tl DEFENSE S LOSE Accused Fails to Take the Stand, but His Family Physician Swears His Right Arm Was Disabled, | COULD NOT HAVE DONE DEED Unable at the Time of Foster’s Death to Raise His Arm Above Wis Head—State’s Witness tmpeached. (Special to The Brening World.) RIVERHEAD, L, I, Jan, 15,—The de- fense In the Disbrow case closed this afternoon without putting the defendant on the stand, ‘he last witness to tes- tify was Dr. Willlam R. Scoville, the Disbrow family physi who swore that. Disbrow Injured his right-arm two months before the murder, three ribs @ month later and that at the time of Foster's death was unable to have raised his right,arm and struck the}. ‘low that is alleged to have been dealt to his rival. Attorney Miles then put In some docu- mentary evidence attacking the charac- ter of William Walton, who was a chum of Disbrow and had testified that Dis- brow the night after the murder told his heart was broken because “Dimple” Lawrence had gone away with Foster. The evidence went to show that Wal- ton had been guilty of such petty crimes as stealing lead pipe and pleces of harness, | Court adjourned until to-morrow morning, when arguments will begin. Ontline of the Defense, Proceedings for the day opened with the outline of the defense to the jury by Mr. Miles. “The State has held tion which will acquit Disbrow;”” sald Mr. Miles. "I will prove by their own witne: that this boy is inno- cent,. that the deaths were accl- dental. “I will prove by their own wit- ness, Haroll Squires, an express-driver, that he blackened Foster's eye In a fzht on, June 9 while Foster was drunk. If there’ was any swelling over the eye thi blow was the cause. “Now, gentlemen, I shall locate the spot Where Sarah Lawrence's body came to the surface. That is where the two bodies went down.. The prosecution has been careful to ask its witnesses what Is the character of the bottom, but they did not tell you what that bottom was coverett with.” Here Mr. Miles held up big oyster shells, clinging together.in groups, and said: “That, gentlemen, Is the char- acter ,of the bottom of Tiana Bay. Do Qelleve that this defendant made {he alleged wound with murder in his heart, or do you belleve, as any sensible man must, that the body scraped over these shells and an abrasion was left that way? “When I went down there to look over the ground the boatmen said this is where Sarah Lawrence's body came up. back informa- t hit something the other day. o find out what it was, and found stake buried In the bot- < tom go-¢hat the top was under water.” First Witness for Disbrow, Bugene R. Smith was the first witness called for the defense. He is a civil engineer. He made a survey of the scene of the crime. He produced a chart locating all the houses on the shore of Tiana Bay where Foster was killed. Mr. Smith identified several clusters of oyster shells, which he and Nelson Squires removed from the bottom of Tiana Bay last fall, while Mr, Miles was preparing his defense. The wit- ness pointed out on the chart the var- fous points at which the shells were taken, The shells were admitted as ex- hibits, as was also a hickory pole, which Mr. Smith had pylisg out of the bay. i wyer, hi Sipeby COMaR lanes rae the ena atta in, he: ogunty, then Cea ‘Mr smith ih.

TWELVE HOURS OFF DUTY. ‘The Commissioner of Police announced to-day his new system of hours under which the Police Department is to be governed. It 1s a simplification of the present two-platoon system, has no resemblance to the three-platoon system agitated by the policemen, and will be known as the “six-sections system.” The police in each police precinct are to be divided into six sections, al- ternating with each other on duty, in reserve and off duty, The new system is considered a big concession to the policemen, as it gives them twelve hours each day off duty. The men are to be, on patrol duty eight hours and on reserve in the sta- tion four hours each day, while they e off duty and free to'do as they © for twelve hours, In this way the six sections are di- vided #o that two sections are on duty, one on reserve and three off du With the promulgation of the order Commissioner Greene has written «# let- ter to Mayor Low requesting the ime e¢ «appointment of new police- He recommends that the force Increesed, and that the pay new men be reduced to $100 in- Hend 9k a a year, he platoon system adopted by Com- missioner Greens will decrease tho Haine ber of men on actual duty by fully one- p third, it ts said, and to make up t deflclency new men are required?

TOO FUNNY FOR ANYTHING. Acknowledges the Corn and Several Other Things, Besides Jokingly Admitting That He Was Taken “Dead to Rights.” Max Miller, one of the most affable and able bodied second story men in this neighborhood, was held to-day In the Yorkville Court for examination on a charge of burglary. When arraigned before Magistrate Breen the cracksman exhibited a black eye, sprained thumb and numerous brulses on the body. In #pite of such ill treatment he could not help laughing and the Court joined in with the burglar's jest. "Strike me dead, Judge,” Miller, holding his sides, Got auch,” He Satd, “When J look at that bunch of soft steppers and think what they done to me I got to laugh—got to laugh—s'help me—got to laugh.” ‘The burglar almost rolled to the floor in excess of merri- ment. The soft steppers included Mrs. Will- iam Kurtz and eight other women, all from the apartment house at No: 71 East Fourth street, where Miller was exclaimed | caught last evening in the act of rifling Mrs. Kurte's apartments. The women grouped themselves in a formidable array and first glowered at the thief, then as the humor affected them they too Jaughed in the chorus, “Say, Judge, ain't no use throwin’ a bluff. ‘They caught me with the goods. But I don't regret nothin’. Why, it was the best show I ever see. I don't mind doin’ a stretch for this, Oh, he, he, ho ho!" “Was this man in your room?" askod the Magistrate of Mrs. Kurtz, “Was he?" she repeated in a high key, and the other elght women echoed, “Was he?" ‘Well, I should say he was. I've read so much about burglars T’often wanted to sce one, Rut to come home and find one right in your bed- room gives a person an awful shock." The other women all nodded, “I was coming home from shopping,” continued Mrs, Kurtz, “hurrying back to get dinner, and,after putting down my bundles looked ‘around. Where was my gold umbrella, my World's Fair souvenir, and the silver card tray? That's what I asked myself. Then I noticed a whole lot of things were gone from the wall. “I was just that mad that I could ‘a choked, and when J stepped to the bed-room I saw this—thls—man in the closet with a candie, taking down al my good dresses, and dolled’overs” *!
