met his death. He stated that there was but one issue in the case and that was the negro had been taken to the woods and foully killed. Mir Burr took up each part of the evidence introduced by the state connecting Walter Jones with the killing, which he said was not denied. He declared the attempted plea of self defense which had been introduced by the defense, as flimsy and fanciful. and that the peaceful mission" argu- ment had been born in the court room. He called attention of the jury to the fact that in all the statements made by the defendant previous to his own testi- mony on the stand the peaceful mission had not been mentioned.
 He read statements made by the pris- oner in his signed confession. which he contended discredited the evidence he had given on the witness stand.
 Appeals to Jury
 In closing his eloquent and forceful ad- dress he urged the jurymen to do their duty as they saw it..
 If you believe the statement made by the defendant your duty is to turn him loose, if you believe the evidence intro duced by the state give him the full measure of the penalty. But I tell you, gentlemen, if the state evidence is true then Walter Jones has committed a das- tardly crime in turing a negro to his slaughter.
 'T have tried to conduct this case fairly, both to the state and the defend- ant I leave the case with you gentle men, knowing you will do your duty and dc 1t with the approval of your con- sciences.
 Charge Delivered
 Judge Frank Cahalan gave the charge to the jury. He called their attention to the fact that they were performing the highest duty citizen could perform for his state. He charged them to render

New York, Aug. 21.-Sam Schepps
went before the Rosenthal grand jury
and told the same story of the gam
bling graft murder that he told tC
District Attorney Whitman and the
county prosecutor looked for at least
seven indictments in short order.
Whitman expected that the grand
jury would reindict Lieutenant Charles
Becker and return true bills agains,

these indictments the district attorney
asked for bills against Jack Sullivan
friend and agent of Becker, and VIII
lam Shapiro, driver of the murder car
That the grand jury within a few
days would completely clear up the
Rosenthal murder and then be free
to probe to the bottom or top the
wholesale charges of police graft was
the opinion of Whitman, who said
that the story related to him by
Schepps corroborated in every detail
that of Jack Rose, dovetailing as
smoothly as though the informers had
compared notes.

MessrS. Rainey and Austin
Exchange Personalities.
HSTIC BOUT Is FEARED
Sergeant-at-Arms Occupies Seat Near
Verbal Warriors In Order to Pre-.
vent Danger of Personal En-.
counter Between Them.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Representa-
tive Rainey of Illinois, a Democrat.
and Representative Austin of Ten
nessee, a Republican. fought wordy
battle in the house and exchanged
bitter personalities. Each had fifty
four minutes allotted under a special
rule. So bitter was the feeling be-
tween the two men that a sergeant
alarms occupied a seat near them in
order to prevent danger of personal
encounter between them.
MIR. Rainey charged that Mr.. Austin
was personally interested in water
power legislation. that he was one of
the incorporators of big company in
the vicinity of Knoxville, Tenn. to be
benefited by pending legislation and
that well trodden trail led from
the congressional office of Mr.. Austin
to the Offices of the so called water
power trust
In recent colloquy Mr. Rainey as
serted Mr.. Austin had declared that
If he, as representative, had favored
the water power trust he would con-
slider he had disgraced himself and if
Mr.. Rainey could produce proof OF his
guilt he would resign.
His Resignation Not Asked.
IL do not ask the gentleman to re-
sign from this body" said Mr.. Rainey,
delivering carefully prepared speech,
II do not think, however, that the
cause of water power conservation in
Tennessee would suffer If the gentle
mans connection with the house
would cease. The gentleman will be
missed If he resigns, however, by wa
ter power lobbyists"
He referred to what he called the
absolute bad faith of all these Ten
nessee enterprises" and said he knew
"of no better illustration as to what
unscrupulous water power manipula-
tors can do with water power than
the illustration furnished by the Knox
vile Power company"
"This company" he said, made the
first attempt to deliver the city OF
Knoxville and all OF that territory to
the water power trust. 1t had five
incorporators. The records of the sec
retary of state of Tennessee show
that Richard W. Austin was one OF
them, the same Richard w. Austin
who now represents the Second dis
trict of Tennessee"
