MRS.LEWISDEF
 HUSBANDS SLAYER
Tells of Awful Life She Led After Lewis Took to His Homo Wife of the Man Who Slew
 Him.

Pine Bluff, Aug. 26. Sensa- sional testimony was given at Sheridan today in the trial of Ed. Williams for the murder of T. N. Lewis, a prominent farmer, when the wife of the dead man, as a witness for the defense, told of Ter unhappy married life and Wil- lsams told of his. Lewis son also testified for the defense.
 When Mrs. Lewis, the wife of the slain man, took the stand. all eyes were upon her. She told her story slowly. being urged ou by the attorneys for Williams be- carse of the tinldisy she dis played In reviewing the awful de- tails proceeding to tragedy. She said up to IS months sgo she and her husband had lived happily to- gether. They had lived happily Tor nearly 20 years and two chil- s.ren, Wyiie Lewis. now IF, and another son, now 12, were born to them. The domestic troubles tegan when a little more than year ago Williams and his pretty young wife moved to thelr local- fly from Illinois. Her husband was attracted by the young woman at once and their relations soon became intimate. In Feb iuary Mrs. Williams came to their home with her smallest cAild and took up her residence there. After making every effort to induce him to send Mrs. Will. Hams away, Mrs. Lewis says she took her two sons and went 10 her parents at Eastwood.
 Lead Mans Son ID Slayer's Defense.
 Wylie Lewis, the l7-year-old son of Williams victim, also tes- tilted for the defense. He tolS almost the same story as did his mother of his fathers neglect and of the intimacy with Mrs Wil- Hams.
 Williams told his story with tears in his eyes. He almost broke down several times while relating the repeated insults 10 which he had been subjected. He said when lie discovered the inti- macy of Lewis and his wife he ordered Lewis to stay away from his home. Lewis told him he was 2l, III free country, a privi- lged character, aud that he would come and go when he felt 50 disposed.
 !.s he climax came, Villa aas lid, when on the night before tne tragedy he and bis two little girls were ill at home. His 12- ysar-old daughter came to his b dside and sobbiugly asked hin why he permitted "Mama to stay with Mir. Lcwis7"
 "When she was with ns," the Il tie girl said. tive had some one ,o wait on us" Williams said he rogid stand il no longer. He left hss sick bed, went to Lewis place aud hid there, expecting, he said, to see his wife and urge her for the last time to return home. He remained there several hours, finally returning home. The next morning he went there again with his shotgun in hand. He Ath hihioGtt III tHc uuSHeSs uOl washing to meet Lewis, and wait ed for his wife. Late in the afternoon bis wife and Lewis ap- peared in the field. He accident. ally stepped on limb while in the bushes atsd Lewis turned and caught sight of him. Williams says Lewis reached for his reyol- yer and he empted his shotgun .>at him, killing Lewis instantly.

Steel Slave Strikers Learn from Trusts
Guns and Clubs the Lesson of Organization
By J. v. Knight.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July az
Labor has learned its lesson from
the great strike of foreigners who
worked like serfs at the Pressed
Steel car WORKS in McKees Rocks
until blood and bone conld stand
1t no longer.
It Is one that always has to be
learned where the old choice of
work or death is presented to a
man with family.
The lesson Is called "Organiza-
ton" There were 5000 men on
strike at the grimy steel mills.
Thos 5 1000 men toiled to keep the
car works, which, of course, is a
branch steel trust, paying fat div
fdends to fat directors. Scarcely
so men in the mills gave orders.
The other 400 understood only
to obey, no matter what it meant
TO them and their tired wives and
sick babies.
Then something snapped. These
5000 men swept through McKees
Rocks and would have demolished
the big car mills If they had not
been stopped. In short order they
were practically harmless under
the rifles of the states guards.
They seized the only weapon they
knew violence, poor weapon.
They would have told their
bosses they had no right to work
them like slaves, and hight have
had chance to win recognition,
II tey had been organized,

Then Hoffstot thought Of good

these men and break the hearts Of
their wives that night. After dusk
a train load Of coal was switched

from the six huge stacks sent a

IN RIOT USE
BABIES FOR CLUBS

NEW YORK, July 22.--Desper-
ately resisting the squad of po-
lice detailed to place them aboard
the steamer Verdi, on which they
are to be deported, twenty-four
Gipsies today created riot in the
streets of Brooklyn.
Though the men of the party
were supplied plentifully with
money, the authorities passed
judgment that they are non-pro-
ducers, and decreed that they be
returned to Buenos Ayres on the
Verdi, which sails tonight.
The fight was renewed when
the party was placed aboard q tug
to be transferred to the waiting
steamer. The Gipsies seized ba-
bies from the arms of their wom-
en-, and using them as shields or
clubs, tried to drive back the Of
ficers and take possession of the
tug.
The officers we're compelled to
draw their clubs, and many of
the frenzied foreigners were beat
en- into incensibility. The injured
were cared for by the surgeon of
the Verdi.
