proximately melancholia, a form OF insan-
ity. He could not answer definitely gigan-
tic Hypothetical question put to him. 1t
covered all the facts in the case tending to
show the prisoner to have been insane at the
time of the shooting. A part of the ques-
tion reflected upon the character of the dead
woman, and was among the things objected
to in the Hypothetical case by the prosecu-
tion. To establish this claim of the defense
Mr. Orton was recalled.
"What was Cora Redpath's reputation"
asked Mr.. Marshall.
every badr' replied Mr.. Orton before
the Court could stop him. The answer was
stricken out, but after some argument he
was allowed to testify that her reputation
generally, as he heard it spoken of, was bad
Thought Garvin Was Insane.
DR.. Diller, an insanity expert, was called
next The trend of his testimony was to
the effect that Garvin was insane at the
time he shot his wife.
The letters found in Mrs. Garvin's trunk
from Ed ]. Rahm and others were offered
in evidence as showing the character of the
girl and corroborating the testimony of the
defendant This was obi jected to by the
District Attorney and the objection was
sustained by the Court.
Robert Simpson, managing editor of the
Commercial Gazette was the last witness for
the defense. He testified that the defen-
dant had the very best of reputation. He
saw Garvin on the night before the shoot
ing and be was very constrained and ner-
vous; also on the afternoon after the shoot
ing, when he was greatly excited and talked
in a rambling manner.
This concluded the testimony and court
adjourned until this morning.

into an argument Words gave way to
blows, and Killen was getting the worst OF
it AT that moment West Harrington came
along and interfered in behalf of Killen.
The fight lasted for few minutes after that
and then Kelly walked away. He had only
gone about 20 PAGES when Harrington
started after him on the run. Kelly turned
on his assailant and another scrap started.
Harrington came out a victor in this scrlm-
mage. He kicked Kelly severely and then
drew a knife and plunged it into the
worsted mans left arm and breast Har-
rington then fled.
Dr.. Cullom, of Oakdale, was at once
called and gave the young man medical at
tention. 1t was found necessary to remove
him to the West Penn Hospital His arm
was amputated shortly alter he was taken
there. Blood poison followed the amputa-
tion and this resulted in death.
Coroner Mcdowell was at work on the
case yesterday, and will hold an inquest in
few days Officers are now out looking for
Killen and Harrington, but late last night
neither of the men had been caught
Kelly lived at Petersville and was mar
ried His remains were shipped 10 that

Bitter Feeling Cropping Out Over the Fight
for Postmaster.
CHAIRMAN BREMEN ON THE SUBJECT

The straightout Republicans who confused
the regular party leaders in the non-parti-
san judicial contest in Allegheny county
of year ago. and who were supposed tc
have expired Immediately after that battle,
yesterday issued call for meeting to be
held in the Twenty-seventh ward school
house on Monastery avenue, Southside, to-
morrow evening.

George Fritz, F. G. Beinhauer, the Citi.
zens' candidate for Mayor, and others The

duce taxes, rent and the cost of living.
Speeches are promised from sever al of the
straight-out workers.
Congressmsn-elect Sipe, ex-Judge Fetter-
man and those who organized the straight
out movement in both parties have been
especially invited to attend and the efforts
of those responsible for the meeting will be
to renew their organization and make 1t

Beinhauer regardless ofthe other party can
didates.
The fight for the federal places in Pitts
burg is still attracting the attention of the
Democratic leaders. The fight for the post
office, however, is demanding the closest
watching and is already developing bitter
feeling. County Chairman Bremen has
declared himself emphatically against ex-
Postmaster Larkin for the place. MI. Bren-
men intlmates that his fight against the ex-
Postmaster has not yet been rightly started
and that some surprising letters written by
Mr.. Larkin will soon be given to the
public.
Jury Commissioner Mullen is also out
spoken in his opposition to Mr.. Larkin.
He is Just as bitterly opposed to P. Foley,
who has applied for the place. Mr.. Mullen
contends that Postmaster Mexican has made
a satisfactory official. and he thinks that
no change in the place should be made until
Mr.. McKean's term e1pires

DAMAGING EvIDENcE SECURED.
Trial in the Gamble Weir Larceny Case
Come Up Next Week.

Trial in the Gamble Weir Larceny Case to
Come Up Next Week.
The furniture and other property belong
ing to the late Gamble Weir, which was
found in the house of Mrs. Marsh and her
friend, Mcintosh, and which they are ac-
cused of stealing, was brought from Staple
ton, S. L, yesterday and is now in the
hands of the District Attorney. The trial
of Mcintosh and Mrs. Marsh will probably
take place next week. Among the articles
brought back are chinchilla overcoat, a
leather covered couch, some jewelry, a
plush headrest, and some collars and cuffs
on which the name of the dead man has
been blotted out with indelible Ink and
McIntosh's name substituted. The head
rest was a Christmas present from Gamble
Weir's sweetheart few weeks before his
death.
In order to get possession of the goods H.
c. Fehl, administrator of the estate, was
compelled bv District Attorney Fitzgerald
to furnish bond of $500 that in case Mrs.
Marsh was acquitted the goods should be
returned to Richmond county, N. j. Mr..
Fitzgerald took an active interest in Mrs.
Marsh's behalf and gave the administrator
considerable trouble before giving up the
furniture.
Two women from Tottenville, where Mrs.
Marsh and Mcintosh lived before they
moved to Stapleton, will be brought here to
testify when the case comes up in court
One of these witnesses sent the information
which led to the capture Of the prisoners
and her testimony will be important.
The police authorities say startling evil
dence will be developed at the trial relating
to the death of Gamble Weir, but Admins
traitor Fehl says he does not expect any
thing OF that kind.

DEFENDS HIS RIGHTS.

Max Newman Aroused From His Sleep
shoots Co-Worker.
Thomas Coyne was shot and killed at
Homestead on Monday night by Max New
man. He is said to have number of friends
and acquaintsnces living about Thirty-third
street, where he at one time lived. No
other friends are known and the Coroner
expects to learn something IS to
his home at the inquest to-day.
Coyne and Newman occupied the same
position, relatively, in the sleeping apart
ments at Carnegie's mills, but Coyne's cot
was two rooms further along the dormitory.
1t is now thought that Coyne entered the
wrong room in mistake, and, finding his
supposed bed occupied, raised disturbance
which ended in his death. No blame is at
tached to Newman, as his story of resenting
an attack from supposed strikers is believed

GOURLEY In A NEW ROLE.

breaches q. p. Ministers a Lively Sermon
Opens Their Eyes a Little-Says Pitts
burg Has 800 Disorderly Houses With
5000 Inmates.
Mayor Gourley exhorted the exhorters
yesterday. During the morning while he
was very busy with the bills passed in
Councils on Monday he received call from
Reva J. R. J. Milligan and f. Getty, rep
resenting the United Presbyterian Mi
terial Association. They called as a COM
mittee to present a resolution adopted at a
meeting of the association on Monday de-
nouncing the attitude of the city authorl-
ties with reference to disorderly houses
The resolution included the Mayor, he
being one of the authorities and he didn't
like it. Before the ministers got away
they were argued to a standstill and had
the question presented to them in a more
forcible manner than they had ever thought
of expounding it.
81 admit and recognize" said His Honor,
''that this evil is one Of the worst with
which the authorities have to deal, and l
believe / am as anxious to see it obliterated
as any member of the Christian organization
which you represent. l fear you gentlemen
only look at the theatrical side of the ques-
tion. You don't realize Its enormity or your
responsibility. There are nearly 800 disor-
derly houses, with from 1000 to 5000 in
mates in this city. These women are human.
They must live some where. But what if
we close their houses? What will become
OF them? Some will leave this for other
cities, but the majority will remain
and must have homes. Are the Christian
ministers who are crying out against them
ready to extend them helping hand, open
the doors of hospitality to them, give them
homes, endeavor to lead them to better
life, or help them to earn an honest living?
Will you meet them on the street with a
smile kind of encouragement to do right, or
Will you cross over to the other side to
avoid them as so many do now? Would
you have them driven away from Pittsburg
to some other city in order to get rid of
them? Do you call that Christianity?
AZ don't wish to offend you, gentlemen,
but this is a serious matter and must be
treated with careful consideration. 1 have
given it much thought Unless you are
prepared to offer practical plan to dispose
of these women, you had better let them
alone. If you are prepared to do anything
on the lire l have indicated, 1 am ready to
assist l will close every house inside of "a
hours if you will offer to help these unfor-
tunstes, so that they will not be driven to
attics and other secluded places where their
presence will be ten-fold more dangerous to
the youths of our city. L believe it can be
accomplished if the effort is made
The Mayor continued in this strain for
nearly an hour. The ministers declared
they had not thought of it before in that
light and promised to report to their asso-
citation.

SHOOTING AT HOMESTEAD.

Deputy Sheriff wahl Fires on an Escaping
Prisoner-A Non-Union Man Also Tries
His Hand at shooting-Finances VIII
Be Discussed To-day-Homestead's New
Burgess.
There were only five shots discharged in
Homestead yesterday, decrease over the
day before. The revolver practice was
caused first by the attempt of q prisoner to
escape and secondly by drunken nom
unionist who was amusing himself trying
to shoot out the stars. Detective George
Wahl was given a warrant at noon to serve
/ on William Rotroff, who is charged with
Frederick Wilmer, . former striker,
in the mill. The detective found
Rotroff on Seventh avenue surrounded by q
crowd of his friends. Rotroff started on a
run. Wahl broke through the line and pur-
sued his man, calling on him to stop or he
would shoot him. Rotroff kept on, desper-
ately trying to reach cover. Wahl then
fired in the air. Rotroff reached fence,
and as he did SO Wahl fired at his heels, he
vaulted the barrier and then fell fiat on the
other side. Wahl scaled the fence and ar
rested him without further difficulty. Ro-
tron was subsequently released on Dali.
About o'clock in the evening Charles
Biglin, who works in the mill, filled up on
whisky and sauntered down City Farm lane
to the Pemicky tracks. There he emitted
couple of warwhoops to attract attention,
and when he had succeeded in drawing q
crowd, drew his revolver and began to
shoot There was wild scattering, and the
neighborhood was greatly alarmed. Deputy
Sheriff William Atkinson came running to
the spot and Immediately arrested Biglin.
The latter claimed he was only trying to
shoot the stars
Harrison Critchlow, a cousin of Sylvester
Critchlow who is charged with murder, met
with an accident in the converting mill. A
mold fell on his left leg, crushing it SO
badly that amputation was necessary.
Judge Kennedy yesterday appointed j.
s. Hollingshead Burgess of the borough of
Homestead, vice John McLuckie, resigned.
Mr.. Hollingshead was supported by the
Borough Council and large number of
citizens.
A mass meeting of all the locked out men
and strikers has been called for this after
noon by the Advisory Committee. The OBJ
ject, it is understood, is to discuss finances
and strike benefits.

AFTER A M0RGUE AGAIN.

Coroner Mcdowell Will Ask the Legislature
to Make an Appropriation.
A bill will be presented in the next
Legislature asking for an appropriation for
q public morgue in Allegheny county.
This appropriation has been asked for sew
eral times, but this year there are strong
hopes of getting it.
There has been some talk of building a
city morgue. Coroner Mcdowell discour-
ages this from taxpayers standpoint. He
said yesterday: at would be foolish for
Pittsburg to erect morgue. 1t would
have to then pay for the care of its own
cases and those of the rest of the county
This would not be fair to the ciry's tax
payers A morgue should be a county in
stitution. If properly managed, it would
pay for itself The county is certainly in
need of a morgue, and it could be secured
cheaplv. The old Criminal Court build
ing could be altered at a cost of probably
$1,000, and it would answer the purpose
admirably. feel sure that the institution
could be maintained without any increase
