EBERT GLENN A MAN.
(By Associated Press.)

W. a tto'f
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, July 21.-
The mystery known as Ellis Glenn
seems now in a fair way to be cleared
up. Counsel for the defense received
from Marietta to-day a letter contain
ing a photograph of Ebert Glenn taken
in hat city in 1896, with the sworn
statement that the picture was taken
there and that Ebert Glenn was a man.
A comparison of the two photographs
shows great difference in the two peo-
pie and strengthens the statement
made a few days ago that Ebert Glenn
was here in the court room and could
be produced at any time. The photo
graph shows a broad-shouldered, black
haired. black-eyed man, with a long
neck and large Adams apple" He
had a long nose and large ears, and
does not resemble the defendant in the
least. The production Of the picture
has created quite a sensation here and
the friends of the defendant are jubil-
ant.

Correspondence Associated Press)
ST. PETERSBURG. Monday, July 3
The grant OF more liberal press reeu.
lations affords additional proof that
emperor Nicholas has emancipated
himself from the ministers. who still
hold the idea that prevailed during thu
unhappy period that followed the muir
der of the Car liberator, Alexander l.
As an instance OF more benevolent re-
forms the following example In given:
A deputation OF editors. led by a
courageous ~litterateur who is no longer
actively engaged with the press. went
before his majesty with their humplc
petition. Give us a press law" they
pleaded. 'Iet It be as your majesty
may deem proper, but give us \ law.
Let us know where we stand. FREQ us
from the domination of officials whose
will is their only Jaw. Give us as much
freedom as you can. We will not abuse
| YOU"
The Emperor made a gracious re-
Spouse. The editors and publishers
breathed a deep sigh of relief. But
they were cruelty disappointed. The
reactionary crowd gained the ear Of the
Emperor. An artificial agitation was
started. The machinery Of govern
ment and the police was set In motion,
and the Emperor was persuaded that
fanatical elements only waited for tho
grant OF a domucum Of liberty In order
to attack the throne, altar and his own
life.
Tho law now granted will restore
courage to the press. Hitherto n
warning from the censor has sent a
panic through the editorial rooms, two
have put them under the sword OF
Damocles, and three were regarded as
preliminary to the extinction which
was very long delayed. After three
warnings tho authorities could shut UP
the newspaper at any moment. Now
the first notice or warning will remain
in force only a year II a second does
not follow within a year; the second
will expire within two years, II there
is o a third within that period, and
the third will remain In force only
three years. This action with regard
to the liberty of the press is taken by
many to be a %forerunner Of an era OF
reform in Russia.

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG. w. Va, July 21.-
With the exception of a witness or two
more for the defense. the evidence in
the Ellis Glenn forgery trial is all in
and the character of the little more
which is to come is not materially diff
ferent from that which has been hith-
erto given for the State. So that while
the evidence is not actually closed, ii
is possible to size up the testimony in
the case. II the opinion of a jury can
be judged from the opinion of the pub
lie, there will be a disagreement, for
the general public disagrees as to what
the verdict should be. after reading the
press reports of the trial. Many think
there has been evidence enough to con-
Wet, while others think the prisoner
should be triumphantly acquitted.
The State has proven by many wit
nesses that Ellis Glenn is the same per-
son who lived in Williamstown under
the name of Ebert B. Glenn, and that
while she was there, known as a man,
she is in reality a woman. that she
passed a note for 81. 400 IN William
Richardson, which note was a forgery,
and that the signatures on the forged
note appear to be in the same hand
writing as Glenn's signature signed in
several places. They nave proved that
Ebert Glenn had female apparel in his
trunk and hat in Illinois a letter was
found in the trunk claimed by Ellis
Glenn, written in regard to the real
estate transaction in which the forged
note figured and addressed to E. B
Glenn at WflIiamstown. They have
proved by witnesses from Illinois that
after she was found to be a woman,
and therefore after she had changed
places with Elbert Glenn, IL, as she
claims, she ever did such a thing, she
talked with persons there about the
Williamstown transaction. and said
that she had lived there and knew the
George A. Hoover whose name is signed
to the forged note.
On the other hand, the defense has
proven that Ellis Glenn is not the same
person as Ebert Glenn, and has done
1t not simply on the opinions of per-
sons who knew Ebert and have seen
Ellis, but they have proven that Ebert
had scars and marks on his person
which do not exist or the defendant.
Gilbert Glenn had a scar on his head
which Ellis Glenn has not. Ebert cut
a cash half an inch deep in his hand,
while Ellis has not scar in her hand.
They have proved by many witnesses
that Ellis is taller than Ebert was, and
that Ellis limps from one short leg,
while Ellis was a perfect man and never
limped at all. They have proved that
Ebert lived like a man and did the
things that men do, such as frequenting
saloons and disorderly houses. They
proved that he performed the occupa-
lions Of a man.
With such conflicting testimony, it
is difficult to make a guess as to what
the jury will do, and it seems that the
mystery of Ellis Glenn is just as far
from solution now as it ever was. The
jury may sift out the evidence and de-
termine who she is and whether there
is a twin brother, as Ellis claims, or
whether she Is a former and a very
smooth n e at that.
