GENTLEMAN GEORGE.
Ellwood Refuses to Tell What His
Real Name Is.
ALL THE EVIDENCE is IN.
The Trial Drawing to n Close-The Pris-
oner Testifes In His Own Behalf
Says He is an Escaped Convict and
That He was Never I'm Providence.

The trial OF Gentleman" George Ell
wood is drawing to a close. The testi-
mony was completed yesterday, and today
was taken up with arguments of the
counsel.
Yesterday was the most interesting day
OF the trial, and when Ellwood went on
the stand in his own behalf there was not
vacant seat obtainable in the court
room.
Before going on the stand he asked the
court TO grant him the privilege OF telling
his story without taking the oath explain
ing that there were certain things about
himself, OF no importance in this case,
which he did not want to be obliged TO
answer. Judges Wilbur and Rogers
talked the matter over, and finally de-
cided that they could not grant his re-
quest.
Ellwood consulted with his counsel
moment and then walked 10 the witness
stand. He was as calm AS ever. All eyes
were on him as he told his story. He pro-
ceeded to account for his whereabouts at
the time the Humphrey residence was
robbed. He said he was never in Provi-
dence until brought here from Worcester
by Detective Parker
On cross-examination Attorney General
Burbank asked: "What is your right
name"
"That / decline to answer" said Eli
wood. "It is not on my own account that
decline, but have sisters and relatives
whom l do not wish to disgrace, as
would il my right name was once known.
will say, though, that George Ellwood
Is not my right name"
The court ruled that he need not tell his
name.
"When did you first give the name of
Ellwood 2" asked Mr.. Burbank.
"When l was arrested in New York
city in 1885,.
What were you arrested for at that
timer"
81 decline to answer"
'Were you afterwass' convicted OF the
crime for which you were arrested in New
York city?"
IL was convicted and sentenced to ten
years imprisonment in the Columbus,
Ohio, penitentiary.
Have you served that term outs"
"No, SIR"
"Were you pardonedf"
"No, sir" Everybody smiled
Then you are an escaped convictp
"Yes, sir"
When he left the stand last night every
body expected that Ellwood would be re-
called this morning, but he wasn't and
the crowd was disappointed. The State
recalled Officer Luby.
This concluded the testimony, and at 10
o'clock attorney Cannon began his plea
for Ellwood.
