E. D. Stokes, Jury t»ry - night. omogrow The trial of R show glris” was of in- erest 3 of the reappear- Soc of the peiited Miea Comeh or cross exsinination and the unexpected on the witness stand late in day of Stokes' young wife. There Wag sharp contrast in the appearance and demeancr of these witnesses in ail Tespects but age. Mrs. Stokes Young and Pretty. The Conrad girl has sworn her age is 19, and the millionaire’s bride looked scarcely older. Both are pretty. Miss Conrad is a brunette and was dressed all in black, while Mrs. Stokes is & tall, lithe bicnde, with Titian hued hair. The millioneire’s wife wore @ drown suit. Her lips trembled during the few minutes she was on the stand, but she faced the court with evident determination to do all she could to help her husband’s cause. Miss Con- rad, on the ciher hand, went through a long ordeal of questioning with vim and humor in her replies, often gig- gled and made the spectators in court ugh. The announcement late in the day that ' Mrs. Ellen Stokes would be the next witness for the state was a sur- prise to the defense and to tho spec- tators, few of whom knew the young | woman, since she has kept in the back- ground throughout the trial. Her ies- tmony was very brief. She said she married Stokes on February 11 last. She had lived at Stokes' hnotel for four or five months previous to that date, she testified. The main foature of her testimony was her contradic- tion of Miss Conrad’s declaration that the defendent met Stokes at the Ho- tel Ansonia on the morning of May 29. Mrs. Stokes said that her husband and she were away that morning. The bride was abruptly excused and minor witnesses were called, including Dr. Josiah H. Thornley, who testified that Stokes was too sick a man to appear in ‘court in his own behalf, “It Was His Life or Ours.” Ethel Conrad’s story of the shooting ‘of Stokes remained unshaken in any material polnt by the long cross exam- ination today. She quickly found an- &wers to the wvrosecuting attorney questions. She swore that Stckes sh twice without effect in the affair last June n the apartment which Miss Grabam and she shared and she in- sisted tnat she and Miss Graham fired ‘n self defense and wounded Stokes i the legs. It was “hig life or ours, she declared. When ked why she ¢id not tell the police of this charge that Stokes fired twice, she exclaimed that did not tell the police all she knew: because the police were “old tatile-tales, anyhow.” Miss Graham’s Sister to Testify. Mrs. Stella Singleton, sister of Lii- lion Graham, will probably be the last witness in the defense tomorrow, and the summing up will be made. Miss Graham testified that Mrs. Singleton | hel warned her that Stokes very déngerous man because she “heard he had murdered Al Adams, the policy king.” Mra, Singleton will be 2sked in court how she heard this report and if she knows anything more about it. Statement About Plattsburg Case. Miss Conrad’s attorney today gave out the statement she said she had was a btained in the summer of 1910 from the Plattsburg, N. Y., man who, she says, insulted her. The statement was ' signed ‘“Charles L. Miller,” and recited that althcugh he had seen the girl only once before he induced her to take an automobile ride. “She met me,” continues the state- ment, “with the intention of finding out ‘my identity, which she was un- | able to ascertain, as 1 was.in an auto attire. We stopped at Silver Creek Inn to enable me to purchase cigar- ettes for my own use. While there 1 had a drink; the young lady remained in the auto. At that time she dis- covered 'who I was, which satisfie her, and she asked to be taken home. which I did ng do, but drove to an- other place, Where 1 asked her to spend the night.

I am ashamed of myself for having caused a lot of untruthful zossip as to my relationship with Miss Conrad.

Most men do,” she added pen- v, as an after thought, Her Opinion of Stokes. In expressing her opinion of Stokes the girl become so vehement that | Justice Marcus warned her to remain | calm and Miss Conrad besged his par- |don. She said Lillian Graham had |30 or 40 or 50 or 100 letters” from Mr. Stokes. “Did |about > “On! one or two.

Compelied Miller to Write Truth. Robert Moore, her attorney, gues- tioned Miss «onrad about the Platis- incident. She told how she called on Miller and demanded catisfaction. “I took a pistol out of my bag,” she “and told him I wanted him a statement—the truth. He excited that he couldn’t write, lled his brother and dictated | the statement to him.” “Did you tell him what to write?” “No, sir. 1 omly told him to write the truth Locked Up in Plattsburg Jail.

MESSAGES OF DEATH. Rescued Miners Had Written Fare- well Messa: to Wives. Briceville, Tenn., Dec. 13.—Four of | the five men rescued alive from the Cross Mountain mine had written mes- sages, in the fear of death, to their families. They had but one little piece of the pencil, hardly an inch long and each took his turn with it. Milton Henderson wrote thus to his child- You have been a good little wife, but if I don’'t get to see you any more on this earth I have told you where I want to be buried at Pleasant Hill. Now, sweet- aeart, do as 1 tell you. Bye-bye.” Erwin Smith wrot “Dear Wife and Children: I don’t think we can get out. Me and Dore Irish is burned bad. Let the house o back. (He had just bought a house.) 'he company owes me $50. Take care of the children. You can make the company pay for my life. Arthur and Duff started through entry No. 15. T don't know whether they can get out or not. Good-bye to all.” In the double dinner pail carried by Smith was water and though he was burped and almost famished for drink he gave it all to Dore Irish, who was niove badly burned, and who needed water more than the others to mini- mize his sufferings. Smith, like young Henderson, gave his promise in re- sponse to the pleadings of his wife and ildren that he would forsake min- ing_and find other means of livelihood. Up to an early hour today 38 bodles had becn found. HEAVY PUNISHMENT FOR ENGLISH SPIES Found Guilty of Prying !nto Germany’s Naval Secrets. Leipsic, Germany, Dec, 13.—Heavy punishments were meted out today to the English spies arrested at Ham- burg on March 18, and who have be on trial behind closed doors before the imperial cburt for several days. Max Schulz, an English shipbroker, was sentenced to seven years' penal gervitude. Omne of his associates, an ergineer named Hipsich, was con- Gemned to 12 years in Jjail; another enzineer named Wolff was sent to jail for two years; a merchant named Von Haack and Max Schulz’s housekeeper each received three years. Max Schulz was acctsed of using his proféssior. of ship broker as a cover for corrupting shipyard workmen and getting them to betray German naval secrets. He was for a long time close- ly watched by detectives during his frequent trips between Hamburg and Eremen, at which ports ten German wurships wore at the time under con- struction. It is believed he succeeded in get- ting documents of value to those who employed him out of the country. He is regarded by the German naval au- thorities s a most dangerous spy con- nected with an institution whose activ- itles cover all the shipyards and arsenals of Burope. The judge in sentencing the accused said that their arrest had broken up a group of sples whose actlvities were dangerous in the highest sense to the safety of the empire. Hipsich partic- ularly, who had been twelve years em- ployed as an engineer in one of the principal naval shipyards, was able to collect designs and -information from wll the German yards. This he deliv- ered in January last to the agents of an English. information bureau, thus exposing Germany's most important military_secrets. Max Schulz, whose sweeping admis- sions had established the guilt of both himself and the others, had organized, according to the judgeé, a network of spies throughout Germany. These re- ported directly to the English informa- tion bureau. The severity of the sentences which have to be served in a_penitentiary, and not in a fortress, as is usually the case, jndicates how gravely these cises of espionage are regarded. It appears from the evidence that the ensineer, Hipsich, was probably the lowest salaried spy of importance on record. He was paid only $10 weekly, and received another $100 in advance to cover his expenses. The merchant, Von Mamack, accord- ing to the testimony, furnished docu- ments showing how the steamers of the Hamburg-American line and the Northh German Lloyd are to be used in the event of war, as well as data in reference to the Diesel motor,” which is now puilding for the navy at Nurem- berg. Wulfr, it was stated, dealt with the question of submarines, of which even the number buiit and bullding s a se- cret in Germany. He also provided in- formation coucerning the battleships under construction at Kiel. sT. PATflICK'S DAY A HOLY DAY IN IRELAND.

A man who visited Hancock one day at noon in June, 1782, describes him as Aressed in a red velvet cap lined with fine white linen, which was turned up two or three inches over the lower edge of the velvet; a biue damask gown lined with silk, a white silk stock, a white satin embroidered waistcoat, black satin small clothes, ‘white silk stockings and red morocco slippers. ‘Washington at his receptions in Philadelphia was dressed in black vel- vet. His hair was powdered and gath- ered behind in a large silk bag. His bands were incased in yellow gloves. He held a cocked hat with a cockade on it and its edges adorned with & black feather. He wore knee and shoe buckles, and at his left hip appeared a long sword in a polished white leather scabbard with a polished steel hilt. John Adams on the day of his inau- guration was dressed in a full suit of pear] colored broadcloth, and his hair was powdered.
