seated, the youths leaped from the
moving auto and dashed for the sta
tion platform. Huyler carried a suit
case, and this permitted his COM
panion to get two or three strides
ahead of him by the time they had
reached the station.
Slips From Car.
Certain that his friend would have
no difficulty in jumping to the car
steps, Delmonico clambered UP the
front platform of the rear car. Huy-
Ter was flying along beside the train,
making frantic efforts to throw his
bag aboard. When he came to the
end of the platform and had not sue
ceeded in disposing of the heavy suit
case, he decided to take a long
chance, and sprang for the car steps.
In his right hand he held his suit
case and with his left he grasped at
the platform rail- His gloved hand
prevented him from getting a pur-
chase on the rail when he seized it,
and, pulled out of balance by his bag,
he slipped from the car step and fell,
face downward, by the track. AS he
kstruck the ground the legs whirled
about and stopped under the wheels

This bottle was identified by three
police officers yesterday as the one
taken from Rochefort at the Fourth
precinct police station and turned
over to DIR. H. B. Baldwin for anal
ysis.
DR.. Baldwin stated yesterday that
the bottle had contained a 20 per
cent. solution of cyanide of potas-
stun, or enough to kill a dozen peo-
pie. In spite of this array of cor
roborative testimony. Rochefort in
sisted that the bottle he had origin
ally in his possession contained
ferro-cyanide. He explained that it
had been found hidden in between
his underdrawers and his skin near
his left knee, by stating that while
he was being searched at the Crocker-
Wheeler Company plant, Immediately
after his arrest, he had held the two
ounce vial and his spectacle case in
his right hand, and that they had not
been seen by Plainclothesmen Kaas
and Cort. of the Fourth precinct, who
made the arrest.
After the search, he said. in at
tempting to slip the two articles into
the back pocket of his trousers, he
had accidentally slipped them inside
the underdrawers. He was unable to
explain why only the cyanide bottle
was found in his underdrawers. The
spectacle case was not there when he
was searched at the police station.
ResembIed Allison MacFarland.
At times, on the stand, Rochefort
reminded those in the courtroom of
Allison M. MacFarland, whose case
his resembles in so many instances.
Rochefort insisted, as MacFarland
had done, on giving his testimony in
his own way, and, despite the advice
of his counsel, would make long ex-
plantations of every little detail con-
nected with his movements on the
day of his arrest.
No amount of cross examination
could make him admit that he had
any cyanide of potassium in his POS
session, though he was perfectly Will
ing to admit he had large quantities
of ferro-cyanide. He made absolut;
denial that he had at any time placed
cyanide of potassium or anything else
in his wife's coffee. In this he agair
contradicted the testimony Of Or
Baldwin, who had stated earlier thai
contents of coffee cup analyzed By
him had shown strong solution o.

the young man. ; He picked him up,
and, carrying him across the sta
ton, placed him in hack and drove
to the Memorial Hospital, only few
blocks away.
The train had in the meantime
stopped and young Delmonico, his
face blanched, hurried to the hos
pital after his injured chum. The
surgeons placed Huyler on the oper-
ating table Immediately upon his ar
rival at the hospital, and word of
the accident was sent to the family
OF the young man in New York.
David Hnyler, a brother speeded to
the hospital in an automobile. Other

it and seeing the latter give it to
Rochefort. This testimony was cor
roborated by Henry Seilfeich, the
shop boy, who stated that he had
given large chunk to Rochefort and
saw him put it in hidden place be-
hind his tool box.
Both witnesses identified the lump
of cyanide of potassium brought by
Hartman from the factory today as
similar to the piece Rochefort had re-
ceived.
Poison Identified as Cyanide.
DIR. H. B. Baldwin was then recalled
to the stand, and, despite strenuous
objections from FIR. D'Aloia, identified
the exhibit produced today as cyanide
of potassium and not erro-cyanide.
Contrary to expectations Miss Ruth
May DeBarleon, with whom Roche
fort went through a marriage cere-
mony in New York city on May Is
last, was not recalled to the stand
to further testify to the fact that
Rochefort had told her he was un-
married when he persuaded her to
marry him. Rochefort on the wit
ness stand yesterday denied that he
had told the young girl anything
about his personal affairs.
Rochefort was apparently the most
uninterested man in court as his
counsel brought argument, after ar
gument to bear on the jury tending
to show that Rochefort had neWer
had any reason or intention to poison
his wife. Mr. D'Aloias effort was
eloquent and forceful.
ROckefort Denies Accusations.
Rochefort made rather remark
able witness for himself late yester-
day afternoon when for twenty min
utes he was OIL direct examination by
his counsel, J. V. D'Aloia, and was
then under oss-examination by
Second Assistant Prosecutor Andrew
Van Blarcom for more than an hour
Rochefort's defense is a fiat denial
of everything told by his wife and
the police department officers who
figured in the arrest.
The only thing he would admit was
the fact that he had gone through
marriage ceremony with Miss Ruth
May De Barleon in New York city
on May is last, and that he had in
tended leaving his wife on the Sat
urday following his arrest, June 26
last. and going to Tarrytown, n. Y,
where a position awaited him. He
denied that he intended to take Miss
De Barleon to the New York town
with him.
He could give no satisfactory rea-
son for having a marriage ceremony
performed with Miss De Barleon ex-
cept to say that his home life was
not pleasant and that he was tired
of his wife. He denied emphatically
that he had ever told Miss De Bar
leon that he was unmarried; instead
he insisted that he had told her alb
solutely nothing of his personal af-
fairs.
Had FerrO-Cyanide In Bottle.
In fact Rochefort's whole story on
the stand both on direct and cross
examination was a denial of every
thing connected with the States side
of the case. At the time of his ar
rest on June 26 last, Rochefort had
in his possession a bottle that he de-
clared on the stand had contained
ferro- cyanide, a poisonous solu-
tion, used in case-hardening tools.

to pull the heavy wagon, and up the
hill they went, to stop before a
shabby frame house. On the first floor
they found two children, a boy of
and baby only weeks old. Their
mother had just come from a long
stay in a hospital.
Il didn't expect to see a baby" ex-
claimed Elizabeth, "but wasn't it
funny just stuck this rattle in?''
The baby's tiny fingers clutched the
rattle and Elizabeth began to un-
pack the cart The little boy was
overwhelmed when she produced an
array of tin soldiers, and set of ten
pins and balls, and Immediately the
kitchen sink was glorifed into a
bowling alley.
UnseIfish Pleasure.
Then they went upstairs where
lives the boy whose sister was so ter
ribly burned while at work, and
whose little brother died last week.
Elizabeth bestowed upon him and his
cousins writing desk. a table, doll
dishes, a toy trunk and lovely doll
in brand-new clothes, painstakingly
made by the little donor herself. And
the burned sister was given the dollar
sent in by "Sympathizer."
Such gratitudei 1t hurt tender
hearted little Elizabeth to see the
mother cry, but she couldn't help
up when the children began
to realize that the things were really
and truly theirs to play with and to
keep

Christmas as this" she told the re-
porter, land when 1 get my own

Indeed they might gravely
agreed the reporter.
Who'll Help Them.
In Irvington there's family of nine
children, whose mother died on the
18th. They are very, very poor, and
the grief-stricken father has not the
slightest idea which way to turn.
Can you picture Christmas in that
home?
Better hurry up and join the Empty
Stocking Club, so that it may be your
privilege to help make happy at least
the little ones. Well be glad to send

Ten little girls, Sunday school
scholars of Miss Lucy Webb, of the
Fairmount Baptist Church, have each
dressed a doll to be given to some
poor little girl. For several weeks
they've met and sewed on the dainty
clothes, and don't you know that
