SAXTON STOLE HIS WIFE
MRS. GEORGES HUSBAND ON
THE WITNESS STAND.
Says His Family Relations Were
Pleasant Until the Man Slain
Came Into This Life.

Canton, O., April 21.-The testimony
on behalf of the defense in the trial of
Mrs. George was concluded today. A
brief cross-examination by agreement
will be conducted tomorrow morning,
and then the testimony in rebuttal will
be offered. If this is concluded before
the regular hour for noon adjournment,
court viii then adjourn until Monday,
when arguments will be commenced,
and they viii probably occupy two
days. The jury will probably be charged
Wednesday.
The feature of today was the calling
of Sample c. George, former husband
of the defendant. to the stand, the alibi
Of Mrs. George and the effort to i'm
peach the testimony of Mrs. EckrOate,
The woman who claims to have recog-
nized Mrs. George in the act of firing
the two shots
NJ. c. Barber appeared on behalf of
his wife and said that none of the pa
pers he was subpoenaed to produce
here had been found among SaXtons
effects. Mrs. Barber is a sister of Mrs
Mckinley and of Saxton.
When the especially desired paper
was more fully described, Attorney
Grant announced that he had it and
he produced it. There were two re-
George receipts for all claims against
Saxton and especially mentioned the
two replevin suits and also the breach
of promise suit
Sample c. George was the, next wit
ness called to the stand. After detail
ing his marriage and the early years
of his married life with the defendant,
he was asked:
Prom the time you married Mrs
George until you met Saxton, what
were the relations between yourself and
your wife,"
They were pleasant and happy"
In cross-eXamination. he said they
had never had any trouble of consa-
quence until they moved into the Sax
ton block. Shortly after that time and
until they separated in 1889, they had
much trouble.

DEATH IN A COAL MINE.
Five People Lose Their Lives
Through Carelessness.

Denver, Colo, April PA special to
the News from Albuquerque, n NJ,
says that four men and boy employed
in Cook q Whites coal mine at Madrid
lost their lives at noon today. Orders
are strict TO the effect that none but
safety lamps shall be used in the mine,
but two men, some time after the fore
man had made his rounds, carried in
open lamps. While the men were
ascending for their noon meal a terrific
explosion occurred.
-Four men. John Sienwesky, Adam
Jeiasewiez, John Reya, Fred Aira and
a boy, F. f. Wapps, were still in the
pit. The machinery refused to work,
and it was not until 2:30 that a descent
could be made.
Two dead bodies We're found at once,
and about 4 o'clock the remaining three.
The men evidently died from sulfoca-
ton, as no bruises could be found.
Had it not been for the injury to the
machinery, it is thought all could have
been saved. The two open lamps We're
wrecked

Consul Pierce Talks

New York, December GA large num-
Der of men viist the offices of the Orange
Free State consulate every day and ask to
be sent to the Transvaal to join the Boer
army. Consul Charles d. Pierce refers them
tc DR.. Hendrix Mueller, the Orange Free
State minister to The Hague. Before
starting for Holland, however, many OF
them visit George w. Vansiclen at his
Office on Broadway. Some of the men Who
called ON Mr.. Pierce today asked whether
it would be necessary for them to go in
disguise.
Mr.. Pierce replied that 1t would not.
Mr.. Pierce was asked who paid the ex-
penses of the men to The Hague.
"They pay their own expenses" he said.
Somebody in the city, though, is furnish
ing them with money 10 get to the Trans
wall don't know who 1t is. l don't
know whether 1t is society or an indi-
vidual."
How many have been here SO far?' Mr..
Pierce was asked.
II can't say, he replied. Hundreds of
them. Dozens of them come in here every
day. good many of them are Beers
Some are Hollanders and Scandinavians
There have been a great many Germans
Who have served as officers in the Ger
man war. receive grea many letters
from people who want to go to the war
great many from surgeons who offer
their services, and get letters every day
from people who have some wonderful in
vention, by which, they say, they can blow
up the whole British navy.
At Mr.. Van Sicens office was found a
number of the same men who had been
seen at the office of the Free State consul.
To Mr.. Van Siclen the following questions
were propounded
How do these men get to the Transvaal?
Do you refer them to DR.. Mueller at The
Hague? Why do they come to your"
To each of these questions Mr.. Van Siclen
replied: II refuse to answer"
After a moments thought, however, he
said:
Il suppose they come to me because they
know l am an American, friend of the
Beers and have influential connections.
am also friend of England. don't want
to see her ruined. England ought to arbi-
trate. But they say she will lose her
prestige. She has lost that already. Kru-
ger will arbitrate, not because he is victori-
Gus, but because he is a reasonable man."
Most of the men who apply to Mr. Pierce
to judge by appearance, are rough men,
with little or no money, belonging to the
laboring class But there not few
who are educated and have had some mill
tary experience.
Mr.. Pierce said frankly that he was re-
ferring these men to Dr. Mueller who. he
added, saw that they arrived in the Trans
