Somebody suggests that the objec-
ton in Vermont to the Brownlow bill
may be due either to the fact that the
government does not pay the whole
cost, or because Clement advocates
the bill. Such objection is unworthy
and should carry no weight in any
honest decision. If a measure is wise
and beneficial, We want it. no matter
who advocates it. If it is unwise, we
do not want it just because it costs
us nothing.

Mcdonald on the Stand,

Bedford, Ind, May 24.-James Nc
Donald, charged with the murder O?
Sarah Schafer, was put on the stand
today to testify in his own behalf.
The case for the defense was opened
with strong address to the jury. At
torney Palmer vehemently asserted the
innocence of his client and asserted
that witnesses would be presented who
would prove an absolute alibi The
first witnesses for the defense made q
strong impression on the spectators.
The general belief is that the evidence
of the state concerning the plaster
cast of the footprint at the scene Of
the tragedy has been made practically
worthless by witnesses who testified
that they put their feet in the track
and saw others do the same. General
ly the opinion rs that the defense will
make a stronger case than was at first
anticipated. 1t is noticeable that the
sentiment of the people of Bedford for
and against the prisoner is about
equally divided.

James Gillespie Goes on
Stand In His Own Be-
half at Rising Sun.
MADE GENERAL DENIAL
Man Charged With Killing His Twin
Sister Gives an Account of His
Wherea bouts.
Others of the Defenda ats Take the
Same General Ground on Wit
ness Stand.

Rising, Sun, "Ind., May 24.-Interest
in the defense in the Gillespie murder
trial is displayed today by crowd
which tests the capacity of the court
room. James Gillespie, the chief de-
PENDANT, who is charged with shooting
his twin sister, Elizabeth Gillespie,
was on the stand yesterday afternoon
and is being subjected to vigorous
crOss-examination today.
Gillespie testified that he had work
ed all day on the date of the tragedy
fixing a fence and that he ate supper
in the kitchen of the Seward home.
When he left the kitchen table he went
to the rear Of the yard and while there
he heard a sound like an explosion.
After the explosion he said he walked
toward the house and saw Belle Sc
ward and Carrie Barbour in the alley
way of the Seward house. Jane Boyle
was in the rear of the Boyle prem
Uses. He asked the women what the
trouble was and they told him that
Elizabeth had been shot. His sister,
Belle Seward, was very excited. He
tried to calm her and had to admins
ter medicine to her. He would not let
her cross the street because of her
condition. James Gillespie denied that
he ever struck or scolded his sister
Elizabeth, and disputed the testimony
of Jane Boyle, Detective Franklin and
Matt Hewitt.
After an objection by the defend
ants counsel had been overruled, the
question was asked of MyrOn Barbour
if he was not unfriendly with Eliza
beth Gillespie and he said he was, and
that he did not attend her funeral.
When asked if the cause was that she
had slandered his wife, the question
was oyerruled. as was another asking
the cause of the unfriendliness. He
was permitted, however, to say that
this unfriendliness began five years
ago At this point Attorney Span
asked "Is it not true that she had
| told you that James Gillespie was init
| mate with your wife," Before the wit
ness could reply Captain Coles jumped
| up and vehemently objected. He said
! the question was palpably intended to
have an effect on the jury and was not
a proper one. The question was ar
| gued for some time, and temporarily
| laid aside to allow presentation of AL.
thorities. Meantime the cross-exam
nation proceeded on other lines.
| Mrs. Barbour, wife of Myron Bar
bour, vas next called. She said she
was in the kitchen when the shot was
| fred. She heard the gate click after
! her husband went out. She denied
that she ever spoke to Laura John
son about vitrol throwing. She also
denied the testimony Of another wit
ness who said she called Elizabeth
| Gillespie devil. Also that Margaret
| Gillespie asked her husband if he knew
anything about the murder. On re
direct examination Mrs. Barbour sale
her husband was seated in the front
room when the shot was fired. Wher
she saw James Gillespie that night he
was cool and quiet. She said she haC
no knowledge, directly or indirectly
! of the shooting.
