BECKER TRIAL TO
START WEDNESDAY
SECOND EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO CONVICT POLICE LIEU
TENANT OF MURDER,

New York, May 5.--For the second
trial of Charles Becker, former police
lieutenant on charge of having insti.
gated the murder of Herman Rosen-
thai. District Attorney Charles s..
Whitman, will call seventy witnesses.
The trial will begin Wednesday. Many
new faces, it is said, will be seen in
the witness chair and several wit
nesses prominent in the first trial will
not appear.
AS at the first trial the states case
will be made around the story of Jack
Rose, which will be corroborated by
Bridge" Weber and Harry Vallon.
The other member OF the quartet
made famous in the previous trial IS
Sam Schepps, but the ruling of the
court of appeals in granting Becker a
new trial discredited his testimony
and made 1t valueless at the coming
trial. The sensational feature Of the
first Becker trial, too, will be missing.
The death in the electric chair at Sing
Sing prison on Easter Monday of the
four gunner convicted of the actual
murder of ROsenthal removed them
from the scene and prevented a repe-
tition of the drama enacted when they
were led into the court room to be
identified by witnesses as the muir
derers.
For the defense Martin T. Manton
persists in policy of silence as to
his plans. 1t is said, however that
Becker is anxious to take the stand in
his own behalf and that Manton may
permit him to do SO.
II is expected that several days will
be occupied in securing a jury. The
trial will probably occupy three weeks
or month

man would have been well content to
have John for son.in-law without
asking any questions. He knew that
John was cold-shouldered by the King
ston aristocracy, that he was omitted
from invitations to the governors balls
and dinners. But he did not care. John
was a good manager, and Haidee loved
him.
So, four years after Johns arrival,
they became engaged. The marriage
was to take place in a months time.
Then 1t was that something hap

John Charlton received an invitation

Of his own kind again. John went,
and when he entered the ballroom and
saw the men Of his rank, and the
women in evening dress. his heart
leaped In his breast. Haidee suddenly
seemed like somebody very distant
and remote from him.
And the governor shook him by the
hand. Afterward John danced. He
danced with English girls, with the
bloom Of the moist English summer
still on their cheeks. And then the
governors secretary drew him aside.

man oficially-"there will be some
more guests later in the evening. A
party has just arrived by the late Eng

meet them. The governor wants It."
John assented. His thoughts were
back In his own country, and in his
heart he saw the busy streets Of Lon

boyhood, the placid countryside and
smooth lawns Of his fathers home.

FORGOT THE PAST
BY JOHN EcCLEo.

Copyright. 1914. by W. q. Chapman.)
At first John Charlton had eaten
out his heart in loneliness; then, as
the weeks slipped into months, he
grew reconciled to his fate. He could
never hope to return to England. He
had been accused of forging his fathers
name to q check.
His elder brother. the heir to the
estate, was the culprit. His brothers
wife had come to John and pleaded,
with tears in her eyes, that he assume
the guilt. Everybody would suspect
him. she said frankly, because Of his
recklessness and improvidence. There
was q girl-Amy Marin; she had looked
favorably on the young man. and he
had been wildly in love with her. But
then John Charlton was never able
to resist a woman's pleading. And
his sister.in.law had taken him at q
weak moment.
The upshot was that John went into
exile. He had pleaded with Amy to
share his lot, and she had laughed
first; then, when he told her that he
was accused Of forgery. her pretty
brows contracted and she had indig
nantly dismissed him.
So John had settled down to farm
ing in Jamaica, with the small sum his
father gave him. John often fancied
the old baronet understood, but, If he
+, did. he gave no sign. He shook hands
with John; and so they parted in
silence
That was four years ago, and at first
Johns heart had overflowed with
anguish. Time and again he had beer
tempted to write to Amy, explaining
matters to her. But he refrained. AND
at last he ceased to think of the past
except in the desolate hours of mid
night.
Then Haidee came into his life

WILL BUILD NEW ROAD
TO CAMP AWAKENING

H. G.. Davey, the wealthy Cali
fornia mining man who is operating
in Awakening district, about twenty
five miles north of Winnemucca, is
arranging to open a much shorter
route between this town and his
property. To reach Awakening at
present teams have to travel about
forty-five miles, going by way of
Amos.
Davey's new route will be over the
Barrett Springs road as far as that
camp. A new road will be built
across the sand at the lower end -
Bloody Run valley to a point of con-
nection with the old Hill-Beachey
stage road, which will be followed
up the valley to the camp of Awaken
ing. BY this new route the distance
between Winnemucca and Awaken
ing will not be over thirty miles, or
about one-third shorter than by the
present route
Arrangements are to be made to
build the new stretch of road across
the sand at once and a contract has
been made with r. NJ. Edmunds to
bore a we'll at a point near the north
ern edge of the sand. COrrals will
be built at the we'll and a station es-
tablished where teams can remain
owe night.
The new route will also greatly
shorten the distance between DEMO.
Ore, and intermediate points and
can go in almost a direct line to
Awakening and then into Winnemuc-
Cd, the distance being about fifteen
miles less than over the present
route to Amos, where connection is
made with the Winnemucca-McDer-
mitt road.-Humboldt Star.

V TROUGHS.

Interest in the Seven Troughs dis
trict is becoming noticeable lately
through the revival of the fast
freight and passenger business which
has improved considerably the last
two weeks.
The G. d. Olson stage has begun
making regular trips as often as the
increased traffic warrants, and re-
ports freight business as quite good.
w. II. Whybark is also a busy man
these days, frequently taxing the ca
pacity of his auto with passengers
and express besides his regular mail
load.
Quite a few oldtimers are coming
back to camp and many new corners
are going out to investigate. Among
the oldtimers who returned the past
week is B.. p. Smith, who had anoth-
er man went put to Farrell with a ton
of supplies and tools to resume work

Townsite company, for taking &C
knowledgements to deeds from jan
uary 4, 1910, to January L, 1913.

tutes a sweeping victory for the petit
toner, Esmerelda county.

tanned that mandamus proceedings
were not the proper procedure in the
case. He further claimed that he
could not be compelled 70 make a

rer. Judge Averill allowed Hamilton

KNOCKOOTS end
THREE CONTESTS
s.FRECK" LYDON OF TONOPAH
LOSES TO KID HAIR
RISON.


boxing contests staged last night at
the Hippodrome theater by the Gold
field Athletic club before a fair-sized
assemblage of the fans of this camp
and Tonopah. With the possible ex.
ception of the four-round curtain
raiser, in which Johnny Morrison Of
Goldfield won from Jimmy O'Connell
of Tonopah in the second round, the
bouts were not even mildly interest
ing and could not be classed as even
mediocre, in comparison with a ma
iority of like events held in southern
Nevada in the last year. The COM
paratively small attendance made 1t
evident that the boxing game locally
is de%teriorating and thai it will be
necessary for the southern Nevada
fight promoters to supply higher
grade contests than those of last
night if they hope to retain the sup
port of the public.
Entering the ring with a pro-
nounced attack of cold feet which
was clearly apparent to spectators,
"Freck' Lydon of Tonopah went
down TO defeat at the hands of Kid
Harrison of Goldfield in the fourth
round of their scheduled ten-round
battle. 1t was the consensus of opin-
ion that Lydon exhibited a decidedly
yellow streak the majority of his
Tonopah financial supporters openly
declaring hat it was evident to them
that he laid down" After he had
received two terrific blows in the
solar plexus and a fearful blow in his
left side at the top of the hip bone,
Lydon began to cry and, after one or
two more Intellectual passes at Har-
rison, went to the floor and at
tempted to claim a foul. The cry of
foul was Immediately taken up by
some of his admirers and the fans
of both camps became involved in
heated arguments.
Lydon, at nc time unconscious, was
removed to his corner by his seconds
and examined by three physicians,
who failed to find any evidence of a
blow having been struck below the
belt. The did find, however, marks
of the telling blow that Harrison
struck his opponent in the left side
at the top of the nip bone. This
blow, together with the two in the
solar pleXus Immediately preceding,
proved the undoing cf the Tonopah
favorite, who apparently suffered
more from fright than injury. While
physical examination of LydOn was
being made, many of the ringside
spectators climbed into the ring and
volunteered, in loud and emphatic
tones, suggestions to Referee Boil
Graham as to what MS decision
should be. After wavering for at
least ten minutes, Referee Graham
declared Harrison the winner of the
mill and declared all bets off.
Frank Barney of Goldfield lasted
less than a minute in his bOut with
Bobby Trudgeon of Tonopah, which
was scheduled to go six rounds. At
the tap of the gong the Goldfield boy
started after Trudgeon in hammer
and tongs fashion, but soon met his
Waterloo. a stiff blow to the point of
the jaw flooring him for the count.
Kid George refereed both prelimi-
narieS.
