sel for Accused Says
PLACES BLAME ON OTHERS
It was customary for empleyes of the
Newtown branch of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railway te disregard er:
ders en certain occasions.
.. This .was the defense offered by Theo Thee Theo
'dere Lnrift Bean, "counsel for" Charles
Evnns, conductor, and Walter Teakle,
engineer of train Ne. 151, which col
lided with another train December 5,
causing the death of twenty-seven per
sons. Evans and Yenkle are en trial
before Judge Swartz, of Norrlstewn,
charged with criminal negligence.
Mr. Bean tried te show, that scvernl
station agents were negligent regarding
el'dcrs en the day of the wreck.
'De you take the stand that If veu
can show that ether empleyes were neg
ligent, you can put this in as n defense,
JSn- n"kcd 'TudK Swartz.
Ne,, said Mr. Bean, "our defense
1 .X we wwciiet negligent at nil and
that they caused the accident."
"I insist," said the Judge, "that you
de net try te show that ether people
helped te cause the accident."
"We contend that ether peVsens were
alone responsible for tne accident," said
Mr. Benn.
"All the Commonwealth has te show
f.W y?u People were negligent."
My clients neglected no order under
tne method under which the Newtown
branch was operated," replied Bean.
Yeu arc confusing the case and the
jury," held the Judge. "Yeu are try
ing te put the blarae en some one clee,
and then you wjll try te say that be
cause some one caused the accident you
are therefore excused. That is net the
'w, and I will he instruct the jury."
William F. Eckcrt. superintendent
of the New Yerk division of the Read
ing Railway, swore that Evnns admitted
nt the Reading Terminal that he forget
about train Ne. 150, which was speed
ing west from Newtown.
Mr. Eckert's statement was the first
disclosure of the alleged admission by
Evans.
Mr. Bean objected te the superin

Feb. 27 Set for Trial of Weman
Who Killed Husband. and
Girl Stenographer
FACE AND VOICE SHOW
STRAIN OF CONFINEMENT
In hhaklng accents Catharine Rosier
replied "Net guilty" this morning te
Indictments charging her with the mur
der of her husband and bis stenographer,
Mildred C. Reckltt.
She made the same reply in the same
voice te ether indictments accusing her
of voluntary and involuntary man
slaughter. 'Mrs. Rosier shot her husband, Oscar,
and Miss Reckltt In Mr. Hosier's ab
vertlslng office at 1314 Walnut street
en January 21. '
Mrs. Rosier was taken from Moya Meya
menslng Prison in a taxlcab-te City
Hall today that she might make her
plea. She reached the Hall shortly after
10 o'clock and was placed for the time!
in one rff the ccllroems there. An hour !
Inter she was led downstairs into the
court of Judge Rogers.
Attired in Heavy Mourning
As she passed through the doorway
en the arm of ber chief attorney, Jehn
R. K. Scott, the bailiff! at the rail was
shouting :
"Bring Catharine Roslcrte the bar
ei' the court!"
Mrs. Rosier came forward steadily,
raisin one hand ns she did se te threw
I barn the heavy veil of mourning that
neu covered ncr features. There was
a Might shuffle as every one In the
courtroom turned and strained for a
signt or tier
.Hc.r.?re"I '"? sKwed d?e? p-'
ler, her eyes were deeply circled, and
there were hollows in her cheeks that
had net 'been there when a few weeks
age she steed before Magistrate Ren
sbaw in the Central Police Court.
As she advanced te the bar, n court
officer stepped te her left. Judge
Rogers leaned forward en his desk and
regarded her quizzically. The bailiff, an
elderly man, peered at her ever his
glasses and then lowered his eyes te
the bill of Indictment In his' hand and
began reading in a slew, distinct voice.
Listens te Formal Charges
"Catherine Rosier, hearken .te an
indictment "
Theyeung prisoner half lowered her
cyelldsand listened 'with an attempt nt
stoicism.'
The bailiff, seeming te feel that be
had an occasion te rise te, went en,
pausing at the periods and rounding the
commas almost oraterically.
At the words "One Catherine Rosier,
married woman," the willful chin began
te quiver slightly. Mrs. noslerlnnde
an effort te be calm, but when the
bailiff repeated lingering!-
"Did feloniously, willfully and with
malice aforethought " she gave a
stifled sob. At the repetition of the
name Oscar Rosier she wept outright.'
At the end the bailiff peered at he,r
again ever .his spectacle.
"Hew say you, Catherine Rosier,"
he asked in a voice that had at least n
simulation of curiosity, "guilty or net
guilty?"
Mrs. Rosier sobbed again, "Net
guilty." She cried the words In spite
of herselfc
"Hew de you wish te be tried?"
continued the bailiff, his voice new
simulating solicitude.
Prompted new by Mr. Scott, Mrs.
Rosier replied weepinglj :
"By Ged and my ceiif i ."
"Ged grant you a safe i1 livery," the
bailiff responded with pious legality.
He shuffled the papers and began
rending the Indictment charging the
murder of the elrl stenographer. The
prisoner's grief seemed new te give
way te tiredness. She winced a little,
however, when the words "feloniously,
willfully and maliciously" were recited
again, and when there was some at
tempt te describe in legnl verbiage the
crime that the Stnte alleges. Then her
head drooped and she listened natiently.
Demurs at Early Trial
Maurice Spelscr, tiie Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, who has been assigned
te prosecute, asked of Judge Rogers
that trial be fixed at an early dnte.
When Mr. Scott made demur, Judge
Rogers Bald:
"There has been such public clamor
against the tardiness of justice nt pres
ent. There has been such promlnence
given te this case- that I think It Is
owed te the public te set an early date
for trial. I will make the date Feb
ruary 27 that is, a week from next
Monday."
' Mr. Scott said nethlne. and then
the Judge suggested that he would like
te hear Mr. Scott "en n metter con
nected with the case" that had been
brought te his attention.
Meantime Mrs. Rosier hud been led
out of the courtroom te u cell up-
'etalrs. Mr. Scott replied te the Judge
that the matter concerned n motion tnnt
he was net yet prepared te make. He
wanted time, he said, te discuss the
subject with William T. Cenner, his
associate.
"It would b much better," said
Judge Rogers, "If we could thresh the
matter out new. Mr. Cenner is In
the courtroom somewhere. 1 saw him
just a moment age."
Mr. Scott then decided te withheld a
proposed motion te quash the indict
ment for the present at least.
Before Mrs. Rosier was returned te
Meyamenslng, Nick Brune, the deputy
sheriff In whose custody she was, sent
te Bread Street Station for an extensive
meal for her.
Since the day when she was taken
te Bread and Poplar streets for a last
