The Railways were packed with ex-
cited throngs who sought to enter the
two elevators, operated by William
The two stuck to their posts, making
repeated trips, first to the burning
floors and then to those above. Some
OF the girls on the fire escapes tainted
from fright and were carried down by
Fellow employees. Thick clouds of
smoke were emitted from the windows,
adding 10 the hysteria of the young
women.

ADMITTED FORGERY
Three Former Illinois Officials
Testify in the Roosevelt
Note Case.

Testimony 20 the effect that in pre-
senting forged promissory note to the
executors of Theodore Roosevelt she
was trying out scheme which had
failed her once before was brought out
against Mrs. Emma Richardson Burkett
Judge Alfred J. Talley' and a jury in
General Sessions.
Mrs. Burkett is being tried because
she endeavored to obtain $4,000 from
Col. Roosevelt's executors on a note
which bore his name, ten months after
his death. Three former officials of
Jersey county, ILL.,, testified yesterday
that she had admitted to them that the
signature was spurious.
They were Paul NJ. Hamilton and Wal
ter F.. Chapman both former prosecu-
tors of Jersey county, and Arthur Brink
man. one time an under sheriff of the
same jurisdiction. They told how they
had talked to her. when she was charged
in their county with having presented a
note for $1,S00 to the executors Of
Stephen NJ Reddish. and while question
ing her accused her of having tried to
get money from Col. Roosevelt's estate
by the same means.
She first denied that she had. they
said, and then admitted that the note
was not genuine. She has claimed that
she cashed the note for Col. Roosevelt
when he was at the Bull Moose conven-
ton in 1912. The witnesses said yester-
day that she admitted she was not in
Chicago then. never had $4,000 to turn
over to anybody and never saw Col.
Roosevelt in her life.
The note in addition to Col. Roose-
velt's name bore that of Charles ].
Shunson, who, Mrs. Burkett has de-
clared was a member of Col. Roosevelt's
regiment during the Spanish war. She
has said that he went to France as a
soldier in 1917 and that she has never
seen him since. An employee of the
depa rtment of records of the War De-
partment occupied the witness stand
yesterday long enough to swear that
there was no Shunson in the First
Cavalry. United States Volunteers, In
1898. and none in the United States
Army during the last war.

day Mrs. Burkett's counsel did not

Used but Not Blackjack.

Policeman Charles Tighe, who was
charged with asssulting several persons
on July 2S while he and other police
men were making q raiS on the saloon

side the saloon during the raid. She
charges that Tighe came out on the
sidewalk and struck her with a black
jack while she was trying to leave the
place where she stood after he had or
dered her away
The trial proceeded so rapidly that ell
OF the prosecutions witnesses had been
heard and four witnesses for Tighe had
told their stories when court adjourned
for the day. When the case Is con-
cluded he will be tried again on other
based on charges made by
other persons who allege that he in
jured them.
