PINK OF PR0PR|ETY
WAS MRS. GOULD
ACCORDING TO HER TESTIMONY
OF YESTERDAY.
Dustin Farnum Denies by Deposition
That There Was Anything
Wrong.

New York, June 24.-Katherine
Clemmons Gould was called back tc
the stand for the final ordeal today
to explain away if possible the dam
aging testimony given by the wit
nesses for her husband in her suit
for separation and alimony of s250
600 a year.
Il was a day of denials, beginning
with the reading of the deposition
of Dustin Farnum, who denied all
the allegations of improper conduct
with Mrs Gould. and ending with
Mrs. Gould's denials of practically
everything in word or action attrib-
uted to her by witnesses for the
other side.
For two hours Mrs. Gould answered
the carefully framed questions of her
counsel, repudiating with a monoto-
nous denial all the testimony charg-
ing her with excessive drinking, pro-
family or other impropriety.
Chauffeurs, grooms. stablemen. shop
keepers, laborers and other servants
and employees were alike branded with
the short and ugly epithet. She never
drank to excess; never used profane
language, never forgot her dignity
as mistress of Castle Gould and never
overstepped the bounds of propriety,
according to her statements.

WAR SACKS OF TOBACCO
Mr.. Beveridge Believes
Should Be Abolished
Since War Is Over-Why
Bailey Was Against Free
Hides, Iron Ore, Lumber.

Washington, June 24.-The course
of that of yesterday, the entire day be-
ing given over to speeches. Mr.. Bev-
eridge talked for about four hours and
was followed by Mr.. Bailey who spoke
almost as long. Mr.. Newlands was the
last of the days orators. Mr.. Bever-
idge discussed the amendment propos-
ed by him regarding tobacco packages.
He contended that while the size of the
packages had been reduced during the
Spanish war to compel the purchaser
to pay the war tax, those sizes had not
been restored and the prices had not
been reduced.
Mr.. Bailey talked about free raw
material for the purpose of justifying
his vote against free iron ore, lumber
and hides. He declared that previous
TO the Cleveland administration the
established democratic policy was op-
posed TO free raw material
Mr.. Newlands considered the income
tax question devoting especial consid-
Grafton to the presidents recommend
alton for a corporation tax. He dis
cussed at length the legislation of 1898
providing for a tax upon the gross re-
ceipts of oil refiners on which the
Spreckels case was decided by the su-
preme court and which is relied upon
by the president as a precedent for
corporation tax. He pointed out the
law of 1898 applicable not to corpora
tions alone but to every person. firm.
company and corporation engaged in
the oil business. He suggested that a
tax applying only to corporations
might be unconstitutional.
A short time before adjournment at
Z o'clock tonight, the senate. returned
to tbe consideration of the tariff
schedules. after devoting the greater
part of the day to listening to prepar-
ed speeches. Amendments were adopt
ed increasing the duty shoes from
Is to 30 per cent ad valorem and in
creasing the duty on sole leather from
5 to 10 per cent advalorem. the lower
figure representing the house rate in
each case. An amendment increasing
the duty on collodion was adopted also.

THE CAPTURE EFFECTED:

st. Michaels, Nd, June 24.-John T.
Roberts, charged with having muir
dered Mrs. Edith May WoodiI of Los
Angeles was arrested here tonight
after an exciting all day search.
Practically the entire eastern shore
of Maryland joined in the hunt The
police say they have evidence con-
Meeting Roberts with the murder
Mrs. WoodiH's nude body, the
skull crushed in, the face disfigured,
was yesterday discovered by boys
VINO were grabbing in Back Creek
not far from the home of Mrs. Wood
MS foster father, Captain Charles H.
Thompson, a few miles from here
Roberts was with Mrs. Woodill when
she was last seen. He claimed to be
magazine writer and general corre-
spondent of newpapers. He is even
said to have declared that he returned
to this locality after a short absence
for the express purpose of writing up
the murder which he is now accused
of having committed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Woodill came here a
short time ago, the latter with the in
tention of passing the summer with
her foster father Her husband re-
manned only a few days, leaving it is
understood, for Detroit, whence he re-
turned to his home in Los Angeles.
From that time on Mrs. Woodill and
Roberts are said to have seen much
of each other.
Last Saturday Mrs WOodill went to
Easton to have some dental work
done and it had been arranged that
Roberts should meet her at Royal
Oak, and go home with her Roberts
drove to Royal Oak, met Mrs Wood
i'll and drove with her to the landing
where his launch was moored. They
entered the launch and Mrs. Woodill
was not seen again alive, so far as
has been learned. Since her disap-
pearance, Roberts went to Baltimore,
whence a letter was received by
Capt. Thompson, Ostensibly from Mrs.
Woodill, saying she was in the city
and would shortly return.
Roberts remained away from the
neighborhood until after the finding
of the body. He had previously en-
deavored to allay the growing uneasi-
ness of Capt. Thompson in connec-
NlOn VIII his lOSltI uduBtlltT dp-
sence and used the letter as evidence
in support of his contention that she
would return.
When the body was brought ashore
it was so swollen that Capt. Thomp-
son could not at first believe it was
the body of Mrs. Woodill Roberts
disappeared when he was suspected
of the murder.
Investigation indicates that when
Roberts and Mrs. WoOdill left here
they went in the launch to bunga-
low that is being built on Roberts
small farm, next to that of Capt.
Thompson, and in this bungalow the
murder was committed. A bloody
sheet and mattress and portions of
the woman's clothes partly burned
were discovered in the bungalow
These have been identified as belong
ing to Mrs. WoOdill.
Mrs. WOodill is said to have mar
ried a physician of New York pre-
vious to her marriage with Woodill
There is a mystery about her par
entage. Captain Thompson says she
is 22 years old and was obtained by
him when she was but two years old,
from the family of a poor street car
man in Minneapolis.
