London. Nov. THE hearing of the
charges against Theodore and Laura
Jackson (Ann Odelia Diss De Barr
was resumed at the Marylebone police
court today before a crowded court
room. The clerk of the court informed
a representative Of the AssOCiatld
Press that enough witnesses have been
summoned to keep the case going for
weeks. There were no women in the
audience today. Laura FaUlker con-
tinued her testimony, which was large
ly a reiteration of that previously
given.
The most dramatic incident today
was when Laura Jackson began her
customary badgering s-examtEa-
ton of the witness, who turned, and
pointing her finger at the female pris-
Oner vehemently denounced her as the
author of her ruin. In spite Of its
MT lodramatic tinge, the incident
aro- sed loud applause. whereupon the
presiding judge threatened to clear the
court.

subsequent conduct OF the case was not

a warrant for Laura Bullion, the woman
suspected of completely in the Wagner

having in her possession forged notes on
the National bank of Helena. The fed
eral grand jury. which is now IN session,
will at once take up the case.
Since death is the penalty of train rob-
berry in Montana, the federal government
is willing to let LOngbaugh, the man ar

the Montana authorities fail to act.
At 1 o. clock this afternoon Laura Bull

companion, who then called himself Cum

dictionary. on the fly leaf OF which was
written: Harry LongbauSh, wagner

unsigned Helena National bank notes, she
was convinced that he was LOngbaugh,
the train robber. She says that she never
mentioned her suspicious to cunning
ham" because she was too wise.
She confessed to the chief that she mad
forged the name of J. W smith. CASHIER
of the National bank of Helena, to the

The election of Russell Harding to
the office Of general manager of the
Rio Grande roads clears the mystery
surrounding the giving the title of
manager to j. NJ. Herbert. It was
stated some time ago that Mr. Hard
ing would be supreme next to George
j. Gould in the direction of the policy
of the Rio Grande roads. 1t becomes
apparent that he is to have the title
as we'll as the authority. The infer
ence is that Mr.. Jeffrey viii have su-
perVisiOn of the financial end, with the
other duties usually falling to a pres
ident, Mr.. Harding will direct the gen.
eral operation of the road, while Mr.
Herbert win be in direct charge Of the
operating department, holding a posi-
ton exactly like the one he left on the
Southern Pacific.
Several changes are expected in the
course OF time, and there is consider
able guessing as to what they will be.
The succession Of Mr.. Harding to the
general managership signifies q, close
relationship between the operating de-
partments Of the Missouri Pacific and
Rio Gr6nde roads, and il is believed
this policy will be followed out in con-
nectiOn with the traffic departments
Although the result will be the cen
Trailing Of authority far from Salt
Lake, it is believed that Utah will
profit by the change. Mr.. Harding. as
well as Mr.. Gould. has strong faith in
the future Of the city and state. The
road is now in strong hands, possess
ing the ability to extend and improve
in this state wherever necessary. not
being dependent on the local business.
Important changes are expected as
soon as they can be brought about.

glneer on the international Great
