Four bod ies have been recovered from the icy waters of the Delaware, and many rescue parties are dragging the river today for other bodies hurled into the river late yesterday, when a plat form on which Ihey were viewing ihc launching of the cargo carrier Wau kau collapsed. The number of mlFBiner is variously estimated at from twelve to eight een. Police are experiencing diffi culty in checking up the list of miss ing, as some of the occupants of the platform were spectators and other workmen of the Merchant Shipbuild ing Yards, where the accident oc curred. The disaster occurred when the structure, known as the patrol bridge. gave way under the weight of mo;. than twoBcore men. Twenty-eig.it living persons were taken from .v river soon after the accident The Waukau hid the patrol bridge from view of many of the spectator gathered to witness the launching, and several minutes elapsed before the main audience learned of the dis aster. Meanwhile the vessel was launched on time. Police believe the suction of the S.SOO-ton ship as it struck the water may have drawn some of the bodies far into the channel.

WEBSTER'S FATE IN HANDS OF JUDGES BALTIMORE. April L Carryle T. Webster, thirty-five years old, al leged slayer of his bride. Berate Chaney Webster, twenty years old, in the Hotel. Belvedere' last October. whose trUl was begun in the crimi nal court Thursday before- Judges Heulaler and Dawkins will probably know his fte today. Testimony tor the prosecution and defease was closed yesterday afternoon. The plea for conviction of aiqrder in uio nrsc degree, ic is unaersxooo, will be made by State's Attorney William F. Broening and Deputy State's Attorney Roland R. Merchant. W. Trlckett Giles and former State Senator E. V. Hammond will present the defensive argument. As far as testimony is concerned the case is one of the most remark able to be tried in & criminal court here for some time. The prosecu tion has offered a bulk of evidence bordering on the line of promedJta. tion. On the other hand, the de fense has kept its case clearly on the lines of its plea of "not guilty" be cause of insanity and drunkenness.' Both sides got Into the record the testimony of alienists -Dr. Charles G. Hill and Dr. William H. White for the defense and Dr. J. Percy Wade and Dr. John R. Oliver for the prose cution. Apparently It was aa eves break for the alienists, but the testi mony ? one witness, John B. Homer, of Deals Island, who testified that twelve of Webster's relatives were more or less insane," stood oat. Mr Horner is not an alienist, but he played a .great hand for the "insan ity and drunkenness plea." . Dr. Wade, who is superintendent of Spring Grove Hospital, near Catons vllle, testified that he had heard all of the testimony in the ease and was prepared to answer the question as to Webster's state of mind at the time and after the commission of the mur der. He said Webster was in sound mind. In hie opinion; that he knew the nature of his act. On cross-examination Dr. Wade was asked by, Mr. Hammond if a- sane man would lie beside the body of a dead person, for many hours. The alienist re plied: "An Insane man would have given an alarm, but a sane man would con trol himself." Samuel H. Carey, of Washington, s witness for the defense, told of the subnormal behavier of Webster when he was a boy and how he was seised with an uncontrollable anger at slight provocation. Ira Webster was called by the defense and testified that Webster's father and mother wero first cousins.
