Arguments in Murder Caseto Close This Afternoon
GRAFT CHARGED BY DEFENSE
Lawyer Claims Doctors SapprcxnedFacts in Their Autopsy on GraceDrown Body Sheriff Gets
of Plan to Lynch the PrisonerIn Case lie Is Acquitted
Herkimer N Y Dec S With the district attorney but half concluded in hissumming up for the prosecution theGillette trial was adjourned tonight untiltomorrow mornme JVhen he will con-
clude and the justice will charge the juryIt Is not thought tonight that the case
will get to the jury before the middle oftomorrow afternoon
Great throngs surrounded the courthouse alt day and the local militia wasprepared to answer riot call Duringthe day Sheriff Richards received severalletters informing him that armed menIn nearby towns were ready to come toHerkimer and take the law into their ownhands unless Gillette is found guilty
Former Senator Mills took the entireday to present the case of the defense Itwas an ingenious masterful marshalingof the evidence to show that Grace Browncommitted suicide Nearing the close ofhis address Senator Mills turned sud-denly to the prosecutor and in highpitched voice n ade a sweeping attack onthe conduct of the States case whichhe said had been unfair and dishonest
Doctors Suppressed FactsHe hotly assailed the medical experts
who had conducted tho autopsy and
saidIfever in the history of this coun-
try the graft that IB going on to investi-gated WHIM of these doctors will figurein it I charge It and I charge it boldlythat some of the live doctors and I knowevery one of them left out of tho reportsomething which should have been In itThey left out of that statement somethingwhich would have redounded to thatboys credit
Why do I say this The very parrotlike way in which those doctors repeatedthe same words indicated that the storytold had been conned and prepared in or-
der that it might lit in as it were in thiscase Dr Smith admitted that they hadgotten together on a certain Sunday tomake their storks agree I hereby makethat charge gentlemen and I will notretract it until I am compelled by a high-er power to do so
1 have served as district attorney ofthis county for a sixyear term and Inever knew an autopsy in which the doetors old not preserve the record andbring them to be shown to thejury
Culls Autopsy FraudBvery hi this courtroom who heard
those doctors testify concerning the notesknew there was some fraud connectedwith the autopsy
The bruise on her head he accountedfor by saying that the boat lest turnedover suddenly as she jumped and thatthe opposite gunwale from which she hadthrown herself had struck her on thehEed causing the Mack sad spotThe blood which said to be
it he argued was a fabrication ofthe States medical witnesses
The hair which had been found caughtunder one of the cleats of tho boat heaccounted for by the possibility that thegirt might have come up under the sootafter she had gone down
District Attorney Ward started to sumup just before the court adjourned Heass white with anger at charges ofthe opposing counsel and declared thatMills had made bold and vicious misstatements of the facts
Charges Defense with TrickeryThe whole defense of this case shout-
ed Ward has been one of trick andIt is very evident that the inten-
tion of counsel is to mislead some of thejurymen with statements put deliberatelyin the mouths of witnesses I say his de-
sign is not an honest one I am the leastconcerned in what your verdict may be 1
dont care a cent what it is I am notafraid of my record and to have it
Counsel has told you of graftThere has been no graft If the doctorshave been paid by the State so has thejudge so have you and so has the coun-sel the defense been paid by the StateThe doctors performed the autopsy In thecase before they knew a murder had beencommitted and before the defendant hadbeen arrested
District Attorney Ward will probablycomplete his summing up and the casewill go to the jury by night
The militia will be held in readiness toanswer any call of the public prosecutor
WOMAN KIDNAPS HUSBAND
Inmate of Asylum Heir to Fortune in Germany
MSddletown N Y Dec sensa-tional kidnapping wherein an Insane in-
mate of the MIddletown State Hospitalwas spirited away from that Institutionand has disappeared without leaving atrace behind was made public in this citytoday The kidnapping took place lastWednesday and so well bad the facts inthe case been kept secret by the hospitalauthorities that the first knowledge ofthe affair leaked out today The patientkidnapped was Emil Martini a wellknown painter and decorator of this cityMr Martini had been cynflned in theMicdietown State Hospital for about sixmonths being afflicted with generalparesis-
A short time word was receivedfrom Berlin Germany that by the deathof a relative Martini had inherited a fortune Martinis wife immediately madeefforts to procure the release of her husband from the State Hospital She wasnot successful On Wednesday last Mar-tini with several other patients wastaken out for a walk As the groupreached that part of the grounds near theroadway a closed carriage was drivenrapidly up to the wall the door flew openand a woman beckoned to Martini Thelatter leaped away from the attendantclimbed the stone wall was pulled in thecarriage by the woman and the coachdashed away
The woman Jt is believed was Martiniswife and there is no doubt that she plan-ned kidnapping of her husband
Poor Pipes Cause Water LossOwing to defective water pipes near
the Soldiers Home there has beendaily waste of 100000 gallons of water atthat institution An Investigation by employes of the water department showedthat only 100000 gallons daily were beingused while 250000 gallons were beingpiped In W A Macfarland superintend-ent of the water department said thewaste will be stopped

JAPANESE MUDDLESHOWS NEW PHASE
corrnNUED PJKMI FIRST PAGE
of all the embarrassment and that whilewar is not to be bought of unpleasantfriction must continue for some time tosay nothing of the probability of theUnited States being placed in an extreme-ly awkward attitude before the world
Pacific Coast Senators andtake a much more view
of Japanese feeling over the San Fran-cisco school incident than is entertained-in the East or in administration circlesSenator Flint of California said yester-day he was surprised to find the senti-ment so decided in tho East
Our people are not excited said heThey are not expecting any serious trou-
ble to follow what has occurred If thesituation should become critical I feelsure that action Will be taken by theCallforna delegation and the State au-
thorities that will at once bring about adisposition of the school question whichwill satisfy sense of Justice
The best thing that can be done tobring about a settlement of the matter
Representative Kahn who comesfrom one of he San Francisco districts
1 to stop the agitation Our Californiapeople will work out the problem aloneand satisfactorily if they are permitted-to do so There an several phases of thesituation which people In the East do notthoroughly understand It is a race question There i no use trying to get aroundthat fact There Is more to it than aschool question After the fire we weresorely pressed for school room to accommodate children imagine then the re-sentment which our people naturally feltwhen they found the little ones crowdedout by full grown Japanese men occupy
the places of boyi and girls f eightand ten years of ag NaturaIy theschool board took action to segregatethem It fe probable that little wouldhave ben heard of the matter even thenhad it not been for the fact that the Ja-panese newspapers of which here are sixor eight in San Francisco not takenup the matter arid made complaints Theyare of the yellow variety most of themThey started the agitation and it wastheir action which aroused the Japaneseat home
After the Fire In FrlmcoAgain the people of San Francisco
found this situation confronting themafter tbe lire Hottsetf were at a premiumTenants who had been paying 60 a monthfor a residence In the best part of tIre cityfound themselves driven from homo byJapanese who came in and offered twoand three times as much rent as the whitepeople had been paying or were able topay Handsome residences they turnedInto immense Japanese boarding and lodg-ing houses with sixty seventy and ahundred tenants These Japanese board
houses were established in the bestpart of town and drove out the whiteresidents who were naturally indignantThe influx of Japanese since the fire henbeen at the rate of 16M a month Theysee business opportunities in the uptwlld
of the city and the tendency by thislarge Increase to Japanese population isto drive out the whites for reasons whichare apparent Altogether these conditionshave produced a race feeling which thepeople of San Francisco are seeking tocure
own opinion is that the affair willIn a short time adjust itself If we areleft alone Intelligent Japanese reallzathat we have the right to enaet laws for
own protection the same as theyhhave hi then own country and if thepopular clamor can be hushed there willbe no trouble
California Delegation to JlcetMr Kahn not believe there wiN
any action ea JapsQeeu matters in Con-gress There win be a meeting of the Cal-
ifornia delegation In a few days and themembers will act a unit in whateverdecision is reached regarding theircourse upon the subject If it is to be con-sidered by Congress
Other Pacific Coast members declaredthat while it was perhaps early to sayso they believed a Japanese exclusion actwas sure to come and with It the possi-bility of war The Jap who come oversaM one member who did not wish tospeak for publication are nearly allmechanics A Jap will cut open an Amer-ican shoe see how it is put together andset up shop as a cobbler invariably
the American shoemaker inthe same block In the Vaca Valley Japshave driven out all other labor in truckIns and fruit raising They are quicksnappy and naturally combative andcompetitive Our labor will not endurethem in multiplying numbers They arenow landing at the rate of lWO a monthDiplomacy may settle the question bygetting Japan to divert her emigrants toManchuria and Korea We might sellJapan the Philippines That might settleit Anything rather than to be overslaughed by them Our delegation metand discussed Japanese exclusion at theopening of this Congress RepresentativeMcKinley Introduced a bill providing forJapanese exclusion Everywhere In theEast that proposition was pronounced un-
called for and certainly premature Itis now hardly a year since that bill wasintroduced and sentiment for exclusion-
is growing more and more decided every-
daySnerleyn Dill Applies
Representative Sherley of Kentuckyintroduced a Mil yesterday which if
Into law may assist in settling theJapanese matter and similar questionsThe measure seeks to give the Federalcourts jurisdiction over cases wheretreaty rights are It providesthat if two or more persons conspire toinjure oppress threaten or Intimidateany person in the free exercise or enjoy-
ment of any right secured to him by theConstitution or Bylaws of the UnitedStates or because of his having exercised them they shall be fined not morethan 3000 or imprisoned not more thanten years
This provision is a modification of theRevised Statutes relating to conspiracyagainst any citizen by the substitutionof the words any person which ex-
tends the protection of the statute toforeigners living in the United States Itis asserted that the effect of such a measure would be to take out of the Statecourts many cases Involving the rights offoreigners
Miller Wires DenialThe State Department has received a
denial from Henry B Miller consul gen-
eral at Yokohama of an interview withhim which was published last week Inwhich he was made to predict war withJapan
His words attracted a great deal of at-
tention he being in such close touchwith the Japanese people and the StateDepartment called upon Mr Miller fpran explanation
