ROUSSEAUS SWEAR
IN RUSSELL trial

Boston, Jan. 12.-William Rous.
seau, member of the family Of that
name from Brasher Falls, N. Y, who
appeared at the Middlesex probate
court today as witness in sur-rebut
tai against the petition of Daniel
Blake Russell, was asked by Attor-
ney Simpson in cross-examination If
he was under the influence of liquor.
Rousseau roughly intimated that 1t
was none of the cross-examiner's
business, whereupon Judge Lawton
promptly called him to order and re.
primanded him, saying that no such
answer would be allowed in his
court.
Edward Rousseau was the first
witness today. He seemed to be
more sure of the claimants identity
than he was last week. He said he
was sorry to see his brother with
that crowd, for he feared they would
do him harm. He admitted that he
knew his testimony might cause
"Jim" to be punished, but he de-
clared, nevertheless, that he would
not deny his brother for anybody.
Sees Claimant and Cries..
The witness asserted that when
last fall he saw his brother through
the glass doors of the court room
he had cried all the afternoon to
think that he coulA not talk to him.
William Rousseau, another broth
er, was the next witness. The first
question asked Of him was:
"Who is this man." indicating
the claimant.
"That is James Delbert Rousseau,
my brother" replied the witness.
Under cross-examination by At
torney Simpson, Mr.. Rousseau said
he had always wanted to see his
brother since he first came to Bos.
ton.
Stays Away from Claimant.
II never called at the hotel" said
he, Ito see il, although I wanted to.
Detective Armstrong said I could
not He declared, however, that
fourteen years ago he parted with
"Jim" on friendly terms.
When he was told that his testi-
mony did not agree with that given
by him last fall he said that the
records must be in error. It was
here the question of drinks was
raised. :;
All Of the members of the Rous-
seau family have testified hereto
fore that the claimant was a rela-
tive OF theirs. They all, too, have
admitted they were paid for coming
here to testify.

M'CUMBER'S BILL, ). :.
= WILL Be The MODEL

Washington, Jan. 12.-Great inter
est attaches to the voluntary federal
incorporation bin which the president
will shortly send to congress. The
Anal touches will be put upon it when
Senator CLARK of Wwoming, chairman
Of the judiciary committee OF the sen
ate, and Representative r. 8. Parker
Of New Jersey, chairman OF the cor
reapondence committee Of the house,
discuss the measure with Attorney
General Wickersham tomorrow.
The bill as now framed to meet the
views of the president follows quite
closely the provisions Of the bin pre-
viously introduced by Senator Nc
Cumjber. This gave interstate corpor'
ations a right to take out federal
corporation, Senator McCumber be-
Qieving that the advantages OF such
action would result in bringing within
the scope of federal authority all the

the country.
The chief feature of interest in con-
nectfon with this measure, as now
drawn, is the fact that it does not
provide for any forfeiture OF charter
in the event of violation of law by the
corporation acting under it. Strong
representations were made to the
president conserving the desirability
OF a forfeiture clause. It is known
that at one time he entertained fav-
orable opinion Of such a clause but
finally came to the conclusion 1t
would not stand the test of constitu.
tionality.
When the bill reaches the senate
there will be ardent advocates OF
forfeiture clause as both necessary
and constitutional.

THE MYSTERY SOLVED,

Coroner Morgan held an inquest
this forenoon on the remains of
the man found in the hills Wednes-
day by Mr. and Mrs. George Baker,
an account of which was published
in Thursdays issue.
From the evidence of Charles S.
Weiland, Wellington Weiland,
Frank Fernad. George Cotant and
Constable Ouderkirk. the jury
found that the remains were those
of Bill Porter, aged about 43 years,
nativity unknown and that he came
to his death by gunshot wound
in his head, infected by his own
hands. The evidence of Charles
and Wellington Weiland, Frank
Fernald, ard George Cotant clearly
established the identity of the
remoins as those of a Norwegian
trapper and fisherman who was
last seen between four and five
veaIs ago. He generally kept
aloof from people and was never
seen without his rifle in his hand.
Even when fishing. he would hold
his gun in one hand and his pole in
the other. He had a cancer on
his upper lip and chin and always
kept a bandage around his face.
George Cotant positively identified
thelcooking outfit found with the
remains. ....
Some of the witnesses described
him as a cross. surly man that they
were afraid of when they happened
to run across him in the brush.
None of the witnesses had seen
him for four or five years. 1t is
very probable that he suffered so
much from the cancer on his lips
and chin that he killed himself to
relieve his suffering. The skull
shows part of the chin and upper
lip bone eaten away.

IMPORTANT DECISION

The Supreme Court yesterday,
in an option written by Judge
Sweeney and concurred in by
Justices Norcross and Talbot,
reversed the judgment of the
District Court of Esmeralda
County. wherein the defend ant
Grimmett was convicted of killing
one Edward Baker at Nina, Nevada.
The opinion is extremely i'm
portant to the legal profession in
that Judge Sweeney defines under
what circumstances a person can
without humiliation to himself or
the necessity of flight, stand his
ground and slay his adversary and
will be proudly looked to in the
future as the leading case in all
murder cases wherein the plea of
self defense is interposed.
Among other rules which
District Judges are instructed to
give to juries in murder cases
Judge Sweeney in reversing the
lower court said: THE law is we'll
established that where a person
without voiuntrily seeking provok-
ing inviting or willingly engaging
in difficulty of his own free will is
attacked by an assailant and it is
necessary for him to take the life
Of his assailant to protect his own,
then he need not flee for safety,
but has the right to stand his
ground and STAY his adersary."-

DRY FARMING
IS SUCCESSFUL
IN THIS STATE

]. M. Fulton, freight and
passenger agent for the Southern
Pacific company, who has returned
from an official visit to the easten
part of the state, brings word of
very sccessful experiment IN dry
farming.
The experiment was performed
by j. T. Sweeney. a rancher living
southeast of Wells. A year ago
last fall he fenced in an acre of
arid ground plowed the soil deep,
sowed and rolled it.
There was little moisture during
the winter and practically none the
succeeding summer, but from the
one acre Mr.. Sweeney cut and
threshed 45 bushels of wheat.
So successful was the experiment
that this fall he put 600 acres in
shape for a wheat crop next season.
There are no irrigation ,ditches
near the property and practically
all the moisture is supplied by the
sub soil. There are a number of
other ranchers in the vicinity who
are experimenting in dry farming.
