TAKES STAND ON
HIS OWN BEHALF

NEW YORK. Special-william e.
Walling. the rich Socialist. took the
stand In his own behalf again today
when the 500. 900 suit against him for
alleged breach OF promise TO marry
Miss Anna Berthe Grunspan was called
in the supreme Court before Justice
Gtegerich. When he leaves the stand
his wife. Anna Strunsky, the Russian
writer. will be called.
Walling expected 70 have a gruelling
time before being excused. Miss
Grunspan testified for more than four
days when she was telling OF WallingS
courtShip OF her. reading the many let
terS he wrote her. and going into de-
tails about the trips they took together
through Europe, but her testimony was
not shaken.
At last night session Waliing told his
own story under careful guidance OF
counsel
He knew things wouldn't be so pleas
ant when taken in hand by counsel for
the plasntim for cross eXamina ton
Wallings idea has been to blacken the
character OF the pretty Russian girl
who says he Tilted her.
These efforts have served to undo her
nerves more than her long ordeal on
the stand, but when she came intocourt
this morning she seemed to have re
covered herself fully.
Mrs. Walling viii not let her husband
make a break in his testimony IL she
can prevent 10. While he was on the
stand she sat directly in front OF him,
encouraging him with smiles and mods.

That man. after having made good
for the last ten years, deserves to be
given a pardon. True. he may be
against him. The other man has been
pardoned. II is n shame 10 see a man
who has made good, who has bv his
own efforts returned TO prison. His
actions and life for ten years ought to
be factor In his favor"
That is about the sentiment Of the
people Of the city today who are dis
cussing the sad case of the chief OF

The daughters Of the late chief OF

Echo of Gunne-. Case.

NEW YORK-Special-T country
wide search three years ago for Mrs
Belle Guinness, the LaPorte, Ind muir
deress, was recalled by Mrs. Cora
Heeren, of indianapolis. the other day
in an effort to convince a jury in the
supreme Court, Brooklyn, that she and
her mother were entitled to $4,000
each in damages from the New York
Central Railroad. On suspicion that
she or her mother. Mrs. Laura Berton,
might be Mrs. Guinness, detectives
boarded their train at Utica on the
night of May 8. 1908, and forced both
of them to get up and to dress and
took them to Syracuse. where they
spent the next fifteen hours in a police
station before they could prove their
identity. The plaintiffs contend that as
passengers their rights were violated,
while the defence of the railroad, IL is
said, will be that the detectives were
armed with authority to make a search
of the train and that IL was not the
fault of the company that Mrs. Heeren
was arrested and detained. Several
days will probably be taken up in the
hearing of testimony on both sides.
