O'MEARA ASSAULT
STILL A MYSTERY
Other Persons in the Neighbor

the Stranger.
ALWAYS WANTED MR. TAYLOR.
Former Lieutenant fJovernor's
Wound Is Healing, lmr He May
I5e Scarred for Life as Re
sult of Experience.
Developments of yesterday In the mys
terious attack of Monday night on John
It. O'Mcara at his residence only serve
to increase, the mystery, with the addi
tion of the theory that the assailant, per
haps was a demented man with a mania
for kiltin?. Two cirrcumstances which
came to light yesterday mak- It probable
that the stranger had been frejuentlng
the neighborhood of his attempted crime
for some time.
Mrs. Farrand. who conducts a restaurant
at No. r.2 North Taylor avenue, between
Delmar and Washington avenues, an 1 not
far from Mr. O'Meara's resid-ncc. yester
day morning gave the police a clew.
If the police followed u; the clew no
results were ar.nounee.l. no arrests were
nride. and the official semcd as much
in the dark as to the identity of ths
stranger as ev.r.
According to Mrs. Farrnnd. a stranger,
resembling the d?cr!p;Ion given by Mr.
O'Meara. has !nen taking his evening
meal at her restaurant regularly for the
last five or six days. She said he. wa3 in
th restaurant Mirnlaj- night, th" night of
the assault, at abuti' 7 o'clock.
Lis; r.ight he did not appear at the res
taurant. When Mrs. Farrand told the police about
the m.m. it w.is agreed, she says, that a
detective should .. stationed list night
across the street from the restaurant to
1-e in read:res to respond to her signal
in cue the customer should appear.
Mr. I-".irrai.d s,d last night thit sh?
had not seen the detective at the agree!
station, t-.or ha'd th- man in pution ap
peared at th" res'.mratit
On :h!s .ceeasion thi neighlmr. who

New York, t'ept. 19. An attempt to
make a sensation out of the retirement of
Joseph Ramsey Jr. from the directorate
of the Ann ArliOr Railroad at its nuetlng
last Saturdav- fell flat to-Iay.
It was said in Wall street that Mr.
Ramsey had lieen "'turned down" and was
forced out of the presidency and director
ate of the rad.
When asked about the matter. Mr. Ram
sey said:
"My resignation from the Ann Ar!or
was placed in the hand- of the Uoard of
Directors list June before 1 sailed for
U-rupe. Since I returned from aibroad
they expressed their desire for me to re
main. Rut In view of the fact that I had
fo much business to attend to I did pot
wish to do so. The action taken at Sutur.
I uay s meeting is in entire aivrunnce win
' my views. It i without sicnificince. The
Ann Arbor is not a Gould property, and
Mr. George Gould and I simply went into
it on account of 11 svndicaie n.-irtlelo.'i-
tloti. Since then all the sicck has been
sold."

Mr. Ramsey said that hrW pr.-paring
a statement which he intended to send
out to stockholders and debenture bond
holders of the Wabash, covering the entire
situation in his fight with the Goulds. He
. added
J "I think it is due to them, as well ns to
j me that I lioul,i make such a statement.
J This i because there Lave been so many
i compltx statements and opinions published
:is to the differences that have arisen. I
think something should be prtpartd that
will clear the air. I won't make public
the statement I am preparing, but the
newspapi rs can no doubt secure it after
it has pat;e to ih.e stockholders.
"Wiiile I lnv v . n clenitd access to the
tn.nsf.r books. I have a very fair list cf
the stockholders. I don't know- Jut when
I will send my statement out. but It will

Mr. Ramsey said that he was not sur

the Mercantile Trunt Company, in connec

Turner loans." and that the.-- payment
were without authority, so fr as th-
records of the jaoclety disclose. becaro;
known to-day. when Iul Morton, presi
dent of the society, made public a rurt
on the subject submitted by him to t!:
society's directors.
These transactions ccurred in, what Mr.
Morton refers to as "the Turner leans."
The "Turner loans." Mr. Morton's report
sets forth, were carried In ll by thi
Western National Panic, which was i-on-t
rolled by the Equitable IJfe Astmratice
Society The collateral for the lo.in-s wis
objected to by a bank examiner, and
Henry B. Hyde then agreed to trar..fVr
the loan and collateral to the Mercantile
Trust Company, At that time, apparently,
the loans amounted to ISS1.491.
ATTEMPTS TO DEVELOP
PHOFf'RTV PROVE COSTLV.
George V. Turner, in whose name th
loans stood, was secretary to Louis Fitz
gerald, then president of the Mercantile
Trurt Company, and a close business as
sociate of Henry B. Hyde. The leans ware
I guaranteed by Marcellus Hartley. John K
Searler. laouis Htzgeratd. W. N. I'oi.r
Jr. and II. B. Hyde.
On March 21. 1SX. the same guarttitor"
i renewed their guaranty, the loans having
grown to SI.7ta.47. the Increase being d;:
to attempts to develop the property on
which the collateral for the loans was
made. Part of this collateral was given
j by John W. Young and consisted of all
, Lake and Bistern Railroad stock, ar.d
' other Salt Lake stocks. This e-olt.iter.il
I proved to be of little value.
Other collateral consisted of e-ontrarts of
the Kentucky Mineral and Timber Com
pany and the Amity Land 'and Irrigation
Company of Colorado.
Attempt were made to develota the Ken-
, tucky prop-rty and the Colorado property,
j and large sums were expends I for that
j purpose, and by July 1. IX.. the cost of
I the Kentucky property stood at l'l.i"r
