BERRY WAS TOO VIOLENT
This Conclusion Formed by Justice
Buroh in the Murder Case.
Ncwsen's Slayer Hell din 81 900 Bonds
to y waitthe Action ofthe
Grand Jury.

Louis II. Berry. the slayer OF James II.
Newsen, an ex-doOrkeepgr OF the House
of Representatives, was given "a preIimi-
nary bearing yesterday afternoon before
Justice Burch, at GaTlins' Springs, where
the killing took place last Thursday night,
as told in The Times Of yesterday morning.
At the conclusion of the hearing Justice
Burch decided that Berry had used unnec-
essary violence in administering the blow
with the baseball bat that ended Newsen's
life, and held him in $4,000 bonds to await
the action OF the grand jury which meets
next September. Mrs Margaret Carter, at
whose house the affair happened, became
his surety and Berry was released from
custody.
F. L. Smith, of Alexandria, was counsel
for Berry, and endeavored to show that the
blow had been struck only when his client
thought his life in danger. The deceased,
he said, was advancing towards Berry,
evidently with u weapon of some kind con-
cealed in his hand, and after warning him,
and striking him once in ende avoring merely
to keep him off, Berry was compelled to
administer the blow that caused Newsen's
death.
While the majority of the residents of
the Springs and neighborhood sympathiZe
with Berry, there are many who think
with Justice Burch that he used more force
than was necessary. His friends are
numerous, however, and all are confident
of his ultimate acquittal.
Acting upon telegraphed instructions
from Newsen's brother in Memphis, the
body was shipped to that city last night
by Undertaken Campbell. of Georgetown.
Newsen was an appOintee of eX-Door-
keeper Turner, who is now one of the
counsel for the defense III the safe rob-
berry case on trial in the Grimm al court here.
He was bright and well educated man.
and a member of one of the best Ten
nessee families. Always affable and at
tractive, when not under the influence of
liquor, he made a host of friends. Drink
was his ruin, however, and when in its
grip he was the reverse of his usual self.
Several weeks ago he was discharged for
indulging in his weakness, and since then
up to the time of his tragic end he had
been drinking heavily His mother, who
also resides in Memphis, is quite wealthy,
and furnished him with remittances out
side of his salary.
Mrs Newsen, Mrs Marquette or Kuhn
ard, and her little daughter are still at the
Hotel Enrich, where they went on the
night the killing occurred. There seems
TO be some dobt among several friends Of
the deceased as to whether he and the
alleged Mrs Newsen were really mar
ried Mrs. Marquette or Kuhnard is the
Wife of j. l.. kuhnard, milk dealer in
Sou theast Washington. The two have
been separated for some time, however,
and the husband supports the child, but
does not contribute anything toward his
wife'S maintenance.
Mrs Newsen claims, however, that she
and Newsen have been married two years,
and that they always lived together during
that time until she left him Thursday
night.

GAME WORTH SEEING.

Mines of Saks & Co. and Robinson,
Cherry d Co. VIII Play Ball.
The greatest of all great games OF
ball that has ever been played since base
ball was invented will be played at Cap
itol Park on July 4. The opposing teams
are gentlemen from the stores of Robin
son, Cherry s. Co. aud A. Saks & Co.
There is going to be the livliest kind
of hustle and hosts of friends, patrons,
and fellow-clerk have secured comph-
mentary cards for the game.
Robinson, Cherry & Co.'S people say that
they are going to knock the buttons off the
ball. while the Saks faction are daily using
some kind of limbering-up liniment, or
anti-stiff, preparatory to losing the leather
covered sphere in some locality far off
from the scene of operations.
This promises to be a hot battle, for
on the result depends the much-coveted,
honor-laden clothing championship of the
District.
Two brave men in the persons OF the ad-
vertisers OF the two firms were found to
umpire the game Complimentary cards
for the game may be obtained at either of
the two stores.

MONEY QUESTION.

While the Free-Trade party in
{ congress is endeavoring TO make
the people believe that demand
exists for change in our currency
system, it is we'll to remember that
the present system has been in
force for long term Of years, and
that it was in force in 1892, the
period of greatest prosperity in
American history. 1t is true that
the people-the wage-earners in
particular-are in need of a cur
rency that will be elastic enough
TO make the dollar which they
only earn now have the same pur-
chasing power as the two dollars
that they were earning few years
ago under Protection. The trou-
biz with the Treasury Department
is not SO much with the currency
as with its revenue system, which
would again be adequate to meet
IT'S expenditures II PrOteCtlOn were
RESI- ored. The present Administra-
ton and the Free-Trade Congress,
while not caring in the least
whether the wage-earners of the
country were busy or idle, have
forgotten all along to take into
consideration the fact that the idle
ness of the people means the
absence of prosperity for the coun-
try, hich in its turn must affect
the condition of the National
Treasury. Restore Protection. re-
store prosperity. and thereby re-
store circulation of currency among
the wage-earners and sufficiency
of funds for our national require
ments.

POLITICAL INFORMATION.
MADISON, January p.

MADISON, January p.
During the past week the law
makers got down to the active
work Of the session, and bills and
resolutions came in about as fast
as they could be attended to.
Many Of them, however, related
merely to the makeup of the two
Houses, the employment or non
employment of clerks, stenogra-
pliers and attendants, and the like.
On Friday the senate held a
session of but a few minutes,
which was devoted to a discussion
of the matter of adjournments.
Most of the members Of each
House do not seem to think it adj
visable 10 shorten the session any
by neglecting to 60 home each
week to consult with their con-
stituents, and are content to devote
only Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday to active work at
the capitol.
