Miss Bcsschieter. the witnesses testified,
was not carried-she was assisted-to the
carriage. Then they went TO Lees road
house. four miles away, over a lonely road.
They wanted to stop at Lees to get
drink. Miss Bosschieter did not need one,
hut the men thought hey would the bet
ter for something stimulating. Lees was
closed up. They then started back. Miss
Bosschleter became Ill, with prospect of
unpleasant consequences.
They stopped at lonely place, lifted her
out of the carriage, and put her upon
blanket on the ground. They tried to in
duce her TO expel the cause of the nausea
from her stomach. They said she swooned,
as the cab driver testified, but said it was
because she was i'll. Their humane ef-
forts were not successful. Then somebody
advised taking her to the brook near by
TO battle her face with water. They did
this. She still remained unconscious.
Then they started to take her to

tention was to deposit the dead body on

and did not like to take the dead body
out before them. So they drove en- to
the Alyea ice houses. Here they depos-
tied the dead girl near the road so that
the body would be found the first thing in
the morning.

dramatic event of the day was late IN

sion, statement by statement. Judge
Dixon ruled that he had right to do
SO on the ground of testing the witness

Campbell denied seriatim having made
the admissions contained in his confess
sion. Then the prosecution called De-
tectiye Titus again and that officer an
swered in the affirmative to the ques-
tions as to whether Campbell had said
that things he had just sworn to he did
not say. The defence made a strenuous
effort to exclude this testimony. but

IN prep
aration tor conn1ct with the New York
and Bermudez Company. the vessels TO be
used probably in transporting soldiers end
army supplies to the coast ports nearest
the asphalt lakes.
The State Department learned yester
day that the Orinoco Companys steam
ers, while having British registers. sail
ed under the Venezuelan flag and not
under the British flag, as the department
understood Tuesday. What action the
British Government will take in the mat
ter has not been made known to this
Government. Instructions were sent yes
terday to Minister Loomis to represent
to the Venezuelan Government that
while the seized steamers did not sail
under the stars and Stripes American
citizens were interested financially in the
Orinoco Company. and this Government
wanted their interests respected. This
was intended merely as a preliminary
notice to Venezuela that the United
States regarded the seizures as worthy of
attention. definite policy will be de-
termined when the details have been re-
ceived.
When President Castro assumed the
reils of government in Venezuela. he
found the country in bad plight finan-
cially. The treasury had been depleted
for private purposes. The asphalt beds
in the Department of Sucre were of great
value. They were being exploited by the
New York and Bermudez Company under
a concession granted in 1888. Castro de-
clared this concession forfeited. but the
Venezuelan Supreme Court decided that
the executive had no authority to DO this,
as it was matter for judicial determina-
ton. Then Castro declared that the Ber-
mudez Company las it is popularity known
had no right to the territory it occupied.
The company's concession was described
in the official papers as beginning twenty
kilometres from a certain point and the
company in tracing the twenty kilometres
followed a meandering path through a
forest. Castro said the line should be
straight thus placing the concession be-
yond the asphalt lake districts. Then he
sold the right to exploit one of the lakes
to Warner & Quinlan. of Syracuse, y. Y.
and ordered the New York and Bermudez
Company to leave.
The Bermudez Company appealed to the
American Government for protection. The
State Department instructed Minister
Loomis at Caracas to insist that no ac-
tion in the matter should be taken until
it had been passed on by the Venezuelan
courts. A few days ago, word came from
Minister Loomis that the Venezuelan au-
thorities had informed him that they
were going o forcibly dispossess the Ber-
mudez Company without regard TO the
wishes of the United States. A protest
against this contemplated action was
made by the State Department. but no
answer was returned by Venezuela.
Tuesday the department learned that
the Venezuelan authorities had seized two
steamers of the Orinoco Shipping and
Trading Company, for use against rev.
olutionists." The department suspected
seemingly not without reason, that the
'reyolutionists." in question we're the
employees of the Bermudez Company. who
were ready to fight for the retention Of
the asphalt beds.
