Chester B. Runyan Had Not
Left New York.
New York, July 8—Chester B. Run-
yan, the defaulting teller of the Wind-
sor Trust company, was arrested In
New York Friday and $54,4tO of the
money stolen from the bank was re-
covered.
Runyan was found In the apartment
of Mrs. Laura M. Carter of 619 West
One Hundred and Forty-fourth street
where he had been since he walked out
of the bank on Saturday with all the
money in the teller's vaillt packed in
his suit rase.
Mrs. Carter reported to the police
Friday afternoon that Runyan was in
her flat. Five detectives at onre ac-
companied Mrs. Carter to the flat.
As the detectives entered Runyan
was standing before a chiffonier. He
turned on the officers with a revolver
In bis hand, but when the detectives
rushed at him. dropped the revolver
and submitted to being handcuffed,
saying: "The Jig is up."
When asked where the money ws
he said that part of it was in the
suit case and the rest in a drawer of
the chiffonier. Mrs Carter and her
negro maid, Mary Duncan, were also
arrested.
At the station Runyan said he had
been In the flat since Saturday, laugh-
ing at the efforts of the police to lo-
cate him. He said he had shaved
off his moustache and was letting his
beard prow as a disguise. Wlien que <-
tlon about the whereabouts of the bal-
ance of the money missing from the
bank—the sum lost was said to be
more than $86,000—he stated that be
had FTeen speculating, and had lo.-t
heavily, and Intimated that Mrs. Car-
ter might know something about any
money that was missing. Mrs. Carter
indignantly denied that she had any
of the money, and told Runyan that
she had betrayed him to the police be-
cause he had not given her money
as he had promised. Runyan states
that he has given Mrs. Carter $16,000,
but this she denies He said ho gave
her $5,000 Monday and $10,000 Friday
morning. Mrs. Carter said that I e
gavr. her $5,000 Mbnday but that she
withdrew it from the bank Friday
morning and returned It to him t
also developed that Runyan gave Mrs.
Carter a heavy gold bracelet and a
diamond ring Saturday evening. They
were valued at $1,000 The bracelet
Is now in the possession of the police.
Mrs. Carter was closely questioned
as to her acquaintance with Runyan.
bhe said that she first met him on
the street. Finally, she said, he
agreed to furnish a flat for her and
give her $50 a week. The flat was
secured and she moved Into It two
weeks ago. After that, she said, she
saw little of Runyan until Saturday.
Asked about the motive for the rob-
bery, Runyan said: "I needed the
money It was there, and I took It.
Some of it I lost in Wall street and
some of it I gave to this woman." He
insisted tliat he turned over all the
money he had left to the police, and
when It was pointed out that there
was a large amount still missing, he
smiled and said: "Oh, I've been spec-
ulating, you know. All the world
knows that now."
Questioned concerning a bottle of
laudanum found on him, the prisoner
admitted that he had contemplated
suicidc After a moment he added
"After all, I guess that I've said
all that I'm going to say until I have
secured my counsel."
At the police station Runyan and
Mrs. Carter quarreled bitterly, each
accusing the other of misstatements
concerning the missing money. When
Runyan said he had given her $15,000
the woman declared the assertion
false. Then, turning to the inspector,
she said:
"I'll tell you why I gave him up.
I was scared. Thursday I went out
into the street and bought a paper,
and there I saw his picture. I took
the paper back home and asked
him if the picture was one of him.
and he said it was. Then he turned
on me like a tiger and said: 'There's
the money: but if either you or that
d—d nigger, Mary, squeal to the police
I'll kill you.'"

ROCKEFELLER TESTIFIES.
8tated That Hia Position as President
Is Purely Honorary.
Chicago, July 8.—The Standard Oil
company case was called at 10:27
o'clock by the district attorney, who
briefly stated the facts in the case as
previously outlined. Attorney Miller,
for the Standard Oil company, entered
a motion for arrest of judgment in the
case. Judge Landls overruled this
Fred Wann, former general freight
agent of the Chicago and Altou, and
H. B. Felt on, president of the Union
Tank line, was the two first witnesses.
The fact was brought out. that the
major portion of the stock of the Un-
ion Tank line was owned by the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.
Following these two witnesses J. D
Rockefeller was called to the stand
Mr. Rockefeller left his seat and walk-
ed slowly to the witness chair at the
right of .fudge Landls and raised his
right hand as the clerk administered
the oath "to swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, so help you God." "I do," af-
firmed Mr. Rockefeller, distinctly, as
the clerk finished.
"Mr. Rockefeller," asked Judge
Landis,. have you any connection
with the Standard Oil company?''
"I am president of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey," said Mr
Rockefeller, deliberately. "Position is
purely an honorary one and has been
for the last eigh or ten years," li
said. " I have taken no active part in
its affairs during that time."
"What outstanding capital stock
has the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey?" asked Judge Landis
"I object," ejaculated Mr. Miller.
"Overruled," said Judge Landls.
"I believe about $100,000,000 Is out-
standing." said Mr. Rockefeller. "I
do not state this definitely, your
honor."
"You thing then it is about $100,000,
000?"
That is my idea." Mr. Rockefeller
spoke very deliberately, looking at his
attorneys, • before answering Judge
Landis' questions, but. listening closely
to the judge as the latter, leaning to
ward the oil magnate, sjowly enunci-
ated his questions after repeated
questions as to what was the business
of the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey. Witness said could not say
the company had any other business
than refining oil. Judge Landis
asked:
"What wore the dividends of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
in 1905?
"I cannot say exactly, but approx-
imately 40 per cent."
This concluded the questions of
Judge Landls and District Attorney
Sims took the witness, who asked him
what officers of the company will be
able to give him the earnings of the
Standard Oil company during 1904
and 1905. and was informed possibly
Mr. Archbold or Mr. Pratt could do so.
This concluded the examination for
the time and Mr. Rockefeller returned
to his seat.
C. M. Pratt was then called and tes
tlfed the Standard Oil company owned
the greater part of the stock of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.
The next witness was E. M. Stanton
of the department of the Chicago and
Alton. While Mr. Stanton was testi-
fying Mr. Rockefeller arose and start-
ed to leave the room. He partly open-
ed the gate, when It was pushed back
against him by the bailiff. He took
his repulse meekly and returned with-
out a protest to his seat.
After the testimony of Stanton
Judge I^andis asked if the defense de-
sired to introduce any evidence and
was informed "absolutely nothing"
This ended the testimony.
SEND THEM TO PRISON.
Hon. W. J. Bryan Favors This Dispo
sition of Trust Magnates.
Chicago. July 8 —A dispatch to the
Record-Herald from Warsaw. Ind.,
says: "Send John D. Rockefeller and
a dozen other trust magnates to prison
for a long term of years and one of
the most vital questions before the
people of this country will have been
solved." declared Hon. William Jen
nings Bryan at a banquet given In bis
honor by Dr. Sol C. Dickey, president
of the Winona Lake assembly.
"President Roosevelt and others
are now bringing to a successful Issue
the principles and Ideas I advocated
seventeen vears ago," Mr. Bryan con
tlnued. " This is particularly true as
regards the tariff. The president Is
compiling my future speeches for me "
Mr Bryan took a fling at the presi
dent's cabinet, saying that there was
not a man in It who agreed with
Roosevelt.
Referring to the controversy be
tween the United States and Japan.
Mr Bryan, who, during his trip around
the world, visited the eastern empire
said a little more backbone at Wash
Ington would settle the differences for
all time to come without a conflict be
tween the two nations.
"Japan will follow In the path of
Spain and other nations once powerful
unless there Is a religious awakening
In that country," he said. "There's
one thing that can save Japan and
that is the spread of Christianity."

One Ever Before Seen
IN CHICAGO COURTHOUSE.
For an Hour Before the Opening the
Hallway Was Thronged and Police
Were Nearly Overpowered by Push
of Perspiring' Populace.
Chicago, July 8.—An hour before
the usual hour of opening Judge Lan-
dls' court, a crowd of people gathered
iu tho hallway outside of the court-
room. packing the narrow hallway to
the point of suffocation. Police and
deputies time and again were compel!
ed to use strenuous measures to hold
the crowd In check. The police were
nearly swept from their feet by the
oonstant surging and pressure. The
jam around the door when it opened
at 9:40 o'clock was terrific. A major-
ity of the spectators were in and
seated when Mr. Rockefeller made Ms
appearance at the end of the hall, nt
tended by a f«iw friends and counsel.
A passageway was opened for him by
by the police and he walked slowlv
down the hall toward the courtroom
the crowd closing behind him. Mr.
Rockefeller was show.i to a teat af
the left of the judge's desk. Mr Rock
efeller looked curiously around him
for a moment as ho settlod in his seat
and then commenced a whispered con
versation with one of his attorneys
William Rockefeller. his brother, took
a seat at his side They conversed a
moment, then quietly turned to watch
the proceedings that, preceded the call
ing of the Standard Oil company case
The oppressive heat of the courtroom
made the crowd restless, but it quiet
ed when Judge Landis threatened to
have the room cleared.
Immediately after the entrance of
Mr. Rockefeller, tho courtroom pande
monlum broke loose In the hallway.
The crowd pushed at the policemen,
gasping and perspiring, and was
shoved back In desperate fashion
From struggling with the police mem
bers of the crowd soon turned on each
other and a few spontaneous punching
matches enlivened the already stren
Uous proceedings ill the hall. So seri
ous did the proceedings become, that
United States Marshal Hoyt was com-
pelled to telephone the police head
quarters for additional help. The par
allel for such a situation was never be
fore witnessed ih or about a Federal
courtroom at Chicago. Inside the
courtroom proper, the jam was nearly
as bad as in the hall outside.

Motion to This Effect Adopted at Con-
federate Meeting.
Nashville, July 8.—At a meeting oi'
Frank P. Cheatham bivouac of
United Confederate Veterans. Secre-
tary John P. Hickman Introduced a
resolution to the effect that It be
the sense of the bivouac that there be
no ladies appointed to represent Con-
federate veterans, and the woman at
present on the staff of one of the high
officers be requested to resign, and no
more appointed tp such places of hon-
or, or any other place within the or-
ganization. The resolution was adopt-
ed unanimously. There is a woman at
present on the staff of one of the gen-
erals who bears the title of assistant
surgeno general, and who makes It a
point, It Is said, to attend all reunions
in uniform and with a sword. This
practice is very objectionable to the
local reterans.

Bullet Four Years Ago.
New York. July 8.—Alexander Ad
rehi. who had his spinal cord severed
by a bullet four years ago, will soon
be discharged from the city hospital
on Black well's Island entirely well.

the remarkable success of the opera
tion, which was performed by the late
Dr. George Everson Fowler on May
9, 1903. The ends of the severed cord
was drawn together. Adrehl was shot
in the back daring a street fight at
Brooklyn When he was taken to the
hospital the lower part of his body
was completely paralyzed.
