The state rested this afternoon with
tho testimony of George Jamison, a de-
tcetlve, who told of setting the prisoner's
confidence. The defendant had said to.
him at one time, he swore: "Don't got
mixed up with a woman. You nover can
tell what you would do in a fit of tem
per." On cross-examination the witness ad
mitted that the prisoner had nover
made any direct reference to tho cast
of Mrs. Turner. While shadowing the
prisoner, Jamison testified he overheard
him quarreling with his wife, declaring
that "he had killed one woman and
might kill another."
The .prisoner's wife sat by him at tho
-trtallt6day. ....
TOMS RIVER, N. J., Dec. 13. Interest
In tho Moriarity murder trial increased
today ns the time approached for the de
fense to reveal its theory. The fact that
the prisoner, Joseph Mortality, alias
'William J. Indian, has tho aid of a
prominent Lakewood family, supported
the rumor that tho attorneys retained by
his wealthy backers would present soma
unexpected evldenco to prove that he had
no part in the killing of Mrs. Carollno
C. Turner.
Mrs. Jasper Lynch of Lakewood, who Is
taking personal charge of tho defense,
said her only motive was to save an In
nocent man, who ehe .believes, is the
victim of a conspiracy. Today she de
clared that 8ho was not responsible for
the report that Mrs. Turner was run
down end killed by a party of wealthy
nutomoblllsts, who carried the body Into
the brush and then permitted suspicion
to rest on Moriarity.
The report was discussed, however, by
the crowd that attended tho trial.
There is conflicting evidence as to the
cause of Mrs. Turner's death. The body
was found with the face half burled in
sand and wounds on tho face and head
that might have been caused by blows
from a heavy club. Death, It Is con
tended, might havo resulted either from
the blows or from suffocation.
Court was in session until 10 o'clock
last night and this morning the prosecu
tion continued its evidence.

to put matter In tho hands of children
which the government bands from the

"Instead of the Union Pacific trying to

the minority stockholders Is really tho

the other stockholders hod received. The
attempted hold-up Is that these fow
minority stockholders are trying to. com

"True It Is that the little lino paid dlvl
