UNWRITTEN LAW UPHELD.
Thirteen Year Old Girl Who Slew Her
Godfather Goes Free.

PittSburg, Oct. 4.-katherine Botti.
a girl of IS years. who slew her god
father with an axe and redhot poker in
avenging his theft of her honor, was
cleared of criminal charges late today
on the ground that the homicide was
justifiable Judge Swearingen in
charging the jurors upheld the unwrit-
ten law. The girl went to her homo
this evening free. She is soon to be-
come a mother.
Pasauale Volpe, an Italian who had
boarded at her home in Wilmerding
ever since the girls infancy and who
acted as her godfather, was the victim.
While she was in the cellar getting a
sack of potatoes he is alleged to have
abused her on Aug. II last following
which she struck fliAa unconscious
with an axe and ran a poker through
his body. She related the story on the
stand.
He had burned my heart she said,
''and [ wanted to burn his" A num-
Der of witnesses testified to the girlS
good character.
Although the girl had been indicted
for first degree murder. the proSecu-
ton had not pressed for q conviction
entailing so severe a penalty. AttOr-
ney Rouand merely urged that the
child be placed in an institution, bu.
the girls counsel dramatically de-
manded Liberty or DEATH"
Judge Swaaringen's charge was that
if Volpe went to the cellar with ex-
press purpose to commit an abuse
against the girl, the child had right
to kill him.

Uriversity-Writes Defiant Letter.

New York Oct. 4-Dr. Harry
Thurston Peck, one of the foremost
Latin scholars Of the world, named as
defendant in a 100000 breach of prom
ise suit brought by Esther Quinn of
Boston, was dismissed as Anthon pro-
fessor of Latin language and literature
by the trustees of Columbia university

of Miss Quinns suit and subsequent
developments which involved DR.. Peck
in controversy with President Butler
Of the university.
Although the resolution of the trus-
tees terminates DR.. Peck's connection
with the university forthwith" he
announced tonight that he would not
relinquish his position without a legal
fight. In consideration of his long
service the board voted him a lump
sum equivalent to his salary ($5,000)
for the current academic year.
Immediately he was notified of the
trustees action DR.. Peck sent them
letter of defiance in part as follows:
Il regard this action on your part a s
illegal and in violation of my contract
with Columbia university. Inasmuch
as you are acting in violation of the
letter and spirit of the university char
ter. and of my agreement with this
institution ] insist on your carrying
out your contract with me and that
you respect my contractual relations

to the dead. flowers were strewn on
the waters of the Hudson this after
noon by officers and sailors of tho
battieship New Hampshire more than
twenty of whose crew are supposed to

ing over the return to the ship TO-DAY

ported today was E. L. Gordon, sea

THIRTEEN BODIES RECOVERED
FROM THE RUINS
Of Los Angeles Times Buildine-Oak-
land Police Have a Cue.

Oakland, CAL Oct 4-Answering
the description of the launch Peer
less which is supposed to have car
ried dynamite from Giant. Cal, to
blow uD the Los Angeles Times build
ing, the launch Pastime was discov-
cred in Oakland harbor today. The
police believe that the capture of the
men who hired the Pastime on Friday,
September 20. will mean the arrest of
those responsible for the explosion in
the southern California city.
On September 20, two men, giving
the names of Bryce and Perry, rented
the launch Pastime from Douglas A
Borroughs of Oakland They paid a
$500 deposit and gave a liberal rental
when they returned the boat on Sep
tember 26. Bryce and his companion,
it is alleged, answer the description
given the police of Bryson and Nor
ris, who purchased the explosive at
Giant, Cal.
The boat showed the effects of hard
usage. On the bow were the marks
of tacks as if sign of metal letters
had been tackled over the name Pas
time.
This leads the police to the belief
that the name Peerless was used to
disguise the boat.
Los Angeles, Oct. 4.-Six bodies
were recovered from the ruins today

the other bodies is supposed to be that

ton. The six bodies recovered today
bring the total taken so far from the

lieVed to be still buried IN the ruins

Counsel for Defense.

Boston, Oct 4.-Frequent clashes oc-
CURED today between +. Augustus
Heinze, the copper magnate, and for
mer United States District Attorney
Boyd b. Jones' of counsel for the de-
fense, when Heinze resumed his testi-
nony at the hearing before Master
Hall in the supreme court in his suits
to recover 100000 from A. d. f. Ad-
ans and a score of other Boston bank
ers, brokers and money lenders At
torney Walter I. Badger counsel for
Heinze, also figured conspicuously in
the clashes.
At one stage Mr.. Heinze took excep-
tions to the form of Attorney Jones'
hypothetical questions, stating that
they were not properly framed The
copper man was making a number of
remarks when he was cut short by At
torney Jones with the words:
Regardless of what may be the Gus
tom in other courts, 7 would like to
have the rules of this tribunal en-
forced and the witness here requested
TO keep quiet and simply answer the
questions put to him. I want no stock
quotation oratory.'
Mr.. Heinze made no reply to Mr..
Jones.
This incident followed a series of
debates provoked by Mr.. Jones line of
Interrogation, in which he used a
number of hypothetical questions for
the purpose, as he claimed, of testing
the credibility of the witness.
Mr. Heinze testified that Warfeld
and Joyce borrowed from Adams on
securities supplied by the witness who
benefited from the loans. He denied
that he objected to the production of
his books and checks at this trial or
that he told anyone he would oppose
the Offering of his books and papers
in evidence. Attorney Badger then
announced that he and his client were
ready and willing to offer the Heinze
books.

of the steps taken to adiudge him
bankrupt Ernest NJ. Arnold a broker.
who has been in business here for the
past nine years, said tonight that if he
was declared a bankrupt that it would
cause suffering and misery to many of
those whose money he had invested,
and that if the plan was carried out
his creditors Npuld not realize more
than two per cent on the other hand,
he said that three quarters of the notes
he has given did not come due for two
years and that If left alone he could
make good all losses.
The present trouble he attributed to
his having given four mortgages to G.
s. Andem of Grosv svenordale but said
that the money obtained thereby, s22,-
600, was not for investment. He came
here five years ago he said, with $500,
GOO and had made lots of money for
other people. paying sometimes as high
as 50 per cent, where he had only
guaranteed six. He also attributed his
present difficulties to the publicity Civ

TAFT
HOUSE HUNTING IN BEVERLY
Rental of Mrs. Evans Cottage for
Another Season Refused.

Beverly Mass, Oct. 4.-Recent ru-
more to the effect that President Taft
would have to move from the hand
some cottage he has occupied the past
two summers, overlooking the waters
Of Salem bay, were verified today.
House hunting. as a consequence, has
taken prominent place in the daily
programme for the last two weeks of
vacation.
1t is no secret that the president
wanted to remain in his present loca-
tion during the two years more of his
term of Office. His lease expires with
the close of the present season, how
ever, and Mrs. Robert Dawson Evans,
who owns the cottage, has stated that
she does not care to renew it. 1t is
said that Mrs. Evans intends to tear
down the cottage and make the place
where it stands into an Italian gar
den. Mrs. Evans occupies the cot
tage adjoining the presidents. She
is one of the twelve richest women in
the United States. The rental of the
cottage, though considerable under or
dinary circumstances, means nothing
to her. The cottage obscures the full
sweep of the ocean view that she de-
sires and it must go.
1t had been reported that Mrs. Evans
objected TO having her guests stopped
or scrutinized by the secret service of
f1cials on guard at the presidents cot
tage, but she has denied this and has
asserted that she has long cherished
the plan for a garden which the re-
mOVal of the cottage will make posi-

for the second cottage on her beauti-
full estate.
1t will be impossible for the presi-

these. Beverly will continue to be the
