand Jurors returned
to their room they went Into executive
session. Assistant Circuit Attorney Ma
roney was not In the room and Stenog
rapher Chancellor stepped out to the wit
ness room.
GItAND .IlllV I!OI.U
i:KClTIVn MISSION.
It has been a custom cf previous Grand
Juries to. vote on Indictments after re
questing the stenographer and Circuit At
torney to leave the room a few minutes.
In this Instance It has not been made
known what the executive session was
for.
It Is stated, however, that the BUIr case
was under discussion, but It is known
that no vote was taken. The executive
session lasted halt an hour.
The Grand Jury will reconvene at 2
o'clock thfe afternoon. When adjournment
was taken last Friday. James T. Roberts.
accuser of Mr. Blair, was Instructed to
return yesttrday, as It was understood
that, although he spent five hours and
thirty minutes In the witness chair, he
had not completed his testimony.
Whether Roberts will be called to the
Four Courts again to-day has not been
decided. The names of prospective wit
nesses are being kept closely guarded, awl
those who will ttstify this afternoon are
not known. It Is believed that the Grand
Jury desires to hear other witnesses be
fore Roberts Is called to complete his tes
timony. Nothing has been made public at the
Four Courts as to the prospect of wit
nesses coming from New York or Phila
delphia to testify before the Grand Jury
While Assistant Circuit Attorney Maroney
would neither affirm or deny the report
that he had requested the attendance of
such witnesses, it Is believed that he docs
not expect them.

courtship comparatively brief. Since her
husband'. death, about nine years ngo,
Mrs. Cone has spent her time alternately
In Washington and Madison. Gx
In the latter place she lived quietly with
her sister. Mrs. Joel Blllups. In Wash
ington, however, she was much seen In
society and In the foremost circles of the
capital she numbered her friends by
scores.
It was In Washington that Senator Stew
art met her. after the death of his first
wife. A few months ago the most Intimate
friends of the couple became aware that
the friendship of the two had ripened Into
something warmer, nnd not long after
that they were Informed of the engage
ment. The couple arrived In this city this
morning, accompanied by Judge Norwood.
At 7 o'clock this evening they repaired to
the hotel parlor, where they were Joined
by Doctor II. S. Bradley of Trinity Church
and a few invited guests', where the cere
mony was performed.
Tbe marriage was devoid of nny display
whatever. The bride Is more than thirty
years Senator Stewart's Junior. She Is a
brunette and Is quite handsome.
After the wedding the guests, all but
Juds? Norwood, departed. The bride, the
bridegroom and the best man. ndjoumed

unconscious of the stir they caused among
the hotel patrons.

Official Estimates Do Xot Show.
That West Point Men Ever Ate.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Oct. K. So far as th.
makers of War Department estimates HX
concerned, the battalion of 573 enllsteffl
men stationed at West Point has not had
anything to eat duties the last seven
or eight years.
The battalion Is under the direct con-
trol of the department. It is not at
tached to the organization on duty In the
Department of the East, and It therefore
Is the duty of the men who ma:e esti
mates of the money needed for expendi
tures under the direction of the Secre
tary or War to estimate tho number of
rations that will be needed.
Members cf the General Staff have Just
discovered that no estimate has been
made for these men. The fact that the
army is never recruited up to its full
strength enabled these men to feed from
the surplus of tbe subsistence stores.
Officially, they have been on a long
fast.
