H SUTTON TALE
Dead Officer's Sister Says
Lieut. Adams Told Her AIL
GRAPHIC STORY OF THE FIGHT
According to Mrs. Parker, Adam?
Beat Sutton at the Back of
the Head and Ostcrman
Knocked Him Down.
Annapolis, Md., Auk. 11. Mrs. Km
Sutton Parker, sister of Lieutenant
James X. Sutton, whose (tenth here on
the night of Oct. 12. 11(07. is being In
vestigated by a navy court of Inquiry,
wis called as a witness before the
court. Mrs. Parker told how she had
come on from Portland. Ore., on hear
ing the news of her brother's death
and began then to relate the interview
she hud with Lieutenant Adams, one
of the olllcers with her brother at the
time lie met his death wound.
"I noticed," said Mrs. Parker, "some
thing queer about Adams at the time
of the funeral. lie was right across
the coilln from me, and he looked at
me with a very queer air. I did not
then have auy idea that lie might have
beaten or killed my brother. Hut 1
made up my mind that he must know
more about the case than lie bad told."
"Did Adams say that Sutton used
words to him that he would not
stand?''
"Yes."
"IId Adams tell of calling your
brother a coward and T'tley then com
ing up nud saying, 'Now he must
light''' "
"Yes. Adams told then how my
brother struck Osternian and they
Mnrted to fight, and he Adams. I
mean ran up and grabbed my brother
by the neck and pounded him on the i
back of the head. After that Oster
nian knocked my brother down."
"Then he said that your brother
made the threat to kill all before day
light Y'
"That Is correct."
"Why did Adams say he acted as he
did toward your brother? Was h In'-caiiM-
'it h- had lived he would lme
gotten mo?' "
"Tlio'-c were exactly his words."
"iid Adams tell you how he acted
when Sutton, as he said, came ha U
with his revolver?"
he told of throwing my brother
nftir my brother had shot at him."
"I lid he then tell of beating youi
brother? Hid he say he was so iinr.
he beat him, not knowing what In'
was doing?"
"He did, and he said that he kept "i
beating my brother until another oil!
cer came and knocked him off. kicked
him lu the ribs for hitting a man
when he was down. Ho admitted
that."
"IMd Adams explain his hatred l'oi
your brother?"
"He did. He said that my hrothei
was considered cocky and that the olll
cers told him If he was friends wit Ii
hint (Sutton) he could not be friend.
with tile rest."
"Did he name any man In pnrtictilni
as your brother's enemy?"
"Yes, he spoke particularly of Mr
I'tley.
"Mr. Adams said to me." continued
Mrs. Parker. " 'Everybody in Annapo
lis thinks that I killed your brother."
Mrs. Parker gave her testimony with
her back to the accused olllcers and c
all the spectators in the crowded court
room. The hundred or so women ot
the post and of the town who had
coine to hear her story craned forward
to catch her words.
Though her tones were tremulous at
times when she retold the details ol
Adams' alleged remarks in his long in
terview with her, she never stopped ot
faltered. Her expressions did not
change throughout. Her face was bent
down toward her lap and showed liei
abundant dark hair and wide binds
hat. She seemed Indifferent to tht
"self convicting" faces, as her niothei
had cnlled them, of Adams and the
other accused olllcers almost at hei
elbows.

THAW DECLARES HE'S SANE.
Saya Jerome Proved Him Rational
"Forty-five Times Over."
White Plains. X. Y Aug. 11. Reas
serting his sanity, Hnrry K. Thaw has
Issued n statement reviewing the evi
dence given in bis recent hearing on
his application for release from the
Matteawan asylum. He says:
'The best experts have Informed me
that If any Insane man was questioned
for twenty minutes as Jerome ques
tioned mo lie would assuredly show
his Insanity. As Jerome kept this up
over fifteen hours in all during the
trial, he proved me sane forty-five
time over, for the alienists said any
twenty minutes during his fifteen
hours of wild and extraordinary ques
tions would have settled any para
noiac. "It seems to me I must lie perfectly

slept In the same room with me saw
me undress and go to sleep and wake
up, then eat my breakfast, dinner and
supper and who took me up on the
mountains where 1 could have left
them miles behind had I not been
trustworthy.
"These and many clergymen, headed
by President Patton of Princeton and
ladles, some of whom have known me
all my life, and hauliers and manufac
turers and police and prison keepers
accustomed to observing both sane and
insane men: also city clerks, editors,
farmers, lawyers and the ex-governor
of u great state nil find me perfectly
sane and none find anything irrational
! at all.
"This seems to me to prove my sani

I could handle Mr. Jerome in n four
teen and a half hours' debate on every
possible subject except the alleged de
lusion, which he did not seem to want
explained.''
BALLOON FLIES OVER ALPS.
The Sirius Traverses Mont Blanc From
Chamonix at Great Height.
Chamonix. France, Aug. 11. The
balloon Sirius has succeeded in flying
over the Alps. It left here last Sunday
under the pilotage of Captain Spelte
rlni. who had witli him three passen
gers. Fears were entertained for the safe
ty of the voyagers, but they landed
safelv at a noint near Locarno at an
altitude of 5.400 feet. The four men,
I however, still have a dangerous path
to cover on foot from the place where
they landed into Locarno.
The Sirius traversed Mont Hlanc and
soared over the Aiguille du Dru and
the Aiguille Verio. The highest alti
tude attained on the voyage was ."i.otii
meters. This is equal to 1S.".";5 feet, or
a little less than three miles and a
half.
After crossing Mont Plane the wind
blew the balloon away from the plain-,
and up among the mountains. Heneatli
was nothing but perpendicular walls
of rock and narrow gorges. Only live
sacks of ballast were left, and to have
continued the flight would have meant
for tile aeronauts to have lost them
selves in the labyrinth of abysses.
M. Spolterinl chose a narrow ledge
at an altitude of l.NMi meters for land
ing. If he had missed it would have
meant death to all, but with marvelous
skill he brought the balloon down and
landed at the edge of a chasm. Herds
men saw the descent and ran to the
assistance of the aeronauts. The bal
loon was deflated just as a storm
broke.

Trenton, X. J.. Aug. 11. Adolph
Hortschey, the thirteenth man to go to
the electric chair in Xew Jersey, was
electrocuted at the state prison here
for the murder of Frank Janowski at
I.akewood.
Hortschey went to the chair without
a tremor and, hi fact, declined any as
sistance in going from the death cham

bv William E. Hunn of the Lakuwood
Y. M. C. A., who acted as his spiritual
adviser.
In statements to Hunn and the prison

CASTRO

Enemies In Venezuela De
spoil Hi?n of $5,000,000.
RETALIATION FOR PAST AGTS
His Cigarette Trust Shares Sold Foi
Five Cents on the Dollar and
Purchase Money Then
Attached.
Caracas, via Curacao, Aug. 11. The
systematic spoliation of the fortune
which Cipriano Castro left behind hlni
in Venezuela has proceeded with such
gigantic strides that nfter the first six
months the $5,000,000 of known assets
have been totally wiped out.
The method by which $1,000,000 of
Castro's property was reduced to $50.
000 and this paltry remainder then
taken away from him will probably be
a revelation even to Castro himself,
who Is now having a taste of the same
medicine which he administered to the
Venezuelan people for so many years.
Castro owned ."41.000.000 of cigarette
shares, which had been given to hlni
as his share lu the promotion of the
cigarette trust. A few weeks ago the
directors of the cigarette company
sold the $5.000,00 concern to n pri
vate individual, Senor Garcia Guerra.
for $250,000, or just 5 per cent of Its
capitalized value, nud notwithstanding
that on the same day of the sale the
shares were quoted on the exchange at
'-'5 per cent premium.
The next step was the formation ol
a new company, which took in all the
old stockholders except Castro. Then
there was Issued an order by the com
mercial court to have the $50.ooi,
which corresponded to the 5 per cent
purchase price of the Castro stock, de
posltid in the Hank of Venezuela to
the order to whoever might be the
holder or this block of stock. So lu
one day Sl.OOO.Ouo of good money be
came $50,0(10.
Hut the worst was yet to come. This
.$50,000 was Immediately attached by
individuals who have lawsuits pond
ing against Castro for the recovery ol
damages.
The sequel of this story of "high
finance" is the sudden arrival of a
German citizen named Theodore limit"

against the perpetrators of the alleged

What has been done with Casti"'.

of the process used to oust him from
the company which controls the um

HOTEL KEEPER SHOT DEAD.
Ex-Convict, His Revenge Attained
Then Kills Himself.
Mlddletown. X. Y., Aug. 11. .Inmi"
McSorley, a former Coney Island hotel
keeper, who completed a prison sen
tence only a few days ago, came here
to .-quare matters with Daniel K. Fcn
ton, proprietor of the Hotel Klberton.
whom he bilioved was responsible for
his conviction. He killed both Kenton
and himself.
McSorley met Fenton on a crowded
corner of West Main street and Hied
three shots, each of which took effect.
Then, seeing that his old enemy was
done for, he raised the smoking pistol
to his head and fired two bullets int
his brain.
Hel'i re he died Fenton gasped to the
surgmu who kneeled beside him: "If
was McSorley. I was on the Jury that
sent him to prison long time ago for
a long term."
on his arrival in Mlddletown Mc
Sorley asked to be directed to Kenton's
hotel and went at once to the barroom
of the Klberton. Learning that Fen
ton hud just gone to the postollice, Mc
Sorley walked leisurely up West Main
street, asking a number of persons if
they had seen Fenton. A moment Inter
they met face to face. Fenton recog
nized the stranger, paled and tried to
flee, but McSorley, firing from his
pocket, mortally wounded him before
he could turn.

ROOST YOUR CHICKS.
Borne poultry raisers let the chicks
grow up to maturity lu brood coops.
Must get awful monotonous for them
In that crowded, dose, crawling, dirty
coop.
Xo, we didn't mean you; we meant
the other fellow Isn't sharp enough to
see that chicks can't develop well In
A SIMPLE ItOOST COOP.
Insanitary, crowded quarters nud
ought to have a roost coop when they
are two or three months old.
Don't let thorn sleep with the old
chickens. They got henpecked, and j
tuc rea mites suck their blood.
You don't want crooked breastbones?
Well, make wide roosts. They'll
not get deformed on them any more
than on the dirty brood coop floor.
Put in an older chick to teach them
to roost or place them on the roost
yourself, and they'll soon get the habit.
THE HOTHOUSE HENHOUSE.
We don't know who originated the
greenhouse plan of building hen
houses. Some fellow perhaps with a hotbed
or n hot head.
It's likely his radishes and lettuce
grew nicely under glass and be got
tho idea that a glass top or front to
his chicken house would be just the
stuff to make poultry thrive and eggs
multiply.
Wl-en he went out on n cold wintry
mortring and found tho whole glass
front covered with frost nnd Ills liens'
combs frozen stiff he concluded that
too much glass Isn't good for egg
plants. One of our friends has recent
ly put u whole glass roof nud front to
his henhouse. When the "beautiful
snow" gets on that crystal roof, if it
doesn't break down, there will cer
tainly be some leaking, nnd his roupy
chickens will do some squeaking.
The more glass you have the more
cold in winter and heat in summer.
There's an awful hot place down
below to whicli we don't intend to go.
To get acclimated for that place one
need only tend liens in a kothousc
pen.
To keei healthy hens need comfort
able winter quarters where they have
pure, fresh air, and in summer they
must bo kept cool as possible.
Don't use large, expensive glass, as
the panes are frequently broken, Leg
horns sometimes flying right tbrougli
them.
For light wo find four double sash,
six SxlO lights to the sash, sufficient
for every forty feet of space, the
house being nine foot front, seven foot
back and twelve wide.
A great mauy have the windows too
high. They get little sunshine from
them, and ou cloudy days hens cannot
see to eat. Our windows are eight
inches from the cement lloor, and we
find that just right for light, while the
hens enjoy the scenery when the
weather is unlit for them to be out.
In.case this brings the sash down near
the ground you must screeu tho lower
sash outside or roosters will tight
through the windows nnd crack their
shins.
FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.
Yes, there is such a thing as a sissy
rooster just as there is a sissy man.
The fellow who whacks you in tho
shin when you catch his liens, tells you
to get your hair cut when you go into
the pens, whacks the other roosters
over the head and crows old lazybones
out of bed, that's our style, and he's
worth wliile.
Mythology declares that this world
came from an egg. We were not there
and, of course, are not qualified to give
an eggs-pert opinion. It looks, how
ever, as if the egg has something to
do with the financial world when the
world's gold output is $-127,000,000,
that of the United States $Uu,000,000,
while the American lien's products in
this country alone reached $000,000,000.
As Easter is the heyday of the egg,
so the day after Easter is often the
doctor's heyday and It is also a high
day for the papas of those little boy3
who eat so mauy Easter eggs.
The reason setting hens often have
diarrhea is because greens, mash and
cut bone are fed. When we set hens
they get nothing but whole corn, grit
nnd water.
When n lawyer plucks a fat goose
he makes a brief nnd complete job of
it nt one lick. Time with him is
money.
Farmers are complaining of being
cheated by tho city commission men.
Why tbey ship poultry away when
a little hustling will give them better
prices at home we can't understand.
Those feed firms thnt send out very
low prices for first class feed and say,
"Now, get busy!" will cheat you till
you're dizzy. They are shoving off a
' lot of good oyster shell nnd dust with
n little grnln nud must.
Talk nbout chickens fighting! Some
of our poultry editors huve them licked
to n frnzzle. Well, It's not our funeral,
but we wish some of them would sur-
j prise us with practical Information In-
Btend of fussln', cussln and vitupera
tion.
Oats Is one of the best summer feeds,
but plenty of sharp grit and water
must be on hand to soak and grind
such grain. When hens run much In
the wet, feed oats. It prevents diarrhea.
