. CTROIT, June 19. In an Interview
New York thin afternoon with a staff cor
respondent of tho Detroit Journal, Colonel
Ell It, Sutton of this city, who was tho
traveling companion of ex-Governor Pln
grc during his trip through South Africa
and Europe, said:
"Haien S. 1'lngreo went to South Africa
largely for tho purposo of putting Into
practical effect three gigantic Bchemes for
tho benefit of tho people ot Michigan.
"First, tho reclamation of the Immenso
plno wastes In Michigan by planting trees.
Ho Went to tha Bavarian black forest to
expand this Idea and overworked so much
that ho hastened his death.
"Second, the rotation of crops In Mich
igan. In pursuit of this schemo ho went
to 'Egypt, whero such a system Is enforced
by the government.
"Third, tho transportation of every
patriot Boer and his family who desired to
oomo to thn United States. Ho quizzed
British officials on this subject, gained
tbelr approval pt It and had an appoint
ment to consult with Krugor about It,
which w'as only prevented by tho gov
ernor's Illness.
"It was his Idea to Interest sorao Michi
gan capitalists in tbo plan and provide
lands for tho Boers along the railroad sys
tems. Ho thought that these capitalists
could cecuro very low transportation rates
from tho seaboard to the farms and he pro
posed to get tho British government In
some roundabout way to provido ships for
tbo Doors' transportation from Africa to
this country. A numbor of English officers
now In South Africa and some eminent
public raeni.ln England took, this plan seri
ously ana1 thought Veil of It,1 provided it
could be carried oui without the British
government's aid In tho matter becoming
known.
"While studying the Black forest In the
Interest of bis rcforestratton ldoa Oovernor
Plngree oven secured the names of a num

forests he proposed to plant."

DECISION RESERVED FOR SOME MONTHS
Cnnvlnlril I'nlminrr nf Mm. Knthcrlnc
J, Ailnma Won't Know Until Knit
'Whether tip (irt Another
Chnncc for Life,
nUPFALO, N. Y Juno 19. The fate of
Roland O. Mollueux, convicted ot murder
as the poisoner of Mrs. Katherlne J. Ad
ams at New York In December, 1898, Is In
tho keeping ot the seven Judges ot tho
court of appeals, who for threo days past
havo been listening to the arguments for
and against a new trial. The appeal was
finally submitted at 1:35 o'clock this aft
ernoon and the decision will not bo an
nounced until somo months hence, when tho
court sits at Albany for tho tall term.
Tho strange crime, with Its complicated
plot and manifold mystery, rotalns a strong
hold upon popular Interest. The crowd
thftt sought admission to the court room
this morning was larger and more deter
mined than ever and tho bailiffs had to re
sort to force to restrain them. The prin
cipal speaker was former United States
Senator David D. 11111, advocate of tho
causo of tho people, who had three hours
and fifteen minutes of his allotted time left
when court opened at 10 o'clock. Ho spoko
until 1:15, and John O. Mllburn, attorney
for Mollneux. was heard tor twenty mln
utse In concise reply.
Mr. Hill was again forceful and eloquent.
Ho declared that the question of guilt was
tho main Issue In tho case and warned the
court not to heed a plea that dealt In tech
nicality' and urged objections to acts and
rulings that had not substantially affected
tho rights of theaccused. If the courts
were to be thus swerved from the pathway
of duty he suggested that murderers might
organ! to a trust and all enjoy freedom. In
n dissertation on the law. he led the court
down a long line of authorities and deci
sions, all aimed at sustaining the use of the
Barnett evidence and the policy of the lower
court toward the oxhlblts of handwriting at
the trial. In this admirably told story he
made frequent reference "to the famous
Tlchborne caso In England, tracing a elral
larlty ot admission of certain writings to
provo perjury on the part of tho luckless
claimant and In tho policy ot objoctlon and
obstruction on the part of tho defense.
Inilata Case In I'rovcrt.
In finally summing up, Mr. Hill reviewed
tho points made by him yesterday and step
by stop traced out tho main features of tho
theory of tho people. Ho Insisted that It
had been proved by overwhelming evidence
that Mollneux had written the letters nnd
tho address on the poison package and that
his guilt was clearly established. Ho said
It was not material who bought tho bottle
holder, and drew attention to tho fact that
Seeler, Mollneux's friend and assistant, had
never set foot In New York after the arrest
Mr. Hill also dwelt upon tho fact that Moll
neux was a chemist", and decrlbcd his lab
oratory and tho poltons which It contained
"Whero was tho man," he exclaimed.
"who had the opportunity that he had to
poison his enemies?" Mr. Hill pictured
Mollneux no a sufferer from a malady which
made him melancholy, reviewed the trouble
at tne Koicxerbociccr Athlotlc club and pic
tured Monnoux as plotting for revenjre.
He Insisted that every, circumstance In tho
case linked Mollnoux to the crime, Includ
ing tho fact that he had. hired a lawyer and
.engaged a .handwriting- ioxpertbefora. us
plclon against him' had shaped Itself, "the
defense," said he, "wentf through tho trial
pasting right and left without reason or
.system, merely Becking to avert it from
their client."
Mr. Hill discussed at length the law as to
comparison ot writing In criminal cases
nnd contended that the people had only
two or tnree sigbts at tho trial. He ridi
culed the claim that thero had beeu any
thing Involuntary In the prisoner's testi
mony at tho Inquest. Recorder Goff, Mr.
Hill said, had treated both tho defense
and prosecution fairly, threatening both
Weeks and Osborn with contempt.
In closing Mr. Hill pleaded that the
case was one of Importance to the state,
that the defendant had been fairly tried,
that no substantial error had been com
mitted and that no material fact had been
excluded.
Three Points of Weakness.
Mr. Mtlburn's reply was largely devoted
to an answer to personal criticism and par
ticularly to Mr. Hill's allusion to the tact
that throughout all his speech he bad not
onco expressed bla personnl conviction of
the Innocence ot the man for whom he
pleaded. The strongest feature of the re
ply was the Introduction of three points
ot weakness In the case ot the people. He
drew attention to the fact that the claim
that Honry C. Barnett had received poison
rested solely upon the hearsay testimony
of Dr. Douglas; also that Mollneux had not
bought the bottleboldcr and had not been
identified as the man who hired the Koch
letter box, without which It was impossi
ble, Mr. Mllburn said, to fix guilt upon
him.
A conspicuous flguro during the argument
was General Mollneux, tho aged fathor ot
the prlsoucr, whose face told of the strain
that tho always spirited and at times bit
ter review of tho caso had been to hlra.
There was no comment at the closo and
as attorneys and spectators left their
chairs Chief Justice Parker called the
next case.
Both Mr. Hill and Mr. Mllburn were
proffered enthusiastic congratulations tor
their noble efforts.
M0RRISIN DEFENSE IS NEXT
State Ilcsls After Closlna; Testimony
lTlth nealtal of the Killing
of Mrs. Castle.
ELDORADO, Kan., Juno 19. After only
two days of testimony-taking the state in
the case ot Josste Morrison, on trial tor tho
murder of Mrs. Olln Castle, rested this aft
ernoon. The defonse. It Is said, will spring a sur
prise In the Introduction ot new evidence
not adduced at the first trial. When Mlis
Morrison took tbo stand In December last
to tell In her own defense of the fatal quar
rel' with her rival, she testified that Mrs.
Castle had called her to the 'houso and
started the trouble. At that tlme'an affida
vit of A. J. Morgan, a peddler, who swore
that he beard Mrs. Castle rap on the door
as Miss Morrison was passing her house
and call her in, was presented. Morgan
could not be found, but It Is uow said the
defense has located him and will put him
on the stand. Other now witnesses may ba
Introduced by the defense on the plea ot
self-evidence.
The evidence today consisted ot the
deathbed statement of Mrs, Castle, In which
she accuses Miss Morrison of calling upon
her unbidden, beginning a quarrel and then
slashing her with a razor, and the Intro
duction of witnesses who described tho
scene at the Castle houso on the morning
ot the fight.
Tho state today began Its presentation to
tha Jury of evidence bearing directly on
tha killing of Mrs. Castle. The
recitation of the death struggle In
the Castle home on the morning ot June
3:'. a year ago, between the two women
caused the crowd of spectators In the court
room to look on In breathless silence. It
also had its effect on tbo prisoner. First
the dying declaration of Mrs. Cattle, which
I
stated that Jessie Morrison bad called at
tho Cattle house, opened a quarrel over a
letter from Mr. Castle, and then attacked
her with a razor.
While Attorney Leydlg, for the state,
read the statement slowly and Impres
sively the members of the Jury did not
take their eyes from his face. Miss Mor
rison's breast heaved and she gulped con
tinually. Sho held her fingers to her Hps
and rarely moved. Mrs. Emma II
Spangtcr, tho first person on the scene of
tho tragedy, told of hearing screams In tho
Cnitlo houso nnd, on running to tho scene,
ot seeing Mrs, .Castle, bleeding from
wounds on her throat and breast and her
clothing torn, lying on the floor, whllo
Jessie Morrison stood over her.
Mrs. Spangler testified to hearing these
words: "Get off Ot me, Jessie Morrison,
you are killing me." Later, and beforo en
tering the house, she looked through the
window, "I saw two women," she testified.
"One woman was lying on the floor and tho
other was bending over her. The one bend
ing over was Jessie Morrison. Miss Morri
son had her hands out over tho one on the
floor. She moved her hands quickly and
then crawled nround to the feet ot Mrs.
Castle and sat there. Mrs. Castle raised
part way up and motioned toward tho door.
I saw the blood over her clothing. It was
saturated."
Mrs. Spangler went on to tell how she at
tracted the attention of another neighbor,
Mrs. Mobcrly. and they both entored thn
house, and of taking Miss Morrison from
the scene. Mrs. Spangler continued: "I
said, 'Woman, what have you dono?' She
said she had killed Mrs. Castle and would
kill mo. 'I cut her all to pieces with a
razor,' eh said."
Mrs. Moberly and half a dozen other wit
nesses who followed corroborated the testi
mony of Mrs. spangler. .Only testimony
pertaining to the actual killing was permit
ted by tho court. T. A. Kramer, making
tho statement on behalf of Miss Morrison
this afternoon, said that It would be shown
that she killed Mrs. Castle In eelf-detonse
and that tho latter never gave tip hope of
life and that therefore tiro dying declaration
Is not valid.
MAY GO TO THE JURY TODAY
Defense In the Hnrker Trlnl Has Said
Ahont All There Is to
Sny.
NEW YORK. Juno 19. The fate of
Thomas O. Barker, on trial at Jersey City,
N. J., for the shooting of Rev. John Keller,
may go to tho Jury tomorrow. The de
fense bad practically flnUhcd whon tho
court rose this evening. It Is not thought
Prosecutor Erwln will take long In rebut
tal. Barker and his wife wero upon tho
stand today. Barker was called to the wit
ness stand on tho opening of court to com
plcto his testimony and In reply to ques
tions of his counsel' ho began to dcsorlbe
his movements on February 3, tho morning
of the shooting. Ho said he left homo to
buy a newspaper. As ho ncared tho corner
of Beach Btreot and Midland avenue he aald
ho met Mr. Keller on Beach street, about
rorty rcet from tho corner. Keller stopped
and said, "Good morning, Mr, Barker."
Hero the witness straightened up In his
chair and continued: "I roplled to Keller
nnd said: You' d d villain, you outraged
my wife,' ond I then"
"I object, I object, stop, stop," shouted
County Prosecutor Erwln.
Tho court ruled not to Allow further tes
timony on this point and then Barker
started to tell what happenod after the
shooting. He said lio Jumped on a car and
went to the town hall at Kearney, where
he surrendered himself.
Barker statcdAhat be1 went alone to tho
town hall, which- ;.was in contradiction of
testimony for the , state that 'he was ac-.
companled by a Mr Buckley, a neighbor:
The witness started to tell what a sleep
less night he had spent beforo the shooting
and about his nervous and excited condi
tion. He was promptly stopped by the
prosecutor and the objection was sustained.
Barker's testimony showed tha passing
of words with Keller before tho shooting
and contradicts tho statements of the latter
yesterday when on tho witness stand. Bar
ker continued his testimony under examina
tion by his counsel and contrived to mako
several allusions to tho wrong which Keller
Is alleged to have committed. In several
Instances objections by the prosecuting at
torney were sustained. Witness detailed a
quarrel bo had with Keller because the lat
ter had borrowed $83 from Mr. Barker In
April, 1899, the last of which was paid In
March, 1900. Previous to that Incident the
relations of Keller with witness .and his
wife had been very friendly; they frequently
bicycled together and witness presented
Keller with a bicycle. Witness said ho did
not know until January that his wife had
left Mr. Keller's church.
Barker then described what took place
at the house whero Mr. Keller was lying
when tho witness was taken there, from
Kearney. Ho said taht be asked Keller In
a low voice If he knew him. Mr. 'Keller
was unable to reeognlzo him. Barker went
over again the story of his meeting with
Keller on the morning ot the 'shooting. He
saw Keller coming up Beech street. "I
waited for 1:1m," said Barker, "because I
wanted to spcalr to him. He was coming
toward me."
Barker said he knew the time Keller
usually went to church Sunday mornings,
but. he bad no intention ot meeting him
when he left bis houso that morning. The
revolvar.whlch he bought a month before
was In his overcoat pocket. He Ored four
shots at Keller, standing In front of him
all the time. He did not shoot while Keller
was lying on the ground. Tho second and
third ' shots were fired while Keller was
turning around and saying, "Don't, don't."
Until bo saw the blood flowing from tho
wound In Keller's head, Barker said he
was In a semi-dazed condition; then he
realized what bo had done and gave him
self up. He had felt Justified In what he
had done, but ho said, "I regret the whole
thing and Its cause." Barker said his wife
did not know he had the revolver.
An employe of tbo Commercial Cable
company In tho same department with Bar
ker testified that for some time prior to
the shooting of Keller, Barker had ap
peared abstracted and several times this
witness bad to find fault with Barker for
errors In his work.
Mrs. Mary Barker, wife of the defend
ant, was called to the stand. Sho said
she had been married to Barker for four
teen years and had known Keller about ten
yjars. Sho said Keller was In the habit of
visiting their home four or Ave times u
week and during these times ho was
friendly with them. She said she remem
bered April 9, 1899, and an occurrence nt
her home on that day In which Mr. Keller
was concerned. Before Mrs. Barker could
say anything further tho county prosecutor
stopped her. and objected to her giving
further testimony In reference as to what
occurred at this time, on the ground that
It was Irrelevant. This was the dato on
which It Is alleged by Mrs. Barker that
Mr. Keller assaulted her at her home.
Continuing, Mrs. Barkor said that at differ
ent times she had loaned money to Mr.
Kellor In sums of from 110 to :o without
her husband knowing it. She said she had
loaned him In all about 183. Mrs. Bar
ker was questioned as to her connection
with the Trinity mission, of which Mr.
Keller was secretary.'
"Why did you sever your connection with
the mission?"
"Because Mr. Keller outraged me," was
the answer' without hesitancy. The prose
cutor objected vigorously, but Judge Blair
let question and answer stand.
After that Mr. Van Winkle asked many
questions as to tho details of the occur
rence referred to, but the court would
not permit the witness to answer.
BOER MEETING IN LONDON

LONDON, June 19. Thousands of people
began collecting outsldu of Queen's hall two
hours before the advertised time of the
pro-Boer meeting held thero tonight. When
the doors wero finally opened the pressure
ot tho surging mob was so great that
many people fainted. Thero was consid
erable disturbance and windows wero
broken In during tho attempts made by
persons without tickets to gain admis
sion. Somo of these wore expelled. In
spite ot tho vigilance ot the promoters of
the meeting, many Jingoes gained nri en
trance to the hall, which was crammed
from floor to celling. Much hooting, min
gled with cheers, greeted the delegates
on their arrival, and during the evening
the delivery ot speeches was attended by
some difficulty.
Henry Labouchcre presided at the meet
ing and besides J, W. Saner, commissioner
of public works, Cspc Colony, John Dillon,
leader of tho nationalist party, David
Lloyd George, Welsh nationalist; Jnmes
Kler-Hnrdle, socialist, and Sir Wilfrid
Lawson were present.
Illviil Demnnslrntlon.
During the meeting fully 10,000 Jingoes
gathered outside tho Queen's hall on Regent
street, blookcd traffic and necessitated re
lays of policemen to keep a semblance ot
order In tho crowd. Several men mounted
the parapet of the Langham hotel ond wav
ing union Jacks, propoocd resolution
against the pro-Boer agitation, which they
declared to have been carried when the
meeting In Queen's hall terminated.
Tho usual speeches were made nnd tho
usual resolutions wero carried amid much
commotion and excitement. Tho resolu
tions included nn amendment tor the com
plete Independence of tho Boor republics,
proposed by Baron Battcrsca, for tho rad
icals, which did not meet with tho approval
of the Labouchcro party. Tho meeting
onded with the singing of "Tho Marseil
laise." J. X. Merrlman, former treasurer of Capo
Colony and now a representative of tho
Afrikander bund In England, wrote a let
ter to tho promoters of tho meeting apolo
gizing for his absonce.
Several collisions occurred between tho
.crowd outsldo the hall and tho police, nnd
tho latter had difficulty In handling the tfs'
semblagc. No casualties were reported.
The Dally Mall nsscrts that tho promoters
of the Queen's hall mooting secured tho
services of 200 or 300 "stalwarts" as root
ers. "This gang of foreign rufllans wero found
Inside tho hall," says the Dally Mall, "to
keep order and eject tho malcontents. Tho
stnlwarts wore drawn from the low class
clubs' in Soho. Many of them were armed
with sticks, broomhandlos nnd knui'tlc
dusters, and thoy acted with unrestrained
violence In excluding royalists and throw
ing out undeslrablo persons."

TRANSIT BILLS ARE PASSED
Get Through Pennsylvania Legisla
ture After Stirring L'p Ex
citing Scene.
HARRISBURO, Pa June 19. The house
parsed finally on special orders today the
two bills supplemental to tho rapid transit
acts signed by tho governor recently. These
bills were Introduced and passed In the
senate last week and they now go to the
governor for his aclon. The one constitut
ing the governor, aecretary of state and at
torney genera a, board to pass upon appli
cations for rapid transit franchises was at
tacked by several antl-admlnlatratlon re
publicans and democrats. In tho course of
a speech Mr. Coray of Luzerne, a repub
lican lcMcf" of what Is known as tho "In
surgent" element, .said:
"Two weeks ago the odlce of secretary ot
the commonwealth presented a scene which
will go, down In. history. Thero were a lot
of hungry parasites and a lot of million
aires present In obedience to the orders
they had received to raid tho treasury.
They carried away ynluablo franchises and
now It Is proposed to prevent others from
getting slmjlar favora by placing the power
to grant them In tho hands of a board."
Mr. Coray said tho peoplo were opposed to
the rapidity with w.hlch tncge bl)u were
passed by the legislature. "The time will
come,". ho concluded, ''when the peoplo will
swep your Infernal machine off tho face of
tho earth'
Mr. Hall, a republican of Allegheny, said
this legislation Is a very poor climax to
what has already been enacted.
Mr. Maync. democrat, of Lehigh, charac
terized tho legislation as Infamous and pro-
. against us passage. He said this
legislature had become a stench and by
word to. the public and that Its only chance
to redeem itself was by defeating these
bills. y) t . v
)'. Mi?-,ftlfl'-?Pbl)can of Lancaster,
said in defense ot the measure that many
applications were made for charters that
wero to be used for purely speculative pur
poses and this bill Is to prevent auch spec
ulation In charters.,
Tho bill passed by a vote of 105 to 65, re
ceiving. In Its favor only two more than the
requisite number of votes. Tho counting of
a member not present as voting "ayo" was
challenged, put the speaker said the vote
did not affect the result and no further ac
tion was 'taken..
