AN OBSTINATE WITNESS.
Counsel in SnOyvden Case Unable to
Secure Evidence


The trial OF William Snowden. co!ored.
indicted for the murder Of Florence
Marshall. also colored- was resumed to-
day with i triangular war OF words be
tween Prosecuting Attorney Taylor,
Thomas L jones, counsel for the defence.
and Carrie. Holiday. coIored. a witness
for the Government. The witness was
hostile" and was reluctant to admit
anything damaging to the defendant. At
the same time It was evident she objected
to Mr. Jones' manner Of croSs-ezamfna-
ton, and the result was that her testi-
mony was Of little service to either the
Government Or the defendant.
When the Government closed It's side OF
the case at noon, Attorney Jones an
nounced that the defendant would not tes-
thy N his own behalf. nor would others
be called to give evidence for the defence.
Assistant District Attorney Taylor then
began his opening argument to the jury
Besides the witness, Carrie Holiday,
several others were called by the Gov
eFnmeEJ- Their evidence was practically
corroboTation OF the statements of
those who had previously testified as TO

LONDON PRESS DIVIDED.
Opinions on Lord RoseBery's Speech
Widely Differ

Widely DETer-
LONDON, Dec. I7.-There is an impress
s;on in certain quarters that Lord Rose
bery made a bid for the Liberal Union
lists to withdraw their support from the
Government and return to the Liberal
fold The Daily Mail apparently thinks
something of the k-ad is inevitable.
It says there is new party which will
absorb all tn. Sc@= men on either side
Possibly the fear % some disintegration
of this kind prompts the sour com
ment= OF the ''Sslcderd'' which alone Of
the Conservative papers condemns the
speech as a profound disappointment
It says that never was a finer oppor-
tunity more signauy misused- After this
exhibition Lord Rosehery had better to
return to his lonely furrow or his cab
bage garden There is DO place for him
in practical poIitics-7
A majority CT he newspapers regard
Lord Rosebery's speech as a nost in
pOTtant pronouncement- The Tory Morn
ing Post" says it viii readily be admitted
that Lord ROsebery's followers form a
possible alternative for the present Gov
q LA-AA-At- Ii the GCLIALI5 SSSStJA D4
lament the Government may expect that
patriotic, inteIligens Opposition, the want
CT which has been SO long keenly de-
plcred.
The Telegraph" =" independent ConserY-
ative, says that Lcrd Rosebery has risen
to the very height of lis opportunity His
speech was worthy Of its theme, worthy
of the hour, and worthy OF the reputation
of the orator. It was inspired BY patriot
ism and craftsmanship. It may prove to
have opened new line OF cleavage in ex-
listing parties It's logic Is ncthing If 1t
does not point to the attempted evoIu-
tjon of a new central party in Englisa
public life
The Daily Mail" independent, says
that Lord Rose5ery amply justified his
reputation. He has proved that as in
former times of difficulty the country has
produced a statesman
The "Chroricle. 8" moderate Liberal, says
that Lord Rosebery is pledged to place
himself at the head CT a movement which
may be called New Liberalism. Whether
