DID CLEVELAND SIGN IT?
Brandenburg's Guilt or Innocence Will
Be Decided Today.

New York. June 2S.-The end of the
trial of Broughton Brandenburg. charged
with grand larceny in the sale of an al
legged spurious letter of Grover Cleve-
land to the New York Times, drew near
today with the testimony of the last wit
ness and the beginning of the summing
up by the attorneys. The case will so to
the jury tomorrow.
Oswald N. Jacoby. summing up for
Brandenburg, cited that F. S. Hastings.
executor of the Cleveland estate, though
called before the grand jury was not
called as a witness by the district at
torney. He declared that powerful inter-
ests had been at work to attack the au-
thenticity of the article and that For
mer Secretary of the Treasury John G.
Carlisle and President Finley of the City
College had made UP their minds to dis
credit the article IL possible" and that
1.-The only way open to them was to at
tack the only living man who really
knows whether Mr. Cleveland wrote it
or not
He said that if Brandenburg committed
the crime charged. the author was one
of the cleverest criminals in the world
history. He called attention to the testi-
nony of the Times editors that they did
not rely on Brandenburgs statements
and that Brandenburg therefore could not
be convicted. But that would be an ''un-
manly" defence. he added. declaring the
real defence was that the article was
genuine.
"At any rate" he argued eff this article
was written by Grover Cleveland. the
question Of whether the signature is gen.
une or not is immaterial If it is genuine
the Times got what it paid for
He read passages from the article
which. he said, no one else but Mr.
Cleveland could have written.
Mr. Jacoby concluded with an attack
on the handwriting experts, Carvalho and
Pingelly. who testified against Brandon
burg. He called their profession despic-
able.

For 0rviIIe Wright to Try
Out His AeTop|ane.
Big Crowd, Including Senators,
Gather al Fort Meyer.
But 0rvlIIe As Usual Runs Things
to Suit Himself.

Washington. June 2S.-Owing to a
strong wind this afternoon the Wright
brothers failed to make their initial aero
plane flight of the year at Fort Myer.
They thus gave further evidence of their
disregard for public criticism when the
caution they exercise in all of their avia-
ton dictates such course.
Although the Senate set aside the tariff
flight of the aeroplane and senators and
several thousand others siZzled in the hot
sun on the Fort Myer drill grounds, the
Wrights decided that the wind was too
strong and too uncertain for a flight with
a new and untried machine.
Fully expecting to make preliminary
trial of the flying machine, Orvile Wright
early today notified Gen. James Allen.
the chief signal officer, that he intended
to make an unofficial trial flight after 4
o'clock this afternoon. AS a result long
before the hour named large crowd of
people went out to the army post on the
Potomac opposite Washington. At $50
o'clock the field was cleared by squad
of cavalry and everything was made
ready for flight.
1t was then 5 o'clock and a brisk wind
had sprung up from the west Heavy
storm clouds appeared upon the horizon
and when few scattering drops of rain
began to fall the crowd began to fear
that conditions were not favorable for a
flight. The word came. however, that
Orville did not mind flying in the ran.
but that the wind was the Objectionable
feature.
Then the clouds veered to the south
and the wind died out. Everything ap-
peared to be in readiness for the trial
when Il fresh wind began blowing from
the south.
at $50 o'clock, Wilbur turned to Taylor,
the Wrights' mechanic. and gave orders
to run the machine back to the shed.
