Stewart bases his appeal on an alleged promise of immunity and a suspended sentence, but attorneys for Ferguson will not say what he claims under the appeal. Former Governor William A. Stone and R.

B. Scandrett located Judge J. J. Henderson of the superior shortly after 1 o'clock and secured a writ of supersedeas from him in the appeal of Stewart! Attorney John -Marron, -un- able to find a superior court judge, asked Judge Marshall Brown of the local court tolerant the supersedeas. The latter granted the request about 4 o'clock and both men were released from tha custody of the court officers.

Pleas for Suspensions, When the case of A. A. Vilsack was called Attorney W. J. Brennen asked for.

a suspension of sentence. Judge Frazer "The defendant has pleaded guilty to bribery and has become a witness for the Commonwealth. It Is the custom in ail courts of justice to show some consideration to persons who do this. Furthermore, he was a frank and truthful witness and did not hold back what he Leniency should be effective for this reason. The defendant did not profit by his misdeeds, but' was an instance of overzeal for the interest of the bank.

Extreme leniency should' prevail in this case, but on the other hand, the interest of the general public must be considered." Sentence was then pronounced. Before the district attorney moved for sentence in the "Stewart case Attorney Stone read account of the graft cases, in which the district attorney had appeared before Judge Josiah Cohen and asked to have one of the jurists appointed as a committing magistrate. He quoted Mr. Blakeley's words uttered at that time, that he would ask for suspension of sentence in cases where accused men would come forward and tell the truth. "No Immunity," -Says Judge.

Taking the case of Stewart, the attorney said b-is client had confessed and entered his plea because of that promise and had incriminated himself. Should he withdraw that plea now, Attorney Stone said, he would be placed at a great disadvantage. He then asked the court to suspend sentence. Mstrlct Attorney Blakeley said no promises had been made to Stewart. He said his statement related only to the "small fry," implicated by Klein's confession and that his statement specifically mentioned this.

"Stewart came in and his story many times. I. do not believe he told the whole truth. I am satisfied he tried to shield certain persons." Judge Frazer scored Stewart. He said.

"You have been jndicted with William Brand, charged with conspiracy. I am rather sorry the Indictment does not charge bribery. It would not make any difference with the imprisonment, but it would with the fine. You have been ona of the ring" leaders In one of the most gigantic conspiracies on record. On the other hand you have aided the Commonwealth by your confession.

You have net been granted immunity. Ferguson Is Unnerved. "In cases of men who took bribes and then confessed all the facts I have promised to suspend sentence. On others who did not tell all the truth, I will later impose light sentences." Hugh Ferguson appeared before the bar of justice with Attorney John Marron. The latter made a plea that sentence be He eulogized Ferguson's reputation and his splendid record in councils prior to the grafting.

"I have known Mr. Ferguson for a low? time," said Judge Frazer, "I have still the greatest sympathy for Mm. Still he was stakeholder for this pool, ana Kepi the money in a safe deposit box rented by him. Before this offense I never heard the slightest word against his character." When sentence was pronoxtneed "Ferguson burst into tears. 3Dr.

Weber made a strong plea for leniency. It was explained that Weber had been drawn into the matter In a peculiar manner. "He was asked to hold the money," said his "because Klein could not be trusted." In pronouncing sentence. Judge Frazer said "He knew it was wrong to receive the money." Kearns and Einstein. Attorney J.

Brennen appeared for P. B. Kearns and told the court that his client was a good man. The worst feature of the Kearns case. said the court "Is that he not only received money, but he distributed money to various persons.

On the first charge of bribery the sentence of the court is that he pay a fine of $250 and costs of prosecution and serve a term of four months in the county jail; sentence on the second charge is that he pay a fine of 64 cents, costs of prosecution and serve 30 days in the county jail, the sentences to run concurrently." Morris Einstein was represented by Attorney George E. Alter. He stated that Einstein had a note for $35,000 in one of the banks and felt obliged to assist it-He said Einstein was a physical wreck. "It is not very pleasant for me to pronounce sentence on Mr. Einstein," said the court, "as I have known him for a number of years." In the case of E.

H. Jennings, a physician's certificate was presented to the court by Attorney Clarence Burleigh, attesting to the physical condition of Mrs. Jennings. District Attorney Blakeley said he was averse to having sentence postponed, but under the circumstances finally agreed, and the court told Jennings and F. A.

Griffin to appear within two weeks for sentence. Charge Klein With Perjury. In the case of C. W. Friend, Judge Frazer said he had not considered all phases and declared he wished to secure further information.

JJe postponed sentence until later. As Attorney Rody Marshall was not prepared to argue on the motion for a new trial for M. L. Swift, the court postponed sentence until next week. District Attorney Blakeley then requested the court to clean his slate by nolle pressing the cases against Jacob Soffel and W.

H. Melaney, former members of councils, indicted with William Brand and others, when the first graft expose was made in 1907. Judge Brown, however, suggested that the men be taken before a jury and declared not guilty. This will be followed out probably this week. Charles H.

Marshall, a friend of A. V. Simon, convicted on two charges of bribery, yesterday made an information before Alderman J. A. Sweeney, changing John F.

Klein with perjury. The move, it is alleged, is taken to destroy the credibility of Klein as a witness in future graft trials. It is charged that Klein, in his own trial in 1909, declared he had no money on the bank ordinance. The suit was prepared by John N. Piatt, W.

The exercises of the day include several songs and a four-part tragedy, entitled "A Bird Crusade." One of the main features of the day will be the presentation of the class bird. The junior class No. 1 has selected the red-eyed vireo, and the students of class No. 2 the yellow-throated vireo, as their class birds. DALZELL MAKES APPEAL Tells Voters He Must Remain in Washington During i Campaign.

One of the most interesting legislative contests in the county. is being waged in the Eighth district, where lieutenants of William Flinn are endeavoring to defeat Horace A. McClung. Although Mo Clung's petition for a place on the primary ballot was signed by almost every business professional man in the Seventh, Eightn and Eleventh wards, which comprises the legislative every effort is being made by the Fllnnj faction to send a new representative to Harrisburg. The Flinn element has chosen James D.

White as their candidate and are bending all their energies to win for him the Republican nomination. On the other hand, McClung's friends are alert and hustling every minute to defeat his opponent. Record Backs Promise. Said Mr. McClung last night: "There is just this difference between my campaign this year and the one I made two years ago: Then the people of the Fourth district had only my promise that I would devote my energies to their best interests; particularly and generally to give my vote and influence to the best there was in legislation.

They have the same promise from me now, and In addition my record In the Assembly. It is for them to say whether I kept faith. "In event of my rfnominatlon and election, I can be relied upon to be among those suporting any municipal legislation designed to increase the efficiency of city governments and to reduce the cost of their administration to the taxpayers, just as It Is my firm determination to earnestly suport any other measures in the Interests of grood government, whether It be city, county or State." Mr. McClung won considerable support in his district from the fact that he secured $362,000 for the charitable institutions of his bailiwick at the last session. This Is considerably In excess of what had ever been secured before.

Mr. McClung advocated the bill requiring Allegheny county to maintain schools for the education and moral training of children under the care of the juvenile court, and many other measures presented to Increase tha efficiency of the juvenile court system in this district. Worked for New School Code. He was also a strong supporter of Governor Stuart and worked hard for the school code. He worked for the passage of the bill creating a sinking fund commission for the county, creating a board of control for the selection of county depositories and fixing the rate of interest on such funds, both of which have greatly benefited the county.

Congressman John Dalzell, alarmed at the growing sentiment against him in th Thirtieth district, yesterday eent out an appeal to the voters for support. He sets forth that "a regard for the duties I owe my constituents makes necessary my constant attendance In Washington at this time and prevents me from soliciting In person a continuance of the support that my constituents heretofore have so generously given me." Mr. ralzeli has the hardest fight of his career, and all the forces at his command have been called in to prevent his defeat for another nomination. The leaders of the Republican organization are striving to drive their followers into line, but in most instances have found it impossible to do so. WEST VIEW PARK OPEN.

Splendid musical programs will be furnished to-day and to-night by the American Military band and there will be other interesting diversions.

With but one more morning to see Halley's comet in the morning sky, interest in the visitor to the planetary system has greatly Increased. Disappointment has crowned the efforts of prospective "comet gazers" during the past few mornings owing to the cloudy condition of the atmosphere, although when a majority of the people retired in the evening the sky was as clear as the proverbial bell.

Many persons went to nearby towns, such as Butler and Washington, and had a much better opportunity of seeing the wanderer. The comet rose at 3:30 o'clock this morning and remained visible to people in places where the sky was ciear, until 4 o'clock, when daybreak made it invisible. On May 21 the comet will be visible between 8:40 and 9:40 o'clock in the evening and will remain in the evening sky for a longer period each night. Arrangements are being made to view the atmospheric conditions, resulting from the peculiar relation of the members of the planetary system to each other, on Wednesday night. At that time the earth, sun and comet will be In a direct line with each other, and the earth will also pass through the tall of the comet.

The falling of meteors and other phenomena are expected to -result.

One arm was torp and her neck was broken. WILL RECEIVE NO FAVORS.

Must Follow Prison Regime. May Receive Baskets of Dainties. SHUDDER AT THE PORTALS. Four men spent the first night of their terms in the Allegheny county jail last night, having been taken over to the grim building imrnediately after sentence Was passed upon them. Upon reaching the office' they -were colnpelled to turn" over all belongings to the attaches and undergo the search' to which all prisoners are subjected.

After this proceeding was disposed- oft thy were ushered into the prison proper, where they were assigned to cells. Of all the six prisoners taken to the jail, Dr. W. H. Weber and Morris Ein- stein seemed to take their fate the hardest.

Tbey were completely crushed by the judge's sentence. Dr. Weber's only request was refused. Just as he was leaving the court, the deputy sheriff, who since boyhood days has been a companion and close friend of Dr. Weber, tried to comfort him and asked him if there was anything that he could do for him.

"Can't you take me home for a few minutes, so I can bid my family good, bye?" he despairingly asked. The doctor's request "was conveyed to the judges, but his appeal was refused and the journey to the jail was resumed, and completed in silence. A noticeable fact, commented on by those in the court room, yesterday morning, was the absence of any women. All the men who went to jail yesterday will have Jto adhere to the same prison rules as other prisoners and as a result, will have to undergo many privations to which they have not been accustomed. Instead of a comfortable bed they are compelled to sleep on the regular cell cot.

to indictment in Pennsylvania without ever having been physically present in that State. There are various cases In which a person may doj something in one State which will result in a crime committed In another State, as when a shot, is fired in one State which kills a man In another, or property Is obtained from one State by false pretenses uttered another, or a libel Is written in one State and published in another. "In such cases usually the criminal may be indicted and tried either in the State in which he did the act which caused the crime or in which it was ultimately completed. But a man may be indicted in a case in which he cannot be extradited. Under the constitutional provision, and the statute passed in conformity with it.

providing for the extradition of fugitives from justice from one State to another, it is necessary that the defendant should have been physically present in the State in which it is alleged that. the crime was committed, at the time when it was committed, in order to make him, on hl3 subsequent departure from the State, a fugitive from justice. Proceedings Before Governor. "The question in this case, therefore, Is whether there was any proof before the governor that Hoffstot was In the State of Pennsylvania when the crime, or any material part of the crime with' which he is charged was committed. On that question the evidence is very and unsatisfactory, and I have felt grer difficulty in reaching a conclusion.

"The grand jury handed down a presentment upon which the indictment was authorized by the court, stating the facts concerning the alleged bribery which had been ascertained by its investigation. In this presentment it is nowhere asseited that Hoffstot did any act in Pennsylvania In connection with said conspiracy, and various acts of Hoffstot are bo stated in it as to show or tend to show that they were done in New York. "Evidence, however, was taken before the governor of New York upon the question whether Hoffstot did anything in furtherance of the conspiracy in Pennsylvania. Seymour, the assistant district attorney of Allegheny was examined, and he testified that there was evidence before the grand jury on which this indictment of conspiracy was found as to transactions tending to prove the conspiracy which extended over a period from about May 1 to July 1, 1908. The governor declined to go into the details of these transactions." The Fugitive Question.

"'Now. if it shall be proved that a conspiracy was entered into by Mr. HofT-stot and circumstantial evidence shall be offered sufficient to authorize a Jury to draw the inference that he wag present in Pennsylvania when any act material in carrying out the objects of the conspiracy was done, I think that he would be properly held to have been within the State of Pennsylvania at the time the crime charged in the indictment was committed, and that his subsequent return from that State to New York would render him a fugitive from justice, within the meaning of the United States constitution and statute mpon that subject. "It is well settled that the purpose with which a man who has committed a crime In a State leave it. Is immaterial.

It 'is not necessary to prove that he fled from fear of arrest. If be has committed a crime in a state and afterward leaves it, the right of extradition exists. "In this case, if the only evidence of Hoffstot's presence in Pennsylvania during the time In which it is alleged that he engaged in the conspiracy had been that he passed through the State as an incident of a journey, as for instance, that he went from Chicago to New York over the Pennsylvania railroad, I should have no doubt that the proof of his commission of the crime, or any material part of It, In the State of Pennsylvania, was insufficient. Dismisses the Writ. "But the facts In this case are much stronger.

It is alleged in the second count cf the Indictment that Hoffstot, with the other conspirators, received from each of three banks, one ot which was the German National Bank of Allegheny, of which he was president, $17,500. making $52,500 in the aggregate, and it 13 alleged in the presentment tnat Hoffstot paid to Stewart $52,500, pursuant to the agreement to make such payment for the purpose of securing the selection of the said three banks as city depositories of the city of Pittsburgh. "It may well have happened that off -at some of his visits to the city of Pittsburgh, engaged In the conspiracy to pay this money, or did some act in connection wfth Its collection and payment. "My conclusion is that the writ should be dismissed; but as, in my opinion, the question Involved in this case is doubtful, a stay will be granted if the petitioner desires to appeal." Hoffstot Is out on $10,000 ball. He was seen at his office at 24 Broad street this afternoon, and declined to make a statement of any kind.

He referred all interviewers to counsel, who could not be induced to say anything. OFFER TWO SITES FOR BOYS' JUVENILE HOME. Board of ManagersHave Trouble Getting Location With Good Water Supply. The board of managers for the proposed Juvenile Home for Boys met yesterday to consider sites. No selection was made, although a number of propositions were considered and adjournment wa8 taken until the committee on sites has opportunity to look over additional locations.

Two sites are receiving a large share of attention and It is not unlikely one of them will be selected. One consists of 800 acres in Pine township, near Valencia, and the other comprises a tract of similar nize at Thorn postoffice, Marshall township, both in Allegheny county. The average price per acre is $125, making the approximate total price $100,000. Both of the sites are well adapted, topographically, for the purpose. The chief difficulty, with which the board meeting, is to find a site with an adequate supply of pure water.

Teachers Being Examined. Eighty-one teachers of the Pittsburgh schools, who have taught for three years, yesterday took their examinations for permanent certificates at the Fifth Avenue High school building. Sessions were held in the morning and afternoon. The 23 teachers who last week took the first part of their examination for first-year certificates were examined in additional branches by Superintendent Samuel Andrews at the Fifth Avenue High school In the morning. At the Allegheny High school teachers were also examined in grammar, composition, geography and drawing.
