WOMAN ACCUSED
OF BEING VAMPIRE
Counsel for Girl Charged with
Murder Says Widow Is
the Real Culprit
• DYING STATEMENT RULED OUT
_. ,
Attorney Claims Wife Had Motive,
Inclination and Opportunity
to Slay Husband
t-,ciai~l Pre*»]
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 30 Two
decisions in favor of the defense in
the trial of Hattle Le Blanc, charged
■with the murder of Clarence F. Glover,
and the accusation by the defendant's
counsel thai Mrs. Lillian M. Glover,
the widow, had the motive, Inclination
and opportunity to shoot her husband
were developments In the case today.
District Attorney Iliggins fought
hard to gel before the jury Glover's
dying statement that Hattle Le Blanc
had shot him. Judge Bond overruled
him, however, saying after hearing a
dozen witnesses yesterday and two to
day the evidence did not show that
Glover knew his end was near. The
district attorney told the court "the
dying declaration" was one of the
essentia! props of the government's
case and that only circumstantial evi
dence remained.
The prosecution had not pone far in
its evidence when it was found thai
the defense on cross-examination of a
witness was seeking to turn the attack
on Mrs Glover. The district attorney
protested strongly, but Melvin M.
Johnson, counsel for th- defense, de
clared that he purppoped to show 'Mrs.
Glover "had the motive, the Inclina
tion, the mental and physical capacity
arid the opportunity to murder her
husband "
"I expect to prove this." said Mr.
Johnson, "by the acts and declarations
of this woman before and after her
husband's murder. I desire to show
that she was a vampire, and I use the
word advisedly."
Judge Bond decided to repeat his
method of weighing the evidence be
fore allowing It to lie submitted to
the jury.
REFUSED TO IKE HI'SBA*SD
This evidence was given by Dr. X.
W. Cousens, who owns the private hos
pital to which Glover staggered after
he was shot. Dr. Cousens told of call
ing Mrs. Glover by telephone and of her
coming to tho hospital, of her refusal
to see her husband, and of her going
away with the request that she be no
tified in case of Glover's death. Later
there came an inciuirv by telephone as
to Glover's condition and whether he
had Implicated his wife in the shooting.
Judge Bond then decided that the
jury might hear the evidence against
Mrs. Glover.
Dr. Cousens repeated his testimony
under cross-examination.
The prosecution then called Mrs.
Glover. She told of her discovery Of
the alleged relation between her hus
band and the defendant. She explained
her failure to see her husband at the
hospital by saying she was Taint and
was told he was about to be operated
on. Although officers searched her
house twice and she searched it once,
it was not until three days after the
alleged murder that Hattie I,c Blanc
was found hiding under a bed in one of
the rooms. How she came there the
witness did not know.
She. Identified jewelry found near the
laundry as belonßrlntr to Hattie Le
Blanc, as well as a. handkerchief found
in the laundry. She said her husband
had several firearms in the house and
usually carried a revolver. She identi
fied the weapon which the prosecution
claims was used. Her direct examina
tion had been concluded when court
adjourned.

COOK CONFESSES
NORTH POLE ERROR
Arctic Explorer Admits He May
Have Deceived Himself
and Others
[ Associated FrtM]
NEW TORK, Nov. 30.—Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, the Brooklyn explorer, In an
article to be published in Hampton's
magazine, confesses that ho does not
know whether he reached the north
pole or not. Dr. Cook, who has been
In hiding for more than a year, has
informed the editors of the magazine
that he will return to the United
States with his wife and children De
cember 22 to spend Christmas here.
In his story he deals With the psychol
ogy of ids adventure, and says:
"Did I gel to the north pole? Per
haps I made a mistake in thinking
that I did. Perhaps I did not make a
mistake. After mature thought I con
fess that I do not know absolutely
whether I reached the pole or not.
This may come as an amazing state
ment, but I am willing to startle the
world If, by so doing, I can get an op
portunity to present my case as a
man. Much as tho attainment of the
north pole once meant to me, the
sympathy and confidence of my fellow
men mean more.
"Fully, freely and frankly I shall
tell you everything. Tell you every
thing—and leave the decision with you.
If, after reading my story, you say,
'Cook is sincere and honest; half crazed
by months of isolation and hunger, he
believed he reached the pole; he is
not a faker,' then I shall be satisfied."
Dr. Cook tells the story of his life
and pictures the overpowering ambi
tion for exploration that finally cul
minated in his effort to reach the pole.
He declares that the time he con
vinced himself he had discovered the
pole he wan half mad. He spent two
years in his quest, and during that
time endured hunger and privation
that, he says, would have unbalanced
any mind.
X REGION OF I.YSANITY
He says it would be impossible for
any man to demonstrate beyond ques
tion that he had been to the north
pole. He characterized the region as
one of insanity, where one cannot be
lieve the evidences gathered by one's
own eyes. When he found how tre
mendous a sensation his statement
that he had attained the pole created
he was overcome with bewilderment.
"I have been called the most monu
mental impostor. in history," says Dr.
Cook. "I believe that In every unde
sirable way I stand unique."
Dr. Cook has been working on his
story since last August, and says his
"solo desire Is to make the people of
the United States realize. Just what he
went through during his two and a
half years in the Arctic fastnesses,
and to make them see what processes,
of thinking or lack of thinking it was
that led him to do the thing which
confirmed to the average, mind the
worst suspicions against him."

WASHINGTON, Nov. .'to. Testimony
in the eastern trunk line freight ad
vance case "as virtually concluded by
the interstate commerce commission to
day alter many witnesses for the ship
pers had agreed that the proposed in
creases would localize competition. hurt
the western market for eastern goods
and otherwise seriously interfere with
their business.
The pending suspension of the pro
posed advances is until February, and
In the meantime on January 9 the argu
ments of counsel will he made. The
commission may he prepared to render
its decision by the expiration of the
resent extension.
There was a steady run of witnesses
today In support of the shippers' pro
tests'. They, Include heads of the West
inghouse Airbrake company, of the
Railway Business association, of the
American Locomotive company, and of
shoe and leather, drugs, cotton goods
and other enterprises.
OVERCAPITALIZATION IS CHARGED
Clifford Thorne of Washington, la.,
state railway commissioner-elect, coun
sel for the Corn Belt Meat Producers*
association, contended that in four
states alone the railroads had been
overcapitalized by $400,000,000. This
was based on statistical summary of
the actual physical valuation of 185
properties having a combined capital
ization of more than $1,000,000,000.
Mr. Thorne contended that railway
net earnings have been Increasing fast
er than their expenses, and that the
credit of the roads was good. He urged
that the only proof offered by the rail
roads to support their argument of
credit impairment was that they could
not market 4 per cent bonds at par, an
ability which he regarded as by no
means indicative of bad credit. He said
railroad securities are more desirable
today than five, ten, fifteen or twenty
years ago, and command higher mar
ket rices than those of other public
utility or industrial companies.
"Tell your troubles to the commis
sioner," was the only consolation Pres
ident John Lawrence of the Lawrence
company of Boston and New York tes
tified he received from the railroads
when ho tried to talk to them about
advances which meant $70,000 increased
cost annually to his cotton piece goods
business.
Edwin F. Fobes of Boston, candy
manufacturer, contended that candy is
a necessity and not a luxury.
SHIPS COME BURDENED
WITH CHRISTMAS TREES
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.—Ten thousand
Christmas trees reached Chicago yes

brought in a whole shipful of them,
just as he has done each year for the
last thirty-two.
With trees in the hold, trees in the
galley, trees about the wheeihouse and
trees piled high on the deck arnidship,
he sailed into port.
"We had a hard time finding our
cargo, but we finally got a load of as
line trees as I over carried—and I've
carried several," said the ruddy-faced
captain when he tied up at the dock.
"I get my trees up in the Lake Su
perior region. It took us seven weeks
to sail the 900 miles home, but we
reached here Without losing a twig.
Besides the trees we have enough ever
greens to make a wreath for nearly
every window in the city. Tomorrow
we will begin to unload."
GRAHAME-WHITE ASSERTS
AEROPLANES WILL END WAR
Aviator Says Sky Battle Too Hor
rible to Contemplate
NEW YORK, Nov. SO.—Claude Gra- j
hame-Whlte sailed tor England today,
and with him went the James Gordon 1
Bennett International speed trophy,
which ho lifted from America at the
recent international meet at Belmont
park. Before departing he gave a sum
mary of the trend of aviation In gen
eral and its development In this country
in particular.
"it is when we set a speed of 150 to
200 miles an hour that the fun will
begin," he said. 'People are not going
to adopt (lying as a practical means
of travel until it has been made faster
than other modes now In existence, It
will be perfectly possible for passen
gers to endure any speed because they
will be encased In an air-tight cham
ber, just as they arc now in a vesti
billed train."
Mr. Grahame-White thinks that the
aeroplane will make battleships use
less, open the secrets of fortifications
and put an end to war. The possibili
ties of war in the air, he believes, arc
i too horrible for civilization to contem
plate.

federal government reaping benefits of
the • west's natural resources was a
selfish one on the part of the easterners,

for themselves In this respect. Governor

of new nationalism. He declared mo
nopolies could be controlled easier by
state legislatures than by congress, and
that new nationalism and the id. of
greater centralization of power was

for bettor Jurisdiction.

rights and public lands, although he
said the recently completed irrigation
work done by the government in his
territory was beneficial.

Compensation," suggested that a com
mittee of governors be appointed to
draft a bill to bo presented to all leg
islatures. No action was taken on the
suggestion, and the subject was de
ferred until tomorrow.

manent organization was discussed at
