ADMITS CRUELTY
TO HIS LITTLE SON
Father of Slayer Startles
Court by Frankness.

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 1S.-An amazing
story of almost inhuman relations be-
tween a father and his son was told
to-day by Wilbur L. Spencer, father Of
the modern DR.. JekyIl and Mr.. Hyde,
who is on trial for his life, charged with
the Staying of Miss Martha Blackstone.
The father had been accused of terrific
cruelty to his son when the latter was
boy, and to-day he admitted every ac-
cusation and added startling details in
an unconcerned manner that made the
blood Of those in the court room run
cold.
The older Spencer's stirring recital was
interrupted several times by wild out
cries from the prisoners cage, where
Bertram sat with his head buried in his
hands crying, sobbing, and shrieking.
This display of anguish seemed not to
affect the father, as he told his story.
Bertram's mother and sister sat near his
cage trying. to comfort him and often
weeping themselves.
Spencer testified that he punished Ber-
tram severely several times at the age
of one and three years, and on one occa-
sion at the latter age the baby fell on
his head. Again at the time Bertram
tried to pray he hit the boy with a cur
tain rod. At the age of nine years he
took Bertram into Max Woods, two miles
from home, and tied him to a tree for
the wild animals to feed on" left the
boy there two hours and released him.
At another time, he said, he placed the
boys head on 4 chopping block, saying,
IF you ever do this again 1 will sever
your head from your body" ''At other
times I licked him about the head with
whip" he continued. 7 pounded him
on the back for putting his hand on the
back of a carriage seat and when Spen-
Ger ran away got my revolver and shot
at him. I missed him"
Spencer said that he had not been
Christian up to a few years ago, and
Furnishing his son. He said he had been
closely affiliated with the Congregational
Church in recent years, however, and
was trying to lead an upright life.
1t was brought out that both his father
and his grandfather were insane. He
said that his mother was silly, and that
a half-brother was crazy.
DR.. Hosea NJ. Quinby, superintendent
of the State Hospital for the Insane at
Worcester, an insanity expert, called by
the defense, took the stand to describe
the death at that institution of Helen ].
Tiffany, an insanity patient, who was
related to the Spencer family.
To-days session lasted only two hours
and a half, being devoted almost ex-
clusively to the testimony of the older
Spencer.
The climax in the dramatic legal and
medical battle to save Spencer will come
Monday, when testimony which the de-
fense confidently expects to prove that
the man is insane will be offered.
That Spencer killed Miss Blackstone is
admitted. The jury must only decide
whether he shall be electrocuted or sent
to an asylum. and from present indica-
tions the prisoner will know his fate
before the end of next week.

PASSPORT ISSUE
UP TO PRESIDENT
John Hays Hammond Favors
Their Recognition.

New York, Nov. 1S-Jacob H. schiff.
by refusing to either modify or amplify
his implied charge that John Hays Ham
mond had influenced President Taft in
the position taken by the administration
concerning Russia's refusal to honor
American passports issued to Hebrews,
added fuel to the controversy to-day.
Mr.. Hammond telegraphed from his
home in Gloucester, Mass, that he had
never even discussed the passport ques-
tion with President Taft, William w.
Rockhill (then Ambassador to Russia)
or any one else. With regard to his posi-
ton on the question involved, he said:
Il favor the movement for the recog-
milton of American passports held by
Jews but l believe II can be accom-
plished by friendly intercession rather
than by an attempt to coerce Russia"
Mr.. Hammond added that he was not
familiar with the treaty of 1882, the abro-
cation of which Mr.. Schiff and other
prominent men urged in addresses made
here Friday.
Mr.. Schiff stated in his address that
about eighteen months ago Mr.. Wilenkin,
q financial agent of the Russian govern
ment, came to him and asked assistance
in getting American manufacturers inter-
ested in Russia. He refused to enter
into negotiations with Wilenkin, but
some time later the Russian agent re-
turned and said he had been successful
in getting the aid of John Hays Ham
mond. declared Mr.. Schiff.
Wilenkin is alleged to have said that
Mr.. Hammond was selected because OF
his influence with President Taft.
In a spirit of fairness to all con-
cerned." Mr.. Schiff was asked to-day II
Mr. Wilenkin. in approaching him. had
said the reason he was seeking to in
terest American financiGrs in Russia was
to obtain their influence concerning
settlement of the passport matter, or did
he give purely business reasons for his
activity in this direction.
Mr.. Schiff replied that he had nothing
to say.
Senator O'Gorman, when seen tonight.
said:
Il will support the resolution now be-
fore the Senate unless Russia takes i'm
mediate steps to rectify or change con-
ditions irreconcilable with the rights OF
American citizens. This resolution was
introduced about three months ago by
Senator Culberson, of Texas, and be-
lieve there is a similar resolution pend
ing in the House"
Senator Root said he would lend his
advice and aid to find a satisfactory
solution of the trouble.
Both Oscar S. Straus and Isaac n.
SeIigman were unwilling to go into the
merits of the controversy between Mr..
Schif and Mr.. Hammond.
Just before the date on which the
resolution will come up in Washington
there is to be held a mass meeting in
New York under the direction of William
G. McAdoo. Mr.. McAdoo has interested
himself in the matter because he be-
leves a great wrong is being done to
American citizens who go to Russia |
Not only are Hebrews Disseminated
against, but Protestant and Catholic mis- |
sionaries have been treated unfairly, he |
points out. fight which is of vital
interest to the whole country will be |
made for a treaty with Russia granting |
equal passport rights to all American |
citizens.

HONESTY LACKING

Secretary MacVeagh Makes
Startling Accusation.

Treasury MacVeagh, in an address to-
day to the customs appraisers assembled
here from all parts Of the United States,
made the startling accusation that there
was not an honest line Of importations
coming into this country.
The effect of the statement, coming
from the head of the Treasury Depart
ment, created a sensation among the ap-
praisers, several of whom accepted the
remarks of Mr.. MacVeagh as a direct
charge of incompetency or dishonesty,

HARVEY HARPER BACK
 AND COMES ID STAY
He Is Not Sorry He Left Phoenix But He Is Also Glad to Return.

After an absence of seven years Harvey NJ. Harper and family have returned to Phoenix 10 reside per manently, so far as MT. Harper's plans can now he foretold. He did not go away disgrunued nor does he come back mad at the rest of the world. And he has done well during his absence, for he has been in what the believes the best country in the world except the Salt River valley. namely. Humboldt county, California. And what is also very mucl to the point. he returns with a happy fam ily of five children instead of the two he had when he left here and with whom he was, of course, equally as happy in the ration that two is to five.
 MT. Harper's return was not solely for business considerations. which accounts for all these explanations He came back primarily because of the somewhat enfeebled health of his father, Samuel Harper Harvey came down here in March to see him from his home in Eureka, and the country looked so much better than it did in the earlier days before water storage. that when his father requested him to come back permanently he de- cided that he could not do better even in Eureka, than it seemed he ought to be able to do here under the changed conditions. And that, too. notwithstanding he was and had
