diz street.

Rev. Holly fired one bullet at Pear.
sail, who stood in the center Of the
dim room. 1t plowed through Pear
Sails right lung and he fell to the
floor in a crumpled heap. He was
dead when the minister stopped over
him.
Youth Used Lattice Screen to Entea
Holly Home.
Pearsall's presence In the Holly
home is q mystery. He was we'll
known socially, q graduate of the
Tennessee Military Institute and q
son of Nathan G. Pearsall, claim
agent of the Texas & Pacific Rail-
road. He was time keeper for the
J. w. Thompson contracting hrm;
now erecting the cotton warehouse.
The Pearsall family lives at 1909
Valence street, q few blocks from
the Holly home. Until three weeks
afo they lived at 1917 Prytania
street, around the corner from the
parsonage. e.
No weapon was found by the p0-
lice on the body OF the slain youth.
and it was stated by the coroner's
ONCE that it is impossible to state
by an autopsy whether or not a
slain man has been intoxicated.
Young PearsalIs fiancee, Miss
Gertrude Hyde. 1876 St. Joseph
street, declared that he had been
drinking since he left her home Sat-
unday night after they had been to
the show at the Orpheum and that
she had heard from him by phone
ct 3 O'Clock Sunday morning. He
told her he was phoning from the
Grunewald Hotel. and Miss Hyde
said. called her six times during the
day and each time from different
place.
Pearsall's friends advance the be-
lief that he wandered into the Holly
home, intoxicated. He entered .
window, using q latticed screen as
q ladder. He tore the lattice from
the Pitt-street side of the house and
carried 1t around to q window on the
other side. After getting In the
house, he walked over. across .
wide reception room to the study,
which adjoins the sleeping apart
ment of DIR. and Mrs. Holly.

FARMERS, ASSOCIATION HOLDS
MEETINGS; BERRIES DISCUSSED
TWO DISTINCT CHILDREN BORN
WITH ONE HEAD. -..
Children Born to MIR. and Mrs. Andre
Foreman, at Ridge, La.

Lafayette, La, Oct. 8.-Two per-
feet baby girls were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Andre Foreman, near Ridge,
this parish, yesterday morning at II
o'clock, with only one head. The
children are separate and distinct in
every respect except that they are
bound at or near the neck and from
there on become one, anain with the
exception that each child has its
own separate eyes, mouth, nose,
limbs and organs-but only one
brain and positively only one head.
Both children are, at this writing,
we'll and being nursed by the mother
as two distinct and separate child
rem would be.
DR.. ]. o. Duhon, who made the
delivery OF the freak, is of the opin-
ion that the children will live. He
says further, that to this knowledge
the medical profession has yet to
record like case.
The twins, II they can be so called,
weighed at birth IL pounds, to- the
ounce. The doctor says that in the
event that the twins do not live that
he is going to have them preserved
in alcohol. In his opinion as a ply
sician. it is one of the most freakish
works of nature ever recorded and
for those reasons and additionally
for the benefit of the profession to
which he belongs, he believes the
twins should be preserved as one
case on record where two separate
children We're brought to earth with
only one head. He says further that
one has to see the twins to appre-
clate the full worth of this freakish
twist of nature.
Lafayette, Oct. 12.-Both girl
twins. with their heads joined, born
to Mrs. Andre Foreman, October Z,
are dead. The first died twenty
four hours after birth. the other
following about twenty-four hours
later. A medical statement was CIV
en- out to the effect that an examina-
ton assured doctors that, despite
the fact that their bodies were per-
fectly formed. there was but one
brain, and this in the structure con-
Meeting the skulls.
1t was pointed out that when one
went to sleep, the other soon follow
ed and that when one cried, the other
Joined In. They We're quite lusty at
birth and partook of milk fed to
them from spoon. There was also
remarkable similarity in muscular
action, going to prove that there was
one brain. Their bodies will be
preserved for medical inspections.
The condition Of the mother is
such that she has not been told of
the death of her babies.

Negotiations With Germany To SET.
tie Four Cases To BE
Resumed.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Negoti;..
tions with Germany looking to set
tlement of the cases of the Lusi-
tania, Gushing, Gulflight and Ne
braskan will be resumed next week
by Secretary Lansing and Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador
In the case of both tre American
ships, Nebraskan and Gulflight, Ger
many already has expressed regrets
and promised to pay damages. La
bility for the damage to the Gushing,
which was attacked by airmen, never
has been assumed by the German
government, which stated If the
American government could fur
nish evidence that the airmen were
Germans. payment would be made
for damages sustained.
The case of the Lusitania presents
the greatest difficulty. At the time
the vessel was sunk, the German
commander was understood to be
acting in accordance with instruc-
tions generally given to sink bellig-
erent ships without warning. Ger
many expressly disclaimed liability
for the loss of neutral lives in such
occurrences, in notifying neutral ma
tions of the proclamation of a war
zone.
State Department officials are bas-
ing their case on its legal aspects,
taking the view that the German nav
al code issued at the beginning of
the war conformed to international
law in requiring passengers and crew
to be removed to q place Of safety.
Officials contend that as the war zone
decree was confessedly a retaliatory
measure, it could not diminish the
legal rights Of neutrals and Ger
many, therefore. is liable to pay an
for the loss of more than
100 American lives ON the Lusitania.
