of the Hagerstown Electric Railway Com
pany. was caught between a belt, thirty
five inches wide, and the large fywheel o.
an engine that runs large dynamo at the
power plant yesterday. His body was cut
in two and was mashed into a pulp. His
head split open, and the brains rolled
out on the ground.
Shortly before the fatality Sinniscn, as

TO reach certain part OF the machinery

loud shrek FIR m the adjoining room. He
reversed the engine and started for the
door. when he was Mortified to see brains
scattered about the floor. In front OF him
he saw part Of the mutilated remains of
Sinnisen wedged in between the belt and
1ywheel All that could be seen OF the
body were his feet. which hung out over
the side of the wheel.
Sinnisen had probably been lying on the
belt with his head toward the wheel which
Lad made only part Of a revolution. As the
body was drawn his head struck the brick
wall Of the foundation under the wheel and
was split open The body was wedged in
so tightly that the engine had to be re-
versed before 1t could be extricated.
The belt which was Sinnisen's death bed
has a capacity OF ten tons. The wheel that
crushed his life out is feet inches in
diameter and feet 2 inches across the
face.

was a native of Benevola. He married q

Thaw, defendant This man was per-
jured. perjured when he told you he was
not her counsel, perjured when he said he
was not her attorney, perjured when he told
you no action was contemplated in her be-
half. What was the reason for the draw
ing OF this paper? 1t is simple. Miss 81
monitor had returned from Europe and went
to Stanford White with the story Evelyn
Nesbit had told her. He knew that what
he had done would eternally disgrace him
If 1t became known, that it might send him
TO prison.
Why Affidavit Was Drawn.
"He found Evelyn Nesbit as soon as
she returned He told her that Harry
Thaw was a bad man, that it was neces-
sary for her protection that he be kept
from New York. He took her to Hum
mers office, and what was his object? To
get from her by cunning trick. a mon
strous deception. a statement which would
keep Thaw from telling what he knew
that would make trouble for White.
In some way. l do not know how, this
paper was drawn up. Then, in the tower.
Evelyn Nesbt was induced to sign it. or
to sign some other paper. without reading
it, knowing what in it. I don t
know whether it was this paper not.
Is this her signature or is 1t clever for
gerry or photograph? All | know Is what
comes from so ques tionable a source as to
be valueless. 1t is a trick How the trick
was done I do not know but that 1T was a
trick do know.
Upon its face this paper proves that
the man who dictated it committed per-
jury on the stand. 1 know that he Is a
convicted felon. I know that there are now
two indictments against him for procur-
ing false testimony"
Dodge-Morse Divorce Case.
To illustrate what he termed Hummel's
perfidy, Mr. Delmas delved into the his
tory of the Dodge-Morse divorce case and
explained to the jury how 1.-The discredt-
ed lawyer obtained false testimony in an
effort to set aside marriage which had
been legally performed and which had re-
suited happily"
And you, gentlemen Delmas contin-
ued. ARE asked upon this mans testi-
mony to make this child widow by

SALARIES IN PHILIPPINES.

Washington.-Gen. Clarence r.
Edwards, chief Of the Bureau of In
sular Affairs. Of the War Department
made answer to the criticisms
of W. J. Bryan of the method of pay
ing salaries to high officials in the
Philippines. In his magazine joint
debate with Senator Beveridge, Mr..
Bryan charged that the Filipinos
have reason to complain of the ex-
pensiveness Of the American govern
ment. He said that there is discrep-
aney between the pay Of the Ameri-
can and the native class of office
holders. An an. instance of "jugg-
ling salaries" Mr.. Bryan cited the
fact that members Of the Philippine
Commission receives $1,000 a year as
members Of the commission, and that
the American members Of the COM
mission are given $4,000 additional
as heads Of departments.
Mr.. Bryan said:
This is merely a device to avoid
the payment of high salaries to the
native members of the commission"
When Gen. Edwards attention
was called to this today he said: /,
"There has been no juggling. of
salaries whatever In fact, the first
commissioners were all Americans,
and as commissioners were given sala-
ries Of $4,000 each. When they be-
came Cabinet Ministers, with large
executive departments to administer,
they were given $4,000 additional,
and the Civil Governor $4,000 addi-
tional, making in all $4,000 for the
Governor General and $4,000 for
each Of the American commits
sioners who had portfolios. ]"
