As a result a blanket indictment charging conspiracy to loot an estate of $71,500 was found against four men, one being Rothschild. The other three were Secretary Mathews, of the Republican County and the representative of the redoubtable Abe Gruber in the Twenty-first Assembly District; John W. Wooten, son-.

in-law of Walther Luttgen, August Belmont's partner, and Samuel I. Ferguson. There was an additional indictment of grand larceny found against Wooten. This ramification of the Rothschild scandal into political circles was perhaps the most sensational turn of the whole story. Wooten's trial was the first to come up, and after a bitter legal battle, in which AtHerman J.

Witte, former Chief of Detectives in Cincinnati, was one of the leading counsellors, Wooten, himself a lawyer of recognized ability, was convicted and sentenced to nine years and five months in Sing Sing. The chief witness against him was his convicted client, David Rothschild. Two months later, in August, 1905, it announced that Wooten had made a A confession, "telling on" Armitage Mathews exactly as Rothschild had turned state's evidence against Wooten. It looked very much as if an endless chain of confessions had been started which might lead The expectation was defeated, however, In October, two hours before the time set for the trial of Armitage. Mathews, the accused man committed suicide by leaping down an air shaft.

The chain was broken, and whether the accusations. would have ever reached beyond and- above the Secretary the Republican County Committee was never revealed. Ferguson was later let go, and thus ended the story of the financial career of David Rothschild. It was admitted to-day at. the office District Attorney Jerome that for last three or four months Rothschild been In the habit of visiting the office various intervals and had rendered valuable assistance to the force.

It was said had been helping Assistant District Attorneys Kresel and -Howe In an, investigation of great importance. It was said that Rothschild's last visit was made a week ago. Mrs. Rothschild has also been a frequent visitor there, both in the company of her husband and alone. Whatever Rothschild's business may have been with the District Attorney, it was admitted that in his death the District Attorney's office lost a valuable.

It was also recalled at the same time that a relative of the same name, who also' hailed from Cincinnati, was at one time charged with one of the most famous murders America has ever known. That was the desperate murder of a woman, of the lower half world, known as "Diamond Bessit." She was so styled on account of the great profusion of sparkling gems she was in the habit of displaying. She was murdered -in Texas, where it was charged she had been induced to g0 in order that she might be got away with. Her body was found in a swamp. Immense sums of money were spent in defending that Rothschild, and his return' to Cincinnati after his acquittal was one of the ovation kind.

Instead of a water system being installed In one of the houses the police ran onto A arrangement of pipes, apparently for the accommodation of water, but really a conveyance for beer to thirsty customers.

Detectives had watched the place day and night, and when they believed that the evidence was good enough they swooped down on the tappers and corralled the whole gang in the house. Three of the men had glasses in their hands and were drinking the liquor, and the rest were standing around with empty mugs. This was plain enough to the police, but the presence of the beer was a mystery. The house was searched from top to bottom and not a keg or bottle of any kind could be found. One of the policemen happened to lean against a water pipe which empties into near-by sink.

He rubbed up against faucet, and with a splutter and fizz some of the beer came dripping out of the opening. The police followed the course of the pipe and found connections to be in the roof instead of a cellar. In the attic was a big keg of beer. a a a a NEWS OF THE COURTS. Rosso Savato, also known as Levoto, an educated Italian, lived, for a number of years in a little hut in Lickrun.

He was known to have well-to-do relatives, but none ev. visited him, as he lived the life of a hermit, with half a dozen dogs as his only companions. On May 28 last smoke and flames were seen issuing from the hut, and an alarm of fire attracted a crowd. A man named Pierce rushed into the place to offer assistance and received a load of shot in his groin from a shotgun in the hands of Savato. The Italian seemed to have gone temporarily crazy, and he resisted all efforts on the part of neighbors to put out the fire and save him from the burning building.

Mounted Patrolman Charles G. Peterson rode up to the place, dismounted, and upon learning that the Italian was still inside, dashed in to save him. He was met with a load of heavy shot, which struck him in the chest, causing his death. The fire was finally put out and Savato was captured, after a fierce battle with him and his dogs. He talked incoherently for a time, but finally became rational.

He was indicted for murder in the first degree, and Dr. Ravogli was sent to examine him for the state. Dr. Ravogli reported that the man had been afflicted with epilepsy and was subject to spells of paranoia. This showed the state that the man never could be convicted of first degree murder, and yesterday it was decided to accept a plea of manslaughter and sentence Savato to the limit-20 years.

Savato was brought before Judge Pfleger and immediately pleaded guilty. Ho was represented by Italian Consul Charles Ginnochio, who made a statement for him, and Judge Pfleger then pronounced the sentence.

Since the appointment by Juvenile Judge Caldwell of Gus Esares as.a probation officer and his work in causing trouble for the Greek owners of shining parlors, because of the youth of the little Greek boys employed in these, a storm of protest has arisen against Esares. Yesterday Attorney J. B. Derbes, representing a number of naturalized Greeks, sent a petition to Judge Caldwell protesting against Esares serving as a probation officer, on the ground that he is not a citizen of the United States, but is still a subject of King George of Greece. Those signing the petition were Peter Mehas, Peter Mitrin, George Servos, Nick and James.

Sarros, Gus Kurlas, George, Louis and Peter Christof and Mike Katsetos. All of these have renounced allegiance to the Greek King and American citizens, and they allege that Esares is not. Therefore, they object to him investigating their bustness and. suggest that there are Americanized Greeks who would be glad to serve the Court. Judge Caldwell will send for Esares, and if it is true that he is not a naturalized citizen the Court will be compelled to revoke his appointment, though Esares has done some splendid work since he became an officer.

us 26 up. E. Goods called for and delivered tres of charge, I With her right hand tightly bound over her head and an apron wrapped twice around her neck, the body of Mrs. Mary Harris, of North Bend, was found in the woods half a mile back of her home yesterday morning. Perry Hughes, a negro, 1s held by the North Bend police on suspicion, and the combined police force of the downthe-river villages are endeavoring to solve the mystery of Mrs.

Harris's death. Mrs. Harris was a native of Tennessee. She came of a good family. Her husband, William Harris, 'nas been missing for many She received frequent letters from years.

him up to a year ago. When she came to Cincinnati some years ago she located In North Bend. When her husband deserted her she took up her, residence on the old farm in the building known as the McClung house of the North Bend Coal and company She earned a living washCoke Company. ing and cooking for the men who were employed in the big coke ovens. Many of -the men she labored for were negroes.

Of these Perry Hughes and John her apartments in the McGaines lived at house. She was known to have some Clung the result of Her long labor. money as Mr. and Mrs. James Tuesday at noon Mack, who also live in the McClung house, left Mrs.

Harris at work in her bedroom, quilt. When they returned about sewing a o'clock Mrs. Harris was gone. They 4 searched the house and the neighboring failed to find any trace of the woods, but missing woman. Negroes Discovered Body.

had not been at work either Hughes yesterday. He went to the Tuesday or under protest. The Marshal forced scene him along, however, and when he came lay he sprang away from the Marshal, and, within 20 feet of the gully where the body shouting, "I can't look at her now," took a to his heels: The body was later identified by Gaines. Marshal Wierman at once swore in several deputies, and Hughes was captured about a quarter of a mile further in the woods by Sylvester Rudisel, who forced him at the point of a gun to accompany him to the North Bend Jail. Hughes vigorously protested his innocence.

He denied being near the a McClung house Tuesday, but several negroes stated that they saw him, under the influence of liquor, visit the place about 4.0 o'clock in the afternoon. Finger Marks on Neck. It is supposed that the crime was committed about this hour. Neighbors of the Harris woman stated last night that she was in the habit of going back in the woods about 4 o'clock to gather kindling from the underbrush. She never went as far back as the place where the body was found, however, and it is supposed that she was killed some distance from it.

The woods where the murder was conmitted are filled with thick underbrush. A path through the thick brush passes about 50 feet from the gully where the body was found. The gully ds fully half a mile from the nearest residence. The place is seldom frequented by white people, and a negro family who have a hut at the northern edgevof the woods are the only human beings who use the path. As soon as Coroner Cameron was notified he sent Deputy Coroner Coe to the scene with Coroner's Clerk William von Hoene.

The McClung house. is located at the power house of the Cincinnati and Lawrenceburg Electric Traction line. By the light of a huge bonfire that had been built in the underbrush Dr. Coe made a partial examination of the body. A -gold watch and chain and ring were found in the woman' Ming.

The only wounds that be discovered in the meager light were those on the face and the finger marks about the neck. The apron used to choke the woman was her own property. All who saw the body agreed that it would have been impossible for the woman to have committed suicide, as she could not have bound her right hand above her head. Besides? this there were no trees or branches -near the body strong enough for her to hang herself to had she desired to commit suicide. Her Money Gone.

A search of the woman's room revealed but little. No money was found. There were letters indicating that she had a daughter named Lillian Harris in the Southland. No one could be found who was able to tell anything definite concerning the woman's husband. It was said by several residents of the neighborhood that he lived in Lockland, Ohio, but further than this nothing could be learned.

No one had seen him in the vicinity of her home for several years, and it is certain that he has not been in the neighborhood in the past few days. The only motive that could be found for the crime last night was that of robbery. It is certain that Mrs. Harris had some money in her possession, but not one cent was found during a most careful search made by Coroner's Clerk Von Hoene last night. Mrs.

John Mack, a white woman, married to a negro, was closely questioned by Dr. Coe last night. Mrs. Mack stated that she had left the woman sewing a quilt. She stated that she and her husband went the store to buy some groceries, Mrs.

Harris was in a pleasant mood- and greeted them cheerfully as they left. When they returned they noticed that the quilt had been left with the needle and thread still the goods and that Mrs. Harris was gone. They told the neighbors of her disappearand the house was searched for the ance missing woman Tuesday night. Deputy Coroner Coe also closely que'stioned John Gaines, who lived about the place.

He stated that the watch found the woman was his property, that he had given it to her for safekeeping. He said that when he arrived at the McClung house from his work Tuesday night he found He did not see Hughes about the supper. place, and went to Addyston for his supper. Protested His Innocence. Gaines could not account for the murder in any way.

He said that neither he nor Hughes had ever had any quarrel with the woman. He stated that she received most of her living expenses in return for services to white residents of North Bend. Hughes was seen at the North Bend Jail and pro- AUCTION SALES.
