DOWNS WILL KNOW
FATE BY TONIGHT
Final Arguments Are Made
and Case Goes to
the Jury.

BALTIMORE, June 1.-THE last day
Of the Downs triaI-a fateful day in the
career Of the young city stock clerk
opened at 10 o'clock this morning, with
every seat in the criminal court room
occupied.
Downs must have anticipated that he
would be more conspicuous today than
ever before. for he dressed for the oc-
casion. He looked like. he had de-
cided to accept his fate. be it for or
against him. .tsuntily. gamely, to the
last living up 10 his reputation as
sport. He was carefully dressed.
Among the crowd in the court room
were fifteen or twenty women.
Mrs. Downs. the good-looking young
wife of the prisoner, her pale face partly
concealed by a veil. sat well up toward
the front. where she could watch her
husband.
Mrs. Edgar Allen Poe was present 10
hear her husband make his argument
to the jury.
States Attorney Owens, in the open
ing statement, addressed himself to the
second count. asking that this count
that OF receiving stolen goods-be
quashed. This. ne said, was done to
simplify the case.
Argument Begun.
The total amount which came into the
office OF the city register on March
was ss,1347S. said Assistant States At
torney Stnchcomb After expenditures
as shown by Mr.. Newman. there was
left in cash s2O4s. This money, we have
shown. Downs counted and took out OF
the office We have shown that Mr..
Newman knew the amount. That is not
circumstantial evidence. It's proof posi-
tive.
The men who could have taken that
money are Newman, Gatchel, McShane,
Moore. and Roeder. They ali say they
did not take il. We have, then, another
method Of proof In addition TO the direct
evidence-eliminatio
Downs went to the bank with that
sees. Armiger sees a check for $4,000
drawn on the National Marine Bank.
This shows that Armiger talked with
Downs. sener's proof sheet proves that
the bank only got 81, ,92424. while Downs
was given $42,924-24 TO deposit.
Downs Handwriting.
"As to Downs handwriting, the State
has shown by every man in that office
acquainted with his writing, and by ex-
perts, that his hand and his only chang
ed those figures in the deposit books
and bank slips.
I'VE have shown Downs changed the
National Marine Bank book after March
j. when Mr.. Graham had entered
81 .924.24 on the book. He changed the
slips to agree with the changes In the
book.
City Solicitor Poe followed Stinch-
comb, and then Attorney Wolf for the
deferEe made his statement.

late yesterday afternoon very unexpect-
edly. Downs himself did not go on the
stand.
The lawyers arguments ended at 3
clock this afternoon, and the jury re-

Bailey and Cumrlins Com
promise Brings About
a Victory.
OPPONENTS ADMIT
DEFEAT is CERTAIN
Attempt Is Made TO Substitute Cor
poration Tax, But 1t is
Unsuccessful.
BY ]. C. wELLIvER.

The income tax viii be incorporated
in the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill.
The Aldrich opposition TO this meas
ure practically threw up the sponge to-
day
we arc defeated; we cannot muster
the votes either to send the income
tax proposition to the committee or to
defeat It on the floor" said one OF AID
rich's lieutenants. this afternoon.
Both sides have been canvssEsng
the Senate with great diligence for
the last forty-eight hours. Convinced
finally that they were defeated on the
direct proposition. the Aldrich forces
undertook to substitute the tax on cor
porations. They tried this out with
great energy for two days, I'd found
5i,at they could not bulge a vote from
the solid phalanx in favor of the in
come tax. The advocates OF theStax
have stayed solidly together ia opposition
10 referring the matter to a committee.
The real difficulty was to agree on some
plan of compromise between the Bailey
and the cummins propositions.
Both Make Concessions.
This has finally been achieved by dint
basis OF the bin which will be reported
will be the Bailey measure. Senator
Bailey has agreed to permit Senator
Cmnmins to substitute two sections far
the corresponding sections in the Bailey
draft.
Senator Bailey viii accept these su6-
stitutes, One Of them relates TO the
definition of an income. and the other to
the method Of relmbursing individuals
who. as stockholders Of corporations,
lose part Of that income by reason of
the corporation paying an income tax
The levy under the bill viii be 3 per
cent against the excess over 5000 IN
the incomes Of all individuals and cor
porations. but provision will be made
for reimbursing individuals whose ag-
gregate income does not exceed s.. 600 for
what they lose by reason of the tax be-
ing paid by corporations in which they
are shareholders.
Advocates Jubilant
The advocates OF the tax were iubi-
liant today. saying that in enforcing the
adoption of this measure they will have
won the first big victory of the session.
They say they have two majority In
favor of every proposition in the bill
as agreed upon, and the opposition TO
the measure now admits that this is
true.
The particular reason for the bitter
of the a dTich forces TO an
income tax pTovisioe : IN the Senate bill
is that II is perfectly well known that
once passed by the Senate, the measure
viii remain in the bin in the House. The
House Is Overwhelmingly in favor OF an
income tax, and there is no possibility
of its being shut out there.
The bill VIII not come up today, but
may come up tomorrow. The Senate.
however. Is not yet ready to discuss it,
and If It does come up tomorrow ii will
be put over until later in the session.

FRIEND Of MURDER
Policeman Finds New York
er's Head Under Arch of
Brooklyn Bridge.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The police
have made substantial progress toward
solving the mystery of the murder of
Samuel Bersin. painter. of 221 East
Ninety-eighth street, whose dismember-
ed and hesdless body was found in a
bundle at the corner of Oliver and
Henry streets last night.
The head was found today under an
arch OF the Brooklyn bridge, by police
man shortly after the body had been
identified by Bersin's brother and sister.
While a number OF arrests have been
made in the case. the police admit that
they do not believe they have the actual
murderer, and are working on the
theory that a woman was at the bot
tom of the affair. One hundred picked
detectives are working on the case to-
day, and Inspector McCanerty, who is
in 7rge. declared today that he ex-
poets to have the mystery solved before
night.
Laundry Ma Gives Clue.
The identification II the body was
mad by means of a laundry mark OH
the shirt. The murderer or murderers
had been In such hurry TO cut the
body up so that it could be disposed of
that they had failed r.. y saove any o.f
the clothing except the coat, and had
cut through the trousers in cutting the
legs from the body The iaunSrv mark
of the shirt was traced by the honicide
bureau TO the American Hand Laundry
on East Ninety-eighth street, and the
proprietor there recognized t as that
Of Samuel Bersin.
Bersin had lived on East Ninety
eighth street, with Solomon KornbIoorn,
while his brother and ster lived at $50
East 101st street They were inter
viewed by the police, and identified the
body by certain physical pecltlisrities.
and the Identification was N ade certain
when the head was later re -oVered.
According % his relatives Bersin US
ualy carried a considerable sum of
money and two diamond rings. heavy
gold chain, and a silver watch None
Of these things were found IN the cloth
ing.
4 Friend Suspected.
Joseph Totoro. the sixteen-year-old
boy who was given cents 20 watch the
bundles containing the disn1embered
body, has q ven the police description
OF the man who had them he was
about thirty-five years old. heavily
built. with a dark complexion, and
black mustache. and wore a light
brown suit Of clothes.
It Is minated by the police that the
description corresponds to a friend OF
the dead man. and a general alarm has
been sent out for this mans arrest. An
autopsy held today, revealed that Ber-
sin was killed by being stabbed several
times IN the chest and il was plain by
a number Of cuts on the right hand
and wrist that he had fought for his

"IN WYOMING" AT
OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT

At the opera house this evening
H. e. Pierce G. Co. will offer their
great, virile western play, "In Wyom-

Mack, and is one of the most am
bilious and pretentious this talented
actor-author has thus far attempt
For his characters Mr.. Mack has
gone to big cattle ranch near Cas-
per. Wyoming, and will give us a
glimpse of life among the cowpunch-
ers in the early sos.
There is always an indefinable
charm about the stories of the
frontier and Mr.. Mack has striven
to retain this western charm in the
characters in his successful play.
Among the characters in the play
may be mentioned Bob Ricketts,, a
typical young westerner, who makes
love to the pretty young easterner,
Jennie Summers; Dave Dalby; the
ranch owner; Hank Jones, the neigh
boring rancher who is a regular
"comic;" Steve Gordon, the leader
of a band of cattle thieves and d
vengeful but repentant wooer of the
charming Jennie Summers; Bossy,

Settle, the breezy young drummer,
who talks like a human phono-
graph, so fast, in fact, that one might
be led to suppose that his father
was an auctioneer; Mrs. Dalby, every
body's friend and mother. So it will
be seen that phases of life on the
open range form the basis of the
story but the hand of the author

1t is strong play with numerous
