3 THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1895-TWELVE PAGES aaeaeae——aaaeaeaa——————— LATE NEWS BY WIRE Organization of Non-Partisan Silver Clabs. SENATOR TELLER TAKING THE LEAD Senator. Mitchell on the Political Outlook. a NEW PARTY PROSPECTS Sa DENVER, ‘Col., April 19.—Gcev. McIntyre and Scri.or Teller are leaders in a move- ment already started to push the organiza- tion °f ron-partisan silver clubs in the west, ‘n accordance with Gen. Warner's suggestion. Senator Teller expressed the belief that the republican national conven- ticn would nominate a man who would ad- vocate a single gold standard. He said that the single standard men were organizing, no-matter whether they had formerly been republicans or democrats, and they would act in harmony in the future. He advised the organization and concentration of sil- ver forces without delay. NEW YORK, Aprii 19.—Senator John H. Mitchell of Oregon is at the Marlborough Hotel. He said last night: “I am afraid the democratic party will make concessions to the silver men in the platform adopted at the next national convention. If it does, despite all past mistakes, it will sweep the country. If nelther party gives silver the recognition it deserves a new party will spring up that will sweep the country like wildfire.” Senator Mitchell, in commenting on the silver convention in Denver, said: “I do not think that much good will come of that gathering. It is almost impossible to build up a party upon one issue, whether it is silver or tariff. 2 “It was done upon slavery, but that was another question. I prefer to wait and what the old parties will do. If the repub- lican party does not coincide with me, I prefer to do my share to educate it instead of breaking away from it. I think one re- sult of this Denver convention will be to make the republican party realize fully the gravity of the situation, and may lead to its adopting a more liberal policy toward silver at the next republican national con- vention.” oo THE SWITCH WAS OPEN. Accident to a Passenger Train at Dayton, Ohio DAYTON, Ohio, Apzil 19.—An incoming Passenger train on the Ironton branch of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton rail- road ran into an open switch this morning in the city yards. The engine was turned cver and the baggage car smashed. En- gineer Harry Kline stuck to his post, and escaped without severe injuries, while Fire- n William Smith jumped and was badly, perhaps fatally, hurt internally. The pas- sengers were shaken up and frightened, but not injured. es HOUSES BURNED. SIXTY Loss by Five at Ardmore, I. T., Will Aggregate %600,000. ARDMORE, I. T., April 19.—The main business portion of Ardmore for six blocks on Caddo street north and south of Main street were destroyed by fire about 3 o'clock this morning. Sixty business houses were entirely destroyed. The loss will ag- Bregate 360,000. The United States court and jail were also destroyed. The prisoners Were transferred to the Baptist Church, where they are now under guard. The heat was so intense that the vault and safe in the court house were cracked, and the court records partly destroyed. The Masonic Temple was also burned. Families are camping in the streets. A | Mr. Neil was so badly burned in the face, herds, neck and breast that he cannot re- cover. SS Inquest on the Church Murders, SAN FRANCISCO, April 19.—The coro- rer’s jury concluded its investigation today in the case of Theodore Durant, the al- leged murderer of Mamie Williams and Blanche Lamont in Emanuel Church. The jury retired for deliberation about 11 o'clock. — Sherif Dangerously Shot. KINGWOOD, W. Va., April 19.—Sheriff Hawes was dangerously shot while arrest- ing four Pennsylvania horse thieves near here at midnight. The thieves were jailed. es Mr. Jones’ Answer. Thomas L, Jones, against whom a Dill in equity was filed a few days ago by Mrs. Louisa Fry, in which it is claimed that he had taken advantage of his position as her attorney and bought her residence, 1820 Vermont avenue northwest, for himself at public sale, filed his answer to the charges today. He says in his answer that com- plainant never sought any legal advice of him in relation to the preperty and denies that he ever was her attorney. The bill shows that the property was sold ai public auction to the Purchase Company for $1,300 and a month thereafter it was bought’ by Mr. Jones for $1,600, and he never received any of this amount from Mrs. Fry. ee Bul ing Permits. Building permits were issued today as follows: Thomas J. King, to erect ten brick dwellings at (0-616 10th street and wi8 F street northwest, to cost $18,000; William Yost & Brother, to erect three two- ‘story brick dwellings’ at 311, 6th street” south William square 14, to to erect two and 927 The Benning Shooting. Anderson Franklin, the colored man who is in jail on a charge of having shot Ed- ward Scott in rear of All Saints’ urch ning Tuesday night, still insists that he did not do the shooting, and if s' ate. ments le concerning his movements that night are to be believed he may be able to prove an alibi. It is certain that the only proof against him is purely cir- cumstantial, and that relates to the trou- ble he had with Scott earlier in the day and the statements he made after Scott fired the thr hots at him. The rumor circulated yesterday to the effect that d shot hims f was started by the statements of some unknown colored men that Scott had threatened he would com- mit suicide. But this rumor, it appears, has no foundatio: ptt. mentioned to who went to s aid the name of nklin as the man who shot ued to nim he ma¢ r, “I shot and added, “If you wait tll I get 1 Vl show you who shot me.” Scott is very low today. a Artists tertained.

HIS LIFE AT STAKE —_ Arguments Today in the Taylor Murder Trial. Two THEORIES OF DEFENSE Case Will Probably Reach Jury Before Night. CLOSING ARGUMENTS Seated beside his sister and aunt in the presence of a crowded court room, in which several women appeared, Thomas J. Tay- lor, the alleged murderer of his wife, Nan- nie-W., on the 1th of last September, to- day listened to the arguments of counsel for the government for conviction and of his own fer a verdict of not guilty. Just outside the coart room, across the corridor, the three-year-old daughter of Taylor play- ed in all innocence, happ!ly ignorant of the ordeal through which her wretched father was passing. Taylor appeared today to be unusually nervous, and his tightly clasped hands shook as he iistened to his terrible arraignment by the counsel for the gov- ernment. The court met at 9:30 this morning. The instructions to the jury asked by Messrs. 5. G. Niles, counsel for r were, that if the jury be- lieved the defendant was at the time of the shooting incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, or that he accidentally shot his wife while endeavoring to kill himself, a verdict of not guilty should be returned. Mr. Jeffords’ Address. The instructions disposed of, Assistant District Attorney Tracey L. Jeffords ad- dressed the jury on behalf of the govern- ment, the understanding being that each side should have three hours. Either defense of accident or insanity, said Mr. Jeffords, was as lame as it was inconsistent with the facts ip the case as brought out by the evidence.’ That Taylor deliberately, knowingly murdered his wife, argued Mr. Jeffords, was so apparent, so clear, that it was hardly necessary to ar- gue the matter. In the first place, said Mr. Jeffords, there was a motive for the crime, Taylor ‘being wrongly suspicious of his wife. He had often before treated the poor woman cruelly, and although the wife had a moment before’she was shot called upon heaven to witness her innocence Tay- lor shot her down deliberately and in cold blood. That he was capable at the time of knowing that he had done wrong, said Mr. Jeffords, was proven by the fact that the man took the dying woman in his arms and begged her forgiveness. There could be, said Mr. Jeffords, in conclusion, but one verdict—that of guilty as indicted—and in returning such a verdict he called upon the jury to recall the last words of the dying wife: ‘Before God in heaven, I am inno- cent.” - For the Defense. Mr. Jeffords was followed by Mr. E. G. Niles on behalf of the defendant. The gov- ernment, he said, claimed that the pistol of the defendant was, at the time of the shooting, and is now, in perfect order. Taking his watch out and handing the pistol to a juryman, Mr. Niles requested him to fire it twice. At the first attempt the hammer fell, but the juryman had con- siderable difficulty in firing the second time. That, said Mr. Niles, showed that but one shot was fired by Taylor, and that the ball which wounded the defendant glanced from his body into that of the wife. Murder, exclaimed M-:. Niles, was Killing with malice, but was there, he asked, any malice in the defendant's heart as he knelt beside the dying woman and prayed God to forgive her? Certainly not, said Mr. Niles, and he was assured that the jury would so agree with him. Mr. Niles described the condition of Tay- lor’s mind as he came home on the morning of the shooting, and discovered, as he be- lieved, evidences of his wife’s infidelity. Mr. ‘Niles spoke for about an hour, and he was followed at 11:32 by Mr. O. D. Bar- rett, also on behult of the’prisoner. The Sanity Question. Mr. Barrett dwelt at great length upon what he claimed was at least a grave doubt as to the sanity of Taylor. Taylor was entitled to such a doubt, and if it existed he should be acquitted, declar- ed Mr. Barrett. And if, said Mr. Barrett, the jury believed that Taylor shot his wife while endeavoring to kill himself he could only be convicted of manslaughter, al- though suicide is not a crime in the Dis- trict. Mr. Birney’s Argument. Mr. Barrett closed at 2:15, when District Attorney Birney began the closing argu- ment in the case. He commenced by ex- plaining to the jury that the question for them to decide was whether a wife could be slaughtered in cold blood by a cruel husband, and then the murderer go un- punished simply on his own say-so, when the dead woman’s mouth is closed forever | against him. The question was, can wife slayers go unpunished here on the slim, ab- surd pretext of mcmentary or emotional insanity? There is no such a thing in medl- cal or other law, declared Mr. Birney, az enictional or momentary insanity, and he urged the jury to so declare by a prompt verdict of guilty of murder. ———+ — Tomorrow's Alexander Island Entries First race, five-eighths mile, selling—Pil- grim, 106; Psyche, Fan Swing, 106; Reynard, 104; My Gyps, 104; Fagot, 104; Pathway, 104;- Torraine, 104; Peter Jack- +, 104; Brighteyes, 101; De- 101; Dutch Lady, 91; son, 104; Devis troit, 101; Fassett, a quarter furlongs, selling—Etiza Jim M aughlin, Venusburg, Wang, Maggie timp.)’ Bones, 115;' Ontario, Lento, 115; mp.)

'FINANCE AND TRADE High Prices in London Affect Stocks in Wall Street. ADVANCESEXPECTED DURING THE WEEK Grangers Are Fairly Active and Higher. ERAL MARKET REPORTS —— oe GEN: Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, April 19.—Prices were uni- formly higher at the opening of today’s stock market in sympathy with advazces in London varying from 1-8 to 5-8 per cent. Realizing sales were conspicuous through- out the morning, but the sentiment of the street was not affected thereby. Profit-tak- ing at the close of the week is not unusual and in the present instance is likely to be productive of good results if surface con- ditions are not misleading. The udvance is expected to continue during the coming week and something more than board room support is promised. The public is fa- miliar with the discouraging side of the situation, but is daily gaining confidence in future prosperity which will reward the present purchase of meritorious shares. The grangers were fairly active and higher, St. Paul leading on purchases for both local and European account. Man- hattan was sold down moderately, as the natural consequence of its recent sharp advance, profit taking by traders being responsible for the movement. Covering operations in Baltimore and Ohio added 2 per cent to the first recorded price, and fur- ther buying by the pool in New England forced the price of that stock up 1 per cent to the highest point thus far touched. There is no abatement of the mystery at- tending the movement in the last-named security. Tennessee Coal and Iron reacted moderately for no significant reason, and elsewhere a restricted volume of business prevented any impertant changes either way. In the industrial list Sugar was the fea- j ture, opening strong at 107 and declining rapidly during the first hour to 105 1-4. ‘The sudden decline was due to profit taking, and the successful uncovering of stop or- ders. The volume of business at the de- cline was large, and the bulk of the early loss was regained during the noon hour. Those responsible for the recent advance are quoted as seeing no reason for chang- ing previously expressed views on the prob abilities of much higher prices in the near future. ‘i The market for sterling and continental Yills was steady to firm on a small volume of business. Bankers were disposed to hold rates a trifle more firm for cable transfers, and some drawingg against provisions were negotiated during the morning. General conditions, however, remain un- changed. The weekly statement of the clearing house banks reflects a gain to the banks through subtreasury operations of upward of $2,500,000 and a probable gain of $2,000,- 000 from the interior currency :novement. This accumulation of money at this center is not desirable at this season of the year, when the demand for money should be brisk in all parts of the country, particu- larly in the manufacturing and agricultural districts. ‘The trading of the last hour was irregular and in the main professional. The be- lievers in higher prices, who are unques- tionably in the majority, predict that the profits realized by traders today will be employed to buy back the same securities at higher prices next week. Tomorrow's short session may be devoted to the evening up process also, but the de- cline will not run far under prevailing con- ditions. ns FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
