in part:
Mr.. Bryan and his Wife, with Mr..

the truth of the arrangement between
Mr.. Bennett and Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan.
solemn letter addressed to the wife
of Mr.. Bennett secretes from her the
fact that $4,000 was going to the wife
of this man.
In the shadow of her husbands death
Mr.. Bryan made an offer to Mrs. Ben
nett that when as trustee she should pay
to him the $4,000 bequest he would do
certain things set forth in his letter to

New York, Oct. 26.-The usual early
morning service at the Zion Restora-
ton Host in Madison Square Garden,
Monday was attended by a large crowd
OF Zion citizens with a small sprinkling
of outsiders. DR.. Dowie attended the
meeting and spoke for a short time.
Dowie said that he had no right to
the name of Dowie, and that he did not
know who his own father was. He
made this admission from the platform
at Madison Square Garden. The occa-
sion of the outburst was certain letters
published by q morning newspaper.
fpufporting to show that Dowie had cast
off his own father. Years ago, Dowie
said, he had the painful revelation
made to him that John Murray Dowie,
to whom the letters were written, was
not his father. He said the elder Dowie
handed him certain documents on
which he would speak, tonight.
powie declared that he was glad the

the decree is absurd, for if the court can

ing which that company was having
built began, today, before Judge New
burger in the court of general sessions.
Parks has been in the Tombs since
Thursday afternoon.
The array of counsel which Parks has
secured for his defense caused a good
deal of comment. James w. Osborne,
the former assistant district attorney
who prosecuted MolineuX. and Barlow
S. Weeks and George Gordon Battle,
the principal lawyers in the Molineux
defense, are joined in the defense of
Parks.
Parks entered the court room from
the prison pen and sat close to his law
yers. He carried his usual defiant ex-
preston but he did not look as healthy
as during his previous trial
On the calling of the trial Mr.. Osborne
moved for a postponement on the ground
lnat he Del1eNeu MS client cOulu not CD

case should not be called until the court
of appeals had rendered a decision on It

ance of which released Parks from Sing
Sing, to which he had been sentenced for
eXtortion of 5000 from Josephus Plenty.
Mr.. Osborne said also that Parks health
is such that counsel could not properly
consult with him. He produced atiidavits
from prominent physicians to the effect
that Parks is suffering from chronic tu-
bercHlosis of both lungs.
Judge Newberger denied the motion for
a continuance.

men began it was seen that the defend

who had formed an opinion about the
case; was antagonistic to labor organlza~
tions or unions, or was i'll any way CON

fence and in answer to questions testi-

sources that the bureau of ordnance

SO much of the argument as comes under

might have desired.
He concluded his speech of more than

relating to it be disregarded in probating
