Chagin, commander OF the Emperor OF
Russia's steam yacht. the STANDARD, com
mitted suicide at his home yesterday.

Confirming this statement a report was
current tonight that the lady for whom
Rear Admiral Chagin vainly waited ar
rived later, and that, finding him dead.

Other rumors attribute Rear Admiral

ness Of the Crown Prince Alexis, which is
reported to have been the result Of an ac-
cident while the little prince was aboard
the Standard. II Is said that the crown
prince injured himself while initiating

Reads Roses Testimony.

The court also read the testimony where
Rose quoted Becker as saying Rosenthal
was becoming dangerous and should be
"crouked." He read the statement that
any one who "Croaked" Rosenthal would
not be interfered with by the police. He
recalled the testimony Of Rose that he

Whitley" Lewis TO XIII Rosenthal. but
had not had the murder committed that
night. for which he was admonished by
Becker.
Justice Con- then outlined the subse-
quet meetings OF Becker, Weber and Rose,
when, IL Is alleged, they received instruc-
tons to kill Rosenthal from Becker He
recalled Weber's testimony, where the
gambler told OF hts meeting Becker in

Justice Golf then read from Section p
of the Penal Code. and continued:

rectly procureS another 10 commit such

that before the adoption of this law such
a man would be called an accessory be.

Becker from the scene makes no diner
ence as to his guilt, IL he counselled,

the crime.

further reference. Therefore, under the
law Rocker stands charged with the
commission OF the crime of murder, In.

1t is apparent on this testimony that
the main witnesses against Becker are

question about Rose being an accomplice,
nor is there a question about WALTON or

There is a question about Schepps be-

Murder is divided into two degrees:

Justice Gofr then said II counsel for the
defendant asked for definitions OF the
degrees Of manslaughter he would give
them. Mr. Mcintyre declined to request
such definitions. and Justice Con pro-
cecded
Murder in the first degree must be de-

Evidence Of Fermentation.

From the evidence the defendant in the
latter part OF June expressed desire 10
have Roscnthal killed, and on several oc-
caslons reiterated that desire to kill.
The killing took place on the morning
Of July rs. and from the first utterance
TO the killing on the 10Th, there was
sufficient time for tho jurors to draw an
inference that the defendant did ex-
press a wish for the death Of Rosen-
thai, and did so order that he be killed.
To simplify that question the court read
from decisions of the Court OF Appeals to
show what constitutes generalization.
lie then said
Now, gentlemen, these extracts will
show you, am sure, that you must
find from the evidence the fact that tho
defendant desired to kill RosenthaI.

Jury Asks for Exhibits.
The fury had been out about an hour
when the District Attorney ana couhSei
for the defence were summoned to JUS
tice Goff's chambers. The jury had
sent a message oy Captain Lyhch 10
the court requesting some Of the ex-
hibits In the case. After short con-
ference the exhibits requested were
sent TO the Jury room. Ten minutes later
CAPTAIN Lynch appeared again with
request from the jury for the letters
that Sam" Schepps wrote Jack Rose
from Hot Springs, which had not been
included In the first exhibits asked fer.
They were turned over to the jury.
At 6 o'clock, after the jury had been
celebrating for two hours, word was
received by Justice Goff that they
wanted the Hot Springs commission
testimony relating TO the interviews OF
various persons with Sam Schepps
while Schepps was there subsequent
TO the murder. The District Attorney
and counsel were called into the judges
chambers and a conference Of twenty
minutes ensued.
1t was said that Mr.. Mcintyre was
willing for that part of the Hot Springs
testimony which had been admitted in
evidence to be given TO the jury. Mr..
Whitman objected. however, and Jus
tice Golf sustained his objection.
When the jury learned they could not

This incident clearly showed that

he did not so instruct them in his

Mr.. Hearst in Georgia Politics

Atlanta, March 21-William KAN
dolph Hearst is expected to arrive
in Atlanta today or tomorrow, ana
his visit is being looked forward
to with a great deal of interest
This interest is awakened not mere
w because Mr. Hearst recently
bought the Georgian, but more es-
pecially because of the part ne is
taking in nationa! Democratic poll
tics.
II is believed by many that Mr..
Hearsts visit to Georgia at this
time is dictated as much by his
desire to observe the political situa-
ton here as by a wish to see his
new purchase at close range.
With his other newspapers IN
New York, Chicago, Boston, and
California, Mr.. Hearst is fighting
Woodrow Wilson and supporting
Champ Clark. With the Atlanta Geor-
dian he is fighting Wilson, in mega
tive. but none the less definite way,
while he is not particularly active
here in the support of Champ Clark,
or any other candidate.
Shrewd observers are of the opln-
ion that Mr.. Hearst may be coming
TO Atlanta at this time to ascertain,
if possible, whether there would be
any use for him to actively champ
ion Champ Clark, through the Geor-
eian. or whether he had better let
Clark alone in this neck of the
woods. 1t is believed that if Mr..
Hearst, after his observations here,
considers that Clark has a lighting
chance to carry Georgia. he will in
struct his local paper to begin
an active Clark campaign. If he
decides that Clark has no chance to
win, it is probable that the Geor-
dian will lend what aid it can to
the Underwood boom.
