BERTHA CLAICHE is GUILTY.
Girl Enters Plea of Mansiaughter i'm
the First Degree.


Bertha Claiche pleaded guilty to
manslaughter in the first degree at the
resumption OF her trial at New York
for the murder of Emil Gerdron In
the supreme court Tuesday afternoon.
This action was the result Of Sc
ries of secret conferences, which began
Monday, between the representative of
District Attorney Jerome and the de-
PENDANTS counsel. Scarcely had Ber-
tina uttered the word guilty" when
she fell back in a faint, and when the
attendants revived her she became
hysterical. and her screams could be
heard through the corridors of the
building. All efforts to quiet her were
vain, and finally she was carried from
the court room to the Tombs prison,
where physicians were called to at
tend her.

SNOWBOUND IS HOURS
EXPERIENCE OF PASSENGERS
ON DAKOTA TRAIN.
Crowd Confiscatcd Enough Food to
Last During the Siege-Poker
Game and Prayer Meeting i'm Pro-
gress simultaneously.


A Mitchell, s. D., special says:
Snowbound for fifty-five hours is the
experience Of a large party Of passen-
gers on an accommodation train on
the Milwaukee road west of Chamber
lain In the recent snow storm. The ac-
two coaches, an express car and
freight cars, and 1t was started out OF
Chamberlain. for Presho, forty miles
distant
The storm increased to such an ex-
tent that at noon the train could make
stations the engine stopped in a drift,
and the train remained there fifty
five hours, when relief was finally Sc
cured. In the party were forty-nine
people, nine of whom were women,
and the experiences they had during
their long Imprisonment are recount
ed by one of the members. They had
no idea they would not be released be-
Tore night, but when night came they
were still in the drift and the pangs
Of hunger commenced to assert them
selves.
One Of the passengers went into the
express car, where he discovered
case OF eggs, a large basket Of bread,
pail of oysters all of which was
billed to a merchant at Presho. The
express messenger could not stand out
,ong against that hungry crowd, and
he capitulated, when the men con-
dscated the things to eat The hard
coal fire in the stove made an excel
tent fire to cook with, and a shovel
was improvised into a stew pan on
which to fry the eggs, while the bread
was broken by the crowd. Oysters
were served raw or fried. This bill
Of fare lasted until they were re-
leased
The crowd OF men invented various
ways In which to pass away the time.
The first evening four of them started
poker game, three Germans started
game of Scotch, and other parties
played smear and cinch.
While the games were in progress a
Methodist preacher, who was going
out to the reservation to live on his
claim, got the attention of those who
were not engaged in playing cards and
held little prayer meeting, and he
finally had pretty near all the crowd
Joining in singing hymns. The last
thing he did was to take up a collec-
ton, the poker players donating from
their pile lying on the board without
stopping their game.
When the train pulled into Presho
about midnight there was hurry for
places of rest, as but little sleeping
could be accomplished where the en-
tire crowd was huddled into one car,
this being done to economic on fuel,
which lasted until relief came.

New York, formerly member of the

of to-day before the Senate Committee on
Inter-oceanic Canals. The examination
closed with testimony favoring the con-

it will be best for the government as
whole, if contractors do the work. :"

would be of this opinion whether the
Waterway were constructed on the sea
level or with locks. The greater part OF
tho day was spent by the witness in
ascrbing his reasons for supporting the
sea-level plan.
