Death Penalty.
DEFENSE SCORES POINT
Attorney O'Shea Has Testi-
mony Thrown Out Re-
garding Confession.
DEFENSE SCORES POINT

The defense in the case of Edgar
Randolph Perrygo, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Mary Emily Faith
full, scored its first victory yester-
day when Justice Gould ruled out
the testimony of Detective Joseph
Connors with respect to the confess
sion the boy made in Police In
spector Grants office.
Attorney James A. OShea, for the
defense, sprang to his feet with OBJ
jections when COnnors testified that
Perrygo's hearing that it would be
best in the long run" for the truth
about the killing to come out.
This, OShea contended, put the
boys confession in the class with
those obtained with a promise of
reward and therefore made it mad
missibles Justice Gould again re-
fused to rule out the confession.
but did rule out that part of the
testimony.
Tries to show Coercion.
O'Shea also tried to show that a
vieled promise of reward was held
out to Perrygo when the police
brought Mabel Hill, the boys sweet
heart, in the room before making
the Objectionable remark, and thus
tempting the lad that way. The at
torney also attempted to show that
the presence of the girl. to marry
whom the boy was allegedly will
ing to rob and kill. affected his emo
tiOns to the extent that it made him
irresponsible.
Under In
said that PerrygO claimed to have
felt i'll during the alleged third de-
gree" examination at headquarters,
a condition. O'Shea tried to show,
was due to the effect of intoxicating
drink the boy had before going to
Mrs. Faithfuls home.
ConnOrs also identified the $50
which was found on Perrygo when
he was arrested. There were two
SO bills and six IS bills, several
of which were cut.
Points of Prosecution.
The points made by the prosecu-
tiOn thus far are the corrobOration
of the oral confession, the admis-
sion and identification of the writ
ten confession. the identification of
Perrygo by William Collins, a
lOOIltI dl the dllnIul nome, as
the boy Collins saw in the dining
room where Mrs. Faithful lay pros
trate; the Identification of the iron
bar with which the boy struck at
Collins and the identification OF
the rain coat left in the dining-room
by Perrygo in his haste to escape
capture by Collins.
All through the trial yesterday
the bOy shifted neryOusly in. h / c
chair. When the prosecution intro
duced the iron bar in evidence he
showed quite a little concern, but
palpably tried to hide his uneasi-
ness. Compared with his indiffer-
ence of the previous day. Perrygo
seemed suddenly to feel yesterday
that the prosecution is really deter
mined to demand the death penalty
for his act. He listened more care
fully to the testimony than he did
on Tuesday.

ceased. In the buffet, which was very
cold, no food could be bought. The
Ions, tables once laden with caviareI
and other zakuski, were bare There
was hewever, q. samovar, and we
bought tea at so kopecks a glass and
Jumps of sugar at 2 roubles so each.
We took our tea into the iner pass
port room, where I think a stove must
have been buring the day before, and
there made some sort of meal off
some of Punfervald's Swedish hard
bread.
When at last the train came to take
us into Petrograd, and we found that
the carriages were unheated, some
body got out a mandolin and we kept
ourselves warm by dancing. AT the
same time I was sorry for the five
children who were with us, knowing
that a country simultaneously suffer
ing war blockade and revolution is
not a good place for children.
1t was dusk when we reached Pet
rograd The Finland station, of course,
was nearly deserted. but here there
were four porters, who charged $50
roubles for shifting the luggage of
the party from one enQ OF the pldIIOTIl
to the other. We ourselves loaded it
into the motor lorry sent to meet us.
There was long time to wait while
rooms were being allotted to us in the
hotel inquired for a meal, and found
that no food was to be had in the
hotel, but they could supply hot water.
! Then to get an appetite for sleep,
went out for a short walk. I went
round to the Regina, which used to
be one of the best hotels in the town,
but those of us who had rooms there
were complaining so bitterly that /
did not stay with them, but went off
along the Moika to the Nevsky and
so back to my hotel The streets, like
| the hotel, were only half lit, and hardly
any of the houses had a lighted win
dow. In the old sheepskin coat I had
worn on the front and in my high fur
hat. 1 felt like some ghost of the old
regime visiting a town long dead.
