ACTOR JoRDAN's APPEAL.
Hearing for New Trial Based on
Insanity Of Juror.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, September 25.-
Before Judges Stevens and Bell the hear
ing. for a new trial of Chester s. Jordan.
the actor who killed his wife, was opened
this morning at the East Cambridge
courthouse. From the very start 1t was
evident that the defendants lawyers were
going to base their entire case on the in
sanity of Willis A. White of Maynard,
who was one of the jurors DR.. Horatio
N. Quinby superintendent Of the Bloom
ingdale Insane oHspital at Worcester. DR..
George F. Jelly and DR.. Frank U. Rich
were present, all of whom were to testify
as to the mental condition of the juror.
All the forenoon session was taken up
with the testimony of number of men
who had known White fairly we'll for
quite a number of years, and according
to their testimony he was a very eccen-
tric man. Letters which he wrote while
in Cambridge were produced and read.
When he went back to Maynard. ac-
cording to the statements Of witnesses
White said that he was drugged during
the trial so that he would give the same
opinion as the rest of the jurors, and that
he stopped eating the food given him. On
his return he said frequently that Jordan
was innocent.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, September 25.-The cut

for in the petition of the Motor Cups
Company to the Nassau county supervis-
ors for the use of highways involved. is
most welcome to followers of the automo-
bile racing game. The fact that the re-

be staged October 80, will be run over a
circuit almost. half the distance of last

was possible on the longer track.
After a motor car race contest has been
under way for an hour Or so cars are
bound to drop out Something is almost
certain to happen that will greatly reduce
the field. Engines break down under the
terrific mechanical strain, a tire blow
out may cause disastrous skid, parts of
the machinery may give out-there are a
hundred things conspiring to take ma
chimes out of the race. On the long cir
cults. when the finish hour draws near, it
is often ten minutes before a car will APP
pear. Consequently interest in the race
is bound to lag.
But such promises not to be the case in

the cars will pass the stands almost as

The new course will run down the old
country road to the cutoff leading across
to the motor parkway at Meadow Brook
Lodge. Thence it leads up the motor

the Massapequa Lodge. There a turn will
be made, the course completing the quad
rilateral by going back to the old country
road.
The Vanderbilt cup race has been set
for twenty-five laps of the circuit. This
will make the distance 27S.OS miles. The
other two events which will be held Oc-
tober 80 in conjunction with the Wander
bilt will very probably be designated as
the Wheatly Hills and the Massapequa.
The former race will call for fifteen cir
cults of the raceway. This will make

they made faster time on the country

The reason Miss Vera Blanche Parham
the pretty nineteen-year-old daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L. Parham of this
city. will not marry Louis Edward
Kupfer of Washington D. c., October 4,
is because she eloped last night with S.
Donald Williams. a young lawyer Of
Tampa, Fla, and was married this
morning at Morristown, forty miles east
of here Miss Parham came home last
spring from Washington. where she
graduated from a fashionable boarding
school. While there she met Kupfer,
who is connected with the office of j. J..
Hooper. claim agent Of the. Southern
railway.
A week ago one thousand cards were
issued announcing the marriage Of the
popular Knoxville girl October 4, and
her parents were preparing to make the
marriage the social event Of the incom-
ing season. Her wedding trousseau was
to be the finest any Knoxville girl has
had in many years. She spent most of
the time with the dressmakers until S.

visit.
