TREND OF THE TESTIMONY

ixvhstic.atiox or industhial SCIIUOL AND W03IAVS FIIISO.X. Mrs. CInIre A. AVnlkor antl Mntron 2VeMtt Before the Committee A'ext Session on Frldny. The Investigation of the management of the Industrial School for Girls and Woman's Prison was resumed in Room 110 at the Statehouse last night. Four witnesses have now given their testimony. "Without exception the wltnessei have testified that llis3 Keely was the possessor of a "tempestuous temper," and all have found fault In a general way with her mode of punishing the Inmates cf the institution, but each witness has either been proven to have a grievance against Miss Keely or has admitted it without proof, and In no Instance has either of thera been able to narrate on prove a speclus case In support of the general charge of cruelty. The examination of the witnesses was conducted last night by Senator Blnkley, the chairman of the committee, Sona-. tor Agnew not being present. Mrs. Claire A. "Walker, a former member of the board of managers, was the first witness last night. She testified that in her opinion the board of managers was on the whole painstaking. The board met once a week, she said, for the purpose of transacting the business brought before it by the superintendent. The last meeting attended by the witness was the first of last January. At that time, she said, a voucher fell Into her hands which was for a dozen hypodermic needles. She called the attention of the board to the voucher, but nothing was done in the matter. The witness said she did not recall that any extraordinary matter concerning tho management of the institution had been discussed by the board. The meeting of the board last November, the witness Bald, had been a memorable one to her, as it was on thl3 occasion that the open rupture occurred between her and the other members of the board. The witness said there were many Instances In which the superintendent of the institution had manifested a "tempestuous temper." She had known of Miss Keely administering whippings to the girla, but had never witnessed any such exhibition. The board, she said, had tried to persuade Miss Keely to desist from whipping the girls, but the superintendent had declared there was no other way to discipline the girls. Mrs. Walker said that in so far as she knew Miss Keely was not addicted to tho use of intoxicants. She did believe, however, that Miss Keely was In the habit of using narcotics. There had been occasions when Miss Keely would appear sleepy and drowsy. GIRLS NO LONGER HANDCUFFED. The witness said that Miss Keely had formerly handcuffed girls to tho doors of their cells, but had abandoned that mode of punishment on account of the remonstrance of the board of managers. Mrs. Walker said that some years ago a large box was kept In the basement In which Miss Keely was in the habit of confining the girls as a punishment for certain offenees. This box was removed a number of years ago, the witness said, but Miss Keely had often declared since that time that It had proven a most excellent way oZ punishing the girls. The food at the Institution, Mrs. Walker said, was, generally speaking, above reproach. On crossexamination Mrs. Walker testified that she had never at any time wanted to be superintendent of the Institution, and though Miss Keely had mads statements to that effect they were totally untrue. Mrs. Walker admitted that she had never seen the box in the basement to which she had referred in her examination in chief, but had only seen the place where it had been. Sre laid that iliss Ream, another member of the board, had told her that the floor vhere the punishment box had stood was covered with vermin. On further questioning Mrs. Walker said there was vermin all over the buildings and that it was impossible for It to be otherwise. Mrs. "Walker said much of her information about the alleged bad treatment administered to th girls by Miss Keely had been obtained frcm the girls whom she had taken from the institution to work In her own home, fche admitted that many of these girls were unruly and that on one occasion she had sent for Miss Keely to come to her houso for the purpose of correcting the girl. The girls in many Instances Mrs. Walker said, were very hard to control, but nono were Incorrigible. The next witness called was Mrs. Rachasl Nesbltt. the administration matron of the Institution. The witness said she had known of the girls in the Institution being whipped on their bare bodies This form of punishment had been administered by order of the superintendent. It had been witnessed by Mrs. Nesbltt some three or four times within the last three years. Tho punishment was administered with a strap, the witness said, md as many as twentyfive or thirty blows had been given at one whipping. One instance was related by the witness in which Miss Keely had slapped a girl by the name of Richardson in tho face thirty-five or forty times. Tne punishment became so severe that witness left the room before it was concluded. Tht witness had no knowledge of any girl being tot ruck on the bare body w ithin the Iai.t six months, nor could she recall any other specific case in which Immoderate punishment had been administered by Miss Keely. The witness betrayed tho fact that She had a grievance against Miss Keely. ho said she had been publicly reprimanded ty the superintendent in a maner that was unjust and uncalled for. The witness said Pi.e thought there had been a change in the- atMtude of the superintendent toward the inmates of the institution during the lust two months, as 3he was more kind to them than formerly. At the conclusion of Mrs. Nerbitt'a testimony tho further hearing of the case was adjourned until Friday evei.ing. NEW BUSINESS C0NCEENS. Several File Articles vlth the Secretary of State.

Important Decision Against the Detroit United Hallway Company. LANSING, Mich., Feb. 12. The Michigan Supreme Court, to-day, handed down an opinion affirming the Judgment . of the Wayne county Circuit bench that franchises received from the city are taxable. The declrion was in the case of what is now the Detroit United Railway Company, the corporate name of the consolidated street-railway systems of the city against the Common Council of Detroit. Last year tae assessors increased the assessment of the railway from fc!.fcö0,ö00 to 18.142,101. on the assumption that its franchises were taxable. The Circuit Court confirmed the assessor's action, and the case was then carried to the Supreme Court. The railway company applied for a mandamus to compel the Common Council to strike from the assessment rolls the sums alleged to represent the value placed on the company's franchises. The Supreme Court, in denying the application, declared that the propriety of treating aggregations of property as a unit is as natural and proper for the purpose of assessment as for the purpose of tale, especially where the various elements are so essential to the purpose for which they are combined, that the withdrawal of one would Impair the use of, or destroy all. for the purpose to which they, in their new form, are adapted. The mandamus asked for, to compel the striking of the assessment from the rolls, was denied.

Damnelng Testimony Against the Minneapolis Reporter, Who Ia Being: Tried for Murder. MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 12. The prosecution In the Hamilton murder case rested to-day after introducing Officer Thomas J. Rooney, who testified that Hamilton said to him when he was arrested: "Officer, I will go with you; I am prepared to take the consequences. Let the law take its course. I killed him, but I did It In selfdefense." This testimony was 'expected. Hamilton listened to the statement with a perfectly impassive faoe. Rooney's evidence related to the conversatipn with Hamilton on the way from the West Hotel to the police station. It was of a nature precluding publication. To-morrow the defense will open with an address by Robert L. Penney. Every effort is being made to have A. M. Barbe, the St. Louis traveling man, brought here In time to testify. His evidence is said to be of the highest Importance to the defense, Hamilton, it Is said, will take the stand and give his version of the fight which ended In Day's death. After court there was an impulsive movement of the crowd toward Hamilton men vying with women to shake his hand and utter the hope that he would be able to prove his Innocence. Patrolman Rooney, In giving his testimony to-day, said: "When I entered the billiard room that morning Watchman O'Malley said to me: 'Officer, take this man and lock him up, he did it.' I said, 'Did whatr 'Did this," he replied, leading me to where Day's dead body lay on a billiard table. I took hold of Hamilton's coat sleeve and told him to come along. He was sitting In a chair in the barroom. Some one suggested delay, but Hamilton got up and said: 'I will go with you; let the law take its course. I'll take the consequences. I killed him, but I did it in self-defense.' Hamilton said: 'This trouble Is all on account of a girl, Miss and then he gave her name. 'We both had been going with her. I told her that Day was in ill health. She told him. He got sore and has had it in for me ever since. Feel of this bump Day did that. I had to do him. I couldn't stand and let him beat me and do nothing.' "Axterward he said: 'This is terrible; 1 wish it had been the other way.' 'What other wayr I asked. That he had killed me, instead of I him.1 Then he asked me to feel of that bump again and told me that Day had done It, but he didn't know what with. I said: 'It seems to rw a man like you could have taken care of yourself with a slim man like him without using your-knife.' T could if his friends had not jumped on me. As It was I had to do it to save myself.' "After a while Mr. Francis came. He wanted to talk with Hamilton. I said that he might, but that it must be In my presence. Francis said: 'Keep your mouth shut. Don't you say a word until you see me again. Let mo see your knife.' Hamilton produced a small knife. Francis asked if he had another knife. He said 'No.' Then Francis asked: 'Did you have a large knife?' and Hamilton answered 'Yes.' Nothing was said about when he had the large knife or where It was." On cross-examination the witness could not exactly locate the place where the confession was made. His memory was not clear on some other details and the defense endeavored to show that his memory was not of the best. He said Hamilton appeared to be intoxicated and he observed a lump on his forehead and an abrasion of the skin. When Rooney left the stand County Attorney Boardman said, "The state rests Its case." Court was then adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning in order to give the defense a little time to arrange its case. A Conference of missionary workers opened at Philadelphia yesterday. Delegates were present from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Washington. D. C, Illinois and Pennsylvania. The object cf the conference is to discuss the most practical methods of increasing the interest In missionary work, particularly among the members of the young people's societies. Mardl Gras.
