Testimony All in Yesterday
in Famous Trial.
CONFLICT OF TESTIMONY.
Counsel for the Prisoner Now Rest and
State Has No Evil
dence in Rebut-
tai,

Cleveland, O., March 10.-C Doolittle,
the bookkeeping expert, called We'd
nesday as the first witness for the de-
fence in the trial Of Mrs Chadwick,
testified yesterday that the entries Of
$4,000 and $1,000 on the books Of the
oberlin bank, under date Of Nov. 3,
1908, were items Of credit to Mrs. Chad
wick, as was proven by similar entries
on the discount register. On Nov. 10,
1903, the Journal showed the entry Of
note Of $40 900. This did not appear
on the discount register, but the Journal
entry showed witness said, that Mrs.
Chadwick was entitled on that day to
$40, 900 either in cash OF credit Other
entries on that date showed that an
item Of $4,000 was deposited, though
it was not specified BY whom. If the
cash or certified check was given Mrs.
Chadwick on that day, the entries were
entire ana covered the transactions in
proper ihAtlltel
This evidence directly opposed the
direct testimony Of Assistant Cashier
Avery and Receiver Lyon Of the Oberlin
Bank, who said that Mrs. Chadwick
had neither money nor credit at the
bank at the time any Of the certified
checks were issued.
Mr.. Doolittle testified to some small
details in connection with the notes and
then Judge Wing declared
THAT Is all, your honor; we rest oar
case.
rs there any rebuttalya asked Judge
Tayler.
@There is none, your honor, said
Dist. Atty. Sullivan, and the case So
far as the testimony was concerned was
over.
The indictment against Mrs. Chad
wick charges her with conspiracy to
commit an offence against the United
States by Illegally certifying checks
of the 0berlin Bank. The defence made
the words ito commit the point Of at
tack, contending that insomuch as Mrs
Chadwick was not an official Of the
bank it was impossible for her to Ger.
tify checks. 1t was therefore impossible
for her to couspire with others to com
nit an offence which it was impossible
for her to commit as an individual.
The attorneys for Mrs Chadwick told
Judge Tayler that they desired to enter
a motion directing that verdict for
the defendant Pending the argument
on this, the jury was dismissed with
instructions 70 return at 1880 b. m.
Judge Wing asked that the case be
taken from the jury and the verdict
acquitting the defendant be ordered by
the court, on the ground that the evi-
denee did not prove she had committed
an offence against the United States.
The arguments on the motion lasted
throughout the remainder Of the fore.
noon session of court.

Trouble Among Employees San Fran
cisco Authorities Searching Hard
to Find a Motive for
Murder.

San francisco, March Though
they still deem the proof Of murder in
conclusive, the police of this city are
trying to find possible motive for the
poisoning OF Mrs. Stanford. with this
end in view, they are making minute
investigation into the stories Of house
hold intrigues told by Beverly, the for
mer butler, and Elizabeth Richmond, the
former maid Of Mrs. Stamford, who now
hive in Beverly's home at San Mateo.
1t Is believed that among the stories
OF quarrels and graft" hint of the
motive tor murder may be found.
Beverly, it is said, has made state
ment to the police to the effect that by
means of ''rake-downsn and commissions
be had grated about 2,1o0 He re-
iterates his story that he divided his
s'rake-downs" with Miss Berner, Mrs.
Stanford's secretary, and that her share
amounted to between 81 900 and ST..
100.
Honolulu, March TO- The inquest in
TO the death Of Mrs. Jane L. Stamford
was postponed until last night at $50
o'clock. The police surround the case
with mystery.
High Sheriff Henry says that the in.
quest was postponed because the stenog-
raphers transcript of the testimony
was not ready, and the Hawaiian law
requires the witnesses to read and sign
their testimony in the presence Of the
jury.
Sheriff Henry also said that he is not
certain whether or not additional wit
nesses viii be called upon to testify.
