TESTIMONY FOR THE GOVERNMENT Bertha Crown the Only Eyewit- ness of the Tragedy. PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY es When the trial of Charles L. McUin for the alleged murder of Robert E. Turner was resumed before Justice Clabaugh in Criminal Court No. 1 this morning Miss Bertha Crown, the first witness yesterday for the prosecution, and only eyewitness of the tragedy, was again called to the stand to identify a photograph of the scene of the killing. The court room was crowded. The de- fendant is represented by Mr. Tracy L. Jef- fords and Representative James D. Richard- son of Tennessee. The government's case is being conducted by Gen. Thomas H. An- derson, United States district attorney, and Mr. Ashley M. Gould, assistant United States district attorney. Scott E. Grant, who resides at 101 11th street northeast, where Miss Crown also lives, on the premises in front of which the tragedy occurred, the next witness. He was In his room upstairs the evening of the homicide, and heard Bertha Crown call: “Mr. Grant, Mr. Grant, come here! Mr. McUin has knocked Mr. Turner in the head!" “I rushed out,” said the witness, “and saw Turner lying upon the ground, McUin was bending over him, with hand raised, like this (indicating). I took hold of MecUin and pushed him away. Then, with the help of another man, I took Turner into the house, with McUin following.” “What was the condition of Turner as to consciousness when you reached him?” asked Gen. Anderson. “I went to help Turner, and he took hold of my leg. I said, ‘Turner, this is Grant, and I want to help you.’ He then released “Did he speak or show any other signs of consciousness?” “No, sir. The witness said Turner was groaning and breathing hard. He saw the stab wounds in the head. “How was Turner dressed?” “He had on his heavy motorman's over- coat and uniform cap. A heavy woolen glove was on his right han “How was McUin dressed “He had on a light overcoat.” The witness then identified the knife with which the killing is alleged to have been dene as McUin's, and also the cap worn by Turner and plerced by a knife blade. Mr. Grant testified as to McUin's statements of » for Bertha Crown and his jeal- id he heard McUin and Bertha . They went out a great deal, to the theater. d some kind of falling out, and McUin said he wanted to make up. He said he had loved a girl in Tennessee and a fellow, whom he cailed a vile name, had come between them. I told him to go ahead and attend to his business-and pretend not to care and that Bertha, if she cared any- thing for him, would want to make up her- self. No, he wouldn't have {t that way; he leved her too much,” Witness Cross-Examined. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Jeffords. He did not s2e the knife in Mc- Uin's hands; in fact, he did not see it until at the coroner's inquest, with the exception of once some time before the trag when he borrowed {t. “When Met a policemay, did n run Mr. Jeffords. », sir.

She was the only eyewitness to the alleged murder. A slight girl, quite attractive in appear- ance, she told a concise, complete story of the tragedy, and was not the least bit worried by the searching cross-examination he was subjecied to by Mr. Jeffords. Miss n dressed in deep black, her father having recently died. Miss Crown said she had known the accused, McUin, and Turner, who was killed. Her step mother boarded a number of the employes of the Metropolitan railroad. McUin was a conductor and Turner a motorman in the employ of the company. She carried lun es to the men on their care. Last summer, Miss Crown said, McUin proposed marriage to her, but she refused, saying sHe was too ung to think of such a thing. He grew violently jealous of her then, and ordered her not to speak to other man. When she did so ft made angry. Here Mr. Jeffords objected to Phe line of testimony, but he was overruled by the court. Miss Crown ‘said she had met Turner through carrying lunches to the cars.

These investigators know that “WHAT DOES IT MEAN?’ is not simply a question of a name or a suburb—they now see its larger significance—what it is bound to mean AND TO SECURE to every one of you who takes advantage of the multitude of opportunities it offers you—that it means the first steps to a home of your own—and an actual cash gift of $100 to $300 toward the cost of your house —and two years’ car fares free—and all improvements free—and protection at every point; protection from undesirable neighbors, from forfeiture in case of sickness or loss of employment, from losing all or ANYTHING you've paid in, should you die before payments are completed—your family receiving deed without further cost. Also that it means a start toward independence by a safe, sure and profitable investment—a far better way of saving than the savings banks afford—a two-dollar return for every dollar “deposited”—the greatest present value for the smallest outlay ever known in Wash- ington (prevailing prices cut in half!) and the absolute certainty of substantial increase within five years’ time. “And all for $1 to $1.25 a week, without interest, taxes, notes or mortgages—$go to $140 (with only $2 first payment) buying as beautiful and every way desir- able a lot as-you could ask for or find anywhere.

December 28 last, the day of the homl- cide, McUin camo to her house about 1 o'clock. Witness declared the defendant had been “drinking, and some of the board- ers took him upstairs and placed him in a bed. She did not speak to him. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon he came down. The evening of the same day, when she went to take a lunch to a car, she met Turner, and expressed to him a fear of McUin, who a few moments before had passed them. Turner then accompanied her to her home, and while she went in to get two additional lunch baskets Turner wait- ed without. “When I came out of the house,” con- tinued Miss Crown, “McUin was thore, and, ccming upon the porch, knocked one of the baskets from my hand. I picked it up and went out upon the sidewalk where Mr. Turner was standing. Mr. McUin followed, and coming up to Mr. Turner said to him: “What are you doing here? He took hold of Mr. Turner. I told Mr. McUin he had better go away and leave Mr. Turner alone. Mr. Turner then said: ‘Well, Bertha, I've got to go now.’” As Turner turned to leave, she said, he Was struck twice by McUin on the head and fell to the ground. . McUin then jumped upon him. She screamed for help, and not thinking Turner. was seriously hurt, went on to the railroad tracks and delivered lunches to the boarders. Returning to the house she found Turner had been stabbed in the head and was unconscious. At the conclusion of the girl's testimony the court adjourned until this morning. —— Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued as fol- lows: White—Thomas M.

American Products Kept Out by the Spanish Rates Maintained in Force. The War Department has taken up the question of reducing the tariff on American canned goods, preserves, etc., going to the Philippines. The matter was brought to the attention of the department by Repre- sentative Needham of California, who rep- resents one of the great fruit districts. He pointed out that American canned goods, tematoes, peaches, apricots, etc., were prac- tically barred from the Philippines because of the military regulations continuing the old Spanish prohibitory rates against these gcods. As the Pacific coast offered special- ly favorable shipping facilities for such goods, Mr. Needham urged that the rates be reduced to a point permitting American canned goods to find a market in the archi- pelago. i He has received a letter from Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, who has charge cf the customs branch, saying the matter has been taken up for careful consideration, with a view to determining whether a re duction can be made, and Mr. Needham has reason to believe that his efforts will prove successful.
