By James Mantir, Accused
Of Annie Mullins Murder.
Says Was Not Within 20 Miles
OF Scene on Day Of Murder.
Accuses Police Of Making Him Say
YES" to Alleged Confession.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 11.-An en-
phatic denial that he was within 20
miles OF the scene on the night Annie
Mullins was murdered, was made on
the stand today by James Mantir q
young Greek of Manchester. n. H.,
who with Peter Delorey of Siomerville.
Mass, is on trial for the crime.
In his direct examination Mantr de
clareG that on the day of the murder
be worked ali day at the farm of Mrs.
Elizabeth Delorey at Billerica, Mass.
He contradicted many of the state
ments made by Mrs. Delorey on the
stand and the testimony which she
gave to the police ard which led to
his arrest, as we'll as statements made
to the police by Delorey. He said that

those confession and accusations have
pointed to Mantir as the principal in
the murder. was at the farm until the
noon of the day on which the Mullins
woman disappeared. when, he said.
Delorey went to Boston.
Mantir said that he did not hear Of
the murder until the day after the
body was discovered and then only
when Mrs. Delorey read the account
from a newspaper. Mantir's testimony
in several ways contradcted that of
Mrs. Delorey Throughout the direct
examination. the young man appeared
very cool and readily answered ques-
tiOns of his counsel.
Mantr said that he was in Manches-
ter. NJ H.. on April q. 1909, year af-
ter the murder, when he received a
letter from a lawyer in Boston and on
reaching that city found himself under
arrest. He claimed that the officers did
not allow him to see lawyer and that
when Lieut.. Gordon, in the Cambridge
police station, read Delorey's alleged
confession he was told that if he did
not say yes to the statements il would
be the worse for him.
His sweater which the prosecution
claims he washed to remove blood
stains, was shaken in his face by the
officers. who asked him why he did not
wash out all the blood. Mantir de-
clared that he washed the sweater De-
cause he got it dirty at a fire and tltat
there was no blood on it, except Ill

Wilmington, Del, Nov. 11.-With a
deafening report and shock which

Jamaica Island
Still Shut Off.

New York, Nov. lit is apparent
from the reports received today by the
cable companies with connections In
the West Indies that all the submarine
lines throughout the islands, from
Jamaica on the west to Trinidad on the
east, have been rendered imperative
by some agency which up to the pres
ent time it has been impossible to de-
t2rmine.
The circumstances indicate an earth
quake on the floor of the ocean, but to
affect the cable lines throughout the
breadth of the Indies such disturb
it's extent and severity. No serious
earthquake has been reported from
any seismograph station nor have the
mcagre reports from the points on the
island of Jamaica, where the cables
touch, indicate an earthquake on that
island.
1t is possible, however. that some
electrical disturbance similar to the
aurora toreals will eventually account
for the trouble.
Jamaica has been visited by a severe
storm. with accompanying foods and
this is all that can be learned of the
situation on that island.
The only islands with which tele-
graphic communication can be had to-
day are cuba and Hayti and the shore
station at Jamaica, Holland Bay.
1t is equally impossible to reach the
eastern islands of the Indies by way
of Europe and Pernambuco. Brazil.

One Of First Things
Thought Of at Opening
Of Canadian Parliament Thurs
day al Ottawa, Ont.
Canadian Navy a Live Issue.'.0ther
Important Measures.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 1.-THE second
session of the 18th Parliament OF can
ada was opened today by Earl Grey.
The general interest which exists III
Canada in the new American tariff
was indicated by the fact that r. l..
Borden, leader of the Opposition, ask
ed if the government had any cores
pOndence bearing upon it. FINANCE
Minister Fielding said the government
had no correspondence on the matter
and held that it would be improper for
it to take any action until the United
States government had decided how
the Payne tariff would be applied
against Canada.
There was an unusually brilliant at
tendance Of society
The speech reaffirmed the position
taken by Sir Wilfrid Laurier's goVrn-
ment in the joint resolution of Parlia-
ment adopted last session regarding
naval defence, which simply enunclates
the necessity for Canada undertaking
share in the empires naval defence,
maintaining autonomous control of her
own navy, but working in harmony
with the imperial navy. No definite
point which is at present dividing the
whole dominion into two camps Wheth-
er Canada shall build her own navy
here or have it built at home or make
a cash contribution pending the estab-
lishment of a nucleus for Canadian
fleet.
Regarding tariff changes the speech
was equally non-committal.
Indications are that the naval policy
will be the principal subject of dis
cussion this session.
other important measures to be laid
before Parliament include bill to rat
fly the Franco-Canadian commercial
treaty, a bill respecting trade combi-
nations which unduly enhanced prices
and a bill to authorize the expansion
of the government railway, Inter-colo-
NAL, by acquiring branch lines.

alarm through megaphone.
Owners of river craft then engaged in
race for the desperate. The police,
however. in a motor boat distanced all
followers and in a short time had their
man at bay on an inland just south of
the big bridge connecting New Albany
with West Louisville. They covered MIN
with revolvers and the arrest was made
without a fight The prisoner was taken
on board the launch and after a 10min
ute run was at the dock in New Albany.
There the police found 200 men who
wanted to take the prisoner. Only by
strategy was the prisoners life saved, as
ii chorus of Hang him. lynch him, he
killed Fawcett." greeted the startled po-
lice, who were thus first made aware
of the prisoners deed. Captain Davis
of the New Albany police, in charge of
the capturing equad ordered the man to
lie down. The apparently PROSTATE form
of the prisoner was carried from the boat
and with a few minutes was lying in
the bottom of the patrol wagon.
The crowd, however, wanted to see the
prisoner and surged round the wagon.
With his foot on the captive's neck, Cap
tain Davis stood up in the wagon and
addressed the persons who were noisily
demanding vengeance. THE man is dead

nabbed him." said the willy police officer
And to the driver, go ahead"
The patrol wagon drew away from
the crowd but instead of going to the
morgue it sped to the New Albany
jail and this the crowd did not fail to
notice. They apparently OWNED that
the officers statement was ruse, for
in a few minutes the Jail was sur
rounded by mob of rapidly growing
proportions. Fully awake to the stua-
ton once more the police adopted n
move that probably saved the prison
er's life. An automobile was summon
ed by telephone and through a back
door, the captive. his name still un-
known, was rushed into the machine
and moment later was being whirl-
cd through the streets of New Albany
leaving the mob far in the rear.

Amelia st. Jean came to his Office how
he refused to give her surgical treat
ment, how she took matters into her
own hands, inflicting injuries which

bered the body and disposed of it. He
said that he worked for three hours
trying to revive her after she lost con-
sciousness He said that he had had
no anaesthetic in his Office at the time

quately account for the ST. Jean girls
death, which could be explained only
as due to natural causes. He said that

after she became unconscious accur-
ately described the appearance of a
person who had been stricken with a
sudden stoppage of heart action. He
