dicted himself in various features Of his
testimony on Thursday. Kerwin said
he, did not remember writing letter

jail. promising to furnish her a home II
she would help him get free. Several
times the witness was in tears as he
again described how he carried the dead
body of the child through the woods on
the night Of July 8.
0eorre Leith. a Boston detective en-
gagged nv the state, related how Mrs.
Kenerson had made a confession to him
in iail. He said she first told him she
choked the child while Mrs. Hicks hit
1t with a club. After he told her that
he did not think she was telling the
truth she changed her story and as
sumed all responsibility for the act.
High Sheriff Worthen was the first wit
ness for the defense but he denied that
he had ever treated Kerwin harshly. Asked
why he moved him to the lower floor In
Jail and locked his cell he said he did not
do this until he found he had a large Ale
in his hip pocket He said he never made
any threats to Kerwin to get him to make
his confession that he helped Mrs. Kener'
son hide the body Of the child.
Mrs. Kenerson in opening her testimony
stated she was born in Woodsville. N. H.
was married when Is and had a child be.

The Russian government again Is rae
ing a crisis, but apparently with his
usual "blood and iron" methods Premier
Kerensky has taken rigorous steps to
| combat 1t and to punish severely those
Of the opposition elements who brought
It about.
Succinctly. General Korniloff, COM
mander- in chief of the army, backed by
a group Of political agitators. has de-
manded for himself dictatorial powers
by the surrender of the government into
his hands. Kerensky has refused to
comply with the demand and has had in
carcerated in the Petropavlovsk fort
ress M. Lvoff. member of the Duma, who
acted as Korniloff's mediary and who
under severe examination has had
wrung from him the details of the plot
to overthrow the government and bring
about return of the despotic regime.
The names Of the chief conspirators in
the plot also have been ascertained, and
these men doubtless will receive pun
ishment at the hands of the govern
ment.
As for KornilofY, he has been deposed
from the chief command of the army
while General Lokomsky has been pro-
nounced traitor for refusing to take
up Korniloff's duties.
Meanwhile martial law has been de-
clared In Petrograd and it's envirans and
the government is taking measures to
crush the revolt swiftly and decisively.
probably by the creation of a directory
composed of a small number of men,
tried and true friends of the revolution.
An indication that Kerensky and his
followers have a good chance quickly to
bring about order is contained in a
proclamation issued by the soldiers and
workmen's council urging that all the
army and navy organization obey the
provisional government and refuse to ad-
here to the conspiracy, and asserting that
Korniloff will be punished for his treach-
cry.
Petrograd. Sept. 10-Concerning the de.
tails and development of Korniloff's re.
bellion, the ministers Of the provisional
government refuse to make public the de.
tails but the Associated Press. from frag
