 Meanwhile the car was being wreck ed as piece after piece of broken as phalt from pile on the sidewalk was hurled at it. The motorman and con- ductor were lost to sight after several women clambered aboard the car and pulled them to the street. The mems clothing was torn. their faces scratch ed and bruised. It was not until the automobile load of reserves arrived that a sembIance of order was re- stored.
 One of the women arrested charged the police with dragging her infant child from her arms. She asserted the child was left on the sidewalk and two hours after the riot no trace of it had been found.
 Before the meeting of the women closed a committee was appointed to arrange for a women's parade from Union Square to the city hall where an attempt will be made to see Mayor Mitchell. The parade probably will be held next Monday.

BASIS OF MURDER CHARGE
 AGAINST F. L.. SMALL.
Boston Broker Whose Wife's Body Was Eourd in Ruins of Cottage.

Mountain View, N. H.. Oct 5.-Cir- cumstances on which the state and county authorities base the charge of murder against Frederick L. Small, a former Boston stock broker, because of the death of his wife, Florence 4. Small, a week ago, were outlined in the district court here today. The charred body O. Mrs. Small was found in the ruins of her home on the shore of Ossipee lake, bearing evidence that she had been beaten, shot and stran- gled and the house set on fire to con- ceal the crime.
 The prosecution closed it's case, leaving the defense free to enter to- morrow it's testimony and arguments in opposition to holding Small for the grand jury. It is understood, however, that the authorities have not com pleted their investigation along all lines Nothing has been introduced as yet to show positively whether the woman was alive or dead when her husband left home in the afternoon for a trip to Boston. The fire was not discovered until 10 o'clock that night.
 Small told High Sheriff Arthur w. Chandler, after his arrest, according to that officers testimony today, that he kissed his wife goodbye and waved farewell to her in leaving. The man who drove him to the station could corroborate this, he claimed. George heIlnCll, IIIS uTlVeT, III HIS CeSCl1nOny, stated that Small bade Goodbye to someone he did not see.
 Dr. B. Frank Horne, the medical ref cree, said he had found parts of Mrs. Smalfs body covered with a substance that looked like melted resin. A por- tion of the body had been removed to determine the nature of this substance, he said. Under cross examination Dr. E. w. Hodson, a former medical ref cree, said the use of resin might tend 70 make destruction of the body com plete, but the process would be a slow one.
