ters in evidence.
Mrs. Howell was on the witness stand
for nearly two hours. most Of that time
under cross examination. She stood
the ordeal well. her answers being COM
prehensive and clear. She Is an intel
on a single point, although her cross
examination was rigid. Her direct tes-
tinony was mainly in regard to her
relations with Miss Elizabeth Knapp,
which. she said. had always been pleas
ant and affectionate. Mrs. Howell
identified an anonymous letter which
had been received by her, and which
was put in evidence. The letter admit
ted the stealing of bundle Of letters
from the Howell residence and said that
the writer had decided not to burn them.
but to use them, as the writing paper
was good. This, the defense thinks. Is
a strong point to account for the return
OF four of Miss Knapps letters with the
pencilled notes upon them through the
Howell house window.
Frank Knapp was called for cross
examination by the commonwealth. He
was asked II he was not bribed to come
here and testify for the defense by on
offer Of a situation at u good salary
with the Dutton Brothers (Mrs. How
ellis brothers) In New York. He denied
this emphatically, but later admitted
that Mrs. Howell had asked him last
Thursday how he would like to go to
New York to be employed by her broth
ers. At this point court adjourned.

FREIGHT CHARGES.
Interesting Matter in Forthcoming Re
pOrt of the Dureau of Railwnvs

Interesting Matter in forthcoming Re-
port Of the Bureau OF Railways
Harrisburg. Pa, Dec. S.-Among other
Interesting matter In the forthcoming
report Of the bureau Of railways will
be q chapter on freight charges. 1t
will show q great reduction in rates by
the railroads Of Pennsylvania. There
has been a gradual reduction Of rates,
except in the case Of the Philadelphia
and Reading. which managed to keep
up ITS charges last year to 1925 of q
cent per ton per mile. In 1894 the rate
per ton per mile in the United States
was $780, The report will dwell upon
the reduction Of freight charges and
the advantages to shippers while the
income Of the bondholder and stock
holder has been steadily decreasing in
the same proportion, the betterments Of
the transportation facilities bringing no
Improvement in the way Of receipts.
The total outstanding stock capitali-
cation Of steam railways of Pennsyl-
vania reported to the department Is
s94c. c.312950. The funded or bonded debt
Ia $3.50. .2s4,639. making a total stock and
funded Indebtedness of 81. .90s. .597, ,4S0. in
dependent Of current liabilities, which
are reported at s123.9O7.6S The cap
italication Of the Pennsylvania Is s129,-
200. 7b0. and the funded debt $7S.SO5. $40.
While the Philadelphia and Reading
has a smaller stock capitalization than
any Of the five leading companies mem
toned in the report. it has bonded in
debtedness far In excess Of any of them.
One-flfth Of the total capitalization OF
ten billions In the United States is rep
resented by the roads reporting to this
department.

The signal was sounded and the eight
officers congregated close to a car,

removing as much merchandise as they
could load into a wagon close by.
When the wagon had been filled the
three men mounted to the seat and
drove to a house about quarter Of a

Harry Hayward Becomes Violent When
Informed OF Ills Approaching Doom.
Would Like to Cut Adry's Heart OUT
Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. S.-When
Harry Hayward heard the news of his
doom from Sheriff Blombery yesterday.
he did not lose his great nerve and at
once entered into a violent denuncia-
ton of his brother Adry.
That's long time to wait for a
railroad train," he said, when the sheriff
Informed him that his death warrant
had been fixed for execution Wednes-
day.
IF you are in the depot, 1t Is a long
time" rejoined the sheriff, but you are
on the track for eternity. You have u
good many things to consider before
Wednesday; you have little time left to
stay here
II know I have little time,'' said
Harry. There are few things I would
like to straighten out. and few folks
l would like to get even with. II I
had my brother Adry here. would
tear his entrails out and stretch them
like a clothes line back and forth
through this cell. am not quite so
mad at Blixt as folks think, but II my
father, mother and brother Dr. Hay
ward) were dead, would be the hap
piest man in the world"
well, Harry" the sheriff broke in.
II see you have some sympathy left
in you yet"
mo" said Harry, II have. not any
sympathy, but feel where there ought
to be some"
Hayward then dictated a statement,
Of which the following is an extract:
"A short time is just as good as longer
time and am as ready now as ever
shall be. had rather be hung than go
to saltwater for life. II the governor
would come over here and talk with me
would tell him something. have had
a good time here and will have good
time yet. / have no kick coming. They
ought to 60 back to the old times. Peo-
pie are too soft-hearted now. II I had
Adry here, would put his eyes out and
cut his heart out and I would have
Blixt look on them, would cut them
up and throw them to the dogs. I am
not made of milk and water" Turning
to the sheriff at this point, Hayward
asked:
II have right to invite three persons
in to see the hanging, haven't II"
On being told that he had, he said:
I'D have the Dalton brothers, Bill
Cook and Cole Young, and I'd give 'em
two good revolvers apiece"

SCHOOL. BURNED,
Destruction Of Chamberlain Institute at
Randolph, N. Y.

Destruction Of Chamberlain Institute at
Randolph. N. Y.
Bradford, Penn, Dec. ga dispatch
TO. the Sunday Herald, from Randolph,
N. Y, says: while students Of Cham
berlain institute were at supper in the
brick boarding hall, at $50 o'clock last
evening fire was discovered in the
cupola of the main building. A high
wind gave the flames such headway
that the fire department, which was on
the scene in five minutes. was power
less. The flames communicated with
chapel, and all burned to the ground.
The buildings were situated on a hill,
and the water pressure was very light.
Much Of the chapel furnishings and
goods Of roomers In the main building
were saved. Many Of the students had
narrow escapes, but no one received Sc
rious injury
"Chamberlain institute was erected in
1S4S. and has been preparatory school
for hundreds of western New York and
Pennsylvania men and women. The in
stitute was under the management of
the Methodist Episcopal conference,
with Professor e. A. Bishop, as presi-
dent. It will probably be rebuilt at
once. The burned structure was
frame one, and the loss will be about
$4,000; insurance, $5,000."
