Mr, Kennedy, Sophie’s senior coun- sel, spent a greater portion of the aft- ernoon in endeavoring to place in evi- dence the fact that Sophie was not strong enough to have pulled the trig- | ger of the revolver which it is alleged was used in the killing of the dead man. John D. Bassett of New Haven was on the swnd, having Qualified as a gun expert, and he was asked by Mr. Kennedy if in his opini)n a man, or woman, or girl could fire the revolver in rapld succession. Both the prose- cutlon and counsel for Mitchell ob- jected. Mr. Kennedy explained to the court that ft was his purpose to soow | to the jury that Sophie did mot have | strength enough in her hands to pull the trigger of the revolver in question, This, he sald, had been demonstrated by Sophle in Mr. Bassett's presence in Waterbury.

IS TO LEAVE SOUTH shrdluetaomf Evening orders—Several Persons ‘Wounded by Bullets Fired by Strik breakers. Philadelphia, March 8.--Six persons, including a voung girl were wounded tonight by bullets fired by a party of alleged strikebreakers who rode wildly up and down Frankford avenue in a trolley car and shot into the crowds that lined the sidewalis. After one of the most uneventful days since the beginming of the striks the stoning of cars was renewed to- night along Frankford -avenue, the principal thoroughfare in the mill dis- trict in the northeast. A stone thrown bv one of the crowd injured a strikebreakine motorman. Infuriated at this, a crowd of about fifteen of his comrades took out a car, all the windows of which they®broke With thelr clubs. As the car loaded with armed strike- treakers sped down Frankford avenue, bullets were ralned at the jeering crowds. Policeman Bragg, who was standing on the sidewalk, recelved a bullet in his helmet about an {nch above his head. Helen May, 14 vears old, was struck in the leg by a bullet. John Maloney, 18 years old, and Michael Osborn, 24, were also shot In the legs, and Frank Bromiley, 23, recelved a bullet in his foot. These wounded were removed to the Frankford hospital. Two other in- jured were taken to their homes. After reaching Allegheny avenue, the car was switched to the northbound track by its crew and the dash back to the barn began. So swiftly was it driven that before the crowd realized that it was coming back it had sped past them and into the barn again. The shooting of inoffensive bystand- ers worked the crowd to a hizh pitch of excitement and as other cars came down the street the mob wrecked them, in several instances leaving only the trucks on the rails. About a doz- en arrests were made. There were a few minor outbreaks in the downtown district Jate tonight. THE ADMINISTRATION ANTI-INJUNCTION BILL. President Importance of the islation.

In his letter to Mr. Moon the president say! “My Dear Mr. Moon:— “I have vour letter of March 8 in ve- spect to the provislons of the bill in- troduced by you granting restrafning orders and injunctions by the federal courts.

TnREATEN TO STRIKE TODAY IN SYMPATHY WITH OTHERS. Complete Tioup of Paper Making In- dustries in New York State Feared. Glens Falls, N. Y. March s.—Em- ployes in the Glens Falls mills of the International Paper company threaten to walk out tomorrow in sympathy with six hundred men mow on strike in Corinth. - At a mass meeting tonight, the men, four hundred in all, unanimously vot- ed to strike at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, unless the demands of the union are granted at Corinth, where the employes walked out, Sunday aft ernoon. . Within another 48 hours, ac- cording to union officers, the Fort Ed- ward mills of -the company will also be_idle. President Malin of the International Brotherhood of Sulphide and Paper Mill Workers, who I8 in_charge of the Glens Falls and rort Edward districts, issued oNyers tonight tH&t there shall be no demonstrations of any kind when the men walk out of the local mills tomorrow afternoon. If the strike persists, it is feared that the paper industry in this state is about to experlence a tieup more se- vere than that at 1908. At that time only the paper makers were out, while the present difficuity bids fair to call from the mills every umion emplove, regardless of the nature of his work. Such action has already been taken at Corinth. J. T. Carey, president of the Inter- national Brotherhood of Paper Malkers, who is in charge of the situation at Corinth, said tonight: “It is cer- tain that unless the International Pa- per company complies with out de- mands, a general strike of union men employed by this company in its many mills will be declared. These men will not be ordered out simultaneously. We shall call them out gradually, until every mill owned by the International Paper company is idle” After the attempt at dynamiting a trainload of strikebreakers in Corinth late last night and the burning of a trestle in that village early this morn- ing. no disturbances occurred in Cor- inth today. The sheriff and fiffeen deputies are guarding the company’s nlant and a dozen special policemen have been pressed into service. WILBUR WRIGHT AT NEWPORT.
