 Bowman and Snead are hrother-in- laws Bowman told how Snead always kissed his wife before he went to the bank in the morning; how he would telephone her during the day; how he would affectionately greet her on his return in the evening and of the gladness he afforded his two girls by bringing them toys almost every day The scene Bowman described caused half of the jurors, Judge Swayne, many of the attorneys and every Wo- man in the court room to weep; some of them audibly.
 Until today the prosecution was many points against the defense be- cause Judge SWayne refused to allow witnesses to tell of any plot or re- mark by Captain Boyce. Today. how ever B. G.

 Confer on Legislation.
DENY JOINT CAUCU, ::

Washin eton. Nov. 2-.-Fresident- elect Wilson, it is reported here, will make known his polio es to the pres ent congressman and congressmen- elect. A caucus. they say is to be called before March 4. inauguration day. All congressman here are ask ing who the messenger shall be.
 The report that there will be a joint caucus of senators and representa- tives, is not confirmed here.
 There can be no joAt ciN'cus be- tween the senate and the house. The senate members under Senator Martin have decided they will caucus alone. The new members of the house will be l asked to meet the old members in conference on tariff legislation before the death of the present congress- President-elect Wilson has not an- rounced their views on the tariff but it is expected that in his inaugural speech he will give definite directions to the Democrats of congress. Whether Senator Simons, who is to be chairman of the finance committee of the senate, or Representative Un- derwood, who will direct the tariff policies of the house, will agree with the president-elect, is to be decided. It is understood at the capital there i is difference between Bryan'e views on the tariff and the views of Sena- tor Simon and Representative Under wood.
 UnderWod refused, in the last ses- 1 sion of congress, to take orders from Br. Bryan on the wool schedule. Un- derwood is against free raw wool. Speaker Clark supported Underwood and the House stood behind the two leaders
 "The bills introduced in the house at the session this year represent the Democratic idea,' said Speaker Clark today. 'Mr. Underwood, who framed them, and myself were in harmony and together we passed the bills by 2 Democratic vote through the House They went to the Senate and there the
 Democratic senators took charge o1
