' MORE SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE Politz's -Confession Concluded Tbeodo Darkley, a New State's Evidence Wit. : ness Tells What He Knows. Walter Silvey's Case. ; i During the session of the United States District Court yesterday the trial of Nicholas Politz, charged with counterfeiting, was concluded, a ver diefcof guilty rendered and the convict sentenced to six years imprisonment at hard labor and a fine of $500 im posed. Walter Silvey 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 only by Politz but by Theo. Darkley, Dr. Harper and others. Hon. JohnTX Bellamy briefly re freshed Politz'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 aiding Mar shall to' procure a room in which the Greek could work. ' Politz's Confession. Mr. Bellamy then told Pofttz to pro- ceed with his statement where he had left off when the court; took a recess Tuesday and he did so making the fol lowing statement : " The room was rented for the Greek. Coleboloso, and lie put his things in it; I did not go .up there for three or four days ; my boy at the store went up one day and came back and told me that he saw Coleboloso and Mr. Marshall molding coin up there; a little 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 coin: afterwards he asked me to so up stairs and see him make money; 1 went but the Greek had no success. said the material was not srood : Mr. Marshall ordered good materials and gave them to Coleboloso : I was in Baltimore when it came. "When I came back Coleboloso came to me and said that he was going to Norfolk for a while and wanted to leave i his outfit and materials at my store; I objected; Mr. Marshall came to me and begged that I keen the things for Coleboloso just for one or two weeks. I took 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 jt away; the box is the one in evidence with tha 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. Uross-exammed "Yes. I said that Mr. Marshall was with me when I bought the fire-pot from Burr & Bailey ; he said the Greek wanted it to do plumbing; I have known Coleboloso since 1898: 1 do not know what be came of the moulds he used ; I know of no one other than- those I nave 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. Marsn.aU appeared as attor ney for me at my trial before the com missioner; Mr. Marshall sent for me after the Greek left and said he knew what wasin the boxjef t 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 elusion 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. , Farther Evidence. District Attorney Bernard asked counsel for defence if they would, in they face of evidence, insist upon verdict of not guilty. After consulta tion with Politz, Marsden Bellamy, Esq., stated that the court knew the peculiar position in which defendant's counsel is placed in the case, and they were willing to leave the whole mat ter of their client's guilt or innocence with the jury, under the charge of the judge without argument District Attorney Bernard then said that inrlhat event he would proceed to examine additional witnesses. J. P. Flynn, deputy sheriff, testified to havine heard last October that Politz was making money in the back part of his store, and was asked to bang about the -store and ferit the matter out; lie could not, because Politz was mad with him; he told Detective Perry all he knew. Capt. . J. R. Williams, local agent for; the Southern Express Company. was sworn and testified that in April, 1898, he received a C. O. D. package from Myers & Co., manufacturing jewelers of New York, for Nicholas Politz; two packages in October from Glendenin & Co., Baltimore ; he read express bills lor tne packages; tne items were 10 pounds of granulated silver, 2f pounds of scrap silver and 20 pounds of antimony; also a bill for a smelting furnace and three crucibles. Mr. Perry identified the bills lis the same that he found in Politz' safe when he searched the store after his arrest. Dr. Charles Harper was sworn and testified as follows; " ' "Nicholas Politz. came to me at my room in the VonKampen building and asked me if I wanted to go into' a schema to make some money: he said ub naa round 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 advisedhimnot to have anything to do with such a thing; I viu Mr. Burnett, Dr. Webster and" oiners of this conversation; later, in October or November, I had occasion to go to my room adjacent to those of wick jfoiitz 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 nd -Coloboloso; I called to -them for peace's sake to hush." Tbeodro Darkley's Testimony. The last witness and, withal, one whose evidence was most sensational. was Theodro Darkley. the young Greek who was arrested Monday night," his name haying been given to the press as "Nicholos Dawkins." At the" time of his arrest the charge on which the arrest . was made was given out by the secret service detective, as making counterfeit nickels. It develops now. how ever, from "the Name 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: . 'I have been iu 'Wilminzto: two years; have clerked for Njck Politz and Tony Fantopula; Iplay the ac cordion? one night Iwent to Nick rolitzs room'; it was next to mine: the door. was-cracked open; 'as I pushed thedoor open I saw by 4he 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 snransr across the room and caught me by the collar; ne nrst tola me to go away, and then wouldn't let me go; he consulted with Politz and then they let me off. "Se vera! days afterwards I looked through the kevhole 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 handed to him and he identified it; it being that of the man arrested in New York charged with counterfeitme) : seven or eisht 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 be careful, think about it; that he wanted no trouble; he said Nick Politz sent word to say nothing if I valued my life; I met the Greek a few days after I looked through the key-hole and he gave me a bundle of material and told me to carry it to Mr. Marshall s omce; 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 ox Bailey for Nick Politz, telling them that Nick wanted it for a plumber in the country. j L 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 offer me anything as a reward for testifying; he said .Politz told on me and told mm that I saw the counterfeiting; when first came to this country I was at Northampton, Massachusetts, four months; l went to XMew laven, uonn., 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 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." Judge Purnell's Charge. The examination of Darkley com pleted, a discussion arose among coun sel as to whether there should be any argument to the jury. Defendant's counsel ' stated that they wfuld not offer argument because ofj the peculiar attitude of their client Hn 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 there would 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 Statesoin, having in his possession moulds, dies, etc., for. manufacturing money, and circulating spurious coin. As to the last offence, named, he charged that there was no evidence as he remembered. As to the other two, the evidence of the de fendant alone 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. The jury retired from the court room about 11 o'clock and was out probably fifteen minutes when they returned and rendered a verdict of guilty. Pronouncing Judgment. About noon the case of Politz was called up for Judge Purnell to pass sentence. The. Judge stated that the maximum puniahnient 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 a willingness to assist in stamping out the evil from which the community has suffered so long and he would therefore fix Politz's sentence at six years imprisonment at hard labor and $500 finer ' Walter 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 for 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 the subject 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 laoor. 1 After considerable discussion the seny 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 punishment could be imposed, he would gladly lighten the sentence to-day. . 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. ? : , 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 disposed-of and final adjournment taken. The ,iurors were all discharged ; for the term yesterday. :.. TRUCKERS' MEETING.

Speculative operations in cotton futures were con ducted within) conservative lines, traders having to decide between bear ish crop accounts and bullish reports regarding the outlook for the manu factured article: the latter was gener ally favorable! Private cables were particularly encouraging as to the out look for business with the far East The market opened with a hesitating movement, resulting in an advance of one point to a similar 'decline on the first call. Subsequently the market took a generally lower level, but on the weakest intervals showed a loss of only three points. There was no out side support given to the market and the favorable crop advices from the cotton belt gave local bears the upper hand most of the time. Spot cotton in the South was reported in good demand at forme prices on for eign as well aadomestic account, which added to the prevailing precau tionof the bears: Trading dragged par ticularly in the afternoon and the market was finally steady at net one point higher to one point lower.
