GIRLS MURDERER
IS GIVEN HEARING
Slayer Cunningham's Attorneys
Evidently Will Urge Insan-
ity as Defense
Parents of Miss Brasch Are
Hurrying Home From Trip
to Europe

Numerous witnesses were called by
the prosecution during the preliminary
hearing of the case of James Edward
Cunningham, the murderer of Caroline
Brasch, in Police Judge Daniel C.
Deasy's court yesterday. The entire
session only served to bring out more
plainly the confession OF the murderer
TO reporters of The Call and to confirm
the rumor that the attorneys for the de-
fense will attempt to save their client
from hanging on a plea of temporary
insanity.
Miss A. Gusti Miss May Turnblad and
Harry N. Gray. all Of whom were pres
ent in the offices of Gray Brothers. in
the Wells Fargo building June 80 when
Miss Brasch was sacrificed to the greed
which inspired the infamous pay check
system in vogue, were called to sub
stantiate the fact of death. Assistant
District Attorney Ben Bloch and Special
Prosecutor James C. Sims then took up
the details of Cunningham's confession
to The Call and subsequently to the po-
lice.
CARBOHYDRATES CALL STORY
A reporter of The Call was summoned
to corroborate the testimony already
offered regarding the confession of the
murderer. after which Policeman Will
liam p. Savage was placed on the stand.
He related the circumstances incidental
| to his receiving the prisoner on the
morning of July / and conveying him to
police headquarters.
Lieutenant Patrick Shea of the cen
trail police station was called, and in
spite of repeated objections on the part
of attorneys appearing for the defense
related how the prisoner had made to
him exactly the same confession which
he had originally made in The Call of
fee.
j. Goldstone identified Cunningham
as the man to whom he sold the re-
volver on the morning of June 80, and
Detective Arthur B. McQuaide COM
pleted the preliminary case of the state
by recital of the incidents which oc-
Cured subsequent to Cunningham s con-
fession.
TEMPORARY INSANITY
Police court attorneys who volun-
teered their services in the interests of
the notorious murderer attempted
throughout the session to bring out ad-
missions which would tend to prove
temporary insanity and concluded with
an attempt to prove that the defendant
had been forced to make his confession.
At the request of the defense the
court continued the case until Saturday
morning
1t was learned at the conclusion of
the hearing that Mr.. and Mrs. o. w.
Brasch, parents of the murdered girl.
who were travelling in Europe when
their daughter was assassinated. will
arrive in the city tomorrow morning
The aged couple left San Francisco
May 10 for tour of the continent and
were notified of the tragic death of
their child by cablegram from their
son at Hamburg, Germany, on July ,

dlately changed their plans and started

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS REcITES
POETRY.
Witty Mississippian Consulses The
House With His Humor.

The House was plugging along with
the sundry civil appropriation bill in
a dry and rather contentious manner
Thursday of last week when Mr.. Viii
Iiams arose for the purpose of call
ing attention to the fact that only
one more week of Roosevelt re-
mained.
"I move to strike out the last
word of the amendment" said Mr..
Williams, this being purely pro forma
action for the purpose of securing
the right to address the House.
Il ask the attention of the COM
mittee," Mr. Williams then said, "in
order that | may read, as pertinent
to the motion, a little production of
verse which / hold in my hand. 1t
comes from the Baltimore Sun and
is entitled Only One More. -
This was all that Mr.. Williams
said and he Immediately began the
reading of the verses with eloquent
effect During the reading the House
chuckled again and again, in a way
which indicated that not only the
poem but its lesson were received
with the greatest relish. When Mr..
Williams had finished the whole
House burst into laughter. The Re-
publican side of the chamber appear
ed to extract as much enjoyment out
of the verses as did the Democrats.
The poem which Mr. Williams read
and which now becomes a part of the
official record of the House of Rep
resentatives, is as follows:
"ONLY ONE MORE"
Hang the Big Stick in the closet,
Put the megaphone away;
TWiue the AnaniaS members
With the Olive and the bay;
Over ali the happy country
SWellS :he tide of coming rest;
Lee the weary cease from troubling
North, South, East and West.
Be the strenuous life forgotten,
Bli3t' rims eEitEets put by;
Tea1' 'mendGc:ors' from the language
Let no varlet whisper lie.
Pack My policies for shipment,
Take a long breath once again,
While the land gets back its reason
And the wild bear seek It's den
Take vacation, tired typewriters!
Special messages no more
Burn the air along the highway
Ere they reach the Senate door;
Put the horses in the stable,
Peace is dawning, sweet and grand; ;
Only one more week Of Teddy
Hail Columbia, happy land!
baltimore Sun, Feb 27th
