LILLIAN GRAHAM
IS A WITNESS
ON CROSS EXAMINATION SHE
TELLS HOW SHE SHOT MIL.
LIoNAIRE STOKES IN HER
APARTMENTS.
BY Associates Press.

New York, Dec. 11.-When Lillian
Graham, the show girl who, with Ethel
Conrad, is charged with shooting w.
E. D. Stokes, took the stand today for
assistant district attorney, cautioned
her to "be just as composed as you
can under the circumstances"
Then the prosecutor tried to get the
girl to admit that she was 27 or %
years old, instead Of % as she claims.
She remained calm, refusing to allow
herself to become entangled in con-
f1icting answers, then the prosecutor
dropped the point.
Under questioning, Miss Graham ad-
mitted she knew when she went to the
Ansonia in December, 1906, that Stokes
had been divorced, but said she did not
know that under the laws of New
York there is only one cause for di-
vorce.
She admitted also that she knew
Stokes had no intention of marrying
again, as he had written to her that
having failed to make one woman
happy he did not intend to try with
another"
Miss Graham said, however, that
their acquaintance at that time was
only friendship with no thought of
marriage.
The prosecutor reverted to the AL
Adams story. Last week Miss Graham
said she was afraid of Stokes at the
time she shot him because her sister,
Mrs. Andrews, had told her she be-
lieved Stokes had murdered the for
mer policy king. A coroner's jury
found that Adams was a suicide.
Miss Graham admitted that her sis
ter had not told her this story until
some time after her acquaintance with
Stokes began.
Did Mrs. Andrews raise any objec-
tions to your running around with this
old divorce and murderer asked the
prose ecutor, sacastically.
NO"
In fact, haven't you brought this
matter up for the purpose of blacken-
ing Mr.. Stokes's character"
To this Miss Graham's attorney OBJ
jected. The witness declared that no
one had told her what kind of a man
Didn't you know of his relations
with women?"
No
Didn't you want to get ON his pay
roll?"
NO, sir"
The prosecutors answer to these
negatives was to read several of the
girls letters in which she invited
Stokes to her apartment and expressed
disappointment over his failure to ac-
cept former invitations.
Why didn't you stop writing and
telephoning him when he continued to
'disappoint' you in this way?"
Because" replied Miss Graham. "he
always gave me very good excuses"
Last week Miss Graham testified
that Stokes never had made full re-
turn of S1,700 which she had given him
to invest for her early in their aC-
quaintance. Today she said the money
had been given her by her sister, Mrs.
Singleton.
Were these letters written before or
after you gave him the money! asked
a juror.
After" she answered.
The prosecution disputed this and
exhibited several letters in support of
its contention.
In February. 1907, Miss Graham
wrote Stokes the farewell letter in
which she addressed him as "dearie, =
told him she never expected to see him
again, and closed Ito the only man |
ever loved"
Mr.. Buckner re-read this letter to-

leagues begin their deliberations here
tomorrow.
Under the new compact the Eastern

more privileges as to drafting rights
than they have had in the past.
There has been much talk in the
past about the Eastern League and
the Western Association breaking
away from organized baseball and
establishing a new major league, but
after this years meeting it is expected
that the new relations between the
major and minor leagues will be SC
satisfactory that talk of baseball waT
will rest for ali time.

e horizon of the events as the Re
publican committeeman gathered about
washington on the eve of their meet
ing. The prospective attitude of the
colonel was a speculative subject. The
Roosevelt supporters claimed that
while he had announced he is not a
candidate he is too good an Ameri-
can citizen" to do otherwise than ac-
cept after the convention had nomi-
mated him.
Taft supporters here concede the
Roosevelt movement is well developed.
Taft men are urging the denomination
of the president on the ground that to
refuse to endorse his administration
would be to discredit the party.
1t was reported late tonight that in
the sharp fight to come up in the
committee tomorrow over the proposed
naming at this time of the all-power-
full sub committee of five to make
plans for the convention to choose
the chairman, etc, would find the
secretary to the president, Mr.. Hilles,
and Postmaster General Hitchcock
arrayed against each other.
The situation was cleared consider
bly, late tonight. After the diners,
who were entertained at dinner by
President Taft, adjourned it became
known that the supporters of Taft had
won a complete victory and that New
will undoubtedly head the sub-com-
r1ittee on arrangements. 1t was also
evident that the Taft forces will con-
troll the entire membership of the sub
committees. The dinner was given to

Washington, Dec. 11.-Hostilities OF
an unexpected character and from an
unlocked for quarter developed To-Day
among the members of the Repuplcan
national committee and other proml-
nent party leaders who are here IN
connection with the meeting tomor-
row to select the time and place OF
the presidential nomination conven-
ton next summer.
Opposition to Harry S. New, of IN
diana, the administration candidate
for chairman of the powerful sub
committee on convention arrange
ments, is responsible for all the Ill
feeling engendered. No settlement was
reached late tonight, but some OF
Taft's closest friends announced they
would not only insist upon the cleo
ton of New, but upon the naming
of a majority of the committee.
Only less interesting than the un-
looked for controversy over the control
of the sub committee was the ex-
ploitation throughout the day OF Col
Theo. Roosevelt as a possible cand1-
date for the presidential nomination..
The advocacy of Roosevelt, thinly
veiled yesterday. was openly ana
prorniscuously proclaimed today Ad-
vocates of Roosevelt apparently based
their arguments in his behalf upon the
fact that at no time had Roosevelt
announced he would not accept the
nomination if rendered.
Opposition to New came from mem
bers from southern states, who in a
meeting today decried the efforts that
had been made in the convention OF
1908 to reduce the representation or
the southern states.
OPPOSES TAFT.
Transposition of factional differ
ences in Ohio to the committee is one
of the promises of friction, looming.
The Buckeye dispute hinges on the
method of selecting convention dele
gates.
Chairman Brown of the Ohio state
acon1mittee, who recently came out in
Opposition to Taft, favors a presiden-
4ial preference primary. while Arthur
u Vorys, national committeeman, and
Taft delegation wants convention dele
#ates selected by state convention
IS usual.
III is probable the national commit
- will adopt a resolution declaring
lat delegates may be elected in the
nAnner prescribed by state laws. SO
sNf six states have adopted the prirn-
~ system over the convention sys-
te1n.
Tomorrows program includes the
robabIe selection of Chicago as the
snyention city and fixing the time as
,elast week in June.
