ON THE STAND IN
HIS OWN DEFENSE
Levanting Lawyer Collins Gives Sen.
sational Testimony.
CHARGES OF CONSPIRACY
STORY DOES NOT AGREE WITH
THE RECORD.

sIICTORIA, 3. c., Aug. 14--After Civ
v ing expert evidence on California
law. disputing the evidence of R
N Whiting, assistant district attorney
of San Francisco, regarding its appli-
cation to perjury, George D. Collins,
being tried for extraditiOn for perjury
before Judge Lampman. gave SenSa-
tional evidence under cross eXamina-
ton by Frank Higgins, representing the
state of California. He says the evil
dence given of a marriage between him
self and Charlotte Newman at San
Francisco was utterly false and was
part of a conspiracy framed to prose-
cute him. He stated he had never
married Charlotte Newman, now styl-
ing herself Charlotte Collins in whose
suit for maintenance against him at
San Francisco the affidavit was made
him is based, but had married her sister
Agnes NJ Newman.
Finally Married Her.
His marriage with Agnes NJ. Newman
had been contracted in his Office wit
messed by DR.. EustOn and his daughter,
Jennie Euston, whose present where
abouts he did not know. He had writ
ten the contract, which he, Agnes NJ
Newman and the witnesses had signed.
He had given it to her and las not
seen it. She had continually urged him
TO go through a ceremony of marriage,
and he yielded on May 3, 1889, when the
ceremony was performed by Father
Connolly at St Johns church in San
Francisco. He had drawn $1,000 which
she had deposited in the Hibernian
bank in her maiden name as she had
assigned it to him prior to her death.
She was always acknowledged and was
buried publicly as his wife.
Certificate Was Wrong.
Mr. Higgins produced the license and
certificate of marriage in which it was
written that the marriage was between
Charlotte Newman and George D.
Collins. Collins said he had signed the
application for a license before it was
filled out, and left a client, James
Mulcahey, since deceased, to get it and
give il to Agnes Newman. The name
of Charlotte Newman must have been
placed in it by error. The placing of
the name of Charlotte Collins in the
marriage certificate was also Il mis-
take. He denied it was in his hand
writing, and said # Mr.. Groom. court
Said Witness Lied.
The testimony Of Thomas Curran and
William Newman as to the wedding
with Charlotte Newman was wilfully
lying, being eager to do anything
criminal mean or diabolical to further
the conspiracy against him. Collins
further stated that the deposition of
Charlotte Collins, who he said had no
right to so style herself, was false
The three children in her custody were
the children of her sister, Agnes, the
issue of her marriage with him. He
had not sent any money to provide for
them but would look after them as soon
as he was freed from the conspiracy
launched at San Francisco which now
engulfed him
Mr.. Higgins will continue the cross
examination of Collins tomorrow.

DECLARES FOOTBALL BRUTAL
Former Governor Lee Says College Ath-
letes Are Too Strenuous.

VERMILLION, S. D.-Former Governor A. E.
Lee of this city has offered a prize of $50 to
the winner Of the next intercollegiate oratorical
contest at the state university. In letter to
remarks that he hopes his financial condition
in the future will be such that he can make
such an offer annually. In concluding his let
ter the former governor says: "a
1T has been great disappointment to me
that the students of the stat university have
tests. glad to make this offer. hoping to
detract q little attention from athletics to
oratOry.
Il have no desire to discourage athletics.
OF any exercises and sports that so develop the
body that the mind can do better work I hear
paper Of students being injured so that they
die; when I think of the many who in
jured Of whom nothing has been said, and who
are crippled for life die untimely deaths, l
confirmed In my belief that football Is
brutal and should be abolished. Another serious
objection 1 have to the game is that the STU
dents who play must give so much valuable time
for practice, while the desire for the success
of its team spreads thru the college and causes
the loss Of much time to the student body as
a whole. do not mean this a criticism
of our university, for as long the large
colleges set the standard and make football an
essential of college life we want to have
winning team"
President Droppers, in commenting on the gift
and the letter accompanying it before the stu
dents in chapel took occasion to remark that
he was aware Of good many earnest criticisms
against football as 1t Is played today. Mdny
Of these he believed well taken. That
the game had become so strenuous that in some
instances efootball was a menace to students
rather. than benefit. He hoped that the ex-
element in intercollegiate games would be d.
m1n1Shed rather than increased.
