IN RAGE AT HIS
 MURDER TRIAL
Berram Spencer Curses and Swears at Attorney General in Court Today
Slaps His Wife When She. Tries to Calm Him, But Subsidies, Overpowered by Turnkey
{specia, from United Press.)


 Springfield, Mass, Nov. 22-Bertram G. Spencer made another break in his murder trial, this morning. He be- came enraged at questions being put by Attorney General Swift and cursed and swore in open court at that of fIcial. When his wife tried to calm him, he slapped her severely.
 Judge Crosby ordered that all per- sons standing be removed from the courtroom.
 With two of it's leading witnesses having f1atly contradicted each other, the defense in the trial of Spencer for the murder of Miss Martha B. Black stone faced the most serious problem it has thus far encountered, today.
 The conflict developed yesterday when pr. Elliott's report that spencer was not insane was controverted by the statement of Rev. Eugene B. Smith, pastor of the First Congrega- tional Church, in Lebanon, Conn n, una tnat Dr. Elliott told him December 27, 19l0, when he visited Spencer in the Bridge water institution, that the prisoner was suffering from an incurable form of paranoia and that he or the inst1- tuition should very much regret It Ii Spancer was returned to Springfield for trial.
 Dr. Edward B. Lane, professor of mental diseases in Tufts College, was called to the stand when court open ed, this morning. Dr. Lane testified that, in his belief, Spencer was in sane.
 Attorney General Swift then took tion.
 Asked by Attorney General Swift if he considered insanity and mental de- fectiveness as synonymous terms, Dr. Lane said that insanity is the broader term. In his opinion, the prisoner Is a high grade imbecile. In reaching this conclusion, witness said he con- sidered the mental troubles of the an- cestors of the defendant He gave careful attention to the defendants account of the happenings on the night of the murder. From his de- scription, the witness concluded that he was not in state of mental poise. The acts of the prisoner on the night of the murder were, in Dr. Lanes opinion, the sequence of an earlier ir- resistib'e impulse.
 On redirect examination, Dr. Lane sa d the impulse to shoot was, in his opinion, beyond the control of the Spencer made his outbreak. He shout ed at Attorney General Swift:
 'I will give him something Let me alone (to his wife, pushing away her her hand). Yes, I mean you, you
 (glaring at Attor- ney General Swiftly
 The prisoner was overpowered by Turnkey Wade and two deputies when he subsided, saying, "I'm all right" and court resumed without declaring a recess.
 A few minutes later, Spencer made another demonstration. Say, Judge," ba shouted. ''I want to tell you some thing. sThose shades were drawn The shades were never drawn in any house I went to. I never saw any one I couldn't see anyone there and didn't suppose anyone was there.

COLONEL SAYS MOTIVE OF STEEL
MERGER OF NO CONCERN
TO HIM.

Former President Declares Tennessee
Deal Saved Common People Mis-
cry and Suffering-ExpIains Testi-
mony Before Committee.

New York-In an article in the
Outlook under the headline, "The
Steel Corporation and the Panic OF
1907" former President Roosevelt dis
cusses his recent appearance before
the congressional committee investi-
eating the steel corporation. repeating
the written statement he then pre-
sented and after dealing with some
of the lines of inquiry and his re-
sponses he says:
Most of the questions dealt with
matters not Of sufficient moment to
warrant allusion to them here. Many
Of them were as to what my belief
was concerning the motives of the
steel corporation people in acquiring
the Tennessee Coal and Iron COM
pany's property; to which, of course
my answer was that 1t was not my
business. and neither was 1t in my
power to seach the hidden domain Of
motive, and that my action was con-
ditioned, not upon what | believed to
be the motives actuating the steel
COIpOIdllOu, UuI upOu 'hO bSiiSA 'i"|
the action which they proposed taking
would be enormously to the benefit of
the community at large at that par
ticular moment.
Whether the chief motive for their
action was a desire to absorb the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company, or
whether their chief motive was to
save the threatened New York firm
from failure, and thereby stop the
panic, was of no concern to me.
That both motives were in their
minds l thought possible, and now
thing possible What was the pre-
dominant motive was of no conse-
quence. My concern was chat the ac-
ton should be taken and the situation
saved in the interests of the people
of the United States.
"One of the questions put to me in
dicated disbelief. or, to be more ac-
curate, perhaps | should say that It
was meant to be understood as in
diCating disbelief that the action
taken was really efficient in stopping
the panic The action taken was, in
my Judgment, the only action that
could stop the panic. and it most GER
tainly was Of enormous. and in all
human probability Of decisive. intiu-
ence in actually stopping it,"

London-The fight between the
railroad companies and the striking

Thousands have obeyed the strike or

out. The companies are operating
their principal trains under guard of

The government and the board of

ward peace. but the old deadlock be-
tween the unions and the managers
appears to have reasserted itself.
The chief cities of England are

bridges are guarded by soldiers.
There has ben rioting at Birming.

pected. but will continue prepared to

SETS NEW WORLDS MARK.
Jimmy" Ward Has Narrow Escape
From peath-volplanes to
Safety.

Grant Park Aviation Field, Chicago.
Borne by man made wings and sus-
tanned by man made power, Oscar
Brindley, in a baby Wright biplane,
explored a region hitherto denied to
man. More than eleven thousand feet
above the waters of Lake Michigan,
he circled through clouds invisible
from earth, flirted with death in its
most horrible form and finally de-
scended safely-a new hero in the
fast increasing list of those made by
the new game, or science, or sport
aviation.
Brindley registered Hips feet; Par
melee, 10,Ss7.
The worlds record is 1882 feet,
made eight or ten days ago by Captain
Felix, a Frenchman, in Farman ma
chine.
Thrillers OF another sort than the
cloud chasing punctuated the days
events. James Wards propeller went
to pieces during a flight-one OF the
accidents most feared by airmen-and
sent splinters flying in cloud. The
aviator descended in safety, however.
Earle Ovington was forced to alight
in the lake during the cross-lake-and-
country fight to the South Shore
Country club at sundown.
