Rose Tresselt, wife of Fred Tresselt, of 215 East Jefferson street. The affidavit followed the killing of Irene Cox, eight years old, and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Cox, of 417 Martin street, who was run down Saturday night on Lafayette strtet, near DeWald, by an automobile driven by Mrs. Tresselt as the machine was preceding north.

The warrant issued on the affidavit was placed in the hands of Detective Sergeant W. Pappert with arrest, the woman and take her to police headquarters. Arrangements hsid been made for Judge J. Frank Mungovan, of the city court to be present and a. bond of 510,000 was asked for her appearance.

This she easily able to. give as both she and her, husband have ample means, Father Collapsed. After, the child was killed Saturday night the police chief and Prosecutor Albert E. Thomas had a consultation the 'father, who asreed to institute- -criminal proceedings. Yesterday afternoon he' went to the office of the prbseeutor to file the affidavit but collapsed and a physician had' to be tailed.

prosecutor then- decided to wait iintii after the inquest cf the coroner before, taking'any steps but today Mrs. Tresselt engaged AttoVneys Breen and Morris and was advised not to testify before the coroner. When this was 'brought to the attention of the police chief decided to file the affidavit. In the machine at the time of the accident were Mrs. J.

Fred Brehm, 213 East Jeffe'rson street, and her daughter. The child's neck was broken, her skull fractured, her face crushed and her entire body and her were badly bruised. In statement to of Police Elliott and Captain Robert Dickson, who an investigation Saturday nigtitj Mrs. Tresselt stated that she was, running her machine at about ttvelve miles an hour and that after nh'e the little girl she Increased her stoeed and ran over the body as it lay ten or twelve feet in front of the bg. automobile where it had fallen.

Child as She Approached, Mrs. also admitted that she eaw. the' child as she came out of a butcher shop at the corner of Lafayette and DeWald streets and start Diagonally across Lafayette street, -She was badly frightened, by the accident and made no "effort to stop and 'investigate the extent of the injuries she Had inflicted, but increased speed of h'or automobile and went to 'her home. In explanation of this she stated she had intended to return afterward and see how badly the little one was Hurt, Indignation reached a high pitch in neighborhood after the accident and this- was intensified by the report that Mrs. Tresselt had a day or two fcef ore -run- clown fi boy on Barr street and, at the time, made no motion to investigate nncl would not have stopped" but for.

the fact that a wagon belonging to the Barnett transfer line across her path and she was forced to stop. Acknowledged the i i When the police went to the Tresselt home the husband readily admitted that his wife had driven the machine that struck the child. Mrs. Tresselt, who was formerly Miss Rose Seiclel, was in the house at the time and almost collapsed when she heard that the little had been crushed out. 'She said nt the same time that the girl ran in front of her machine and that.th? killing was purely accidental she- could not have stopped in time to -the collision.

She was nearly overcome and has visited the Cox home several times and has offered the, family every assistance that can in any way ameliorate the horrible death; of the child. The father of the child is an employe of the Kerr Murray Manufacturing company, where he has held a position for several years and was preparing to move to California. The mother was down town shopping at the time of the accident and collapsed when she was told of It. The little victim had asked to go with her mother, but had been told to stay at home. The parents and two daughters, aged five and three years, survive.

Reports Are Exaggerated. Reports of the speed of the machine at, the time of the accident have been exaggerated as the police found witnesses who were willing to swear that the automobile was traveling forty an hour at the time. curea. to The Auburn, the defense in the Herman Miller case will make a fierce attack upon the testimony of Fred LaDuke was emphasized today in questioning of the tales- men. These questions indicate that Judge R.

K. Brwln, Miller's chief counsel, will endeavor to show that the man who is most reiled upon by the stats' is delinquent and degenerate and not entitled to belief. LaDuke is confined in the jail at Fort Wayne and will be brought here to testify as soon as a jury is obtained. Difficulty that was not anticipated has brought about a delay in filling the panel and as a result Judge D. R.

Best was compelled at noon today to issue a call for a special of twenty men, making sixty that will, have been summoned In addition to the regular jury. Many of the men who have been examined for jury duty during the two days that the attorneys have been engaged in their efforts to seleat. twelve men to hear the case have stated that they are opposed to capital punishment and for this the state has asked the court to excuse them and all who have made this answer have been let go. Another question that seems to bother the talesmen is that of complicity. Many have said that they would not convict a man of first degree murder if they knew that he did not actually fire the shot that killed.

There is no charge that Miller fired the shot that killed Columbus Croy at Woodburn as this is placed at the door of John Stout and therefore many of the men have answered they would not feel that tie is equally guilty with Stout. At 11 o'clock today the Jury was turned over by the state to the defense, but there was little promise that a panel would be secured before tomor row afternoon. MONDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. to The Auburn, Aug. late this promised that a jury in the second trial of Herman Miller for the murder of Columbus Croy at Woodburn in Allen county in June, 1907, would be ready to take up the.

hearing of the statement of Prosecutor Thomas and begin on- the evidence some time tomorrow Judge R. K- Erwin examined th regular panel and the special venire- men put on to fill out and excusec three of the This afternoo 1 he turned thV twelve men then in th box over to the state and announced that he was satisfied. The state be gan its examination and the attorneys believe that twelve men will have been selected by tonight. Judge TErwln sprung a hew point in the case when he filed a motion today to have the state elect which the three counts in the indictment i would try Miller on. This was over ruled.

There has been little curiosity shown here and at no time has th' court room been crowded. Link Atkinson were engaged the defense today in addition to Judg Erwin and William Geake, of For Wayne. Attorney Fred Bower is als aiding in the defense. Prosecutor Hu Hartman is assisting the state.

Mr.

Loudenslager was prevented from coming by an illness. Deplored State Break. During the conference with Mr. Sherman I told him that I deplored the result of the meeting of the New York state committee, because, un. less repaired it meant between New York republicans, and probable defeat.

Upon leaving me, Mr. Sherman agreed to go into a. conference with Mr. Roosevelt, provided he were vited to dp so with view to adr justing the situation 'if possible, eyen at late date. Mr.

Nicholas was present and said he him 'with a warning to hike. Ben LOgan, John Warner and John Neece, plain drunks, were let go.

Mr. Taylor was arrested, but neither was required to go to nor to give ball, the constable releasing them on their own recognizance, Mr. Sibley denied himself to interlvewers today. In the statement issued last, night, when he announced his sudden withdrawal from the congressional race, he said ill- heaHh solely -was responsible, Once a Democrat, Mr. Sibley is a manufacturer and farmer and reputed to be a millionaire.

He was elected as a democrat to the 53rd and B6th congresses and as a republican to the 57th and 58th congress and re-elected to the 59th congress by a large majority, In the democratic national convention of 1996 Mr. Sibley received the lagest number of votes for the nomination of vice president, but wired the convention to withdraw his name.

In a statement issued last night Sibley says; 1 "Owing- to a continuance of a serious condition ot my heart I am convinced the days of my physical activities are almost At best, a long rest is necessary to alleviate my condition.

Roosevelt in accordance with your wish. A member of the state committee declared to me before the meeting that Mr. Sherman's candidacy had been arranged with you telephone the previous day. Efforts have been made to create an impression that you favor a particular candidate, for'elec- tion as state chairman. I want you to know that the injection of the name of a high member of your administration into a factional conflict has produced a most complicated situation, and the absence of any authoritative Information as to, your intention is seriously misleading to many republicans and impairing a movement for progressive party leadership nnd clean government in this state.

I know you desire us to fia.ve a fair field, and hope 'that this may be made clear to the public. Did Not Oppose Teddy. Th.e suggestion that I have ever expressed a wish to defeat Mr, Roosevelt for the temporary chairmanship of the convention or have ever taken the slightest -step to do so is wholly untrue. I never heard Mr. Sherman's name suggested as temporary chairman of the state convention until I saw in the newspapers of Aug.

16 that he had been selected the meeting of the committee. When you called at my house Saturday evening, Aug. 13, you told me that Mr. Roosevelt intended to go to the convention as a delegate, and you suggested Incidentally his being made temporary chairman--a suggestion In which I acquiesced. It did not occur to me that any one would oppose it, This was the first time the subject of the temporary chairmanship was mentioned to me by any one.

You did not ask me to take any action whatever with respect to it. Quotes Sherman Message, i After a full discussion of ISIew York state, situation, I drafted, in the action of the state committee will be reversed and that Mr. Roosevelt, if his engagements will him to accept, will act aa temporary chairman of the convention, making the keynote speech.

James 8. Shenna'n, Vice President, lIMca, N. Please say to Ward and Woodruff that I have had a long conference with Griscom. He confirms my judgment already expressed to you that the whole in New.

Finally, in your telegram received this morning you state that efforts have been made to create the' impression that I favor a particular candidate for election as state chairman. This Is absolutely untrue. I have expressed no opinion on the subject since an effort was made last winter by the New York congressional delegation to secure Mr. Woodruff's retirement, which failed. Sees I am very sorry, indeed, to observe columns of unfounded in the newspapers concerning my attitude in respeot'to'the New York slt- nation! You know, however, as well as other New York leaders, that whenever my advice or assistance In reaching a satisfactory ment of the difficulties has been sought I have urged the necessity for the fullest conference with Mr.

Roosevelt by the of the organization, and, with due reference to honest difference of opinion, have expressed the view. which I still entertain, that thft solution of the direct primary issue can be found in. provisions similar to those of the Cobb bill as amended In accord with the 'memorial signed by Mr. Seth kow, Mr. Joseph Choate.

Colonel Roosevelt, after reading carefully the full text of President Taft's letter, issued the following formal statement: 'T am very glad to see President Taft's statement and am pleased with- i "Before the meeting of the state committee I. had repeatedly expressed to various leaders not merely my willingness but my desire to see them.

"Since the meeting I have not thought there was any particular object in meeting them, as, owing to their action, the situation had become. such as to admit of no compromise, and I had nothing to add to what I had already said. I may add that I have not changed my mind now. Stands by Attitude. "My position is perfectly definite and I have nothing'to change in it.

I had never desired the chairmanship, and consented to have my name considered ori condition only that, in platform, arid candidate alike, the party should endeavor to achieve success ini the only way worth trying. "That is, by deserving by making it evident that the republican party of the state of New Yojk intends in good faith to save the interests, of all the people of the state. 1 "I cannot speak -definitely at the moment of my whole plans, because I do not know how far the situation will be changed by the president's letter, and so I can say nothing more definite tonight." i Griscom in Statement. In commenting on President Taft's letter and the. situation which it'dis- closes, Griscom gave out the following statement; "The methods used to accomplish the defeat of Mr.

Roosevelt when his name was before the state committee are now clear to the public and may be judged by the public. "Those personally acquainted with Mr. Taft's'views-were, of course, -never ir. doubt that his advice had been ignored and that his attitude was misrepresented in order that those who misrepresented him might appear as the defenders of. his administration.

"I have not the slightest doubt that tweeh the president and the ex-president on New York state matters ate baseless. "The way is now clear, for the republican party i i state steps which will warrant and secure success at the polls In November.
