Explorer Says He Left Proofs of His Mountain Trip
 on the Summit
ALWAYS ON FRIENDLY
 TERMS WITH BARRILL
pr. Cook Declares That Accusations in Earrill Affidavit Are Untrue and Charges That Money Is
 Back of Statement.

Atlantic City, \. J., October l4.-Ex- pressing astonishment at the statement of Edward Barrill, Dr. Cook today main tained that he had ascended to the sum init of Mount Mckinley. and said further that if an expedition will follow the route he took they will find the records depos- ited by him at the summit of the mount. Referring 10 Barrilrs sworn statement. Dr Cook said to representative of the Assocla ed Press:
 T cannot really understand why Bar Till should have made such statement as the newspapers reproduce. if he was acting under normal conditions. l must say il surprises me. We were always on the most friendly terms. Until I know Of the conditions under which this alleged affidavit was made I will make no specific reply 10 it. My account of the trip has been published. For the present 1t is the bald statement of one man against all- other.
 If another expedition of experienced men will follow the route that l took and will go to the top of Mount Mckinley they will find there the records which 1 deposited or attaining the summit Of the mountain in the manner described in my book, To the Top of the Continent
 T have always had the most complete confidence in Barrill and cannot com prehend why he should have sworn to such a story. The fact that General Hub. bard Is proprietor of the Globe throws \ light on the affair which was not pre- vlously apparent I shall see sBarrill, 1 hope, when I reach New York. but 1 de not know when or where. Tt aprears 10 me that there was money hehinA his fialement He was, perhaps ! annoyed tllat he had not been paid hls | wages. but that was not ray fault, and | 1 renieded the matter as soon as 1 got | back from the pole"
 Will you say that the accusations con tained in the Barrill affidavit are posf- lively untrue ?'' was the question put te Dr. Cook by a large body of newspaper men late tonigtt sThe reply was.
 Decidedly yes.

 The greatest interest was centered in Gaynor's appearance in the expectation that he would answer in detail the charges that have been made against him, the most serious of which is the fnsnuation that he favored the race track element and attempted to frustrate the enforce

The tragedy occurred at the family home, Open View farm, in Gaston county, and was witnessed by the wife and mother.
 Abernethy entered his sons room this morning. precipitated a quarrel over a trivial matter, and drawing a pistol. fired three shots at the boy, neither taking eff feet. The son grappled with him, and in the fierce hand-to-hand struggle that en- sued the pistol was discharged twice, both shots taking vital effect in the fath- CTS body. The coroner exonerates the son.
 There had been bad feeling between the two because of the fathers treatment of his wife, which the boy resented

 First of all she saw much fighting in the far away country from Whlcn he came His native land was prepa:- ing, she said, for a great struggle. It was building ships of war pr. W'l would be vitally interested in this terrible conflict and would hold an of fee of great importance.
 Shortly after this the medium said a spirit came to her. a spirit friend of the minister who was not one of his own country, but was an American. This spirit gave to the medium me name of William and finally, after some hesitation she uttered the last name as "McKinley."
 The "contror' remarked that spirit had left this earth eight years ago. As suning a dignifed attitude the medium bowed respectfully to pr. Wu and in the deep clear masculine voice said "IIow are you, my friend? l am Will liam Mckinley, former President of tne United States I have just heard what the little Indian girl predicted to you about great war for China. l sin cerely hope that no such war will ever take place. I am for peace, and l know you also are for peace, are you not?"
 Yes" said the Chinese statesman, T am for peace always.
 q am sure you will do all you can to prevent this great war my brother, and I, too, will continue to work Tor peace" said the medium Thus ended the communication.
 Dr. Wu apparently was too astound- ed at what he heard to assume his chara cteristic role of rapid fire inter- rogator, for he failed to question the spirit of the former President. He showed every evidence of being pro foundly impressed.
 From his attache he obtained one of his cards which he held in his hands for some minutes while the medium went to other persons in the room and gave spirit messages. Then the minister procured piece of paper and pro ceeded to write a note, apparently something he wished to be given to the medium. It's purport was not divulged Before the medium had come out of her trance Dr. Wu and Wu Chang de- parted.

MURDER MYSTERY STILL
 CONFUSES THE POLICE

Hope Bay as being that worn by Miss St. Jean on Friday. The identification was made by Mrs Eva Bamerieux of Fall River, who stated that the hat, shoes and stockings and underclothes which 1t contained had been borrowed from her by her niece, Miss St. Jean, on Friday morn ing. The papers of the same date as those found covering the limbs have been found wrapped about the clothing. An at tempt of Joseph St. Jean, father of the missing girl. to identify the body here as that of his daughter was without sue cess, Although expressing the belief that the body was that of his daughter, he still was unable to find any identifying marks upon it.
 Mrs. Sara Grinill of Fall River. Mass, viewed the dismembered body today and she believed the corpse was that of her stepdaughter, Julia. who had been missing some time Because of the woman's ex- cited condition the authorities took lit- tie stock in this identification.

Walter MilIer's Affidavit.


 Seattle, Wash, October 14.-Walter P. Miller, photographer of the Cook expedi- tion to Mount Mckinley in 1906, made the affidavit today which is published by the Seattle Times:
 q was a member of the Dr. Cook Mount Mckinley expedition that left Seattle in June. 1903 for Alaska, for the purpose of climbing Mckinley. In that party were Dr. Frederick A. Cook. Robert s. Dunn, Ralph l.. Shainwald Fred Printz and myself. After making two attempts to scale the mountain that year and falling we returned to Seattle.
 ''On May r, 1906. Dr. Cook again left Seattle with a party for Alaska for the purpose of climbing Mount Mckinley. In that party were Dr. Cook. Herschell Parker, RussellN W. Porter. Belmore Brown. Ed BarT'ill, Fred Printz, s. p. Beeoher and myself We landed at Ty onek on Cook inlet. about May 2s. 1906. with 20 pack horses and a power boat for the Susitana river. Barrill, Printz and Beecher took the pack outfit over land and met us on the headwaters of the Yentna, about 12o miles from Cook inlet.
 After exploring the country here for a suitable route to Mount Mckinley. the advance was abandoned for that year and our party divided, Professor Parker returning to New York; Porter. the topog- rapher. staying in that vicinity for the purpose of mapping the country. Brown and Beecher went to Matunaska ana Printz and I to the Kechatfa on a hunt ing trip.
 Cook, Barrill and a man named Dock ing left in the launch, going down the Yentna and up the Susitana, up the Chui- itna and into the Toksitna. where they left their boat. From the time Cook and Barrll left us at the headwaters of D,f. T on our hunting trip until we met them at Sustana station. September z2. I knew nothing of their movements except what was told me by Barrill
 ''whenever I asked Barrill concerning the ascent he always referred me to Cook.
 " Ask the doctor about it.. he would answer, he told me not to say anything about It.
 Cook told the story of the ascent to us several times on the way out Later I met Barrill in Missoula where he told me the facts of the trip. He said neither he nor Dr. Cook made the summit of Mt. Mckinley, and pointed out to me on the map the different camps and the point which Cook claimed was the summit of Mt. Mckinley. This point is fully 20 miles from the summit.
 "A fortnight ago 1 was asked by an at torney for an exploration club with head quarters in New York to bring Barrill and Printz to Tacoma for the purpose of making affidavits to the actual facts of the trip to Mt. Mckinley. These affidavits have been made.
 'I met Barrill In Seattle on May 16. 190n. I knew nothing of him up to that time. Fred Printz was head packer for the ex- petition. and took Barrill along as assist ant. I had no particular reason to doubt Cooks word at the time we joined him after our hunting trip. and he told us he had been to the top of Mt. Mckinley The fact hardly seemed possible. but I gave the matter little thought until Bar Till told me the point they actually reached. WALTER P. MILLER"
