Waahlngton, July 1*.—"Jail-seeker"
G-utrdaln, of Chicago, appeared at th«
office of the United State* supreme
court yesterday with a petition for a
writ of mandamus upon Judge Gross-
cup. of Chicago, to compel the latter to
tend him to the JotleL III., peniten
tiary.
-1 will not eat. sleep nor drink until I
ret back to Joliet I did that once, and
I can do It again. Some men worship
money: some worship Ood, and some,
like myself, worship honor. I promised
the court and Jury which tried me that
If they found me guilty I would not ap
peal the case. They found me guilty In
about 15 minutes, and I went to Joliet
and stayed there for Just one month,
less one day, and If It had not been for
the treachery of my counsel I would
have been behind the bars today.”
He Has $5,000,000.
This was the beginning of an extra
ordinary statement made at the Raleigh
hotel last night by Louis A. Oourdaln,
of New Orleans.
"I have <5,000,000,” he continued,
"and today I shall ask Postmaster Gen
eral Cortelyou to require every post
master In the country to set up In his
office a notice declaring that I am
ready to pay back every cent of money
Invested In my enterprises, together
with 8 per cent Interest.
"The government has found me guil
ty of fraud, and I purpose to serve out
the sentence of four years and a half
to which I was sentenced In Just the
same manner I would were I Inside
the walls of Joliet. I shall build my
own penitentiary. I shall turn all of
my money back to the people whom the
court said. I defrauded, and after that I
shall leave the United States.
Would Destroy Family.
"In my closing argument to the Jury
I told them that the conduct of Judge
Landis met my approval; that I knew
Judge Landis was absolutely honest,
and that I was positive the 12 men who
were sitting on the Jury were of the
highest Intelligence, as well as abso
lutely honest, and that If they had the
faintest suspicion of a doubt In their
minds that I was one whit less honest
than they were themselves, I should
demand that they find me guilty, and
that I should demand at the hands of
the court to be sentenced to the full ex
tent of the law and to be sent to the
penitentiary Immediately.

a AND ORDERS FOOD.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, July It.—Tele
grams to the number of nearly,
a dosen came from Chicago to
day for Louis A. Gourdaln.
They were delivered to him at
the Hotel Savoy, where he spent
the night.
The telegrams, It was learned,
came from Mrs. Gourdaln and
friends of the convicted man.
They begged him to come West
at once and end his search for
a Judge kind enough to let him
enter the penitentiary gate*. He
Ignored them utterly.
The young man evidently for
got his determination not to cat
until his petition was filed with
the United States supreme
cotlrt, also his vow not to speak.
He had an early breakfast In his
costly apartments, consisting of
strawberries, cantaloupes, oat
meal, fried mush and a large
pot of coffee.
“Get me some molasses,” he
said to the waiter, "and be sure
It's from Louisiana.”

gentleman that when I came out of
prison I would deed all my fortune,
consisting of cash, real estate, national
bank stocks, private banks, trust com
panies and bonds and securities of
every civilised nation on the face of
the globe, and then by unanimous con
sent of the entire Gourdaln family we
would wipe ourselves off the face of
the map of the United States so that
this government would never have any
more trinity* with us.
He Starves Himself.
"I told the warden In my last appeal
that I would neither eat, sleep nor
drink until I had filed this mandamus
proceeding before this honorable court
and had It granted or refused.
"So for this reason. If for no other,
I most humbly beg on my knees that
this honorable court Immediately Issue
a writ of mandamus directed to and
against Judge Grosscup. of the United
States district court of appeals at Chi
cago, to set aside the supersedeas which
he granted on July 5, 1905, and that
he order the marshal to send me back
Immediately to the Illinois state peni
tentiary."

Charlotte, N. C., July 19.—The prom
Ised sensational trial of the twenty
one alleged Anson county lynchers was
brought to a dead halt yesterday after,
noon, after a morning spent In argu
ment and searching of the atate laws,
and It was decided that a case without
precedent la Involved In the affair
which the state supreme court will
have to settle.
In a nutshell, It Is this: "Can the
grand Jury of Anson county Indict
man who la taken to Union county for
trial?"
Judge Shaw held that there was no
precedent to Justify him In continuing
the trial wherein a Union county grand
Jury on Monday of this week had found
a bill of Indictment against an Anson
county defendant, or that It was legal
to transfer the case from Anson to
Union under the existing clrcum
stances.
The bonds of the defendants have
been flxed at <5,000 each, as before, and
they have been given permission to re.
turn home, the cases against them go.
