BELL Boys STORY
Paul Geidel, Accused OF the
Murder Of Jackson,
Tells His Version of the Death,
en- Witness Stand.
WENT 10 MANS ROOM
To Get Money That Had Been
Promised Him.
WENT 70 MANS ROOA
Claims Death Was Due to Ex.
citement and HemOrrhage.

New York, Aug. 2S.-CounseI for
| Paul NJ. Geidel. the bell boy accused
of the murder of William H. Jackson,
a broker, at the Iroquois hotel, opened
the defense today with three motions,
the first of which was to compel the
district attorney to state on which of
the two counts of the indictment he
rested the case. The first count, charg-
ing premeditated murder, was selected.
The second charges murder in the
commission of a felony. TWO formal
motions to strike out from the record
the alleged confession and to quash
the indictment were Overruled.
In the opening address counsel de-
clared that Geidel visited Mr.. jackson S
room to collect money alleged to be
due him; that Mr.. Jackson was in bed
and that after the two had talked for
some time Mr.. Jackson went or pre-
tended to go to sleep. Paul then went
through the brokers' pockets, counsel
said, and Mr.. Jackson, awaking be-
came greatly excited, called the bell
boy a thief and fell unconscious from
a hemorrhage. Paul. to protect him
self against an outcry, then stuffed the
towel into the brokers' mouth and fed
undetected- He confessed, counsel
said. to protect two innocent associates
who he thought were charged with the
crime.
GeideI took the stand after the ex-
animation of two minor witnesses. The
boy said he was about II years old .
His father died when he was B, he
continued and at he was put in an
orphanage, where he stayed two years.
At n went to work in a drug store.
Later he got his experience as a bell
boy. Il was discharged from that
hotel about a year and a half ago"
said Geidel, for lying. I took a drink
of whisky and lied to keep another boy
out of it,
After this the defendant said he
came to New York, joined the Y. M c.
A and got work at the Hotel Iroquois,
where Jackson was killed.
Jackson, he said came to live at the
| hotel about two weeks later.
Did you go to Mr. Jackson's rooms
in response to bells?''
Frequently"
did Mr.. Jackson ever give vou a
key to his room?''
Yes he told me I was to come and
see him ] went twice when off duty
Geidel then told of a visit to Jackson
the Monday night before Jackson s
death.
I went in by the front entrance" /"
he said. land walked up the stairs to
Mr. Jacksons room and opened the
there and said he was glad to see me.
told him I had come for the money
he promised ne"
Judge Grain interrupted his recital to
ask:
when did he promise you any mon
ey?"
"On my preceding visit He said he
would give me $40 the next day. Then
We had some drinks and we each smok-
ed cigar. He told me he was going
to help me; he would try to get a bet
ter position for me and he asked me
about my family
Recess was taken at this point.

/ approached witnesses for the defense.
The only man I asked to come to
the court that I thought would be a
witness for the Defense said Scherer,
The defense did not ask about
Jones, who, it is alleged, made a re-
mark that he knew ahead of time
about the murder but declared its ex-
animation of Scherer concluded.
The prisoner here received a batch
of mail, including many souvenir post
cards. all of which he seemed to read
carefully
Mrs. Owens Testimony.
Following the conference as to the
admission Of Mrs. Owens testimony
the examination Of Mrs. Owen was re
sumed. She testified at length, indi-
eating that there was no doubt Of
young Mrs. Beattie having knowledge
of the physical condition of her hus-
band The testimony brought out that
the condition of young Beattie be-
came known to his wife on the Thurs
day before she was killed.
You were present on several occa-
sions when the prisoner called at the
residence of Tom owen, who invited
@Mr. owen"
ON the fatal night who invited
you 2"
NO one"
ION the night of the murder" said
Mrs. Owen, Il asked Beattie who could
have been so cruel as to kill an inno-
cent girl He gave no explanation, but
said, Take me out of the room He
gave no explanation
Did you notice any tears on the
prisoners face then?''
No"
Cross examination then began by
Mr.. Carter for the defense. The at
torney drew from Mrs. owen the ad-
mission that her knowledge of Beat
ties condition was based purely on
what her daughter had told her.
You spoke of your daughter hav-
ing crying spells" suggested Carter.
THAT wasn't unusual was it?"
Yes, unusual to me. never knew
her to be hystericaI before" replied
Mrs owen
Mrs owen was then excused and
left the room with the veil dropped
over her face.
Court adjourned Immediately for
luncheon.
