The greatest sensation Of them all
came yesterday in the trial of Mrs.
Gene Blackshire. for the murder of
her husband, when she mounted the
witness stand and testified in her
own behalf. For three hours she
was kept there alternately telling her
story Of the murder and answering
a fire Of cross examination which
was SO pointed and so searching that
at the end Of 1t all she walked down
weak and pale and almost sank to the
floor. Everything was gone over in
those three hours and the woman suf.
fered visibly. Her relations with
other men were introduced by the
defense and this gave the State its
chance. Some Of the most damaging
admissions were dragged from the
woman's lips because a denial of the
direct and pointed questions of the
State would have meant her lmpeach-
ment.
After the usual preliminary ques-
tions Mrs. Blackshire, was led up to
the night of the murder by Attorney
Ferrall, who conducted the examina-
tion for the defense. The woman,s
long silence was broken and for the
first time since she was arrested she
made a public statement concerning
that tragedy, and 1t differed material
ly from the story she first told of the
alleged robbery, though she clung to
the single alleged fact that her hus.
band had been slaughtered by rob.
bers.
Witness said that on the nigh of
May 8, after she and her husband had
put the children to bed she retired
with him in back bedroom. They
were both sleeping soundly when at
ten or eleven o'clock three men en-.
tered and rudely awakened them. The
robbers demanded money. Witness
said that her husband replied he had
no money. The robbers then dragged
her husband cut Of bed. He was
sleeping next to the wall. They
seized him and pulled him across her
body to the floor. Witness said that
she was scared and ran at once to
her children. She grabbed them u.,
and made way with them. Just as
she passed the bedroom door. the
shot was fired. Then she said she
ran to her sister-in.law's home.
After her story of the murder had
been told, cross examination was
begun, and Assistant Prosecutor Bell
put such searching queries as to un-
nerve her.
Can you describe these robbers

PoRTSMoUTH.sN M. H., Aug. 49,
Before the departure this morning of
the peace ENJOYS Of Russia and Japan
/. for their conference room in the navy
yard seven miles distant, the an
nouncement was made that when ad-
journment was taken to-day IL would
be until Monday.
The most striking outward manifes-
tation OF the Importance OF the days

Japanese secretaries carried with
tnem when they left for the navy
yard. IT was filled with papers and
documents OF a confidential nature,
and was carefully guarded.

An INDIAN HEROINE.
sHosHoNE WOMAN RECEIVES
TARDY RECOGNITION.
Faithful and Intelligent Guide and
Interpreter of the Lewis and
Clark Expedition-Bronze
Statue in Her Honor.

The Lewis and Clark exposition pays
honor to a brave woman, an Indian
squaw, whose untiring aid was of
greatest benefit to the intrepid explor-
ers that made the famous journey
across the wide continent a century
ago.
The woman's name is Sacajawea, pro-
nounced straightforward, the accent
on the fourth syllable. Concerning the
Importance of the part played by her
in the expedition, a writer declares:
"Sacajawea, or Tsakakawea, as some
authorities write her name, was the
bird woman who guided Lewis and
Clark Gro the mountains and who,
ON several occasions, aided the explor-
ers when all hope of ever seeing the
ocean seemed lost. Next to Jefferson,
who sent them, it is Sacajawea who
guided them, who the exposition man
ayers think deserves to be eulogized
with Lewis and Clark"
1t is a rather t.ardy recognition this
country is bestowing on this woman,
but a graceful recognition; though late,
a noble tribute. An heroic bronze sta
