JEANETTE FRAIL IN COURT i
Hears the Testimony of Wit
 nesses For Defense
BETWEEN SMlLESAND TEARS
Some Sensational Evidence Introduced Yesier- day-Attorney Green Declared That He
 Could Not Be Bluffed = Ad- iourned Until Tomorrow.

It Is doubtful whether the court annals of Jefferson county record a more sensa- tional trial than the Suther seduction case, which is now being heard in the criminal court Is developing into
 The court room was again crowded yes- terday. and on account of the demonstra- tion which took place on the part of the spectators the bailiff at one time therat- ened to clear the room
 Miss Jeanette Frail, the prosecuting wit ness, occupied a seat back of Solicitor Morrow and Attorney Shugart, and be- tween smiles and tears she heard the en- tire testimony. She was allowed to remain in the court room after she took the stand to deny the allegations made by Witness Poe not without objection, how ever, on the part of Attorney Greene for the defense, who said to Solicitor Morrow:
 "You can't bluff us that way; bring in the whole family if you want to-"
 The case opened yesterday with Tom Poe on the stand. He said that he had had improper relations with Miss Frail on two occasions during the six months he had visited her. He also said that Miss F'rail had expressed the intention of en- tering a house of ill-fame, and said he had heard her speak of securing a drug for certain purpose. ,
 Miss Frail was put on the stand and de- nied in toto what had been said by Poe. She was allowed to remain in the court room on the motion of the state.
 Poe was recalled and gave further testi- mony. D. P. McClelland testified that he had never heard or known any thing wrong about Miss Frail.
 Bob Allen testified to having seen her in a compromising position with a man. Will Anderson had heard her use bad language and said he had not been paid any money to testify.
 Harry Anderson testified that he had had improper relations with Miss Frail on one occasion at her home In Wylam. He said he was only joking when he told MT. Mor- ris and Mike Galaher in the mines that he was paid $50 to testify Dave Suther paid my dummy fare yesterday, he said, and left 50 cents at home Wednesday, said he.
 Mrs. Kennedy was the next witness and testified that she saw Miss Frail in the weeds with Allie Metts. Had seen Tom Poe at the house late at night and early next moHning.
 Allie Metts was called and said he had hugged and kissed Miss Frail and had put his hand in her breast and had talked to her about having improper relations. She refused and got mad, but allowed him to put his hand in her breast afterwards.
 John Kennedy was the last witness ex- amined. He said he spoke to her about having improper relations; had hugged her and put his hand on her breast
 Adjournment was then taken until o'clock tomorrow morning.

EXPRESS TRAIN WRECKED Two Killed and a Score of Pas
 Sengers Injured. SIX CARS FELL IN A DITCH Was Running Thirty-Fve Miles an Hour When the Rails Spread and the Coaches
 Rolled Down Embankment.

Oldtown, Me-. Jan. 29.-The St. John train, known as the Provincial express, was rocked in the cut at Oroni basin this afternoon and six cars, including the smoker, were turned topsy-turvy into the ditch. One of the passenger cars in which were a large number of persons, was al- most entirely demolished. Two persons were killed and more than a score injured. several probably fatally.
 The train was running over the Maine Central tracks, and left Bangor little late. At the time of the deraiment. which due to spreading rails, the train was running about thirty-five miles an hour
 The train is not scheduled to stop at Oroni, but the conductor found that a number of university students held tickets for that station, so he signaled to the engineer to make a stop. It was just af- ter his signal that the accident came.s No worse spot for derailment can be found on this stretch of road There is a high embankment for miles, and every car was overturned, at the same time rolling down into the ditch. The mass of wreckage fortunately did not take fire, as the cars were equipped with steam heating ap- paratus. Those who escaped uninjured, or with minor bruises, quickly went to the rescue of those imprisoned in the cars. The Oroni people came quickly and work ed rapidly, improvising stretchers and talk ing the wounded to the nearest houses. Word was sent to Bangor for help and a wrecking train responded. carrying num- Der of surgeons.
 The deep snow and the intense cold, for it was 30 degrees below zero this morning, was great hindrance to the rescue work. People who could not use horses to reach the wreck drew sleighs and pungies by hand.
 The injured were taken into Oreno. The towns-people threw their houses open. and the village inn was turned into hospi- tai.
 Mrs Murray was killed outright in the car. Mrs. Cunningham was alive when rescued, but deid while being carried into Oroni. Her husband, Deacon Cunning ham, has no chance to recover.
 As fast as the injured were attended by the surgeons they were sent to the Bangor hospital on a special train.

CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.
Prosecution introduced Witnesses to Prove
 This in the Carter Court MartakiE

Savannah, Ga., Jan. 29.-This morning the prosecution in the Carter court mar tial gave it's attention almost wholly to an effort to prove the charge of conspiracy to defraud the government between Capt. Carter and the Atlantic Contracting com pany. For several days witnesses have been placed on the stand to prdye how loosely Capt Carter allowed work to go on under the contract with the Atlantic Contracting company. li
 Today those introduced testified to the rigidity with which contractors, other than those of the Atlantic Contracting company were held down to specifications. The con- tract of A J. Twiggs for work in the Savannah river, near Augusta, has been held under review. MT. E. R. Conant an inspector of the work testified that Capt. Carter was very strict and rejected a good deal of the work. Hr. A. J. Twiggs, of Augusta gave testimony similar in tenor, as did MT. A. J. Sibley, also of Augusta.

STRIKERS ARE ENCOURAGED.
Money Coming In Unsolicited For Their Aid
 -1he Manufacturers Mum.

New Bedford, Mass. Jan. 29.-Tonight ended the second week in the cotton mill strike in New Bedford, and the situation remains practically as if the strike had just begun. No indications are seen that either side will give in right away
 The manufacturers are as silent as the grave on any plans they have in contempla- tion, but the striking operatives are busy people. Every encouragement in the world is being offered to the strikers, and 1t is the best conducted fight against capital that labor has ever put up in this sity, with every prospect of being successful.
 Funds have fairly been pouring into the coffers of the local unions, contributions in many cases coming unsolicited.
 The Spinners' union today paid out near ly $25,O00 in strike pay to its members forced into idleness by the strike and this money will find it's way into the store- keepers money drawer by the first of the week. The feeling of depression that has been felt at both ends of the city for the past two weeks is gradually disappearing. Even the non-union strikers, who gener- ally have to depend upon charity to a cer- tain extent, will this time be looked after. These non-union operatives can expect to have some money by Tuesday morning.
