by counsel for the defense, Melvin NJ.
Johnson. The girl looked at Mrs
Glover almost appealingly, as If ready
for smile of recognition, but the
woman remained apparently indiffer-
ent
The battle lines are clearly drawn
Attorney Johnson for the little French
Canadian girl showed his hand in yes
terday's session. He will try to prove
Hattie Leblanc innocent by showing
that Mrs. Glover had motive, means
and ability to destroy her husband
The court room was crowded when
Mrs. Glover was recalled TO the stand.
She was asked by the prosecuting at.
torney regarding her proficiency with
firearms and swore she was a poor
shot.
Then Attorney Johnson, for the de-
Tense, took her In charge. II was a
terrific cross-examination, leading into
every detail of her life. She denied
that she had ever lived under any
other name than Glover. but admitted
that she had received letters at the
Waltham postofiice as Minnie Everett
Clarke" She swore she was married
to Glover In 1890. Confronted with
her marriage certificate. showing that
she was married In 1900 she said she
had discovered the first marriage was
illegal and had married Glover again.
She could produce no arriage certifi-

intimacy with Glover before their mar

which Johnson sought to show proved
her guilty OF intimacy with other

had in 1900. bought out laundry In
Boston, where she placed Glover In
charge. Later they went into the tin

The witness said that prior TO March
20, 1909, when she alleged she first
discovered the intimacy between Hat

seen any undue familiarity between
them nor had she in the least dis
trusted her Professionalism maid.
She confirmed her testimony given
at the inquest where she said she had

CLAIMS THREE-CENT FARE
PLAN HAS BEEN SUCCESS
Cleveland Man Declares Trolley OFF,
Gals of That City Have Failed in
Attempt To Defeat II.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 1.-The
Cleveland street railway has made
profits by the three-cent fare plan in
the past eight months. according to
Peter Witt. former city clerk. and
close friend OF ex-Mayor Tom l.. John
son. Mr.. Witt said the railway off,
Gals have endeavored TO hold down
the pr fits b. increasing expenses. but
have failed
Their most expensive move" said
Witt, was the granting 10 the en-
ployes OF higher wages than are paid
on any other street railway lines in the
United States. They granted fiat
Increase OF four cents an hour to all
the men. That makes their wages
from nve to twelve cents an hour
more than is paid for similar work
on any other surface line. But that
didn't stop the profits.
"Of course. the officials will present
figures to show that the experiment
has failed. They have been able to
get a basis which leaves them still
ground to stand on. Trust them to
take care of that. Not reasonable
ground, but legal ground Here is the
point:
Under the ordinance they are al
lowed to deduct from their earnings
for maintenance OF their plant funds
fixed on "A sliding scale, which meant
aoout l-2 cents for every mile run
By every car This provides an enor-
nous sinking fund. With it they
would be able TO replace their entire
plant in about four years time. IL
has been proved by repeated expert
ment and is recognized by experts all
over the country. that the average
life of a steel rail in street railway
service is 16 years. II is at least that
for most other equipment. SO they
arS setting aside for this purpose
nearly four til es as much as Is neces-
sary With all this unnecessary fund
deducted they have managed TO bring
their expenses up to just a little over
the earnings less the dividends. 4 a,
is. they have not quite made expense =,
plus dividends, plus this great replace
ment fund.
But they have made expenses, plus
dividends, plus a reasonable replace
ment fund. plus a surplus. They have
shown. though they did not want to,
that even under wasteful manage
ment, at exorbitant wages with in
flated capital and watered sock, three
cent fares can and do pay good divi-
bends.
AS to their next move, am not
sure. They will have to apply to the
council for permission to raise the
fare. | suppose they will do so"
No official statement has been is
sued by the officials of the company.
President John Stanley simply said
that under the ordinance the service
was inadequate. Street Railway Com
missioner Dahl said that 300 more
cars are needed.
