WALLACE TRIAL.
Defense Of the Man Who Killed Nc
Cannon Begun at Socorro.

In the trial Of Wallace for the muir.
der Of MeCannon in Soeorro county
the defense has begun.
First were introduced character Wi
nesses as to Waliace's reputation.
Messrs. Stevens, Aragon, Pine, Bald

stand, all testifying that they hal
known Wallace for several years. each
declaring that his reputation was 6 ,od.
he being of a quiet disposition and
law-a5iding.
Wallace on The Stand.
The climax was reached by the sud-
den appearance Of Wallace in his own
defense. He was on the stand for
three hours and swore that he was iuet
by McCannon's first bullet hitting he
door. He then jumped inside the
room and McCannon fired repeatedly
until four shots were fired; that Wal

MEN TRAMPLE WOMEN
TO DEATH IN FACTORY
Panic-stricken cigarmakers at New
York in Mad Rush to Escape
From Fire.

New York, Jan. 26.-Three women
were trampled to death and five wom-
en- and one man severely injured in
a panic in Leopold Miller G Sons CT
gar factory on Crosby street as re-
suit of fire in an adjoining. building.
The dead: Jennie MESSING, Fannie
Kerstberg, Mrs. Mary Sparbara.
The flames from the burning build
ing beat against the walls of the CT
gar factory, causing panic among
the 500 men, women and boys at work.
There was a wild rush for the fire
escapes at the front and rear ends Of
the building, in which the weaker
were crushed and trampled by the
stronger. The men pushed the women
aside and when they reached the sec.
ond story instead of waiting for the
ladders to be raised pushed the wom-
en- off to the ground fifteen feet down
and leaped themselves. In this way
many women were hurt.
The worst scenes, however, were on
the stairways, by which crowds of the
panic-stricken employees tried to
escape from the building. The men
shrieked as if mad and, knocking the
women down, trampled them under
foot. At the third story there was a
blockade and had it not been for the
timely arrival of the police the death
list would have been much longer.

latter to vote for the building of more
submarine boats. The accusations
were made at the first hearing given
by the House committee on naval af-
fairs in its investigation of Mr.. Less
ler's charges.
Mr.. Lessler said Philip Doblin,
deputy in the office of John McCullagh,
York, called on him Uessler), repre-
senting that he had been sent by Mr..
Quigg and that Mr.. Quigg had told
him there was $4,000 in it If he (Less-
ler) could be brought to the other side.
Mr.. Lessler said that on his rejection
of the proposal Doblin suggested that
Mr.. Quigg was a man of power and in
1uence and "that If wanted to come
back here would be aiding myself by
doing this favor"
Mr.. Lessler then told of an inter
view he had with Mr.. Quigg at the lat
ter's solicitation. He said Mr.. Quigg
did not mention torpedo boats, but
added: 'As l had no other business
with him / inferred it was on this &C
count he came to see me-" He said
he told Mr.. Quigg there must be no
suggestion of money raised.
Mr.. Lessler told of conversation
he had with Mr. McCullagh in Wash
ington. Mr.. McCullagh, he said, told
him that there were men in New York
who could re-elect him or defeat him
and that they wanted him to support
the submarine boat measure. Mr..
I.essler said he told McCullagh he
could not do it. This testimony was
corroborated by Mr.. Lessler's secre-
tary, Frank B. Zon.
Mr.. Quigg, who was present, asked
for an early hearing, but the commit.
tee decided first to hear Mr.. Doblin,
and he was summoned from New
York.
Mr.. Quigg made statement denying
the allegations made concerning Dob
lin so far as they associated him
(Quigg) with offers of money, but adj
hitting that he called on Lessler in
the interest of the submarine boat bill.
He said he had no personal interest in
the measure, but did this for friend,
whose name, he said, he would give to
the committee.
