Pope Told Him of Plan
In Advance of the
Homicide
WITNESS IS FORGETFUL
Could Not Remember If
He Was Married,
When or Where

Jacksonville, Oct. 1.-The testi-
mony of Erwin Novitzky, material
state witness, featured today's trial
of John H. Pope, local attorney
attorney charged with murder. The
fwitness remained on the stand dur
ing virtually all of the afternoon
session and the defense had not con-
cIuded its gruelling cross examina-
tion when the case went over to Mon
day.
The belief that the trial would end
on Monday was dissipated as the de-
fense gave indication of its proce-
dure. Three witnesses testified at
the morning session and although
their testimony related directly to
the killing of George H. Hickman
and the robbery of the theatre of
which he was manager, opposing
counsel We're exacting, with a view
to developing details apparently, that
might bear on the question of pre-
meditated design on the part of
Frank Rawlings, who committed the
robbery and killing.
Pope's Name First Mentioned
Pope's name was not mentioned on
the witness stand until Novitzky ap-
peared. He testified to the effect that
Pope, on the night of the killing, bor-
rowed his automobile and that Pope
and rawlings drove off together in
the car. Pope told him, he said, that
they were going to "stick up" the
Palace theatre. The witness said
this occurred about o'clock. Other
witnesses gave the time of the killing
as approximately 1905. Novitzky
said he was accompanied by his wife
at the time, who heard the remark.
lie and his wife then went to the
second performance at the theatre
and were witnessing the show when
the killing occurred
About II o'clock, he continued
Pope returned his car but expressed
at hearing of Hickman's
death. A few minutes later when he
and Pope were alone he asked WHY
Rawlings had killed Hickman, and
Pope replied, Damned if | know"
He was approached by Pope the fol-
owing day after Novitzky had been
to the coroner's inquest,
he said, and told not to mention his
lame.
Doesn't Admit Immunity Office
Novintzky was the subject of the
,rand jury investigation that in
Iicted Rawlings and Pope, but no
ction was taken and he has been
leld in Jail as a material witness. On
ross examination the defense spent
nore than two hours in an effort to
btain an admission that he had been
ffered immunity to turn state evil
ence. The effort was not successful,
he witness developing a faulty
memory as to many question. He be-
anne greatly confused at times, but
sually answered that he did not re-
nember. He had even forgotten the
ime, place and other incidents as
when he was married.

ense announced it had no witnesses.

S1|LlNAN'S DAlekR
DESERTS HIM To TAKE
PART OF HER MOTHER
Says Suit Of Banker Is
Stupid Business and
She is Disguised


New York, Oct. Information
obtained yesterday as to the manner
in which the reconciliation of Miss
Anne Stillman and her mother came
about revealed that soon before her
departure for France, Miss Stillman
made her first move by writing to
Mrs. Stillman, then at Lake Forest,
ILL.,, that she had abandoned the sup
por tshe tentativel yhad extended to
her father and that, in the light of a
deliberate study of the case, she had
rejected her early decision and in
future would let her father fight
alone.
CAGE Is Studied
Miss Stillman admitted she had
been able to keep posted on only one
side of the case while at Westover
school in Connecticut. She begged her
for an opportunity to talk
everything over before sailing for
France. She said she would gladly
go to Lake Forest to say goodbye
to Mrs. Stillman. Mrs. Stillman re-
ceived the letter in her morning mail
several weeks ago. She replied en-
couragingly at once and started for
New York, reaching here before her
daughters departure last Saturday.
Miss Stillman did not invite her
father to accompany her to the pier
and rather resented his appearance
there" person closely connected
with the case said yesterday. "Anne
would have preferred to have Mr.. |
remain away. She regards |
his whole suit for a divorce as a |
ana stupid mistake, based |
m erroneous information. In other
words, she only recently became
tware of the truth. She realized that
he whole thing was but series of
blunders.
"Mrs. Stillman did not accompany
Ter daughter to the pier because she
id not want publicity to attach to
er daughter. You may safely say
hat Anne did not relish her fathers
isit, and upon her return from
rance will tax cup her position along
ide her mother. Mr.. Stillman ap-
arently went to the pier because he
earned that Mrs. Stillman would not (
