ing the axe at the log where the two
men were saving.
On cross examination Ryan told OF
going over the scene of the murder
with Capt Patterson, Policeman Piero
and Stevens.
TOLD OF THE SHOOTING.
Enroute to Canton Stevens said
something about getting the gun to
hunt for rabbit which ne thought
the dogs had started. Burk asked
Stevens what he was going to do with
the gun. Then he said "I'll shoot you
or you will shoot me-" grabbing the
gun. Stevens said Il killed him.
There he is and here | am" Stevens
went with the police to the shanty
and pointed out the empty shell. Ste
vens would not tell Policeman Ryan
what, If anything, Burk said that
prompted him (SteVens) to kill him.
Witness Ryan on redirect examina-
ton said Stevens did not stagger. He
could answer all questions. He told
Ryan he (Ryan) would hang him ii
he could.
PATTERSON LAST WITNESS.
Robt. Patterson, captain of police,
was next sworn. He corroborated the
story told by the policemen. The
witness asked Stevens how the axe
happened TO be some distance from
where the shooting occurred. Stevens
said Ryan or someone else must have
moved it, Eizenzimmer said he did
not move it and the police denied
touching it. Capt. Patterson reitera-
ted what the policemen said concern
ing Stevens declarations that he
would have killed his father or his
mother If they had said to him what
Burk is alleged TO have said. Capt.
Patterson was still on the stand when

All day Tuesday Frank o. Stevens,
pale and languid, after many months
spent in JAIL sat in room No. l be-
fore Judge Harter and a jury com
posed of twelve carefully selected
men, and listened to the taking of ey-
idence which will either free him
from charge of murder in the sec
Ond degree or send him to the peni-
tentiary, probably for life.
Throughout the day his face hardly
changed expression, although much
damaging evidence was adduced by
the prosecution as tending to dis
credit his story of how he killed John
T. Burk, his newly made friend, and
the causes that led up to the murder,
which Prosecutor Upham declared in
his opening address to the jury
blooded type.
Beside Stevens to his left sat his
little SON.. boy of not more than 7
years. Frequently he leaned over to
the little fellow and Whispered some
thing into the childs ear. The lad
did not appear to realize the gravity
of the situation and was unmoved by
the ghastly details of the awful crime
with whish his father sat charged,
On the other side of the accused man
BAT b. K. Stevens, his adopted father,
who lives In Millersburg, Ohio. He

atives of Stevens sat along the rail,
Just inside the spectators gallery.
CLAIMS SELF DEFENSE.
Attorney Atlee Pomerene, who
with Attorney Snyder, represents the
accused man, in his opening address
to the jury, declared that the killing
was done in self-defense. He told
of the meeting between Stevens and
Burk In Canton on the Saturday pre-
ceding the shooting. He declared the
quarrel, which is said to have caused
the shooting, was due to a dispute
over whiskey. Stevens got the gun
with which he killed Burk from a
shanty for the supposed purpose of
killing some rabbits, which Stevens
thought the dogs had started in the
woods nearby. Coming out of the
shanty he met Burk. A scuffie for the
gun followed. Finally Stevens wrench.
ed the weapon away and discharged it.
The load struck Burk in the stomach,

killing him a few hours later. He be-
lieved Burk would have killed Stew
ems had he been able to get posses
sion of the gun.
Prosecutor Upham in his address
to the jury declared he would show
that the murder was cold-blooded
one and was not committed in self
defense, and that the axe with which
Burk is said by Stevens to have chas-
ed him around lot was found at the
tree where the two. men were at
work before any trouble started. He
is being assisted by Roscoe C. Me-
Culloch.
AXE FOUND AT TREE.
Much damaging testimony was ad-
duced Tuesday to show that Stevens
did not shoot in self-defense, as he
has stoutly maintained ever since the
shooting occurred. 1t was brought
out by the police that the axe which
Burk is said to have brandished was
found at the tree, 80 feet from where
the fatal shot was fired. Stevens was
asked to explain this apparent dis
crepancy in his story. He said the
police must have moved it. But they
denied doing so when sworn Tuesday,
Much importance is attached by the
state to this evidence, as tending to
show the inaccuracy of Stevens story
as related to the police and to others
1t was also brought out that Sue
vens felt exceedingly vicious towards
Burk, after the shooting. At the
time, it is admitted, he was somewhat
under the influence of drink When
in a carriage with the police he point
ed to the ambulance and with an
oath said that Burk was there and
that he had shot - - -,
He told several policemen that he
would have killed his own mother, or
his father, If they had said to him
what Burk said before the shooting
Stevens would not tell the police what
Burk did say, if anything, in this con.
nection. One witness testified that
Stevens helped carry Burk into the
shed, after he had shot him, and ad-
vised the owner OF the ginseng
farm to call a physician. Previous
to this he pulled Burk around three
times and tried to force him to say
he (Stevens) was not to blame for
the shooting. Finally Burk, while suf-
fering great pain, did say something
about himself being TO blame or words
to that effect. The court room was
filled with spectators all day long.

ARRESTED ONCE BEFORE.


said he knew Stevens as he arrested
him once before. Attorney Pomer-
enc asked that all reference to Ste
vens' former arrest be stricken from
the record. The court SO ordered.
Stevens was considerably under the
influence of liquor, having taken
drink or two after the shooting. His
talk was somewhat rambling, Burk
met Stevens with the gun. Stevens
told Burk he was going after a mule.
Then Burk grabbed the gun and tried
to take it away from Stevens, who
then pulled the trigger.

Policeman Joseph Ryan, who Wis
tied the scene of the murder, was
next called. He went out with Capt.
Patterson to the scene of the murder.
He met Piero coming back with Ste

A PoLICEMAN'S STORY.

Henry Piero, who arrested Stevens,
was next called. He told of sending
the body in an ambulance. After ar
resting Stevens they walked over to
where Burk had been laying. Ste
vens told of the quarrel. He said
Burk uttered an oath and declared
he would cut him to pieces with the
axe. II will either kill you or you
will kill me-" Burk is alleged to have
said to Stevens, according to Stevens
statement to Policeman Piero.
The witness said an inspection Of the
scene of the murder was made by the
police The axe was found about 30
feet from where the shooting was
done, When this fact was pointed out
to Stevens he made no answer or at
tempted to point out to Policeman
Plero the apparent discrepancy in his
story, wherein he said that Burk chas-
ed him around field with the same
axe-which was found at the log, where

The settlement house Is in the centre OF
the Hungarian and Bohemian colony. The
neighbors carr their living chiefly In the
cigar factories and by engaging in small
trading.

that charity lurked hero ready to pounoe

charity by those people Is something to be
asked for and given without ostentation In
times OF great need and at other periods to
be avoided.
sTo-day exclusion from the settlement
house is considered the greatest III that can

enamelled beds ready for the days maps
face the river.
What IL the impelling motive that sends
the young man to the settlement work?
Answers are as varisd as the representa-
tives Of labor WHO make them.
One Of the most strenuous, a voluntary
worker-for there are several sala rfed
teaohers-admits that he came entirely
from curiosity. He wanted to rec life on
the East Side, ha wing completed Its in
speotion in many other places.
On his arrival, he confessed that he did
not oome to do any good; that he had no
illusions rega riding the people whose eyes
were to lie opened by his vast experience;
that he was not a ~philanthropist and had
merely a selfish viewpoint.
Being eligible for membership-that Isl
being wiling to pay a nominal sum for
boar I'd and lodging and to give W eveningsa
week to club work-his candor did not en-
c!ude him. To-day all his evenings and
many OF his day hours are devoted to the
needs Of the settlement.
He admits that the usual form of invita-
ton receives from his friends is prefac ed
by III there isn't a mothers meeting or n

party an electric shock Ne Gently when In an

matron that she could not find a oaretaker
for her Murray Hill mansion, no brought for
ward the qualifications OF one Mrs. Null
vaney, with whom he had opened a ball
the night before and who had oonfided to
him that she was looking for just such a
place.
Speaking more seriously, this settlement
worker, who represents the type OF I'M
selfish, Interested men whose lives are de-
voted to this labor, says:
THE one fact that I have learned about
the settlement work is that any one who
comes, as / did. without foolish illusions,
and looks at matter from a common sense

Another story, anent one Potter, throws
light on the subject Of settlement infu-
ence among the neighborhood boys.
Potter Is at one Of the sunday night con-
oerts and makes amatory advances to a
feminine ~neighhor. This has happened be-
fore and the head worker has determined
TO make an example OF him this time. One
Of the voluntary workers objects, and as
there is generosity OF method allowed at
the settlement, the head worker says:
Il shall send him home, and then you can
try your method
Potter is called from the room and dis
missed. As he is going out a tap on the
arm anG a gesture invite him to a confer
enoe. The voluntary worker says:
Now, Potter, you had no right to act
the way you did
There is no attempt at r%eprimand; only a

in a vastly different mood.
