MOTHER TO GIVE TESTIMONY

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-It was ru-
mored before the court opened that
Jerome would ask the dismissal o,
Jurors Walker and Haas. Thaw's
counsel hearing the reports said they
would oppose any such move. Jerome
and his assistant consulted with the
Judge and counsel for the defense just
preyious to the opening when the ex-
cused Jurors were announced, at II
o'clock before the attorneys ap-
peared in court.
It is said Thaw's lawyers fought
hard to retain the jurors Jerome drop
ned. All the Thaw family were in
court when the court was called to
order for the roll of the new panel.
A friendly greeting between the
Thaws and Evelyn was an evidence of
amitv. Thaw entered smiling. He
was in a thoughtful mood today. He
carefully perused a pile of letters. and
a number of newspaper clippings.
The prisoner though surprised at the
announcement that the court had ex-
cused the jurors appeared satisfied
with the explanation of Attorney Pea

want it entered on the record that
Kleinberger was excused on account of
the state of his health"
Following the peremptory challenge
by the defense of Henry w. Hubbard,
secretary of the missionary board, the
court called the attorneys to the bench
and a long and boisterous scene en-
sued. Jerome, Caravan, Hartridge and
Gleason participated. Thaw excitedly
asked Peabody what it was all about.
After the conference Jerome left the
room and the examination of talesmen
was resumed.
Joseph Bolton, clerk, aged fifty,
married was chosen a juror at 4:55
p. m. He takes the place of Klein

MISSIONARIES ARE NOT DODGERS
Local CoIIegians Lose Game at Spokane
Because Court Was Studded
With Posts.

Posts which were scattered about the
room are said to be the cause of Whit
mans basket ball defeat last night at
the hands of Spokane High school by
a score of % to IS.
Not only was the game played in an
attic, according to a dispatch received
from the team, but the floor was full
of posts used in holding up the roof.
The Spokane boys were used to dodg-
ing these distractions but they proved
a Waterloo for the Missionaries, Civ
ing them the first defeat on their pres
ent trip.
The team plays Spokane athletic club

morrow, finishing the trip with the
Pullman contest on Saturday night.

The long delay in the opening of
the AFTERNOON session was on account
of conference between Jerome and
counsel for the defense. Half a.
hour after the stated hour for open

face was clouded, Hartridge frowned
nervOusly and bit his lip, the examin-

Ben Cravens Not Caught.

The Kansas City Journal of last
Thursday reported the capture of Ben
Cravens, a noted criminal character of
Kansas and Oklahoma, who broke out of
the Kansas penitentiary some six years
ago. The dispatch described his cap
ture at Osceola, Neb., and his recogni-
tion by the states attorney who had
conducted the prosecution of the case
in Kansas that had sent him to the peni-
Tertiary several years before. But af-
ter bringing the supposed Cravens to
the prison from which he had escaped
it was found that he was not the party
sought. The Kansas City Journal OF
Sunday published the following dis
patch in regard to the matter:
Leavenworth, Kans., Aug. 31.-(Spec-
ial) Much to the regret and NORTH
cation of officials of the Kansas state
penitentiary, the suspect who was
brought to prison yesterday by parole
officer, after having been positively
identified by chaplain McBrian as Ben
Cravens, noted convict who led mu-
tiny at prison several years ago, turned
out to be Albert B. Scettler, harmless
itinerant jewelry peddler.
Chaplain McBrian, who identified the
man as Cravens, was a prosecuting at
torney at the time Ben Cravens was
convicted, and he felt quite sure that
Scettler was Cravens. Scettler took
his arrest and his trip to prison philos-
ophically and was today given ticket
back to Nebraska.
