The facts In the case, as brought

as man and wife until May, 1908,

got a neighbor and removed to the
town of Sidney. The farm was about
two miles out.
" I saw her a couple of days af-1
terwards at Sidney, and she said she j
was not coming back again, that she
would not live with me, that sho
never had any lovo for me and would
not live with me. We had no chil-j
dren. I never gave her any reason I
to leave me. I asked her If she was
coming back and she said she never .
would. Sho didn't like farm "life."
Wm. H. Pearce, testified as fol"
lows: "I am acquainted with Walter
E. Leo and his wife. ' I knew him
several years before marriage. I
sold Mm the farm and I married
them as Justice of the Peace. I
was at their homo several times af
ter they were married. His house
was furnished better than the aver
ago farmer and I saw them frequent
ly aftey they were married. He
treated her kindly and considerate
and she has told me so many a time.
He supplied her with food and
clothing as long as they lived to
gether. The farm had 80 acres and
a very fair house In a good neigh
borhood. I know she left Mr. Lee
and she came into my office and ask
ed me if I had any rooms in Music
Hall block to let. This was In May,
1908. I told her she had better go
back. She said sho had left her
husband; that she had her goods at
D-'
Sidney now. I did not let her have
rooms, but she got rooms on Cart
wright Avenue, Sidney, and lived
there a few months. I saw her a
number of times and asked her to go
back. She says ' I don't love Walter
B. Lee, and that Is the Teason I left
him and I shall never live with him
again. After about two or three
weeks she rented rooms In Music
Hall block and worked In the silk
mill, whore she works now. She has
now bought a house and lot on
Chestnut street. She Is about 55
years old. Mr. Lee was a nice man
and she said he was very kind but
she did not love him. They have
not lived togethor since they separ

CONFESSION
Detectives Tell of Spencer
Statement at His Trial.
PRISONER IS NEAR COLLAPSE.
Springfield (Mass.) Man Accused of
Young Woman's Murder Interrupts
Trial, and Cruelty Is Resorted
to In Forcing Quiet Mother
and Sister Attend Court.
Springfield, Mass., Nov. 10. In the
quiet of the superior court oue of tho
Massachusetts police officers was (Iron
ing through his testimony at the trial
of Bertram G. Spencer, who is accused
of tho murder of Martha B. Blnckstone
ou March 31, 1910. "And then I heard
Spencer say," explained the detective
as he recounted the confession of the
prisoner on the morning after Ills ar
rest and admitted into evidence, "the
authorities can do anything they like
with me so long as they don't send me
to the electric chair." m.
Spencer sprang to the front of the
cage, raised a trembling arm ,nud
screamed at the top of his voice:
"Why don't you tell the truth?"
Ills whole body shook, his face
twitched and Ills long, sticky hair fell
down over his forehead. It took a
strangle hold to force him into his
seat, and then, as the pnroxypni
passed, ho sat there in a heap, -whimpering
like a cold puppy. Again die
asked, thin, time .querulously, "Why
didn't ho tell the truth?" jr
A little later on the attorney i"
slgned by the commonwealth to defend
Spencer made his opening address. He
referred to the Incident -which by Its
unexpectedness had shaken the nerves
of the courtroom as an example of the
outburst to which the man known us
tho "gentleman burglnr" had been lia
ble all ills life. But it wasn't upon
these Impulses alone that the insanity
plea was advanced. His lawyer
sketched the history of his ancestors,
Ave on his father's side and five on his
mother's side, who had cither been
committed to institutions or had died
of maladies kindred to softening of the
brain. In addition, ho reviewed Spen
cer's early life and told how his father
had whipped him when he couldn't
learn his child's prayer; how the boy
hud been beaten by his father with a
horsewhip until the whip broke and
the child of nine lny for several hours
in n pool of his own blood; how his
father had tied him to n tree in the
woods near their home and hnd whip
ped him and then left him tied there
for a long time; how he had been sent
away from home and upon returning
had been found by his father, and how
at this time the fight between tho two
had ended In the older Spencer stand
ing in his doorwny and firing five times
at the figure of his son running down
the road.
The combined stories of three de
tectives made a pretty full history of
tho wuy in which he lost his nerve af
ter one night in jail and asked them to
let him got his burden off .his mind.
They agreed without question that he
admitted the murder of Miss Black
stone and that ho told them that he
was the man who had been breaking
into houses of Springfield for the two
years before his arrest.
Spencer has tho look of a man on the
verge of going to pieces. Tho most
noticeable outward expression of his
condition is n continuous trembling of
the foot thot is crossed over tho other.
Most of the time ho sits with his
eyes fixed upon a row of books above
Judge Crosby's head, and ho appears
to lie giving little attention to tho tes
timony. Spencer's mother and sister are in
court and tho latter speaks to him oc
casionally, but sho seemed to have too
llttlo control of herself to offer much
encouragement.

CONTROL
Accepts the Premiership For
Limited Monarchy.
MAY RESULT IN REPUBLIC.
Man of the Hour In China Will Not
Coeroe Seceding Provinces, Hoping
to Win Them Gradually to the
Throne Will Form Cab
inet at Once,
Feklng, Nov. 10. Yuan Shlh Kai has
accepted the premiership. Tho an
nouncement is not made officially In
these words, but the official Gazette
publishes a communication over Yuan's
signature in which he thanks the
throne for appointing him prime min
ister, which is interpreted ns equiva
lent to his accepting.
It is not known whether he-changed
his mind under imperial pressure or
whether his repeated refusals were
merely due to the oriental modesty
with which the best of honors Is tra
ditionally met. The acceptance mate
rially improves the situation, anyway
temporarily.
Yuan told friends that he intends to
form a cabinet and carry on the gov
ernment in behalf of the throne as a
limited monarchy. He relies upon the
support of the provinces, but if nny
Insist upon independence he will not
coerce them, hoping gradunlly to win
them to allegiance to the throne. Yuan
evidently is doubtful of his ability to
uphold the monarchy, being very much
aware of the widespread disaffection,
and if the present state of chaos con
tinues it is expected that lie will openly
leclaro for n republic.

"The report of tho district attorney

the following crimes traced directly or

When It Is Entered Wickersham Will
Explain Government Position.
Washington, Nov. 10. Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham is awaiting tho de
cree in tho federal court of the south
ern district of New York in the Ameri
can Tobacco company case, aftei
which he may haTe something to say
as to what the decree means from the
government's viewpoint and as to
what the future attitude of tho gov
ernment will be.
It is intimated that there is a wide
popular misconception as to what the
court finally ordered as to the future
of the tobacco trust. It is possible that
the government will be able to extract
more comfort from the decree than
now seems possible in the light In
which the public has understood it.
The attorney general expects that a
decree will be entered within a few
days.

AVliy Trees Fail To Benr.
A fruit grower from West Vir
ginia writes to Prof. II. A. Surface,
niconomic zoologist of the State De
partment of Agriculture, desiring to
know the cause of the failure of his
apple trees to bear fruit.
Tho zoologist replies as follows:
"Replying to your recent letter
asking why your largo Northern
Spy trees do not bear fruit, I beg to
say that there may bo one or two
or more causes of this. The ground
may be too rich or fertile for trees
to bear fruit abundantly. On very
fertile soil they are liable to grow
vigorous, and will not stop their
growth to bear heavily.
"Another is, that this variety is
not so liablo to bear heavily as do
certain others. I would recommend
that you prune the trees rather se
verely. Of course, cutting tho upper
branches rather than the lower, so
as to form low-headed, open-topped
trees. Spray when the buds are
swelling, with the boiled lime-sulfur
solution, and again after the llowers
have dropped with tho dilute lime-
sulfur solution, with about two
nniinrlf? nf nrspnnto nf lonrl !n onnli
fifty gallons of tho solution.
"If tho ground appears to bo rath
er fertile, it is not advisable to add
more nitrogen fertility. Some wood-
washes or other form of potash fer
tilizer, and also some phosphoric
acid in the form of ground bone, or
Thomas Phosphate slag, ground Car
olina rock will prove valuable. About
ten pounds of the potash fertilizer
and about the same of the phosphate
fertilizer scattered around each tree
