Dallas, Texas, Nov: "A charge of
murder ''by aiding and abetting Meade
Barr in the killing OF Miss Florence
Brown here last July has been filed
against Mrs. Ellis NJ Lake, young
widow with whom Barr claims ac-
quaintance. The charge was filed Sat-
urday, but not admitted to public no.
tice until today.
- A charge OF numbering Miss Brown
was similarly fled against Barr sew
eral days ago before his arrival here
from the Jeffersonville, Ind, reforma-
tory, where he first confessed.
Barr, who has assured a grand Jury
here that he killed Miss Florence
Brown last July. was in the habit of
telling fake stories of terrible fights
in which he had participated, accord
ing to r. II. Bethuren, local con-
tractor who employed him for several
months just before the Brown murder
Bethuren was before the grand jury
when it heard Barr's story Saturday
night. The contractor said today that
Barr quit work three days before the
murder, alleging that he had cut a
negro to pieces in a knife duel the
night before. Bethuren investigated
he said, finding not a word of truth in
the story. Barr told other preposter-

BEILISS TRIAL
BOROERSONTH
SENSATIONAL
Hearing Is Ascribed as Due
to the Policy of the As
sassinated Russian Pre-
mier, Pierre A. Stolypin.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Berlin. Nov. 3.-The trial of Mendel
Beiliss at ESiev for the murder OF An
drew Yushinsly is ascribed as due to
the policy of the assassinated Russian
premier, Pierre A. Stolypin, in a letter
signed - Russian exPremier'' ap-
pearing in today's Tageblatt and gen
orally believed to have been written
by Count Cergius Witte.
Stolypin, the writer asserts, endeav-
ored to divert popular attention from
breaches of the Russian constitution
and from non-fulillment of the en-
peror's manifesto Of 1907 by investing
the modern nationalist designed to
rob all non orthodox Russians and
particularly those of the Jewish re-
ligion of their rights.
The instigators of the Beiliss accu-
sation are, he says, insignificant in
dividuals, former co-workers with
Stolypin.
The writer, answering a question
whether the present Russian premier,
vladimir Kokovsoff. could have pre-
vented the trial, but lacked the cour-
age to do so. expresses the belief that
Kokovsoff has brought himself into
such a position that he can prevent
nothing and can retire from office,
