rroaress on Cup Defender.

Bristol, R. l., April - With the
mainmast and most of it's rigging in
place and the bowsprit attached, the
bow of the cup defender Reliance has
settled and she floats now with the
bow much lower than the after part
Even when the main boom is on board
and the boat attains her designed bal
ance, it is thought that she will still
be distinguishable from the other 90
footers at a distance by dip forward.
1t seems certain that she has a lower
free board than the Constitution by at
least inches. The riggers are at
work rigging up double bobstay
which is somewhat of an innovation
In cup defenders. An extra set of
spars, including the gaff, boom and
mast, exact duplicates OF the ones now
aboard, are being made for the yacht.

CHARLES FAIR CASE.
Further Startling Developments Are
Promised In Court.

San Francisco, April 1.-THE Call
this morning says startling develop
ments are promised in the Charles Fair
case now before the New York courts.
1t is alleged that facts have come to
light here most damaging to the testi-
mony given a few days ago In New
YORK by Iucien Mas and Alfred ]. Mo-
rane, the Franchmen, who were called
to recount certain incidents attending
the death of Charles Fair and his wife
In France, which, If true, would strong
ly tend to establish as a fact that Mrs.
Fair survived her husband and thus
left her own relatives the direct heirs
to the fortune inherited under these
circumstances to her husband
1t has been learned. continues The
Call, that the skulls of the late Mr..
and Mrs. Fair, whose bodies were
shipped back to San Francisco after
they had been relinqulshed by the
French authorities have been preserv-
ed and are now in the custody of re-
sponsible persons here, ready to be pro-
duced when the time comes for refut-
ing the evidence given in New York.
Whether they will be sent to New York
or remain here is a matter that is to
depend wholly upon move that is to
be made shortly to have the case trans
ferred to the courts of this city. When
the bodies of the Fairs were received
In New York from France they were
discovered to be in such a decom.
posed condition that it was deemed ad.
visable to hasten the funeral in San
Francisco. 1t is now stated that the
funeral was followed by an autopsy,
that, including the decapitation OF
both bodies, an operation that was
made by Drs. Galway and Robinson
The testimony of Mas and Morane
that Mrs. Fair was living when they
approached the bodies and that blood
was streaming down one side of her
face is contradicted by concrete evil
dence-the woman's skull. 1t can be
shown by the skull that such would
have been an impossibility, it is claim.
ed The skull of Charles Fair, now in
the safekeeping of his friend was not
-c-,~,.lShed in the manner described by
the French Witnesse.~..-..,,-r fact, 1t re,
mains intact although showing a de.
preston caused by a forceful contact,
which resulted in concussion of the
brain and the death of the man.

DEATH PENALTY PAID
BY AGED MURDERER
Execution of DR.. James Can
trell at Butler, Mo.
1900 PERSONS WERE PRESENT.

Gartrell Was Hanged For the Murder
of a California Miner and Was Old
est Man In Missouri Upon Whom a
Death Sentence Was Passed.
Butler, Mo, April 17.-Dr. James L..
Gartrell, the aged murderer of D. B.
Donegan, a Colorado miner, was hang
ed in the county Jail yard here today.
About 1900 persons witnessed the
execution, many coming to town from
the surrounding country. The Rev.
Williamson, of the Christian chruch,
addressed the crowd from the. scat
fold before the condemned man was
brought in. DR. Gartrell displayed
remarkable nerve and talked briefly to
the spectators before the black cap
was adjusted He stated that he had
only one enemy he could not forgive,
but would not mention his name.
Story of the Crime.
In March, 1901, D. B. Donegan, a
gold miner from Gunnison, Colo, came
here to provide himself with an outfit
to drive overland to Oklahoma, where
he intended to buy a ranch He met
DIR. James l.. Gartrell and the Iatter's
son, William. An arrangement was
made that the three should drive to
Oklahoma together.
When about 100 miles from Kansas
City the party stopped to spend the
night in deserted cabin. The three
men lay down to sleep, but only the
two younger men slept. When the
younger Gartrell awoke he saw that
his father had killed Donegan by split.
ting his head with an ak. The young
man said to his father: What did
you kill him for?"
Because, son, we needed the
money, answered the old man.
Dropped Body Into Creek.
The two men carried Donegan's body
to a nearby creek and dropped it in.
The spring freshets soon washed the
body out on the banks, where it was
found about two weeks later. Suspi.
cion was directed toward the GartrelIs
and when investigation was undertook
it was learned that GartreII held the
team Of horses in the neighborhood
where the crime was committed, and
the father and son were arrested. DR..
Gartrell later confessed that he killed
Donegan, entirely generating his son,
but insisted that he did it in self-de.
fense.
Dr.. Gartrell was the oldest man upon
whom the death sentence has ever
been pronounced in Missouri. He was
68 years old. He was feet tall. very
erect, despite his age, and wore a long,
flowing beard. He was once a mem.
ber Of the Texas legislature. He was
once a probate judge of Refugio coun-
ty, Texas.
