JURY RENDERS A VERDICT.
Body Found Mt Riders Castle Subjecr
of Inquiry.


The jury summoned by Coroner Carr to
investigate the cause of the death of the
woman whose skeleton was found in a coal
vault at Riders Castle about a week ago
met today at the sixth precinct station and
heard evidence in the case. There was
nothing told that has not already appeared
in The Star.
The jury rendered verdict that the
said unknown colored woman had come to
her death in a manner to them unknown.
We believe from the evidence that she died
about October, 1898, but in spite of the
vigorous efforts on the part of the police,
detectives and others, no evidence has been
obtained as to the manner of her death or
of the person or persons who may have
been responsible therefor, or who caused
her illegal interment in the ashes where the
remains were found.
mo woman of her description is missing,
and We believe it most possible that this
woman died natural death: was disin-
TERED by grave robbers, with the intent
to transfer her body to some other city.
They became alarmed in some way and dis
posed of her body as has been stated"

he has been a member of the police depart

a brilliant record for bravery.
In one of his many desperate encounters
with a police fighter the latter shot finger

standing this, and without stopping to get
his wound dressed, he arrested his man
and took him to the station house, after
which he had his injury attended to.

STATES WITNESSES ATTACKED.
Defense in Mrs. Georges Trial Tries
to Dfscredft Them.

CANTON, Ohio, April 20.-The defense in
the George trial began today an attack on
state witnesses alleged to be addicted to
the opium and morphine habit. De. Ely
man. superintendent of the State Asylum
for the Insane at Newburg, testified as an
expert, that a person addicted to the use
of those drugs loses honor and truthful
ness and retains little or no principle.
Alva WMpple, P E. Nook and Mrs
Nook testified to the darkness of the night
w. b. Devices, Mrs. Maud Randall and
Joseph A. Leppert testified to burrs grow
Ing along the sidewalk next to the house
where Mrs. George roomed.
Thomas Shepard, the former janitor, was
recalled and testified to having heard Sax
ton say he would kick Mrs. George out of
the block If she did not stay out.
s. s. Kaufman, cashier of the City Ma
tional Bank, testified to issuing drafts to
SaXton to the amount of about $500, which
were cashed in South Dakota either by
Mrs. George or others for her.
The defense demanded the attendance of
Mrs. M. c. Barber, Saxton's sister, in court
this afternoon, with papers and correspond
ence. messenger has been sent for her.
During the examination Mr. PomereEe an
nounced that Mrs. George was looking at
a witness and shaking her head at him;
also that she did the same thing yesterday.
The statement was stricken from the rec
ords
Among the witnesses for the defense who
testified late yesterday afternoon were:
Mrs. Lena Lindeman, who took care of
Saxton's room. She testified that Mrs.
George often visited her, and that on the
day of the murder she was at her house
from early in the afternoon until $50 in the
evening. The place is over mile from
where Mrs. George was said to have been
at 5:35, and over two miles from the scene
of the killing, which occurred about 6
o'clock. Mrs. George told her she loved
Saxton and expected to marry him within
few days. She was in good spirits and
seemed to be happy always as she talked
about SaXton.
The witness said Mrs. George had called
her attention to the dress she wore, which
had been made over, and which Mrs. George
said she was going to give to the witness DIS
soon she married SaXton. The witness
examined the dress closely, feeling of the
material, and how closely it fit Mrs. George,
the examination being such that had there
been a revolver about it she must have
found it. She said that Mrs. George several
times went into the back yard, which was
full of Spanish needles and burdock burrs.
Cross-examination did not shake Mrs.
Lindemans story. She was not allowed to
testify to Saxtons possession of a re-
volver.
DR.. Douglas Schwartz and Charles r.
Frazer said the night of the killing was
intensely dark. The latter said also that
Mrs. Eckroate, the eyewitness, had con-
suited with him about taking a cure for
the morphine habit.

gradually 10 cooler atmosphere. A
great majority Of the American Journals
at the beginning Of the controversy be-

the side Of the forr .er and fought It even
more vigorously than the English
themselves. There has been consid err
able Topping to the other side OF late on
the part Of many journals, and even those
which have remained have considerably
abated their ardor. Perhaps this IL due
to the fact that the editors have more
closely studied the questions at issue and
found that right and justice are ON the
side Of the Beers and that the British
policy is one of thinly disguised crimi
