DR.. .HEARNE'S TRIAL
Susie Hayward on the Stand With q
Startling Story.
MRS. STILLWELL'S ACTIONS
At One Time She Wanted to Leave
Her Husband. Then She
Changed Mind-Ths Case
q Sensational One.
MRS. STILLWELL's ACTIONS

Bowling Green. Mo-. Dec. ll-Nrs.
Susie Hayward was the first witness
to-day m the Hearne murder trial. She
testified that she visited DIR. Hearne's
Office once and saw Mrs. Stillwell come
out Of Hearne's room. Mrs. stillwell
admitted this and said her relations
with Hearne made her unhappy and
she would gladly break them on. but
Hearne had such influence over her
she could not break away from him.
"She asked me-" continued the wit
ness. IF I would go to DIR. Hearne and
ask him to have no more to do with
her. saying that IL he would give her
up she would give him up. The next
day at noon DR.. Hearne came to the
Stillwen house.
"T understand, he said to me, that
you know how matters stand between
u.s. i told him did. DR.. Hearne then
said: Well, the fact Is. I want Mrs.
Stillwell to get a divorce and marry
me- He said that IL she got a divorce
she would have alimony. I told him
that Amos Stillwell was not the kind
of a man ever to give his wife ALI
mony.
"'Do you really believe that7' he
asked Yes / answered. Well was
his answer. I could have Amos Still
well slugged for s2.50.'
'Dr. Hearne also spoke to me about
my knowledge OF the fact that Mr..
Stillwell had come home from St. Louis
the night when he was in the house.
Suppose Amos Stillwell had seen
you. what would you have doneY' I
asked.
II would have shot him. he said.
for murder told him. His reply was
that no one would ever suspect him;
that the public would think a burglar
did IT," The witness was then passed
over to the defense for cross-examina-
tion.
The REORGANIZATION. which was
begun at $3.50 o'clock. was not ended
for three hours. 1t did not shake her
original evidence. On her direct exam
ination by the state she said that she
had told nobody OF her conversation
with Dr. Hearne until six days after
the murder because she loved Mrs.
Stiliwell. and did not want her to get
into trouble. When she did tell Il, it
was to a friend. through whom Dick
Stillwell heard IL. and he came to her
and begged her TO be a witness.
Mrs. Hayward caused a sensation by
saying that q month before the MUIR
der she received q letter from Mrs.
Stillwell saying that she was very un-
happy and that she had consulted q
lawyer. Rufus Anderson. about getting
a divorce. while two days after the
murder Mrs. Hayward received anoth-
er letter from Mrs. Stillwell written on
the day before the night of the murder,
stating that her mind had undergone q
change. and that she then loved Mr..
Stillwell dearly and had concluded she
could live happily with him

San Francisco. Dec. 14.-Five San
Francisco seafaring men and ten other
Americans are supposed to be held at
Saghalien prison by the Russian au-
thorities for prohibitory fishing In
Siberian waters. The five San Fran
ciscoans are Of a party of seal hunters
that left here about one year ago on
the steamer City of Peking to Join
John Kennan's fishing crew that has
headquarters at Kakodate and Yoko-
hama. The men missing are: Frank
Peterson. James Maloney. Steve Bren-
nan. r. Sheehy and Ned Howe. In ad-
dition to these men. in whom local in
terest will naturally center. are the 10
American seamen and hunters-John
Ross, James McCarty. John Riley. r.

Lankin, Alexander Loricke. c. L. Mel
son and X. Ericcsen. Two of the party
seized by the Russians and hurried TO
Saghalien prison are said to be British
subjects. They are c. Campbell and A.
Minger.
The Russian penalty for fishing In
the waters of the coast of Saghalien
island and Siberia is Imprisonment for
life In the island prison where no man
can hope to escape the persecution of
petty tyrants and the abuses OF laws
that govern tyranny. The men under
arrest have undoubtedly trespassed on
Russia's alleged territory, but there is
some question as to the Jurisdiction of
the czar over the island Herman has
appealed to the secretary Of state at
Washington In behalf of his men, ask
ing the Intervention of the United
States government. The men were on
the schooner Saipan when she was
seized by the Russians.
