They have persuasive way in Baxter street.
New York, but no one was forced TO buy things
he didn't want yesterday. All the "pullers in
had gone TO court to witness the trial of Abraham
Barnett, who had killed John T. Clover with
. blow Of his right fist There they sat. eigh;
rows deep, watching every step in the pro-
ceedings and making comments which showed
their familiarity with the criminal law.
Abraham Barnett il a tall, bony Young fellow,
but there is nothing about him that indicates
strength enough TO Kill a man with a punch.
1t was the hrittleness Of Clower's bones,
Lawyer Levy contends. that caused his death.
One blow OF Barnett's fist fractured that part OF
Clower's spinal column just below the skull.
The broken bone lacerated the brain and death
followed within half an hour.
Printer Michael ]. Walsh testified that he had
met Printer John Thomas Clover about 8
o'clock in the morning Of September 3. Both
were looking for work at the headquarters of
typographical Union, No. 6. The secretary
was absent. and the two new acquaintances
wandered out on the East River bridge. Then
Walsh said he was u stranger in town and
wanted to see the sights.
Lets 60 up through Baxter street." said
Clover, land see how they pull people in. It's
almost worth mans life TO go there, but we II
have some fun"
Clover was a small slight man. weighing
perhaps l25 pounds. The two printers strolled
up Park row and turned into Baxter street.
They slipped out Of the grasp of the .'pullers-
in" at No. 2. Abraham Barnett was sitting on
the steps of No. 4, Sam" Williams clothing

He seized Clover by both shoulders and tried
to pull him into the store. "Puller-in" Ko.
minski grabbed Walsh by the arm. Clover,
Walsh testified, struck Bar nett "a showing
blow" on the chest. Then Barnett hit Clover
a swinging bow with each fist on the side OF
the head. The second blow whirled the little
man around. Then the big fellow hit him
again, high up on the back Of the neck this
time, and Clover fell dying into the arms OF
Walsh, who had just escaped from kominski.
Jacob Weber was driving q truck through
Baxter street when the homicide occurred. He
told his story about il on the witness stand.
II pulled up. he said, land saw that gentle
man pointing TO Barnett) have hold OF a short
gentleman. The short gentleman was trying to
get away. The short gentleman made a kind of
showing blow at that gentleman (Barnett). II
hit him on the chest and passed up over his
shoulder. Then the tall gentleman hit him a
couple of times-once on each side of the head.
The short gentleman turned away and the tall
gentleman punched him in the back of the head
His friend caught him and propped HIM up

conspicuous in the crowds He was armed
with thousand-dollar bills and fourishsd them
declaring that he had as much Harrison money
TO put up as anybody with opposite views would
cover.
Mr. Walter Welman, Washington corre-

one OF Mr.. Goodwin's oratious 10 the Hoffman

owing doubtless TO his newspaper training.
Nevertheless he found voice during = iun in the
verbal tempest to say:
"fH take 81 o09 of that money"
Mr.. Goodwin's flow of words was checked.
He looked around quizzieally and asked: do
you mean it?'
Mr.. Wellmau meant II. Of course Marcus

Making the Churches Accessible.
ROCKVILLE. ND. December Z 1897

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
have just read with responsive interest the
article copied in today's STAR in regard to max
ing the churches at all times accessible to the
''wayfarers."
Some years since, while on a visit to New
York city, went, one week day, into Trinity
Church, and observed there one or more per-
sons quietly kneeling at prayer or meditation,
and rejoiced for them that they were free
from the din and hurry Of the crowded street.
When returned to my home, then in yir-
ginia. proposed the subject to some Of our
people and wished for the means to support the
proposition. as | felt that it would afford a
respite SO peculiarly dear to some hearts.
