DENIES HE PROMPTED MRS.
 ROSTER TO KILL HER HUSBAND

Philadelphia. Oct. 23-Arthur E. Roster, brother of Oscar Rosier. the ad- vertfsng man who was shot to death with his stenogra pher, Miss Mildred Ger aldine Reckitt, today denied on the wit ness stand that he had poisoned the mind of Mrs. Catherine Roster against her husband and prompted the shooting The young widow, accused of the double staying, is being tried on murder charge in connection with the death of the stenographcr.
 Roster, described by the defense as the '1ago' of the case, was subjected to a strenuous cross-examination throughout the afternoon session by John R. K. Scott. chief counsel for Mrs Rosier. Questions were hurled at the witness in an endeavor to prove that he was in league with his brother to drive this woman from the house. Roster main tained that he never had told his sister in-law that the slain man was anxious ! to cast her off for new love Verbal clashes between opposing attor- neys enlivened the session. Almost every question was objected to by the common wealth.
 Mrs. Roster stared bitterly at the wit ness, who avoided meeting her eyes. Only once tot@ was she overcome with emo tion-in the morning session, when | 1 Bliss Tolin. her husbands partner. was asked to identify Rosters blood -hecked 1 spectacles Then she broke into sobs i It was in the course of the examina. 1 tion of Tolin that Mir. Scott objected tc i the Identification by the witness of the l memorandum of business engagement on the ground that testimony on the activities of Oscar Roster were irrelevant to trial concerned exclusively with the killing of the stenographer, Jerry ! Rechitt. He asserted that not even
 dying statement of Roster was relevant Judge Barratt sustained Mir Scott
 Tolin testified that he had taken dovl
 in small memorandum book a will dis inheciting his wife and child as Rosiel i dictated it on his death bed in the hos pital.
 Frank Batchellor. another partner O
 the dead man. was also called to tn,
 stand in the morning session. He testi
 fled to the bloodstain on the wall mad by the hand of the stenographer. Tn l commonwealth is relying upon this blood
 stain to prove it's contention that tn

 Mrs. Roster entered the room. BatcheI Tor also identified the pistol with whicl

 The gun was discharged accidentally, Harlow told the authorities, and Mrs. Harlow was not shot. Harlow said his wife tainted him. admitted her relations with the youth. and then he struck at her. smashing the gunstock.
 As she turned and fled, he followed her, belaboring her with the barrel of the gun until she fell at his feet. T didn't mean to kill her. I just real ized that something terrible had hap pened and went mad" he declared.
 She stood in front of me when ] asked: How long has this been going en?'
 "I became blind with rage when she l smiled and said: Long enough how dc 1 you like it?'" l Harlow then returned to the home and | found portions of the clothing left be. l hind by the youth when he fled.
