TRIAL OF EMMA GOLDMAN AND ALEXANDER BERKMAN They Have Announced That They Will Conduct Their Own Defens: New York, June 27. Berkman, who with Emma Goldman, another anarchist, is on trial in the United States district court here for conspiracy to obstruct the operation of the selective draft law, was warned repeatedly today by Judge Julius M. Mayer that in examining talesmen for the jury he must confine himself to questions having to do with the case. Earlier in the day Berkman and Miss Goldman dismissed their attorney and announced they would conduct their own defense. Rerkman asked talesmen whether they believed in patriotism, whether they were Christians and what their social interests were. The query concerning Christianity was met with the objectlon that it was “absolutely improper.” Before a talesman who had been questioned concerning his social interests could answer, the opposing counsel declared it was “none of Berkman's business what his cocial interests were” and the court sustained the objectlon. Sever- al talesmen were examined during the aay. Alexander MAKE-UP OF NEW GREEK MINISTRY Eliptherics Venizelos is Premier and ter of War.

T R S S BTN ¥ Gilligan Defense SuggestsApoplexy MAY HAVE FIGURED IN THE DEATH OF ANDREWS BODY FULL OF ARSENIC Dr. Arthur J. Wolff, the State’s Med- ical Epert Maintains That Poison Was the Cause of Death—The Only Witness Yesterday. Hartford, Conn., June 27.—The pos- sibility that apoplexy may have fig- ured in the death of Franklin R. An- drews despite the poison found in the body was suggested today by the de- fense in the trial of Mrs. Amy E. Ar- cher-Gilligan on a charge of having murdered Andrews by poison. Other developments were a statement by Dr. Arthur J. Wolff, the state’s medical expert, that he had performed an au- topsy before that on Andrew’s body, and a declaration by Benedict M. Hol- den, senior counsel for the accused woman, that Insanity would w>t be claimed by the defense. Dr. Wolif was not permitted to say anything about this autopsy. Dr. Wolff Didn't Examine Under cross-examination by Mr. Holden, Dr. Wolff said he had not examined the brain or spinal column of Andrews at the Cheshire Cemetery as he knew from previous experience they would be of no assistance to him because of their condition. He hal been directed to make the autopsy to determine if death had been due to gastric ulcers as stated in the death certificate. He did not know at the time that Andrews had been paintinz a fence the dav before his death. He Brain. had some information, he said, “as I had performed another autopsy.” He was not permitted to go on. In his examination at the cemetery he said in reply to further questions by Mr. Holden, he found nothing to negative death by apoplexy, nor would he have found anything had he examined the brain. “Then vou don’t know whether death was due to apoplexy or not?” asked Mr. Holden. Body Was Filled With Arsenic. “No.” replied the witness, “but I don’t believe it was. I know he didn’t die of ulcers of the stomach and that the body was filled with arsenic. A man might have apoplexy and die of arsenical poisoning.” Mr. Holden ask- ed if a man might not have arsenic in his system and die of apoplexy. That replied the witness, is the reverse of the proposition. “Did you find anything to show that this was not so?” queried Mr. Hol- den. “Nothing,” replied the witness. States Poison Caused Death. Dr. Wolff said he did not make an examination at the cemetery for poi- son. He detected its presence there, however, as the body was “pretty well saturated with it.” The amount of poison_found in the stomach contents, he estimated at about 23.37 grains, which indicated to him, he said, that as much of this poison was stil] in al form Andrews had had a large dose of it shortly before his death in addition to t which had made ill earlier on the day he died. He maintained that poison was the cause of death A part of the stomach contents, he said. he had retained and the balance he had sent to Dr. Victor (. Vauzhn, dean of the medical department of the University of Michigan, for examina- tion. Dr. Vaughn was in court to- day and it is understood will testify later for the defense. Wolff the Only Witness Yesterday Dr. Wolff was the only witness ex- amined today. An attempt by the state to question Dr. Emma J. Thompson of Hartford, who attended Miss Alice H. Gowdy, deceased inmate of the Archer home in Windsor con- ducted by Mrs. Gillisan, was blocked by objection by the defense and the witness was withdrawn, the cross- (—xflminalionb of Dr. Wolff temporarily v suspended the defense being re- sumed. During the afternoon eleven volumes on arsenical poisoning, to which Dr. Wolff had referred eariier in the day, were brought into court at the re- auest of the defense and subsequently about' an hour’s recess was taken to give counsel for the accused an op- portunity to Tk over them.

Tomorrow a resolution embodying this plan will be submitted to the convention of four hundred operators meeting here for discussion of the problem and indica- tions are that it will be accepted. It then may be presented as a substi- tute for pending legislation proposing blanket authority for government price fixing on the commodity and backed by the operators as a com- promise adjustment satisfactory to both producers and consumers. The re-consideration was decided on after speakers pointed out that such a procedure might make the operators li- able to prosecution under the Sher. man anti-monopoly law.
