New York, Dee. 14.-Lashed by
the fierce blows of heavy northeast
er. New York Is tonight in the wintry
clutches of a storm of wind, snow
and hail which has completely swept
the whole Atlantic coast from Hat
teras to Maine, hampered transporta-
tion, demoralized lines of communi-
cation with the outside world, ana
threatened all ships under sail or
steam that sought to make ports in
the teeth of the sixty gale. Down
off Sandy Hook tie bark Edmund
Philney went to pieces on the sandy
shore after her skipper and crew had
been rescued in the Breeches buoy.
Eleven transatlantic steamships due
in port today were still unreported at
Sandy Hook at % e'e K tonight,
though no apprehension is felt for
their safety. Six coastwise steamships
that set safT for southern ports turn
ed back from the pitching and
pounding seas that met them at the
harbor gateway. and anchored in the
shelter of Sandy Hook bay.
The powerful blasts snapped Off

In another part of the town an UNI
known man was killed by falling

The storm center which started in
Mississippi, swerved eastward and
swept up the Atlantic coast. From
the northeast came fierce gale,
driving heavy clouds Of rain and cut

the wind doomed steadily along at

Boise, Idaha, Dec. 14.-Dramatic
scenes marked today's proceedings In
the trial of George A. Pettibone, for
completely i'm the murder of eX-Gov-
ernor Steunenberg. Clarence Dar-
row, chief counsel for the defense,
closed his Cross-eXamination of Harry
Orchard before the adjournment this
afternoon by picturing each of the
crimes to which the witness had con
fessed in its most hideous light, and
after each he asked:s
"You did that, did you not?"
Orchard. with face downcast, and
misery written in every feature to
each question answered:
Yes. sir. | did"
you never met a man in fair
fight, did you?" asked Darrow, but
the court sustained the states objec-
tion to the question. Throughout the
cross examination Darrow referred to
the testimony at the Haywood trial
and endeaVored to show contradictory
statements. but Orchard held his own
In each instance. once DarroW was
forced to admit that he was mistaken
in regard to the testimony of the wit
ness.
Darrow touched very lightly on the
incidents leading up to Orchards con-
fession, merely showing that Detec-
tive Mcfarland had told him the
Bible story of st. Paul and King
David, who had been murderers and
"Kelley, the Bum" of the molly Ma
guires," who was given his liberty be-
cause he gave evidence for the state.
The story of Orchards conversion and
religious profession was not brought
out by either the state or defense. The
only intimation of il was when Dar-
row asked the witness If Mcfarland
had not told him that st. Paul ana
David, after committing murder, had
become men OF power for good.
He told me they had been for
given" answered Orchard.
The first tilt between the attorneys
came when Senator Borah objected 10
the manner in which Attorney Darrow
was cross examining Harry Orchard.
He said that Darrow was arguing with
the witness. The defense said that the
witness was obstinate, but that If he
had cross Orchard, he had
done so unintentionally.
Borah and, Darrow exchanged hot
words. Judge Wood cautioned Dar-
row not TO enter into arguments with
the witness and the attorney ae-
quiesced
The entire forenoon session was
taken up with Orchards recital of
how he attempted to XIII Bradley In
