CoiTolinrntP His Evidence
in .Mntiy Details.
IsDTANArnMs, Nov. 17. With the clo.e
of the seventh week of the trial of this
forty-five members of the International
!ici.ition of Hridgo and Structural
Iron Worker? In the dynamite cases there
i a general sentiment that the Oovern
mnt is making an exceedingly strong
case ond thnt so f.ir as the defence in
concerned it looks like n hopeless task to
attempt to controvert the evidence that
hr.s been so systematically marshalled
the prosecution
While there have been only two pleas
of guilty and tlm attorneys for th de
fendants are fighting every inch of ground,
it t believed by many who have heard
th evidence in detail that there will be
vhr pleas when the evidence is all in
and before the defence offers any testi
mony whatever. There have been ru-n-nr
to this otfect. and it is said that
ntnng the forty-five defendants there
trmn specially appointed to test the
s'lHiment from time to time of the "wenk
ll"V.s" and hold them in line by appeals
m their manhood and by denunciations
ef McManigal. Clark and Eckhoff. the.
t iree men who were actually encaged In
dvnamt'ing and whose evidence has
cteated the sensations of the trial
Orti McManigal created a good im
predion on court and audience, and it is
not questioned that he impres.-.ed the jury.
Tiie closest attention was paid to every
erd he uttered and a ho faced the jury
mmber after member of the panel leaned
forward as if afraid that some word or
i:"iure of the witness would escape them.
While he told his story without hesitation
and almost without feeling, his refusal at
overal points to set off explosions be
muse of th danger to human lifo greatly
impressd th audience and hi horror at
'h nonchalant manner of James n. Mc-
Namara when the latter told of the I.os
Angeles Timet murders and asked "What
dn we rare?" gave hirn a momentary
reruldritv that was noticeable through
iy it the court room.
The mst astonishing thing about the
map i his wonderful memory as to
p'dcps and dates, telephone calls, con
versations trains on which he travelled,
amount of dynamite and number of
Barm elocks he carried and other de
tails, all of which he repeated with un
accuracy that would have been surprising
ven had they occurred only the day
bfore he testified nd in so far as the
Government has attempted to do so every
detail has been corroborated with an
exactness that is remarkable. Telegrams
that McManigal snt have been sub
mitted in corroboration, telephone ex
changes have produced their records of
calls, clerks and hotels have produced
thir registers, railroad tickets havo been
found and all havomgreed in every par
ticular with the dynamiter's story.
In the face of such details and such
corroboration, very much of it record
evidence, it is admitted McManigal made
an exceedingly strong witness and that
failure to impress the jury with the truth
of hLs statement would be next to im
possible
McManigal does not Impress one while
tntifying a a desperado or as a degener-
ht and for that reason his statements
as to how he was led into dynamiting
nr,d how afterward he continued at it
I xvuise he at first submitted to the in
ducements offered by Hockln carried
force In their recital and on the whole
er natural He said he could not quit
hecAiise he knew from the threats Horkin
and John J McNamara had made that
te would be unable to get work anywhere
If Ir.deed he would be safe from assassina
tion. His testimony of the hunting trip
In Wisconsin when he referred to the
attempt upon his life by James B. MoNa
roara rtiowrd that he had come to believe
that his life was in dancer and would bo
doubly in danger If he broke the relations
"listing between him and the iron work
ers' organization.
Nothing that was nailed out In his
testimony related to his life before he was
sought by Hockin in Chicago, where ho
was working at his trade an a structural
Iron worker hut his language and his
manner on the stand olearly indicated
that he as not a child of the slums.
Ke found words readily for the expression
of hi ide.ts and there was little in his
language that savored of lower ill bred
tsociatons In this respeot McManigal
""as a surprise to those who saw him and

MANfGA
kept him at it through fear of bodily harm
If he desisted. And while thus working
upon his fears, Hockln was robbing him I
of n part of the money set apart to pay
him for the dynamiting.
Attorneys who have watched th pro- i
creeling say that they recall no cas in
which the testimony has been marshalled
more masterfully or more effectively ,
presented to a jury Of course the case
depends almost entirely upon substan
tiating or corroborating the story of
McManigal.
Mth the exception of Hark and Eck
holT. who have told of tho connection of
Hockln and other members with dyna
miting, the floverninent Is almost entirely
dependent upon McManigal for the de
tails ns to how the conspiracy was carried
out; mat is, now property was destroyed
under the terms of the conspiracy and the
dynamiters paid out of the organization's
money, While the letters show that there
was omeial correspondence regarding I
explosions and while the cancelled checks
show that these dynamiting jobs wero
paid Tor out or the It, km set aside monthly
and for the expenditure of which Mel
Namnra gave no account, they do not
show that a pound of dynamite or nitro
glycerine nor a piece of fuso nor an alarm
clock ever was transported over a railway
line.
As the indictments are for this offence
and not for the destruction of property
and as none of the letters even refers to
such transportation. It will bo seen that
the Clovernment relies wholly upon Mc
Manigal, supported, as ho is, by other
witnesses, for the testimony that will lead
to conviction for the only offenc of which
the Federal court has jurtsdlaOrm. And
on this account too it is imperative that
every movement made by McManigal,
barring the explosions themselves, shall
be corroborated by other witnesses, and
no expenso is being spared to do (hi
In a sense, then, tho case depends upon
this one witness ond upon him alone, for
without him no offence against tho United
States could be established.
So important is this that as manr ns
five witnesses have been summoned from
the Pacific ovist to testify to the presence
ui .ii-.iuiiivii ur .mines u,.Mttiiuni in
a single city at u certain time, In manv
instances .McManigal is corroborated by
three or four witnesses regarding un
event that might m itself seem trivial,
yet such is tho necessity for corroborat
ing all he says and making his testimony
conclusive that all the testimony s.ivo tho
etters rcud to tho jury revolves around
him as common centre,
This has been brought out clearly in
the case of the story of the l.os Angeles
rimes horror 'I he onlr details of the
affair have come from James H McNumum
through his association with McManigal
in tho woods of Wisconsin He told
McManigal the story and McManigal re
peated it in detail on the witness sr.uid.
The effort now is to corroborate McMani
gal and show that the storv of tho I.os
Angeles Times murders was' true To do
this twenty-live or thirty witnesses have
been summoned fromSan Krnnrisw (LiU-

lSIIon refused to make a dellnltu state
ment.
He snlil, however, that an accurate
description of the man suspected of
murdeilng the lad had been obtained,
How accurate may bo deduced from
his Ftatemcnt that "If the hrute does
not commit suicide he can't get away."
He stated that the suspect had a
police reiord in Buffalo, having been ar
rested on suspicion of strangling a boy,
but discharged for lack of evidence.
He Is a travelling man, a mechanic
whose business would tnko him to this

t'ie postal cards have been mailed tho
last three months by the murderer, at
length lending to the recovery of the
body ef one of his victims. It Is be
lieved the man Is now In Buffalo.
Another one of the strange and ram
bllng communications from the mur
derer was received to-day by Chief Gil
son. The letter was postmarked Boston.
November 15, and written on stationery
of ihe Tremont Hotel of that city. Th
communication said that the writer, who
slgiifd himself "K. Doumessorl" and who
was rf sponsible for the murder, would
be in Buffalo on Wednesday to give him
pr If up to the police. Chief Ollson last
night refused to divulge the exact con
tents of the letter
The New York and Boston officers
with the Federal authorities for months
have been maklnc n search for the
yen ler of the cards The Lackawanna
police have been nssured that all of the
police machinery of the Government and
the great Kastern cities will be brought
to bear on the case.
Detectives In this city were actively
engaged to-day In looking for the news

.los-cph Josephs on Seneca street In
Buffalo ieeral months ago.
So far the police have been unable
to locate the newsboy referred to.

efforts of the detectives have so far
bo'ii unsuccessful.
ilef JlcGarr said to-day that the
first card was nulled here on Septem

man will surrender.
Mrs Henry Krutl;. the mother of the
boy who was found murdered in Central
Park ten years ago. telephoned the West
SlMy-elghth street station last night
and asked If the New York police were
aiding the Buffalo authorities In their
search for the murderer. She was as
sured that they were. At her home at
K'O West Slxtv-llrst street Mrs. Kruck
told Detcetlve Charles Mllllgan that her
son had appeared and spoken to her
many times In her dreams. Once, she

gl.i7.Ier with a pair of blue overalls who
had enticed him Into the park and thero
strangled him.
Although Deputy Commissioner
Dougherty said last night that the po
lice have obtained no clue as to the
Identity of the maniac who wrote to
Chief of Police Ray R. Gllson of Buffalo
that he had enticed many boyB from
their homes and then strangled them

These 5,000 fine quality Shirts are
wonderful values at one-thirty-five.
I There arc no two ways about the values in this sale.
They attest at a glance the importance of this offering,
just as the specifications themselves indicate the unre
strictive character of the assortments. But this sale hap
pens to be the first of a new lot of Fall Shirtings, and not
even a great reduction in wholesale cost could induce us
to spare the assortments and disappoint you. So into
this special offering today go all of those new designs
which are the proper thing for smart men this Fall.
J Made of domestic and imported cheviots, Madras and
percales, in plain blues, tans, helios and grays, and plain
whites; as well as in a variety of clever colored striped
effects, with satin stripes between. Plain, pleated and
soft bosoms, starched or double turn back cuffs. Beauti
ful in workmanship and finish, for they arc the product
of a shirt maker who has no superior in the business.
Sizes 14 to 18 neck, and sleeves from 32 to 36 inches.

J The last time we had a sale of Sweater Coats you could
hardly sec the sweaters for the men who were buying
them. And at that the values averaged lower than in this
sale, so that today is full of promise for this offering.
Indeed, it ought to be, if big values are of any account, for
these Sweater Coats arc bargains from the word go.
I There arc two kinds pure worsted Sweater Coats,
plain or fancy weave, in a medium weight, made with
double collar or V neck, and two pockets; the second va
riety arc Heavy Knit Shaker sweater garments, with a
couple of patch pockets, and a big rough honest collar

in
Prince Stefan Ncmanjlch-Dushanjlch,
to glvo him the title which ho claims.
appeared last night at the Church of
the Reconciliation, Nostrand and Jef
ferson nvenues, Brooklyn, with an
nppeal for funds for the Red Cross
Society to help the suffering men and
women whose troubles are caused by
the Balkan wars.
Hut the Prince did not appeal for
funds for the Serbo-Amerlcan Red Crops
Society; ho has transferred his alle
glanco to tho United Red Cross SO'
clety.
I'rof, Michael Idvorsky Pupln of Co
lumbla University, president of tho
Serbo-Amerlcan Red Cross Society, who
made a statement to Tim Hun. printed
yesterday morning, In which he said
that If the Prince was collecting funds
for his society lie do?sn't know any
thing about It, was answered yesterday
ny tlie J'rlnco, who displayed a printed
authorization of the society, which bore
a signature, which read "M. I. Pupln."
The Prince says Prof. Pupln knows
of tho work he has been doing for tho
society and himself handed the signed
authorization to the Prlnco.
The Prince Is 16 yenrs old, small but
straight. He appeared at the churqh
accompanied by his younger brother,
who Is 13 years old, and who looked
llko an uncommonly bright, well dressed
and well educated American boy.
"My attention has been called to an
article In The Sun about the lecture
which Is to bo given at Carnegie Hall
next Friday night by my futher," said
tho Prince, "which Is to bo for tho bene
fit or the Reel Cross or tho Dalkan allies,
ir Pror. Pupln said what Is credited to
him by Tun Sun he displays an aptitude
for false statements which Is appalling.
"Prof, Pupln's name has never been
used In connection with this lecture, be
cause nobody could see that any par
ticular value was attached jo It. In the
second place, I never asked Prof. Pupln
to permit the use of his name.
"I never told Prof. Pupln that my,
father was bringing over from Servta
proofs of our right to the tttls. Naltkar.
Variety in Men's
Overcoats
If Variety is the spice of
life.
If Variety is also the
price of life, for a little
less of it would extend
the time limit on our
days.
I But variety is tho
spice of dress, and the
life of dress, and often
the price of success, and
you cannot have too
much of it, provided
that variety is tempered
with good taste.
II We are going to sug
gest, therefore, that in
selecting your overcoat
this season, you avail
yourself of an unusual
opportunity to get'
something different
from what you arc ac-'
customed to, for va- '
riety in overcoat fabrics
and styles is the most
notable feature of cur
rent overcoat fashions.
The fabrics embrace
rough surface cloths;
imported and domestic
long sheared or close
nap chinchillas; and a
gorgeous collection of
fancy mixture coatings,
with fancy reversible
backs.
i The colorings include
browns, various shades
of gray, the new Cam
bridge colors, and last
and most important,
that rich shade of blue
which is not so much
a choice as a mandate
of fashion this year.
H The models are single
and double breasted,
knee length styles, with
cord or velvet piped
edges, button through
or fly fronts, and plain,
full belted and half belt
ed backs.
But let us not subor
dinate tailoring and
style to fabrics and
models, for brush and
palette do not make
the artist, but arc only
a vehicle for expression.
r What makes those
Saks overcoats worthy
of your earnest con--sideration
is the fact
that they are styled
better, tailored better,
finished better, and in
every other respect bet
ter than the "next
best."
