THE HEDBERG MURDER.
Startling Accusations Made by Coun-
sci Yesterday.

sci Yesterday.
Chicago, April 20-Judge Grosscup
addressed the jury in the trial of Lieu
tenant Nancy today, telling them of the
court-martial of Captain Hedberg. That
court had said that the charges were
grave ones. The war department rec
ord, showing the defendants bravery,
was then introduced, and the defense
rested the case.
In rebuttal, the government called
Captain Humphreys, Lieutenant Cotter,
Lieutenant Harry Hirsch, Lieutenant
Jansen, all of the Fifteenth infantry.
All swore to the unreliability of the
words of Lieutenant Maxwell, witness
for the defense and stated they would
not believe him under oath.
The attorney for the defense objected
strongly to the testimony, claiming it
was the result of plot of Lieutenant
WEIGH, of Fort Sheridan, to prejudice
the jury.
The prosecution introduced the con-
gressional committee report on the
court-martial of Captain Hedberg, in
which the committee reported that the
captain had not had a fair trial
Ihe defense introduced evidence in
defense of Lieutenant MaxwelPs char
acter, and arguments then begun.
District Attorney Milchrist opened for
the government with lengthy speech.
Attorney Forrest, for the defense, Gre
ated a sensation this afternoon in his
argument in the Nancy trial. He not
only accused Attorney Milchrist, of the
prosecution, of unfair prejudices, but
spoke in strong insinuating terms of
what he called ''eXtraneous Influences
that had been brought to bear on the
jury and witnesses indirectly during
the progress of the case. The attorney
claimed that even the witnesses Of the
shooting had been influenced so as 10
change their testimony.

Mr.. Forrest openly charged that
Lieutenant G. B. Walsh, of the Fiji

Miraculous Escape.

New York, April 2O.-A special to the
World from Washington says the re-
port of Captain John Phillips, COM
manding the United States cruiser New
York, relating to defects in the con-
structions, said to have developed dur
ing the trip to Rio De Janeiro, has
just been received at the naval depart
ment
When Captain Phillips got to sea,
the report says, the forward turret was
rigid and could not be turned either to
port or starboard, while the aft turret
could be moved only ten degrees at a
time Ensign Dashie!, who is an expert
naval constructor, was set to work on
the engines used to turn the turrets
and by making certain alterations, sue
ceeded in working them very slowly,
but not quick enough for brilliant work
in action. Then the discovery was made
that the ammunition hoists were also
defective. During target practice an
attempt was made to hoist a big eight
inch shell to the forward turret gun.
The basket, which is said to be too
small, caught the drum at the top of
the lift and the big shell was thrown
out and plunged down the ammunition
shaft on top of the waiting prOjectiles.
The men shut their eyes in horror.
Nothing but a miracle, it seemed, could
save them and the great ship from be-
ing blown to smithereens by violent
explosion, but the lower shell had
shifted slightly by the snip and stood
in such a position that the curvitage of
the steel tubes came in contact just be-
fore the percussion caps met in their
deadly kiss and the ship was saved.
Later, the reports, say the magazine
of the eight-inch guns, it was found,
threatened the destruction of the ship.
The officer Of the deck was about to
move a quantity of smokeless powder
from the general magazine into those
reservoirs when he found that they
were heated to temperature of $50
degrees. Captain Phillip and Lieuten-
ant Mason were summoned to council
The two magazines were placed right
up against the fire holes of the ship
and thus rendered useless.

Chicago, April 2O.-The Western Pas
senger association lines were informed
today by General Passenger Agent
Goodman, of the Southern Pacific, that
they must fight his line as well as the
Union Pacific in the emigrant rate war.
His line today telegraphed a number
of the lines supposed to be in the head
Of the fight against the Union Pacific
that the Southern Pacific would de-
mand, after April %, it's full second
class rates from Ogden west.
This practically amounts to a de-
mand that all the connections of the
Southern Pacific, with the exception of
the Union Pacific, carrying passengers
from the Missouri river to Ogden for
nothing and then pay to the South
ern Pacific anywhere from S. to SO
for each passenger turned over by them
to the Southern Pacific.
The Chicago lines informed Mr.. Good
man that if his demand was insisted
upon, they would promptly throw all
their through emigrant business TO the
Atchison.
However. it is not likely that the
Southern Pacific will do as Mr.. Good
man says. Before war was declared on
the Union Pacific Mr.. Caldwell called
upon Assistant General Traffic Mana
ger Hawley. OF the Southern Pacific,
in New York, and after explaining to
him that the fight was in no sense
against the Southern Pacific obtained
from him promise that the Southern
Pacific would not NEEDLE in the row.
AS Mr.. Hawley outranks Mr.. Good
man, it is believed that the former S
words viii hold good.

HAD TO PAY TOLL.
A Dramatic Scene at a Maryland
Toll Gate.

Toll Gate.
Hagerstown, Md, April 2O.-The
march of the commonweaI over from
Williamsport, was made under favor
able circumstances.
The pike was dry, but dustless, all
the trees and fields green with the
recent rains and at one of the halts
by rustic pump, the ragged, hardened
looking crowd gathered beneath a
group of apple trees whose white
petals rained down upon them like a
midsummer snow, while the men
drank deep of the cold water, as though
they had never known any other bever-
age.
At the toll gate, d mile outside Of
HagerStoWn, there was a delay, the old
white-haired gate-keeper refusing to let
the army pass without paying tolls on
the horses.
Brown declared this was another
eXtortion of monopolists, and ordered
forward the flag. The old gateman
respectfully DOTTED his hat to the stars
and stripes, but shut down the bars on
the horsemen and carriages. The army
was forced to pay 81 cents toll. The
army was accompanied into town by a
onstantly-increasing crowd of cyclists,
horsemen and pedestrians, and the
march through Hagerstown to the
camp was relatively equal to an in
augural procession for Washington.
General Coxey left today for New
York, where ne will attend the sale of
some of his Kentucky thoroughbreds.
Besides this, he will try and arrange
with the railroads for excursion rates
to Washington for the demonstration
on May 1.
It is from this arrangement he ex-
poets to get the greater part of his
crowd for the parade in the city.
Should this plan succeed, he says there
will be no trouble in getting $4,000
people to Washington besides those al
ready on the way there.

THE LATEST STORY.
Tragedy May Not Be as Bad as at
First Reported.

st. Louis, April 2O.-A special to the
Republic from Perry, o. T., says: The
--latest news from the battle between the
Dalton gang and the posse of deputy
United States marshals is not as bad
as at first reported. A messenger named
Case arrived today from the vicinity
of the Twin Mountains, and reports a
fight, but the fatalities were not so
many as at first reported. 1t is net
certain that more than one person was
killed and a woman and little girl
wounded.
After leaving the Miller place, the
Daltons took refuge in James Dunn S
house, where a battle took place We'd

United States marshals and it is thought
Bill Dalton and Bill DOolan were both
killed, but the darkness prevented them
from learning this to a certainty. The
marshals are certain some of the band
were killed and a number wounded.
The Evening News here states that
both Bill Dalton and Doolan were killed
and carried off by their comrades. but
this cannot be confirmed tonight. The
latest reports say that Heck Thomas,

the territory, was also killed
