BOY ON TRIAL AT FREDERICK
Fifteen Year-old Youth, Who Shot
and Killed His Stepfather.

FREDERICK, Md. October 1.-The
trial of Carroll E. Pearce. the hfteen-
year-old boy who on May IS last shot
and killed his stepfatter. Ezra Park VIII
lard, near Knoxville. this county. was be-
gun in the circuit court here yesterday
afternoon after considerable trouble in
securing jury.
States Attorney Willard, nephew OF
the man whom Pearce killed. told the
jury that the state expected to show that
the boy had. on occasions previous to the
one on which he shot Willard, threatened
to kill his stepfather.
The evening on which the shooting was
done. he said, Willard had sent the boy
into Knoxville 10 borrow a pillow and as
the boy did not return promptly went
after him. and finding him at magis-
trates office, where a hearing was in
progress, kicked him with the side of his
foot and then took him along home to
supper At the supper table the boy COM
planned to his mother Of the treatment by
his Stepfather and when the latter said
he would do 1t again the boy told him he
mad better not" and when Willard then
started toward the boy the latter sprang
to closet, from which he took a rifle,
and when Willard seized him the rifle
was discharged and Willard. who was hit
by the bullet, was killed.
Counsel for the defense told the jury
that 1t would be shown that Pearce was
a Woodworking boy, but that he had been
abused by his stepfather ever since the
!atters marriage to his mother. Willard,
he said. had an ungovernabe temper. He
did not seem to care much for the boy
and was accustomed to chaStise him Sc
verely for the most trivial offenses. On
the day Of the tragedy. he said. the boy
had been working hard all day, and when
he was sent for the pillow he had been
gone only about fifteen minutes when his
stepfather came after him and, finding
him in front of a magistrates office. kick
ed him.
When at the supper table the boy told
his mother how he had been treated his
stepfather said he would do il again and
started toward him in a threatening way.
The boy sprang to the closet and got the
rife to defend himself and when Willard
grabbed hold Of the rifle it was discharg-
ed in the scuffle. 1t would be shown, the
attorney said that the boy did not know
the rifle was loaded.

MISS MARY HARTMAN TO WE'D
DAUGHTER OF DECEASED RAIL
WAY MAGNATE ENGAGED.
Marriage to Walton Goelet Admitted
to Be Scheduled for an
Early Date.

NEW YORK. October 2.-Although an
engagement has not yet been formally
announced, no one in society will be at
all surprised II after a couple of months
Miss Mary Hartman, daughter of the
late railroad magnate, becomes the bride
Of Robert Walton Goelet.
It has been admitted by relatives Of
Miss Hartman and Of Mr.. Goelet that
had the financial wizard lived few
weeks longer there would have been an
at Arden. And now they say-since a
burial Of the master of Arden-that the
1t will be quiet one.
The original plans were that Miss Har-
rinlan should become Mrs. Goelet before
the snow whitened the forests of her
father great estate. That meant some
time during this month or early next
month. Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman and the
other children of the family were to have
gone to the town house and turned over
the Arden place to the bride and bride.
groom for their honeymoon.
That was one OF the reasons why
hundreds OF workmen were rushing to
while Mr.. Hartman lay dangerously ILL.,
1T was his wish that the wedding be
"on time as his railroad mind had it.
Engagement "sensed" by Society.
All society has known. or felt" rather.
that young Mr.. Goelet and Miss Hartman
were engaged for quite while. MIR.
Goelet has been constant In his devotion.
and he and Miss Mary have been very
much together for more than a year, both
here and abroad. Mr.. Goelet was with
Mr.. Hartman and his daughter when the
railroad king sought health by camping
for several weeks in Texas He lived
with them then. Only the hardheads OF
the business world misunderstood. They
thought that Bobby was being trained
up to succeed Mr.. Hartman.
This will be the second Hartman girl
who periodically united herself and her
fortune to a young American and his
fortune. Miss Marys sister Cornelia is
the wife Of Robert Livingston Gerry.
The Harrimans, though, were always
stanchly American and wonderfully sensi-
bic. Both girls have chosen wisely and
we'll. and no doubt Miss Carol. the third
and last daughter. will do exactly the
same when she Is a little older.

WILL SEE HALLEY'S COMET.
Visible to the Unaided Eye on May
10 Next.

BOSTON, October 2.-Only the most
powerful telescope is able to pick out the
HALEY comet, but the assurance comes
from Harvard observatory that the spec
tacle will be visible to the naked eye in
early spring. 1t will approach nearest
the earth May 10 next year, and on that
night the earth will be swept by star
dust 1t Is asserted that the display
will be similar to that Of June 80, 1881,
when the tail of the comet. then seen,
caused apprehension among the supersti-
tiouS.
The calculation Of Frank +. Seagrave
of Providence. that the comet will be
nearest the earth May ID, is confirmed
by the Rev George NJ. Searle of New
York, superior general Of the Paulist
Fathers. and widely known as an aStron-
omer. Father Searle bases his calcula-
ton on observations made at the Lick OBJ
servatory September II. L. and IA, and
on the elements given by Profs. Cowell
and Cromelin i'll March.
Mr.. Seagrave says that the earth and
the comet will meet in the same plane.
but not in the same path. He says that
the earth will not be endangered. as his
figures place the comets nearest APP
proach to the earth at 6,235, 600 miles.
