October 13.--The usual mad rush for Judge Tuthill’s court room followed immediately after the doors of the court building were opened today nearly two hours people stood in line wait- ing to be aimitted to the room. Hundreds were turned away when the court room be- came filled. Attorney Phalen opened the argument to the jury on behalf of the defense. He will be followed by ex-Judge Vincent, who will close the case for Luetgert in a speech jasting nearly two days. “If this case had been submitted to the jury when the state closed its evidence, I verily believe a verdict of not guilty would have resulted at once,” declared Attorney Phalen. “The evidence of the prosecution came trom intimidated witnesses, who per- jured themselves,” he asserted, with em- phasi “These witnesses were brow-beat- en by the police and drilled in what they were to swear to. They came into this court to swear away the life of an inno- cent man. During the progress of this trial we had a good illustration of the perjury in this case, when Emma Schimpke, after giving her evidence, ieft the stand and ad- mitted to her friends that she had deliber- ately lied. Police Persecution. “Police persecution and intimidation per- colates throughout the entire case. The case fairly drips with the vile rottenness ef police metheds. The chain of circum- stances about which Mr. McEwen has said so muc is composed of distorted and fragmentary bits ef perjured evidence, so NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 13.—The twenty-first annual meeting of the Ameri- can Humane Society began at Elkins Hall teday. There was a good attendance, and by Rev. W. T. Haggard on beh2If of the elty and by Rev. J. B. Hawthorne on the part of the state. Dr. Hawthorne, im clos- ins remarks, raid: “The state of Ten- nessee has nothing too good for men and women who come to her inspired by such feelings as possess your hearts and who are engaged in such a movement as that to which you have consecrated your lives.’ President Shortall responded to the ad- dress of welcome. At the conclusion of the response Mr. Shortall recommended that the papers read at the meeting of the association held in Chicago during the world’s fair be published, and also called at- tention to the doration of Charles and Anna Brown of Quincy, IL, who gave $20,000, which was distributed among s0- cieties in various states. The annual report of the secretary, Rev. Francis H. Rowley of Fall River, Mass., was read. He reviewed the work done by the society during the past twelve months, which showed very gratifying progress. In that period. 61,546 children and 154,171 animals had been looked after, and 9,267 prosecutions made. More than 74,000 cases hed been investigated. The report of the treasurer, E. Parmalee of Cleveland, Ohio, was also presented, and both reports were adepted. Mrs. Lily Lord Tifft of Buf- felo, N. Y., read a paper on “Animals in Transit and Their Abuse.” The society then adjourned until 2 p.m., when papers were read and reports of com- mittees read. The scciety will be in session three days. ———————— SEVEN NEW CASES, FIVE DEATHS. Yellow Fever Record at New Orleans —Better at Edwards. Other Officers Chosen and Dele- gates to Other Bodies. The W. C. T. U. convention in session at the Vermont Avenue Christian Church got down to work at 9:30 o’clock this morn- ing, under much more favorable auspices than yesterday morning. The delegates looked cheerful and started in enthusias- licaily on the labors of the day. The bright sun came in at the front door and lit up the faces of those present, while the hymn, “Some Glad Day,” which was given out by the president, Mrs. Margaret B. Platt, was sung with fervor and had such an inspiring effect on the convention members that the opening verse was re- peated by direction of the presiding of- ficer. The president made a few remarks, after which a most earnest prayer was offered by Mrs. M. E. Cohen, vice-president-at- large of the District Union, in thé absence of Mrs. Bliss, who was to have conducted the devotions. The minutes of the preceding day's ses- sion were read by the recording secretary, Mrs. Emma F. Shelton, when the business werk proper of the convention was begun. This was of a most important nature, as it included the election of officers and dele- gates to the national convention. The re- pert of the committee on the revision of the constitution was aiso made. There was @ much better attendaace than yesterday. Departmental Reports. Reports of a number of different depart- ments were read, including narcotics and purity. Mrs. Elizabeth C. Catching is su- Perintendent of the former, and.Mrs. Alice Chapman of the other.

He has no idea of remaining in that position per- manently. He intends to return to Vir- ginia ‘and resume the quiet work he has Inaugurated to succeed United States Sen- ator Martin. Gen. Lee is already a candidate for the Senate, and his intimate friends know it. He has no idea of antagonizing Senator Daniel this year, and is out after the scalp of Senator Martin. The impression that Gen. Lee has been taking no hand in Vir- ginia politics is dispeHed by the best in- formation. Since his return from Havana he has been taking a, hand,.and his friends Rave also been doing so. They have formed an organization, and it has been at work for several weeks. It will continue to work until Gen. Lee has been elected or defeated. ‘The state senators to be elected this year will hold over for the legislature, which will elect a successor to Senator Martin. The organization back of Gen. Lee has been at work in all the counties where democratic nominees for the senate were put up, and it is said with positiveness that a number of these senators are stanch friends of Gen. Lee. The followers of General Lee have been shrewd enough to recognize that twenty hold-over senators will count strongly in a race for the Senate, and they have been quietly at work to get what they can out of the situation. General Lee has worked quietly, offending nobody and not taking sides in the controversy raging between Virginia democrats. He has shown himseif a shrewd politician, and it is asserted that Road to-Be in Operation by Christ- = mas, It is Hoped. Instead of the bullding committee which is in charge of the installation of the new motive power on the Capital Traction railroad being in session as usual this morning at the offices of the company, <he board of directors held the floor, or rather, occupied the room, where the committee Usually sits. In additicn to this two mem- bers of the building committee, Messrs. Dunlop and Hurt, are members of the board of directors, and for this reason alone a meeting of the building committee could not have been held at the same time, unless Mr. Phillips, the remaining member of the committee, had chosen to meet and organize himself, which, of course, he had no intention of doing. Instead of that Mr. Phillips waited until the board of directors had adjourned, and then the building committee convened. It was the first meeting of the directory of the road since the power house was de- stroyed by fire, and it was also the regular monthly meeting. All the members were present, with the exception of Mr. John R. McLean, who is not in the city. Those present were Henry Hurt, John G. Parke, £. J. Stellwagen, G. T. Dunlop, Charles C. Glover and William Manice. The latter, it will be remembered, is the representative of the New York stockholders. Passed Upon Contracts, According to the statement of Presi- dent Dunlop, who was seen by a Star re- porter at the close of the mecting, the board did nothing but pass upon the con- tracts which had been made by the build- ing committee for furnishing supplies to Lucy Bacon Newell, an attractive and well-dressed woman, was placed on trial before Judge Bradley in Criminal Court No. 2 today, charged with writing and fendant’s) former husband, Charles New- ell, Mr. and Mrs. Newell having been di- vorced in January, 1896. In explaining the case to the jury Dis- trict Attorney Davis read the indictment, which set forth in full the alleged libelous letter, while Messrs. J. C. Taylor and Wm. Preston Williamson, on behalf of Mrs. Newell, stated that they would show by the testimony of witnesses that Mrs. New- ell never wrote the letter. Then counsel for the accused woman charged that her accusation was but part of a scheme of her former husband and Mrs. Roberts, who was dismissed from the pensicn office last May, to send her to prison. They also said they would prove in the course of the trial that Mr. Newell had placed his wife in @ Philadelphia insane asylum, and while she was incarcerated therein had obtained a divorce from her here, a finding she was tow endeavoring to have set aside, so far as her property rights are concerned. Hattie Stewart's Testimony. As his first witness, Mr. Davis called Mrs. Roberts, who identified the com- pjained-of letter as one her servant, Hat- tle Stewart, colored, handed to her the 17th of last June. The servant testified that Fred Gordon, a colored man, handed it to her at the door, but when Gordon was called to the stand he stated that while Mrs. Newell handed him an inclosed letter to leave at Mrs. Roberts’ house on the day in question, he could not swear that the letter exhibited in court was the same one. Mr. Davis then called Mr. Newell to iden- tify the letter. Witness said the address 2 the envelope was unquestionably in Mrs. Newell's handwriting. He could not swear as to the body of the letter being in her Outside Buyers, for Various Reasons, Are Holding Aloof. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star, 'W YORK, October 13.—Today’ took market reflected the execution of the same design noted yesterday, but the results were more pronounced by reason of an in- creased volume of business. Opening prices were uniformly higher in sympathy with London and some covering followed in con- seqvence. At the advance the desire to Sell again became conspicuous and traders offered prices Gown at every opportunity. Stop loss orders were uncovered, some loans were called and support was wholly lacking. Prices broke sharply in all parts of the st, and weakness more pronounced than ever followed. Little preference was shown for any particular group of stocks, good and bad being alike conspicuous in the midday confusion. The declines varied from 1 to 3 per cent and reflected a net reces- sion from the culminating point of The summer's advance of about 10 per cent. This latter average was particularly ap- plicable to the granger shares at the low- est points of the morning. The incentive to these sales was sup- plied to a considerable extent by local p tics. The mayoralty contest ts being urged in all quarters as a miniature duplication of the graver aspects of last November's campaign. While this excuse may be as good as another, the real cause of the last fortnight’s weakness is founded on speculative conditions imprudently fostered by over enthusiasm.
