SECRET WILL SAVE HER
Labor Opens for Defense in Cele-

PARIS, Aug. 2O.-Maitre Labori yes
terday opened his address in defense of

Humbert had not said she had a secret
and intended to keep it, but she hal
frankly said she had a secret which she
intended TO divulge fully, and which she
relied upon TO save her
She has given counsel her confidence,
telling him her reason for believing that
the Crawford millions existed, but she
had not asked him to verify the facts.
so he was not able to state them as mat
ters of his own knowledge or TO offer his
guarantee for her statement, feeling that
she was fully able to present her own
disclosures.
Concerning the testimony, Maitre La
bori maintained that 1t was not sufficient
to convict the Humberts of any specific
act of forgery or swindling; that it con-
sisted of rather vague, general allega-
tions that the Crawfords did not exist,
and that the millions did not exist. H.
insisted that it was insufficient for the
prosecution to demand where are the
Crawfords?" and where are the mil
liOns?" but that it was incumbent on the
prosecution TO establish af1irmatively
that both the Crawfords and the millions
did not exist.

SCORE OF DETECTIVES

SHACKLED HIS CAPTOR
IN TRAIN AND FLED
AS Detective Slept, His Prisoner
Made Tracks.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 20.-Albert
Ecklund, alias George Johnson, who was
captured at Rawlins and was being
taken back to Chicago to answer a
charge of grand larceny, made his es-
cape from William Marsden, a detec-
tive.
Marsden left Rawlins Sunday night
with Ecklund. and to make sure of his
man shackled him to seat in the smok-
ing compartment of a chair car While
Marsden was sleeping beside his pris-
oner. Ecklund went through the detec-
tive's pockets, obtained the keys to the
shackles, released himself and then
shackled the detective to the steam
pipes.
Having relieved the man OF his
weapons and other property, Ecklund
left the train at Laramie. Marsden was
not awakened by the conductor until
Cheyenne was reached, when he called
for assistance.
AS Marsden had absolutely nothing on
his person to prove that he was not a
prisoner. the trainmen would not re-
lease him. The railroad authorities
telegraphed to Chicago for instructions.
and when the train reached Sydney,
MaTsden was finally released and started
in pursuit of his man again.

EIGHT ONE-EYED MEN
ON THE SANE CRUISE
Sailors Thought They'd Never
Reach Land, But They Did.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2o.-Another
sailors superstition has received its
deathbIow.
From time immemorable a one-ryed
man has been considered ''hoodoo" of
the most malignant kind on board ship.
No self-respecting sailor would go 10
sea with a one-eyed man If he could help
it.
But a most prosperous voyage ended
yesterday when the steamship Switzer-
land came into port with eight frst-class
one-eyed hoodoos on board.
When the sailors saw the first man
with one eye missing come up the gang
plank they waxed grave; when the sec
ond stepped on deck they became
gloomy. but when the third put in ar ap-
pearance they began TO make arrange
rDents TO dispose of what little property
they possessed.
But when five appeared In bunch they
abandoned all hope and thought OF the
future. The time was short, but they all
determined to live sober and proper
life while life lasted.
There was so little profanity in the
fo'castle that the first mate thought the
whole crew was sick. and he administer
ed a dose of castor oil. When this was
taken without a grumble he sough: the
cause.
Then he learned of the eight one-eyed
men and promptly Joined the mourners.
He was actually civil to the men until
the ship got inside the capes. Then he
turned loose and the crew began to
grumble. The men could not under
stand their good luck until one old salt
solved il by saying:
Its this way. Tommy. When a man
takes too much poison he don't die, but
Just goes right along. One or two one
eyed men would have made lots of
trouble. but eight was an overdose and
we got off lucky"

supply them whenever an interchange
able mileage book is rendered. In all
other respects the book Will remain as
