SAYS IAPS HAVE LEFT
PORT ARTHUR
State Of Siege Declared in Eastern
Siberia and Manchuria.

Reports as to what is transpiring
around Port Arthur are contradictory
to a high degree. Admiral Alexieff
asserts that there have been no demon
strations by the Japanese since Feb
ruary q, and that Wednesday Russian
ships were unable to ind the Japanese
within sixty miles of Port Arthur. On
the other hand, well-fortified reports
at st. Petersburg are to the effect that
Russia is about to abandon the town
after sinking the ships and that there
is expectation of an immediate capture
of the place by Japanese besiegers.
A state OF siege has been proclaimed
throughout Eastern Siberia and Man
churia.
Russian scouts who have been in the
immediate vicinity of Ping-Yang, Ko-
rea, report that 5000 Japanese troops
have arrived there, including 200 cav
alrymen. Japanese have fortified the
town and more troops are arriving
daily, landing at ChinnampO.
From Japanese sources 1t is learned
that Russians have occupied telegraph
stations in Northern Korea, but 1t is
asserted that comparatively few Rus
SLAMS have ventured across the Yalu
River. II is believed at Toxic that the
Russians will await attack in Man
churia.
The presence of Japanese war ships
close to Vladivostok is reported by
Russians, who profess to believe that
there is no blockade on account Of the
character OF the vessels The move
meDts of the Vladivostok squadron are
not mentioned.

hours. The penalty of the verdict is
death, harrington received the verdict
in silence, although he became deathly
pale and trembled visibly.
The crowd which had attended the
trial during the day remained in the
hope of hearing the verdict Several
times the report that the jury had
come to an understanding brought
the spectators scurrying back into the
courtroom. Finally the announcement
was made that the jury had reached
a verdict. The jury was brought back
into the courtroom in charge Of Dep
uty Sheriffs Offenfort and Harry
Schnecko. harrington came into the
courtroom guarded by Jailer Jake
Roth and Deputy Sheriff ]. w. Bel

The silence preceding the reading of
the verdict was intense. harrington
sat at his accustomed place as though
carved of stone. It was evident to all
that he was attempting to maintain
the same composure he had exhibited
throughout the trial. Before making
tho verdict public Judge McElhinney
warned the spectators that a demon
ST. alton would not be allowed. He then
asked the foreman Of the jury If the
verdict reached was his verdict. The
foreman In distinct voice declared
that it was. Judge MCKINNEY in turn
asked each Of the jurors the same
question and received the same an.

SHOOTS DYING WOMAN
THEN KILLS HIMSELF
No Reason Is Known for Double
Tragedy at Winchester, Ill.

Winchester, ILL.,: Friday evening
Charles Cohagen shot and killed Mrs.
Maggie ]. Flynn, wife of Thomas H.
Flynn, as she was lying on a sick bed
at the house of her mother, Mrs. Nor
man, in this city. Cohagen then went
to his own home, in the other side of
the city, and when he reached his
room shot himself, dying in a few hours.
Mrs. Flynn has been very low with
consumption for some months past,
and had returned home about a week
ago. Friday evening Charles Cohagen
called to Sc her and asked her how she
was feeling, and then, without any
other word, drew a revolver and fred
two shots at her as she lay on the bed.
Both took effect in the heart and she
died instantly.
So far as can be learned there was
no motive for the deed. Il is said that
he was infatuated with Mrs. Flynn,
and so probably committed the deed
in At Of temporary insanity.

DEFENSE OUTLINES
ITS SIDE OF CASE
Clearinghouse Attorneys to Attack
States Identification.

Clayton, Mo-: The defense opened
the presentation of its case Thursday
afternoon in tho trial of Lord" F. Sey-
mour harrington for the murder Of
his friend and benefactor, James p.
Mccain. Attorney Shelley Grover,
Barrington's counsel, made a brief
statement outlining his plans. The
examination Of witness was begun
following his statement.
With Mr.. Growers statement It be-
came apparent that the surprise"
which the defense has promised to
explain the murder or disappearance
of Mccain has melted away.
In his statement to the Jury Attorney
Grover said, in part: "our theory Of
this case is simply this: II Mccain
is dead we do not know who killed
him. We say that this was not Nc
Cams body; that is. we do not believe
the evidence is sufficient to show that
it was. Our evidence will show that
the body had a light-cOlored, short
mustache, while Mccain had a long,
black mustsche.
harrington and Mccain were
friends and went out together great
deal. Mccain was his henefactor, and
Darlington never had any trouble with
him. Mccain and Mrs. Mccain were
in constant trouble. When Mccain
asked Darlington to go to Bonfls he
did so without questioning him. The
story Darlington told about the Sub
urban garden fight was true. except
that the fight did not occur on June
IS, but a few days previous. We will
show that the two men whom Barring
ton and Mccain met at the quarry
were seen about there during the
day. They had a bay horse and bug
gy. If Darlington had told of the fight
he would have violated his promise
to Mccain, although we will show
that he did want to put the matter
in the hands Of the police few days
afterwards.
1--WE have still another theory. II
this was not Mccain, how did the
body get there? We don't know. But If
this was a scheme to have a body
found there, harrington was not a
party to it. This watch found on the
patrol wagon looks like a conspiracy.
Somebody put it there; who, do not
know harrington never had that
watch"

MRS. MCCAIN WEEPS
WHILE TEsTlFYlNG
Women Spectators Moved to Tears
by Her Grief.

Clayton, No: With the evidence of
Mrs. James p. Mccain. wife Of the
murdered man, accusing Frederick
Seymour harrington OF the crime, the
prosecution played fits strongest card
in the trial Wednesday, and practi-
cally closed the States case against
harrington. Mrs. Mccain was on the
stand for nearly eight hours, her testi-
mony taking up most Of the day, and
covering the morning, afternoon and
night sessions. The prosecution was
relying upon Mrs. McCann's evidence
to round out and clinch the chain Of
circumstances woven around Barring
ton, and she did not disappoint them.
Mrs. McCann's story was a long
recital, profuse in detail, of what passed
between her husband, harrington and
herself prior to McCann's disappear
ance, and afterward the happenings
between herself and harrington up to
his arrest. There was little that was
new in her account It was the manner
of her telling 1t that made It impress
sive-the directness, readiness and
familiarity with every detail. Twice
she burst into convulsive sobs, and It
was with difficulty that she composed
herself.
The first time she wept was when
she told of seeing the carriage in which
she and her husband had been accus-
toned to drive come up to the house
on the Sunday after his disappear
ance. Again when the clothes of Nc
Cam were laid before her, and she
was called upon to identify them, she
| cried aloud, and later when the tin
type of Mccain and harrington was
handed her. 1t was a tense moment
in the courtroom, and not a spectator
uttered sound. AS they looked on
the scene, a few of the women in the
crowd fell to weeping gently.
harrington was unmoved. He sat
stolid and emotionless, looking only
as If the whole was simply an unpleas-
ant incident which could not be
| averted. In the direct examination of
Mrs. Mccain, he leaned forward
eagerly, resting his head on his hand
and looked straight at her, taking in

turn away for moment to take notes.
When the cross-examination was be-
gun his attitude changed. He sat fac
ing the spectators, wearing sort of
defiant air, and scarcely ever turned
around to look at the woman.
While a few of the women wept
out of sympathy for Mrs. Mccain in
the morning, in the afternoon the
whole crowd laughed with her. Her
demeanor changed when she cross
examination came on, and time and
again she smiled at the questions of
Mr.. Grover. The audience smiled in
return at her shrewd answers, and her
determination not to give the defense
any chance to break down her state
ments.

McCANN'S CLOTHES
VIEWED BY JURY
witnesses Identify Garments az They
Are Spread Out In Court.

Clayton, Mo-; f. Seymour Barring
ton was confronted with the torn and
bloody garments which the prosecu-
ton alleges are the remnants of the
clothing worn by James P. Mccain
on the night of his murder at Bonfils
quarry, in his trial at this place Tues
day afternoon. The clothes we're found
September % in a creek tbree-quar-
ters Of mile east Of the quarry. They
we're spread out before the jury on
Barrington's trunk.
The States attorneys handled them
and passed them up to the witnesses.
Barrington's lawyers also looked them
over, but harrington did not offer to
touch the garments.
Without any conspicuous effort to
avoid sight of them, harrington kept
his eyes elsewhere when the clothes
were on view.
The clothes were q repulsive sight.
What had been the coat was torn
into shreds and splashed with mud.
Stains on the gray cloth are supposed
to be blood spots. A mud-bedraggled
undershirt and pieces of colored
shirt that had fallen apart, completed
the grewsome exhibit In the shirt
was found a gold collar button with
the monogram "McC,," a diamond
stud and a gold sleeve button. On the
table lay a pair of McCann's trousers,
which, the State claims, match the
cloth in the coat. The defense offered
numerous objections to the identih-
cation of the clothes. but in nearly
all instances they were overruled.
R. L. Mosely of Bridgeton, a track
man on the st. Louis. st. Charles and
Western electric road, testified that,
on September %, while working on a
bridge over a creek, he found the
clothes on exhibition. The coat was
lying in the dry bed of the stream and
the two shirts, rolled together, were
on the bank among the weeds. The
witness looked for mark he placed
on It at the time, but, failing TO find
this, identified the garment by torn
buttonhole.
