Ellerson said he was not certain that
the persons who called at the club

pointed out on the dock after the shoot

On rebuttal Ellerson said, in reply to
a question:: "Goldstein came to me and
asked me to sign a typewriter state
ment that it was not the Hams broth
ers that were in the reception room and
asked about the Realty Co. and Mr..
Annis. l would not sign it and told
Goldstein that I did not know whether
it was the Hams brothers or not"
Ellerson was about to be excused
when Mr.. Mcintyre asked the witness
if Goldstein did not ask him to sign
another statement written on piece
of paper. Yes"
Ibid you sign it?" asked Justice
Crane. mo, I did not, for said that

Attorney Mcintyre moved to strike
out certain. portions of Ellerson's tes-
timony with reference to the Hams
brothers in the reception room of the
Yacht Club. The motion was denied
and Ellerson was excused.
Frederick Storm, a real estate dealer
and member of the Bayside Yacht Club
took the stand. Storm said he went to
the Yacht Club on the afternoon of
Aug. Is. and while driving to the club
saw Martin Saura driving along. He
did not know who was in the cab.
"Mr. Birchfield came to me at the
club and I went down to the dock and

Mr.. Storm said that he then was
roWed out to the boat which he was to
sail in the race. The witness said he
heard the shooting from his boat and a
woman screamed.
"a man fell into the water" said Mr..
Storm. I came quickly to the dock to
see what had happened. 1 saw Thorn

sitting on an upturned boat and there

II asked him what in the world he
did it for and he replied: If he had

The motion to strike out the testi-
mony with regard to what Hams said
from the record was granted by Justice
Crane. The direct examination of Mr..

had assembled outside the Parliament
building, broke into cheers and sa-
lutes We're fired from the forts and the
Haytien gunboats in the harbor.
The other aspirants to the Presiden-
cy did not come forward actively. The
reason for this course was the fear that
another outbreak of the disorder
would result in American intervention.
Congress met in the palace of the
Senate under the Presidency of Sena-
tor Paulin. The roll call showed the
presence of III representatives and
when the vote was counted it was seen
that every delegate had expressed him
slf in favCr of Gen. Simon. Senator
Larouche delivered a laudatory speech
nominating the successful revolution
ist. He urged Congress to keep in mind
one single objective. the good of the
country and elect Antoin Simon. The
nomination was seconded by Delegate
Dalenbrun.
The authorities took ample precau-
tions for the maintaining of order. The
streets leading to the palace were
guarded by the police and battalion
OF troops was drawn up in front of the

citizens were permitted free access to
the building. but the authorities made
