Waco, Texas, Oct 31.-The jury
having been completed Thursday af-
ternoon in the case of Mrs. Pearl
Goode, charged with killing her hus-
band near Ben Hur, in Limestone
county, in June OF this year, the tes-
timony was begun yesterday morn
ing A good part of the morning ses-
sion was consumed in reading the
indictment and pleadfngs. The OBJ
jections by the defendant counsel to
portions Of the plaintiffs pleading
were numerous and a good deal OF
time was consumed in hearing them
and in the court making its rulings
on them.
Price Harris, the deputy sheriff
of Limestone county, who was first
to arrive on the scene after the ira
gedy, was the first witness put on
the stand, and when court adjourn
ed at noon, they had just finished
with his direct examination. He tes-
tilted as to the condition he found
things in when he arrived, Gescrib-
ing particularly the situation
where the body was found, and the
condition OF things in and around
the house He was also questioned
as to his conversation with Mrs.

of the killing at that time. He stat
ed that she told him that two men
had been there about an hour before
he came, and that they nad killed
her husband. Mr.. Harris testified
that 1t was about ! ! o'clock at night
VIXEN he got to the Goode home, and
that he stayed until about 3 O'Clock.
The cross-examination of this wit
ness was finishea yesterday after
noon without any developments Of
special Importance. The main inter-
est Of the afternoon centered around
the two statements that Mrs. Goode
made to the judge in Limestone
county at the time she was indicted.
The state sprung the statements
upon the, defense unexpectedly and
there was a great deal of wrangling
and objections. Court adjourned yes
terday afternoon as soon as the state
ments were read.
Public interest is at a high pitch
since the testimony has been taken
up, and the hitherto crowded condi-
tion of the court room was far out

EXPRESS COMPANY ROBBED
Reports Loss of $4,000 Consigned to
Mexican Bank

Laredo, Tex, May 2.-The loss of
$500 in Mexican currency has been
reported by the Wells-Fargo Express
company to the authorities of Torreon,
Mex. The company claims it was
taken from through safe on their

consigned to one of the banks of Chi

Two arrests have been made in Tor

the officials that the men who were
arrested have the money.
1t appears that one of the agents of
the company boarded the express train
at station between the City of Mex

the train. 1t is said that he was the
only man who was in the car who
knew the combination of the safe He

suicide of Charles Coster, a prominent
broker and society man, the stock ex-
change firm OF Coster, Knapp & Co.,
of which Mr.. Coster was a member,
announced its suspension on the floor
of the New York Stock Exchange.
The firm was a prominent one and
had done an extensive business In
an announcement given out at the
time of the suspension it was said
that the action was directly due to
the death of Mr.. Coster. A statement
issued by a member of the firm said:
Owing to the death of Mr.. Coster
and the consequent condition of the
firms affairs it has been deemed ad-
yisable to make a general assignment
for the benefit Of all creditors. This
step was taken at the suggestion of
most of the creditors and Mr. Werner
OF the law firm of Simpson, Werner
& Cardoza. The assignee has already
started in to straighten out accounts
so as to be in a position to make a
correct statement to all parties inter
ested as early as possible"

and called up the secretary's room.
He was told, as usual, to hold the line,.
and very soon a voice said: sHello!"
The affair being of a personal ma

to the person at the other end, and
asked: Who is speaking?"
The reply was SO faint and brisg
that it left him still in doubt, and he
said: Il don't catch it,
Once more the answer was so faint

GREAT LOCKOUT NOW ON
shipbuiIders OF United Kingdom
Closing Down Plants.

Glasgow, May 1.-THE Clyde ship
builders have locked out 5000 wood
workers from their yards. This meas
ure is an outcome of the dispute be-
tween the Shipbuilding Employers
federation and the shipworkers of the
Northeast coast, who struck rather
than accept a reduction in wages and
who have not been able to get the
federation to arbitrate their demands.
Iockouts have been decided upon at
all the shipbuilding yards in the Unit
ed Kingdom and wcrkmen in other
branches gradually will be locked out.
There seems every prospect of COM
plete stoppage of the shipbuilding in
dustry, a condition that will affect di.
rectly not less than 100000 men.
London, May 2.-The woodworkers
in all the shipbuilding yards of the
country, totalling about $4,000 men,
were locked out in pursuance OF, the
determination Of the masters to close
the yards unless the Northeast coast
strikers agree to their terms. The
workmen in other branches, totalling
many scores of thousands, will neces-
sarily have to cease work before long
unless a settlement of the dispute is
reached
