THE FIRST CRITICAL
POINT IS LOST
Government Is Weakened by the Ad
mission of Evidence Against
Professor Eastman.
By Ksrlmlie Wire from Tin Associated Preis.
Cambridge Jluss', April 24. Tin?
government lost Its llrst critical pnlnc
in the admission of evidence against
Professor Kiistuian, of Harvard col
lege, wlio Is on trial In the 'Superior
court charged with the murder of his
brother-in-law, ltlchard Grogan, Jr.,
this afternoon, when Judge CitslUll
stated that certain evidi-ncc In the
form of repetition of statements al
leged to have been made by Orogau
as ho was dying, was not admissible
In a certain form which tended to con
vey the opinion, and not the fact, nn
to whether ho (Orogan) had .been
"killed" or "murdered." The point
raised by Jlr. Elder, for the prisoner,
apparently was unexpected by the at
torney general.
Lottie Itroughton, n witness, wai
asked to repeat What she had heard
fJrogan say, her testlmonj" having al
ready gone beyond the point where it
Lad been shown that Orogan was
wounded. Jlr. Klder. Interposing, said
he anticipated the answer to lie,
1 Charles, juiu'vo murdered mo," and
to lt he objected as Incompetent evi
dence on tlie plain ground that it was
Hrogan's opinion, not a specific decla
lation of the dying man. On tlie same
ground he objected to evidence already
presented, which in feet was opinion
anil not hare staten hit ot fact. At
iorney Oeneral Know ton took the op
posite 'ground, but the decision wus
against the government in almost ev
ery particular, the exception being that
the Identical words objected to wero
allowed to stand In the direct testi
mony of .Mr. Titus, a druggist, who
saw the struggle between Grogan and
K.istman and heard the former speak
Immediately after having been shot.
The entire day was full of sensu
llonal evidence, beginning with that of
Walter TO. Titus, a druggist. Tie saw
L'aslmr-n with a revolver in his hand
and identified one exhibited in court as
the same. Several persons who live In
tlie neighborhood of the Alvan Cliulce
estate told of the excitement following
the shooting and of hearing ciie.s of
"ilelp: Murder!"
The concluding witness and the une
who.-e evidence Is expected to be very
Important, was Belle Bryan, the house:,
keeper for Mrs. flrognn. Her htor
had not proceeded far enough at the
day's adjournment to disclose tlie gov
ernment's strength at this point in ils
cham of circumstances.
