April (1.-When Attorney Clarence Darrow, who de fended the .McNamara brothers, now charged with the bribery of prospec tive jurors in the case, goes to trial in May, he will have to counteract the evidence of a National Erector's Association detective. This evidence, according, to Dis trict. Attorney Fredericks, was gath ered by Detective Robert J. 'Foster, employed by tho Erectors' Associa tion, a branch of tho "steel trust." and bitter enemy of the Structural Iron Workers' Union. The evidence consists of stenographic records of alleged conversations between Dar row and ono of his detectives. John Harrington, of Chicago, lt Is claim ed that a dictagraph was hidden In ^irroVs room, which connected I willi a room adjoining, In Which j were concealed two stenographers and tho detective. Dining tho first !rwo week a tho moodliga between Harrington hud Darrow occurred al most every other lay. Tho ?jun met In Harrington's room, ?>t Hie Hoy want Hole!, ?iud for .more than an hon. nt a time, it is stated, they would discuss the bribery proceed ings, the inner workings of the Mc Namara case and the Federal Inves tigation of the dynamite ring In In I diunapolis. Every bit of this conversation was recorded by tho shorthand reporters and collies aro now In the hands of District Attorney Fredericks, Special Federal Prosecutor Oscar Lawler and the Indianapolis Federal officials. While Darrow and Harrington were In discussion Chief Investigator Foster and Reporters Longley and Kaloon sat in room -118 (adjoining) and made careful note of every syl lable that passed the lips of both. According to District Attorney Fredericks, the dictagraph records of tho Darrow-IIarrington conversations will be introduced as evidence when the former is tried for bribing jurors in the McNamara case. This ls not Investigator Foster's Initial experience with a dictagraph. During the Federal grand jury inves tigation of tho inner workings of the dynamite plot several months ago In Indianapolis he planted a similar in strument in tho office of Secretary Herbert Ilockin, of the International Association of Rrldge and Structural Iron Workers, and for three months reporters chronicled tho conversa tions of the union labor ofllcials in conference with Hock In. According to F?deral attaches it was Detect Ivo Foster who made lt plain to Harrington If he did not wish to be prosecuted himself for some work during tho preparation o? the McNamara defense. Harrington had charge of amassing all tho evidence and tho Investigation of witnesses In tho celebrated case and it is stated District Attorney Freedricks had ob tained indefinite evidence against him. It is assorted that Harrington kicked at first, when Foster made known tho program to him. Later, however, it is stated, to savo himself he .greed to come to Los Angeles aad trap Darrow Into conversations which were to he recorded by the dir tagra'ph, and to be used against him later In tho bribery case. Tho plan, it is asserted, worked like a charm. Darrow called upon Harrington on numerous occasions at ? the Heyward Hotel, and it ls asserted by oillcials, pleaded with the latter to remain his frlond. When tho State obtained all tho dictagraph evidence lt needed against Darrow, Investigator Poster removed ! the instrument, and shotrly afterward j Harrington returned to bia home in ( Chicano.

Sleuth Gives Interview Declaring New York ?lim Slashed Wife. Aiken, S. C., April ll.-M. S. Baughn, a special Atlanta detective, employed on tho Beach cutting! scrape hero, has given out the fol lowing Interview: "Frederick 6. Beach cut his wife's throat. I have evidence to that ef fect that ls absolutely Incontroverti ble. "I have been employed by the city of Aiken to ferret out this mystery and I am absolutely unprejudiced In my opinion. The ovldenco which I have already gathered is satisfying, : not billy to myself, but to the city i authorities, and 1 declare without J the least fear that my word can be ' seriously disputed, that Beach him self made tho attack on his wife and invented the story of the unknown iuw > assailant in order to protect himself. "Had 1 not been so convinced no Wi rant for his arrest would havo bee.' Issued. If any one could bring any evidence to disputo that which I have: if either Beach or his wife could answer questions which 1 can ask; If any mortal can throw light that 1 have not seen lu this case, 1 would he glad to follow the line in dicated and gather the evidence. We are not trying to prosecute. We want to know the truth. "As the case stands now. I am convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that he cut. his wife's throat, and have the knife lu my possession with which he committed Hie crime. .rho blade of this weapon had been cut off before it came in my possession, but the stains on its jaws and the handle show conclu sively, under microscopic examina tion, that there aro blood cubes j there. The break In the blade is ' fresh, showing that the break came only recently. I "The knife, though, is morely an i incident in the evidence l have I gathered. lt ls Important, hut by j no means our most important, point. I have obtained affidavits from eye , witnesses to a number of tilings j which took place immediately be fore and immediately after the at tack on Mrs. Beach to convince me of the husband's guilt and the wit nesses are ready to testify.

But I do not think that it will be necessary to expose this. I think Beach's state ment has convicted him. I have never worked on a case of which I am more certain." Bench Tells Own Story. Baris, April 12.-F. O. Beach, ac cused ofattacklng his wife in Aiken, S. C., and fleeing to Franco to escape trial on charges of assault In the Carolina town, to-day made his fl rat statement about tho strange case since he readied here and went Into seclusion in the home of his inti mate friend, Wm. K. Vanderbilt, Sr. "Everything which my lawyers have said In reference to these charges ls true, and we will be able to prove it when I face trial In Aiken, as I intend to if these silly accusations aro not withdrawn," said Beach. "Tho story that I had fled from Aiken is absolutely absurd. Before I left Aiken 1 notified the mayor of the city and tho prosecuting attor ney, and it was with their permission that Mrs. Beach and I went to New York. We crossed to Baris sooner than we expected, ns we believed that the sea voyage would be of great benefit to Mrs. Beach's nerv oso system, which has suffered se verely since February 21!, the night slio was attacked. "That night sho went Into the yard to feed her dogs. 1 was In the house next door flaying a social call when 1 heard her screams. I rushed out and saw ber staggering, with blood streaming down bor face. Of course, I grasped her In my arms, and in this way I was blood-stained. I "I can prove by the neighbors thal not until Mrs. Beach's screams were heard did I leave tho bouse. Mrs. Beach declared then, when it was thought that she was about to die, that she had been attacked by a ne gro, whom slio could not identify. She did not then and she nover lins given any intimation that I am guilty of tho crime. "lt is also true that we can prove that two Swiss maids and a negress were attacked in a similar manner by a negro the same night. "As for tho knife on which this Detective Baughn lays such great stress, I gave lt to Mayor Hiles vol untarily after Baughn lind exhausted every effort to obtain it." Man in Gray ls Sought, Aiken, S.

Ho was a good, obedient pupil of mino dur ing a term of school I taught in a mountain district several years ago. Warren was loved by lils teacher and all of his schoolmates. He was an honest, upright boy, and one that loved tho truth. During all of the school term, never once did I know him to be guilty of a "mean act." Ile was one of the brightest boys 1 had in school and led Iiis classes in everything. On tho playground .he was as jolly and cheerful as could be, and always had a pleasant word and a smile for every one. He was a favorite with all his teachers. After Warrent left the mountain country school and entered a higher school In Saluda, X. C., (where he would have graduated at tho close of tho present session) I know very lit tle of his life. He became a Chris tian, and I was told ho was a favor ite wit li all of his teachers. As a mountain school boy he was nil a teacher could require of a pupil gondifelnd. obedient and respectful. NTevei*T)iue during school did I have to reprove him for a single disobedi ence, and ns a Christian boy in col lege his death, at the age of 23, will mean a great loss In tho school and in lils parents' home. Tho aged fa ther and mother have my deepest sympathy in their trying hour. May they be comforted by the thought that. "All things work together for, good to them that love God." In a short. Hmo they, too, will lay down the cross to receive tho crown, and ?will soon seo Warren again. To all of his relatives and friends I extend my sincerest sympathy. May we all be benefited hy his kind and unself ish life, both in his home and the school. His Teacher. Seneca, S. C., April (?. - - - -?, # -- "Suffered day and night tho tor ment of itching |>iles.
