THE DEFENSE.
Direct Examination of Prisoners Sis
MRS. SMITHS MEMORY
Direct Examination of Prisoners Sis
ter Resumed - Letter Offered by
Prosecution Again Rejected.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-The story told by
Mrs j. Morgan Smith on the witness stand
yesterday afternoon and the prospect OF
her cross-examination by counsel for the
defense today served to intensity interest
In the case of Nan Patterson who is now
on trial in the court of general sessions
charged with the murder of Caesar Young.
The appearance of Mrs. Smith as a witness
for the prosecution came in the nature of
a surprise to the defense, Mr. Levy has
said He professed to be very well salts
fed with the move however. and said that
cross-examnation of the witness would af-
ford him an opportunity to place before
the jury evidence which could not be pro-
duced in any other way. He also believes
he said, that the direct testimony of Mrs.
Smith has only served to strengthen the
case of the prisoner it supports in many
important details the testimony given by
portion of which was read to the jury yes
terday.
In the course of his examination Mr..
Rand asked Mrs. Smith if she had possessed
all the information she has testified to in
this trial all the time since she left New
York last June. Mrs. Smith replied that
she would like to answer the question, but
feared it would tend to degrade and incrmi-
nate her. as she is under indictment for
conspiracy.

AN ORDER TO BOWEN
To Report Forthwith to
Washington
IF PRESIDENT ASSENTS
TO DETERMINE EXTENT OF HIS
RESPONSIBILITY
Tor lot Of p11,pOrS in Regard to
F PRESIDENT ASSENTS
For Circulation of Rumors in Regard to
Acting Secretary Loomis-The Lat
ter's Sweeping Denial.

Secretary Taft is considering the advisa-
bility of ordering Minister Bowen to report
forthwith in Washington in connection with
the charges against Assistant Secretary
Loomis, which he conveyed to the Secretary
in a private letter. If the President as
sents this order will issue at once.
This proceeding is to determine precisely
the extent of Mr.. Bowen's responsibility for
the circulation of the charges against Mr..
IoomiS.
1t may be stated that the official mind
here is absolutely made up so far as Mr.
Loomis is concerned; it is absolutely con-
vinced of his innocence of any wrongdoing
while he was minister to Venezuela, and
that conviction has been reached after a
thorough sitting of the allegations. That
being the case, it is felt here that Minister
Bowen must show in order to escape blame
himself that he did one Of two things:
Either by private inquiry in Caracas he ar
rived at another conclusion as to the truth
fulneSs of the charges, or that he did what
he could to denounce them and to discour-
age their circulation in Venezuela.
Months ago Mr.. Bowen reported to Sec
retary Hay that rumors affecting the in
tegrity of his predecessor were in free cir
culation in Caracas and that to his own
knowledge these rumors had been promptly
Transmitted by the foreign diplomatic rep
resent&tives to the various European cap

Refused to Answer Question.

The prosecutor then promised that if she
would answer he would move next Monday
to quash the Indictment against her, but
she declined to do so until she had an op-
portunty to confer with her counsel.
After she had consulted with her counsel
Mrs. Smith declined to answer the ques-
ton. II must stick to my sister, she told
the prosecuting attorney as she resumed
the stand
And you refuse to answer, notwithstand-
ing my promise in open court to have the
indictment against you quashed?' asked
Mr.. Rand.
Il do
Again I ask you, were you in New York
on June So
Il decline to answer, because my response
might tend to degrade and incriminate me-
Recorder Goff directed the witness to an
swer the question, saying that it called for
an answer. She still declined to do So say
ing, II must stick to my sister,
'Will you answer if the indictment for
conspiracy on which you are held is dis
missed now?" broke in Mr.. Rand.

BREATHIPT REDEEMED.
Hargis-Callihan Regime Over
thrown.

The revolt against them was led
by able, fearless men, who deter
mined to have fair vote and To
have peace in Breathitt county,
even if they had to fight for it.
Preparations were made for war
that there might be peace. and
early in the morning in an alterca-
tion between Judge Hargis and
Judge elect Taulbee, it was made
plain to Hargis and his followers
that if trouble came it would be
trouble for him as much, or more,
than for their opponents.
The election four years ago was
stolen. The men who have held
offices for the last four years were
not the choice of the majority of
the people. Under the influence of
the wave of corrupt politics which
swept over kentucky the theft Of
those offices was excused, if not
justified, by thousands Of Demo-
Gratis. Judge Hargis was elected
member of the Democratic State
Central Committee. Using the
power of that position for his own
purposes, he bent to his will the
Democratic organization and cast
upon the Democratic party of the
State the odium of being his spon-
sor. Sued for dsmages by the
widow of a man who had been as
sassinated on the streets of Jack
son, he employed as his counsel
the chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee. His
adherents boasted openly that they
controlled the psrdoning power of
the State. There were facts which
gave apparent credence to that
boast.
The people Of Breathitt county
seemed 10 be without relief. Men
who opposed the machine were as
sassinated men who dared raise
their voice in protest against it
were driven from the county; the
court seemed subservient to its
com mands. In no community, not
even in shameless Louisville, did
the machine seem 10 have firmer
grasp on the offices than did the
Hargises on the offices in Breathitt
county. But it is impossible for
any machine in America to con-
tinue to rule either by corrupt
ballot or the assassin's bullet
against the will of the people.
Quietly, almost secretly, some of
the determined men of Breathitt
county began the organization Of a
Fusion ticket and induced some of
the best men in the mountains to
run on that ticket. Quietly, al
most secretly, thew consulted with
those who are famUl,r with prac-
tical politics a. 10 is played hy
desperate men. Their organiza-
tion perfected, they entered the
fight determined that there should
be a fair election in that county,
and the result is that the Hargis
regime is over and the power of his
organization broken. No longer
can he claim TO represent the State
administra tion; no longer can his
adherents boast that they control
the pardoning power; no longer
can ne ana Callahan prostitute Tine
offices of County Judge and Sher'
iff for the protection of assassin'
and the persecution of their enc.
mics.
More important to Kentucky
than any election in any city, un'
less possibly. it be the election in
Louisville, is the result In Breath
itt,county. Those who have wor
the victory there deserve, and will
receive the thanks of the honest
citizenry of Kentucky irrespective
of their political affiliations.
