EMMA WOODS DEFENSE.
Her Story of the killing of Lew Brown.
Hor Paramour.

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. 1s-Emma Woods,
who is on trial for the murder OF Lew
Brown, was placed on the stand, She said
that she was born In Montclair In 1861.
Her maiden name was Riker. She was II
years Of age when her son. Harry Ingalls,,
was born. He was the son of her en-
ployer, Phillip N. Ingalls,, and was born
out OF wedlock.
She first met Brown in 1892 but had
never lived with him nor had anything 10
do with him until after his wife's death.
She had never carried a pistol. On the day
OF the shooting her son informed her that
Brown threatened to kill her, and she Sc
cured the revolver to prevent him carrying
out his threat.
When Brown came home he met her
with abuse. knocked her down, beat her
and cursed her. He took the revolver from
her and held 1t In one hand while he held
her with the other. She described the
tussel for the revolver in graphic manner
and told how the revolver went of in the
struggle.
The witness spoke in a voice broken with
sobs, but recovered presently and went on
She told Of awakening the boy, and him
going to the saloon for help. "Did you
shoot for Lew Brownr asked Senator
Barret, her counsel, slowly and impress
sively. "Is the way you have just de-
scribed the true way in which Low Brown
met his deathf" at Is, before God and
man." was the answer

At Z O'Clock, when it was broad daylight,
the front door of the Mariners Joy opened,
and Putty came out and took down the
shutters. He had not IA scratch on his face.
While he was thus engaged Drigo ap

BELLEFoNTE, Pa, Oct. 1s.-The climax
has been reached in the Presbyterian
church here over the question of the use
of fermented wine for sacramental pur-
pose;, About twenty members, including
two elders, refused to partake of the wine.
on the ground that its being fermented
rendered Its use improper. The past
Rev. William Laurie, advocates the use
fermented wine. The opposition to use OF
fermented wine comes largely from the
members Of the Society of Christian En-
deavor. This question was up before the
presbytery two weeks ago, and although
45 out of the IS churches are now using
unfermented wine for sacramental pur-
poses, yet when it came to vote here the
advocates of the fermented Juice won,
