The court said that he I did not wish to impose sentence until Jnrneckc’s appeal from a bootlegging 1 conviction last July had been decided. ’ Jarnecke was the chief witness against Means and Felder. New York, Jan. BO. —Gaston B. Means, former department of justice agent, and Thomas B. Feldsr, his attorney, joday were convicted in the federal court on changes of conspiring to bribe, govern- , merit officials in the Crager system glass , casket fraud case ip 1923. The verdict was returned under seal by the jury last night after almost six hours' deliberation, and was opened today. Max imum penalty under the conviction is two years Imprisonment and • fine of *IO,OOO. The jury’s verdict carried with It a ’ recommendation for mercy. ' The verdict returned by the first judge- ■ picked jury to function in a federal court , trial here marked one of the many high ( lights in sensational career of Means. „ At intervals in the past eight years , he figured in a series of episodes rsng ing from trial for murder to accusations of graft in which names of men active in ( pub’ic life were banded about. The present case got into court when a federal grand jury last March indicted Means, .Felder and Elmer W. Jarnecke, who had been known as secretary to Means, on the justice obstruction con spiracy charge. Officials of the Crager System, Inc., and the Glass Casket Com pany, of Altbona. Pa., charged the trio with having obtained *65,000 from them on their representation that it would be spent in bribing “high officials to call off , their prosecution on charges of'having , used the mails in a stock fraud conspir acy. Seventeen of the more than fifty ( men involved subsequently were convict- , ed and sentenced to penitentiary terms , in Atlanta. It was after their convic tion that the Crager glass casket defend ants complained, and the indictment of the accused trio followed. 4 The indictment charged among other things that the defendants conspired “to represent that T. B. Felder was a secret partner in practice of law with the at torney general of the United States, then Harry M. Daugherty, and that Means was an officer and an employee of the government occupying a position of im portance in the department of justice.” With the opening of the trial January sth, Jarnecke changed his plea to guilty and became the government’s chief wit ness. That great interest has been aroused in the trial of Gaston B. Means was shown by the many inquiries received at this office this morning as to the verdict of the jury. The morning newspapers carried the announcement that a sealed verdict had been turned in last night and would be read this morning at 10 o’clock and shortly after that hour the inquiries began coming in. The jury was given the case Thursday afternoon about 3 o'clock and the verdict was reached five hours later. The ver dict was a sealed one, hawever, Sod Judge I.ludley, who presided at the trial, an nounced that it would be read in court this morning. One report received from New York declared many persons were in the court room when the verdict was read, this case having attracted more attention than the other one in which Means was tried.

Jan. 30. —With streets clog ged with slush, and sidewalks icecoated I under a deceptive layer of wet snow, New York today struggled with the af termath of its fifth severe snow of the winter. Street cleaners who had not succeed ed in cleaning away the drifts from the previous storms, waded ail night through the puddles of wnter dammed by slush from yesterday’s snow, in an attempt to have the main avenues free of snow to day. In some of the side streets the snow from the last three storms was pack ed in layers, or had been pushed into huge mounds tp clear a passageway in the center of the streets. After a few Hurries yesterday morning the snow started falling heavily at 2:35 o’clock in the afternoon, and by 0:15 o'clock when it changed first to damp sleet and then to rain, a new inch and a half layer was spread over the drifts already left by Tuesday's storm. Other flurries of snow fell last night, but the weather bureau decreed fair weather and probably warmer weather for today. All New England was suffering from the effects of the storm, several inches of snow being added to that already left by the preceding snows. In the vicinity of Boston, three inches of snow fell.

Greensboro, Jan. 29.—A meetiug of the Edwards heirs was held in- the courthouse here tonight with Walter Thomas of this city, agent for Guilford and Rockingham county heirs, reporting on progress of the establishment of claims to a fabulously rich estate in New- Y’ork.

Paris, Jan. 30. —Fifty thousand francs in French gold coins fell out of an old stove, which had just been sold for ten francs at n Paris auction room a few days ago. When removing his 10-franc purchase the buyer asked the auctioneer to give him a hand to place it on a wheelbarrow. The stove was wonder fully heavy, and despite the efforts of the two men, it fell to the ground. The door of the stove flew open, fallowed by a stream of gold. At that sight, the auctioneer adopted I high-handed tactics, threatening the pur chaser with jail if he did not imme diately hand back the gold. The pur chaser . kept on smiling—and summoned a policeman. Finally, the seller of the stove accepted 10,000 francs from the ‘ lucky buyer, -who reached home with 40,- 000 francs and the stove. How the gold came to be hidden there is, and : probably will ever remain a mystery.

WAGONER Will Wear Two Paris Gowns This Evening.—The Prima Donna W3l Remain Here Till Tomorrow. Frieda Heinpel—the Jenny Lind of to day—arrived in Concord this morning on train No. 33 and was welcomed at the station by her hostess, Mrs. C. B. Wago . ner, and representatives of several civic organizations. Miss Heinpel was a corn pan ied by Coenraad V. Bos, pianist, and Louis P. Fritze, flutist, and a French maid. The weather was practically perfect for the coming of the great singer who gives Concord its supreme musical per- I formnnce of years. After two days of cold in which rain and snow vied to make the weather as disagreeable as pos sible. the sky was cloudless and the sun shone brightly. The early morning air had just the right amount of cold to give an exbilcrating feeling. When she stepped front the train, Miss Heinpel looked a trifle tired, as though the trip had been a hard one. Mr. Boa explained that the car hud been too warm and that it had been almost impossible for her to sleep. The party was imme diately taken from the station, Miss Hemi>el and maid going to Mrs. Wago ner's and the two men being taken to the hotel. I Miss Meinpel's pictures, which have been shown in Concord recently, do not flatter her in the least. She is a most attractive person, even in traveling clothes after a tiresome night on the train. She is very blond, her hair being a golden yellow and her eyes of a light blue. She has a gracious personality and is the possessor at charming numbers. Miss Heinpel, when interviewed by a representative of The Tribune, stated that she was quite pleased to be in Con- • cord. "Most of my day,’ she said, “will T* SPWUo resjjng..ajid. practicing ao that,.. T may give Vo my audience nl' Concord lans a very good concert. I really don't know what else to tell them except that I hai>e thnt a large number of them will be our to henr me sing." Miss Hempe! then told of her recent trip to England which was the most suc cessful concert tour she had since she has been singing, she said. It was so tine that plans were already being made to return either next summer or the summer following. She also plans to make tours of Japan and Australia, in fact she sails for Japan early in March. The Australian tour will be made in 10211. There was a bit of good news for the ladies of Concord. Miss Hempel had, she said, two new gowns made by the world's greatest dressmaker, Callot of Paris, which she was going to wear to night. They were so Jiretty that Miss Hempel herself seemed 1 a trifle proud of them and was anxious to be able to show them off tonight. When asked as to the amount of prac tice that she had to do to Iteep in condi tion, Miss Hempel replied that it was only necessary to practice about an hour a day. With so much concert singing, , the only rehearsing required was that which would keep her from acquiring \ faults of technique. , After the concert tonight. Miss Hempel will remain in the city until tomorrow morning and she will then go on to j Asheville where she will sing on Mon day night. , The committee which met Miss Hem pel at the station consisted of Mr. and . Mrs. C. B. Wagoner, Mrs. Joe F. Can ■ non, Mrs. C. F. Ititchie, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Odell, Kay Patterson and H. W, j Blanks. i The Manufacturers Club will be thrown open to visiting ladies during the after- I noon where they may go to rest or stay , before the concert.
