POLICEMAN'S STORY DENIED.
Girls Hand Too Crippled to
 Shoot Herself.
DOUBT CAST ON LETTER.

Victim of Brooklyn Park Tragedy Not
 Able to Write Love Letter Produced
 by Officer to Support His Story, Say
 Her FamiIy-His Wife, With Baby
 In Arms In Court, Affirms Belief In
 Her Husbands Innocence = He Re-
 peats Declaration That Dead Woman Was Infatuated With Him.
 New York. July 25.-Discorery that Barbara Rieg's right hand was so bad ly crippled that she could not move the trigger of hard pulling revolver such as the one with which Patrolman Da- vid E. Shellard said she had shot her self when he was with her in the shelter house of Irving Square park, Brooklyn. made the case against the patrolman look bad. It was only a few hours after Shellard was held without bail on a charge of murdering the girl that the crippled condition of her hand was learned.
 Another startling feature of the case was the turning over by SheIlard to the police of a love letter he said the young woman had written to him soon before the shooting. He offered it to prove Barbara had been infatuated with him. As soon as members of the girls family read the letter they pro- nounced it forgery. The condition of the girls hand at the time the let ter was dated, they said, was such that she could not have written so long letter had she desired.
 Think Policeman Fired Shot.
 The revelation of these facts by the family of the dead girl as she lay in a coffin in her home made the story of Shellard that the young woman had shot herself as he was putting on his coat in the shelter house seem improb- able. There was little doubt In the minds of those who looked into the case carefully that Shellard himself discharged the revolver that killed the girl either accidentally or intentionally.
 When Shellard was arraigned in court his wife, holding his baby, was there. When the patrolman and his wife met in court the wife sobbed bit terly. She walled that she did not believe a word of the charges against him and that she would stand by him until the last.
 Before he was arraigned in court shellard was questioned again by h. spectors Flood and Hussey. He stuck to his story of the day before that the girl had shot herself with his revolver and that she was so infatuated with him that he could not get rid of her.

THE CREMATION MATINEE.
Everybody Enjoyed the Reception On
 Jacques Stage.

Begone ye shades of Bennett Moulton, Coarse Payton, Frederick R. Waite and other stars of ye olden days! You no longer live in the hearts of the theater goers of to-day. Your glory and fame have been usurped by that rising body of theat- rical lights in the Poli Stock com pany which is carving its name with indelible letters in the hall of fame never mind where. For yesterday at Jacques theater they gave a. re. ception and carnation matinee-and their manner of receiving, you should have been there to grasp that powerful hand of David Hartford and then to be the recipient of a winsome smile from Miss Fanny Nordstrom: ''gee but it was great. It was just worth the price of ad- mission to be present and to see how the thespesians themselves enjoyed ! it. As Manager James Clancy ex- pressed it, 1t would have most cer- tainly tickled the heart of s. z. Poli had he been on the stage to see 1 what big success the carnation re- CcplluH -lIuiy was. r..-s
 It was just after the curtain had descended upon the last act of the drama At Pineya Ridge" which has been going strong at the Jacques all week hat MT Clancy stepped before the footlights to extend cordial in- vitation to all present to ascend to the stage and meet the actors. Oh ut.er-"when I was with Charley Frohman." In the words of one of the rising young reporters of our city. Tt was just too grand for anything" a.-s4sA -s
 But getting to real facts the re. ception was a much bigger success than anyone had anticipated. Gen. erally an audience has to be coaxed and teased and asked again and again to come upon the stage at such an event. But yesterday with Miss Nordstrom standing at the top of the s.airs to receive, with a hand some bunch of carnations in her hand and all the other members of the stock close by ready to do their prettiest with the words "wel- come to our stage" the inducements were indeed strong. So 1t was not strange that almost everyone fin the theater crowded upon the stage and the actors were so busy shaking hands and passing out carnations that 1t was almost o'clock before
 hey were started homeward. Sev- eral of them had to stop at the drug store to get some liniment to rub their tired muscles.
 And say did you pipe the number of young men in the audience? How they fingered round awhile expect ing 10 make an mpression-with whom did you say? My. it was amusing, The children enjoyed it immensely, the parents derived gen. uine satisfaction from 1t. and almost all present apparently took as much ipterest in it as in the play. It is 10 be hoped that Manager Clancy will arrange another for the near fu- ture.

~HE olive crop for the season
/ 19O7-s in the Peloponnesus. Greece.
is unusually large, especially in
comparison with that of the
previous year, which was almost total
failure
The former seasons nonproductive-
ness was due to the excessive rains
and hailstorms then prevailing, while
this season the favorable weather con-
ditions served to increase the size and
improve the quality of the crop. In
the province of Achaia, In the north
west of the Peloponnesus, it Is estimat-
ed that the crop will aggregate about
$4,000 pounds. In the district of Phar-
ron in the north of the Peloponnesus
this crop is estimated at 2s2, ,6S5 pounds,
an increase OF one-third In the south
ern provinces of Missinia and Laconia
the crops are reported to be unusually
large and the olives of a superior quail
ty, due in a great measure to generous
rains after a prolonged period of dry
ness The yield of olive oil from the
latter districts alone is estimated at
about 5000 tons.
The olives exported from the Pelo-
ponnesus are black in color and are
sent picked In brine. The finest va
riety is grown to the north OF the Pelo-
ponnesus on the plain about Amphissa
on the north coast of the gulf Of Co
rinth. About 80 per cent of the crop
of this district is exported to the United
States, largely through Patras, the
chief port of the Peloponnesus-
Corfu. large island lying northwest
OF Greece, also exports considerable
olive oil. mostly to Russia, England
and France. Only about 100 tuns of
oot, Chi 10 Ia
United States from Corfu during 1907
while during 1906 some 500 tuns had
that destination. The latter we're, how
ever, what remained of the previous
years abundant crop.
The crop in Corfu for the season
1907-S is very large and is expected,
according to information sent from
there by American Consular Agent c.
e. Hancock, to yield about 1900 to
$4,000 tuns of olive oil, ranking second
only to the crop of 1906, the largest
known crop for 80 years. The crop for
1906 was practically a failure, produc-
ing only about $50 tuns Of OIL
Previous to 1905 there had been a
succession of very poor crops. and 1t
was thought almost generally that a
good crop would never again be seen
and that the trees had become hopeless
ly diseased. but comparativly heavy
fall of snow in the early part of 1905.
with ~ hard frost following, seems to
have Killed the germ of the fly that had
been so increasingly destructive to the
fruit in the previous Ia years. This
rendered possible the phenomenal crop
of the season 1866.
In Corfu, owing to the great age
and large size OF the trees, the olives
are allowed to ripen ana fall to the
ground and then gathered. In the
Peloponnesus. on the other hand, the
harvesting method usually employed Is
to beat the trees with long wooden
poles, the severe shaking causing the
olives to fall to the ground 1t Is cal
culated that the yield is only one-hfth
to one third of that when the olives
are allowed to fall to the ground The
quality of the oil resulting from the
former method is. however. somewhat
superior.
The harvest periods in the PeIoponne-
