THE TRIAL OF ELI SHAW.
His Fiancee on the Stand in His
Defense.

Camden, n. j., Oct. 6.-The counsel for
the defense in the Shaw trial at noon
today sprung surprise, which puz-
zled and practically knocked out the
prosecutor for the State. Lawyer Scovel
announced to the court that he had only
few more witnesses to call, and their
testimony would simply prove the gem
eral good character of Shaw. This meant
that the defense were not going to put
Shaw on the stand, and that the States
attorneys would not have the opportuni-
~ of cross-eXamining the prisoner.
Miss Maybelle Nelson, the defendants
fiancee, took the stand She said that
she was the afffanced bride of Eli Shaw.
Her marriage with him was soon to take
place. She was to furnish and provide
the house in which they were TO live. and
had the necessary funds to keep her prom
ise in this respect To fulfill the engage
ment she had several hundred dollars in
cash in bank and two mortgages one
for $500 and one for $500.
The examination in chief of Miss Nelson
occupied but four and half minutes.
On cross-eXamination Miss Nelson could
not say exactly on what properties the
mortgages were placed.
