Injunction Against Sweat Box
Methods of Detectives.
M illiam M. Smith, attorney, filed an
■injunction suit today against Chief N
A. Lanford of the detective depart
ment, Detectives Bullard and Doyal
and their associates, asking that they
be required to remove Peter Burnett, a
I negro prisoner, from a “sweat box" on I
the third floor of the police station, and I
that he be permitted to see the prison- ]
er. who is his client.
Mr. Smith states that Burnett, a ne
gro. is held “on suspicion. " but he be
lieves his client is to he charged with
murder. He has been refused permis
sion to see his client, and denied ad
mittance to the “sweat box" or storage
room on the third floor, whore Burnett
was being given the "third degree" by
the detectives.
The attorney says he appealed to.
Chief Lanford to introduce witnesses
at the examination of Burnett, to sj?
that he got a "fair deal," and that /all
evidence produced at the examination
be truthfully given, but that he 'was
denied this. In his petition for inunc
tion he. denounces “third degree"#meth
ods as barbarous and inhuman.
Judge Ellis issued an order 'acquiring
the detectives to release the/ prisoner
from the third floor room. 'A turn him

gro is held on suspicion oV killing John

. found in the Hudson river off Hoboken.
N. J., as that/of Nathan Schwartz, slay
er of Julia. Connors,
made early this afternoon at the Ho
boken morgue by Frank Alexander, a
brother-,in-law of Schwartz, was later
retracted by Alexander.
Alex-ander. when he first viewed the
body, declared without doubt It was
that, of Schwartz. Taken to view it a
second time by the police, he said: “No
it is not Nathan. 1 am sure. There is
no resemblance."
The police, dissatisfied with his con
flicting statements, sent for Samuel
Schwartz, father of Nathan to view the
body and settle all doubt.
NEW CURE FOR LOCKJAW
IS FOUND IN BALTIMORE
BALTIMORE. July 17. — The survival of
Bernard Myerly. nine years old. a victim
of lockjaw resulting from a stonebrufse,
has increased interest in the method .of
treatment used in the case by Dr Pearce
Ktntzing. This is the ninth of a series of
lockjaw cases in which Dr Kintzing and
his assistants at the Franklin Square hos
pital have used a new plan of treatment
with success.
The remedy is a solution of phenol of
10 per cent strength, diluted to suit the
cases and administered by hypodermic
injections deep into the muscles The In
jections are made at intervals of about
three hours at the start, with longer in
tervals as the patients rallied. The full
adult dose used is equivalent to about one
grain of pure crystalline phenol, ten drops
of the 10 per cent solution To avoid
soreness, in some cases one-half of the
solution diluted is injected and then the
other half injected In another place.

TRENTON, N .1,, Jul' 17 That a sur

gist of an opinion just rendered by Jus
tice Garrison, of the supreme court. The
jurist was formerly a surgeon of note.
Harris Rennan sued Dr Victor Parson
net and got a verdict of SI,OOO because
rhe surgeon, who started to operate on

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Jul} 17 - The map
shows further rains in the western states
overnight, particularly in the southern
half of Texas, and prospects are for more
1 extensive precipitation in Texas and Ok
lahoma during tlie next forty eight hours.
I Showery weather continues in the ea-stern
| half of Hie heli, and there were a good
man} unfavorable beav> rains in the At
lantic states. The north central belli
[has favorable weather Liverpool con
tlnues strong in spite of large straddles
and again refused the decline in our mai'-
kets.
our market fluctuated nervously '.his
morning between public buying on rain}
weather east of the Mississippi river and
professional selling on the price Ixtvel
and prospects for rain in the Wusnern
states. There was a report here that wee
vils had appeared in seven counties in
Alabama, which increased the existing
uneasiness in regard to probable damage!
by excessive moisture. A further back
ground for bullish operations is the opin
ion that the bureau report to appear in
the first few days of August will be very
bullish, probably giving a decline in con
dition up to 5 points, owing to the exist
ing pessimism in those states bavinffi
continued bad weather.
