BAND LEADERS,
Staying TRIAL
NEARS CLOSE

NORWICH, Conn, Jan. Is
UN.SO.-Declaring "no man
should be called upon to defend
himself against mere suspicion, y
defense counsel today asked the
superior court not only to clear
Robert Simpson, young swing
band leader. of the charge OF mur
dering his 17-year-old sweetheart
Ellen Sullivan. but also OF assault
ing her in a beach casino tryst.
The motion was made when
States Attorney Charles M. Brown
abruptly rested his case after two
more physicians swore she had
been assaulted and was previously
innocent before dropping from the
casino window to her death.
Defense Confident
Samuel PerSky, defense lawyer,
agreed to have the three trial
judges decide every phase Of the
case when Brown, insisting he had
established q prima facie case, as
serted he would be compelled to
bring Simpson to trial on an as
sault charge if he happened to be
cleared of murder alone.
TWenty.three witnesses have pa
raded before three solemn New
England juristS, but the 2S-year-
old musicians legal battery was
reported today confident none has
placed Simpson one step nearer
the electric chair than he was be-
fore the couple held their trySt.
End by NightfAll
The last six defense witnesses
were expected to conclude their
testimony before nightfall. DR..
Charles kaufman, county medical
examiner, was to be called first
to conclude the sensational evi-
dence he began yesterday. He
SWore Ellen had been assaulted
before she plunged to death, but
persistent defense objections pre-
vented him from expressing medi-
cal opinion as to whether the at
tack had been against her will"
1t appeared DR.. kaufman would
not be permitted to divulge ElenS
death-bed proteStationS.
Observers at the autopsy were
prepared to swear, it was said.
the attack on the girl could have
occurred at some time other than
her clandeStine meeting with the
pale, aSh-blond defendant.
Simpson to Testify
If the defense fails to quaSh the
case, Simpson was to be the first
witness in his own behalf. He was
ready to relate in detail every
thing that happened in the dark
ened dance hall in the hour and
a half he was alone with Ellen.
There was general agreement
today the defense has scored heav-
lily in the direct testimony of many
of the States witnesses. Several
swore Ellen was gay and bolster
GUS" when she went off with Simp.
son, supporting his story he took
her to the dance hall to sober I'D"
before taking her home.

OIL CONSUMPTION
OF WORLD MOUNTS
New Peak Of 1,757,77s, 600 Bar
rels for 1896 Estimated in Sur.
vey by Cities Service Co.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February le.-World
consumption Of petroleum, its prod
ucts and related fuels during 1896
was estimated to have set q new high
level of 1,f57,778,0o barrels. This
represented an increase of lI3,000,-
900 over 1885.
World output exceeded demand by
roughly 92,510.000 barrels, compared
with an excess Of $4,000 900 in 1885,
survey by v. r. Garfias and r. v.
whetsel of Cities Service Co. disclosed.
The United States, the survey
showed, produced approximately ST.
100000 barrels more than it con-
sumed, while in 1885 output was 53,-
Oo0, 900 barrels more. Supplies Of
petroleum and its related oils in this
country were decreased by 23, 3,400, 900
barrels last year, based on o COM
bination Of surplus production and
the balance of exports over imports,
according to the report. In the pre-
ceding year stocks were lowered by
about 22,447,0o0 barrels.
Using the same formula Of pro-
duction over consumption and includ-
ing the excess of imports over exports
from the United States, world stocks
were shown to have increased 49,
900, 1000 barrels last year.

TRADING Is SLOW
IN LOAN COTTON
Complex Regulations and Price
Minimum Blamed for Lack
of Demand.
By the Associated Press.

80 sA'S EAootSAatC4 EIcoos
NEW ORLEANS, February 1s.-In-
formed sources in the cotton trade
here said the 100000 bales of loan
cotton the Government announced
two weeks ago it would sell has been
moving slower than had been ex-
pected in some circles.
In announcing its intention to let
farmers take back the cotton, which
has cost around IA cents a pound, for
12.75 cents a pound the Government
signified its willingness to take q
$22, 5000 loss.
It was expected that q million or
more bales Of loan cotton would find
its way into consuming channels this
way. So far no figures have been
available on the amount that has
been sold, but informed spot men
placed the total far below expec-
tations.
The difficulty most complained of
by the trade, authorities said, was the
complexities Of the rules and regu-
lations governing the sale. Another
factor cited was the price.
The Government set q minimum
price Of 1915 cents a pound.
# the Government lowers the price
1t will increase its losses on cotton
that has already cost it IA cents q
pound. If they don't sell it the carry
ing charges Of $4,000 will rapidly add
to the total cost for the cotton.
