News of the shooting was | made public to-day after receipt of a report from Postal Inspector Craighead in Pittsburgh to Capt Barrett, in charge of the marine guard detailed to mail trains, The report said: charge of Train No. 8, leaving Was!- | Ington last night, reports the killin of two men-and the capturd of a! third by marines.

Subsequent unofficial advices from Pittsburgh quoted Inspector Craig- head as saying that since sending his} report to Capt, Barrett he had re- ceived information making him be- Meye only one man was shot, but as the body has not been found he is in doubt about it, Train No. 9 left Washington at 10.20 o'clock last night, reaching Pitts- burgh at 7.20 this morning. The men encountered by the marines boarded thé train just outside of Washington and entered fhe mail car. The ma- rines ‘on guard at once ordered them to leave, and, when they refused, forcibly ejected them. Several shots were fired immediately afterward. One despatch from Pittsbungh stated that Capt. Herbert Hardy, commapd- ing the postal guard in that district, said Private Wasserman had reported to him that soon after the train left Washington he thougit he detected #ome one on the roof of one of the mail cars. He crept to an advantage- ous position and, with bis shot gun, swept the top of the car. He did not know whether he had hit any one. A short time afterward, according to this version, Wasserman’ saw two men on the platform of a mail car, ‘A clerk opened the door and Wasser- man fired at point-blank range. One of the men disappeared, the other, slightly wounded, swung out by the car rail\and was captured. ‘The captured man, upon being questioned, said that he was a me- cHante from Lackawanna, N. Y,, but had been employed lately in Buffalo. In Philadelphia not long ago, he said, he hed joined ap organization known as the International Association of Migratory Workmen. He said that he had no money and was riding with a companion, both of | them “beating” thelr way to Pitts-| burgb on the mail train when Wasser- man discovered them. The statement of the prisoner and thet of Wasserman conflicted in sev-| eral ways. | ila (Racing results, goratches, entries | and. eslestions on Page 2) \ il i | permits to manufacture PRESIDENT SIGNS ANTI- BEER BILL Measure Prohibiting Manufacture for Medicinal Purposes Becomes Law.

Arbuckle—hoavy of eye, saggy of cheek, and with his ence natty Nor- folk suit in need of a pressing— leaned eagerly over the backs of his attorneys’ chairs, ad they launched their counter-attack. The présecution’s action in sud- denly closing its case laté yesterday, \eeehont warning, failed to take Ar- buckle's ccunsel by surprise. His chief attorney, Gavin MoNab, in fact, had planned to demand Ar- buckle’s release when court convened this morning on the ground that the State had not succeeded in showing that he inflicted injuries upon Miss Rappe that caused her death. It was a foregone conclusion that such a plea, however, would be denied, so Arbuckle’s lawyers marshalled their evidence for their counter-assault, lining up & score of witnesses through whom they intend to prove that their client is innocent, and that those who accused him of carrying Miss Rappe into a bedroom, caveman style, were, to say the least, confused about what really happened. One of Arbuckle’s first witnesses was Miss Kate Brennan, tall, portly, and well dressed in brown satin, She said she had been a chambermaid at the Hotel St. Francis, and was per- mitted to explain in detail how cham- termaids clean rooms at fashionable Second Page.)
