 at Murder Trial.


 New Haven, Conn, April 16.-Ths minute details leading up to the mur- der of Morris Greenberg were graph acally described by eleven witnesses called by the state in the trial of George Bedding. IT,. this afternoon in the superior court.

NOT PROPERLY EQUIPPED.
Opinion of Captain Smith Before Tak-
 ing Command of Titanic.

Chicago April 16.-That Captain Edward J. Smith of the Titanic be- lieved that the steamer was not prop eTly equipped with lifebOats and other life-saving apparatus; that he protest ed without success, against lack Of precaution. was the statement made by Glenn Marston. a friend of the cap taip, here tonight.
 Marston said that while returning from Europe on the Olympic ill com pany with Captain Smith he remarked on the small number of lifeboats car ried by such large passenger steamer, It was then, according to Marston, that Captain Smith spoke of the life pre- serving equipment of the Titanic, then in course of construction.
 T noticed the small number of boats and rafts aboard for the heavy pas senger carrying capacity of tn ship and remarked on it to Captain Smith, said MarsJCn.
 Yes he replied, if the ship should strike a Submerged derelict or iceberg that would cut through into several of thu water tight compartments, we have not enough boats or rafts aboard 10 take care of more than one-third of the Passengers
 The Titanic too, is no better equipped IL ought 10 carry at least double the number of boats and rafts that it does to afford any real protec- ton to the passengers. Besides, there is always danger of some of the boats becoming damaged or swept away be- fore they can be manned.'"
 Marston further quoted Captain Smith as saying he thought the lack of equipment for saving lives was not due to a desire of the steamship line owners to save money, but rather be- cause they believed their ships tO be safe

That the final roll of the rescued from the Titanic disaster had practi- cslly been made up was the impress sion that grew almost into 8 convic- ton last night as the hours wore on without the revision of lists adding msasurably 10 the total of known sur vlvors
 Of definite news of the disaster the night added little. Down the Atlantic coastfi fog enveloped in many places, as the reports showed, crep the Gu harder Carpathia. bearing on her the sSS lives that had been snatched from the waters when the Titanic's twenty boats, laden to their limit, one by one snSde their way from the giant liner when 1t became known that she was soon to take her fatal plunge. But although the rescue ship was reported within wireless range of the Sable lslsnd sta ton at a comparatively early hour and every wireless ear was wait ing to catch the snap of a receiver which might mean that the greatest of all the liners death was about to be given up, midnight came and went and the night began to grow old--and still the word had not been spoken.
