TWO saw THE SHOTS FIRED.
Important Testimony Against Mrs. George.
in the Canton Case.

Canton, O.. April 11.-Attorneys for
the state regard Saturday as their red
letter day in the trial of Mrs. George.
They produced two eye-witnesses to the
firing of two Of the shots which took
effect in Saxton's body. One of these
claimed to have Identified Mrs george
positively as having fired the shots. and
the other testified positively that the
woman she saw do the shooting close
ly resembled Mrs. George, whom she
knows only as she has seen her in the
court room.
The state also qualified a witness on
Mrs. Georges handwriting to Identify
letter which they want to introduce in
evidence. A third point which pleased
the state was the admission of a police
officer who found a revolver. He said he
sought the revolver at the instance of
Mayor Rice a friend of Mrs. Georges.
He found it but told Rice he did not.
and gave it to the prosecutor. He told
Mrs George he had found it and she
did not deny that it was her pistol. The
bullets that killed Saxton fit the revolv-
er. Witness was discharged from the
police force by Rice for his action re-

that these relations were admissible it
insanity is to be the defense, or if in

They were further admissible, he said,
on the grounds of generalization or de-

Washington, April Is. = The Wade

been accumulated at the Washington
barracks from various points in Cuba
and Porto Rico The $50 cans INSPECTED
represented nearly all of the various
brands in use during the island cam
paigns Among other brands was the
white labeled red can about which
there has been much conflicting testf
mony All of the cans Of this brand
that were opened were found to be
good.
The members of the court sampled
q number of the cans that were opened
and said unofficially that they had fire.

good while on an Indian campaign in

to be defective from either rust, nail
holes or rough handling. They were
opened ard found spoiled. Only one
"'swel1ed" can was found in the lot
The court recalled Professor Atwater
and he expressed the opinion that pound
for pound the canned roast beef was of
greater nutritive value than fresh beef,
but suggested that unmixed with vege-
tables it would not prove so acceptable
a ration. Replying to Major Lee the
professor said that if men refused to
eat the meat when hungry he would try
to get some other food. Colonel Wes-
ton, of the commissary department, was
also recalled and examined with refer
ence to the supplies furnished the troops
in the field at Santiago His testimony
was not particularly interesting.
