He demanded that the referee should
stop the competition at once and threaten

THE eIlRERy TRIAL.
Attempt 10 Take Trial from Present Jury
hotion Denied-latest Evidence.

Boston, June 27.-A sensation was
sprung, this morning. at the trial of
Angus ID. Gilbert for the murder of s.
years old Alice NJ Sterling, when Counsel
Doherty filed motion to take the case
away from the jury.
The motion was based upon the ex-
CARNATIONS made, yesterday afternoon, by
Mrs. Alice Sterling mother OF the girl, in
the presence OF the jury, in which she
said:
THAT man has killed my Mamie. He
murdered her. That is the murderer of
my little Mamie"
Mr.. Doherty claimed that the outbreak
must have affected the minds of the jury
and that they therefore cannot give an
impartial verdict.
Alter argument the court denied the
motion, saying that care would be taken
in the charge to the jury that no considera-
ton to Mrs. SteIling's ordinations
should be given by jurors. An exception
was noted by the defence and the trial
was resumed.
The jury was called in and the defence
called James Gilbert the first witness.
He said he is uncle of the defendant and
he told of certain instances of peculiar
conduct and strange remarks made by the
prisoner.
Another uncle of the defendant, on his
mothers side. testified that his sister, an
aunt Of defendant, is insane, and has been
in the asylum 25 years. He also said that
two first cousins of the defendant are
idiots.
]. D. Bayer, Allison Brown and James
Gilbert, the last a brother of the prisoner,
all from Nova Scotia, gave testimony as
to the mental iDfirmities of the prisoners
relations.
Jennie Gilbert the prisoners sister,
testified to an attack of grip which her
brother had some six months ago and to
his subsequent gloomy state of mind. At
one time he said that if his head did not
get better he would shoot himself.

MUCH DISAPPOINTED
Al Oxford and Cambridge Over Declining Of
Their Challenge by Harvard.

London, June 27.-In an interview, X.
S Hcran, president of the Cambridge
University Athletic Association, stated
answer had been received He said that
before Ok ord and Cambridge conferred,
weeks ago, they tried challenge from the
University of Pennsylvania in behalf of
the united universities of the United
States. Oxford, however, felt bound to
Yale in consequence of meeting the Yale
team. the previous year. The matter
ended In challenge being sent to Yale
and Harvard, which was more agreeable
to Cambridge, who, like Oxford, regarded
them as the two representative colleges of
the United States.
cit was purely friendly challenge be-
tween the universities, Mr.. Koran added,
land was in no wise International Ii it
was international we should have had to
include Edinburgh, Dublin, Durham and
other universities We only wanted con-
test of the four universities. Our friends
on the other side seem to quite misunder-
stand this. We are very keen to have the
meeting and sincerely grieve because of
the threatened failure"
When pressed to say if the plans could
not be altered to include the University
of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Koran, without
entering into details, said: ave could
not go back on our original proposal.
Harvard's reply, declining tho challenge,
WAS issued by Oxford, late tonight. A
representative Of the United Press. before
the reply Of Harvard declining the chal-
lenge was made public here, interviewed
I. 4. Scott. the champion hurdle racer,
and an old senior of :he Oxford Athletic
Club. Referring to the alleged difficulties

tackle the Americans in their own style
aud would be glad to try something new.
If the reply to tho challenge is in the mega
tive, all the university men here will be
sadly disappointed.
Mr.. Scott thought II Yale alone should
the Oxford club, the latter
would accept and send team to America.
II Harvard and Yale could not come to
terms, he believed there was no possibility
of Il meeting of the combined Cambridge
aud Oxford team against the team Of any
two American universities, as the univer-
sity men here consider that only Harvard
