and the land was sold, and the tenant
purchased, it was held that he could
not hold the property against the

where the title Of the landlord mas

When a landlord snes for rent, 1t Is
very common thing for the tenant
to put in the plea that he has not

that the landlord owes him money on
another account.
Where the landlord has agreed to
repair. and does not do so, 1t Is no
defense in an action to recover the

TBE TRIALOF DIR. BROUwER.


The principal feature of the testimony
at yesterdays session of the trial oi DIR.
Frank Brouwer, at Toms River, N. j.,
accused of the murder of his wife by the
administering of poison and ground glass,
was the testimony OF Prof. Frederick
Genth, of Philadelphia, the expert chem
ist who analyzed the conteuts OF the ali
menfary canal taken from Mrs. Brouwer's
body. In his testimony, however, DR..
Genth, with reference to the jars in
which the organs were placed, admitted
that particles of glass found by him on
the outside of the stomach had undoubt-
edly been broken of the jar in putting
on or taking of the cover.
The testimony of Miss Irma Dudley,
the nurse who attended Mrs. Brouwer,
was sensational, and the taking Of it was
rsplete with dramatic incidents. She
went on the stand late 10 the afternoon.
In one hour she had told the story that
the prosecution believes to be part OF
most dsmning evidence against the pris'
oner. In her testimony she said ::
"When | was called to attend Mrs.
Brouwer DR.. Brouwer told me she was
Ill.," said Miss Dudley. ''On the first day
got there found her resting easily. On
Friday she seemed to be getting along
very well, when the doctor told me to
put peptine powder he gave me into
her milk. She vomited imme 1iately and
said it tasted bitter.
"On the following Saturday the pa
tient was feeling much better, had a
normal pulse and strong heart action.
On that day DIR. Brouwer announced
that he had to go away, but he left q
nutritive injection to be administered to
the patient composed, he said, of milk,
eggs and whiskey,"
"Whst happened after you had ad-
ministered the injections"
"Mrs. Brouwer got nervous rapidly,
then she screamed in agony, drew up
her legs, clamped her arms across her
breast and threw her head back. Her
whole body became rigid, and there was
q succession of psroxysms"
The witness said that next day, Sum
day, when DR.. Brouwer had ordered
her to give the patient another nutritive
injection, and stood by to see her do 80,
she allowed the liquid to slip away 10
the bed clothes and none of it touched
the tortured woman. She was of duty
wben Mrs Rronwer died early next
morning, Miss Dudley said.
During all the strain Of yesterdays
trial DR.. Brouwer sat behind his at
torneys, calm and unmoved. Only once
did he show emotion, when Miss Dudley
told OF the death struggles of his wife,
his eyes filled with tears.
The evidence which the prosecution
to introduce will attempt to
prove that DR.. Brouwer murdered bis
wife that he might be fres to marry an.
other woman.

fractional Fight In Unions.

The factional fight which has been in
progress for several months in the ranks
of the teamsters' unions, in Chicago, has
involved three building trades of that
city and considerable trouble is antici-
pated. The teamsters are divided into
two factions, one favoring Cornelius P.
Shea, the other opposed to him. 1t is
said that Shea has entered into an agree
ment with q number of the building
trades by virtue of which they will re-
fuse to handle any building material
which Is delivered at buildings in proct IS
of construction by any teamsters other
than those supporting Shea. Several
small strikes have already taken place
on this account and more are looked for.
Three hundred and fifty jewelry workers
struck Monday in 32 shops where an
eight-hour day was refused.
