Case of Mrs. Erb and Her sister Near
the End

Media, Pa, Jan. 6.-The fate of Mrs.
NJ. Florence zErb and her sister Mrs.
Catherine BeiseI, who have been on
trial in the Delaware county court for
more than a week, charged with the
murder of Captain ]. Clayton Erb, the
husband of one of the defendants, will
be placed IN the hands of the jury to-
day The prosecution asks for YER
dict Of first. degree murder for both
women, and while the defense admits
Mrs. BeiseI shot and killed her
brother-in-Iaw, it asks the jury to ac-
quit the defendants on the ground of
self defense
The speech of Frank B. Rhoades of
counsel for the accused woman was
largely an appeal to the emotions of
the jury in which he painted Erb as.
household tyrant, furiousIy jealous,
Mrs. Erb as a long suffering martyr.
He charged that the political friends
of Erb in Philadelphia used the police
and other municipal machinery of that
city. to help convict Mrs. Erb and her
sister of murder in the first degree.
He intimated that everything in their
power was done to frame up a muir
der case against the women for de-
Tending themselves.

Roosevelt in a special message TO the
senate today, declines to permit At
torney General Bonaparte to say why
he has failed TO bring action against
the United states steel corporation on
account of the absorption of the Ten

to the recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States in the case
OF Hartman versus the 1nteFSl4l0

that further legislation in the way OF
amendments TO the interstate COM

by the commission in the main relat-
ing to the purchase by the Union Pa

that he had known every detail OF the

the entire matter had been placed before
him by members of that corporation he
had replied that he did not feel that it
was his duty TO object to Il he said
that the representatives of the corpora
tons stated that they did not desire TO
purchase the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company except to relieve the business de-
preston that would result by not doing
so because of the failure OF large cor
poration.
