MABEL BECHTEL TRIAL

ALLENTOWN, Pa, January 16-Jennle
Conrad, a young woman employed at the
ST. Charles Hotel, this city, was the first
witness today in the Bechtel trial. She
testified that Mabel Bechtel and Weisen-
berg visited her at the hotel on Sunday
night, October 25 The witness states that
on that night Mabel wore brown skirt,
white silk shirt waist, black hat, trimmed
with black plumes and a three-quarters
length tan coat. This outfit is entirely diff
ferent from the one the girl wore when
found dead on the following Tuesday
morning On that occasion. witness said
Mabel told her she was going to be married
to Eckstein. She also said her mother OBJ
jected' to her associating with Weisenberg
because the latter did not intend to marry
her.
Counsel for the defense asked the wit
ness question concerning the character of
the hotel The district attorney objected
and defendants counsel said:
'I believe we can show the reputa ton OF
a house as we'll as that of a person. We
wish to do this because 1t is part Of the de-
fense's theory that Mabel received her in
juries In a house of that character. We
further wish to show the nature of the
places Mabel visited at night"
Chief of Police Eastman was recalieQ anu
questioned concerning the stains on Tom"
BechteTs bed sheet and the carpet In
his ROOM Chief Eastman said Mrs. Brobst,
one of Mabels sisters, had told him Tom
chewed tobacco in bed, and that the stains
were caused by tobacco juice. The witness
said that the ingram carpet on the floor
of the room contained damp spot, and
appeared to have been washed. The next
day he visited the house and a rag carpet
had been substituted for the ingram car
pet.
Mabel Strunk, who was friend of Ma
casion she heard Miss Bechtel and
Eckstein quarreling on the street. Eek
stein accused the young woman of
drinking and associating with other
men. They parted on the corner. Witness
said Mabel Bechtel wanted to board at her
home because she desired to receive the at
tentions of Weisenberg, to whom Mrs.
Bechtel objected.
Witness was asked If she knew whether
Eckstein gave Mabel Bechtel an engage
ment ring. She replied:
Yes sir l wore it at one time Mabel
gave it to me to wear a little while"
Did you ever hear Mabel and Tom
Bechtel Cuarrel?'
Il know they didn't speak to each other"

TROOPS WERE ON GUARD.
Helped to Suppress Fire and Prevented
Disorder at Havre. Mont.


The acting adjutant general has received
the following telegram from Col. J. H.
Dorst, Sd Cavalry, at Fort Assinniboine.
Mont, in regard to the action of regular
troops in aiding to put down the fire at
Havre Wednesday night:
"One block, town of Havre. burned We'd
nesday night. Fire started again at noon
yesterday burning the business portion and
greater part of the town. Sent infantry
battalion yesterday afternoon to assist.
Town was in condition of chaos owing to
large rough element and influx of tramps
from points on railroad. Last, night rob-
berry was feared while best element was
worn out fighting fire yesterday and night
before.
1.-The town being without a fire depart
ment or a water system the mayor asked
for troops to guard property last night l
explained that this was contrary to law,
and advised him to call on the governor
for militia, which could not arrive until
today. However, the appeal was 80 urgent
and the advisability of guard so evident
that thirty selected cavalrymen were sent
to Havre last night under Captains Rice
and Thayer to guard property only, and
with most stringent orders not to arrest,
interfere with or come into collision with
any civilian, but report disorder at once
to the civil authorities for action. The
troops were relieved and returned this
morning without any accident during the
night. No request has come yet for as
sistance on account of destitution, but 1t is
very possible that one will be made
