HT HE jury IN the case Of ex-Police-
man Robert G. Wilson, who is
charged with the murder of little
N Maggie Hartwell, will retire Mon
day to deliberate upon a verdict.
The prisoner was on the witness stand
yesterday and at the conclusion of his
testimony the defense rested its case.
Wilson's defense, as set out in his tes-
timony and in the opening statement of
Judge Ferral, is ignorance of the crime
committed and accident, if the death OF
Maggie Hartwell followed from the pistol
shot for which he was held responsible
He admits that he held the revolver IL
his hand, but says it was discharged ac-
cidently and without intention.
The first witnesses of the day were po-
lice officials and neighbors of Wilson, who
testified to the good character of the de-
fendant. Among them were Captains
John Spillane, Dunleavy, Seymour, Ser
geants Green and Mahoney, Officer
Lynch. jeremiah Deasy and Edward F.
Smith.
Wilson Takes the Stand.
Robert G. Wilson, the accused, old but
not feeble, gave his testimony with an
Un6emonstrative sureness. On cross-ex-
animation he displayed no signs of nerv-
BUSINESS. In fact, he seemed Indifferent to
his surroundings, never for q moment los
Ex-Judge Bahrs conducted the direct ex-
animation.
How long did you own that pistol?"'
asked Bahrs.
Since the time I was on the police
force" replied Wilson.
Then the witness told how he put the
pistol in his picket on July some time
during the morning. 1t was the habit to
make noise with it on the national hoji-
day
Did you fire it off on last Fourth of
July?" inquired Bahrs.
yes; one shot at the fence" was the
reply.
did you show that pistol to any one
that day?"
yes; to Miss johnson. 1 was sitting
on my porch and Miss johnson was also
there
The witness then said he did not raise
his pistol or point it at any one, nor did
he speak to any one.
Defendant Tells of the Shooting.
Continuing his testimony, Wilson said:
There was one firecracker thrown
through bush or, tree on to the porch.
The cracker did no harm and did not
worry me at al. This was. some time
after 9 O'Clock, about half an hour after

Words of Praise From Critical
English Audience.

The news received from London that
Dennis O'Sullivan, the San Francisco
singer, has given another successful con-
cert there and has again won words of

ST James Hall November II. at which
with the exception of one number, he
was the whole show. He sang twenty-six
songs, and with his splendid voice, artis-
tic method and intelligent Interpretation

FIRST WEEK OF JULY.
New Date Set for the End OF the
South African War.

london. Feb. 27.-There are few ad
ditional details of the rout OF the
Du,ch forces in South Africa, but there
is a buoyant feeling in military cir
cles that the end of the war is nearer
than it was.
The junction of Dewet's men with
the commandos which were already
in Cape Colony has been prevented
and the invaders have been scattered
in all directions, and their resources
for keeping up hostilities have been
paralyzed II Dewet succeeds in elud
ing immediate pursuit he will have
great difficulty in renewing his sup
plies of war material and keeping his
men in the field.
General French's operations have
been equally effective. BOtha's force
has been harassed steadily and com
PEELED to break up into small bands
Its losses in ammunition are heavy
and the country is devastated.
General Kitchener has done his
work with scientific thoroughness. He
has corraled the spare population
here and there under strong guart
and emptied the vast spaces OF Soutf
African veldts. so that there is NJ
possibility of continuing the war il
an effective way. There are no re
LAYS of horses, no droves Of cattle
and the veldt is uninhabitable. anf
train wrecking is the last resource o
the gucrrillas.
There may be unforeseen accidents
but no military expert here expect'
that the war will be prolonged be
vond the 1st OF July. There were
wagers in Johannesburg at the open
ing Of the year that the mines woul(
be operated by the first week in July

belle had glass of citric acid Lemonade
spilled over her party dress, and it Was
turned from a delicate tint TO the vilest
black wherever the counterfeit beverage

petratedthe careless act thought itwould
take his months salary 10 replace il,
but 10 their great surprise Mrs. Walker
restored tire dress 10 its original beauty
