that she referred IN particular to Mrs.
Brown, but had reference to Judge
Henderson, Mr. Barnes and others.

Spokane, Nov. 21.-A special to the
Spokesman-Review from Rathdrum,
Ida, says:
The most dramatic incident connect
ed with the trial Of Steve Adams, on
trial here for the murder Of Fred Ty-
Ter, was the introduction Of two let
ters by James H. Hawley, counsel for
the state, this afternoon. The defense
objected to their being read to the
Jury, but Judge Wood declared them
properly identified.
During the reading Of the first let
ter Mrs. Adams arose from beside her
husband and left the room in tears
She did not return for an hour. Adams
turned marble white and was motion
less. His attorneys were non
Ilussed. The letters we're not intro
duced in evidence at the Wallace trial
from the fact that it was not known
that q copy of them had been kept.
Warden Whitney of the Boise peniten-
tiary found them soon afterward. They
were written between the time Adams
confessed and signed his confessions.
Clarence Darrow, Adams counsel,
when the letters appeared, set his
Jaw and went to work as If it were
the first days Of the trial, instead Of
What was supposed to be the last for
taking testimony.
These letters were written by
Adams while in the Idaho peniten-
tlary to Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver, an aunt
and uncle. and to his brother, w. t.
Adams.
Declared He Had Sinned.
Il was glad to hear Of your belief in
my innocence l wish to God that I
was, but / fell in with bad company
and was led to commit a number of
n4ost vile sins, breaking the law Of
both man and God. Had stayed with
my church and with the raising of
my poor parents who are, ] believe, in
Heaven, would be a free man today.
But allowed myself to be led into
sin most damnable. / am going to try
to undo what have done, and sin no
more"
Each side has introduced its in
structions, the state asking, as before,
fer murder in either the first or second
degree or manslaughter. The defense
has changed few Of its suggestions.
Judge Wood wants to finish the ar
guments by Saturday and will con-
vene court at 8 o'clock tomorrow,
when R. w Mcfarland and Henry P.
Knight for the state have agreed to
consume two hours each. McBee and
heitman will take the same time for
the defense. Mr. Darrow and Mr..
Hawley say they may not consume
rIore than three hours apiece. But
Judge Wood said he would not limit
them. There will be night session
tomorrow night. The state closed its
rebuttal today, but the defense may
have little sur-rebuttal in the morn
ing. After that the arguments will
take up the time.

Reads Letter 10 Brown,

Reads Letter TO Brown.
Beginning the redirect examination
Mr.. Powers read letter from Mrs.
Bradley to Brown which was in part
as follows:
When reflect on the bitterness in
my life am filled with resentment.
Then when think OF you and the win
ter Of discomfort made glorious sum
NOR my heart leaps to go forth to you
in words and kisses. There is no
woman's heart stronger, truer or big
ger than mine is to love you, admire
you and worship you. Your success
and happiness are more than anything
in the world to me. i shall be alone
tonight, as am really all the time
ana am not with you. Our souls at
least are free, and If 1t is In vain we
would against them make the flesh
obey. The spirit in the end will have
its way.
Your most affectionate Little Mint
Julep.
Brown Was Jealous.
Judge Powers questioned Mrs. Brad
ley regarding certain parts of letters
to Senator Brown, with particular ref
erence to the following:
Instead Of wasting breath on
Schroeder, Evans, Mcclure the
priest or anyone else, we should sip
life's sweetest nectar from each
other"
She said that In the winter of 1901
she had known Mr.. Schroeder very
well. He was member of the same
church organization and was interest
ed in a small paper, as she also was
interested in paper. They met quite
often, and Schroeder asked her opin-
ion regarding certain manuscripts.
when Senator Brown heard about It
he raved and demanded that I never
speak to Schroeder again." she said.

European Discussion OF the Effects OF

In report from Liege, Belgium.
Consul Fl. Albert Johnson ssyslt seems
that the beet-sugar situation this year
Is far from satisfactory, and that both
rers have good grounds for uneastness.
His trade details follow:
The beet crop is decidedly short and
hoped would be rather larger than
usual, proves to be much below the av-
erage heretofore obtained: The PEE
Rod OF sugar making will be short,
and. as prices are disastrously low. It

There appears to be osome hope that

result. however. although within the
range OF possibility, can hardly be. be

recent meeting Of the Societe des Ag-

syndicate of sugar manufacturers OF
France, concerning the additional act
of the Brussels Conference, had been
adopted:
OF the Brussels convention could only
tend to further aggravate the already
precarious position of the French su-
gar manufacturers, the committee OF
the sugar syndicate is OF the opinion
that the ratification of the additional
act should be made subordinate to the
acceptance OF the Brussels convention
by all the sugar-producing nations OF
Europe and to the lowering of the
French excise tax on sugar to the level
adopted by Germany.
second, the committee expresses the
wish that the French Government
would take steps to Introduce a sys-
tenn of giving bounties for what Is
termed denatured sugar that serves as
food for cattle.
