LONDON, June 25.-With dramatic
suddenness the king lias been stricken
down upon the event of his coronation.
He lies in a critical state at Bucking
ham palace.
In spite of the intensity of this tragic
interruption the lower elements of
London last night went "innlicking"
through the flag decked streets, and a
portion of society, in coronation gowns
and Jewels, gathered at what was
called a galu coronation dinner at one
of the fashionable hotels. Even at
the gates of Buckingham palace, with
in which the ablest surgeons and phy
sicians constantly remained in tho
hope of saving the sovereign's life,
the tooting of horns and the sound of
other revelries could be plainly heard.
Wagon loads of boisterous rowdies
were on the streets driving in all sorts
of vehicles and waving flags and hug
ging demijohns of liquor, making their
noisj' way from the east end to
Whitechapel. They represented that
section of the British public which
tragedy can sober into decency. They
have tasted license unrestrained by
law in the celebrations in connection
with the war, and. king or no king,
they will celebrate the coronation.
Indescribable consternation prevails
throughout the country, and this cou

uoon Anthony Higgins asked that
a peremptory writ of mandamus be
issued in the ease of Content and
Company vs. the.Bay State Gas Co.
to compel the company to keep an
open stock record book at an office
in Delaware. Mr. Higgins said the
.Supreme Court had affirmed the
judgment of the Superior Court,
hut the mandamus had never been
issued.
Walter H. Hayes and Herbert H.
Ward, who represent tlie Gas Com
pany, held that the case is still in
the Supreme Court, as Mr. Higgins
had not obtained a mandate from
that court as required by its rules.
Mr. Higgius claimed that the certi
fied record of the case sent from the
Supreme Court to Prothonotary
Speakman is. sufficient information
for the Superior Court to have of
the affirmation of the decision. The
judges reserved their decision until
to-day.

Anthony Higgins for the plaintiff
in the case of Phillip vs. tho Sonora

!*U*» hearing
last night in Magistrate Hollis'
office soma sensational stories were
lAld. The men were arraigoed oca
charge of bribing the City Solicitor
to obtain informatio# to assiat
them in running lottery policy in
Wiiminglo'n. Martin was accuaed
specifically of paying #100 to the
city aolicitor, and Chadwick was
allege I to have offered #500 to that
official for proieclion. la addition
there was another warraot charg
ing Chadwick with conspiring to
eogage in lottery writing in this
city.
Magistrate Hollia, before whom
Chadwick and Martin were ar
raigned, deemed the evidence
sufficient to hold them and Chad
wick* bail wa* fixed at $8,000 and
Martin's at (7.000, which neither
was able to furnish. The $1,000
additional demanded of Chadwick
ia because of the conspiracy charge
agaioet him.
Attorney-General Ward and Dep
uty Attorney-General Richards
represented the state, and former
Judge Bali and Harry Joslyn ap
peared for the defendants, Mr,
Ball conducting the defeuse. Charles
Guyer took the testimony [or the
stats and Harvey Woods for the
defendants counsel, Martin and
Chadwick, manacled to each other
were taken from the City Hall to
the magistrates office at the open
ing of the hearing by Constable
Jones.
Attorney-General Ward expressed
a desire to bear botb bribery
charges at once to wbich Judge
Ball agreed. There was a legal
tilt however when Mr. Bail said
he han subpoenaed Mr. Reinhardt
as a witness and therefore request
ed that he be allowed (o look at a
book containing duplicates of let
ters tbe city aolicitor had been in
structed to produce.
Mr. Ward held that it could not
be seen by Mr. Ball until after it
was offered in evidence, and with
this understanding tbe hearing con
tinued.
City Solicitor Reinhardt said he
had bean acquainted with Chadwick
since February and with Martin
since Thursday last. The acquaint
ance with Chadwick arose out of
the examination conducted by the
Police Commission in regard to the
charges against former Chief Eu
gene Massey.
Chadwick was not a witnees at
the investigation, but the proceed
ing developed that Chad wick pos
sessed important information.
"There was a great deal oi opposi
tion developed against Chief Mas
sey," the solicitor continued, "and
it was my desire to get this that led
to my acquaintance with Chadwick.
I met him in Broad Street Station,
Philadelphia, one Sunday afternoon.
I have met him three cr four days
alter 1 first met him, iu my private
office.
"Did you ever have auy conver
sation with Chadwick in regard to
the payment of money to you," ask
ed Mr. Ward.
"Yes, on several occasions.
What first led tusucli conversation
I shall have to explain my object
of becoming acquainted with Chad
wick in order to answer. He had cer
tain information in reference to tha
charges and corruption in the police
department. 1 desired to find out all
about tlie transactions in the police
department In 1900 and 1901 and
also about a certain conspiracy
against Captain Ulack to oust him,
aad for the purpose of proving to
Samuel N. Knox and others, who
had befriended Massey that they
were wrong. Knox and Barney Mc
Vey were the main opposing forces
to the Investigation, Mr. Knox hav
ing approached one of the police com
missioners about It, and McVey hav
ing approached some of tile witnesses
When 1 found this 1 realized that I
had a big job on hand. As I said I
first metChadwick in Broad Street
Station and again In a few days later
in my office. Mr. Hall and Chadwick
and 1 were working together to got
some money ftom Mrs. Walls tliatslie
claimed Sam. Levy owed her. I
wrotetoChaclwIok eventually that 1
was sick of the whole thing and told
him Mrs. Walls ought to drop lior
claim against Levy as is was not a
legal claim.
Mr. Reinhardt then offered and
road the letter to which he referred
and it was put in evidence. A day
or two later, Mr. Reinhardt said
Chadwick came to him, but Rein
hardt said he told Chadwick lie was
busy and lie did not care whether
policy went on or not so long as it
was not brought to his attention,
"He said to me that Mrs. Wails
could not go to work right away,
that it wasn't safe to play policy in
town," Mr. Reinhardt continued.
"Chadwick seemed to got so confi
dent that I made up my mind to
lead him ou, and he spoke about
the possibility of running policy in
this town hut the matter of money
was not mentioned.
"I went to Attorney General
Ward at that time that Chadwick
was in my office and siuce then have
consulted him very much about
every visit Chadwick made. I soon
found Chadwick was hacking a syn
dicate to play policy hero and that
he was talking to certain writers
about having me 'fixed.' Later on
We talked the matter over consider
ably. He became a nuisance and I
told him ho could not run policy un
til aftor the May term, as tho law
might he tested and arrests made.
He kept away from me until June
(i or 8, and came again on Jline 14,
and began to intimate tiiat it was
worth a great deal of money for my
protection.
I asked him how, and he said that
he wanted Ups from the police de
partment as to when arrests would
be made. 1 told him I controlled
Chief Black. Ho then said he would
give $10,000 for tha privilege of r un
ning ten or seventeen books for a
year here. He also said Chief Massey
was paid (100 a week from August
1900, to March, 1901, for protection.
He then talked about thelegal course
a person would take it arrested for
lottery, and bespoke of bribing the
Municipal Court, the grand jury'
the petit Jury the judges the attorney
general, and myself for protection.
A'Jitlj
1 It did not Mt«r air mind until then
to hats the man arrested. Ctudwtelc
told ns htd paid John Lynn In tiro
latter pan at February or Marob,
1901, and that Lynn- put the right
names In tbs jury box, and that Lynn
was to get #25 tor stall gambler ac
qulted or if tbs jury disagreed. Its
said Bnrney McVey was the go-be
tween. For tome reason, Chadwick
said, the court threw out the juries.
"Nothing turned up of any conse
quence until last Wednesday night
when I got a letter from Chadwick
that Martin would be in my office
on Thursday noon. This letter was
produced by Mr. Reinhardt and
read. It stated that Martin would
he ready to "talk business,' 1 and
also expressed a desire that Chief of
Police Black be invited to Ches
to meet the chief of police th
so the gamblers could try to "i
him. The letter also contained the*'*™
information that Levy made #500 a
day from the ten books he ran in
Wilmington. Mr. Reinhardt ex
plained that he had a previous let;
ter in reference to compensation.
It also was read and stated: "Oh
good, fair, honest play in this city
would be worth #5,000 or #10,000.''
"There is a reference in this let
ter. It is understood no demand
for money should he asked. What
does that mean?" continued Mr.
Ward.
"At a meeting subsequent to this
lie mentioned to me that I had said
I wanted no money," said Mr. Rein
hardt, "but when he talked of brib
ery I changed my mind and decided
to get him. He , said that Massey
got #5,000 a mouth and that Levy
had offered #1,000 a month to run
seventeen books. The next letter
lie wrote me he began to hedge on
the #10,000 hut I might get #5,000,
and wonld get more later on. He
began to speak of 'fixing' and I a ' i
I bad control of Black. He said he
would give mo money when any
body needed fixing.
"In the letter of June 17," inter
rupted Mr. Ward, "Chadwick says:
'I would lie glad to arrange an in
terview with Mr. Black.' To whpm
did he refer?"
"To Chief Black.
"Mr. Black had nothing to do
witli this?"
"No, sir."
"He further says," added Mr.
Ward: "I could get the chief at
Chester to write to Black.' Did ha
ever talk to you about the chief at
Chester.
City Solicitor Reinhardt continued
to tell how he led the men on and
received the #100 which he gave to
Attorney-General Ward. He was
cross-examined by Mr. Bali.
Mr. Bail moved for the dismissal
of Martin an 1 Chadwick.• Ho read
thewarrant, which alleged that Mar
tin paid City Solicitor Reinhardt
$100 to obtain Information from him
as to when warrants would be Issued
against gamblers, whereas lie held
that the evidence or the City Sultcitoi
himself was that the $100 was paid
for tile privilege of engaging in tha
policy business. He held that till
warrant alleged a particular thing
which had not been proved. He also
argued that Chadwick was cot con
nected with tho bribery as lie was
not present when the inonov was
paid.
Attorney-General Ward in reply,
read from the Revised Code relating
to bribery, and pointed out that aid
ing and abetting bribery, such as lio
claimed had been dono by Chadwick,
really constituted bribery under tbs
law, and that Chadwick If indicted,
would be indicted for bribery tho
same as Martin would. Ho also held
that the proposition that it would ba
worth #10,000 to City Solicitor Rein
hardt fur protection constituted
bribery.
Magistrate Hollis in dismissing
Judge Ball's motion, declared ha
would have to hold Martin and Chad
wick. The magistrate deemed that
a bargain had been madeon 'Thursday
last, and the deal had been closed on
Monday.
