SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY.
Cotell 10 Confronted by the Star Witness
in the M urder Trial.

The promised sensation in the Cotell mur-
der trial developed when Flora A. Stone, the
youngest daughter OF the murdered Al
win and Serene Stone, was put on the
stand. It had been known that the girl, who
is only 16 years old, very pretty, retired and
modest In demeanor, had story to tell
which had not been made public.
She testified that the man who entered her
room the night of the murder attempted to
assault her, but before accomplishing his
purpose ran away, evidently scared by the
knowledge that he had been discovered. She
also swore that on each occasion when he
spoke she recognized the voice OF Cotell. On
previous occasions, when Cotell was working
for her father, he had attempted familities
with her.
The defense on cross-examination failed to
shake the testimony OF the girl. The fight
over the admission Of the confession Of CO.
tell, which was made under pressure from
officers, ended In its admission.

outfeider among the college players.

tight for the first place, with but little help

As II steady, everyday player and conscien-
tlous hustler, Smith, OF the Cincinnatis, Is the

though his work generally passes unnoticed
by the papers.
Thus early It has been plainly shown that
the pitchers can not stand the pace. They
are TOO heavily handicapped. This Is recog-
nized by everybody interested In the game,
and a change will surely be made In an.
other season.
A catcher's mask has been invented which
