WHITE CASE CLOSING

Special to Morning News
Wooster, o., March 6.-The taking
of testimony of Harry White, which
lasted half day, completed the tes-
timony of the case against White for
the killing of Thomas Dye, Wednes-
day noon. The lawyers at once start
led their arguments of the case and
when court adjourned Wednesday ev-
ening all had finished with the excep-
ton of the prosecutor, who will be
given time Thursday morning.
During the examination of White
he told of his meeting Everhardt and
Miller in Alliance on the 11th of
April, prior to the time of the mur-
der of Dye and that at the time of
the meeting Miller proposed that they
take ride on freight. White states
that they, the three boys, went to Mas
nue. saloon, where they stayed all
night. The next morning, he testified
they went along the river track at
that place and soon after returned to
the city where he, White, purchased
a revolver.
White stated that they reached Orr
vile on the day of the murder about
1890 o'clock and that they stayed
there the rest of the day, shooting at
a mark up the track and playing pool
and drinking beer and whisky. The
whisky, White stated, was bought in
Houser's saloon by the boys and that
they also bought some and took it
away with them.
1--WE left the main part of Orrville
about o'clock, walking up the track
in the direction of the water tank"
stated White. I'VE stopped when we
reached point between the depot
and the water tank and took drink.
At that time We heard some one ap-
preaching Miller pulled his revolver
and told me to stop the person that
was coming. When / refused he said,
You stop him or / will shoot you /
pulled my revolver and when the per-
son got within six or seven feet from
me l told him to hold up his hands,"
continued White.
"At this time the person turned and
ran toward the depot and then is when |
Miller shot him. l at once ran up the |
track, not waiting to see if he had hit |
the person. When / reached the water |
tank Miller overlook me and we re-
turned to the scene and Miller asked |
me to help move the body. l refused
and Everhardt said that he would |
help. Everhardt and Miller then car
ried the body to the side of the track |
and at that time we heard freight |
train coming on the c. A. & G.. track |
and we ran across to catch it."
Did the person moan when they
moved him." asked the attorney.
Il think he did," was the answer.
White then told of their escape to
Akron and of the talks they had be-
.ween themselves to try to prove an
llibi if they we're arrested.
During the arguing of the case by
he attorneys both mothers, Mrs. Dye,
he mother of the murdered boy, and
Irs. White, the mother of the accused,
jat side by side in chairs near the law
'ers and at times they would hide their
aces in their hands and weep. 1t
vas sad sight and many in the ccurt
house were brought to tears.
After the argument of Prosecutor
Jarlin Thursday the judge will make
lis charge to the jury.

A WIDOW
JUST THE SAME
Federal Judge Holds That
Divorced Woman Have the
Same Rights as Widows

Toledo, o., March PA di-
vorced woman, whose husband Is
living is to be classed widow.
The appellation "grass WIDOW
won't do. Such is the interpreta-
ton given a decision rendered by
Judge II. w. Tayler, in the
United States District Court, in
the interesting case of Ella f..
Giles, bankrupt.
Mrs. Giles, on June % last was
adjudged a bankrupt by the Fed
eral Court. Harry Levison was
appointed trustee. Petitioner asked
that she be allowed as exempt, un-
der the Ohio statutes, her house,
hold goods and a lot worth about
$4O0, situated in North Toledo.
Fordyce Bclford, United States
Bankruptcy Referee, allowed the
first named exemption. but upheld
the trustee in his finding that the
bankrupt was not entitled to
property under the state laws.
AS reason Mr.. Belford certi-
fled to Judge Taylerr that "she
was denied the right to the real
estate because she is not widow,
and because she is not an unmar-
ried female, having IN coed faith
the care, maintenance and custody
of any minor child or children of
a deceased relative, as required by
Section 544l."
Judge Tayler holds that Mrs
Giles is entitled to the exemptions
asked for. 1t therefore follows
that "grass widows" so-called
can benefit under the Ohio statutes
which resolved into an interesting
question for the Federal Court
Judge Tayler set aside the decision
of the Referee in Bankruptcy.

that he did not hear any challeng-

OVERHEAD CROSSINGS.

Residents of the north part of
the city are just now agitating
the matter of lowering the tracks
of the Big -Four and Erie railroads,
through the business, or central
part of the city and doing away
with the dangerous crossings at
Oak, Prospect, Main, State and
Greenwood streets. The residents
OF the west part of the city are
considering a viaduct for kenton
Avenue to Obliterate the danger
at that crossing Of the same
roads. Both propositions will be
presented to the city council with
in short time and with it will
rest the decision.
There b no question regarding
the necessity or propriety of both
improvements. The crossing at
kentOn Avenue is a very danger
Gus one because of the number of
railway. tracks and the obstruc-
ton Of the view by buildings and
strings of cars. The uptown
crossings are scarcely less danger
ous because OF the heavy grade and
the buildings on all sides of the
tracks. The public Is entitled to
better protection at all of these
crossings and the very best protec-
ton which could be secured is the
overhead street crossing. The
railway crossings in the uptown
section have been great factor
in retarding the growth of, the
city tc' the north, the direction in
which the city really should grow,
because of the lay of the land.
The Kenton Avenue crossing has
retarded the growth of the city
toward the north west to the same
or an even greater extent and the
indications are that within few
years Marion will need both locali-
ties to take care of the growth
which she is enjoying. Marion is
destined to be great city and
the sooner such material improve
ments are made the better for the
city and all of the people.
These proposed improvements do
not affect only those persons liv-
ing north and west, but every
person m Marion should be in
terested in securing bethsr potec-
tion at the railway crossings.

those who we're his bitterest ene-
mics during his life, as well as by
those who were his friends.
I He will have as his active pail
bearers several white men and one
negro, his former bodyguard.
His grave will be lined with
stone, and a huge stone slab, saw
ed especially, will be its cover.
His only relatives present will
be his wife and son, who turned
against him in the time of his
trouble.
Dowie, it is estimated, left
$l,0OO,0OO in money and property
not involved in the affairs of Zion
City. In his will he cut off his
son without cent and gave his
widow only whats the law allowed
her.
The residue of his estate goes to
the Christian Catholic church.
Deacon j. C.. Cutler is named
Dowie's successor as the spiritual
head of the Dowie church.
Mrs. G. i. Colman, wife Of a
millionaire retired merchant, ere
ated a sel'ation in Zion City by
announcing herself the successor
OF John Alexander Dowie, declar-
ing that she Us a prophecies and
that she had vision in which an
angel appeared and directed her
to Gust Voliva and assume charge
CT the affairs of the Holy City.
Mrs. Colman preached the doctrine
OF rebellion in front Of Shiloh
House, where the body of Dowie
was lying in state. Zion City, al
ready on the point of breaking
with Voliva, who is new almost
frlendless so far as tFe Dowieties
are concerned, was greatly stirred.

Washington, March THE in
quiry' by the senate committee, on
military affairs as to the facts
connected with the affray at
Brownsville, Texas, which result
ed in the discharge without honor
of battalion of the Twenty-fifth
infantry, was resumed yesterday.
The committee was disappointed
| by the inability of any of the
white officers of the negro soldiers
to finish with the court martial,
which is now progressing at San
Antonio, Texas, in time to be
here. Officers of the Twenty-six
infantry who preceded the Twenty
fifth at Brownsville reported to
the committee, and will be put on
5he stand to testify concerning the
alleged antagonism of the citizens
If Brownsville to any soldiers be-
ing located there.
Joseph Henry Howard, formerly
IF company ID testified that on the
night of the affray, August 13, he
went on guard at 1890 O'Clock
and his post was around the bar
racks. About midnight he heard
two shots from the town and then

evidence of the precailing spirit
against the resort to arms.
The success of the Pan-Amcri-
can Conference in Rio Janeiro last
faM, brought about mainly
through the efforts of the United
States, il sure indication that
the principles of peace have
found secure Judgement in the
Western Hemisphere.
There will take place IN New
York early this spring a confer
ence to represent the American
peace movement. Many delegates
from the United States will at
tend the international conference
in Germany later in the year.
The great body Of mankind, al
though easily excited when war
is waging or rumors of war are
in the, air. is undoubtedly in favor
Of some equitable scheme for in
ternational arbitration which will
dcthrone Mars.
Three recent developments
argue well for the worlds peace.
Chief among these, perhaps, Is
the announcement that, should a
committee on international peace
be formed, the United States will
furnish a member. Measures TO
create such a committee have been
discussed informally in the halls
of our national legislature and
probably there would have been
definite action had the session
been longer.
The Emperor of Germany has
given his unqualified Endorsement
to The Hague plans, which may
be taken as an indication of ulti-
mate success. At the opening Of
the Reichstag the Kaiser al
though wearing a strict military
costume with helmet and sword
declared that Germany will have
full representation at the confer
ence. He expressed himself as in
hearty accord with the spirit Of the
undertaking.
Such words from Emperor
William cannot but have the most
beneficial effect. f
The other development which
encourages peace advocates is the
encouragement with which Profes-
sor De Martens, who is arranging
for the conference, is meeting.
Professor DE Martena is visiting
European capitals as the agent of
the Car, who nominally is at the
head of the peace movement.
The professor has carried mat
ters to the point where definite
announcement can be made. For
the good of the conference he
hopes that the question of disar-
mamen,t or even limitation of ar
nament, will not be brought up
for discussion at this session, az
there is absolutely no chance for
an argeement.
The matters most likely to be
accomplished are the adjustment of
international disputes; the franz

b. +. Yoakum, chairman of
the board of directors of the Chi
cago Rock Island and Pacific
railway, has gone upon record as
being willing that the supervision
Of the railroads be centralized in
the national government, if this
would serve to quiet the public.
He points to the demand CT the
people in all sections of the coun-
try for two-cent passenger fare

suited from the agitation which
was instituted by the president.
Slowly but surely the country is
being swung around to government
