In rebuttal with view to showing that he
had never said or done anything that would
lead the Millikens to think that he intended
to abandon the prosecution of the case.
Maj. Jas. M. Watts also testified as to a
visit he made to Judge Phillips in the In
terest of the defendant
The government then introduced in1 evil
dence the letter which the defendant took
with him and sent up to Miss Phillips on
the evening Of July 4. 1t was as follows:
Dear Gertrude-I return you your pres
ents and hope that you Will receive as much
pleasure from them as I did. Very sincere
ly yours, B. H. M"
Prayers of the Defendant.
This closed the evidence in the case. and
at o'clock the defense submitted their
prayers. The most interesting question in
! volved was the amount of Importance the
jury should attach to the theory Of drunk
enness and the evidence which had been
introduced as to Millikens condition that
night.
Mr.. Birney contended that drunkenness
was not palliaton for the offense so long
as the intent was present. Furthermore,
he did not believe that the evidence in this
case showed that the defendant was so
drunk as not to know perfectly well what
he was doing that night
Judge Goode said that he did not think
for moment Of drunkenness as an excuse
for crime, but drunkenness and its effect
necessary element in the constitution OF
the offenSe charged.
Judge Cole said that he was inclined to
agree with the defense as to the propriety
of submitting the matter to the jury in a
case like this. where intent is material
ingredient. The jury, he said, was entitled
to the weight of all the evidence, tend
ing to show whether or not the defendant
was capable of forming an intent. If he
was drunk, but capable of forming the in
tent. he was just as guilty or just as inno-
cent as If he was sober
Want to Finish.
Both sides expressed their desire that
the case might be concluded during the
Gay. and at 2:25 o'clock Mr.. Tracy l.. JEFF
fords opened for the government. In COM
mencing. he referred to this as one of the
saddest cases that had ever come before
their notice. In most cases there is some
disagreement of testimony on some of the
material points.
In this case there seemed to be no such
disagreement No one denied that the
defendant was in the house. The statutes
upon the subject of housebreaking. In the
daytime a lock or bolt must be picked or
broken, but in the nighttime the mere
presence of the person within the house Is
sufficient; it is not necessary to show how
he made his entrance, or even that he
forced an entrance.
In the present case the facts were clear,
and the only question before the jury was
that Of intent, and intent can only be as
certained from the mans actions.
Mr.. Jeffords was followed by Mr.. An
thony. for the defense He had not COM
pleted his address when The Stars report

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, March 19.-An effort was
made to advance prices this morning on a
higher London Opening. but the extreme
rarrowness of the market resulted i'm
early abandonment of optimistic aggres-
siveness. Rumors Of an important an
houncement relative to certain of the dip
lomatic questions now in various stages of
solution caused some selling for the short
account. Ii is not considered probable that

apparent, the outcome Of which will remain
in doubt for several days perhaps. The

In the railway list the changes recorded
were only fractional, and were not the re-

prospects continue encouraging. and any

morrow will in all probability result in un-
important fluctuations unless the Cuban
matter should assume an unexpected phase
or come up for speedy action.

NEW MEXICO NEXT.
a Report Favoring Her Admission
Next Year.

Senator Davis, chairman OF the committee
on territories, today presented the report OF
that committee on the admission of New
Mexico as a state. The report sets forth
the resources of the territory, gives the pop
ulation. the number of schools, post offices.
ETC.. and adopts the report made to the
Senate in the last Congress. A new para
graph is added, giving the best estimate
possible or the pror osition of residents OF
the territory of Mexican birth or derva-
ton.
The committee says that exact informa-
ton IS unobtainable, but expresses the
opinion t,at about half of the population
fall within this class. 1t concludes how
ever, that the MeXicans do not cast one
half of the votes in the territory, because
a majority of the Americans are new ar
rivals, unaccompanied by their families.
giving them a larger proportion of voters
than among the MeXcans. The bill is
amended so as to fix the election for the
adoption of the proposed constitution not
earlier than the first Tuesday in November.

question as to whether the Cubans had

He insisted, however, that the resolution
should be in joint form, which would make
1t respor sible in character, and that 1T
should be temperate in tone and in diplo-
matte form. 1t appeared, however, that
temperate utterance was not in accordance
with the popular demand, and IL appeared
that Congress was attempting to meet this
demand. He had had no objection to the
Senate resolution, except that it was con-
current, and not joint in form.
