He Related 10 the Jury How He Killed
Lena Gross at Brightwood

Taking Of testimony was completed yes
terday in the trial OF James L. Travers for
the murder Of Lena Gross, at Brightwood,
November l9 last, and Mr. Jeffords made
the opening argument for the government.
An accidental killing by a half -witted
man, who was trying to defend himself
against woman who controlled him, is
the case which ex-Congressman Hart and
Mr.. Alex Wolf tried 10y argument and
evidence to make out in the presentation
of their side Of the case.
Mr Hartmadc the address TO the jury, out
lining this defense. Their principal wit
nesses were the defendant. his father,
Moses Robinson. and Charles Gathers.
Others who Were put upon the stand were
NJ. NJ. Holland. Harry Shamwen, Harry
MattinEiy, Hugh Waters. Thomas German,
Walter HardOn. Daniel johnson, William
Reynolds, William Cook, Oscar Tanz.
Thomas Whitley. John Green, Lewis
Carroll. George Albert. and James Bryan.
Trayers, on the stand. in answer to his
attorneys, said he went to work early No
vember 10; Lena Gross followed him into
CrOnin's woods. near Mrs RobinSon'S
asked him for 80 cents to buy a dress 10 go
to church When he would not give il TO
her she drew a razor and made a dash at
him, but he kept her off. Then she sat
down near him. put up her razor, and
finally called hum to her.
he went. and she arose and asked him to
kiss her. As they had their arms about
each other lie noticed she had the razor out
again and hit her on the head with his fist.
A struggle ensued, in which he grasped the
wrist OF her hand holding the razor As
they fought their hands passed back and
forth between them. He first knew she
was cut when he felt the warm blood on his
hand
John Trayers, the father, testified that
his wife had been weak-minded.
The other " illnesses testified TO Travers
previous good character. and that he was
duIl and absent minded.
Mr.. Jcffords, in his address, said the
routine facts of time, place, and identity
OF person, and the killing were admitted.
II only remained for the government to make
clear that il was not accidental nor in self
defense. The confession and the evidence
showed il was neither.
Attorneys Hart and Wolf will occupy this
morning with argument for defense. and
Mr.. Birney viii close the case The defense
VIII probably bring out strongly the lack of
evidence OF malice. and hope for verdict

Berlin, March 14.-The Reichsanzeiger,
Official publishes report Of the proceed
ings of the state council.
1t says that the council has approved
proposals to raise the price of sugar, which
were submitted by the reporter of the COM
mittee, who said that the depressed con-
dition of the sugar industry was due to
over-production, and that it could not be
dealt with by international arrangements.
The sole remedy, it was added, lay in
an increase of the bounties paid for sugar
exports, and in order to provide the means
for this they must raise the excise duties
on consumption and take measures to re-
strict the output with the. view of prevent
ing excessive demands upon the treasury

that the wonderful record of cures of cid,
deep-seated, chronic and nervous diseases
that is being made by DR.. Walker almost
surpasses belief cases that have baffled
the skill of large number of doctors are
constantly yielding to his treatment, and
the statements of grateful patients he has
cured, which are constantly being pub
lisned in the daily papers. are enough to
convince the most skeptcal OF his wonder
full skill.
Mr.. Joseph A Shoemaker is q Grand
Army veteran, who served during the war
in Company X, Twenty third Ohio In
fantry president Hayes Regiment), and
who has resided in washington six years,
being an employe of the War and Navy
Division OF the Pension Office. He resides
