ELLA GINGLES' TRIAL
TO END MONDAY
Girls Attorney, in Plea, Defends
Her Story and Denounces
State.

CHICAGO. July 1z-At the close OF
TIE final plea for Ella Gingles. on trial
for larceny of laces from Miss Agnes
Barrette, her former employer. which
was made by Attorney Patrick H
O'Donnell, the jury asked for an adj
Journment until Monday morning wher
Assistant States Attorney 3. J. Short
viii close the case.
Mr.. O'Donnell made an appeal to the
jury that brought tears to the eyes OF
several of them. He declared the testi-
mony given In the girls trial was OF
such nature as to give State Attorney
Wayman chance TO write his name
among the great If he would only take
advantage of it. O'Connell denounced
the State for trying to make it appear
that he had put into the mouth of Ella
Gingles the story which she repeated
on the witness stand.
THE State has charged that I nut the
name of Tom Taggart in this girls
mouth. They had TO abandon that when
they learned that Ella told the same
story to others before she told il to
me. Then, they tried to show that this
girl got her story from reading medical
treatises. Mr.. Shorts admission that
her story was scientifically true shows
that she was telling the truth No
human mind could have concocted that
story.
In his preliminary address to the Jury
State Attorney Short declared that Fila
Gingles was natural liar with a fertile
mind.

"DRYS" AT BRISTOL
CONTINUE FIGHT

BRISTOL, Tenn, July 15.-Charging
that l07 persons who voted wet in the
local option election held hc-e July s.
had Jhcir poll taxes paid by others. and
giving the names Of the alleged Illegal
voters, the temperance people today
filed a petition in the corporation court
asking that the election be either set
aside or that the Illegal votes be strick-
en- out. This woulu show d large dry
majority.
Tt is charged that over a hundred
persons voted wet who either live
outside the state or outside the city
limits. The petition also names Ger
tain persons who voted wet, who are
said to be disqualified by reason Of
having been convicted of crime. The
most surprising feature of the bill is
the charge that more than one hum
dred persons did not pay their poll
taxes out of their own funds, as re-
qUired by the Virginia law. These
persons are called by name, and the
list includes some well-knOwn citizens.
The petition AYERS that there were
only 2G3 legal votes cast I'm favor of
licensing saloons, and that. Of the 433
shown by the returns as favoring
license, 40 are illegal.

they do not think he can get the votes.
For instance, If hides are put on the

Hosiery Schedule Troublesome.
The hosiery schedule is giving the con-
ferees a good deal of worriment Rep
resentatives of big hosiery interests
have served notice on the conferees
that if the House increases are
knocked out. il viii be necessary to cut
vases In seventy establishments in
Pennsylvania. The hosiery interests
take the position that conditions have
changed and the Dingley rates, which
VIII be in erect If the House increases
are Knocked out, viii not be adequate.
The Conferees took up the cotton
schedule today. Representative Payne
IS opposed to the Senate changes, which
are widely alleged TO be disguised in
creaSes. It has been practically settled
that the duty of So per cent on foreign
built yachts viii not be imposed. The
New York milliOnaiTes have been kick
ing hard over this proposed duty.
The conferees on the tariff bill agreed
10 the wooden schedule today. Three re-
auctions were made. One of these re-
lated to spun yarn. The duty on yarns
valued at 20 cents a pound and under
