THE DEAN CASE.

Some Startling- Arrest*

Sydney, October 5 A tremendous sensation was caused in the city this afternoon, when the Dean, cage assumed another phase. Mr Meagher was arrested first. Mr Crick, his partner, went to the Police Station to bail him out, when he too was, taken into custody. Later on Dean was arrested, all three being charged on a warrant, issued by the Crown, with conspiring to defeat the ends of justice.

By 4.30 p.m. all the accused were bailed. The amount of bail waa fixed at £3000 each. It is understood that the arrests eventuated through some communica tion made by Smith, the chemist, to the Attorney-General, but its purport is unknown, though it is surmised that it sets at rest the question, where did the poison come from ? Crick, when interviewed, after his release, had very little to say, remark ing that Mr Want, the Attorney- Geceralj had taken him away " from pieces of boiled fish today (referring to the fact that be was lunching at the time that he heard the warrant was . out), but he will find one turned to a i

shark before this is over." He added— " I have not taken any action before, but now will make revelations which ■will make those in high places sit up." He described the action of the Grown as a political job.

October 6.

There is no further information about the Dean case, except that it has been ascertained beyond a doubt that the Crown hold a statement on oath from a certain chemist that be supplied Dean with two different poisons The warrants were issued for tbe arrest of Meagher, Orick, and Dean at the in stance of the Attorney-General. Dean, who appears quit© uncon cerned at the latest developments, still maintains his innocence, and declares that he is not afraid of the final result.

The Truth newspaper publishes what it states to be the substance of the alleged confession by Smith, the chemist. It is to the effect that shortly before Mrs Dean's illness Dean came to his shop and obtained a quantity of both arsenic and strych nine, saying he wanted to kill rats, and that he wanted both poisons to make short work of the vermin. As the assistant was out, and no witness ■was present, he at first demurred, but being struck by Dean's apparently truthful manner, at last he agreed to give Mm the poisons he asked, but did not enter it in the poison sale book. Dean, he says, had previously been three times in the shop and got pre scriptions made up for his wife. In the light of subsequent developments Smith says he was afraid to confess, fearing the consequences of neglect of entering the sale of the poison in his books. Smith has persistently re fused to be interviewed, and it was ascertained that he was absent from home, though he will be in evidence when required as a Crown witness in connection with the case.

There ie good authority for stating that several more arrests will be made in the course of a day or two.

Sir Julian Salomons, interviewed, I said he had received a large number of letters since he made his statement, one containing information which led to the arrests yesterday, but he de clined at present to divulge its nature, j jrO-JR**'* CABLES Sydney, October 7 • Smith, the chemist, waited *on the Attorney-General on Friday evening and voluntarily confessed he had given arsenic to Dean. He said he wished to make a clean breast of the whole matter. He then made a Statutory declaration, which forms a bulky document. Smith goes into minute details of the transaction, and says he did not sell but gave a quantity of arsenic to Desn for the purpose of exterminating vermin. As there was no witness he did not fulfil the provision of the Act and enter a note in the poison sales book. He only confesses that be gave arsenic. With '» view to proving conspiracy, the Grown will endeavor to prove that Messrs Orick and Meagher became aware that Smith had supplied poison to D<jan, and a great point in their case will be that after Dean was con victed and in gaol, his attorneys, knowing him to be guilty, persisted in agitating for his release, and ulti mately succeeded in bringing about hia freedom. On the other hand, pre suming the knowledge of Dean's guilt Is proved, consideration will have to be given to the question of how far a solicitor is entitled to consider any communication coming from his client as confidential. This case may bristle with legal technicalities as well as sensational revelations.

Mr Crick states that he intends to bring the matter before Parliament on Tuesday. He is firmly convinced that the action taken is, so far as he is concerned, with a view to shutting his mouth, aDd discrediting him, so that when he does speak he may be, in the words of Salomons, an accused person. He is satisfied the Cabinet never sanctioned the action of the Attorney- General, and long before the case could be heard public opinion would be strongly agaiust the latter. It seems to him that before the Crown can enter on any case against Dean, or anyone else, they have to substantiate Dean's guilt, and that they will never do. He cannot see where his part in the ppnspiracy conjes in, as he had only seen Dean three or four times, and that since he was convicted.

Mr Meagher states he has no fear qf the result of the prosecution. He Intends to make a statement in Parlia ment, and will only say now that the announcement in regard to what has actuated the prosecutions will prove a revelation to the public. Mrs Smith, interviewed, said she had no idea where her husband was, but gave an absolute denial of the state ment that he had admitted selling poison to Dean. She said she was pertain he never did so. Detectives have heen engaged for a fortnight in tracing the sale of poison, and had several interviews with Smith. Dean, who is being closely watched, gind kept away from the reporters by pecoberi of tfce Deface Committee

refuses to make any statement beyond reiterating his innocence. The Com mittee still maintain their belief in him, and are preparing for his defence. It is asserted that certain of the

J most important statements by Sir j Julian Salomons have in a remarkable

manner received confirmation by the confession, and owing to a further state ment made by the chemist he felt com pelled to disclose what he knew, owing to the pain of mind he waa suffering through possession of the secret, t The Premier, who was absent at Paramatta, was completely surprised by the news of the arrests. When in formed he could hardly believe it. He said the case was all over, and imme diately left for Sydney.

Iydney. October 7

Both papers comment favorably on the j new loan. The Herald says, judging by the ! favor the loan already received, it has evi dently fallen on good times, and the floating promises to prove a greater success I than a similar undertaking by the New Zealand Government. The 'Jelczrapk says the success of the recent New Zealand loan justides the new departure iv floating a three per cent loan, the success of which is already certain.

THE WOOL MARKET.

The London correspondent of the Otago Daily Times, writing on August. 23, has the following on the subject of the woool market:—Wool continues to rise in value, and all the reports I receive are most cheer ing in their forecasts of future develop ments. Whatever may be the cause or causes of the improvement, all accounts agree that there is a marked enlargement of consumption, and consequently increased de mand. Latest advices from the Home manufacturing districts indicate tome hardening in values for those descriptions which were in favor during the late series, and signs are not wanting thab the woollen, as distinguished from the worsted, trade is beginning to feel the good effects of the present industrial expansion. A strong trade is doing in Germany, and the French are reported—as is cnly to be expected after inactivity in July—to be bare of stock and keen buyers. At antwerp the quotations for certain classes of wool have advp.need as much as 30 centimes per kilo since the 2nd inst.

The sales by private contract since the close of the late auctions now amount to 1100 bale., including 700 Australian and New Zealand, which have been realised at values which compares favorably with those current in July.

The gross arrivals to date for the fifth series of sales, which commences on Septem ber 24, are 208,000 bales—viz: Australia, 99,693 bales; New Zealand, 62,966 ; South Africa, 43,348, of which about 21,500 bales Australasian, and 28,500 bales of Cape have been forwarded direct to Yorkshire, the Continent, and other localities of extensive consumption.

There are several reasons why wool values ought to remain firm or improve. In the first place I learn on good authority that the American wool supples have decreased so seriously as to be quite inadequate to meet the needs of American trade. Even the heavy put chases made by Americans.at recent London sales have fallen greatly short of requirements, and have not yet even equalled the amount by which the American clip haa decreased; Amerirsa must take more wool, and I hear that the New Zealand wool is much pre ferred by American manufacturers to the home-grown article.

Secondly, I have trustworthy information from Yorkshire, where I have several per sonal friends among the woollen manufac turers, that the daily consumption of all sorts of wool ia simply enormous, and is steadily increasing. One leading authority says emphatically, * Values cannot possibly go lower {they are hardening daily, and are much more likely to show a marked advance at the next sales than any falling off.' Some of the smaller manufacturers hold aloof at present rates, . having unforfunate'y for themselves made contracts at the lowest prices. They are hopiDg against hope for a downward change, but it ia the opinion of those beat qualified to judj'e that the result will be their having in the end to pay even higher than.they would have to do if they bought now.

In spite of the heavy purchases by the large millers they have no supplies for any long period ahead, while most of ihe smaller men have virtually none at all, so it is certain that both large and small men will have to compete at the coming sales or else cease operations. Already the wool purchases have greatly exceeded those of last year, and yet all the supplies are reported to be short. Orders for the coming spring have been taken to a heavy extent, so that manufacturers must have wool to ke.p going and to enable them to fulfil their contracts.

All these things look very well for the New Zealand wool trade. It should mean a sub stantial increase not only in the receipts from wool itselt hut also in the value of pastoral and agricultural properties. The dawn of revived prosperity in this chief of New Zea land's industries has been long in soming, but it really does seem to have come at la3t as if it means to brighten into a period of prolonged prosperity.

!You can't always tell by th heading of an article what it is. It may be an advertise ment for Warner's Safe Cure, ' a safe, sure, , and positive cure for diseases of he kidneys ' and liver, and their developments,' and you do nob read advertisements if you know it, i but you have read this one so far, and ought to finish it, as it will only take you thirty seconds to read the testimonial of Mrs Eliza Parkes, who has resided in Gi-bourne, Victoria, for thirty years, which is witnessed by the wife of the Ttev. _v-cßr.de, Wealeyan Minister of Kineton. She says : ' About six years ago I was taken very ill, and was confined to my bed for several months, being attended by the doctor who resided here at that time, whom I believe to be a very clever and skilled physican, and most certainly a very careful and attentive one. After doing all he could for me, he gave me no hopes whatever of my recovery, and stated that I was suffering from diseased kidneys; the liver, he said, was also in a very bad state, the action of the heart very weak, and the blood very thick and poor. My legs were swollen to an enormous size. Having heard about Warner's Safe Cure, I determined to try it. I bought one bottle at a time, and I found it was doing me good, so I continued taking it, and after taking several bottles was able to get out of bed. Still continuing the medicine, I soon became strong and able to get about as well as ever. This I consider a wonderful cure, as my age is now seventy six years, and I have not had the least symptoms of the old complaint since I left off taking the medicine, which wassix years ago. I informed the doctor that I was using Warner's Safe Cure, and he recommended me to continue, as he candidly said it was a very good mcd.cine. 5

Holloway's P.lls and Ointment.—The combined ill effects of over-crowding, seden tary occupations and monotony of life are only too well known to those who have to pass the best part of their lives laboring in factories and crowded workrooms. The compulsory confinement weakens the general health and induces chronic constipation, indigestion, and various forms of skin dis eases, Holloway's remedies are of priceless value to persons of this class, for they can be used without entailing lpssof work, being purely vegetable in their composition, and consequently act without harshness on the most delicate system.
