CINCINNATI, June 15. Two Incidents
today Ftlrred the emotions of the specta
tors at the trial of Edgar S. , Cooket
charged with embexxjlng 124.000 from th
Big Four rallroe 1.
Mra. Jeanette Stewart Ford, on the stand
for cross-examination, and Mra. Edgar B
Cooke, wife of the defendant, were tha
central figures of the first incident
When Mrs. Cooke, who has steadfastly
stood by her husband, took a seat at hi
side there was a murmur of expectancy.
Intensified when Mra. Ford's invalid chatr
was wheeled In front of the Jury, but
there waa no indication on tha wife'
countenance that she felt anything bit
pity for the other woman.
The second Incident was preceded by th
entrance of Mrs. Ford' daughter, aged 4
years. The child ran to her mother Juat
as the latter said: - -
"There Is my daughter, Jeanette, and aha
1 Cooke's child."
The witness burst Into sobs a she mad
this confession, and tears streamed down
the faces of Jurymen and spectators. . The
attorney for tha prosecution, the Judge
on th bench and the newspaper writer
were visibly affected.
So shaken was Mrs. Ford by the incident
that she was removed from the room. Her
physician declared she could not stand
further questioning and court adjourned
until afternoon.
Under the cross-examination that pro
ceded adjournment, Mrs. Ford admitted
having shot and wounded Cooke, of having
had him arrested for assault in Chicago,
and later, for nonsupport of their child.
Letters that had passed between the two
were read. In many of them Cooke had
referred to his wife aa "O. H.," which, Mrs.
Ford testified, meant "old hag."
Mrs. Ford concluded her direct testimony
yesterday and the defense waa ready to
begin the . cross-examination. Her physi
cian, however, objected to her being
further questioned, saying she was testify
ing at th risk of her life. Court thereupon
gdjourned for tho day. -. - , -
Fourteen witnesses have bee subpoenaed
. Fpurteee witnesses hava bees subpoenaed
by tha defease to appear today. Most of
them either live or hava lived' in , the
vicinity . of Sayler Park, a suburb of this
city, where Cooke resided while employed
by tho Big Four.
A subpoena ha 'been' Issued' for th'
manager of the safe depositdepartment of
the Union Savings Bank and Trust com
pany of this city. He waa ordered 'to ap
pear with reoords showing Mrs. Ford's ap
plication for a safety deposit box on August
8. 101. -
In . her cross-examination Attorney
Charles W. Baker for the defense led Mrs.
Ford back to her earlier career, and the
name of Frank Comstock, who preceded
Waniner as local treasurer of the Big
Four, was again brought into the trial.
"Who told you Comstock was short V
asked Baker.
"Cooke told me."
"How well did you know Comstock T
"Well, a bit more than friendly." .
"Isn't it true that you and Comstock
went on a two weeks' spree, and that whll
on it he told you of his shortage r'
"Maybe he did."
Early in the questioning Mrs. Ford de
nied that she had staved off trouble with
relatives of her former husband by threat
ening to expose a family skeleton.' ' Once
or twice she declined to reply to queries
touching Intimately on her life previous to
her appearanc on th hotiaon of th Big
Four and th oourt supported her In this.

DUEL BETWEEN TWO ITALIANS
Tony Banaerl Finds His Consln at
Hooma vf Florence Brook Early
Today and Desperate
Battle Ensues.
Tony Banderi and Florence Brooks are
dead . and Frank Banderi la aeriously
wounded aa the result of a revolver duel
between tho two Italians when Tony
found his cousin at the woman's rooms at
an early hour Thursday.
The rooms at Martin's f.at, at 703 North
Eighteenth street, gave evidence of a des
perate battle. The wall paper In the twe
rear rooms Is blood-spattered.
An Incoherent letter found on the dresser
In the bod room is believed, by tba polio
to be the 'last expression of the woman
when told by one' of the men that aha was
to.be killed. The letter Is as folio wo:
OMAHA. Neb., Jun 13. Dear'Sir: Please
rent -me my future. Waa born In 1&-S8, 31
In December. My name la Florence Brook.
Thank you for 703 North Eighteenth. Your
kindness. Omaha, Neb. Flat weat aide.
The' letter was enclosed In an envelope,
tddreaaed to Mme. Irene, 13, Second atreet,
Kewanee, 111.
According to statements of persons resid
ing in rooms adjacent to the place, Frank
Banderi came to the woman's rooms about
1 o'clock In th morning and his cousin
soon followed.
duarrel Abont Woman.
The. dead man was employed In a local
carriage factory. Phlladelphl Mllano, who
lived with the two coualnt in au adajacent
house, said that the men had been quar
reling about the woman Wednesday night.
A M caliber revolver was found lying near
the left hand of the dead man and a .32
caliber weapon half way between him and
his cousin, Frank, who lay where he had
fallen In a corner of the kitchen.
All five bullets In the larger caliber gun
had been discharged and only ons had been
shot from ths .33 caliber revolver. A post
mortem examination will probably clear
the myatsry as to whether Tony came upon
his cousin and the woman with the two
guns, as Frank Banderi says, or whether
each was armed. .Frank declarea that he
waa not armed.
. In a aeml-coherent statement by Frank
It was gleaned that Tony had gone to the
Brooks woman's apartments, demanded her
snd Frank to dress and as the woman rose
shot her In ths hesd, then opening firs
upon his cousin, who ran from the room to
the kitchen. Frank received severe bullet
wounds In th back of tha bead and
through the left shoulder blade.

Th two cousins had bsen quarreling over
th ' woman for several months. An un
usually heated argument ensued early laat
night according to Joe Banderi, brother of
Frank. Th woman at on time kept houss
for th two cousins In th rear of 707 North
Eighteenth street. She bad bsen living
alone In the apartmcnta where she was
murdered for ths last six months.
Frank Banderi, the Injured man. Is a
barber with a shop at 60s North Sixteenth
street- His cousin wss employed as
machinist at ths Union Pacific shops.
Frank Banderi was removed to St.
Joseph's hospital. He talks In a rambling
manner of the tragedy and his version of
the affair Is very much disconnected. Tha
doctors say h may possibly recover,
although the chances were said to be
against him.

WASHINGTON. June IS.-Joseph F.
Pmlth. head of the Mormon church, hn
b(n summoned to appear before th house
Pugsr trust Investigating Committee to tetl
what he knows of the formation of th
Vtah-Idaho Sugar company.
Ronator Smoot of Utah made n unsuc
cessful effort to have the Mormon president
excused, Insisting that Thomas R. Cuttler
of Salt Lake City could supply all the In
fer mnt ton desired from Mr. mith.
The committee decided that Mr. Smith
should appear In person.
"Senator Pmoot of Utah asked me to
submit to th committee a request that
Mr. Smith be excused from testifying he
fore the committee on the ground that
Thomas R. Cutler knows everything that
Mr. Smith ran possibly testify to and mora,
too," explained Chairman Hardwlck to th
committee. "I told Mr. Smoot that whll
the list of witnesses hsd been arranged by
a subcommittee and there had been no
formal vote, I did not feel like taking th
authority on myself to do It. My own view
Is, considering the allegation In the bill
filed by tho government that Joseph F.
Smith 1 material witness h Is on of
the two or three men that the district at
torney of New York and the attorney gen
eral of the United States hs v alleged war
responsible for the formation of the Utah
Idaho combination." ,

j A resolution adopted In 1898 by th direc
tors of the American Sugar Refining com
pany, authorizing their committee to fix
the price of sugsr and, to buy the output of
"outside refineries at terms to be fixed at

minute' books of the company. Representa
tive Madison had the resolution read as a
preliminary to his examination of Lowell
M. Palmer, former director of th company,

of Charles R. Helke, former secretary of
the compsny.
Helke on tho Stand.
Charles H. Helke, tor years secretary of
the American Sugar Refining company,
was again a witness before th committee
today. In beginning examination Chair
man Hardwlck told Mr.- Helke he wanted
to Inquire Into his personal knowledge and
not his official relation with the American
Sugar Refining company.
"Didn't you have at th time any Idea
of -the purpose of the merger of th
sugar refineries ?" Mr. Hardwlck asked.
"I knew less then now," replied Mr.
Helke.
"Well, from your present knowledge what
would you say woo the purpose?"
"A large company can do business at a
reduced coBt."
"And there Is less competition?" sug
gested Mr. Hardwlck.
"Probably." Mr. Helke explained to tho
committee thst when he appealed before
th grand Jury in New York th district at
torney notified him on what subjects ha
would be examined.
Not Prepared to Answer.
"That haa not been done in this cas
and I am not so well prepared to answer
your questions," he added.
Still relying on ths witness' personal
knowledge, Chairman Hardwlck aBked Mr.
Helke for his estimate of the holdings of
President H. C. Havemeyer In the Amer
ican Sugar company at the time lie
swayed ths company.
"Oh, 100 or 00 shares in hi own name,"
waa the reply.
"Did his family hold more?"
"Probably 2,000 shares."
"Did Havemeyer ever unload any of hla
stock?"
"I wouldn't say 'unload;' I would say
'sold.' He never owned much in his own
nam, anyway."
Mr. Hslk offered at one point In hi
testimony to tell about his Indictment
growing out of tha so-called sugar frauds.
Mr. Hardwlck stopnsd him. axDlalnine that
j another committee (on expenditures in the
Department of Justice) probably would ask
him to appear before It before he got out
of town.
Hetk a Free Trader.
Mr. Helke's concluding testimony stirred
up a discussion of tariff policies.
"I believe that each country thould pro
duce what tt can produce cheapest," sUd
Mr. Helke. "I am a free trader."
