TRIAL OF BERTHE CLAICHE
Connection of Policemen With the
Case Again the Main Feature OF
Testimony.

New York, February 2S.-When the
of Emil Gerdron, was resumed today
the extent to which policemen were in
terested in protecting from exposure
in the courts the sort of life Berthe
Claiche had lived, was again the main
feature of interest in the testimony.
Henry Broueck, a patrOlman, said
that Claiche met him in the street a
few days before the shooting, and ask
ed him to arrest GerdrOn on a charge
of assault. She told him that Ger
dron had beaten her, and threatened to
kill her. When the officer told her
that Gerdron might get a siv months
sentence for beating her, she said, ac-
cording to the witness, whats the
use of that, for when he comes out he
will kill me. I had better kill him.
Certain letters found in a trunk, and
the Identification of Berthe Catches
handwriting, We're the subjects of tes-
timony Of witnesses called by Assist
ant District AttOrny Ely. The trunk
in question, it was testified, was taken
from Gerdron's partnent, after his
death, and a detective was seen to take
some letters from it. The trunk was
finally placed in the district attorneys
office. Mr.. Ely did not offer in evil
dence the contents Of the letters nor
state the name of their author MOI to
whom they were written. However,
he said in his opening address that he
would prove h a Gerdron was lured
to the place where he was shot and
evidence has already been given be-
fore the shooting both Berthe Claiche
and a policeman knew about a letter
which had been sent to Gerdron. Iden-
~tifcation of the defendants handwrit-
ing was in when the trial adj
iOurned until tomorrow.

Pastor Jimboy's Ambition.

William Iimboy, a full blood Creek
and an ordained minister Of the gospel,
was in the city Friday visiting the
departments, says the Muskogee Phoe-
nix. 1t is said that when Iimboy
holds forth under the brush arbor at
springfield, the vilest sinner seeks re-
pentance in sackcloth and ashes at the
srlit-log mourning bench. Physically
Jimboy is small. but spiritually he is
large. He has a big family which
consists of fifteen children, besides
himself and wife, probably the larg-
est full-blood family in the country.
He avs this goes TO show that he is
carrying out the scriptures. His chief
ambition now is to be the possessor
of a swell barouche, capable of hold
ing most of the members of his fam
lily, such vehicle to be equipped with
two rows of shining lights. This
will carry u that portion of the
Scripture which says, Let your light
shine" says Jimboy.

GRANTS CREW RESCUED
Taken on the Doomed Vessel by the
Norfolk Tug Jack Twohy-Indica-
tons are That the Schooner Will be
a Total Loss.

Norfolk, Va, February 2S.-After a
narrowing night on the deck OF their
vessel with the life savers OIL shore un-
able t. reach them either by life boat
Or breeches buoy, and with death al
most staring them in the face fer
hours, the crew of the four masted
schooner George N. Grant from Bruins
wick, Ga, to Perth Amboy, n. J., lum-
Der laden, were rescued shortly after
o o'clock this morning by the Norfolk
tug Jack Twohy. Conditions grew
worse on the Grant as the hours pas
ed and just before the arrival Of the
Twohy it looked as though the schOon-
er's crew already half frozen from ex-
posure, would have TO take to tie rig
ging of the vessel themselves. 1mme-
diately after the rescue OF the Grants
crew, her decks became awash and n
schooner began to settle fast IN the
raging sea and sank below. Her car
go remains intact as yet, but the con-
ditions on the coast are still severe and
the indications are the vessel Will be
a total loss.
The Dutch steamer Constance, which
arrived al the Lambert's Point coal
pier today, reports that the Norwegian
steamer Duncan, bound from New
York to Norfolk, is aground in lower
Chesapeake Bay inside the Virginia
ape From the same source come
the information that an unknown
three masted schooner is aground III
Lynnhaven bay inside the caPes. The
tug Jack TwOhy which rescued the
crew Of the stranded schooner George
NJ. Grant this morning, instead Of COM
ing direct to Norfolk, has gone with the
Grants crew to the assistance of the
vessels.
Captain Pelton and the entire crew
Of the stranded schooner Grant were
landed here this afternoon by the Jack

Nothing was said about this item

Washington Paper Sizes Up
the Statehood Sit
uatiOn

The washington Cd. Cd Star, has
the following on the Statehood situa-
ton; Senator Gormans death pre-
vented action on the statehood bill in
the senate tode5 Strange as it may
seem. Senator Sldrich, who is not
a meraDel Of tae committee, is in
charge Of The bill and will endeavor
to enact the measure into a law as
reported. The success Of the measure
in his hands is another question AS
a matter of fact, the chances of the
bill becoming a law are now simmer
than ever. Democrats and great
many Republicans under the leader
ship of Senator Foraker are incensed
at the action of Senator Beveridge
in not obeying senate Instructions in
conference and reporting a disagree
ment to the Senate with respect to
Arizona and New Mexico The Senate
voted the latter two territories out
of the bill altogether yet Senator
Beveridge brings into the Senate a
bill recognizing the claim of Arizona
aSrd New Mexico. There is no pre-
lent for this action and If state
hood for Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory is defeated altogether at this ses-
sion. the blame can well be placed on
Beveridge.
The selection Of Aldrich to force
the measure through the Senate un.
der whip and spur has made matters
worse, and the fact is the bill now
hangs in the balance. No few sena-
tors have declared themselves to de-
feat statehood legislation altogether
rather than have President Roosevelt
Speaker Cannon, Senators Aldrich and
Beveridge dictate and force down the
throat OF congress an iniquitous mea-
sure, providing for an unholy union
OF Arizona and New Mexico, on one
hand and rank partisanship on the
other. A number Of severe speeches
in which Senator Beveridge and the
ring will be denounced, win be
made Others VIA follow and when
the Senate viii refuse to adopt the
conference report and refuse to ap-
point Beveridge as ole Of the con-
ferees the latter will very likely be
forced to resign the chairmanship of
the Senate committee on Territories.
