DEFENDANTS STORY.
Henry Silas, on Trial for Murder,
Takes Witness Stand

Henry Silas. colored. who is on trial in
Criminal Court No. 1. accused of the MUIR
der last February of Nettie Carter. related
to the jury late this afternoon his version
OF the fatal occurrence. According to the
defendant. the evening of the shooting he
left the house where he was living with
the Garter woman in order to procure some
whisky. When he reached the Curtis House
he heard music and went in and danced for
about twenty minutes. While he was dane
ing Nettie Carter appeared and he accom-
panied her to their home. They had some
words and finally she told him he could
leave. She handed him his tooth brush, pis-
toi and other articles which had been kept
IN a bureau drawer. He placed them in
the pockets of one of his two overcoats
the defendant then went down stairs he
said the woman going with him.. While on
the lower floor she produced letter which
she had taken from one OF his pockets
and, referring to it, accused him of taking
other women to the dances at the Curtis
House. The defendant took the pistol from
the overcoat he was carrying on his arm
placed the weapon in the inside pocket Of
the overcoat he was wearing and started to
leave Nettie. he says. grabbed him, and
IN endeavoring to get the pistol tore the
oVercoat he was wearing. Before he reat-
ized what was happening the pistol was
discharged and the woman fell to the floor
1t Is expected that the case will be given
to the jury tomorrow

THE ANDREWS SEEK DELAY.
Hearing Of the Men Who Looted De-
troit Bank

DETROIT, Mich. May 22.-Concluding
arguments in the police court examination
Of Frank c. and Henry R. Andrews,
former officers of the wrecked City
Savings Bank. were begun today. When
these arguments have been finished a
strong effort will be made to secure re-
duction of F. c. Andrews bail. and then IT
Is expected a fight will follow over the
time OF trial in the recorders court for it
is conceded that the two men will be bound
over. The prosecution is anxious for
speedy and immediate trial, while the de-
tense, 1t Is understood, wants the trial set
for as distant date as possible.
Andrews counsel opened the arguments
He said he would make no motion to dis
miss the complaint which charges his client
with classifying the banks reports as a
prima facie case had been made out He
said: 1--WE have defense, but 1t will be
submitted in the recorders court" thus
tacitly admitting his belief that Andrews
will be bound over. He then moved to dis
miss the other two complaints charging
misrepresentation of the banks funds on the
ground of insufficient evidence He con-
tended that there was no evidence to show
intent to defraud the bank in any of An
drews transactions with the institution.
Henry r. Andrews attorney, ex-Judee
Waite, followed with the same motion to
dismiss the charges of Misrepresentation of
funds. In reference to the other charge
of classifying the banks reports" he said.
II want to say that we shall have a good
and sufficient defense at the proper time"

EXTENSION OF nth STREET.
Report of Commissioners on Senate
Bill 52O8,

The District Commissioners have submit
ted to Senator Mcmillan the following re-
port on Senate bill sos:
For the extension of nth street north
west from Prospect street to Columbia
road.
THE estimated cost of the widening is q @
follows: Land $4,000: grading, 81, 500; mac
adamizing, $500; total. $4,000.
In view of the large cost of the land the
Commissioners cannot recommend favor
ably the passage of the bill, although 1t is
not likely that the land could ever be OBJ
tanned more cheaply than 1t can now. The
Improvement is. however, more or less of
local benefit. as 10th street extended a
wide avenue. Is only a block east Unless
the entire cost of the widening Is assessed
against the abutting property-which it is
hardly thought the property could Justly
bear, and which is not provided for in the
biii-it Is not thought that the general in
terests of the District would warrant such
large expenditure"
