FRISBY FORGERY TRIAL BEGUN
NOVEL POINT SCORED BY AT
ToRNEY FOR DEFENSE.
Agreement in Alleged Sale Barred
From Evidence Under Section of
Revised Statutes.

Perry W. Frisby. colored, a member of
the bar of the local courts was today
placed on trial in Criminal Court No. /
before Justice Gould and jury, charged
with forging the name of Alice U. Car
roll, an elderly colored woman, to an
agreement for the sale of tract of land
situated in the northeast section of this
city.
Attorney Henry r. Davis scored a
point against tire prosecution when he
succeeded in having Justice Gould eS-
clude from the consideration of the jury
the agreement of sale on the ground that
the document had been filed in obedience
to judicial proceeding to cancel the
agreement. Mr.. Davis contended that
the introduction of Il pleading SO obtain
ed in evidence in Il criminal case was
prohibited by a section of the revised
statutes of the United States. 1t is
said in legal circles that this question
has never before been raised in the
criminal courts of this country.
Justice Gould refused TO admit the
agreement as a pleading. but permitted
Assistant District Attorney Turner to
prove that the alleged signature had been
exhibited TO several persons before the
agreement was filed. Mrs. Carroll was also
allowed to state that she had not signed
the paper.

At Variance Over Reconsidering Dis
crepancies in Naval Regulations.

1t was admitted today that the special
board appointed by Secretary Meyer to
reconcile certain discrepancies In the
naval regulations respecting consolida-
ton of the work at navy yards and
the duties of the various bureaus of the
Navy Department did not unanimously
agree regarding changes in the regula-
tions. and that its members submitted
two reports to the Secretary.
Mr. Meyer has taken no action yet on
the reports, because he has not fully
disested the recommendations made In
the reports of the board. He stated this
morning that he had read the minority
report, but had not fully completed read
ing all the papers submitted to him. He
declared he would make no comment on
the reports until he had fully digested
them, and, of course. will take no action
until after careful consideration of both
reports. He intends to confer with va
rious members of the board to further
ascertain their views.
The board on regulations. OF which
Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry was
chairman, completed its deliberations
last Saturday and submitted its reports
to the Secretary at Annapolis, where he
was visiting that day. During the trip
of the Secretary to Norfolk and return
Sunday and Monday Mr. Meyer spent

JOLT FOR BoYLE's STORY.
Youngstown Man Discounts Kidnap-
er's Tale of Reeble's Death.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio. May 11-James
Boyle's story of the death of Daniel Rec
BILE jr. which occurred here fourteen
years ago. received a severe jolt today
when George Batteiger, who was near
the scene of the accident when Reeble
met met his death, related his version of
the. case.
Batteiger says he was standing in front
of a restaurant a short distance from the
spot where Reeble's body was found when
Reeble fell. He heard the thud which
followed the striking of the body on the
sidewalk and had started an investigation
as TO the cause of the noise when he was
met by Michael Donnelly, a patrolman,
who had also heard the body alight The
two men walked to the scene of tne acci-
dent and picked up Reeb!e, who was un-
conscious and at the point of death.
Batteiger saw no one in the vicinity in
which the accident took place until joined
by DonneIly. Until Batteiger told his
story Donnelly had forgotten Battelger' S
presence when the body was found. He
soon recalled Batteiger helping him pick
lp the body, however, and cOrroborated
his story in every particular.
Donnelly had been in the vicinity of the
accident throughout the evening and ne
does not believe that either Dan Shay or
James Boyle was on his beat throughout
the night. He knew them both we'll

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PROVIDENCE, r. L.. May u.-Miss
Laura Register. twenty-five years old.
was found murdered in the Jewish ceme-
terry off Reservoir avenue. in the western
suburbs Of this city. at o'clock this
morning. The discovery of the crime was
made by a man who was taking short
cut from Arlington village to the Sher-
wood section of the city. He saw in
clump of bushes what he thought was
woman who might be sleeping of the ct
fects Of a debauch. but on closer exami-
nation he found that the woman had been
murdered and that she had made des-
perate struggle to escape her assailant.
Defended Her Honor.
The police were notified and half An
hour later identified the body as that OF
Laura Register. daughter OF Charles w.
Register of Is Pleasant avenue, Arlington.
Broken bushes and deep marks of foot
prints in the sod told that the unfortu-
nate woman had fought hard for her
honor. Big cuts on her head and welts on
the face disclosed that she had finally
been overpowered by the use OF a blud-
geon. The motive Of the attack was Grim
inal assault.
Thus far the police have obtained no
clue to the assailant. but they have
established the fact that the victim left
home early last evening to come to the
city. She chose the short cut, which
would take her through the rear of the
Jewish cemetery to Reservoir avenue.
This highway is the main road out OF
Providence to Cranston and is a favorite
route of tramps 1t is sparseiy built upon
outside of tire city limits and is skirted
with woody patches. 1t is presumed that
Miss Register was attacked by tramp.
Battered and Beaten.
The latest investigation discloses that
Miss Register left home at 7:30 o'clock
last night to go to a dressmaker's on
Potters avenue. Her intention was to get
car at the city line. About hundred
yards from where the car starts is the
gateway to the Jewish cemetery. II was
while she was passing this gate that sne
was accosted and the struggle began AT
the gateway her back comb dropped ana
from there until she had been dragged
about seventy-five feet her assailant tore
off most of her clothing. As she was
under small tree she was choked,
beaten about the face and head until un-
conscious. and was then dragged to
small ravine.
Left Handkerchief Behind.
The murderer then leaped over small
fence to escape through the cemetery.
leaving a blood-stained handkerchief.
which may prove an important clue.
The visit to the dressmaker's was In
connection with Miss Registers approach
ing marriage to Charles Douglas. which
was to have taken place in a month. She
had been married once before and di-
yOrced.
