the hands Of British enemies
Easement replied that it was not
in his power to refuse the OF

cepted the pension because he mac
earned it through government serv

The second day Of Orpet's cross ex-

Joslyn said. I'VE will have a lot of

Trains Await In Yards.
CHICAGO, June 2S.-Forty-si2
trains and crews waited in Chicago
railway yards to speed eastern militia
southwark to the border. Trainmen
are ready this morning to speed up
the trains from the eastern roads to
the lines that will transport the
militia another leg OF their journey
toward Texas. The trains from the
east, however, were moving slower
than ants and it appeared likely that
none Of them would reach Chicago
before late afternoon. At 1890 a. m.
the New York Central dispatcher
said the trains carrying New York
! militia, the first expected to arrive
here, would not leave Toledo until
1920 a. m.
Arrangements for handling forty
six trains within the next twenty
four hours were completed by a joint
board of railway operating officials.
None of the trains SO far as could be
! learned were to be brought into the
city, all being transferred in outlying
yards, with as little delay as possible.
To relieve the trunk lines between
| Chicago and the border of immediate
congestion, most of the eastern
| troops were to be transferred here
first to Chicago-St. Louis and Chicago
Kansas City lines, for retransfer at
| those points to the border trunk
roads.
| In this way, the Santa Fe, Southern
Pacific and Rock Island were free in
i Chicago to move freight supplies

morrow before they were burdened
with troop trains.
Santa Fe officials said trainload

sions and equipment were being dis

The Santa Fe does not expect to
have to handle a single troop train
until tomorrow and then only from

Although Orpets lawyers said to-
day Joslyn had failed to shake the
main points of Orpet's direct testi-
mony SO far, Joslyn declared Orpet
had been forced by cross examina-

statements: That he had impurs
thoughts toward Marian for many
months, instead of only once, as Or
pet testified.
That Orpet had sent Marian two
bottles of Medicine, instead of one as
he originally contended.
James Wilkerson, chief of Orpet's
counsel, said today it will take three
days to put in all the evidence for
the defense after Orpet leaves the
stand and it will be at least week
before the case goes to the jury.
