In the McManus trial tile defense
has been continuing its testimony to-
day, and from present appearances
the case may not be ready for argu-
ment before tomorrow afternoon or
possibly Monday. During the fore
nocn today most of the witnesses
were called for the purpose of testi.
fyirg as to the bad reputation of bob
Estes as to his honesty. However,
none Of them were permitted to 60
into details as TO the life he led.
This afternoon the defense began
by calling physicians to testify as to
She probable attitude of Estes when
shot.
Motion Partially Sustained.
The motion which had been argued
for two hours yesterday afternoon,
when It was attempted to admit tes-
timony in regard to the character OF
Bob Estes, was ruled upon at S
o'clock by Judge Bean. The Judge
held that the question as to character
WAS too general and sustained the
objection. He stated, however, that
i would be proper to admit evidence
more special in its nature and which
would tend to show reputation as to
honesty. The court then adjourned
until this morning.
Deputy Marshal Short on Stand.
Deputy Marshal Short was on the
stand during the argument yesterday
afternoon and again took the stand
this morning.
The officer said he had known Es-
ties since 1894. Objections by the
prosecution to all questions regard
ing the occupation of Estes were sus-
tanned.
Il will ask you to state what the
reputation OF Bob Estes was in re-
gard to being a dope fiend," said
Judge Fee. The court would not
permit this question to be answered.
Judge Fee gave as his reason for
asking this question that he intended
to show by scientific experts that
man who was a dope flend was also
a thief.
Tilt Between Counsel.
The argument at this loirt be-
tween the counsel became somewhat
heated and there was a lively tilt be-
tween Judge Fee and district Attor-
ney Phelps. The controversy was
was brought on by Judge Fee wishing
to make "a statement of what he
wished to prove, in order that It
might go into the record Mr.,
Phelps objected to statements as to
the character of Estes, which the de-
fpnga taH tn
before the jury and claimed that It
was an attempt on the part of Judge
Fee to get the information to the
jury On the motion of Mr.. Phelps
the court instructed the counsel that
IL he wanted to make a statement Of
that character for the record he
could do so by withdrawing from the
room out of the hearing of the jury
or tender 1t in writing. To this
withdrawal Judge Fee very strenu-
ously objected. The court permitted
the statement rs to what the defense
wanted to prove to be made in an
undertone to the court reporter at one
side of the room.
Further questions were asked in
regard to the character of the de-
= ceased and the court made clear his
ruling of yesterday, holding that only
testimony could be introduced which
tended TO explain some fact already
in evidence.
The court would admit only char
acter evidence to prove what reputa-
tion Estes had for honesty and in
tegrity In so far as 1t touched lar
ceny.

CRANBERRY CROP
SHORT THIS YEAR

Barnstable. Mass. Oct. 22-The har-
vesting of th9scranberry crop of the Cape
Cod and Plymouth districts which grow
practically all the fruit raised In Massa-
chusetts is almost finished and the crop
is estimated TO be about 20 per cent or
the average output. Tie berries are OF
generally good size and quality and be-
cause of this. with the small crop, the
price has advanced steadily since they
were first placed on the market for the
present season. The starting price was
about s. so a barrel, and is now more than
a dollar above that with indications OF an
equal advance before the Thanksgiving
buying starts. The independent growers
are holding their products from the mar
ket in the expectation OF this advance
which is expected soon. The growers who
are allied with the Cranberry Sales COM
pany. and organization which controls
large part OF the output however. are
generally selling their berries, under the
apparent belief that when the Wisconsin
crop of 5000 barrels, which is late, is
nlaced on the market. glutted condition
will result and the prices accordingly fall,
In time for the Thanksgiving trade TO
take advantage of IL.
The efforts OF the Sales company To
regulate the movement OF the crop IS
watched with interest, not only In Mas
sachusetts. but also In New Jersey ana
Wisconsin. which share with Massachu-
setts the furnishing of most OF the cram
berries consumed In the United states.

According to a person in close touch
with President John T. Brush and Mana
ger John J.McGraw. OF the New York Ma
tioual League club. there will be big
shakeup In the Giants for next year. and
at least four OF the oldest players on the
team will be let go and young players put
I'm their places.
Manager McGraw was displeased with
the poor showing made by some of his
players. which was responsible for the
team finishing in fourth place, and as
soon as the season was over he did not
hesitate to say that he intended TO get
rid OF some OF his men. While IL is not
known which OF the players will be tin
canned, the chances are that McGann,
Dah1en. Browne and McGinnity are on the
list.

CRIMSON IN
LIGHT WORK

Cambridge. Mass. Oct. 22.--The Harvard
football practice yesterday afternoon was
light In order to timber up the men after
their game on Saturday and the tiresome
journey up from Baltimore last night.
Burr. who played through the greater
part of the Annapolis game with an in
jurcd leg, is slightly lame. and the coach
es let him off with very little work. All
the other men, including Apollonio, were
in their togs practicing.
There was no scrmmage yesterday al

time to correcting the individual faults
which cropped out I'm players on Satur-

The centres had a new form of target
practice. CUTS chalked up round mark

feet from the ground. and then Grant and

back at a distance at about eight yards
from the mark as IL for kick, attempt
ing to hit IT,. They improved their accu-
racy I'm passing a great deal and scored
a number of bullseyes.
The backs worked out under DAILY, who
put them through long drill at making
long passes. Parker spent considerable

VS..
FRESHMEN

Philadelphia. Oct. 22-The Freshman
football team of the University OF Penn
sylvania gave the Varsity tough time
OF 1t yesterday. when they lined up
against the latter In a regular game on
Franklin Field. They defeated the Fresh
men by one touchdown. - this was ac-
complished only after a hard struggle.
The Freshmen started of by drawing
nrst blood and for time things looked
bad for the regulars Quarterback John
son aided by the splendid interference OF
Menier and Benion. the two star Fresh
men backs, scrambled through "A broken
held for 60-yard run and a touchdown.
The score seemed to give the youngsters
strength for on the next klck-off they ran
tho ball well up the field, Benion, John
son and Menier taking turns with the
pigskin, each carrying il for good gains.
The varsity, however. took decided
brace when the Freshmen invaded their
territory and forced Benton TO boot the
ball. Miller caught Benion's long punt,
running 1t back for a good gain. Using
Sommer and Macklin on quick line bucks
the Varsity reached the 10 yard line,
when Mackln carried the ball over on a
hard plunge outside of tackle. This even
ed matters up. the score now being tie.
The next score came only by the hard
est kind of work by the Varsity. The
Freshmen time after time carried the ball
into the Varsity territory and once nearly
scored on a clever forward pass from
Hess TO Favorite on the 'Varsity's 20-yard
line. The next forward pass went TO Som
mer. the Varsity fullback, who tucked
the ball under his arm and started down
the field for 30-yard run. After carrying
the ball to the Freshmen five-yard line II
took the three plays TO cross the line once.
They were on the one-yard line on the
second down and the Freshmen held. al
lowing the Varsity To advance the ball
but a scant two feet. The next play was
a line buck by Macklin. which barely put
the ball the required few inches across the
line.
This was the last scoring of the practice
and after few more plays time was call
ed with the ball about midheld. Folweil
was not used i'm practice, as he is still
stiff from the Brown game. Neither Green
nor Hollenbach were in the scrimmage.
