GRAY CASE CLOSED.
Evidence is All i'm and Argument
Has Begun.

Chicago, March 25.-The case against
Dr. Robert E. Gray, of Garden City,
Kas., charged with the murder of Irma
Brown, probably will be given to the
jury today. All the evidence was pre-
sented Monday, and argument began
this morning.
When court adjourned last night,
John E. Northrop had partly finished
his argument before the jury. Mr..
Northrop set forth the position of DR..
Gray. The methods of the prosecution
he denounced as the most shameless
and contemplate he had ever seen in
a court room. He accused the state
with poisoning the minds of the jury
by insinuating a hundred charges
against the defendant and his wit
nesses In his narration of the story of
Irma Brown, Mr. Northrop made an
impassioned appeal and many of the
women in the room were in tears as he
talked.
1.-The widest note of despair that can
come from the human throat is sound
ed by such girls as Irma Brown" said
the. lawyer. To-day there are thou
sands of Irma Browns in the world.
Gentlemen of the jury, you can not
understand this case unless you take
into consideration the mental agony
through which Irma Brown passed dur
ing the last few months of her life. A
novelist who wishes to portray the
deepest and most terrible passion which
humankind is heir to, invariably finds
his character in Irma Brown.
IF you understand such mental
condition. said he. then you are in a
position to explain many of the incl
dents that have come under your notice
in this trial. You can understand the
motives of the physician in allowing
her to accompany him to Chicago in
hope of finding her a place of seclu-
sion.
1.-The assistant states attorney, Mr.
Carey, in his address arraigned DR..
Gray as man without a particle of
sympathy in his makeup, a man whose
character was too black to permit any
thing of good to enter into it,
The prosecution had number of re-
buttal witnesses who were put on the
stand. Among the first of these was
Mrs. Imogene Huey, who was chief wit
ness for the state on direct testimony.
In her testimony Mrs. Huey contradict
ed some of the evidence of the defense
concerning the pressure that was
brought to bar on the dying girl at the
county hospital to induce her to make
the statement she did. Other witnesses
of the same character followed
In his testimony DR.. Wheelock cheer
fully admitted that he expected to be
paid at the rate of $50 day for his ex-
pert testimony, saying that those were
his regular Rates.
Charles F. Olney. salesman for Arm
helm, the tailor, testified to receiving
from DR.. Gray the skirt and jacket OF
Miss Brown to be cleaned. This was an
other strong point DIR. Gray had teSti-
fed to taking the garments there after
they were torn and soiled in the tunnel
fall.
A case involving so much medical
testimony has not been tried in Cook
county since the Luetgert case, when
the subject of human bones consumed a
great deal of time and money. The
Gray trial has been theoretical course
in surgery from beginning to end.

Passengers on Chicago Street
Railway Cars.
Fight With Employees Who Try
to Put Them Off.
ROW OVER TRANSFERS.
Back and Forth They Go From
Trolley to Cable.
Lines We're Tied Up and Law
suits Will Follow.

Chicago March 25.-The citizens of the
South end of Austin engaged the en-
ployes of the Union and Consolidated
Traction companies hand to hand in the
fight for Universal transfer which
Judge Ball has decided must be given.
Eighteen men headed by w. E. Golden,
a druggist, rode back and forth on the
West Madison street lines demanding
transfers from the trolley to the cable
and back again. They were refused, as
had been expected and the efforts of the
street car crews to eject them from the
cars resulted in two pitched battles,
which tied up both lines for some time.
In the battle Golden'S back was sprain-
ed and he was otherwise injured.
None of the others was seriously hurt.
A large number of suits against the
companies is threatened as a result of
the fight.

HAD A ROUGH TRIP.
Ocean Steamer Forced to Put in at
Bermuda.

New York, March 25.-With her coal
and water supplies almost exhausted,
the steamer North America has arrived
here. She had been forced to put into
Bermuda on her way from Genoa and
Naples, much to the relief of her 42
cabin and 1900 steerage passengers, who
had lived for days in fear of disaster.
Among the passengers was Frederick
Taylor, fellow of the Royal Geograph-
fcal society, who for the last 16 months
has been travelling in Borneo, Japan,
China and Hawaii.
We were but one day out from
Naples when the first storm struck US,
said Taylor. THE heavy sea washed over
the vessels decks. The ship had small
cargo and rolled heavily.
THE emigrants were lying all over
the decks exposed to the elements and
mothers with babes in their arms were
drenched to the skin by the sea which
kept breaking over the decks.
ON the night of March IS, the vessel
was able to make small heRdway
against the furious storm. Every sea
that struck the ship shook her from
stem to stern and the crying and wall
ing of the emigrants who were panic
stricken made it a night of horror for
US all.
"The captain did his best to calm the
emigrants' fears but it was of no avail
and after a consultation of the officers
it was decided to steer for Bermuda.
When the America reached Hamilton
the coal had run short and the fresh
water had nearly given out"
