Machen, the Groff brothers and the Lorenzs on an indictment charg ing conspiracy to defraud t'he gov ernment in connection with the sale of letterbox fasteners, came Thurs i «hi.V just before the usual hour for ad journment. Throughout the day bank : officials had been on the stand testi fying concerning various checks and drafts which passed between 1). 1!. OO a year had managed to make $20,- 000 a year. This brought forth a storm of protest from counsel for the defense, who appealed to the court to let the defendant. Machen, be tried on only one charge at a time. Washington, Jan. 2.'!. —In the postal trial Friday several witnesses were led through a line of questioning by the district attorney, most of which was for the purpose of showing a per sonal interest on the part of Machen regarding the introduction of the lirotf fastener. After counsel for the defense had touched on the state ment made at Thursday's session by Mr. Conrad that Machen on a salary of $.1,5()0 a year had managed to make ] $20,000 a year, Mr. Conrad withdrew | his remark, saying be would not con vict, the defendants on any statement I that fell unguardedly from his lips. THE BECHTEL TRIAL. Kordet Iflood JY»I Ilerlnrod Correct by ICxperl I'll > alt-la iih lOiUstclii't j Slory. Allentown, Pa., Jan. 39. —The : chain of circumstantial evidence j which the commonwealth is attempt ing to forge around Mrs. Catherine | Beehtel, charged with being an aeces ! sory after the fact in the murder of | her daughter Mabel, was greatly I strengthened Monday by the wit i nesses called by the prosecution. J And, coupled with this, what little I was left of the fair name of the dead | girl was completely wiped out bv the ! testimony of Alois Eckstein, who said | he was willing to overlook her faults and make the girl his wife. Eck- I stein's story of the intimacy of him ! self and other men with Mabel lieeh j tel was shocking. Dr. John Lear, professor of biology I at Muhlenberg College, who on Mon- I day testified that the stains on arti | clcs taken from the Beehtel. home j were made by human blood, was | again on the witness stand. Counsel j for the defendant tried to discredit ! the biological or Bordet test of de | tenninting human blood which Dr. Lear had employed, lint the cross-ex amination failed to shake the direct ' testimony of the witness. { Allentown, Pa., Jan. 22.—Mrs. ! Catherine lieo.htel took the witness j stand in her own defense Thursday. ! She was on the stand for four and a half hours ami told a straightforward story. She positively denied that her i son Tom killed Mabel, or that she had guilty knowledge of the crime. : Mrs. Beehtel is a Pennsylvania Ger i man and the entire proceedings were i carried on in the Pennsylvania Ger man dialect.
