 Somerville, N. J, May 1s.--Apparent- ly unmoved by testimony introduced to. show that The Little Black Man. is only a myth invented to save him from the gallows. George H. Wood, charged with the murder of George Williams, sat through two long sessions of his trial to-day. Even when his wife wept on his shoulder he showed little intrest in the proceedings and was not at all affected by the collapse in the court room of Mrs. Williams, the wife of the murdered man.
 The state introduced fewer witnesses than were expected and it is now be- lieved that the unusual case will be giv- en to the jury by 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. In closing his address to the jury MT. Roger, the prosecuting at torney, said it was shown beyond a doubt that Williams had been shot and killed by Wood, and said the only issue at stake is the mental state and capac- Eity of the defendant. He concluded: 'rThe state insists George Wood wilful- fly and deliberately murdered George Williams, and asks for a verdict in the first degree. y

BREAK IN RELATIONS.
Cornell and Princeton May Not Meet on

Q | - - Ia 4
 Ithaca, N. Y, May 1s.-It was report- ed here to-day that a break has occur red in football relations between Cor nell and Princeton, and that as a re- suit the Ithacans will not meet the Tigers on the gridiron this fall. Here tofore two year agreements have exist ed between the two colleges, games be- ing played alternately at Ithaca and Princeton. Princeton, it is said, had re- quested Cornell to play in Princeton this fall, and next year to hold the game in New York city. The reason given was that Princeton wished to avoid the long trip to Ithaca so soon before the Yale game. This suggestion did not appeal to CornelPs athletic council, and consequently no arrange ments has been made. y * . It is further reported that the date Cornell desired on Princeton's schedule has been given to Columbia. There is no ill-feeling over the controversy, so far as Cornell authorities are concern ed, and matters yet may be satisfac- torily arranged for renewal of the two year agreement. s..@
