Opelousas, La., Oct. 30.—In the lit- tle clé red-Lrick courthouse in St. Lan- dry parish, crowded as it never has been before, Mrs. Zee Runge McRee, member of cne of the oldest families and told why she killed Allan Garland, | 2 young member of a family as prom- inent as her own. Got Pistol After Insult. She said she shot “to protect her honor.” bur her only explanation of why-cach bullet took effect in the Tu- lane student’s back was that she was so excited she did not know whether or not Garland turned te flee as she shot. Showing the effects of the strain of seven davs of trial, she said, excit- edly, she got her pistol when Garland insulted her, and fired when he ad- vanced on her, saying, “You cannot scare me.” Her_ testimony was com- pleted after six hours on the stand. Denied Undue Friendship. Mrs. McRee denied ahsolutely any undue friendship between herself and Garland and explained the circum- stances under which he spent three or four nights at her home. She ad- mitted Garland and they were often together, but added that her children ‘were always with them. She was ask- ed if she thought Garland intended to attack her'in her home at ten o'clock in the morning with all the doors open and with her children and two servants in the yard. She replied that she did not know what Garland might do, be- cause he had said he was not afraid of her and was advancing towsrd her.

I shot him to defend.my honor.” she aid emphaticaily. Why Garland Stayed at Her Home. “Why did Allen come to your home and spend fhree nights?” “His uncle was visiting the Gar- lands and Alian had some trouble with a young lady and he ordered Allan out of the house, Allan asked me if I wouldn't let him come to my house and stay for the next few vights. I didn't want to do anything that would cause -friction between the two fam- ilies, so I went to Mrs. Garland and asked her iwhether there would be any objection to Allan’s staying there until his uncle went home. She said no and that was why Allan stayed at my house.” Fleshier and Bigger Than After admitting she was a sood shot and that she and Garland had been shooting at targets together, she was asked by Attorney Veasey for ihe prosecution: “Aren’t you stronger than Ajlan and didn't you say this morning that you were?” “I said 1 was fleshier and bigger, but 1 don't know what is the strength of a man as compared to that of a wo- man,” Mrs. McRee replied. Would Not Get Into First Fight. “New, 1l me, couldn’t you have picked this boy up by the arms and pushed him out of the house?” “I might have if I had that muc] time, Mr. Veasey.

FOR PRESIDENTIAL REVIEW Ton and a Half of Powder to Be Ex- ploded in Salutes on Two Days— Dreadnought Florida Greeted- New . York, Oct. 30.—With search- Iights incessantly flashing and huils and rigging outlined in myriads of in- candescent lights, the vessels of the great ‘fleet assembled here for presi- dential review presented a picture of marvelous pesuty today. The Hudson river, where the warships lie in ‘triple column, stretching out nearly - two- thirds of the length of Manhaitan Isl- and. was illuminated as never before by night. Outdid Display of Two Years Ago. People flocked 'to the riverfront by the hundreds of thousands to witness the spectacle, which outdid in bril- liancy even the great display when home and foreign fleets. were here dur- ing the Hudson-Fulton celebration two vears ago. S The Florida Last to Arrive. The battleship line was extended to its full length today when the last of the sea fighters assigned to take part in the review—the dreadnousht Florida —steamed slowly from her berth at the Brooklyn ‘navy yard on her first triv under her own ‘steam and joined the armada in the river. Crashing salutes from the ships in the line greeted her as she steamed up stream and the whistles of hundreds of small ecraft from which she was recognized as the cutmination of strength and effective- ness in American naval construction vociferously greeted her. The big ship 10omed high above the smaller fight- ers, for there was only one, the Utah, to compare with Ler. Ton and Half of Powder in Two Days. Powder magazines were checked up- on the vessels of the fleet todav for there is to be a deal of saluting by them during the next three davs. It was calculated that nearly a ton and a half of powder will be exploded on Wednesday and Thursday, the days of the secretarial inspection and presi- dential review. Hundreds of Visitors. Hundreds of visitors again boarded the ships of the fleet today and there | will be another opportunity tomorrow for inspection of the war craft, as the vhole programme has been moved for- ward a day. Shore leaves for the men are expiring and boats from the fieet were busy late today conveying back Dluejackets who had overstayed their time.
