BERTHE CLACHE'S
TRIAL FOR MURDER
She Shot the Man Who Ruined
Her and Lived on Her
Shame.
TWO POLICEMEN INVOLVED.
Asst. Dist Atty. Says They Aided Girl
In Her Deed and Promised
Her immunity.

New York, Feb. 27.--An unusual sit
uation, temporarily oyershadowing the
real issue in the case, confronted the
court and jury when the trial of
Berthe CLAICHE, for the murder Of Emil
Gerdron, was resumed in the criminal
branch Of the supreme court today.
This was the inquiry into the part
which certain policemen are alleged to
have had in Gerdrons death. Charges
were made at the opening Of the trial
yesterday by Asst Dist Atty. Ely that
two members OF the police force aided
the girl in her deed and promised her
immunity. The largest part of the
opening day was spent investigating
this phase OF the case. Mr.. Ely brought
out evidence that "A letter was sent 10
Gerdron before his death, and that at
ter It $500 was reported TO have been
stolen from the body. Although he OBJ
tanned no evidence to show who wrote
the letter or took the money, the pros
ecutor charged that policemen were re-
sponsible In both cases, and by the
letter Gerdron was lured TO the place,
where he was shot. Berthe CLAICHE her

CROMWELL RECEIVES
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND.

Washington Feb, 27.--The eXamina-
ton Of William Nelson Cromwell was
resumed today by the senate committee
executive session to determine the
scope of the inquiry. Senator Morgan
put into the record a letter written by
Mr.. Cromwell or Mr.. Wallace, arrang-
ing for the interview which took place
at the hotel Manhattan in New York
when Mr.. Wallace informed Secy Taft
of his desire to resign his position as
chief engineer. Mr. Morgan took
charge of the examination and de-
manded to know of Mr.. Cromwell what
payments had been made to him from
the new Panama Canal company. Mr.,
Cromwell asserted that the information
demanded was of a confidential charac-
ter and involved the relations of coun-
sci and client Senator Morgan insist
ed and many sharp passages ensued.
Finally Mr.. Cromwell said that while
he did not think 1t any business of the
senator's making the inquiry, he would
state that the total payments made to
him would not exceed 100000. That
was all he had received out of the $40,-
GOO, 900 paid by his government. but he
added that he had not rendered his ac-
count for services. lie said he had
plenty of money of his own and had not
had time TO go TO Paris to see the COM
pany. He declared that this (meaning
the hearing) was the first vacation he
had had In ten months. He declared
that there had been no understanding
as to the amount he was to receive.
