THE CROWLEY CASE
IS STARTED
IContinued from First Page.

interest than during the preceding ses-
sions and the attendance of spectators
was small. The railroad counsel offer
ed in evidence views of the Watson
town crossing where J. O. Crom-
ley and his son were killed and En-
gineer Hopkinson, whose office is in
Williamsport, was on the witness stand
long time explaining the views.
Attorney Hinckley offered the testi.
mony adduced at the first trial rebut-
aaI of statements of Edward KIeisber
and David Foust. Attorney Scarlet
recalled Charles Waltman to establish
what cars were on the siding near the
crossing where the fatality occurred.
The witness said there was box car
in which he had been for pulley fif-
teen minutes prior to the accident and
he didn't see it removed from the sid
ing.
Charles Murray of Limestone town
ship, was called in rebuttal of the
testimony Of persons witnessing the
accident from the Hin ebach house.
He state that when talking to one of
the Hinebaoh women after the accid-
ent she said Mr.. Cromley looked up
the railroad and his boy looked down
the track before going on the crossing,
a stop being made fifteen feet from the
track. David Foust of Limestone
township, next testified to finding
Murray at the Hinebach house and to
hearing someone say as he (the wit
ness) entered something about seeing
body thrown into the air. He did
not hear the conversation with Muir
ray, who did not tell him of it for two
weeks after that.
Mrs. Wallace Dean of Limestone
township, testified that Allen Hine-
bach called at her home to sell lini :
ment and in conversation remark ed
that he did not see the accident.
Lawyer Scarlet proposed to offer as
evidence to show the expectsnce OF
life the American mortality tables, but
Judge White ruled that only figures
from the Carlisle tables could be con-
sidered and ordered the testimony OF
Mr.. Slider, containing American mort
ality figures, stricken out. While Mr..
Scarlet was procuring the Carlisle
| tables a recess was taken.
The argument OF the case was start
ed at the afternoon session of Court
but did not end then and night ses-
sion was held to finish it. The court
room was completely filed at the night
session. The interest was intense. At
torney Hinckley argued for the defense
along lines of contributory negligence
and his effort was an able one. Law
yer Scarlet maintained the only neg
ligence was OIL the part of the Penn,
sylvania Railroad Company. His con-
cluding plea to the jury was mastery.
1t evoked tears in more than one Sec
| tton of the court room. He flushed at

General StOeSSel
Sacrifices War Vessel S

OHE FOO, Nov. Is. The Russian
topedo boat DESTROYER Rastorophy,
which reached this harbor from Port
Arthur early this morning bearing dis
patches from General Stoessel to the
Ozar has been blown up to prevent it
falling to the hands of the Japanese.
1t is rumored that the boat brought
q dispatch from General Stoessel ask
ing the St. Petersburg authorities for
instructions 8 to whether he would
continue to hold out, awaiting relief
or make immediate arrangements with
the japanese for surrender upon the
most advantageous terms possible.
This rumor cannot be confirmed but
il is obvious that only dispatches of
she highest Importance would impel
General Stoessel to risk the loss Of 3
warship, by sending her out upon such
q mission, in face of the rigid blockade
maintained off Port Arthur by the
Japanese feet The Rstsorpny brought

In one of the issues it is stated that
while Japanese destroyer was laying
mines on Nov. IL she was surprised by
she battleship Retvizsn and sunk. Her
commander declared all forts remain

The great Importance of the infor-
nation is apparent from the fact that
the torpedo boat destroyer was delib-
erstely sacrificed in order to get the
communication from the beleagured
garrison The only word which has
reached the admiralty is telegram
from the captain of the Rastorophy,
announcing his arrival with official
dispatches.
An attempt of the Japanese to repeat
the Ryeshitelni incident in Chinese is
confirmed. The captain reports that
the Rastoropny will be disarmed and
