SERVANT IN sTEINHEIL HOME TELLS STORY OF INCIDENTS
 TO DOUBLE MURDER.
Mime. stelnheiI Feigncd Serious III. ness, But Responded Promptly When Telephone Bell
 Rang in House.

Paris, Nov. 6.-The first witness called in the trial of Madame Stein heil today was Kenny Couillard, for merly servant in the Steinheil house. sold, but who is now in the military service. He appeared in the uniform of a dragoon It was he who discov- cred Madame Steinheil bound and gag ged in her bed and the bodies of her husband and stepmother in adjoining rooms.
 He recounted today the story he had told the police but nothing new was developed.
 In his examination special emphasis was laid upon the condition in which Mme. Steinheil was found and the way in which she was bound and gag ged Soon after the crime Couillard the service of Mime. 5teinhel and on November 21 1908, he was arrested upon suspicion of having been impli- cated in the murders
 A pearl which Mime. Steheil had claimed was stolen from the home at the time of the murders had been found in his pocket. but after he had heen held in jail for several days l1e was released upon Mime. Steinheil's confession that she had placed the fnkua1 l.. h fu .,onirof Coulllards testimony was damaging to the defendant. He insisted that when he found Mme. Steinheil she told him only of burglary, making no mention of her husband and step mother, who lay dead in their rooms.
 He said the gag was not in her mouth. but in the pillow upon which Mime. Stelnhel's head rested. Her hands were tied in front of her. and not behind her back, as she had testi- fled on the witness staid, and both the ropes about her writ and ankles were loosely bound
 Moreover the witness said that af- ter the police arrived and the woman had told the mthe story of the mur- des the telephone bell rang. where upon Mme. Steinheil who had been feigning Illness and pain. ordered him from the room and, springing from her bed, answered the telephone. Dur ing this testimony the prisoner inter- rupted repeatedly, denying most of Couillard's statements as fast as he made them.
 The questions of Judge Deyalles emphasized the importance to the state of Couillard's testimony. The questioning brought out the state- ment that the alleged murderess had ordered that their watchdog be re. moved from the house on the night preceding the murders. She explain ed her desire to got rid of the animal, the witness said. on the ground that it was i'll smelling and also some times damaged the pictures in her husbands studio.

foe to punish. The contestants all look alike to him and the one who turns in the greatest volume of bus hess, secures the greatest number of votes, will nose assuredly be the one in each district who will receive the decision of the judges, and the one of the fortunate two who re- ceives the highest number of votes in the entire contest will name the chaperon.
 The fact that the final count of the votes will be made by a committee of Hot Springs business and professional men, shows that the contest must be fair and above board and that there can be no skulduggery or favoritism shown. Each candidate has the as surance that each and every one Will be accorded the same fair consider ation and this has caused the first period of the contest to develop un. usual interest

Rivalry Getting Decidedly Warmer In

The Sentinel-Record's mammoth Tour-ofEurppe voting contest Is rap. idly assuming the proportions oi a presidential campaign and in scores of homes in this city and this section of Arkansas is of -ar more import. ance and attracts more attention. Last Saturday marked the close of the first week of the contest and the yot. ing was fast and furious, almost 50,- 900 votes being cast. These were dis tributed among all the candidates in the list, though some of them received vastly more than did their competi. tors

Cast Your Coupons.

The contest rules forbid the count ing of more than 100 coupons (1,000 yotes) for any candidate in one day. Hundreds of persons are saving these coupons for the various candidates in- stead of casting them each day as they should, and Monday all these people will be dumping in these cou. pons for the young ladies and more than 30 per cent of them will be lost On account of the rule referred to above. If you desire to assist your favorite candidate, send those coupons to this office at once instead of hold ing them back and complaining of the Contest Manager because he does not count them, as after tomorrow they will be worthless.
