MORE EVIDENCE

Matter of Record


New York, Nov. 13-Further insight
into the continuous warfare that was
waged by the peasantry against the
overlords and barons of Russia was
gained today from the testimony OF
two witnesses called by the defense

en-, refugee, extradited on charges
of murder, arson and robbery. >

at the last hearing, was recalled today
but again refused to give the namea
of the members of the executive COM
mittee of the. revolutionary organizes
ton in Russia. Osolin spoke with
freedom concerning his acquaintance
with Pouren, however, and gave addi-
tional details of the life of Pouren.
Edward Sermons, cabinet maker
of Chelsea, Mass, who had known
Pouren in Russia, told of his associa-
ton with Pouren and described him
as "a brave man fighting for his fell
lows"
He said that the attacks made on
the barons and the dragons by the
revolutionary militia, of which Pouren
was member were justified and Oft
en- necessitated as an act of protec-
ton.
Sermons did not conclude his testi-
mony. The hearing was adjourned
until Saturday, when the defense ex-
poets to close. 1t is said Pouren then
will take the stand in his own defense,

New York, May 2O.-A sensation
was caused on the New York Cotton
Exchange when it became known that
a number of members of the exchange
had been subpoenaed to appear before
the federal grand jury. No official
statement was made as to the sub
ject upon which they were to be ques-
toned. Rumor was that the subject
under investigation was the trading
of very large speculator in connec-
ton with advance information secur-
ed by this speculator on government
crop estimates. Another report was
that the exchanges methods of ar
ranging the grading of cotton was the

out a tremor he walked down the

at the institute told him after they had

but I'm not afraid"
There was nothing about the man
to lead anyone to suspect he was

little and he was slightly nervous. bat
beyond that he seemed in good health.
The strange thing about his case is
that he was never bitten by dog.

THE CAPITOL TRIAL
States ExpertShow How Com
m0nWeaIth Was Defrauded.
BAD DAY FOR DEFENSE

1t Was Shown That Ornaments or
Metallic Furniture Were Paid For
As Extras" and Then Paid For a
Second Time AS Part of the Cases.
Harrisburg, Pa, May 20.-The CAPT
tol trial was resumed, and the state
presented testimony supporting Its
claim that the furniture supplied un.
der the invoice upon which the suit
is based was falsely billed, both a. to
dimensions and character Of construc'
ton. There were two witnesses pre-
sented, both of which strongly testi'
fled in favor of the commonwealth,
although one of them made mistakes
in ejaculation under a sharp cross-ex-
animation by ex-Attorney General
sell.
The witnesses heard were George
H. Richter, of Boston, and II. R. Datz,
of Jersey City. both practical metallic
furniture men. Richter testified as to
the exact dimensions of cases sup
exhibited to the jury and measured in
court to show the methods. The state
established that the square feet. in the
ends and front did not equal the fig
ures at which they were billed. but
Mr. Hensel had the expert measure
the top, contending that it was fin
ished surface and should be counted
iii. In making calculations based
upon these measurements, Richter be-
came confused several times and had
10 do his problems twice, Mr.. Hensel
insisting upon mathematical accur-
acy down to very small fractions.
MI Datz testified that the cases con-
tanned 1865 cubic feet. or 1917 sur
face feet, although billed at 1560.50
square feet, and that the difference
between the surface feet measured an l
the total in the invoice was 403.73 feet,
which at $11.40 per foot, would make
total of $4604.S0, which the state
contends it was defrauded of. Mr..
DatZ also said that the upright orna-
ments affixed to the cases added $500
feet, or $108525 to the cost, the pilas'
tiers having extensions upon which to
rest. 1t is also contended by the state
that these pilasters and other orna-
ments were paid for as extras, and
then paid for a second time when
measured in as part of the cases. Ac-
cording to the witness the cases were
worth $1O,S42SO, and the table, which
cost $22SO, he put at 1854, or total of
$11,526.S0. The state had to pay ST.
