 SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY
Dr. Duncan Again Takes the Stand in His Trial for Shooting Bruce Head, Who He Charges Attempted to Lead His
 Wife Astray-CopieS of Letters Read.

lowed his action, but even If he had, he did not think he would have changed his course of action.
 When Dqncan's cross-examination had been concluded Head was recalled by the defense to prove that the letters destroy ed by Head after the shooting were writ ten to Head by Mrs. Duncan. Head, in answer to a direct question, admitted that Mrs. Duncan had written him six or seven letters before she came to Pitts burg. Dr. Duncan was recalled and said he had made a copy of the letter writ ten by Head to Mrs Duncan. The origi- nal, he said, was destroyed by Mrs Dun can in his presence. Head was shown the copy and admitted that he had writ ten letter something like the copy.
 The court admitted the letter in evil dence. The letter follows;
 Camp, October 3. 1902.
 sweetheart will be out for you Sun day about 10;30; you know what to tell Miss Alma, but let me know over the phone what you have done and how you have arranged to get away for the day. I am better in body, but not in mind. Have had the blues for day or two. You did not seem over anxious to talk to me last night. Hope you had nice time at the club. Yours, BRUCE" "
 The defense then rested and the address to the jury began. Judge Frazier closed his charge to the jury at o'clock. The jury had not rendered a verdict when time for the court to adjourn had ar rived and they were given the privilege of turning in a sealed verdict if they could agree on one during the night.

 H to hear more of the sensational tes-
 timony introduced yesterday after noon in the trial of Ellis Duncan, charged with thesshooting of Charles Head, crowd ed the Criminal court room today when the case was resumed. Every available seat and all the standing room was taken.
 Dr. Duncan again took the stand for cross-examination. He was self-pos- sessed and parried with ease the interro- gations of District Attorney Haymaker During the morning the defense made two attempts to introduce letters but in both cases objections were made by the com monwealth and sustained by the court In the first instance Attorney Burleigh offered in evidence letter from Pitts burg which Duncan had received and which he alleged caused him to come to this city, and in the second an effort was made by calling Head again to the stand to have him say who wrote the letters which he destroyed after the shooting MT Bureigh said his object was to cor roborate Duncans testimony of yester- day.
 When on the stand Duncan said he carried the revolver for self-prot ection, having learned of the rough characters o1 the camp. He had not thought of the legal consequences that may have fol-

 SPENT A DOLLAR
PROVED SENATE IS NOT MILLION AIRES CLUB BY FILING EX- PENsE ACCOUNT FOR REGENT ELECTION WHICH BEATS ALL.

Washington, February 20.-(Speeial. J. Senator Edmund w. Pettus of Alabama completely disproved today the prevail ing theory that all seats in the United States senate are expensive and that, body Is altogether a millionaire's club. He sent to the secretary of state of Alabama the sum of s1 in money order to cover the entire expenses for ~fis recent unan- imous election. This sum represents the fee of the secretary of state for his services in the machinery of election and notification.

gard matrimony as the supreme end and
aim Of existence, writes Robert Webster
Jones in the February Housekeeper. No
discussion of the subject can ignore the
part played by the Bachelor Girl. The
potency of woman's will shrinks into in
significance by comparison with a womans
won't and it takes two to make match
as well as a quarrel. It is interesting to
note the excuses offered by the bachelors
themselves for their unfortunate condi-
ton. Cant find an old-fashioned girl,
writes one poor fellow to the editor.
Girls heads nowadays are filled with
scraps Of poetry and science and things
they've learned at women's clubs. After
all, when you come right down to it.
marriage should be the most practical
thing in the world. It's sweetened by a
flavor of romance, and the better for it.

BARKIS ISN'T WILLING
Why Is the Modern Young Man So Slow
About Getting Mar :

MAN proposes begins the old proverb,
but it is very apparent to those who are
watching the signs Of the times that he
doesn't propose nearly so often as he used
to do. One can't help seeing that the good
old institution of matrimony is regarded
with less favor by young men than was
the case few decades ago. Whatever the
reason, the remedy should be discovered
and applied without delay, provided there
is one Three theories are advanced to ac-
count for the modern popularity of cell
bacy; the increased cost of living, the
lower wages Of men because of feminine
competition, and the greater comfort OF
bachelor life through the spread Of apart
ment houses. To these may be added q
fourth reason: the growing independence
