Rare Oriental Rugs, Carpets and Portieres BY THE WELL KNOWN HOUSE OF YARDUM BROTHERS & GO 218 Wyoming Ave. ISSi.E !1S- Wyoming Avenue given at the Academy of Music Friday night, the New York Herald says: "Scenery, vivid In Its realism of pic tures and perfect throughout in the clock-work machinery of its progress. 'The Span of Life' returns more power ful, more successful and more popular than ever. The audience that filled every available portion of the house, found vent In the upplause for their admiration, as curtain after curtain fell upon the highly sensational and thrilling bits of climatic action. The lighthouse on Collin Rocks on the Devonshire coast, with an ungry sea outside, the fog bells ringing In the distance, and a ship with all sails set from out the frog comes sailing up the ledge, is a bit of realism that leaves the spectator thrilled and astounded." II II II Wlliam Collier's success In legitimate comedy, while In no sense a surprise, has been one of the dramatic events of the season. The play, "A Back Num ber," having been written by Kidder, has caused Collier and Sol Smith ijits sell to be compared. This In Itself is a compliment, but Collier has Russell's drollness while there Is In addition a sparkle about his comedy which the elder uctor lacks. Collier will produce "A Buck Number" at the Acudemy of Music Saturday night. II II II "Blue Jeans" will be produced at the Academy of Music next Monday night by a competent company. The play de rives Its title from a substantial fabric of thut name, extensively loomed In southern Indiana. It Is dignified by an eminent rhapsodlflt who writes of "Blue Jeans'" thus: "Blue Is the color of hope, jeans the symbol of strength." The scenes of the play are laid In and about Rising' Sun, Indiana, a village on the Ohio river. In what Is familiarly known as the "Blue Jeans Deestrlct," and the characters are fulthful types of that locality. ii ii ;i This afternoon "True Irish Hearts" will be put on the bourds ut Davis' theater. It will be seen again tonight and tomorrow and Saturday afternoon and evenings. It is produced with the original New York company and new and elaborate scenery. OLD TIME COM EM'.

Of Stewart and Hart nothing need be said; they made their reputa tions years ago. , The piece Is one of those farclal comedies which amused oldtlme theater-goers, and In its day occupied the relative position of Hoyt's present time efforts.

"" " rj, -r Mm JUDGE H. M. EDWARDS. BEZEK TEUSJIS STORY Says He Was in an Insane Asylum in Austria. HIS LOVE FOR MARIA KERZIC It I.cJ Him Away from Home and Friends He Says und Cuused Him to Come to This Country-Closing Addresses Today. Murderer Franz Bezek Is now stand ing In the shadow of the gallows, his trial is at an end. and today the op posing attorneys will make their argu ments to the Jury. Judge Edwards will deliver his charge, and Into the hands of the twelve men sworn to do justice between the commonwealth and the prisoner at the bar, will be consigned the responsibility of rendering a verdict according to their consciences and based upon the evidence udduced In the case. As on the day before court was yesterday In session from 9 a. m. until 9.30 p.m., with the exception of ad journments for dinner and supper and a short recess now and then. When the morning session opened Judge Edwurds directed the defense to proceed with their case and Attorney Colborn began his argument to the Jury. As early as the hour was the uudlto rlum of the court room was thronged with people eager to hear the eloquence of Mr. Colborn. The speaker spread before the Jurymen a romantic figura tive tableau of the prisoner's life cover ing the time beginning with his boy hood In the Austrian Tyrol down to the day that he steeped his hands In the life blood of the girl he loved because she refused to marry him. In closing his argument Mr. Colborn outlined-the character of the line of defense and said that evidence of former Insanity would be offered In evidence, and that witnesses would go upon the stand and swear that the defendant had In his na tive country been confined In an in sane asylum. A man by the name of Frank Bezek, of Maylleld, was the first witness called to the stand. The murderer's name Is not Bezek. but Berchlne. although In the ' Indictment he is so called. The former name he went by on account of having purchased the passports of that man and on these he traveled to this country. District Attorney Kelly objected to the evidence of Besek, who was to testify to the passports, on the ground that It was immaterial and ir relevant. Court sustained the 'objec tion and the witness was not ques tioned further. lieek's I'nclc Testifies. Joseph Petrotschl, the murderer's uncle, was called to the Btand. He was expected to prove that the murderer was confined In a military hospital In Llebach, Austria, and while there was suffering from dementia. Witness saw Bezek in a hospital In Lelbach, Austria. He seemed to be sick and was acting strangely. The murderer was In the military service and this was a mili tary hospital. Bezek and Maria Ker'zlc first came to his house in Mayfleld on Sunday, Oct. 7. The girl left before Bezek and her absence appeared to have a gloomy effect on him. He began to cry and wring his hands. Bezek left his house at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon to go to Olyphant and he was angry with his uncle because he did not ac company him. John Bosnot was the next witness. Counsel for the defense was required to make an offer explaining what Was Intended to prove by the witness and court ruled that the witness would, be permitted to answer only as to the con duet of the murderer during a period covering five years beginning at the period when witness saw Bezek in the military hospital. The witness testi fied substantially the same as the pre ceding witness. Anthony Kranc, another man who saw Bezek In the military hospital at Lle bach, testified. Bezek was acting vety strangely, crying and praying, and seemed to be out of his head when wit ness saw Mm. lle.ek on the SlunJ. There was a curious stir In the court room when the murderer's name was called and fie was announced as the next witness. Answering the questions put to him by his attorneys he told his life's history as follows: lie Is now 27 years of age, was born In the small vil lage of Llebach in the southern paint of Austria, adjoining Turkey, and lived there until he emigrated to America. Maria 'Kerzlc, the girl he murdered, lived close by his father's farm; It re quired a three minutes walk to get to her home. They grew up together and when he arrived nt the age of 22 he Siad learned to love 'her. His father Is a wealthy farmer and he labored with his father's peatiants. At 22 he joined the Austrian army and was engaged In the service seven months. He was a patient four months In the military hospital 'In the Insane depart ment. When he recovered his sanity the physicians discharged 'him, 'he was given papers of discharge by the mili tary authorities and returned to his father's 'home. He fell violently In love with Maria and they became engaged to be married. Mary was a working girl and her parents were poor; his father Is rich and he objected to their union. He was home for four years af ter his first dlschurge from the hospital and was thrown In Mary's company much of that time. At the end of .four yours his father sent him back again to the hospital, because he was suffering from another attack. of, dementia. He was confined there about three months. He could not remember anything that happened to him while (he' was in the hoapftal and did not remember any of his friends coming to see him. After his second discharge he 'returned, 'home again and worked on the farm for seven months; then he determined to come to this country. He "had been keeping steady company with Maria for. three years altogether, and she Agreed to fly to America with 'him, where they could get married, because his father object ed strenuously to their match. . The girl secured a passport for him and also gave him 75 florins In Austrian money; his father gave him some money also. 'Maria' bought the passport and the name In which it was made out was Frana Bezek. Berehlne is his Jiroper name, but he traveled under the name of Franz Bezek. They talked together before leaving about getting married wben they arrived in America. They -came over, via Bremen, thence to London, ' and over the Atlantic to this country. He -would have wedded Maria In Austria, but his father threat ened to disinherit him, and the sole reason he came to this country with her was to marry her. They, as he thought, would be married when May field was reached. He first learned that she changed her mind about marrying him when he vis ited her sister's house In Olyphnnt about 4.30 o'clock on the aftdrnoon of Sunday, Oct. 7. Mrs. Kramer, Maria's sister, told him that Maria would not marry him because Anton Bourschneck had sent the passage money, and Bezek answered her that It was not Boursch neck who sfnt the money but herself. Then Mrs. Kramer told him that he could marry Maria if he vald back the passage money. He told tier he would get the money from his uncle In May fleld, but to this nhe said that Maria was going to marry Bourschneck any how. He then left Kramer's house and went broken-hearted back to May field. He could not stay away from the house and after riding around on the street cars for a few hours Journeyed ugaln to Kramer's house. He Would Not Eat. They offered him supper, but he re fused to eat. He slept there that night and the next night, and Maria wus not allowed by her sister to speak to him. He was again offered supper on Monday evening but refused to eat. He wanted to write a farewell letter to his parents In Austria, but his mind was so disturbed that he could not write. He Intended to kill himself, and before leaving the house he begged Murla to marry him; she scorned him and he left her, threatening to commit suicide. He then went out to purchase a revolver, und returned without buy ing one. He went to bed and arose be fore 7 o'clock the next morning, went out again to buy a revolver, and, having purchased It with the Intent to take his own life, returned to see Maria, to ask her for the last time If she would marry him, and If she refused he had intended to destroy himself in her presence. When he went In Maria was scrub bing the floor. He begged of her with tears In his eyes to be his; her answer was In the negative; thereupon he Jerked the revolver from his hip pocket, pointed It at his head and she threw herself in his arms. Simultaneously with this act In pulling the trigger to send a ball into his head she fell Into his arms and the bullet meant for him self killed her and she fell dead at his feet. Two other shots were fired, but he was so excited that he knew not whether he fired the shots or not. He knows that he fired to kill himself, but the weapon refused to work. At this point his direct examination ended and court adjourned for the afternoon. Judge Edwards ordered an evening session, beginning at 7 o'clock. On Cross-examination. District Attorney Kelly began his cross-examination, and subjected Be zek to a thorough questioning. Bezek admitted that he spent very little time at school and that hi: sickness, which sent him to the hospital In Llebach, arose from his absence from Mai la, because he could not see her, In other words he was love sick. The reason he traveled under the assumed name of Bezek was because they were in a hurry to come to America, and he availed himself of the first opportunity; so that when Maria purchased his pass port he readily trawled on It. When he arrived In Mayfleld he had only $1U of American money left. He denied that he tried to buy a revolver on Mon day evening although h testified to that on direct examination. Several questions were asked of him that he admitted on direct examination he de nied on cross-examination. Dr. C. R. Parke, who was a physi cian at the county Jail In October, was c&lled to the stand. He Bwore that he remembered Bezek and attended him a few days after he was brought to the jail. Bezek was suffering from a wound on the chin that to all appear ances looked to be a pistol wound. It was not serious. Cross-examined he was possitlve that the wound was a pistol wound. There were powder marks burned Into the flesh around the wound. He was certain the wound could not have been made by contact with a barbed wire fence. Some of Bezek's lower teeth were loose. Justice of the peace Cummlngs was recalled In rebuttal to show that there was no such wound on Bezek's chin when ho was In his office. After his testimony the defense wanted to re call Constable Philip Williams, who took Bezek fiom the 'squire's office to the, county jail. It was Intended to see If Bezek had been shot on his way to the county Jail. An attachment was sent out for the constable, who did not answer to 'his name, and Judge Ed wards allowed the defense to Introduce Williams' testimony this morning, as well as the testimony of the wardens at the county Jail. Closing Address Today, Attorney Watson will speak first to the Jury today and Attorney Ct.lborn will make the closing plea in behalf of the defense, followed by LHntrlct Attor ney Kelly for the commonwealth. Judge Edwards' charge will mark the termination of the trial.
