NATURE OF CHARGES
WITHHELD AT PRESENT
R. M. Hurd, Chairman of State
Prison Commission, on Stand
at Westchester.
Thomas kfotl Osborne, scored a vic?
tory nnd suffered n defeat In th? Su?
preme Court In Whit? Plain? yesterday.
The victory lay in the announcement by
the court that the grand Jury would
not be allowed to end It? Sing Sing In?
quiry until the witnesses favorable to
the warden had b?on heard. D? lost on
hi? demand that the accusation?
again?t him be made public Immediate?
ly. On thl? point the decision was re?
served.
This demand, based upon the making
of the charges In open court and th?
reading of part of the minute? ?nd one
affidavit against him by A?sistant Dis?
trict Attorney William J. Fall?n, wa?
?rgued by 'reorge Gordon Pattl?. Mr
I urged that fair play and equity
demanded that Osborne be allowed to
know the charges against him.
The Assistant District Attorney, he
said, had offered to mak? publia ?very
| connected with the caa? and the
offer had been accepted orally and in
writing.
".Mr. O'bome Is entitled as a matter
of common justice and fair play,'' aaid
Mr. Rattle, "to know the nature of the
testimony and the names of the wit?
nesses upon which the District Attor
ney has made publicly these monstrous
charges against him.
"livery man accused of crime Ii en?
titled to know the name of his ac?
cuser and the nature of the ac?
cusations. Mr. Osborne Is c?r
tninly entitled to this fundamental
right By virture of the charge made
Sgsinit Mr. Osborne by the District
Attorney, the so-called Investigation
before the grand jury has become a
prosecution against Mr. Osborne. He
is entitled, therefore, to In? protection
of the court, as is every defendant; and
h? should, therefore, be nllowed to
'iinea of the witnesses and
the nature of their testimony ?gainst
iy defendant is entitled to
that privilege."
Assistant District Attorney Walter J.
. did not oppose
the motion, agreeing to do whatever
the court might decide to be the prop?
er thing.
"I never heard of suih a motion,"
?aid the court, "and while I beneve I
have the power to make the order
asked, I fear that by doing so I might
establish a dangerous precedent."
"There Is no danger of that, your
honor," assured Mr. Battle, "for the
very good reason that this is a most
BBBSBSl case and one that will in all
probability never arise again."
"A i ild the court, "never
amounts to anything unless it is backed
up by nn indictment or a conviction.
The public must take the view that
the law It laid down for it the same a?
the courts above lay down the law we
have to follow. I am not trying this
case for the public. I am trying " for
myself, for my conscience and for jus?

Later, in the office of her lawyer,
Abraham Landau, of 846 Broadway,
Misa Samuel? lifted her veil and ?hyly
un?w?red a few question? put to her
by s Tribune reporter. It wa? ?ppar

South American ?eftortta? who cama

It was not a shark fight, but a anaka
fight. The arena wa? the n?we?t gyro

Snake? Enter Arena.
When off the coast of Florida the
doctor cleared the billiard table for the
battla. He brought on two ?nakes, on?
a large, non-poisonous specimen that
kill? its victim by wrapping itself about
it and cruBhing it to death, and th?
other a small, venomous snake of light?
ning activity. Tha second snake was
four feet long not quit? half the size
of its antagonist.
Dr. Brasil explained that no snake
; would eat or tight unless it were angry.
! The contenders, ho said, were of the
types that eat once a year. The big
1 one had beta fed last Christmas, when
i* swallowed a young pig. The small
one acted ai though it had not been fed
since the discovery of the River Du
?d by hi? young daughter, Dr.
Braeil placed the fighters at opposite
? ends of the billiard table and began to
I rub their scale? the wrong way. But
? at this moment something happened
i that robbed victory of its sting. An
? aid of the doctor told him that another
of his snake? had died of seasickness.
: That made the eleventh that had to be
i buried at sea, ami the doctor couldn't
' take chances of losing another.
Rather than disappoint the crow.!, 1 ?
? took a stick and teased the smaller
' snake until his repeated blows had e*>
baaeted all the snake's poison. Then
he released th? ??rpents, and with a
quick, wriggling motion, their heads
high and their tongues vibrating, thev
sped at each other. More than ona
1 scream came from the audience when
i the small reptile ?anks its fangs into
! th? nick of tha big constrictor.
Doctor Prevent? Fatality.
In the wilds of Brazil that would
have been 'he death blow, but the blow
had been robbed of ita desdliaeos. With
a twirl, th? big serpent coiled into a
and within the spiral was the
i, helpless, smaller snake. Slowly
contracting its powerful muscles, the
