Wayne every day. When Friday came he
plead with her not to keep the appointment
with the man in town, even taking off her
shoes to keep her at home, but she
put on the best dress she had
and said she would GO. What happened
next nobody knows exactly, but the in
turiated husband, in a frenzy of despair,
shot the erring woman to death. As to his
condition when he fired Mr. Marshall prom
ised the jury an expert would be called to
testify in plain terms. Mr.. Marshall con-
cluded with an appeal Tor acquittal or a
verdict of manslaughter.
A small spat between Mr.. Marshall and
the District Attorney occurred during the
formers address. Mr.. Marshall was telling
the jury that they might expect to hear his
arguments called rubbish by the District
Attorney later on, as he had so termed the
Hon. Thomas NJ. Marshal's speech in a
preceding murder case, and Mr. Burleigh
quietly asked the Court if such remarks
were in place in an opening speech.
Judge McCIung Interposes.
Judge McClung directed Mr. Marshall to
stick to his case. Zone murder trial at
time is enough, he added.
Miss Annie Garvin, called for the defense,
related many incidents in her brothers
life during the three months before the
that his mind was unhinged. One day be
started to go out into the street with his
head dripping with vaseline, which he said
ne had put on to prevent baldness-he has q
heavy head of hair. Another time he made
his little brother take his photograph in the
character of Napoleon, and during August
he had no less than four dozen photographs
of himself taken. These queer acts, the
witness said, followed Cora's departure to
Chicago. Frank Garvin ate very little after
he was married and seemed greatly worried
especially about bracelet with lock and
KEY which some other man had given his
wife.
Mrs. Edward Rahm, a modest and pretty
woman, stylishly dressed in a dark blue
walking dress and a black and blue hat,
was called to identify a number of letters
from her husband, Edward Rahm, to the
deceased, Cora Redpath Garvin. She rec
ognlzed the handwriting on about dozen
letters, which were at once offered in evil
dence. They are understood to include the
letters referred to by Mr.. Marshall in his
opening.
On the counsel table heap of other let
ters, supposed to be of the same character
but from other persons, remained after the
Rahm correspondence had been sorted out
To say that the spectators, especially the
women, took deep interest in this part of
the proceedings Is putting it mildly.
The other witnesses called before the
Court rose testified to the defendant s excel
lent character in the community. The wit
nesses were Paul {. Martin, C. A Balph,
John s. Ritenour, Patrick Kearns, j. K

THE LEADERS CONFER.

The Advisory Committees of the Strikers
Meet the National Oficers of the Anal.
gamated Association in q Long Confer
ence-The Result Is Yet in Doubt.
A most significant conference was held
yesterday at the Amalgamated Associa
tion's headquarters on Smithfeld street.
Not since the Homestead strike was de.
clared last June has there been so much ap.
parent uneasiness and evident lack of con.
tidence on the part of the leaders
as is now evidenced. In the face of the
greatest difficulties and when the Carnegie
Steel Company was apparently running
its mills satisfactorily with nom union men,
the strikers have maintained bold front,
but the time has now come, when, unless
all indications fail, the strike is approach
ing conclusion.
Early yesterday morning, the Advisory
Boards of the mills at Homestead, Law
renceville and Beaver Falls met in consult
alton with the national officers and remained
/ closely closeted with them until 10 o'clock
last night. All the leaders interested in the
struggle were present and the situation was
thoroughly discussed. The long continued
strike at the various plants of the Carnegie
firm has thrown so many men upon the
support of the order that it is thought to be
absolutely necessary that some definite and
fnal action be taken. The starting of the
Beaver Falls mills is exercising its infu-
ence. All these causes combined are hav-
ing an effect that is telling heavily on the
strikers.
After the conference the officers were
inclined to talk but little. and seemed to
take a serious view of the situation. Presi-
dent Garland, on being asked as to what
had been done, said: II can't see that there
is any special Significance to be attached to
this conference.
'sHas the strike been declared off?" was
asked.
''No, SIR"
SIS there probability of it being done
soon?"
as reports indicate that the men are as firm
as ever. To express it quickly, the sit
uation remains unchanged, and nothing
was done that will affect the strike
"Was the Sunday row at Homestead
discussed?'
Yes, sir, it was; but it is considered as
nothing but a common street fight and
worthy of little consideration. We will
pay little attention to it.
well, what was considered"
Nothing to be given out at present." he
replied, and the interview closed.
Chairman Crawford of the Homestead
ADVISORY Committee was seen as he was
about to take the train for Homestead. He
was apparently much worried, and received
the reporter with the remark: "What we
did to-day intend to keep to myself You
could talk to me for month and would
tell you nothing" and wheeling around he
walked away.

THEY BEAT THEIR PREACHER.
Fight in a Colored Church Causes Sew
eral Law Suits.

A Fight in a Colored Church Causes Sew
eral Law Suits.
AS the result of fight in the Colored
Baptist Church at the corner of Penn ave-
nue. and Fortieth street week ago Sunday
night, number of cross suits were brought
before Alderman Kerr yesterday. Joshua
Pryor entered suit agaisnt John jackson,
Charles jackson and James Willis for ag-
gravated assault and battery, and against
Willis for carrying concealed weapons
The two Jacksons entered suit against
PRYOR for assault and battery.
The stories told are very conflicting
The church has just been organ
lied; Pryor was chosen preacher,
the two Jackson brothers composed
the choir and Willis played the organ.
Pryor alleges that while he was in the
midst of his sermon, Willis started to play
the organ and the Jacksons to sing. When
he demonstrated, they took chairs and beat
him numerically and Willis pulled a
revolver and threatened TO kill him.
The Jacksons and Willis allege that
Pryor interrupted them in the midst OF a
hymn and because they did not stop he
attacked them, and they only acted in self
defense.
All gave bail for hearing Wednesday
evening.

Divines Think He Is Not Doing His Duty
Concerning immortality.
The q. P. ministers yesterday morning
labored with "Social Evils and Their Pro-
lection by Municipal Authorities" Rev.

Superintendent of Police O'Mara. He did

Another divine had this to say about
O'Mara: 'Pittsburg has got into the habit
of taking its medicine from Roger O'Mara.
Roger tells us to keep our mouths shut,
and we keep them shut. But we shouldn't
do it. We ought to talk about it early and
often to our congregations There is NO
use in talking of it here. "
The following resolution was adopted,
and will be presented to Mayor Gourley:
1--WE denounce the attitude OF our munich
pal authorities toward the social evil in
ough and immediate enforcement of the
law"
