With the opening of the deer and

representative of free Russia" The al
lies refused to admit him. There lies
the ground cause for the new upheav-
al. Rather than be shut out from that
conference, the radicals, stung in
their sorest OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to
shut out ali of Russia. So they scored
home run-for Berlin.
Skobeleff was to have urged peace,
general peace" at the Paris confer
ence. Kernesky refused to allow him
| to GO. The councils verdict in assum-
ling power was that he and his gov
eminent "rose against the revolution
and the people"
Up to that moment the sinister for
ces that play the Kaiser's game had
remained cautiously below the sur
face. Now they shot with serpent
like swiftness to the fore front. Niko-
lai Lenin, the Kaiser's "star player"
who had been hiding for months while
a price was on his head suddenly ap-
peared openly radiantly grinning in
his triumph. The mask is off.
Shrewdest of all is Lenin's proposal
Iof settlement of the economic cris-
is" 1t is nothing short of an economic
agreement with Germany, the first
step toward the Russo-Teuton eco
nomic coalition that Berlin and Lenin
are planning.
The very first thing the council did
after assuming the reins of govern
.ment was, unwittingly no doubt, to
stir up new suspicion among the
troops at the front that may result in
a new dissolution. "Watch closely the
conduct of the men in command" it
warned the troops. "Officers who do
not join the accomplished revolution
Immediately. and openly, must be ar
rested at once as enemies" The blood
shed and disorder that may result from
this warning" are incalculable. Again
the soldiers are appointed accusers,
judges and executioners of their Off
GERS. At last accounts the Russians
were still holding some 100000 enc
my troops on the eastern front.

WITHOUT
EYE WITNESSES
in MURDER TRIAL
Preliminary Fearing Contin'
ued to Next Thursday
Morning.
DEFENSE COLLECTING
REBUTTAL EVIDENCE
Defense Told of Circumstances
Preceding Killing of Police
man DemOrtiers.

The preliminary trial of John Par
menter on charge of killing Patrol
man Albert Demortiers has been con-
tinued at the request Of Judge Edward
D. Nays, the attorney for the defend
ant, Prosecuting Attorney Caruthers
announced yesterday. The hearing
was set for next Thursday morning.
In the meantime Judge Hays and n.
A. Motley are collecting evidence on
which to base their plea. 1t is known
that insanity will rot be the plea OF
the defense and it is understood that
the attorneys Of the defense have OBJ
tanned evidence on which they are con-
fided to secure an acquittal of theil
client.
It is said now that the state has
no witnesses who saw the killing. but
that their case will be prosecuted or
the presumption that Parmenter wa;
the slayer in view of the fact thai
he was seen with the policeman short
" before the latter was shot, and wa
seen walking away from the corne
where the killing took place.
Persons who were said to be ey'
witnesses of the killing can not stat
positively whether the man who the!
say was Par1nenter, fired the fata
shots. An examination Of the wound
showed that the killing did not occu
under the circumstances under whlci
| it has been presented to the prosecut
ing attorney.
While the state is bending effort
to find actual eye witnesses, the de
tense has obtained some evldenc
which is unknown to the prosecuting
attorney, the attorneys for the defend
ant say. This evidence, they are con
Ifident will result in the acquittal Q
Parmenter.
Whether this evidence will be intro
duced at the preliminary trial 9
whether the attorneys for the defenc
liant will waive the examination of the
witnesses before the Justice of til
Peace, is not known. The defense
reticent as to the course it will pul
sue in the case.
