MRS. GEORGES ALIBI
STRONG TESTIMONY OFFERED IN
HER FAVOR.
PROSECUTION HARD HIT
Two Witnesses Testify That Defend
ant Was With Them at Time of the
hooting-Husband of the Woman
Placed on the Stand in Her De-
Tense

Canton, o., April 22.-The testimony
ON behalf of the defense in the trial of
Mrs. George was concluded yesterday.
The testimony in ebuttal will be Of
fered today. If this is concluded be-
fore the noon adjournment, the court
will then adjourn until Monday,
when the arguments will be COM
menced. They will occupy probably
two days. The jury will probably be
charged Wednesday. The features of
Friday were the calling of Semple c.
George, former husband of the defend
ant, to the stand, an alibi of Mrs
George, and an effort to impeach the
testimony of Mrs. Eckroate, the wo-
man who claims to have recognized
Mrs. George in the act of firing shots
Mr. EckrOate testified that his wife had
been using a white powder presumed to
be morphine for the past twelve years
He said it made her droWsy and irrit-
able. E. ]. Schlabach, a druggist, tes-
titled to having sold one-eighth ounce
bottles of morphine to Mrs. Eckroate
at intervals of a week or two.
Florence B. Klinger testified that on
the night of Saxtons death she saw
SaXtOn at about $3.50 o'clock, riding
west on bicycle, and she went to her
home, five or six blocks from the
square, entering her house just as the
clock struck 6. Mrs. George came at
about 6:20 and about five minutes lat
er Ira HOWenStein dropped in. Mrs.
George remained until $50 and then
left, saying she was going to Attorney
Sterling's office. Ira Howenstein testi-
fed to having gone to visit the Klinger
woman on the evening of SaXtons
death and finding Mrs. George there at
the time of his arrival, which Ge defin-
ltely fXed at 6:35. Both witnesses
testified that on that occasion Mrs.
George appeared entirely natural.
Semple G. George was the last witness
called by the defense. After detailing
his marriage and early years of his
married life with the defendant, he
was asked: From the time you mar
rie1 Mrs George until you met Saxton,
what were the relations between your
self and wife?" They were pleasant
and happy" In the cross examination
he said they never had any trouble
until they moved into the Saxton
block.

in Oshkosh Jail.

Oshkosh, Wis, April 23.-Rhoda
BroWnhorl, the alleged check raiser, is
still in Jail here, having failed to get
the necessary $4,000 bail. By her own
orders nobody is allowed to see her.

ments Of the missing $4,000 check
signed by Mr.. Stringham. The check,
it is said, was torn up by the prisoner
and scattered along the hallway from

arrest. Mrs. BrowIhorl, who has kept

charges. There are various reports as
to her identity. Mrs. Browndorl is a
very attractive appearing woman of
about 80 years. She denies that she
has committed offenses against the

Rico. No school on the island affords
adequate preparation for American
college work. The public schools are
kept open twelve months in the year
and six days in the week In summer
only morning sessions are held.
There is no co-education of sexes. No
school houses exist on the island, the
schools usually being held at the res
licences of the teachers. Only part of
the pupils have text books. About SIS
schools are reported in the island and
little over 100000 is annually paid

manifested to learn English. New
text books are being published in this
country to replace the Spanish books
now in use.

TWO MORE SKIRMISHES.
AMERICAN TROOPS AGAIN ROUT
FILIPINO REBELS.
Enemy Suffers Heavy Loss in Both
COllisiOns-Heat Intense and
Soldiers Frustrated

Manila, April pa force of about
200 rebels attacked the outposts Of the
Washington regiment, near Taguig,
south of Pasig and Petaros Friday.
Two companies Immediately engaged
the enemy and advanced into the open,
in skirmish order. The rebels were
checked and routed after two hours
fighting, leaving twelve men killed on
the field and several wounded. The
American troops also obtained pos
session of many Mauser rifles. Three
Americans were wounded.
The heat is intense. At noon the
thermometers registered 95 degrees
and the mercury is still rising. There
were several prOstratiOns from the
heat among the troops, but only one
man was wounded. Later the army
tugs opened fire on the enemy along
the river banks. The rebels are un-
usually active, west of Malolos, as far
as Calumpit. They have been busily
at work on their trenches and several
new trenches have been discovered
within two miles of the railroad. Fires
are burning east of the railroad and it
would appear that the rebels are evac-
uating the foothill towns in anticipa-
ton Of an attack upon the part of
the American troops.
At o'clock Friday morning
three companies of the South
Dakota regiment marched from
Bocave and in conjunc-
ton with three companies from the
Minnesota regiment from Guiguinto
north of Bocave, encountered a rebel
force numbering fully 500 men, when
two miles out. The enemy retired
three miles in fairly good order, in
spite Of the fact that the rebels suf-
fered heavy losses. The Americans,
having exhausted their ammunition
were compelled to return to their
camps.
Admiral Dewey says he intends to
send an expedition to Baler to punish
the insurgents for the killing or cap
turing Of Lieut. Gilmore and the sailors
from the Yorktown.

SibIey did not fire. Sibley tore all
her clothing from her, searching for
money, but found none. We dragged
her out on the porch, threw her in
wheelbarrow and Sibley wheeled her to
well and dumped her in, head first.
We then built a platform a few feet
below the surface Of the ground and
filled it with earth. My mother had
nothing to do with the murder. Our
object was robbery. We thought Aunt
Jane had money on her. Sibley made
a cOrrobOrative confession.

was three killed, two wounded, and
nine in the county Jail. The police

New York, April 22.-Two exciting
sessions OF the Mazet Investigating
committee were held Friday. A feat
ure was the refusal of witnesses to
give testimony. Another feature was
the defiant attitude of Andrew Freed
man on the stand. Still another feat
ure was the election from the COM
mittee room of Abraham Himmel-
wright of the Roebling company,
when he insisted upon making a state
ment after he had refused to answer
questions. The chief interest CEN
tered in Freedman, who has been as
ISOLATED with Croker in business for
years.
Freedman was more than ordinarily
forcible in his answers to some Ques-
tions; many he refused to answer at
all. He was rebuked by Moss and
Mazet for "impertinence." When Moss
excused him for the day Freedman got
down from the stand and, turning TO
the newspaper representatives he
handed them paper, saying: Gen
tlemen of me press, here is statement
Of the entire business Of the Platt
company and all companies for pub
lication." This was a paper relating
to the business done by the United
States Fidelity and Guarantee COM
pany, in which Freedman and Croker
are interested, and contained infor-
nation which Moss desireu to get at
during the course of the examination.
Moss was indignant at Freedman's
action, denounced The witness We
hemently and recalled him to the
stand. The witness refused abso-
lutely to state by whom the paper was
prepared. Moss took occasion to say
that those witnesses who were in con-
tempt would be dealt with later in the
regular way. When Croker was on
the stand, he testified that he
had received dividends from the
surety company, while yes
terday it developed that the
company had not made dividends.
Freedman explained on the stand that
Croker is stock holder in the COM
pany and interested in the business
success of the Metropolitan district;
that the witness received $4,000 last
year as a guarantee for this territory,
and that he divided the money with
Croker. Freedman, however, refused to
name the sum that he paid Croker, and
said further that he thought Croker
might be under the impression that the
money paid him was in the way of
dividend Freedman said there was
no actual contract between Croker and
himself for the payment of money,
Croker relying on Freedman's Woro.
A bralam Himmelwright, of the ROeb-
ling company, refused at the very out
set of the examination to answer queS-
tons, and entered into a discussion at
the slightest opportunity. After sew
eral long wrangles ,he witness insisted
upon making an explanation as he was
ordered down by Mazet, but refused
to leave the stand Moss called for a
sergeant, and Himmelwright was es-
corted from the room. Another session
will be held today.
Frank A. Bell, employed in the da-
partment of taxes and assessments,
testified to the value of Cookers house
on 74th street. The examination
brought out the fact that the valuation
of Cookers house was decreased by
the assessors 81 900 since 1898.
