ADMITS HE KILLED MARSH
Dorr Shot Millionaire in Self
Defence. Is CounSeI'S Plea.

Salem. Mass. Feb. 2J.-William A. Dorr
charged with the murder of George Il.
Marsh. Salem millionaire, will take the
stand tomorrow In his own defence. This
announcement by counsel late N the
afternoon afforded the second surprise Of
the day. Earlier Charles y. Barney adj
mitted that his client had shot the aged
man though. as he asserted, In self-dS-
fence.
For several days the state has called
witnesses i'm it's effort 10 establish that
Dorr came East to kill Marsh in order
that his aunt. Miss Orpha Marsh. With
whom he lived in Stockton. cal. might
profit thereby.
The cross-examination Of these wit
nesses was comparatively brief. and il was
not until the prosecution had closed its
case this morning and Mr.. Barney began
his opening speech that the line Of de-
fierce was disclosed.
The attorney said that il was true that
Dorr had killed Marsh. but he shot him IN
protecting himself. He contended that the
trust fund OF $4,000. which was 70 have
gone ultimately 10 Miss Marsh. had be-

prove a non partisan ticket composed OF
thoroughly upright and independent men
chosen without regard to political an'i''
atoms
This, as The Tribune forecast yes'er-
day. Is the attitude of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt on the question Of Progressive
participation in an anti-Tammany mu-
nicipal ticket next fall. II was expressed
by him In letter to John j. OConnell,
president OF the Hudson Progressive Club.
The letter was given out yesterday after
noon az the Office OF Colonel Roosevelt
at THE outlook
The letter was in reply to one from Mr..
OConnell, In which he inclosed resolutions
passed by the Hudson Club to the effect
that 1t would be good idea to have a
citizens committee formed TO select an
anti-Tammany ticket for the coming mu-
nlcipal election. and that none Of the So
called old line politicians should be on
the committee.
II may be said that the leaders Of the
Republican organization and OF other anti
Tammany bodies are thoroughly I'm har-
mony with the idea Of picking a high
class independent ticket regardless OF
party considerations. The work OF form
ing an independent committee to frame
such ticket has almost been completed.
and the committee will probably be an
nounced the latter part Of next week.
