5 4 1i If I. LIEBKE Gets a Breathing Spell Until Friday. MISS BAYLESS DID NOT APPEAR. Had Gone To St. Louis On the Advice of Friends, ELDER LIEBKE FEELS BETTER Took Ills Offspring Home To Remain Until the Trial.

FATHER WILL SERO HIM TO SCH3CL When the case of J. P. Llebke. charted with an attempt to detain Miaa Amelia Baylesa. was called in tta police Court yesterday morning it developed that upon the ad rice of Col.

Thomas W. Bullitt, friend and attorney of the family, the young lady had returned to her father's home. A letter from CoL Bullitt to the court and a written statement by the defendant. Lie bice, were read by Attorney EheOd. CoL Bumtr law partner, and a vigorous effort was made by him C.

F. LIEBKE. (Father of tile boy.) and by Attorney Klrby, who represents the defendant, to secure a termination of the case. Prosecuting Attorney Thur-tnan opposed a dismissal of the case with -TtwI visor, the result being thai Judge Thompson sustained hia motion for a continuance bond, chiefly upon the absence of Miss Baylesa. The case was first set for Wednesday, but upon -Mr.

Eheild'a request this was changed to Friday. Judge Thompson ordered an attachment for the young lady. The largest crowd that has filled the Police Court room for many a day gathered In anticipation of a trial, a large number of young society men being pres. ent. Llebke remained In the Bond Com mUaloner's office until the case was called.

There was a general desire among those who did not know him to see him. and half a dozen different young attorneys were by divers persons settled upon as the defendant. It was :30 o'clock before Judge Thompson, having disposed of preliminary business, called up the case. J. F.

LIEBKE. (Ths young man who created ths sensation.) Llebke," called Prosecuting Attorney Thurman. picking up the warrant from his desk. Bailiff Vetter called the name In a louder voice, but there was ro answer, and the crowd manifested some uneasiness. He Is In the Bond Commissioner's office." said some one.

"I ask for a forfeiture and a bench warrant." Mr. Thurman said, addressing Judge Thompson. "If your Honor pleases," exclaimed Attorney Sheild, rising from his seat In the crowd around the bar. "I understand that he is In the Bond Commissioner's office. At Mr.

Thurman's suggestion Llebke was called again, and again, after a de-- lay. a forfeiture was asked. At length, however. Llebke came In with bis father and his attorney. Mr.

Kirby. and sat down In front of Judge Thompson, a little space being made In the crowd for them. The Commonwealth's witnesses were then called. "Call Amelia Bayless. Mr.

Thurman ordered, when the other witnesses l-ad been summoned. The bailiff's call produced no response. Mr. Thurman turned to the court. -W are not your Honor," he Said "severs or our witnesses re sent.

CoL Bullitt, was special adviser of the family of the young lady. CoL Bullitt is unavoidably absent, but he sends this letter, which is addressed to the court." Mr.

Sheild then read the following Statement from CoL Bullitt: Loutmtle. Au. 6. "ST. Hon.

Confident In these views, and believing mat under the circumstances recently made public, this young girl should be under the shelter of her father's home. I 5.f dvlsed her friends to take her there, and It has been done. Trusting that I may not be deemed to have violated a duty to the court or to society, I am yours very respectfully, TH03 W. BULLITT.

"Now. Tour Honor." Mr. Sheild continued, when he had concluded CoL Bol-JRt letter, "I have received, as a member of the Arm of Bullitt A Sheild. a frank and candid statement from Mr. Liebke." "One moment." Mr.

Thurman Interrupted, ea Mr. Rheild heran in resit -T would like to Inquire the object of alL WW, "Let me read this paper," replied Mr. Sheild. "and I will show It." "The Commonwealth has made a motion for a said Mr. Thurman to Judge Thompson, "and I object to any statement from the defendant." "He can make his motion tn his own way." Judge Thompson decided.

Mr. Sheild then read the following statement of Liebke: "Louisville. Aug. 1897. Messrs.

Bullitt A Sheild Oentlemen: I desire, to make to you a frank statement ef my connection with this unfortunate matter with reference to Miss Baylesa. I hava known Miss Bayless since she took up her residence In St. Louis, and bare always regarded her as a pure, honorable lady, and at no time, baa her conduct ever giren me any excuse or provocation for my conduct, which I am informed she understood to be an attempt on soy part to caress her last Frldsy night. On that night I was very much Intoxicated and utterly Irresponsible for any part of ray acts what, ever they were. I can only say that they were without reason or excuse.

I most deeply deplore th- occurrence, and desira to assure the public that Miss Bayless la absolutely blameless in the matter, and that I stand without excuse for any of my actions, except as herein stated. Respectfully. J. F. LIEBKE." Mr.

Sheild said If this statement were raeand fee understood that It had been corroborated by Miss Baylesa the matter sank from a crime to the level of a piece of childish folly a mere- attempt to steal a kiss. "The case is new to me." said Prosecuting Attorney Thurman. "But I find here a warrant charging a young man with a felony. I am Informed by the officers that he Is charged with making an assault. In a carriage, upon a young lady.

I do not think. Judge." he concluded, vigorously, "that It is a case that ought to be wiped off the docket." Mr. Klrby. who had been sitting beside his client. Llebke.

here arose and called attention to the fact that the mau ter had appeared In court In the most in-formal way. His client, he said, had been brought In and a warrant had afterward been -Issued on the order of the court- No one had come forward to wear, as the statute contemplates, that a felony had been committed. The affair bad. he urged, been very greatly exaggerated. Great weight, he thought, should be given the statement of the persons most interested, as made by their accredited counseL The most that could be done, he held, would be to fine his client for disorderly conduce if the evldenc Justified this.

Mr. Thurman said that he presumed the warrant had been issued upon evidence which Judge Thompson considered to indicate that a fetony bad been committed. He reviewed his own information a to the case. "I don't think a matter of this sort should be dropped without an Investigation." he urged strongly. "A felony may not have been committed, but the suppo sition is that there was.

I would, not I arag sv youosr taay mio a puoiic pnccii-tlon for a trivial matter. An investigation here can do no barm." "Let the case be passed till day after to-morrow, and Issue an attachment." said Judge Thompson In a tone: that indicated fully hia opinion and showed the futility of further argument. "If your Honor please." Attorney Shields cried, a the crowd began to break np noisily and surge toward the doors, "if this case Is to be continued desire CoL Bullitt to be present when it la called up again. He Is out of the city and will not be back till Friday." There was no objection offered and the matter wee set for Friday. Among the witnesses who were called are Case and Herbert Ashbrook, Charles Elliott, T.

C. Tlmberlake. George Miller. FhU Lee. Guthrie Chilton.

Sam Isaacs and William Mix. As Mis Bayless has returned to Ht- Louis. ia not at all probable that eh will return to appear against Liebke. She Is beyond the reach of legal process. Mr.

C. P. Llebke seems Inclined to look upon the whole affair very leniently. SpeeJttna to Courier-Journal reporter yesterday afternoon. Mr.

Uebke aaid he believed his son bad been guilty only of Indiscretion and that he was convinced the young man would bare attempted no violence. If dismissed ia the City Court Friday morning- young Liebke, so hiss father says, will be sent to a military school, where he will remain until the affair ceases to occasion gossip. Mr. Llebke and his son left last night for St. Louis.

Miss Baylesa left for her home In St. Louis Sunday night In company with her aunt. Mrs. Aaron Cornwall, and her little cousin, Mrs. Cornwall's son.

Mr. Cornwall was asked yesterday about the story that Miss Baylesa and Mr. Llebke were to be married. Mr. Cornwall said he bad never heard anything about such a marriage and he believed that Miss Baylesa would never speak to young Liebke again.

It is understood, however, that MUs Baylesa told friends that she was engaged to young Llebke. Neck Broken By Lightning. Jackson, Misa, Aug. t. George Will-lams, brother of Assistant State Treasurer "Williams, was killed by lightning near Stone Creek yesterday.

February 18, THE WALKED KENTUCKY. John George Crooks Falls Faint-log- In New York. HID BEEN AT CETCSEILLNE. Hungry Wlta Drafts For Ei.tty-Eight Dollars In Bis Pockets. TCUXS EXSUSHUAI'S STBAXSE STORY With draft for 8S In his pocket, John Georgo Crooks, the son of a retired English army officer.

Sunday afternoon fell fainting In Broadway, New fork city, from hunger. The man. whose appearance was that 'of a tramp, though his language was that of a man of refinement, told a New York Herald reporter ho had walked all the way from Kentucky, where ho had worn the habit of a friar In a monastery. Crooks, who la twenty-seven years old. was picked up by a Policeman and Saturday night slept In a Park Bow lodging-house, The story told the Herald by the unfortunate man.

which he substantiated by showing letters, la one of romance and hardship such as Is seldom told even In fiction. According to Crooks' tale, his father Is Maj. John J. Crooks, who aa a British army officer was honorably mentioned In Parliament for valorous services tn Booth Africa In 1873 and 1874. When the Major was retired, about ten years ago.

Crooks says he left his horn In London and settled In county Weetmeath. Ireland, and also purchased a city home at 35 Grovernor road. Dublin. The following account of the Strang adventures and misfortunes of the young man Is as told by himself: Maj. Crooks Intended his son for the priesthood, and sent him to Maynooth College, in county Kildare, Ireland, and later to Mount Mellary College, in Dublin.

After leaving the Dublin college, the son. having heard of ths Friars of the Abbey of Gethsemane. in Nelson county. Kentucky; decided to become a brother there. With his father he sailed for America and Journeyed to Elora, near Ontario, Canada, where, in June.

1894. be was placed in the care of the Rev. Philip Cosgrove. a Catholic priest. To prepare him for the tasks performed In the monastery by the friars, the priest started the young man at work in the fields.

Cnused to such work. Crooks tired of It and ran away, going to Dubuque. Iowa. From thero he walked to Rock-ford. Ill, where he was arrested as a vagrant and sentenced to three months tn JalL Father Cosgrove.

alarmed about hia ward's safety, traced the young man to Rockford and forwarded a check for $50 to him. Through the Influence of the Judge, who had taken an ufterest In him. the young man had the check cashed, and. with sentence suspended, returned to Elora. where he remained with Father Coearrove until last January.

Then he entered the abbey, where, after a time Brother iU Benedict, the prior. aUowed him to wear the habit of the order. But three months later, on the ground that he was not competent to do the manual labor required of the friars, he wss dismissed from the abbey by ths prior. Having no money, the young man. who had been a gentleman at his father's nome.

became a tramp. Starting from Kentucky penniless, he walked along the railroad tracks all the way to Pittsburgh, begging food and frequently sleeping In some outdoor shelter without having eaten fop a day. He reached Philadelphia, on July 29, and there was again arrested as a vagrant and sent to ths House of Correction at Holmesburg. Crooks at ones wrote to Father Gosgrove. telling him of hia plight, and saying be wtshd to go home.

While at the abbey he bad written to his father, telling him that had seen enough of America While serving his sentence at Hotmes-burg. las Thursday, Crooks received two letters, one from the priest, inclosing a draft for 83. payable at the Merchant's Bank of Canada. 62 William street. New York, and the other from his father, containing a postal money order for fa.

payable at the New York post-oflles. I saw these The letter from Maj. Crooks bore the postmark of Dublin, and was written on the stationary of the Catholic Commercial Crab, of that city. It was addressed to "General Delivery. New York." and bad been forwarded to Holmesburg, young Crooks having sent a postal card to the New Tork post-office giving bis addresa In his letter Maj.

Crooks advised his son to remain In America, as he could work here without lowering his position, a thing be could not do at home. When the authorities saw the two drafts, they decided that Crooks was no longer a vagrant and released him. With the drafts in his pocket, but not a cent of money. Crooks started for New Tork on Thursday, beating his way on freight trains. Having had nothing to eat since left Holmesburg, the young man reached Jersey City on Friday night.

A fellow tramp paid his way on the ferry, and Crooks spent the night in a truck. With his letter from home, from Father Cosgrove and one from the prior or the Abbey. Crooks went to the post-office snd tried to cash bis money orders. He met with a refusal, and received (Chicago Times-Herald.) Ferdinand. Charles Duke of Parma, March 27, 1854.

A DECREASED MAJORITY Will Be Shown By SllTcrites In the Holman District. Seymour. Aug.

(Special.) On the eve of the special election to choose a successor In Congress to ths lata Will-lam 8teele Holman the situation Is very Interesting; and the result, with Indications favoring the silverite nominee. Is in doubt. Of the ten counties In the district, four Jackson, Brown, Dearborn and Switzerland have always been Democratic, and the silver men there should give Griffith a majority of about Z.00O votes. Four others Decatur, Jennings, Jefferson and Ripley are as surely Republican, and Usually these might be counted on to give Lee a majority of L200. In Bartholomew and Ohio counties ths chances are ordinarily about even.

In all the counties the Populists nave been making "a good fight," and their claim Is that they will poll 1.200 votes for Brow-der. As most of these come out of ths silverite ranks, and nearly all were thrown to Judge Holman, this complicates ths situation. If Browders vote aggregates 800 Griffith wUl be defeated. The gold Democrats have made no nomination. Notwithstanding the fact that a strong effort is being made to create the impression that the result will be a vote of confidence in the administration, or an evidence of dlssatisf action with existing conditions, there is the usual apathy that attends all special election-.

Thla, taken with the fact that the election comes at the end of harvest time. Jtrlth much of the wheat not yet threshed, indicates a light vote snd Increases the uncertainty. Both sllverites and Republicans are confident, while the Populists continue to put up a good fight. Nu complete poll has been made by either party, and all estimates are largely conjecture.

Inventor Dixon Explains Sextuple His The Results That He Expects From Vi9 Invention. (Boston Letter to the New Tork Sun.) Thomas Burton Dixon, the Inventor of the sextuplex system of telegraphing tested here during the past week. Is from Henderson, Ky.

His right sleeve hangs empty at his side as a result of trifling with a gun tn boyhood. He Is thirty-two years old, though he looks much younger. The last nine years he has spent in work upon electrical inventions, his first efforts being devoted to a system of automatic railway signals, on which he holds fifteen patents. Then he became Interested In multiplex telegraphy, and for four or five years has devoted all his attention to It. He Is not even a practical telegraph but hia deft, exact touch In the difficult adjustment of the delicate instruments betokens tbe enthusiast.

Being asked by the Sun's correspondent to explain his Invention In language stripped so far aa possible of technical terms. Mr. Dixon said: "The development of the duplex and quadroplex systems of telegraphy naturally led to an attempt to produce a sextuplex system ss the next step In the direction of Increasing the capacity of telegraph lines in carrying messages. The difficulties which have existed in the working of the auadruplex since it became a practical apparatus have been due mainly to ths fact that its theory calls for a division of the current at each end of the line Into two parts. This results In a reduction of the working margins of the receiving instruments so that what Is known as tbe polar or first side has a working current of only about one-third of the total current employed.

The neutral or second side has a similar reduction In margin, and. In addition, has a difficulty Introduced which tends to mutilate the signals and in telegraph parlance Is termed the 'kick. "This -kick' on long lines becomes so rest, owing to its prolongation by the electrostatic capacity of the Una and tbe low working margin of the instrument affected by It, that the limitations In length of line over which it is feasible to work auadruplex have been reached soon ss compared with the single wire and duplex systems. All attempts to further divide the current so ss to pro. duce a sextuplex and send three messages each way over one wire have been, according to the general verdict of experts, unsuccessful.

The methods suggested invariably gave the sextuplex a much lower margin and greatly Increased tendency to Interference between the different sides, due to the "kick' of several Instruments aa against that of one In the quadruples. As- the difficulties of the quadruples have become generally recognised by practical telegraphers ss entirely adequate to tax to the utmost tbe skill of tbe best men. It Is not strange that they have learned to regard any attempt to go beyond the quad' as visionary or impracticable. Their conclusion regarding attempts to build, as It were, upon tbe present quad. niL'leg is perfectly correct.

fct-t occurred to me after arriving at an understanding of the conditions involved that the only hope for a sextuplex was to first get a. quadrupiex which woul i be operative under the conditions of practical service, yet on a given potential would have the same margins as the Ingle wire and polar duplex system. This result I attained by devising a quadrupiex system which would operate upon a single potential without division of the current at each end of the line. By this means I have been able to operate a quadrupiex. other things being equal, on less than two-thirds of the current required by the old quadrupiex system, and to get on the polar tide a margin equivalent to the entire current strength, while on the neutral side I get the same margin as would result from the same current on an ordinary single wire, and at the same time to reduce the 'kick' or tendency to interference 60 per cenL "As a matter of fact, one-third of the current in the quadrupiex systems in use is entirely waated.

In my quadrupiex there is no wsste of current. Hence I am enabled to utilise the current, which In the old quadrupiex systems Is wasted, to send an additional message each way. My quadrupiex system has been fully demonstrated to be operative upon lines more than a thousand miles In length, line 1.300 miles long bsvlng been worked quadrupiex without Interference. This line was a loop over separate pole lines from Boston to Buffalo, back to Boston, from Boston to New Haven' and back to Boston sgain. a total distance of more than LSOO milea "By taking the potential required to operate my quadrupiex over this extreme length of wire and, dividing it.

so as to get two strengths of current in the line, I have been able to operate a sextuplex satisfactorily over lines between three snd four hundred miles In length, snd to demonstrate that, with properly constructed and proportioned instruments. I can operate a line sextuplex on the same potential over about one-third the distance covered by my quadrupiex. "I am entirely satisfied from my experiments that my sextuplex will prove to be operative over substantially all lines now operated as quadruplexes, and that my quadrupiex will prove to be operative over all lines now restricted to duplex working. A great advantage must result from working many long lines quadrupiex without the necessity of repeaters In the circuit. Repeaters involve complication, delay, and great expense.

With my system lines between New Tork and Chicago can be operated quadrupiex direct, and by Interposing repeaters may be operated sextuplex. The conclusion resulting from facts thus far demonstrated is that the substitution by my quadrupiex and sextuplex systems for the duplex and quadrupiex circuits now operated will double the carrying capacity of the wires involved.
