NINE. S7ElNHEIL
IS OVERCOME
UNABLE TO WITHSTAND RELENT-
LESS CROSS QUESTIONING
OF COUNSEL.
Admits he Accusations Against
American Newspaper Men Were
Made In Wild Endeavor to Clear
Her Own Skirts of Murder Charge
-coIIapses In Court.
(By Associated Press.l

Paris, Nov. 5.-After having with
stood for nearly three days the mer-
ciless examination at the hands of
the presiding judge of the court of
the Assizes, where she is being tried
on the charge of numbering her hus-
band and her step-mother, the iron
nerves of Nine. Marguerite Steinheil
gave way late this afternoon and she
was led from the witness stand and
out of the court room in state of
utter collapse.
Several times before the climax
came restoratives were administered
when it seemed as though Nine.
Steinheil was about to faint, and each
time she had recovered quickly and
replied to interrogations of the pre-
siding Judge, M. De Wales.
When today's session of court be-
gan, M. De Wales was fearful lest
the strain which Nine. Steinhei1 had
been put for two days was proving
too much for her, but his solicitude
for her evoked from Nine. Steinheil
the unhesitating statement that she
was not at all fatigued. M. De Wales
thereupon led her through a laDy-
rinth of questions surrounding the
case with his wonted relentlessness
and Nine. Steinheil, with her ever
ready wit, answered them quickly
and to the point or, when they SEEM
ed unduly compromising, pleaded for
justice and not vindictiveness. -.
Once she made a plea direct to the
jury that they believe her innocent,
declaring that in the hour Of her ad-
versity erst-while friends who had
partaken of her hospitality had utter
~ forsaken her.
AS to her accusations against Bur-
lingham, American newspaper man
and others, whom she had charged
with completely in the crime, Nine.
Steinheil said that in her frenzy she
had taken recourse in anything that
seemed to give promise OF clearing
herself of the charge. =. -.>.. .:..

Washington, DC, Nov. 5.-Speaker
Cannon will find when he attempts to
push matters against Representative
Parsons of New York, for charging
him with entering into bargain with
Tammany, that Mr.. Parsons influence
as party leader has vastly Increased
during the recess. -
Politicians here read the returns
from New York City to mean that
Mr.. Parsons, as chairman of the re-
publican New York county committee,
has scored great victory. While he
did not succeed in slecting his party's
candidate for mayor, he struck Tam
many terrific blow in depriving it
of the control Of. the board o festi-

PARSONS SUCCESS IN Recent
ELECTIONS MAY Change FIGHT

Should the speaker make good the
reports coming from Danville, he
may, through an investigation by the
house, secure whitewash because
such an investigation would be
equivalent to an investigation of him
self by himself.
Mr.. Parsons success in the elec-
tions just held advances him mater
tally in the councils of his party and
will go a long way in the direction
OF making him an influence in New
York state politics. He has his eyes
upon the New York senatorship, it
is whispered, and a coalition between
the forces of Gov. Hughes and Mr..
Parsons may be sufficient to overcome
the republican upstate leaders with
whom both have had to fight.

It is not generally known that the
khedive of Egypt is a poet Of no mean
order--in Arabic, Of course. Those
who have read his verses speak OF
them with enthusiasm. Abbas Hilmi's
poetry is melodious. lofty in theme
and full Of allegory, as are. most Ara
bian poems. In the course Of former
visit to England the khedive sent the
late Queen Victoria a magnificent
bouquet with one of his poems. Here
is a rough paraphrase of one OF the
verses: Il send you this bouquet as a
testimony Of the love Of the Egyptian
people. Each rose, each lily, each
jamine, represents the heart Of an
Egyptian, and its perfume for thee,

Shot at the Policeman.

Night Policeman Draper had
an experienceIwith stranger last
Friday night about midnight
which might have proven serious
for him or the stranger. Early
in the evening he received tele-
phone from Ravenna describing ,
a man and requesting him to ar
rest such aperson. A short time
after receipt of the message he
went into Waits pool room and
saw man who answered the
description. The man noticed
the shield on Elmer's coat when
he entered the room and inquir-
ed of bystander if he was the
"bull?" Upon being informed
that it was he moved toward
the door and stepped out into
the night. Elmer followed and
called for him to halt but the
fellow fired shot and started
to run. Elmer unlimbered his
trusty gun in short meter and
threw a couple of shots in the
direction which he thought the
fellow was goiug and followed
him, firing another shot when
down near the b. & M. yards bu
could not overtake him. Later
he went to a hotel where he
learned the fellew had stopped he
evening before aud took possess
ion of fur coat and saddle
which the stranger had left there
and which is being held for the
owner. Monday it was learned
that stranger answering the
description of the man stopped
at Koozer's northeast of town
and said he had ran away from
home and was keeping away from
railroad and telephone lines that
he might not be fonnd aud taken
back. AS the matter now stands
Elmer is ahead a fur coat and
the stranger is ahead of the of
ficers, whatever his crime might
be.
