DO you know who killed your sis
ter Mabel:'' she was asked Il do
not" came the answer in an emphatic
tone.
DO you know anything otherwise
than what you have stated here today
relative TO Mabers death?" Il do not"
This ended her direct examination. On
cross examination, Martha admitted
that there was considerable trouble be-
tween her mother and Mabel about
Weisenberg. and that Tom and Mabel
did not speak to each other for Il year;
even when the two met at the table
for meals not Il word passed between
them.
Brothers Also Deny.
John and Charles Bechtel. who along
with Martha and the mother are also
charged with being accessories after
the fact to the murder of Mabel, de-
MED that they knew anything about
the death of their sister. Mrs. Maggie
Miller, the neXt-dOOr neighbOr to the
Bechtels, testified that Il rag carpet,
and not an ingram carpet as the police
swore, lay in the Bechters spare room
on the day the body was found.
Eckstein's Testimony COntradicted.
The defense called several persons
who saw and spoke with Mrs. Bech-
tel on Monday, oct. 26, on which day
they said she appeared, in her usual
demeanOr. Fred Adele and J. +. Al
len Newhard told of Toms conduct
when he learned of Mabel's death. He
very much grieved. and his
grief seemed genuine. TO Newhard
he stated that he wanted to attend
Mabcrs funeral very badly, thus con
tradicting Eckstein's testimony. which
was to the effect that Tom said he
could not face it. James II. EckPrt
and Amos Meas Swore that they saw
Mabel Bechtel on the street at differ
ent times on Monday. oct. 26 the day
after. the prosecution alleges Mabel
was killed.

CLEVELAND MAY

Former Senator Smith Anxious
That He Stand to Help Elect
Parker.

Trenton, Aug. 9:-That former
President Grover Cleveland will con.
sent to be the democratic nominee for
tho Goyernorship of New Jersey for
the sake of aiding in carrying the
State for Judge Parker is the hope of
former United States Senator James
Smith, Jr.
Mr.. Smith believes that Mr. Oleve-
land will accept the nomination, but
in the event of his declination Mr..
Smith will be willing to accept any
good man for the place. He will even
concede the nomination to Charles O.
Black, of Hudson county, whom he
has heretofore been opposing.
Democratic leaders other than Mr..
Smith are not inclined to believe that
Mr.. Cleveland would be willing to
enter State politics even for the sake
of aiding Judge Parker. They predict
the nomination OF Mr.. Black, although
there are several other men being
mentioned in connection with the
place,

length, with Alex Campbell second. In
the 2:17 pace, a dash of half a mile,
Florence Wilton was made a favorite at
2 to 1, but at the word Winnie King
took the lead and looked all v a win
ncr TO the distance, when Gordon
Prince came with a lightning rush and
won by half a length.
The big event of the day was the

which the gray geldfng DR.. Strong ruled
the favorite at yer money. In the first
