Attorney for Defendants characterIzes
Testimony as "ldIe Gossip"
Physician Says Body Was
Not Bruised
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
DECATUR. ILL.,. Oct. 15.-The state
closed It's case against Magill, and counsel
for the defense filed a demurrer to the
evidence and asked the court to instruct
the jury to return verdict Of not guilty.
Arguments on the demurrer followed.
In arguing the motion Attorney Lemon
characterized most of the testimony
against Magill as idle gossip, and called
it "a heartless performance"
DIR. w. A. Evans of Chicago, who exam
ined the body of Mrs. Magill No. when
it was exhumed five weeks after burial,
discovered that the brain and liver were
those of healthy woman. He found no
bruises on the body.
Because of the lateness of hi.j examina-
tion and because of the fluid used he could
not say whether death resulted from
chloroform or not
Judge Cohrane overruled the motion of
the defense to instruct the jury to return
a verdict of mot guilty" He said it Is
against his policy to take felony case
from a jury.
Marguerite Magill, the 19-year-old
daughter of the dead woman and Fred
Magill, took the stand during the closing
hours of today's session and told of the
finding of the letter which urged Faye
Graham "to take good care of Mar
guerite.'
She said the letter was found in chif-
fonier drawer. The girl did not remember
the hour of any of the incidents of which
she told, and did not know the letter was
in her fathers pocket when the search
began. She will go on the stand again
tomorrow.

TRAIN IN ENGLAND
WRECKED; is KILLED
ORDERS DIsREeARDEo, CARS GO
INTO DITCH
Accident on London G. Northwestern
Line at Shrewsbury Costs Lives
of Many-Ten Passen-
gers Dead
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SHREWSBURY, England Oct. Is. = A
train made UP of passenger coaches
bound from Scotland and the north
of England to Bristol left the rails as
it was entering the station here at an
early hour this morning. Sixteen per-
sons, including ten passengers, were
killed and many were injured.
The London s. Northwestern railroad,
on which the train was running, curves
sharply as it nears Shrewsbury and there
is a standing order that the engineers
must not exceed a speed of ten miles
an hour at that point. Disregard of the
order is believed to have been the cause
of the accident.
The engine and all the cars, with the
exception of the last one, left the rails,
and when the officials from the railroad
station reached the. spot the cars were
tangled mass of wreckage, beneath
which were the bodies of the dead and
injured.
Fortunately the wreck did not catch
fire and the doctors and salvage crews
which soon reached the scene did not
have this added danger to fight in the
| darkness and pouring rain, which, how
ever, retarded the work of rescue and
several hours expired before the last body
was taken out.
The dead include the engineer and fire-
man and the guards and postal clerks
who were in the mail car Immediately
behind the tender of the engine.

Vote to Be Real
Test

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-E H. Hartman
by order of the court today was de-
prived of the voting power Of 267.731
shares of Illinois Central stock in the
annual meeting of that railroad company
which opens here at noon tomorrow.
The order of the court was identical
with the modification asked by the at
torneys of Mr.. Hartman. Both sides
claim victory Mr.. Fish because the
enjoined shares will not be effective at
the election, and Mr. Hartman because
modification was secured.
The shares of stock ruled out are those
held by the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany, the Railroad Securities company
of New Jersey and the Mutual Life In
surance company of New York, against
which temporary injunction was yes
terday issued by Judge Ball In the su-
perio. court.
Mr.. Fish asked yesterday that the vot-
ing of these shares of stock be enJoined.
The court today, after extensive argu-
mept by the attorneys of both sides, mod
ifed the injunction by permitting the
shares to be voted under condition that
If any one of these shares should have
a decisive euecL on any vote taken tne
ertire vote then Is to be null and void.
Fish Given Handicap
In other words Mr.. Fish is given by the
court handicap of 2S6,731 votes, and In
order to defeat him on any motion or
resolution which comes before the annu-
al meeting, Mr.. Hartman and his friends
must cast 2S6,731 votes more than are
cast by Mr.. Fish and his followers.
The outstanding shares number $50, ,45o
Counting out the shares affected by Judge
Balls decision today. the total effective
vote Is 663, 669 shares. Based upon pre-
vious meetings of the Illinois Central tn,
estimate is made that approximately
100 900 shares will not be voted. This, IL
the opinion of an attorney in the case
will leave probable representation Of
563,669 shares at the meeting. ift-.
AS the matter stands tonight, both
sides believe victory is In their grasp
Both are of the opinion that they hold
the greater number of proxies, but the
actual facts in this connection cannot be
guessed with any accuracy. 1t is admit
ted by the attorneys on both sides that
many stockholders have issued duplicate
ad even triplicate proxies, and as the
proxy of latest date is effective, neither
side knows exactly where 1t stands
Neither will give out figures

day, but did not attend the court pro-

Investigation

WASHIfJGTON, Oct 15.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane, who went
to California in response to reports from
the agent of the commission declaring
that the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany was giving rebates and that proof
could be obtained, has returned to Wash
ington. -
The commissioner believes that fragrant
violation of the law can be proved and
it is the present understanding that as
soon as the facts collected are submitted
to the commission, certification to the IL
legal operations will be made to the de-
partment of justice with a request for
prosecution of those responsible. The
law. as 1t now stands provides two
year Imprisonment for each offense.
Whether Mr.. Hartman can be indicted
will depend upon whether his RESPONSE
bility for the alleged violations of the
law can be demonstrated. Members OF
the interstate commerce commission be-
lieve 1t can. They say that as the presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific he either
knew or should have known what his
subordinates were doing.
According to Commissioner Lanes in
vestigation rebates were being paid as
late as September "a of this year and
during that part of September up to the
gath the road paid out in rebates to
favored shippers $4,000. The evidence
upon which the interstate commerce
commissioners will base their charges
was found in the books of the company
itself. 1t Is stated that upon the last
day of Commissioner Lanes stay in San
Francisco a freight official of the South
ern Pacific offered himself as a witness
for the government 1t is asserted, with
the hope of obtaining immunity.
In nearly every case in which rebates
were made the shippers involved are
said to be rich and powerful corpora
