Testify Twenty-seven Witnesses in Ettor Case. Salem, Mass., Oct. 23.—Police In- spector John J. Kelliher of Lawrence, Mass., told the jury in Judge Quinn's court today, where BEttor, Giovannitti and Caruso are on trial for the murder of Anna Loplzzo, victim of the textile strike riots, that he had been con- vinced on the night of Jan. 29 last that the time had come for the police to draw their revolvers. This, which was the mpst turbulent day of the strike, came to a climax with the Lopizzo tragedy. In spite of his conviction, however, the inspector said he did not draw his revolver and that he did not know of any policeman who fired a shot during the outbreak that resulted in_fatality. Keliiher testified that the police had struggled vainly &t Garden and Union streets) on the fatal evening to clear the streets of belligerent strikers and that they had been jeered and pelted with ice and other missiles. He told/ how they had resorted to the use of clubs and blackjacks to drive back resistant and angry men. described in detall the efforts of the police to force the people down Union street until a fusilade of shots was heard. After the smoke had cleared away, he said, a woman had been found dy- ing. The witness drew from his pock- et a blackjack which he said he had brought down on the backs of excited mill workers. James H. Sisk, one of counsel for :the defendants, took the blackjack from Kelliher and swung ii in the presence of the jurors, illus- trating how the weapon was used on the strikers. “Did you use it this way?” asked Attorney Sisk, fastening the blackjack loop on his wrist and striking out wit the lead-filled leather. ‘ “Yes,” said the imspector. “I struck the men who would not move about the back and shoulders.” After this phase of the riot had been re-enacted in the courtroom, Attorney Sisk asked the witness: “You never drew your, revolver?” “No, I did not,” said Kelliher. “Didn’t you think that the time had come for you to do so, if the men were resisting you as you describe?” “I @id think right then at the corner of Garden and Union streets that night,” said Kelliher, “that the time in the rioting had arrived for me to ‘draw a gun, but I didn't.” “Why didnt’ you?” counsel asked. “Because I concluded that-I would first take another chance with my hands.” ‘ The cross examination of Kelliher led right up to the killing of Anna Lopizzo, the description of the firing of from 10 to 30 shots, and the finding of a stricken woman in the street, but never once was the name of the vic- tim mentioned in the testimony nor any testimony taken as to the actual shooting of the girl. None has been introduced thus far in the trial. Edward J. Griffin, another Lawrence policem#n, who was with Inspector Kelliher on the night of Jan. 29, cor- roborated the inspector's description of the riot. He, too, denied that he fired a shot or drew a revolver, but he ad- mitted having received an order from Sergeant Spranger to draw his club and use his judgment when men defled his command to move. Both officers said they were struck by flying mis- siles. Twenty-seven witnesses - for the prosecution were on the stand today, one of them, Policeman John F. De- vine, pleasing the defense when he testified that he had seen the defend- ant Caruso many times during the strike, but never saw him do anything out of the way. Twenty-two of 'the witnesses were Lawrence street car employes who told of the'riots on the morning of Jan. 29, when street cars were assailed, the windows smashed and pagsengers on the way to work molested and driven to the street. OBJECTED TO HIS SISTER'S SWEETHEART She Wouldn't Give Him Up So Chico- pee Greek Killed Her.

PERKINS PAYS VISIT —_—— Dr. Lyman Abbott and Son Also Per- mitted to See Colonel—Ex-President May Make Several Speeches. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Oct. 23.—The bar- rier between Sagamore. Hill and the rest of the world was up today and nothing was to be seen of Colonel Roosevelt. A few visitors, however, succeeded in getting past and through them the news filtered out that the Colonel was steadily imprQving. At 9 o'clock tonight, after his physicians had examined his wound, they gave out this bulletin: Healthy Healing of Wound. ."“Colonel Roosevelt has been resting in bed since his return home and is distinctly better. The wound shows that the healthy healing processes are going on. (Signed) “DR. JOSEPH A. BLAKE. “DR. GEORGE E. BREWER. “DR. ALEX. ‘LAMBERT. “DR. GEO. W. FALLER.” Receives George W. Perkins. Colonel Roosevelt took .a dip into politics on Sagamore Hill today. One of his visitors was George W. Perkins of New York, who, with Senator Dixon of Montana, had charge of the colonel’s campaign. Colonel Roosevelt had been impatient to see Mr. Perkins and to get in touch with the political situa- tion again, after being out ot the fight more than a weefi He was thoroughly refreshed when he awoke this morn- ing and showed no ill effects from his trip from <Chicago, * so that it was thought safe for him to talk politics for a time and word was sent to Mr. Perkins to come to- Oyster Bay. Dr. Lyman Abbott of New York and his sons, Lawrence and Ernest Abbott, who are associated with Colonel Roosevelt in his editorial work, also spent a short time at Sagamore Hill. Ate Three Big Meals. The colonel was permitted to sit up for a time and even moved about the house'a bit, but Mrs. Roasevelt kept a close watch on him to prevent him from over-exerting.himself. He ate three big meals and it was said that he was in fine spirits and appear- ed"to be in the best of condition, hav- ing more strength than at any previous time since he was shot. By tomarrow he expects to-be able to do some work. The timeé remaining before election day ig so short and the amount of work ; which he would like to do is so great that Colonel Roosevelt is eager to be- gin. “Getting Along in Fine Shape.” Dr. Scurry Terrell of Dallas, Texas, Colonel JRoosevelt’s physician during the aign, who is staying in Oyster Bay to keep a close watch on the colonel, visited Sagamore Hill twice during the day. “Cglonel Roosevelt is getting along fine,” said the doctor. “He was more active today and had more strength. The wound is still open, but so long as the discharge continues it should re- ";&‘"3 open, to heal later from the in- side.” » May Address Oyster Bay Rally. Col. Cecil Lyon of Texas, the ex- @resident’s traveling companion on his campaign tours, is staying at Saga- more Hill during the period of con- valescence. He said Colonel Roose- velt was improving so rapidly that he expected to be back at work soon. In addition to the speech which Colonel Roosevelt is to make in New York next week he probably will address his neighbors in this and surrounding towns at a rally in Oyster Bay on the night *before election. The prospects for his speedy recovery have brought up the question of additional speeches. f the colonel has his way and his strength holds out, he probably will make a few more addresses. It is un- derstood that this was one of the :héngs he discussed with Mr. Perkins oday. CHORUS OF COAL MINERS AT A BULL MOOSE RALLY. Governor Johnson Says Settlement of Coal Strike Made Roosevelt Enemies. Scranton, Pa., Oct..23.—Those ene- mies that Colonel Roosevelt made among certain wealthy men when he stepped inté the anthracite coal strike in 1902 and obtained a settlement fa- vorable to the men are arrayed against him in his present fight, Governor Johnson tonight told an audience in which were several hundred miners. Touching further on the colonel’s enemies, the governor said the “kept” newspapers whose animosity in the past was aroused against the former president by reason of his activity against unfair monopolies, now are en- gaged in seeking to convince the pub- lc that he would “foster” big combi- nations. The meeting, which was largely at- tended, was held in the armory. A chorus of coal miners furnished the music. The speaking was advertised among the miners in several foreign lariguages. “Those financiers who have been guilty of indefensible practices in- jurious to the people could not under- stand or sympathize in 1903 with what they then called the ‘meddling propen- sities’ of the president when he took a hand in the great anthracite strike mlthe coal fields of Pennsylvania,” he said. “The great owners who now are largely arrayed against Colonel Roose- velt resented, and resented bitterly. government action, because, forsooth. they regarded it as interference with their private business. “They paid no heed to the prospect of suffering from cold and hunger which faced the people unable to ob- tain at the usual prices the coal they required. What they wanted was a president who would despatch troops into the disaffected district and by use of their weapons compel the miners to return to work under the conditions they imposed, but Roosevelt, ever alive to the justice to the workingmen, as well as the operatives themselves, re- fused to take such arbitrary action.” Referring to Colonel Roosevelt's at- titude toward ‘the trusts, he sald: . “It was he who commenced the bat- tle against the trusts of the nation ana required them to submit to govern- mental control. By this very act he incurred their enmity and that of ev- ery ‘kept’ newspaper in the land. “The same newspapers that de- nounced him because of his ‘destruct- ive’ and hls ‘anarchistic’ views In seek- ing to suppress and rapress the wronglul aggression of dishonest com- binations of wealth toda oring to poison the nublic mind by ‘ssvrlx‘:xg that bhe is f[riendly o the 2 RV AR 2 T are endeav- ! | -{ were all other ; Condensed Telegrams A “School of Mother Craft” has been established in New York.

Some pasitions to the north of Adrianople are also Md& have been taken after fighting of severest character. V Little News from Montenegrins. Information concerning the Mat negring’ progress is meager, but Turkish authorities claim that Scutari has been reinforced and is safe. A Saloniki despatch asserts that the Malissori tribes are offended because the Montenegrin commanders are pro- claiming the sovereignty of King Nicholas in the captured Al L towns. They demand that King h- olas giveia guarantee that he evacuate Albanian territory and secure automo- my for Albania. So far they have re- ceived no satisfactory reply and it 4s reported that they are refusing to fight further for the Montenegrins, “whose advance ‘has been thereby checked.

Three Robolli‘n‘ s Still in Progress in Mexico, However. Washington, Oct. 28.—News of the recapture of Vera Cruz by Mexican federal forces and the surrender of Gen. Felix Diaz and his staff with practically no show of resistance was received with astonishment ‘n officia oircles here. It is generally believed that this event marks the complete suppression of what should be looked upon as the beginning of a general rebellion involving entirely new ele- ments. The sudden collapse of the defen: after such elaborate preparations hi been made for a general battle, i taken as an evidence that the strength of the revolutionary sentiment in the city of Vera Cruz has been very much oyerrated and that it was confined closely to the comparatively small garrison which flocked to the standard of General Diaz principally for senti- mental motives. The downfall of the Diaz movement leaves three rebellions in operation in Mexico, headed respectively by Zapata, Agnilar and Orozco.
