Crowded With the Elect g.. ii

Paris, Nov. 6.-Mme. Steinheil. who
was led fainting from the court room
yesterday, was not called to the
stand when the trial was resumed to-
day, somewhat to the Disappointment
OF the spectators. Those who had
witnessed the dramatic situations OF
the past three days were prepared
for new thrills today. The court.
however. elected to continue the ex-
animation of the states witnesses
which was begun after the accused
woman had collapsed. The prosecu-
ton had announced that it would call
sixty-seven witnesses and three of
these were heard yesterday. The
opening examination today was along
the same lines. the police witnesses
being introduced to describe the an.i
pearance of the Steinheil home i'm
mediately after Adolphe Steinheil and
his mother-in-law. Nine Jopy, had
been murdered. The purpose of the
testimony was to show that there
was no evidence of a genuine char
acter to support the claim of the
widow that robbery was the motive
for the crime. AS upon the preced-
ing days, every one who had been
granted permission to hear the case
was on hand early. The intense in
terest of the public continued. the
sympathy for the prisoner having
failed to dull the edge of expectancy
latest sensation of the now famous
| trial.
The first witness called was Relny-
Coulllard, formerly servant in the
Ste1nheil household. but now in the
military service: He appeared in the
uniform of a dragon. 1t was 'Couil-
lard who discovered Nine. Steinheil
bound and gagged in her bed and at
the same time discovered the bodies
OF her husband and stepmother in the
adjoining rooms. In his examination
special emphasis was laid upon the
condition in which Nine. SteinheiI
was found and the way in which she
was bound and gagged.
Soon after the crime Coullard left
the service of Nine. Steinheil and on
November 21. 1908. was arrested on
suspicion Of having been implicated
in the murders. The pearl which
Nine. Steinheil had said was stolen
from the home at the time Of the mur-
ders. was found in his pocket but aft
er he had been held in Jail for sever
al days he was released on Nine.
Steinheils confession that she had
placed the jewel in the pocket She
said that she had become convinced
that the servant was guilty and be-
lieving that II he was arrested he
would confess and she had planned to
bring him into custody of the police.

Star Event by Society
Women

St. Louis, Nov. 6-Paul Reps. i'm
migrant laborer from Russia, was the
hero, guest of honor and patriot this
afternoon in ono Of the most unique
celebrations ever held in St. Louis.
The leaders in the celebration, were
women whose names come at tho top
of abe social register. whose homes
are the finest In st. Louis and whose
families are of the wealthiest in the
city.
Reps had challenged the patriotism
of the social leaders and the women
made him their hero for day. He
received his final naturalization pa
pers today. Two weeks ago he wrote
to Mrs. w. X. Kavanuagh, wife of the
president Of the Lakes to the Gulf
Deep Waterways association, inform
ing her that he would become citi-
zen November and asking her ,waleth-
er she could arrange with her friends
for celebration in his honor on that
day, the greatest day of his life.
Mrs. Kayanaugh, while astounded.
had the letter investigated. She was
told Reps was looking forward to
celebrating his citizenship. He had
spent $12 for court fees and was will
ing to expend 415 for a hall where
Mrs. Kavanaugh and ner friends could
meet him if they woIsd. come.
The use of the hall was donated to
Mrs. Kavanaugh rs was the pipe or
gan in it. Reps, an employe of the
Frisco road, Mrs Reps and their three
children were in the hall early this
afternoon. Among those who attend
ed the celebration besides Mrs Kava-
naugh we're Mrs. F.. H. Kreisnrann,
wife of the mayor of st. Louis, Mrs.
Edward L. Prestorious. wife of a news
paper publisher, and Mrs. Wallace c.
Capen.
While Reps was the guest Of honor.
he requested his hostesses to sing diff
ferent songs. america" and other
patriotic songs were rendered by a
chorus of the social leaders and these
were followed by bugle calls and
war songs.
In his letter to Mrs. Kavanaugh.
Reps wrote:
81 want to be good patriot. a good
citizen and this event in my life
want to remember and have as some
thing great. Old Russio for me is
dead. Is it possible for $40 or SIS
for us to hear in respectable man
ner and place to hear once singing
America Banner Of Country or
other American patriotic song and
even accompanied by fine music?'

Lacrosse. Wis. Nov. 6-Philip AL
len, Jr., vice president of the First
National bank of Mineral Point. Wis,
which failed a month ago because of
his alleged defalcation, was indicted
by the United States grand jury here
today on twenty-six counts including
almost every variety of violation OF
the banking laws known to the
comptroller's office. Immediately aft
er word was sent from the jury room
OF the indictment, which came at the
conclusion Of four days devoted ia
the case, Allen was arraigned before
United States District Judge Can
bourn. He pleaded not guilty and an
nounced through his attorney his in
tention OF standing trial. Trial waa
set for the December term. of the
court in Dane county. Bail was re-
duced from 100000 to $4,000. Allen
declared that he believed he would
be able to furnish the lesser amount.
Contrary to expectation Allen was not
taken before the grand jury on his
arrival here
The amount of the embezzlement
charged in the indictment aggregates
$4,000. The government officials,
however, say that this represented
only part of the defalcations which
are estimated between $500,0O0 and
$3.50. 600.
