Consul General J. W. Ragsdale of

Taotals Cheng, Ching-tao and Liu
Shihklen have been appointed direc

pectively, with full powers to engage
foreign experts, purchase machinery,
and do all other matters with a view
to enable them to perform their

Denver. Colo. August 28 The jury
in the federal court here last night
returned a verdict in the Lost
Spanlfh Bullion Mines case. On
the two counts charging fraudulent
misuse of the malls the defendants
were all found guilty, two, however,
being recommended for clemency. On
the other count, charging conspiracy
to defraud by the use of the mails,
all but two of the defendants were
found guilty. The defendants are:
C. L. Blackman.A. E. Knaebels. R.
C. Hunt. Arthur Levan, I). H. Law
rence, D. P. Perkins and Edward
Scbben. all of Denver; W. B. Camer
on, of Boulder, Colo. ,and George 3.
Dubois and Lee Dubois, of Silver City
N. M.
Plnkus and Hunt, while found
guilty on the first two counts, were
recommended for clemency, and they
were both acquitted on the second
charge. The court granted the de
fendants until September 12 to apply
for a new trial.
The arguments yesterday were
stirring in the extreme and the court
room was crowded.
As to Llnderman
"As to Llnderman, we are com
pelled to ask the question: Is he an
Idiot or is he a rascal? I think it
was an insult to the court to have
such a man give such evidence as he
gave, saying that this cave was worth
120,000,000, not counting 31,000,000
tons of low grade ore."
Very Impolitely, although In a very
dispassionate tone, Assistant United
States District Attorney Ernest
Knaebel dlsmisseo. as unworthy-of
consideration the testimony of Prof.
Llnderman, mining expert and au
thority. Knaebel opened the argu
ment for the government In the Lost
Spanish Bullion Mines case yester
day. He was followed by Ralph Talbot
for the defense. C. W. Franklin
made the main address in behalf of
the Indicted promoters and District
Attorney Bone closed for the prose
cution. Xii Ore Krotn Mino us Kvldence
Mr. Knaebel In his argument call
ed attention to the fact that the de
fense had not offered to bring any
ore from the "mine" and produce It
In court as evidence that it was real
ly a mine.
"Now, If I were Indicted on such
a charge." he said, "and I believed I
had a mine, I would send down there
and bring up a whole carload of ore
and show It right here In court, with
the assay returns, if they really had
any valuable ore In their property,
why didn't they produce some of It.'
That is what I would do If I wanted
to prove my innocence and I think
that any of you would do the same.
That seems to me to be the surest
method of procedure In such a case,
and the simplest."
This line of argument brought Mr.
Talbot again, and for the last time
in this case, Into conflict with the
court. He took exception to Mr.
Knaebel's statements and said that
he had wanted to offer some ore in
evidence but that Mr. Knaebel had
himself objected and had been sus
tained by the court. The objection
had been made on the ground that
the ore was obtained since the Inves
tigation had been started and that,
at the time the promoters were sell
ing the stock, they had not reached
the depth at which those particular
samples were found.
Culled Talliot Down
"Mr. Talbot, you must not lead the
jury to think that the court would
not let you olTer in evidence any pro
duce that would prove you had a
mine," said the court. "If you had
shipped any ore and gotten valuable
returns, you would certainly have
been allowed to show it.
"In fact, I will now permit you to
show that you have shipped any ore
and obtained any returns from It. if
you can do si, the case will be re
opened and you shall have opportun
ity. That objection was sustained
because the ore you offered to pro
duce was obtained since this investi
gation was started and because it
was stuff that you hud not discovered
at the time you began to sell the
stock.
"1 shall consider this in my In
structions to tile jury."
Counsel for the defense did not
a1, ail lliemseU c- of tbe court's offer
to re-open the case for the offering
of ore fr nil the "mine" us evidence.
Mr. Knaebel's argument consisted
lii. fiy of a resume of some of the
princip:'! p o!:.:s in the evidence, Its
reference to George and Lee Pu Hois
w. s t v. n more .-.c.iiliing than his
opinion ,f prof, l.inderman.
"I would rather pass over both the
I'u Boh.es if possible." he .said, "but
I can't, l am compelled to make
s one ref -rence to ihe-e persons w h
get up in court and caimly acknowl
edge that they have perjured them
selves. Scores Two l)n Hold's
"That they have perjured them
selves is obvious. The question for
you to determine is when they did so,
whether it was in signing tiio'
sAoin statements or heie l:i court, ! i
saying that they were signed under
duress.
"Welf-confessed perjurors either
way you decide, what faith can you
have In their word?"
Kalph Talbot replied specifically
to this, hinting broadly that Post
office Inspectors Macomic and Rlddi
ford could not help being carried
away by their zeal In Investigating
the case and their anxiety to secure
a conviction against the promoters.
"If It is true that Riddlford and
Macomic have so overcome human
nature," he said, "If they have so
completely disassociated. themselves
from any feeling in this case, and If
those three statements signed by old
man Du Bois were true aiid were
freely and voluntarily made without
duress or threats, then what was the
use of dogging the old man from
room to room in this building, smug
gling him out through the basement
and dragging him off to a room In
the Shirley hotel where he was
watched all night? What' was the ue
of all this If he had made those
statements of his own free will?"
Th Meeting
As for the minutes of the com
pany and' the reports of directors'
meetings at which Arthur Levan was
the only one present, although all the
directors signed, Mr. Talbot said that
such procedure was not only general
In Colorado but perfectly legal.
"The evidence shows that the di
rectors met amongst each other al
though not formally organized as a
meeting." he said. "They simply saw
each other and agreed that certain
actions should be taken by the board.
They then communicated this one by
one to the secretary, who extended
their actions on the looks. The di
rectors then called at the office at
their convenience and signed the
minutes. Such minutes are perfectly
legal and proper and no Imputation
of guilt can be drawn from these
facts, as the court will Instruct you."
Mr. Talbot arrayed the list of gov
ernment witnesses who Baid that the
Lost Bullion property was a cave
against his own who said that it. was
a mine and declared that the men
who testified for the defense were
Just as numerous and worthy of
credence as those for the prosecu
tion. "It Isn't necessary for me to speak
for Prof. Llnderman," he said, "his
record speaks for Itself. Haven't we
lived here as neighbors? Has he not
been amongst Us 25 years? And yet
Mr. Knaebe'l calls him an Ini'becile."

SIGHT OF POLICEMAN'S

Awakened Suddenly by - Of
ficer. He Admits Having
Killed Negro.
HAS BEEN DODGlXGo-
FOR PAST TWO YEARS
Chicago, August 28. The old say
ing that murder will out,
came true. In an unusual way last
night when Policeman Frank Walsh
awakened a man who was asleep in
a doorway at the Illinois hospital.
The man opened his eyes, saw the
policeman's star, and leaping to his
feet, cried out, "You want me for
murder. You are a policeman."
Then he started to run but the po
liceman captured him.
At the station he broke down and
confessed that he Is Charles F.
Murbage, wanted In llreenleaf, S. C
with a man named W. H. Hawiey,
for the murder of a negro named
tlus Tanner two years ago. He said
Hawiey so far has escaped arrest and
that he had been a fugitive for two
years.
Order Him Held
Columbia, S. C, August 28. Gov
ernor Ansel's Mcretary has wired
Chief Shlppey of Chicago to hold
Burbage pending an investigation of
the case.
Inquiry here has elicited tne fact
that a killing took place at (Ireen
leaf two years ago, two white men,
Burbage and Hawiey, becoming In
volved in a row with the negro, Ous
Tanner, which finally resulted In
Tanner being beaten and shot to
death. There has never been any
great effort made to apprehend eith
er of the two men and It Is prob
able that Burbage might never have
been arrested had ho not divulged
his guilt.

Friends at Mountalnalr Have
Scoured That Section But
Have Little Hope of
Flndlngllltlm
Alive.
Mountalnalr, X. M., August 28.
fSMTlal.) Howard Coleman, a
young engineer who' formerly worked
on the Eastern Hallway of New
Mexico, with S. A. McCoy, near
Vaughn, but who came to his home
near here last Friday, sick, left his
room Monday night while in a de
mented condition and wandered
away. Thus far searching parties
have been unable to find him and It
is almost certain that he has perish
ed In the mountains. His mother,
who resides In Davenport, la., has
been notified by wire of his disap
pearance. Coleman, though a young man,
was an expert engineer, and he wus
one of McCoy's favorite men. He had
been employed on the Eastern Hall
way of N'ew Mexico, or Helen cut-off
as it Is more commonly known for
some time, and was well known all
along the line. Of late weeks he had
been working near Vaughn, and was
noted as one of the steadiest men on
the Job.
While he wns working at various
points along the cut-off he has re
tained his residence at Mountalnalr,
which is at the top of the Abo pass,
and famed for Its excellent climate
and the beauty for Its scenery.
Suddenly 1 1 taipcarpl
Last Friday, after having suffered
with , illness for some days, though
he kept at work, Coleman notified
his employers that he was too 111 to
work and he Immediately came to
his home here.
His condition became gradually
worse until Monday night. A nurse
who was in charge of the patient
that night, stepped out of the room
for a moment. On his return, he
found that Coleman had left his bed
and a search of the house failed to
show any sign of the sick man. He
had been delirious at times, and as
none of his clothing was missing. It
became apparent that he had left the
house In a moment of delirium.
Searching Parties I'nMiipocNNfiil
As soon as It was discovered that
he was missing, an alarm was given
and within a short time a number
of men began a search for Coleman,
which up to the present time has
been unsuccessful.
The searchers have Visited every
part of the mountain and canyons
near here, and carefully gone over
every possible place where a. man
might lie hidden, but not a trace of
the missing man, further than a foot
print made by a bare foot near the
north end of the town, has been dis
covered. WuUiiniiiii Saw Figure
A watchman on some machinery
In the cut-off yards here saw a
figure flit past him Monday night a
short time after Coleman had disap
peared, but before he could locate
the movement a second time, the
figure was lost to view. He believes
that It was t.'oleman, who, when he
left his room, as far as Is known,
wore nothing except his night cloth
ing. The search will be kept up until It
Is positively known that the young
man Is dead, or until he Is found
alive, though scarcely anyone now
expects to find him alive, as his con
dition at the time of his disappear
ance was such that the exposure
would undoubtedly have killed him.

President Small Says AH Reports
From Every Source Are En

Will Win Their
Struggle.
Arkansas City, Kas., August 28.
The local office of the Western Union
Telegraph company, together with
all Instruments, office records and
furniture, was destroyed by fire ear
ly today. The building was saved.
The fire Is believed to have been In
cendiary. The union telegraphers are ablins;
In a search for the Incendiary. They
are not openly charged with the
crime, and only a few people insinu
ate that they caused the fire, direct
ly or Indirectly.
No IH.scxHimglng Ilcort
N'ew York, August 28. President
S. J. Small of the striking telegraph
ers is carrying on an active campaign
from his quarters at the Astor house
He is In touch with the strike situ
ation In Chicago, Washington, St.
Louis, Kansas City, Cleveland, Bos
ton and other centers, and from not
one source was there a discouraging
report.
In Bplte of the continued state
ments of Western Union and Postal
officials that their business is running
nearly as well as usual, the average
citizen who tries to use the -telegraph
finds a decidedly different situation.
Complaints are pouring into the un
ion headquarters from business men.
who threaten suits against the com
panies for non-delivery of telegrams.
' Proopects) Blight -
"Prospects were never brighter" for
a successful issue of the strike," said
Mr. Small., "The companies are In
worse shape today than they have
been at any time since the men walk
ed out. We have agents within ear
shot of every high official of the two
companies una we know exactly
what the conditions are.
"it Is positively known that the
Portal companies planned to pull off
a stampede yesterday mornlg. They
failed utterly and the double line ot
pickets which we threw around their
main office here had nothing to do.
Men Am Collapsing
"The strikebreakers are on the
verge of collapse. They have been
employed night and day and the !
mands on them are more than any
human being can stand for more
than two weeks. In the Western
Union office chief operators and oth
er officials are working the keys In
an effort to keep up a pretense of
currying on business.
"The Western Union abolished the
double pay system commencing yes
terday. One-half of the force work
ing here last week failed to report
after they had received their pay on
Friday."
Mr. Small snld he met Federal
Commissioner Nelll In Chicago, but
that the meeting was purely social
and the strike was not discussed. He
added that the union was amply pre
pared to support the strikers for two
months If necessary: also that the
executive board of the Federation of
Labor would In a day or two take up
the matter of the federation's rela
tion to the strike.
