CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE usual interest
was manifested in the Sturla trial this
morning, and the customary anxiety on
the part of the public to obtain admitance
| to the court room was mani
tested. There was no change in any of
the circumstances attending the trial from
previous days. The defendant occupied
her accustomed place beside her counsel,
and appeared brighter and more lively and
to take greater interest in the proceed
ings than at any time since the trial began.
She did not keep her face so entirely en-
veloped in her veil as on former occasions,
and while Mrs. Robinson was on the stand
she evinced marked interest in her evil
dence, and listened attentively to every
word she said. DR.. Reeves jackson was
recalled, and in reply to Mr.. Mills, re-as-
serted the opinion previously given that
the defendant was medically and legally
sane. Mrs. Mary NJ. Robinson of Council
Bluffs, Ia, testified that she was sister of
Mrs. E. B. Stiles. She came to Chicago,
and bore message to Theresa from Chas.
Stiles, and delivered it to
her. Witness stated that she had letters
from Charles Stiles saying that he had
| given defendant up. and wanted to vacate
the rooms; that witness might occupy
them as boarding house. Defendant
said that if Charley ever attempted to give
her up she would kill him. Also that she
had $1,000 of Stiles money.
DR.. Hay testified that he had been a
practising physician for twenty years.
Had heard the hypothetical question of the
prosecution, and the evidence showed that
| at the time of the murder defendant was
sane. He could not form any opinion on
the two hypothetical questions combined,
because they contained irreconcilable
| statements.
| After some unimporant testimony the de-
PENDANT was then recalled and stated that
while in jail she had refused to see Mrs.
Robinson because she had insulted her at
one time, She came to the house with
Eugene Stiles. Jean tapped her on the
chin, and said, ''Little sister, you have got
to leave now. You git, gitr' Mrs. Rob-
inson said that if witness did not leave
without trouble she would tell the landlord
that she was not Charles Stiles wife. Wit
ness never told Mrs. Robinson that she had
$1,000 of Charles Stiles money. She
never knew that he had $1,000. Mrs. Rob-
inson told her that Mrs. Stiles had driven
her away from her, and she had no
money. Witness gave her $40
gold piece. She also gave her
a brown silk suit and a
silk jacket for her daughter. Charles
Stiles had never given her any money 9TH
er than about 800. Counsel on both sides
announced that the had no more evidence
to offer, and, after consultation between
them and the court as to the conduct of
the argument, the court adjourned till 10
o'clock tomorrow, when Mr.. Mills will ad-
dress the Jury. Mr.. Trude will then reply
and then Mr.. Mills will reply to him, after
which the court will give the case to the
jury.
WILL REMAIN A MYSTERY.

| MILWAUKEE, Dec. 1.-THE true inward
ness of the cause of Henry Cary's flight
will probably never be known. This morn
lug st. Paul official said: ''We shall not
prosecute Cary, but will try to reform and
make man of him." Cary is still pris-
oner at his own house and he is under
orders not to leave it. It is now said that
he did not leave town with an abandoned
woman, as has been charged. 1t is known
that he has been keeping the company of
disreputable people for some time and
it is alleged that disreputable widow who
formerly lived here, aided and allotted by
an enemy of Cary's, a well-known business
man, has been Systematically Matchmaking
the fellow. From the fact that he had been
keeping company with the class of people
named, there was every opportunity in the
world to levy blackmail. 1t is limited that
Cary has made confession duplicating
large number of persons, and that as soon
as Merrill and the rest of the St. Paul Off
Gals get back there will be lively old rat
thing of dry bones. This confession does
not make Cary sIofense any the less; it only
duplicates and identifies other parties with
his disreputable doings. It is said Cary
tells his friends that he was blackmailed
by the disreputable widow, who went to
Texas some time ago, until he was we'll
nigh frenzied, and that he went to Texas
determined to kill her. He intimated to
GLOBE reporter who interviewed him that
the trouble he had with Texas party was
settled. What he meant by this is not
known. If Cary has made confession it
will create stir if the public ever get hold
of it.

l. CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Andrew j. Reddick,
publisher of the La Sale Democrat, had
hearing before United States Commissioner
Hoyne to day upon the charge of sending
obscene publications through the mails.
The obscenity consisted of highly sensa-
tional account of bastardy suit, with Sc
we're reflections upon the character of the
young woman in the case. The informa-
ton upon which the charge was based, was
furnished to District Attorney Leake by
Postmaster Corbus, of La Sale. In the
same issue of the Democrat there appeared
an article criticising Postmaster Corbus.
