QUESTION OF IDENTITY
Woman on Trial for Crime Com.
mitted While disappearing
in Male Attire.

Parkersburg, W. Va, July 10-On
this the third day of the trial of Ellis
Glenn, charged with forgery, commit
ted while passing as a man, only two
witnesses were examined. Every
legal point is being bitterly fought
and it may take weeks to try the case
as there are over 100 witnesses to
examine. Judge S%tapleton made the
statement this morning that the pris-
oner will have to sit during the re-
mainder of the trial with her hat and
veil removed from her head and face.
This pleased the crowd in the court
room as they have been DESTROYS of
seeing her. The first witness today
was G.. M. Mayhem of Parkersburg,
who stated that Bert Glenn worked
for him for a year in a sweatshop in
Williamstown, the scene Of the alleg-
ed forgery. He testified that he be-
lieved he al positive Ellis and Bert
Glenn were one and the same person.
He said he had known her many
years, when she appeared as a man
and though now she was dressed as
a woman, he still was positive Ellis
was Bert. The defense asked him to
swear it but he refused. Geo. A.
Hoover or Williamstown gave practi.
cally the same testimony.

ADMITS ITS TRUTH
Hinsey Acknowledges Large De
felt In K. p. Endowment
Rank.

Chicago, July 10-John A. Hinsey,
former president of the board of con
troll of the endowment rank Of the
Knights of Pythias, appeared before
the supreme lodge today and admit
ted the report submitted yesterday,
showing a deficit of over 1925, 900, to
be true. This report shows that the
affairs of the endowment rank under
Hinsey's management drifted into
practical insolvency.
The former president of the board
of control declared that he had done
his best to keep the treasury in a
sound condition, but that death claims
had mounted up, while investments
had turned out failures and it had
been frequently necessary to over
draw the ranks account at the bank.
The report, which was compiled by
presidents of the board of control,
excepting Hinsey, does not charge
Hinsey and others with misusing the
funds, but states that they were mis-
used and leaves the rest to inference.
To reporters Hinsey said:
81 am prepared to defend my adj
ministration against any and all com
ers. My conduct of the Office was
perfectly open and above board. The
investments were good and legitimate
and all will turn out all right

EVEN HIS name IS OFFENSIVE
Ohio Democrats Go Out of Their Way to Slight
Democracy's Peerless Leader from
the Platte.

Columbus, July 1O-The democratic
state convention adjourned today af-
ter nominating the following ticket:
Governor, James Kilbourne; lieuten-
ant governor, Anthony Howell; Judge
of the supreme court, Harry B.
Young; attorney general, M. B. Nc
Carthay; treasurer, R. P. Alshire;
member of board of public works,
James B. Holman.
The convention had more promi-
nent men as delegates than any con-
yention of democrats in Ohio for
many years. The nomination of
Kilbourne was appropriately called
one of Spontaneous combustion"
Howell, Alshire and Holman were ia
vorites at great odds from the start.
Several amendments were ingraft-
ed into the Mclean platform and that
document as amended was adopted
with unanimity. Charles P. Salem,
representing Mayor Tom L. Johnson,
was both temporary and permanent
chairman of the convention and dele
gates repeatedly quoted Senator
Hanna by shouting, "Salen knows his
business
It was reported that Johnson de-
sired the nomination of Frank S.
Monnett as attorney general and that
the Mclean men wanted Monnett de-
feated. At any rate the defeat OF
Monnett vas SO decisive as to be a
feature of the convention. Mr.. Mon
nett, as attorney general had brought
suits against the Standard Oil and
other corporations to cancel their
charters under the antitrust law. He
had sought a third term nomination
from the republicans on the issue
that he should be retained In that Of

flee to continue these prosecutions.
After his defeat for a third nomina-
ton, in 1899, he supported Bryan in
1900 on the antitrust issue and can
vassed Ohio and other states with
Bryan.
Judge Smalley, in presenting Mon
nett's NAME, said he was known from
the Golden Gate Of San Francisco to
He'll Gate Of New York as the enemy
of trusts.
Many bitter things were said Of
Bryan's leadership in the committee
on resolutions this morning. It was
insisted that his name should not be
mentioned. After this plan had been
agreed upon, one of the members Of
fered a minority report, reaffirming
the Kansas City platform and express
ing confidence in Bryan. This re-
port. received only six votes out of
900 hundred delegates.
Noting that there was not any por-
trait Of Bryan among the decorations,
one of the delegates started to carry
a small banner with Bryan's picture
on it to the platform. The aisles
were ordered cleared and the picture
did not reach its destination. It was
trampled under foot and spoiled dur
ing the demonstration when Kill
! bourne was escorted into the hall.
Members Of the committee on
resolutions stated that several hours
were spent denouncing the Chicago
and Kansas City platforms and the
.eader who stood on them.
There are various rumors in con-
nection with s%enatorship to succeed
Foraker. but the convention endorsed
no one. The names OF John Mclean
and Tom L. Johnson r most promi-
nently mentioned In this connection.

Chicago, July 10-John A. Hinsey

This follows as the direct result Of

Rank has found in the books under
his twelve years administration as

the freight train, eastbound, had been
! ordered to meet the second section
of the passenger at Slater, the next
station east of Norton, but appar-
emily overlooked the fact that the
first section, which was IS minutes
late, had not passed.
The front brakeman in the freight,
who was about four ears from the en-
CINE, says Conductor McAnna assun,-
ed the throttle himself on leaving
Marshall and was running the engine
when the collision occurred.

were taken to an undertaking estab-
lishment here. The train also
brought the bodies of Mrs. Gill and
daughter of Goodland, Ind.
The injured suffered mostly from
scalds due to escaping steam from
the wrecked locomotives, there be-
ing no broken limbs. Some of the
victims had inhaled steam and were
in a worse condition than the first
examination indicated.
Soon after arrival here three of
the injured died at University hos
pital and one at st. Joseph's hospital.
One of the deaths at University hos
pital was that of an old woman nam
