MRS. SLOANE ON THE STAND

Mr.. Robertson replied that he
did not take the position that Mrs.
Sloane's mind had been affected
In any way, Mr.. Barnhart then
asked the court to have the testi-
mony that she had already given
stricken from hte records and the
jury instructed to disregard it.
Judge Huneke decided that Mrs.
Sloane would be permitted to con-
tinue her testimony and what she
h daalready given would be allow
ed to stand.
At the opening of the Sloane
trial this morning Attorney Rob
ertson, for the defense, expected
to have all Of his non.expert testi-
mony in by this evening. He
wanted to know if the prosecution
had any testimony in rebuttal. He
was told yes, but it was not known
how soon this rebuttal would be
completed. The court then made
an order that the defense should
introduce it's expert testimony
preceding the experts for the
prosecution. The expert evidence
is expected to add at least two
more days to the trial.

$4,000 MORE IS
NEEDED

The big Y. NJ. C. A. clock today
licked off $4,000. The returns
from the Traction Co. street car re-
ceipts Of last Friday, which were

morning amount to $500. Jay p.
Graves and F. Lewis Clark each

having agreed to duplicate the re-
ceipts.
The $4,000 is exclusive Of the
$4,000 promised by r. P. Paterson
when he made the proposition to
donate that sum provided the $780,.
0C0 club would undertake the work
of gaining s35,0000 in subscrip-
lions. Counting Mr.. Paterson's
subscription there remains but
$4,000 more to complete the fund
Of 100000 needed When the club
first started it did so on the prom
ise of large business interests that
they would try TO raise $4,000 if
the club would raie $4,000.
Among the donations received
today Is $10S raised yesterday at
the Vincent Methodist church and
S54 of Rev. c. o. Kimball, the pas
Tor. Rev. Kimball promised his
Sunday school that he would do

ENGINEER CRUSHED TO
DEATH IN COLLISION

Conductor A. G. Hook and Engi'
neer w. Solomon. 1t was just
pulling into the yards from the
west and was coming down the
east bound main track at lively
clip. Bystanders claim that En-
gineer Solomon could not possibly
have seen the other engine till he
was very close to it, and then, with
the heavy train behind him, it was
too late to stop.
The freight engine weighs prob
ably twice as much as the little
switch engine, and 1t was also
moving much the faster of the two
so the smaller engine got all the
worst of 1T in the collision. The
switch engine was pulling one
freight car and when the big en-
CINE struck, it smashed right
through the car, telescoping il
completely and forcing the tender
into the cab.
The cab was smashed to splint'
ers and Engineer Farrell was
caught and crushed to death in the
wreckage.

Mrs. j. F. Sloane, mother OF the
accused, was put on the stand this
afternoon. She told the story Of
her early life, stating that she was
born in California. She said that
when she was five years old she
had a fall on the deck Of steam.
boat which badly injured her
spine. She stated that she has
never fully recovered from the eff.
fects Of this fall.
She said that for several months
prior to the birth of Sidney she
was a confirmed invalid and con-
fined to her bed much Of the time.
She then started to give an ac-
count of the various religious doc.
trines which she had studied and
believed in before and since the
birth of the defendant, but Mr..
Barnhart interposed a vigorous OBJ
lection and asked the court to in
struct her to give only testimony
that related to her beliefs and
mental condition prior to the birth
of Sidney.
Mr.. Robertson then requested
that the witness and jury be ex-
cluded from the room SO that he
might explain to the court what
he intended to prove by the testi-
mony of Mrs. Sloane.
Mr. Robertson stated that he ex-
pected to prove by the mothers
testimony and that Of medical
experts who were then in the
court room, that Mrs. Sloane is and
was prior to the birth of the de-
PENDANT a confirmed neurotic, that
her mind and body were so poorly
nourished that these religious be.
liefs found ready credence with her
and resulted in Sidney's being born
with very weak mind.
Mr.. Barnhart contended that II
Mrs. Sloane had been affected by
her beliefs in such a way as the
defense claimed then she herself
was insane and should not be al
lowed on the witness stand.

RIPS UP ROCKEFELLER

Young Rockefeller, the Sunday
school leader, came in for scoring
in this city yesterday at the hands
of G. N. Maddox in his address to
the Economic club on "The Pro-
tective Spirit" He argued that il
Rockefeller had the right view OF
existing conditions he would know
that the force that creates vast for.
tunes impoverishes the many at
the same time and Is responsible
for want and misery. On Rookie
feller's ignorance in this particu'
lar the speaker proceeded to burn
up the Standard Oil scion. The
remedy and refuge offered was the
single tax.
