A subpoena was issued by a United States comnrssioner late today for the president-elect's appearance and to make this possible he postponed examination of the alleged blackmailers from Monday to Tuesday, by which time, it is expected, the Wilson family will have reached New York from n ..Ja jQeiiiiuucu _ The letters which Warren Dunn, Jacob Dunn and Seeley Davenport, who wrere arrested Tuesday night, are * alleged to have addressed to Governor Wilson at Trenton, were opened by Joseph P. Tumulty, the governor's secretary. Mr. Tumulty also was. subpoenaed today. In case his testimony as to receipt of the letters is accepted as sufficient proof, Governor Wilson may not be required to testify. . The issuance of the subpoenas was described by Commissioner siockiuu as a mere formality, but the commissioner hoped the president-elect would appear. .| The threats in the letters were in demand of $5,000 or life and one of them reminded Governor Wilson of the fate of McKinley and the attempt to kill Col. Roosevelt. The specific charge on which the three men are held at pres- ! ent is misuse of the mails. Jacob Dunn is the alleged author of the let- j ters. All the men have been known in the Morris county region for a number of years. Neighbors say they were of "an apparently harmless sort." i Federal authorities intimated today that they had doubts of being able to - " ,J* - - mi? j ^ u o HOld me ITIO.

AIKEN PIASTER KILLED. j Bradford Courtney is Killed by Sei gro?Posses Seonr the Cwzitrr. I Aiken, Dec. 12.?Bloodhounds fro.n. ! the State penitentiary are tonight trailing Harris Miles, a negro, -vvho, if caught before morning, will be lynched. The negro this afternoon shot and killed Bradford Courtney, one of the foremost citizens of ATken county and one of the county's, most successful planters. Posses of determined men are scouring the country in search of the negro who was seen j in the outskirts of Aiken shortly be- j forp, 7 o'clock tonight. He was shot | at but escaped. The Miles negro worked on Mr. Courtney's place, four and a half miles from Aiken, near Prothros mill where the killing took place this afternoon about 4:30 o'clock. Miles followed Mr. Courtney to his lot after having oen reprimanded by \ his employer for some misconduct and demanded a settlement. Mr. Courtney refused to settle with the negro, telling him that as he (the negro) was angry to go home and 'me back later. The negro stubbornly refused to leave as ordered, and Mr. Courtney took up a stick and struck him. The negro pulled a pistol and fired, the bullet entering Mr. Courtney's throat directly beneath the chin. He wheeled and walked toward the house' but fell dead before he had taken 20 1 steps. But for the fact that the pistol was loaded with only one ball, Mr. Courtney's son, O'Neal, would likely have been killed by the negro also. After shooting Mr. Courtney the negro turned the weapon on his son. E. O.

Throwing the pistol away, Mr. Courtney caught hold pf the negro with one hand and tried to secure his knife with the other. The negro j broke away, ran and made his escape.
