.DARR|N SCORES HAMS
And Characterizes His LAWYER as the
Paid Lawyer of Two CowardIy
Murderers.
Special to the Herald.

Flushing, n. Y, JAM 14.-Prosecu-
tor Darrin has begun the closing
speech for the prosecution in the
Thornton Hams case He character
lied the Hams brothers as two cow
|ardly murderers who killed an I'M
armed man. He charged that Annis
was killed as the result of a conspir-
acy because Peter Hams considered
him guilty of wrecking his home. He
defended Mrs. Annis from the perjury
charge brought by the paid, lawyer
of the two cowardly murderers." OAR
rim expressed the belief that after the
verdict has been rendered by the jury
that fewer people will consider adul-
terry justification for murder.
Thornton Hams is plainly worried by
the speech, and shows unmistakable
evidence of fear as the case draws to
"a close. Juror Walsh, who was in
sjured by falling from a street car. is
in a serious condition. Judge Crane
hopes to give the case to the jury to-
hight.

THIRTY PEOPLE INJURED.
In the Burning of the Copeland Hotel

Guest Is Missing.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Topeka, Kas., Jan. 14.-Fire com
pletely destroyed the Copeland Hotel,
one of the largest in the city, this
morning, and thirty guests are known
to be injured. A. w. Smith of Nc
Pherson, former republican candidate
for governor, was probably fatally in
jured. The hotel was full of sleeping
guests when the fire alarm was sound
ed at 4 o'clock this morning. Among
the guests were many members of
the legislature and their families, and
public men attending the legislature.
which has just opened The fire
spread so rapidly that numbers of the
guests were compelled to jump from
the upper windows. A number of
people are reported missing.
The fire evidently started near the
kitchen and spread to the upper roofs
through the elevator shaft. The stair
way was also near the elevator shaft
and prevented escape in that way.
Twenty people were rescued on lad
ders. Smith made rope of his bed
clothes, but had to drop a consider
able distance to the ground, and was
hurt internally All guests with the
exception of E. l. Lambert have been
accounted for, and it is believed he is
dead in the ruins. Former Governor
Glyck escaped uninjured. Speaker
Dolley and twelve representatives and
seven senators and two judges were
among those rescued.

EXPLOSION PUZZLES EXPERTS.
Say Two Casualties In a Fortnight
Are Without Precedent.

Bluefield, W. Va, Jan. ia total
of thirty-five bodies have been taken
from the Inflated mine at Lick
Branch. Three rescue crews of forty
men each, led by State Mine Inspect
ors Grady, Nicholson and Warner, are
at work. The men in the three crews
met the most CHASTITY sights within
the torn and fire-swept corridors and
workings of the mine, where bodies
are found mangled and mutilated be-
yond identification.
1t is difficult to distinguish be-
tween white and black because they
are so frightfully burned. Some bodies
taken from the mine resembled char
red masses of flesh more than human
beings From some bodies the legs
are gone and from others the arms
and some are headless.
Experienced men are authority for
the statement that this is the first
case on record where two explosions
took place in the same mine in such
short space of time, and they are I'M
able to explain the cause. Some of
them point to the fact that the mer-
curry fell 10 degrees within several
hours on the morning of the disaster
and hold that such rapid changes in
the weather have influence on the
conditions which produce mine dis
asters.

Goldfold district will soon be enjoying
the luxury of modern street car trans

Main street in Goldfeld. From the
junction Of Main and Miner streets the
line will run along Main street to
Crook, and out Crook as far as Sundog.
There will be two loops, one cireling
the residence portion of Goldfield, and
another covering the big mines and
Jumhotown.
Only a small force of men are now ut

HAS BEGUN ON
GOLDFlELD TROLLY LINE

from the main portion of the camp"
The controversy between the board
of county commissioners and the Trac-
ton company over the fling of a 49,
coo bond has not yet been settled. At
torneys for the company contend that
the Nevada statutes require the fling
of a bond equal to the amount of the
bid for the franchise. which in this
ease was $3.50, and they take the position
that if a bond for a greater or less
amount is filed it would invalidatc the
charter and the bonds of the road. The
new board, which sits for the first time
ON january 4, is expected to take some
definite action toward a solution of the
problem.
