MAKES DEMONSTRATION
Suddenly Marriott broke away and
started up the stairs at a rapid gait.
When he reached the bend in the stairway
ne turned and made a demonstration as
If to draw a weapon. At the time VIII
iiams testified he was standing almost at
the center of the stairway and had taken
no part in the affray further than to say
"Give IL to him, Trux.
When witness believed that Marriott
had paused at the bend of the stairs to
draw a weapon he took a revolver from
his person and fired three shots as rap
idly as possible At the conclusion OF this,
as there was nobody on the stairway, he
went to the end of the hall, secured his
hat and left the house
Williams was subjected to long cross
examination by Hiram w. Johnson, the
special prosecuting attorney. who has
been called into the case. The first few
questions developed the fact that the wit
ness had in his possession the revolver
with which Marriott had been wounded
and a dagger which he was In the habit
of carrying. As he had both of these in
his possession on the night of the alleged
assault Judge Cook ordered them intro
duced in evidence as part of the prosecI-
tion's case.
STORY is UNSHAKEN.
Under fire of innuendo the witness lost
his temper once or twice. but his main
story was unshaken as regards the events
of the might in question. In his direct
testimony he stated that Mrs. Marriott
had not started downstairs while he was
in the hallway and all the questions Of the
prosecution failed to change him In this
fact. After Marriott had passed out OF
sight he admitted seeing Mrs. Marriott
at the head Of the stairway and at once
turned away seeking his hat When he
secured this he left the house in company
with Beale.
In answer to questions by Prosecuting
Attorney Johnson Williams said that he
and Beale went to Marriott's house sim
ply for the purpose of obtaining retrac-
ton Of the slanderous article published in
the News Letter regarding Miss Marie
ing that any physical punishment was TO
be meted out TO Marriott and he went
there simply as friend Of Beale to see
that he was not overpowered by Marri-
otis friends In case of trouble.
The Scuff1e in the hallway between Mar
riott and Beale was fully gone into. and
the witness testified that while he was in
a position to interfere behalf of his
friend he made attempt to do so, nor
to stop Marriott as he ran up the stair
way He simply looked on switching his
position from the hallway to the center
of the stairway.

Many signs point 10 an animated con-
test and ore that will bring out the
largest vote ever cast at an election in
this club There are no indications of
extreme acrimony or bitterness, but ac-
tive efforts on behalf of each ticket are
plainly shown.
Colonel Pippy's champions contend that
he is entitled to reelection in recognition
OF the exceptional energy of his admins
ration During the last year the MEM
bership of the club has been largely in
creased. and quite a handsome sum of
money has been placed in bank TO the
credit of the league.
D. E. McKinlay is now the first vice
president of the club. and his friends
maintain that he is entitled, according to
the spirit and traditions of the institu-
ton. to promotion to the presidency. 1t
is contended that the regular nominating
committee exceeded its authority in
adopting a rule excluding Federal and
State officeholders from the regular tick
