WIFE OF STOKES
CALLED TO STAID
She Contradicts One Point in
Story of "Show Girl"
Witness.
MISS CONRAD CONTINUES
Her Recital Docs Not Agree
With Evidence of Negro
Butler.
-:
N'ew York, December 13.?The case \
of tho State against Lillian Graham i
und Ethel Cuurnil. on the charge of at?
tempting to murder \V. E. O. Stokes,
probably "ill bo in the hands ot the
jury by to-m?rr?w n lit. Tho trial of
the "shooting show girls" held Interest
to-day through tile reappearance of the
spirited Miss Conrad (or cross-examl-I
nation, and tho unexpected calling of .
Stokcs's young wife late in tho after- '
noon.
The calling of Mrs. Stokos as a
witness for the State came us a *ur- |
prise to the defense and to the spec?
tators. Ilor testimony, however, was
Ibrlof. ' She said she had married 1
Stokes last February 11, hut had lived
at Stokes's hotel for four or five
months previous to that dato. The '
main feature of her testimony whs the
contradiction of Miss Conrad's deolara- '
lion that tin defendant had met
Stokes at the Hotel Ansonla on" the !
morning of May '.';?. Mrs. Stokes du- I
Clnred that her husband and herself
were away that morning.
L'thc-1 Conrad's story of the shoot?
ing Of Stokes remained unshaken in j
r.ny material point by the long cross- :
i xumlnation to-day. She said mokes
shot twice Without effect In tho battle
last June In the apartment which ,
Miss raham and she shared, during !
Which she admitted that she and Miss
Craham also fired In self-defense and
wounded Stokes in the legs. It was
' .. s life or ours," she declared.
When asked why she did not tell the
pjolicc that stokes hud tired twlcu
she said she did not tell the police ait
she knew because they were "old tui
tlc-tales. anyhow."
After the failure to shako the wit?
ness' story, Horace Hlx, a negro butler
on Stokcs's farm in Lexington. Ivy..
Was called. He told a story much ut
variance with that ot Miss Graham,
who had declared she was detained at
Stokcs's farm for two nights. His
iworc that while Miss Graham was a
K test of Stokes she seemed very happy,
i.t..l that when she left she sold sue
had had a good time. Hlx suld lie had
heard her ask about "that money,"
but did not know w'nut was meant.
Mrs. Stella Singleton, sister of Lil?
lian Graham, probably will be the last
witness for ihe defense to-morrow, and
the summing up will follow. Miss

Graham testllled thul Mrs. Singleton I
had warned her of Stokes being a Very I
dangerous man, bocutise she "had heard
he had murdered Al. Adams," the policy

SOME CAPITOL STORIES

Washington, December 13.?Although

time which cannot be kept secret. 'Pais

from -.inc. of the Southern Sta#?s. He

most enthusiastic Clnrk supporter. It
was Clark, so far as be was concerned.

ing but Clark to It, so far ns the next
t' cupalit of the White House Is con?

ornor Harmon appeared >>n the scene.
He iv?a talking with a group of mem?
bers, and one of the friends of the i
strong Clark nun, thinking to play a I
joke on him, introduced him to Gover- I
nor Harmon. T\eti followed a few j
warm words fcsn the Southern mem- !
her to file Ohio Governor, in which the !
latter, the Southerner said, was sure'
to win; no other man. In fact, even |

The Youngest Confederate Soldier.
Tho que-stion of who was the young?
est boy In the Civil War to actually
spill blood has boon settled at last.
It appears to be Congressman T. W.
Sims, of Tennessee, who says he did
so when nine years of age. ?
Mow he happened to spill blood at
so tender un age 's expressed this wuy
by tho Tennessee Congressman:
"You will bo porhaps surprised to
lourn that I shed the first blood in
Tennessee during tho Civil War. but
I did. I was only nine years old, at
n little pluco In Wayne county, thou
called Martin's Mills, where my father
lived. My father had made tho mis
lake, from the view of his neighbors,
of casting the only vote for separation
east ?n tho box In which ho voted, t
thought my father .knew how to vote
iuid that ho was on the right side: so
I put on a little blue cockade that In?
dicated I was on that side, and I walked
out In town and marched around and
hollei*ed "Hurrah for Jeff. Davis and
the .Southern Confederacy!" and about
that time tho Union boys came there,
without respect to color, In very great
force. I had a Confederate Hag raised
?ver n hollow stump, and they toie it
into tatters; they tore every Insignia
of the Confederacy oft me. and I got
the worst beating that any Confederate
ever got 'n battle who survived lt. I
went home, torn and disheveled, and
my mother advised me thu I had bet?
ter keep out of the wur unless I had
somebody to tight on my sldo."
