APPLAUSE UNCHECKED. Her Husband Also Testifies and Is Defended From the Bench. IONDON, May %.—An tmmense crowd, moatly society women, attracted by the announcement that Lady Duft- Gordon was (o tentify, to-day flocked to the court-room where the Board of Trade inquiry into the sinking of the Titanio was resumed after adjournment since Friday. The heating took on more of the character of a society function than Anat of an investigation into the cire cumstances of a great catastrophe. ‘The dril! hall of the London Scottish Rifles ‘s a small armory in Buck+ ingham Gate in the central dise trict of Westminster. It was well filled long before the hour fixed by Lord Mersey, the presiding judge, for the opening of the inquiry to-d string of handsome motor ci trance whence they were ushered to Teserved seats on the floor and in the allerios. Those who did not porsess special tlokets stood on chaira at the back of the hall craning thoir necks so as to obtain a view of the chief actors con- Rected with the incident of the partly filled lifeboat which exved Sir Cosmo and Lady Duft-Gordon's secretary, and the occupants of which, according to the evidence of two of the crew, protested | against going to the rescue of thoss| truggling in the water and crying for help. “SPEAK UP," CROWDS SHOUT TO WITNESSES. The audience was not to be cheated out of the slightest particle of what has become the acandal of the day in Eng: | Jand, and when Sir Rufus Isaacs, Attorney-General, recommended the ox: amination of witnesses there were cries of “Speak up’ from those unable to hear. Lady Duff-Gordon, in low-toned voice but apparently unembarrassed by the hundreds of eyes focused upon her, tolé her etory of the night of terror in the ice fields. She sald that she was very seasick and declined to enter the Meboat at all unless Sir Cosmo w allowed to go with her. An officer ga' Permission, she said, and poth got into the boat. Vehemently Lady Duff-Gordon pro- mounced absolutely false stories in Rewspapers, published after the arrival of the Carpathia, to the effect that the Duff-Gordons objected to the lifeboat Going back to rescue the drowning. Lady Duff-Gordon admitted that she heard cries for help of those doomed aboard the vessel before the Titanic wank, but dented @hat any cries were heard after the liner disappeared. Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon, resuming his testimony that was interrupted by Fri- day's adjournment, saki that he did not know the Titanic was equipped with only enough Ilfeboats to accommodate about half of the passengers and crew. On cross-examination Sir Cosmo said that !t was but natural, under the try- ing clrcumatances, not to think of go- ing back for those in the water. But it would have been a splend{d thing, could it @ been done, Sir Cosmo sald. ni Soglety Flocks to Inquiry and | fashionably gowned women at the en-| - 4 | | | | ! | > ACHESON WAT | FOR DEATH ASK TSE BROTHER (Continued from First Page.) made peace with God and am resigned to di 80 SHORT A TIME TO LIVE, DOES NOT WANT SLEEP.

Mis aged father in Virginia is too feeble to stand the journey and thevstrain, His sister in New York State does not wish to have her last thought of her brother asociated with a th cell. / His brother, Pouglas Richeson of Chicago, in the city to-day, declared ht that he would not go to the prison to-day, but would remain until after the execution to see to the dis- pouition of the condemned man's body. Following the execution the medical examiner of the county, Dr. George B. Magrath, will perform an autopsy in accordance to the demands of the law, notwithatanding the fact that the fam- ily have sent word to the counsel for the condemned man that they would not allow it. The law leaves no alter- native, although the post-mortem ex- amination may be as perfunctory or thorough as the medical examiner wills. The Rev. Herbert 8.

Do you think {t fair to ask such questions?” This brought a round of applause from the women in the gallery, which Was repeated time after time without @ word from the Judge. Applause is always sternly repressed im English court of law. During the examination of Gordon @ question was asked about the actions of Bruce Ismay, general manager of the White Gtar line, on the night of the tragedy.

She grew furious at the slight, and her mother- love drove her to desperation when “Johnny Bull" was not noticed like the other babies The fre of the babies, Catherine Moore, died on Feb, 17.

I didn't think the babies would die; I only thought they would get sick and then I could see them work hard.” Later, through her attorney, Edward J. Reilley, she repudiated her contes- stom, declaring it was wrung, from her by the threat of the police to take her baby from her.
