BRYANT WON'T TESTIFY
But Crazy Snake, Cock Robin and
Pepper Bear Witness for Him.

Forty" Bryant. charged with the
murder of James Roach, will not
take the stand in his own defense.
His attorneys stated today that
Bryant will not testify. The defense
began examining its witnesses yester-
day at noon, and concluded it's testi-
mony today: The state plans to ex-
anime a corps of police officers in re-
buttal, laying stress on the negro's
past reputation. 1t is expected that
the arguments will begin late this
afternoon; that the case will go to the
jury tomorrow.
subpoenaed for Bryant are Crazy
Snake, Cock Robin, Pepper. Yellow
Bill. and Six Spot, an old darky with
a bent back and profusion Of bushy
gray hair. The defense abandoned its
attempt to prove that Roach was seen
alive on Wednesday. following Bry-
ants departure for Oskaloosa.
The sheriff remains continually in
the courtroom. Interest is intense,
and the crowd the largest ever COL
lected. in the first division since the
packed-spectators hanging to the
balcony rail It increases toward
night. and is expected to overflow into
the hall when the arguments are
made. The throng, according to
Sheriff Kiene, is unusually orderly.
When the court demands order, quiet
instantly reigns.
Bryant. according to the charges
filed against him. murdered James
Roach. white man whose frozen
body was found in a hole under the
home of Ida Bryant, Torty's divorced
wife. paroled on Christmas day from
the county prison.

COILS ARE TICHTENED.


Aurora, ILL.,. Feb. 1.-THE police
discovered a new witness today whose
testimony. they believe. will go far
to prove that Anthony Petras, the
young married man whose suit
Theresa Hollander rejected, is the
man who beat her to death, with a
bludgeon, in the st. Nicholas ceme-
terry. last Monday night The witness.
Peter Figchbach, a fellow student of
Petras at night school. says Petras left
the school In the residence section.
saying he was going home.
About O'Clock, Fischbach says, he
saw Petras down town. at the corner
of Broadway and Fox streets, the GEN.
ter OF the business district. Petras
going to catch a car. but when his car
came along he did not take 1t. This
was the car just before the one on
which Petras and the HOllander girl
went homeward at 9:25 o'clock. The
police theory is that Petras waited to
see what car Miss Hollander took and
they believe Fischback's story con-
firms their suppostiion.
Fischbach's story completes evil
dence, the police think, to show that
Petras plotted to intercept the girl on
her way home. They think Petras
meant by desperate warning to fright
en- the girl into yielding to him and,
theory that Petras, realizing that his
ferocious attempt would be discov-
cred, dragged the girls senseless body
into the cemetery a few feet away,
and beat her to death. An inquest was
called at 2 p. m. today while thou
sands attended the funeral of the girl
held from st. Nicholas church. She
was buried only twenty feet from
where her mother found her body
The aged parents were violently hys-
terical during the services at the
church and at the grave.

VIVID RECOLLECTION OF
 ACCIDENT BRINGS DEATH

rom the Baltimore Sun.
 Vivid recollection of an accident of 10 years ago Is believed to have caused the heart attack which re- suited in the tragic death of William Qulnn. veteran driver of No fire truck company, Monday night. Quinn dled In his seat while on the way to ire, and Assistant Hostler Stansbury leaped to his lap and piloted the horses three blocks farther on to the fire scene.
 This accident of 15 years ago was one Of the most thrilling in the de- partment annals. The massive truck was proceeding down the steep grade on Caroline street, from Chase street when, at the dip" at Ashland ayenue the shafts of both front wheels snap ped and the truck ran along for 25 yards on the two rear wheels Quinn was tlllerman on the truck then. and It was mainly due to his handling of the steering wheel that the crew es capped with their lives. Quinn ''stuck tight held the long truck steady by an almost superhuman effort and checked the horses from a wild plunge.
 This accident Is believed to have sud- denly come back to Quinn, with all its terror. and brought on the fatal heart attack, for on Monday nights trip he was proceeding only a block away from the former course. The greatest risk was to come at the turn east into Mad ison street, turn that had to be made after the long pace down Eden street. When the truck rounded the turn Quinn's work was done. and he col lapsed in his seat.

ONE SENATORIAL ELECTION.

The election for United States Senator in Pennsyl-
vania today is of wide interest There three prn-
cipa candidates and the who is the centre of
interest is Senator Boies Penrose the Republican
didate
If the election lay between Penrose and one other
candidate Penrose would be defeated his record,
but the opposition is divided between two other
giving the Republican candidate the opportunity to
get elected by the votes of minority of the electorate
If Penrose shall be defeated his career in the Sem
ate and probably in Pennsylvania politics will be
ended He is now the dominating figure of his party
in the State although there is extensive revolt from
him in the party ranks. Pennsylvania gave its cleo
toral vote to Roosevelt in 1912, and Roosevelt has
campaigned the State for Pinchot, the Progressive
candidate for the Senate, but the Progressive sen
ment in the State has largely died out. 1t remains
to be whether the administration sentiment is
strong enough to elect Palmer the Democratic cand-
date Penrose counts 200 900 plurality.

BIRTHDAY OF NOTED WOMEN
BY MARY MARSHALL.
NOVEMBER 8
Emily Shirreff, John Oliver Hobt
Copyrighted 1914.

It was due to the work of Emily
Shirreff more than to that of anyone
else that decided change in public
opinion regarding the higher educa-
ton of women took place during the
last quarter of the nineteenth century.
Emily Anne Eliza Shirreff and her
sister, Maria, We're daughters of a
high class English family and in their
early girlhood they were impressed
with the fact that while every effort
was made to give the boys of English
families educational advantages prac-
tically nothing was done by way of
educating the daughters. In spite of
these handicaps the Shirreff sisters
secured an adequate education for
themselves. became thoroughly con-
versant with several modern lam
guages and secured a rather remark
able knowledge of history.
Thus equipped Miss Shirreff as
sumed the task of securing for other
English women the educational adj
vantages she had gained for herself.
For several years her father occupied
a government position in Gibraltar,
and during that period Miss Shirreff
and her sister wrote their first book,
Passion and Principle" In 1850 Miss
Shirreff brought out her first indie
pendent book, Thoughts on Self Gull
ture.' This two-volume book was

A sPLExDrpLY FINANCED STATE.

The financial condition of the State this year
under Democratic control has been splenddly vindi-
Gated by the annual reports of the State comptroller
and State Board of Assessors. There never was a
more utter and complete qualification of campaign
statements than there is, by this showing, of the
assertions made during the campaign by Republican
managers and speakers.
The State assessors have reported that the income
from the taxes miscellaneous corporations is the
largest this year since the tax was assessed. The
board in its annual report yesterday showed that
the annual received from the railroad corpora
tions was this year $6s02796S6, increase of
$500 1856 which win largely go to the public schools
The comptroller is yet 10 report large increase in
the inheritance tax.
Instead of State bankruptcy, which per-
sstently and doorousy proclaimed in the State dur
ing the campaign, New Jersey is today probably in
better financial condition than any other State. It
has more than a million dollars left from last
year in the shape of clear surplus and there is in
sight nearly half million of revenue for future
appropriations.
