SYRACUSE, N. z, April 23.-Dur-
ing the second day of his cross-ex-
animation in the Supreme Court here
today, Theodore Roosevelt said that
he had regarded William Barnes as a
sort of DIR. JekyIl and Mr.. Hyde,
who, like other politicians. had his
good sides and his bad sides" The
colonel said he did not, as suggested
by William WINS, his cross-examiner,
try to sever the hgaments between
these Siamese twins of politics. ;"
Quite on the contrary, he declared he

in them absorb the "Mr. Hyde"
1t was the colonePs fourth day upon
the witness stand and he seemd to be
as fresh as he was on the first day.
More letters, tending to show the
friendly relations between himself
and Mr.. Barnes, were introduced into
the record.
The colonel admitted that he had
complied with many of the sugges-
tions made to him by Mr.. Barnes in
regard to the filling of offices in the
State government during the two
years he was governor.
Justice William S. Andrews, pre-
siding at the trial, is disinclined to
hold court tomorrow. So If the cross
examination is not concluded today
Colonel Roosevelt will resume the
stand on Monday morning

POLICE START
INVESTIGATING
WOMAN'S SSTORY
Will Delve Into Reasons for
Mrs. ConnoIIy's Attempt
at Suicide.

The police are investigating the
stories told by two women today con-
corning the attempted suicide of Mrs.
Eta Connolly, at her home, 30 Crane
street, late yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Connolly, who is twenty-six years old,
took poison, but repented of her act in
time to permit medical attention to
avert serious consequences.
Mrs. Connolly'S sister r-in-law, Mrs.
Rose Connolly, was at the house yes
terday, but went out for a few min
utes to q nearby store about 4:30 and
returned after fifteen or twenty min
utes. AS soon as Mrs. Rose Con-
molly got back, Mrs. Eta Connolly
said, "I have taken poison"
DR.. Frank Facciollo, who lives on
the lower floor of the house, was
summoned and administered first aid.
The woman was then taken to the
City Hospital.
About noon today, Mrs. Rose Con-
molly and an older woman, who said
she was also a relative, but refused
to give her name, told Judge Mancusi-
Ungaro, in the Second Precinct Court.
the story the police are investigating
They said that Mrs. Eta Connolly
married at the age of fifteen and has
one child, boy of nine. The child and
his father, Joseph Connolly, now live
in Belleville. According to their story
Mrs. Eta Connolly met a well-knoWn
business man in a suburban commun-
ity and soon after meeting him left
her husband and child.
She got work in a steam laundry,
for which she received $3.50 week,
and furnished the fiat in which she
lived at 35 Crane street. The man
friend contributed to the expense of
the fiat and was a frequent visitor
until a few weeks ago. Then quar-
rel ensued and the woman was told
that the man never would come back
and that it would be useless for her
to try to effect a reconciliation.
After some days the young woman,
whose health is said to be seriously
impaired through the recently-ac-
quired habit of using drugs, sent
word to her relatives of her plight.
Mrs. Rose Connolly went to live with
her temporarily until her health could
be restored, and believed that ma
terial change for the better had been
ecected when she left her alone for a
few minutes yesterday afternoon.

COST $4,000
TOMARRy, MAN
Tells COURT
That Is, His Grandmother Cut
Him Down That Much in
Her Will.

], Fred Baier, of 1s2 Jersey avenue,
Brooklyn, told Judge Martin in the
Orphans Court today that it cost
him $4,000 to marry. His testimony
was given in connection with an ap-
peal made by him from the probate
of the will of his grandmother, Mrs.
Margaret Traitteur, who died at her
home on the corner of Plane and
Court streets, this city, July last.
Mrs. Traitteur left property valued
at $175,000, and in a will drawn five
years ago left Baier $4,000. The will
! admitted to probate left him $4,000.
1t is his contention that the change
was made because OF the jealousy of
Miss Marie Karel, a servant en-
ployed by his grandmother.
In the will admitted to probate soon
after the death of Mrs. Traitteur,
Miss Karel is given $4,000 outright
and is made one of four residuary
legatees. The others who shared in
the residue were Mrs. Elizabeth
Fortsch, of Brooklyn, and Mrs. Mar
guerita Reilly, of New York, nieces
of the testator, and Adolph Burchard,
| an insurance man and not a relative.
Burchard also is charged with unduly
influencing the testator.
Baier testified that he never had
seen his grandmother, but had COR
| responded with her, until one day in
1909, when he called upon her at her
homo in South Orange. She made
| much of him, he said, and he also
seemed to become very popular with
| Miss Karel who at that time had
! been in his grandmother's employ
more than twenty years.
EVERY time / called upon my
grandmother, about twice each week,
Miss Karel would meet me at the
door and would kiss me. When
| would take my leave she would go
| to the door with me, and her leave
| taking would be more affectionate
than her greeting" he told the court.
"At intervals during my calls she
also would kiss me and almost con-
stantly manifested her affection for
me-" he went on. Twice she pro-
posed that we marry"
"Why did you not marry her9" he
was asked.
"I was keeping company with the
young lady who is now my wife," he
replied.

age her attentions replied the wit

"Oh, frequently"
"As often as she kissed your"
Perhaps; although / did not at

You enjoyed the love making?"
"Oh, very much; was but twenty

Finally he said that he got married
in 1912 and one day soon after the
ceremony broke the news to his
| grandmother.
"How did she take it?" asked the
attorney.
"She seemed pleased to hear OF 1t,
! but Miss Karel ordered me to leave
| the house and never to return" said
Baier.

Neither that time nor ever after,

ceeds Late Rev. Joseph
M. NardieIIo.

Important changes affecting the
clergy of fourteen parishes in an even
dozen municipalities in the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Newark were
announced today by Bishop John j.
O'Connor They incl1de the transfer
of two rectors, the promotion of a
curate to rectorship, new fields for

Sorrows, South Orange, to the ire
movable rectorship of the Sacred
Heart Church, Bloomfield. He takes
the place made vacant by the death

PETIT JURORS
WIN FIGHT FOR
INCREASED PAY
Sheriff's Office Announces
That Demand for Compensa-
tion Will Be Met.

After consulting County Counsel
Alfred n. Dalrymple on the provi-
sions Of the new law regulating the
pay of jurors, Under-Sheriff Conrad
Deuchler announced today that, in re-
sponse to the demand of the petit
jurors, the new rate fixed by the Legis-
lature. $3.50 a day, would be given the
jurors this afternoon when they are
paid off for the week. The fact that
the jurors had brought the sheriff' S
office to terms on the matter placed
them IN a better frame of mind, and
their proposed strike is held in abey-
ance awaiting the sheriffs action.
The first intimation the jurors had
that they were entitled to increased
compensation was when they read the
exclusive announcement in the Eve
ming Star last week that the bill
which was Senate measure No. 16
had been signed by Governor Fielder
The law became effective with The
April term of court. but the sheriff S
office failed to take notice of 1t, and
extra all0 0wance was not given.
Alpaugh Leads Movement.
Because of the failure of the sheriff
to live up to the requirements, the
jurors took up the cudgels, and, ac-
cording to Garner T. Alpaugh, of 2;
Belmont avenue, this city, one of tn.
jurors, the sheriff's office was ap
preached, but, SO Alpaugh says. pay
ment was refused. The assertion wal
made, according to Alpaugh, that tn,
governor had not signed the bill and
that 1t was not a law. This asser-
tion the jurors disputed, and started
movement to get up a petition
among their members and make q
formal demand on the sheriff for pay
ment. The petition will now be held
In allegiance, to await the sheriff S
action.
Under-sheriff Deucher said today
that the jurors were laboring under
a Misrepresentation when they de-
clared they We're not to get $3.50 q
day for their services, as provided by
the new law. They got this impres-
sion, he said, because two or three OF
their number who were excused yes
terday were paid off at the old rate
of So. Mr.. Deuchler said they were
told that as soon as the sheriff got
legal advice on the law they could
collect the extra money due them.
VIII Get Mileage. Too.
The new law provides that beside:
the increase of fifty cents day fol
their services the jurors shall receive
mileage to and from their homes al
the rate of two cents per miles with
the exception of the first mile eacl
way.
Another difficulty stirred up by tn,
law is the matter of figuring mileage
Who is going to do It? The under.
sheriff says he thought 1t was up t.
the judges and the sheriff. Tht
judges looked blank and simply
asked, ''Why the judges?" Another
suggestion was that it was up to the
county clerk.
Nothing could be found that would
shift the burden on that officer, anG
as a final hope the under-sheriff SAID
he thought it could be done by the
Jury Commission. Some way may bt
determined upon whereby the clerk OF
the commission can determine the
mileage when making up his jury
lists at the beginning of each term.
