SAW MRS. GEORGE SHOOT.
Mrs. Eckroat Testifies That She Was
an Eyewitness to the Murder
OfGeorge ID. Saxton,

Canton, O., April 17.-The trial of
Mrs. George for the murder of George
d. Saxton opened Saturday morning
with Miss Matte Grimes on the stand
for cross-eXamination. She explained
that she especially observed Mrs.
Georges flushed face when she passed
her, an hour after the murder had been
committed, because she (the wit
messy had heard of Saxton's death and
had been told of some of the relations
between Saxton and Mrs. George.
Mrs. Christine Eckroat presented
startling testimony. She testified that
after hearing shooting she went to her
window on the night of the murder.
She saw person bend forward and fire
two shots toward the ground and then
walk away to a vacant lot, through
which the person ran. She identified
Mrs. George as the one who fired the
shots.
There had been some gossip about
Surprise eyewitness" to be intro
duced.
In cross-eXamination the defense
sought to show that the witness did
not know Mrs. George well enough to
identify her and that the street was
too dark for anyone TO recognize
person across the street.

WANTED TO SUICIDE.
Dreyfus Writes to His Wife That such
Is HIS Desire-Tnformed of the
Revision of His Case.

Paris, April 1.-THE Eclair publishes
the report of Gov. Deniel of Cayenne
of the reception by Dreyfus of the news
of the revision of his case. Dreyfus, it
is said, had written to his wife that he
wished to commit suicide. When asked
to testify he said he had nothing to
say-that he did not remember any
thing. He once told physician who
was attending him:
'They are afraid my family will betray
the famous discriminating letter: they are
afraid the kaiser will get to know of it:
but they are not afraid that my wife will
take our two children and throw herself
at the feet of the emperor and ask him for
justice"
Dreyfus told Gov. Deniel that he had
nothing to say to the court of
cessation. On November "a, 1898, he
wrote the governor that when he was
tried he asked M. Casimir-P erier, then
president of the French republic, for
public trial, which M. Casimir-Perier
promised him under conditions which
Dreyfus swore to observe; but the pub.
licity was not granted, though why he
does not know.
Dreyfus repeatedly said that his de.
Tense was in the hands of his wife and
