JEALOUSY WAS
REAL REASON
SYLVIA MosTAD GAVE REAL
REASON FOR HER STRANGE
ACTIONS.

Grand Forks, N D., Feb. 16.-The
mysterious reason why Sylvia Mostad
concealed. her real condition from
Harry Rees with the result that she
is now being tried on charge Of in
fanticide was brought to light yester-
day when on cross-examination by
Attorney General Miller, she said that
there wa another girl at Hampden.
whom she thought Rees cared for:
that she was jealous and was afraid
that If Rees knew of her condition he
would not marry her. The hidden key
to the reason for the defendants ac-
tion was nothing more than jealousy.
the green-eyed monster" and the de-
sire TO hold the man she loved. Syl-
via Mostad was on the stand practi-
cally all day yesterday and the cross
examination had not been completed
when court adjourned last evening.
Presenting a pretty picture on the
witness star and answering the
questions asked in a low even voice,
the witness made a splendid witness
in her own defense In spite Of her
frail appearance she gave further evil
dence of that wonderful vitality she
exhibited In the recent ordeal, by the
way she was able to continue on the
witness stand When court adjourned
for the evening, however, the strain
was beginning 50 tell upon her ana
she seemed almost on the verge OF
breakdown
Mind Blank, She Says.
She declared that from the time
late Monday evening when she enter
ed the bathroom, until she reached.
her home on Thursday, her mind was
almost a blank and that at times
again 1t seemed like a jumbIed dream
On direct examination she testified
positively that she did not remember
tying the strings around the neck OF
her infant and that she could not re-
member anything about the birth of
the child or of her subsequent actions.
/ The ross-examination will be contin-
ued this morning and will probably
occupy most OF the morning session.
The other witnesses on the stand
yesterday were the mother OF the de-
fendant. Mrs. NJ A. Mostad, and Rev.
g. y. Hill Mrs. Mostad gave testi-
mony tending to show her mental con-
dition at certain times, but the tes-
tinony Of MIR. Hill as to a conversa-
tion with Mrs. Mostad some years ago
was ruled out as not admissible un-
der the rules of evidence
With the expert testimony that is
to be offered by the defense, 1t is cer-
tain that the case of the defense will
not be concluded before Saturday
evening. The state has considerable
rebuttai testimony Of experts to offer
and with rebuttal BY the defense. most
Of next week will also be taken up by
the case

said this was no time To form a new

ROOSEVELT AGAINST PLAN FOR

REPUBLICANS.
PARTY IS INDEPENDENT
New Party No Creature Of Repub-
liean Organization, Says Teddy, and
II viii Stand or Fall on It's Own
Fsst-Pennsylvania Plan Has Been
Repudiated.

Oyster Bay, July 15.--Formation OF a
distinct independent party and not the
creature of the republican party Is the
course Colonel Roosevelt laid out to-
night. He took issue flatly with sup
porters who have advanced "a proposal
for effectlng an agreement with the re-
publican organization In some states
through which. under certain condi-
tions. the strength of the Roosevelt
following may have been thrown be-
behind President Taft.
Il shall not acquiesce." he said,
Colonel Roosevelt made 1t clear that
he had decided upon IL thorougngoing
fight, independent of alliance with
either party, which will put him In a
position to appeal to democrats as well
as republicans. In states in which his
followers have control of the republican
organization ne is ready to carry on
his campaign through that medium.
The colonel was prompted to make
his position definitely known by reports
that In several states. notably Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland. movement was
on foot to have the same candidates
for electors on both the Taft and
Roosevelt tickets. with the agreement
that the ticket which received the
larger number of votes should obtain
the entire electora, vote.
Colonel Roosevelt dictated this state
ment of his positions:
II see that in Pennsylvania and
Maryland the proposal has been made

chosen cast their votes for whoever.
either Mr.. Taft or myself, gets the most
votes. ! trust that no such plan will
be adopted. I claim In every state
where the primaries were carried for
me and where e'ectors have been nom
mated. that as a matter of the highest
obligation, these men are bound to vote
for me, for / am the nominee of the
overwhelming majority OF the rank and
file Of the republican party and Mr..
Taft's nomination represents nothing
but the. successful dishonesty of the
Barnes Penrose- G Glggenheim machine
and is not binding upon any honest
republican.
Therefore. hope that in every state
the progressives without regard to
their past party affiliations. may have
the chance to vote at the polls for
electors who in the electoral college
VIII cast their votes for the national
progressive candidate for president"
His declaration was regarded as a
final answer to mis- followers who have
wished to lay emphasis upon the new
party idea and support Colonel Roose-
Welt on the ground that he was the
rightful nominee of the republican
party.
