She also had one of the largest Passenger lists in her history, composed almost entirely of Americane who had been transferred from other ships on which they had engaged passage.

Mrs. Anna Geidel was put on the wit- nega stand to-day before Judge Crain in General Sosstons in defense of her sev- enteen-year-old son Paul, on trial for the murder of William H. Jackson, @ seventy-three-year-old broker, in the Hotel Iroquote, where the boy was formerly employed as bellboy. Mrs. Geldel ts a homely, spectacted woman, with troubled eyes. She was dressed in black, wearing a plain black hat. She kept her eyes fixed closely on Mr. Gray of counsel for her son, who moved up close to the witness chair to question her. “Are you able to testify in the Bn- would you prefer an interpreter?’ “I would like an interpreter,” mur- mured the mother, ‘If it ts possible.” She spoke in excellent English, but with a slight accent. “How long has the lady been in this country ked Mr. Nott.

Mr. Gray began an effort to let Mra. Geldel tell her own story of her son's life. Mr. Nott oonceded the, truth of Paul Geldel’s own story of his life up to the time he left his mother. Mr. Gray changed his tactic as |though to have the mother testify to | her own acquaintance with her son, Mr. Nott conceded that Paul's mother knew him better than anybody else. Once more Mr. Gray sought to justify Mrs, Geldel’s presence on the stand by qualifying her as a character witness, Mr. Nott began another concession and Mra, Geldel was excused.

Seated beside her counsel, Miraboau Towns, she assumed a dreamy attitude and unemotionally listened to Mrs. Ina- belle Goodwin, police matron, tell of the mystic treatment the sybil had pre- scribed for sick headaches.

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE, Va., Aug. 29.—Henry Clay Beattie will take the witness stand in his own defense. Fearful of the effect of Paul Beattie’s testimony, that the prisoner practically con- fessed that he murdered his wife, the defense announced in court to-day that Henry would be called as a witness to refute the story. Practically all the cross-examination of Paul Beattie for the defense was concentrated on the effort to show that Paul Beattie recited an en- tirely different story yesterday from the one which he related at the Coroner's inquest and that he had on the first occasion suppressed a part of his knowledge of the case. The witness maintained that this was due to tis nervous bay at the Coroner's inquest and he was excused without changing his sda testimony. LEFT RICH HUSBAND INITALY 10 ELOP WITH POOR PIANIST ss.
