WASHINGTON, Nov. LIN the Soteldo
trial Frank B. Conger, Treasurer Of the
National Republican Publishing Com
pany, was called. He holds that at the
visit of the Soteldo brothers to Barton's
office on the night of the tragedy, A. NJ.
Soteldo presented Barton with a manu-
script, which be looked at casually and
then refused to accept, telling Soteldo to
give it to Gorham. Soteldo then sprang
upon Barton and a scuffie ensued, in which
a lamp was knocked over. Witness picked
it up and placed it on the floor, and then
started out with it. AS he passed through
the door he saw Soteldo standing at the
end of the desk with a revolver in his
hand. He passed rapidly through the
outer room, hearing a shot as he did so,
and ran down stairs and called for a po-
liceman. Hearing cries from above the
witness started to return, when Barton
and the defendant came tumbling down
stairs on to the sidewalk. Barton told wit
ness he had a ball in his head, which was
covered with blood. He also said he was
shot in the side, and was too weak to
walk. Witness started to go with Barton
/, to the Office, and met 4. c. Soteldo st the
door. He was struggling with several
printers, trying TO escape. Barton held a
pistol in his right name as be and Soteldo
lay at the foot Of the stairs. 1t was a
dark, dusty weapon. On cross-examina-
ton the witness said that at no time did
he see e weapon in the hands of A. NJ.
Soteldo. He could not see when he left
the room whether or not Barton and A.
NJ. Sateldo had weapons in their hands.
He was not positive as to the number Of
shots fired, but believed it was four. Dr..
Bliss described the nature Of the wounds
Of A. NJ. Soteldo, and Barton identified
the pistol balls. Charles G.. Conger iden-
tilted Barton's pistol.
PoiIoek's suspension.
WASHINGTON, Nov. There is much
u~nfavorable comment in the Interior De-
partment official circles over the recent
letter of Indian Inspector Pollock, who
some time ago was suspended by order Of
Secretary Teller. His criticism of Indian
Commissioner Price is regarded as an un.
kind and uugrateful act. 1t is now re-
garded as certain that Pollock's suspen-
sion will amount to a virtual dismissal.
Secretary Teller having said should Pol
lock take to the newspapers to air his
alleged grievances, in a matter to which
the pubic Is not q party, that he would be
compelled to dispense with his services.
There is excellent authority for the state
ment that had Pollock submitted quietly
to suspension in a few days he would have
been reinstated.
