Walter SHvey's Case,. "
During the session of the United
States District Court yesterday "the
trial of Nicholas Politz, charged with
counterfeiting, was concluded, a ver
dictof guilty rendered and the convict
sentenced tor-six years imprisonment
at hard labor and a fine of $500 im
posed. Walter ' Silvey i was also sen
tenced to imprisonment at hard labor
for a year and a day and a fine of $100
imposed. "
The court room ' was crowded with
people yesterday morning especially
during the progress of the trial of Politz
They were eager to hear the conclu
sion of Politz's confession.
Spectators were not disappointed in
their anticipation of sensational evi
dence. It was given not onlv bv Politz
but by Theo. Darkley, Dr. Harper and
others,. : . i N r. .(-...
Hon. John D. Bellamy briefly re
freshed PotHz's " memory as to the
statements he had made during his
-partial confession on Tuesday after
noon : how he had met the Greek. Cole-
boloso, purchased granulated silver
and crucibles, gone with A. J. ... Mar
shall, Esq., to purchase a - gasoline
fire-pot for him and was aidiDg Mar
shall to procure a room in which the
Greek -.could work. .. ' '' " . .-..'
Politz's Confession.
Mr. Bellamy then told Politz to pro
ceed with his statement where he had
eft off when the court took a recess
Tuesday and he did so making the fol-
o wing statement:
The room was rented for the Greek,
Coleboloso, and he put his things in
it; I did" not go up. there for three or
our days: my boy at the store went
up one day and came back and told
me that he saw Uoleboloio -and Mr.
Marshall molding coin up there: a
ittle while after that I saw Mr. Mar
shall come down stairs; Coleboloso al
so came down later.
"Mr. Marshall came to me the next
day and said that the Greek (Colebo
loso) .was a smart man; that
he knew how to make com;
afterwards he asked me to eo
up stairs and see him make money;
went but the Greek had no success.
said the material was not good ; Mr.
Marshall ordered good materials and
gave them to Coleboloso ; I was in
Baltimore when it came.
"When I came back Coleboloso came
te me and said that he was going to
Norfolk for a while and wanted to
leave his outfit and materials at my
store ; I objected ; Mr. Marshall came
to me and begged that I , keep the
things for Coleboloso just Tor one or
two weeks. 1 tooJc the things to keep ;
that is all I know about them; Colebo
loso came back to me before he went
away and brought a tin box which he
asked me to put in my safe ; I wrapped a
piece of brown paper around the box
and put it away; the box is the one in
evidence with th counterfeit dollars
in it. Mr. Marshall came to see me
in the jail after I was arrested and
said that the granulated silver left
with me by the Greek was his (Mar
shall's) property. i !
Uross -examined Yes, i said that
Mr. Marshall was with me when i I
bought the fire-pot from Burr & Bailey ;
he said the Greek wanted it to do
plimbing; I have known Coleboloso
since 1898; I do not know what be
came of the moulds he used ; I knQw of
no one other than . those 1 have
mentioned who were connected with
or knew of the counterfeiting ; Theo.
Darkley knew of it, and spoke to
me about it; he did not play on the
accordion in the room while the coin
was being moulded that I know of;
yes. mr. Marsnau appear ea as attor
ney for me at my trial beiore tne com
missioner: Mr. Marshall sent for me
after the Greek left and said he knew
what was m the box left with me, and
that the silver was his."
District Attorney Bernard asked
Politz if Mr. Marshall attempted to
exact from him any promise after he
was arrested, as to himself (Marshall)
and any connection he might have
had with the counterfeiting. Defend
ant's counsel objected at first, and
then 'asked that the question be put
and answered ; but the District Attor
ney declined to renew the question or
allow the witness to answer. In con
clusion Politz said that he never knew
that coin of any denomination save
standard dollars were made by the
Greek in his room. -
It was 9.10 o'clock when Politz con
eluded his statement and left the wit
ness stand. "
Further Evidence.
District Attorney Bernard asked
counsel for defence if they would, in
they face of evidence, insist upon a
verdict of not guilty. After consulta
tion with Politz, Marsden Bellamy,
Esq., stated that the court Jtn&w the
peculiar position in which defendant's
Counsel is placed in he case, and they
were willing to learo the wnoie mat
ter of their client's guilt or innocence.
withthe jury, under the charge of the
iudee without argument. v
District Attorney Bernard then said
that in that event he would proceed to
examine additional witnesses.
J. P. Flynn, deputy sheriff, -testified
to having heard last October that
Politz was making money in the back
part of his store, and was asked to hang
abouUhe store and ferifr the matter
out; he could not, because Politz was
mad with him ; he told Detective Perry
all he knew. ' .'
- CaDt J. R. Williams, local agent
for the Southern Express Company,
was sworn and testified that in April,
1898, he received a O. O. D. package
from Myers & Co., manufacturing
jewelers of New. York, for Nicholas
Politz; two packages in October from
Glendenin & Co., Baltimore ; heread
express bills for The packages; the
WILMINGTON, N0., THURSD
items were 10 sounds of - Granulated
silver, 2 pounds of scrap silver and
20 pounds of antimony ; also a bill for
a smelting furnace and three crucibles.
Mr. Perry identified the bills as the
same that he" found 'in Politz' safa
when he searched the store after his
arrest s , -
Dr. Charles Harper wa3 sworn and
testified as follows : '
."Nicholas Politz came to me at my
room in -the-. VonKamnen buildinc
and asked me if 1-warfte.d to go into a
scneme to mage some money : he said
ne naa iouna a man who could make
money as well as the mint: I told him
no, that I did not want to make money
that way, and advised him not to have
anything to do with such a thing ; I
torn Mr. Burnett, Dr. Webster and
others of this conversation ; later, in
October or November, I had occasion
to go to my room adjacent to those of
Nick Politz and Nick Coleboloso in
the VonKamDen buildinsr: I heard an
accordion playing and above that-the
ziz" and "splutter" like that of a
ighted gasoline fire-pot; the noise
came from the: - room of Politz and
(Joloboloso ; I called to them
for
peace's sake to hush." - .
; Theodro Darkley's Testimony.
The last witness and, withal,
one
whose evidence was most sensational,
was Theodro Darkley. - the young
Greek who- was arrested Mondiy
night, his name having been given to
the press as :'Nicholos Dawkin?." At
the time -of his arrest the chars-e cn
which the arrest was made was
given out by
detective as
the secret service
making counterfeit
nickels. It
ever, from
develops now, . how
the same authority
that there is no- such charge and he
will be tried ' this afternoon in the
United States Commissioner's Court
on. the charge Of implication' in the-
same counterfeiting scheme as Politz
and others. Darkley's testimony was
as follows: '-. -j ' " ' -
IT have been in Wilmington two
years; have clerked for ISick Politz"
and Tony ' Faatopula : I play the ac
cordion ; one nighty I went to ' Nick
Politz s room ; it -was next to mine :
the door was cracked open ; as . I
pushed the door open I saw by the
green light of a gasoline fire-pot the
spoons and other ; things to make
money; the Greek, Coleboloso, and
Mr. Marshall were in the room at
work; they seemed startled; I started
to leave, but the Greek sprang across
the room and caught me by the collar;
he first told me to go . away and then
wouldn't let me go; he consulted
with Politz and then they let me off.
Several days afterwards I looked
through the keyhole of Politz's room
and saw Nick Politz, Mr. Marshall and
Coleboloso working with the tools and
examining money ; (a picture of the
Greek, Coleboloso, was banded to him.
and he identified it ; it being . that of
the man arrested in New York charged
with counterfeiting); seven or eight
days after that the Greek left town."
In reply to leading questions by Dis
trict 'Attorney Bernard, Darkley said:
"Mr. Marshall came to me after
Politz's arrest and warned me to te
careful, think about it; that he wanted
no trouble; he said Nick Politz sent
word to say nothing it 1 valued my
ne: 1 met the Greek a few days after
I looked throusrh the key hole and he
gave me a bundle of material and told
me to carry it to Mr. Marshall s office;
did not examine it; 1 bought an
elastic tube and bulb from Dr. Hardin
for the Greek because he. could not
speak English good; I bought some
metal from Burr & Bailey for Nick
Politz, telling them that Nick wanted
it for a plumber in the country. -
Under cross-examination by counsel
for the defence, Darkley said: - - .
"I came from Greece; I am charged
with counterfeiting; don't know what
they have against me: yes, Mr. Perry
saw me in jail; he told me to tell the
truth when I went on the witness
stand, and I will tell all I know; he
said for me not to notice anything I
saw in the papers the day after I was
arrested; Mr. Perry did not otter me
anything as a reward for testifying;
he said Politz told on me and told him
that I saw the counterfeiting; when
first came to . this country I was
at Northampton, Massachusetts, four
months; I went to New Haven, Conn.,
and then came here; I clerked for
Politz first and was with Tony Fan
topula three and a half years; I was
never in court i but once before and
then as a witness ; was never charged
with a crime; I sent Tony Fantopula
to tell Detective Perry to come to see
me at the jail."; j L I -
Judge Pnrneli's Charge.
The examination of. Darkley com
pleted, a discussion arose among coun
sel as tq whether there should be any
argument to the jury. Defendant's
counsel stated i that they would not
offer argument because of the peculiar
attitude of their client in 1 ignoring
their advice and plan of procedure.
Judge Purnell Intimated that he
would charge the jury that if they be
lieved the testimony of the witness
himself, he was guilty.' The District
Attorney thereupon announced that
thereWould be no argument for the
prosecution.- : !
j Judge ; Purnell's charge was brief.
He reviewed the bill of indictment,
explaining the offences charged, coun
terfeiting United States coin, having in
his possession moulds, dies, etc., for
manufacturing money, and circulating
spurious coin. I As to the last offence
named, he chargetl that there was no
evidence as he remembered. As to
the other two, the evidence of-the de
fendant alone j was sufficient to con
vict. He read the statutes germane
to the case, and concluded with a cau"
tion that if they doubted the truthful
ness of the testimony, to give the de
fendant the benefit of the doubt.
" j The jury : retired from j the court
room about 11 o'clock and was out
probably fifteen minutes when they
returned and rendered a verdict of
guilty. , j - - 1 :
. . Pronouncing Judgment. ' z
About noon the case of Politz was
called up for Judge Purnell to pass
sentence. - The1 Judge stated that the
maximum punishment prescribed by
statute for cases - such as . that of
Nicholas Politz was $10,000 and ten
years at hard labor; that it appeared,
however, that Politz was not the
principal - conspirator and counter
feiter and that he (Politz) showed
willingness to assist in stamping - out
the evil fronv. which the community
has suffered so long and lie would
therefore fix Politz's sentence at six
years imprisonment at hard labor and
$500fine. -
Waller Silvey's Sentence.
District -Attorney Bernard also
prayed judgment in the case against
Walter Silvey, convicted on Monday
on the charge of counterfeiting. And
Marsden Bellamy, Esq., and Geo.
Rountree, Esq., made' earnest appeals
or a light sentence, pleading the youth
of the offender and the high character
of his aged father. Judge Purnell de
clared that, having been approached on
hesubject by many of the best people
of the city, he was very desirous of im
posing the lightest punishment pos
sible, the maximum . punishment pre
scribed, being $1,000 fine and three
years imprisonment at hard laborT
After considerable discussion the sen-:
tence was announced as a fine of $100
and imprisonment at hard labor for
one year and one day. . He said that if
any counsel could show him a ruling
under which a lighter punisjhment
could be imposed, he would crladly
ighten the sentence to-day. t
One Other Case.
There was one other case disposed of
yesterday. Jno. Home was convict
ed of. retailing - without ' license and
was fined $100 and imprisoned at hard
labor for one year, i
The court took a recess at 2 P. M.
until 8:30 to-day, when the odds and
ends of the court docket will be dis
posed of and final adjournment taken.
The jurors were all discharged for
the term yesterday.

stockholders of the association, the
preparation of which was entrusted to '

me r e ports contained a good many
details but-showed in a general way
what is already very well known, that
the past season has been a- disastrous
one for the growers of strawberries.
It was expected that the crop would
reach 350,000 crates, but the ship
ments lacked a good deal, of . going to
this figure. !
The Board of Directors secured a
reduction of 20 cents per crate on re
frigerator' shipments to Western
points a reduction which was in ef
fect in time for last season's ship
ments. -- - ' - ". .

When the case wis called -Iredell
Meares,' Esq., arose and -announced

fear that' a verdict of not
guilty will be accorded by the jury,
He asked that the bond for Mr. Mar

Clammy all entering their protest, de
claring the bond especially excessive
and unusuaL On the other hand
"Messrs Rnftars and ; Bernard, of the

in the course of the argument acknowl
edged that he had never known a $10,-
000 bond to be exacted in North Caro

his first-demand for $10,000 bond and
adjourned tne court, j Aiierwaras tne

the. District Attorney's office and that
official agreeing to the change, the
amount was reduced and the bond
