outside her home ON Tuesday morning
last, was concluded with d verdict by
the jury that the young wonlan's death

son unknown to the jury. Mrs. Bechtel
and the members of fss her family and
s.Aloise Eckstein, the girls lover, were
called before the jury today BUT on, the
advice of their attorneys they declined
to answer questions on the ground that
they might incriminate themselves. The

We find that Mabel Bechtel came to
her death at 622 Cedar Street Cher
homel between Sunday evening, Oct
rs, and Tuesday morning, Oct 27, and
that death was due to a fractured skull

Alois Eckstein are accessories after the
fact of the crime. ss !

NOT HER CHILD
Attempt to Prove Countess Isabella
Practlced Fraud to Gain
Heir to Estate.

Berlin, Oct. 3I.-A striking incident,
Of the trial Of Countess Isabella
Wcsieka Kwilecki, who is charged with
presenting a male child, not her own,
as the heir to an estate at Wroblcdwo,
where's the child is alleged TO be the
son Of a peasant girl, was the appear
afice before the court of a suppositots
son of the countess, beside the eldest
boy Of the peasant girl referred to-,
Both boys were dressed alike. While
persons. in court arose in body and
craned their nccks forward to see the
children, the jurors gathered about the
two boys iii groups. The impression
was iridecisive. Some Of the experts
said they saw a great resemblance be-
tween the supposed little peasant and
the eldest boy of the peasant girl,
while others claimed there was fam
lily resemblance to the younger boy
and the Countess Isabelle
u An Austrian physician, Won Zieglef,
testified that the peasant girl in the.
case. had borne him two children and
the second was born in December, 1906.
The girl, he said, reported to him that
she had given the child TO a childless
couple, to which arrangements the cap-
tain gave his consent. He never saw
the child himself Various witnesses
from Wrobledwo gave testimony favor
able to the countess. Some Of them
who saw her immediately after the res
ported birth sof the little count said that
they were fully convinced that no fraud
had been committed e
Detective Tard, of the police, testified
that he had instituted inquiries among
the Paris midwives and had discovered
one, Madame Ranol, who said that a
foreign lady, speaking French with a
German accent, tried in July 1896, to
procure a new born boy from her. When
shown a photograph Of the CouHess

SAM PARKS
Well Known New York Walking Dele
gate Convicted Second
Time of Ext0rtiOn.

New York, Oct 3I.-For the second
time within two months Samuel J.
Parks, walking delegate OF the House
smiths and Bridgemen's Union No. z,
was convicted of the crime of extortion
in the court of general sessions. 1t
took the jury Just twelve minutes, DUR
ing which time they took two ballots
to agree on the guilt of Parks in ex-
torting $500 from the Tiffany studios,
a firm of contractors, under threat OF
keeping them from continuing work on
the buildings last January. 1t was
shown at the trial that Parks had OBJ
tanned $500 from the Tiffany firm as al,
Imitation fee last January, when the
housesmiths and bridgemen were on a
strike on three Of the Tiffany contrats
in this city. Parks claimed that this
money was fine levied by his labor
union. Later the fact developed that
Parks had been disloyal to his union
inasmuch as he permitted the Tiffany
firm to employ non-union men on the
concerns job after having received the
$500. This accusation was denied BY
the defendants or his counsel during
the trial, but the latter contended that
Parks had given the money to the
treasurer Of his organization, and that
the entire transaction VIZ, business
deal, which, instead Of being a crime,
afforded considerable business adyan-
tage to the firm which paid the money.
The counsel for Parks endeayored to
introduce certificates as to the pris-
oner's delicate state Of health, but
Judge Newberger, before whom the
case was tried, refused to admit them
in his. charge. Judge Newberger said
that il made no difference what dis
position Parks made Of the money aft
er he had obtained it from the repre-
sentatives of the Tiffany firm, if in the
belief sof the jurynlen he had obta3ned
it unucr a threat direct or implied, as
that fact would constitute extortion.
