Jean LefeVe'' ConfeSseS Double Murder (which
Nine. Steinhei| Is Accused, But Later Re-
tracts--She Sticks to Original Story Of
Crime and Asserts Her Innocence.

I'aris, Nov 4.-Dramatic situations
followed fast one upon another in the
assize court today, where the trial of
Nine. Marguerite Steinheil, accused of
HAVING murdered her husband and her
Stcpnother, Nine. Japy, was continued.
AS on the opening day of this sensa-
tinnal case, all Paris was wrought up
to high tension over the promised
disclosures, and although it was known
that but few could pass Witl,n the pre-
cincts of the court, hundreds remained
outside to watch and to discuss in ex-
cited tones the progress of the case as
it came to them through the neWSpa-

a GUIDE SHOT.
Fred Durgin of The Forks Mistaken
for Deer in the Woods.

Bingham, Ne, Nov 4.-John Durgin OF
The Forks. a guide, was shot in mistake
for a deer Wednesday afternoon near VIII
Forsyth's camp by another hunter.
Durgin was going through the woods
carving a canvas knapsack on his back.
In the dim light of the woods it looked
exactly like a deer The other hunter
thinking he was aiming at a deer, fired
The bullet enered Durgin's back just
above the hip, coming out the other side
of the spine.
DR.. Brown of Bingham was called by
phone and went at once by train to For
syth's. He found Durgin apparently com
Portable, though he regards the mans in
Jury as serious. Durgin was taken to a
Lewiston hospital Thursday morning, ac-
companied by the physician.
John Durgin is about IS years old and
has been married, his wife having died
several years ago. He has an aged moth
er and several brothers and sisters.
The physicians are hopeful Of his re-
covery.
Within the past few years four cousins
of Durgins, members of tour Durgin
families living near each other and rear
ed almost as one family, have met violent
deaths.

the first direct mention of the late
Felix Faure, President of France. Much
of the interest in the present case lies
in the friendship that is known to have
existed between Nine. Steinheil and
the late President of the Republic, and
several times the prisoner made vague
reference to "a nigh political person
age who had been my friend"
The direct reference to the President
was made today in connection with a
discussion of the incident of the dis
covery in the subway OF an invitation
to an exhibition at the Steinheil home,
with pieces OF visiting card of Nine.

whether it was at the home of Nine.

The judge did not pursue this line of
inquiry further. Owing to the many
trying ordeals of the day and the ia
tigue which the prisoner showed, her
lawyer asked for an early adjourn

the accusation against Frederick

State Department Refuses
To Enter Controversy
By Asking Danes to Allow
Examination Of Cooks Data.
Geographic Society Will Send a
Delegation to Copenhagen.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Refusing to be
drawn into the Cook Pearv North
pole controversy the state department,
today declined a request that it cable
American Minister Egan at Copenha-
gen, to ask Of the University Of Co
penhagen permission to examine the
records of DR.. Frederick a. Cook
when they are submitted to that in
stitution
The request was made by a delega-
ton from the National Geographic So
ciety. which will appoint a committee
to visit the foremost Danish scientific
institution. to which Dr. Cook is to
submit his records. This committee
will IN all probability consist of three
members. who have already been viz
tually selected but not yet finally APP
proved.
The desire to have the request for
permission to inspect the records go
through the official channels was made
ut a conference between Assistant
Secretary of state Huntington Wilson
and Messrs. Gannett. the government $
chief geographer. Edison, former presl-
dent of the Board of Trade of WASH
ington, GruSVener, editor of the oIli-
cia organ of the society, Gore and Col.
Vile, all prominent members or the
National Geographic Society, whose
membership stretches through every
state in the country.
The request was made on the ground
that the examination would be by sci
entists of attainments particularly val
liable for the adjustment of the polar
problem and representatives not only
OF the society but of the sciences gen
erally in the United States. Every eff
fort was made to surround the dele
cations visit with mystery. one of the
members even denying his identity
when approached by a newspaper re-
porter.
The department took the request un.
der advisement and later decided 1t
could not accede to it. 1t was felt that
such action would constitute the rec
ognition of Commander Peary as
against DR.. Cook. The department has
notified Sec. Grosvener of the society
of It's attitude.
The members of the committee VINO
will go to Copenhagen for the Geo
graphic Society will be provided with
the usual letters of Introduction from
the state department to the American
Diplomatic officers abroad, asking that

Crew and Passengers
Due TO Displaced Buoy and

St John. n. B., Nov. 4.-That the ne
elected condition of the buoy marking
Old Proprietor ledge at the entrance Of
the Bay of Fundy was responsible for
the wrecking OF the Donaldson Line
steamer Hestia and the consequent
, loss of 35 lives is the charge made by
Third Officer S. G. Stewart, the only
| surviving officer of the Hestia. Specif-
cally he charges that the Old Proprie-
tor ledge buoy has neither light nor
, fog signal, though it is listed as hav-
ing both. He states: 1T is known To-
caIly that the buoy has been in this
condition for months. The Hestia must
have passed with few feet of this
buoy and had it been lit or it's whistle
sounding the Hestia would have been
warned and easily cleared the lodges
upon which she was wrecked"
Officer Stewart also charges that the
keeper of Gannett rock light, near
which the Hestia was wrecked, admits
having seen the danger of the Hestia.

afraid of awakening the doctor in the
lighthouse. He also states that al
