he was nervous; ne realized the tragedy
that unroIled itself between the tales
Of witnesses. and his hands hdgeted
continually.
Testimony Favored Defense.
The testimony of Miss Stromberg was
greatly in favor of the defense. Its ma
terial point was to show the rage and
the threats of Morris against Ben
brooks life. Attorneys for each side
cross-examined her, ex-senator Brown
for the prosecution and Attorney Rog-
ers for the defense. They were not
harsh. They did not storm. Each side
coaxed her to make her evidence favor
it and neither ragged when she failed
to do so.
The first witness Of the day was the
expressman. Elijah Abel. who was
standing with his team in front Of Ley
sons jewelry store when the ARRAY be-
gan. He did not bring out as strongly
as on the preliminary examination his
statement of the fight between a man

which he saw through the lace curtains.

After Mr. Abel's examination, it was

not see any reason why she should not

This inquiry viii probably not take
a more formidable aspect Than Of a

Naval officers here who have seen the
letter say there was nothing TO justify
the charges and they believe the de-
partment's inquiry will relieve the ac-
cused officers from the unwarranted al
legations.

Charleston at the time of the wreck, is
not involved in any Of The charges.

There was a scene of dramatic inten-
sity in the Benbrook case yesterday
morning. Every woman who was in the
court room, and dozens of them were
there. breathed faster and watched in
tently. Nearly every front seat was
filed by a woman. There were old and
young and women of varying charac-
ters They had come to see Miss
Stromberg, the heroine Of the tragedy,
the indirect cause of it ALL
Under the fearful strain and in the
gaze Of hundreds of eyes fastened
upon her for four hours, she was al
most a nervous wreck on the witness
stand. Her voice was so low that the
jurors could not hear until a seat had
been provided Tor her nearer 70 the
box of the twelve men. over on the
west side of the room sat Mrs. Strom-
berg. her mother, in deep mourning
and fearful.
During the first part of her testimony
she broke down She cried quietly and
without demonstration while the law
yer waited, the court waited, the ju-
rors waited and the women of the audi
ence looked on. Whatever the women
in that court room thought Of her char
acter, and whatever they may believe,
they didn't think that she was acting
this scene. Tears came to the eyes of
many a woman sitting there with a
face from which purity glowed like
early sunshine. Back farther in more
secluded hooks, where they were not
seen, two or three women got out their
handkerchiefs to wipe away the drop
ping tears.
It was the most dramatic moment of
the case, which has been mysterious.

the start. For other women in the
case, women who have reason to hate

trying time. For Mrs. Benbrook. the
wife of the man whom Leda Strom-
berg had charmed, it was the most ter
rible ordeal that she viii ever know.
There is no trial SO great for a woman
as the loss of confidence in her hus-
band. and here in front of her was be-
ing told the story of his Wanderings
by the woman who took him away.
The sisters of Burton Norris looked
at Leda Stromberg- in seeming Won
derment and awe. There was no mark
Of hatred in their faces; they seemed
stunned by her story, though SAey
have heard it before.
Mrs. Benbrook, in her accustomed
place back of her husband, looked
away from the neatly dressed figure on
the witness stand. She could not look
that woman in the face steadily, and
she didn't try. She gazed away with
her head bowed down, her hat pulled
farther over her eyes and her coat COL
lar turned up around her neck. Pale
and stricken, she was a picture of calm
despair and resignation. She didn't
cry. though there were doubtless times
when she wanted TO. Her husband did

London. March At is evident that
a strict censorship is being exercised
over the news at the seat of war, as
the night had not added anything to
the scanty dispatches received during
the day. most of which referred TO mat
tiers preceding the recent stirring
events.
The war Office intimated at midnight
that there was no prospect of news IN
til something definite shall have been
done. This is quite in keeping with the
complete silence which Lord Roberts
has hitherto observed while his plans
were in progress of accomplishment,
and until he is in actual grip with the
Beers it is probable that the public
will hear little or nothing Of his do
ings.

"A Topsy.Turyy House.

One of the oldest sights OF me Paris
Exposition will be the "Man6ir rEn-
vers," or the topsy-turvy house. The
suggestion of this unique house of mys-
tery first came from Russian engl-
neer named Koth. This extraordinary
building will represent feudal man
sion turned upside down, the roof por-
ton forming actually the foundation,
and vice versa. The visitor will step
in up through the roof, and after going
up stairs several times will come down
to the cellar, which will be fitted up
as a roof garden. There will even be
terraced garden in connection with the
topsy-turvy house. hanging. Of course,
upside down in mid-air. Every apart
ment in the house will be sumptuous-
" furnished, and the topsy-turveydom
will extend even to the furniture. The
perplexed visitor, for instance, will see
a cook making some delicious smelling
soup, though both chef and saucepan
appear upside down. The bathroom
has bath full Of water upside down,
and the drawing room has piano and
a performer playing the latest tunes
of the Folies Bergerc also upside down.
This Illusion of the interior Is pro-
duced by an Ingenious arrangement Of
mirrors. This topsy turvy house after
the Paris Exposition will be repro
duced at Chicago and Coney Island
and the Buffalo EXPEDITION.
