EVIDENCE FAYORS
NINE. STEINHEIL

Paris, November 1o.-The testimony to-
day in the trial of Madame Stenheil,
charged with the murder of her husband
and her stepmother, was distinctly favor
able to the defendant. Marietta Wolf,
the cook in the Steinheil household, and
her son, Alexander, whose appearance
was awaited with profound interest,
threw no new light on the mystery, but
by a further mass of contradictions
strengthened the impression in the ac-
cused woman's favor. Nine Steinheil's
nurse also retracted her previous deposi-
tion, in which she expressed the opinion
that the defendants illness after the
crime was simulated, and Maurice Bor-
derel, a wealthy merchant, whom the
state assumes Nine. Steinheil desired to
marry, testified to his absolute belief in
her innocence.
The states circumstantial case against
Nine. Steinheil seems to be rapidly break
ing down, and 1t is already rumored that
the trial may be abandoned and new in
vestigation ordered.
Anti-Dreyful papers, like the Libre Pa
role and the Patrie, have already begun
to revamp their previous insinuations that
the crime involved political plot for the
destruction OF ex-President Felix Faure,
which the anti-Dreyfusards have never
ceased to claim was due to foul play be-
cause, as they allege, Nj. ,Faure opposed
the revision of the Dreyfus case.
Louis Anthehne Gregor who shot
Major Dreyfus at the canonization of
Zola, In the pantheon in 1908, has written
an open letter to NJ DeValles, the presid-
ing judge, demanding that he be heard on
the subject of the death of the former
President, and the anti-Dreyfusards seek
to give color to their insinuations by en-
phasizing the veled threats which Nine.
Steinheil repeatedly made in open court
to reveal her relations with prominent
men in every walk of life is driven to
bay. Judge DeValles, however, evidently
assumes that former intrigues have no
bearing on the case. and twice has prac-
tically defied her to draw in whatever
scandal and names she pleased.
You may name whom you will" he
has said to her.

MAY MAKE COTTON
SEED OIL ANSWER

Washington November 10.--(Special)--
That cotton seed oil may entirely dis
place olive oil in the packing of sar-
dimes is the declaration made today by
John M. Carson. chief of the bureau of
manufactures The statement will be of
great interest to the south and cotton
seed oil producers, who within the last
few years have invested considerable
money in the business and bid fair to
reap big reward.
Some time ago Chief Carson appointed
j. l.. Brodie of Memphis as special agent
of the bureau, for the purpose of going
abroad and discussing the subject with
foreign tradesnen.
He reports to the department that six
of the leading firms in Norway have de-
cided to try cotton seed oil in the pack
Ing of sardines. One of these firms will
shortly ship to the United States 100000
cans of sardines in which cotton seed
oil will be used. The sardines will be
taken by grocers throughout the coun-
try and placed on sale.
The declaration is made that cotton
seed oil Is the equal of olive oil and that
sardines SO packed cannot be told from
the olive products. AS cotton seed oil
is considerably cheaper than olive oil
Major Carson believes as business
proposition there is no doubt that it Will
eventually go far toward dsplacing olive
oil in the sardine trade.
