THE. GODDARD MURDER
The Defense Springs Sensation in
Court

COuTC
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dec. AIT the re-
sumption Of the murder trial of DR.. JEFF
ferson d. Goddard this morning Attor-
new Watson for the defense sprung
sensation when, addressing Judge Lon
gan, he said:
eve claim that the checks which the
prosecuting attorney says Goddard stole
from the body ofJackson and were taken
from this defendant at the police sta
tion, and then disappeared, are In the
possession of the prosecuting attorney"
The statement surprised both Judge
and counsel, and Prosecutor Lowe
seemed astounded. The jury was retired
at Watson's request while the defense
filed and argued motion ordering Pros
ecutor Lowe to produce the checks.
A lively word-battle ensued between
Lowe and Watson and Judge Longan
finally ordered the prosecution to pre-
sent the checks. They aggregated $4,000
and were made payable to DR.. Goddard.
They were passed to the defendant,
who, after glancing them over, hastily
exclaimed with excitement: ''They are
forgeries; they are forgeries!"
In each instance, save one, the alleged
signature of Mrs. Jackson was differ
ent from the known original.
The checks had heretofore been with
held, although the State only closed its
side yesterday.
At the conclusion of the incident, At
torney Watson opened his argument for
the defense.
The State had tried to show that Mrs.
jackson had given large sums of her
husbands money to Goddard.

miles from Greensboro, that John Sing
ley, wealthy farmer, was called from
his house last night by a negro named

killed Mrs. Singley, cutting her throat,
and also Dallas Singley, 10-year-old
son. He then robbed the house of $500.
Mr.. Singley is still alive but cannot re-
cover. He was able to tell the story.
A posse is searching for the negro and

ASKS COURT MARTIAL
TO BRING THE DREYFUS FACTS
TO TIE LIGHT
The Dreyfus-Esterhazy Sensations
Have Almost Reached the
Stage Of Dueling

Count Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy,
the French army officer charged with
having written the letter that led to the
Imprisonment on Devils Island of Capt.
Alfred Dreyfus, has written letter to
Gen. Pellieux, who was appointed to in
vestigate the charges against him, pro-
testing against what he says are calum-
niles, and demanding an investigation by
court martial in order that the most COM
plete light may be thrown upon the
facts and reparation made him.
The Gaulois says it learns that the
report of Gen. PellieuX to Gen. Blllot,
the minister of war. is unfavorable to a
revision of the sentence upon Dreyfus,
and completely exonerates Count Ester
hazy.
LIE Soir says that as O result of Gen.
Pellieux's report, Comte Esterhazy will
be prosecuted for actions and letters un-
worthy a French officer. but quite un-
connected with the Dreyfus case.
DREYFUS' DEFENSE
PARIS, Dec. 2.-The Patrie this eve
ming says it understands at the last mo-
ment the friends of Alfred Dreyfus, the
prisoner Of Devils Island, will produce
further documents, consisting of letters
from Gen. Gonso, high staff officer, to
Col. Piquart in support of the disgraced
officers case.
A CROP OF DUELS
NEW YORK, Dec. "A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says: 1t will be a
wonder If the Dreyfus- Esterhazy af-
fair is not productive Of a crop of duels.
Several Of the Paris newspapers are
fighting one against the other like XII
kenny cats. and personalities are flying
around broadcast.
The editor of an evening paper
has called the editor of a morning jour-
nal al manner of names, and even sug-
gestei that the latter is not entitled to
the name he bears. This has caused the
publication of a certificate of birth by
the editor of the morning paper, where
at the evening returns to the charge by
asking the morning paper editor how he
served his country in 1870
Even Emile Zola has been dragged in
to the quarrels. He has contributed an
article to Figaro arguing that if Drey-
fus' relations have formed a syndicate
to secure newspaper support, they were
only doing what they had perfect
right to do. The journal now asks how
much Zola received for the article.
The Figaro makes out a strong case,
for L, terhazy's writing has been COM
pared by experts with the memorandum
said to be Dreyfus', it having been stated
that General Pollieux had no intention
of making this comparison. The Figaro
says this is the capital point of the in
quiry and cites opinions of jurists. con-
suls and journalists.

AN ARMY OF TROOPS ON HAND
AND MORE THAN MARTIAL LAW
IN FORCE
Few German Houses Escape Attack,
and Twenty Stores Have Been
Sacked and Burned
Associated Press Special Wire.

PRAGUE, Dec. 2.-There were fur
ther eXcesses today at Weinberg. The
police were obliged to use their revolv-
ers. A house in Alstadersing was
wrecked, and the pillagers were dis
persed by a mounted patrol.
The Ambulance association has issued
report showing that within the last
twenty-four hours four persons have
been killed, $50 dangerously wounded,
and 500 more or less seriously injured.
Twenty shops have been burned out.
AS further indication of the gravity
Of the situation, troops to the number OF
10000, equipped with ammunition and
other paraphernalia, as for campaign
have been engaged In suppressing the
riots.
1t Is not exactly martial law that has
been proclaimed, but rather the instltu-
tion of summary civil procedure, called
standreicht, whereby a special tribunal
Of seven judges is empowered to impose
capital and other severe sentences for
offenses ordinarily punished mildly
There is no appeal against death SEN
tence by the tribunal, which must be put
into execution within two hours by the
military II the hangman Is not available
The intimate knowledge the mob has
displayed of the exact position of all the
wealthiest German houses, and of val
liable German property, show that the
riots were organized in advance.
The young Czechs have paraded the
streets wearing plundered jewelry, and
comparatively few German houses have
escaped attack.
Further troops are being drafted into
Prague from Vienna and elsewhere, and
tomorrow there will be at least 12,O)o
soldiers in the city and it's suburbs.
THE CABINET CRISIS
VIENNA, Dec. 2.-The parliamentary
deadlock continues. Baron Gautsch
the new premier has made no progress

ported from innsbruck, Brunn, Linsz

that the disturbances have been encour-
aged by the municipal authorities.
Generally the Bohemian Jews have
suffered most.
A report is current tonight, though as

attacked the soldiers, and sanguiilary
encounter ensued. According to the

ROASTED HIS LEG
Not to Eat but to Cure a
Sprain

BERKELEY, Dec. 2.-E. B. Hinman,
a sophomore in the University Of Cali
fornia, had his left leg baked in an oven
at a temperature of 300 degrees Fab
renheit to cure a sprain. This is eighty
eight degrees higher than the tempera-
ture of boiling water, and twice the heat
at which meat is ordinarily roasted for
the table. The sprain disappeared with
wonderful rapidity. The injured limb
was treated in a specially prepared ap-
paratus of a copper cylinder, resting on
iron supports, with gas burner under
meath. Humans leg was wrapped in
absorbent cotton and placed in the cylin-
der, with non-conducting rubber bags
closing the interior, so that the hot air
could not escape. After three bakings
the sprain was entirely cured.

Russia Proposes to Eclipse the Whole

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The navy de-
partment has received information to
the effect that Russia Is about to become
possessed of three new torpedo boats
that will easily be the fastest war craft
in the world. capable of the enormous
speed of thirty-eigh knots per hour,
with every probability Of making forty
knots when pressed. This great speed
demands greater power than can be sup
piled by ordinary engines, SO that the
boats will be driven by steam turbines,
having four separate shafts with three
screw propellers on each shaft. The
contract for the three boats has already
been placed with an English firm. The
high speed requirement Is based upon the
wonderful performance Of the little
Turbina, which has run at the rate of
nearly forty miles per hour.

shelf is placed resting on the cleats or
strips of wood, and the bracket is
screwed to the box and the shelf to the
cleats. Thus securely fastened the shelf
becomes immovable, and there is not
the slightest danger of its slipping or
tipping.
A work table can be made of any or
binary square topped table one may
happen to have, or small kitchen table
with legs painted white is even better,
as one may drive tacks into its wood
without conjunction.
The illustration shows how the table
is covered with mating, with flaps
hanging from it's four sides. These
flaps are turned up at the bottom to
form pockets for papers, magazines
or sewing. The tea box mating will be
found best for this use, and any folds
or creases may be pressed out OF 1T by
Just dampening the mating, then
spreading it out and placing on top fiat
boards and heavy weights. When the
mating is dry it will be smooth and
fiat. The pockets can be made to cling
closely to the flaps by pressing in this
way. The edges of the mating are
bound with turkey red cotton.
How convenient such a bepocketed
little stand must be anyone who has
tried to keep her possessions together
when enjoying a breezy day on the
piazza will understand.

caused by an inhaimed condition of the

rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can

ROSE JAR SWEETS.
Two Recipes fer Making Fragrant
and Spicy PotDourri.

Two Recipes fer Making fragrant
and Spicy Potpourri.
Gather fresh rose leaves in thorough
ly dry weather and pace them III
large, covered. glazed earthenware jar,
Between each layer of leaves sprinkle
some common table salt and cover up
the jar tightly after each layer of leaves
is put in it. Do this throughout the
summer. The rose leaves will sink and
allow of great quantity being put in.
When the jar is fu.l let it stand for
about fortnight, then thoroughly
squeeze the leaves from the salt with
the hand, and add the following: One
ounce each Of stcraX AID ben1oin, two
ounces of orris root and one ounce OF
ailspice-all these to be we'll powdered;
one dram eacn ofDergamot, oil of cassia.
and Gil of lavender, and two ounces of
cloves. Mix all these ingredients well
together ard thoroughly incorporate
the same with the rose leaves. Fill
large china jars. Lavender may be
dried by Itself and added to the rose
leaves; also sweet-scented petals of
the white jasmine, orange flower
blossoms. and other flowers. But these
must all be simply dried in the sun and
mixed with the rose leaves before the
scent is added. If these directions are
carefully followed the result will prove
most satisfactory.

ing directions for filing rose jar:

then salt. and so on until all are used.
Let them remain three days in some
apartment free from sunshine and I'M
disturbed by the wind, stirring and
turning twice each day. Add an ounce
and a half of dry allspice and half an
ounce of stick cinnamon, broken into
pieces. Let this stand for a week, stir
, ring daily. Put into permanent jar
and add the following ingredients: One
ounce of orris root, sliced thin, half an
ounce each of allspice, cloves, cinnamon,
ginger root, sliced thin, one-fourth
pound of fresh dried lavender blossoms,
the rose leaf stock, one grated nutmeg,
one-fourth ounce of anise seed, five
grains of finest Canton musk, half an
ounce of oil of rose geranium, one
fourth ounce each of the oils of jessa-
mine, lavender, lemon, verbenn, musk,
violet. rosemary, and bergarnot.
This mixture is warranted TO be fra
grant, and if the jar is kept tight will
last for years, though from time to
time little lavender or orange-fower
water or any nice perfume may be
added. When it is desired to perfume
room. open the jar for little while,
and the apartment will soon be as fra
grant as a garden of roses.
