Oil TRIAL TODAY D. G. Spencer, a Highwayman, Charged with Kilting Miss Martha Clackstone. INSANITY TO BE DEFENSE

YOUTH INOAOID IN LEGITIMATE OCCUPATIONS DURING DAY, BUT AT NIGHT HE WAS BURGLAR AND THUG.

(American Nsws Service.) , Springfield. Mam.. Sept 9. A plea of Insanity will probably be relied on to Mve from the electric chair Bertram O. Spencer, the self confeeeed highwayman and murderer, whose case waa called for trial In this city today. Spencer Is charged with the murder of Miss Martha B. Blacks tone and the night of March 31. last The murder. It la alleged, was the climax of a career of crime extending over many years and which the young man successfully concealed by working every day steadily and apparently leading a respectable life. The killing of Miss Blackstone occurred at the home of Mrs. Sarah J. Dow in one of the suburbs of this city. Mrs. Dow, her two daughters and Miss Blackstone. who was a guest for the night were seated In the sitting room about a small table, when an Intruder made a demand for money from the dining room. They looked up to see a masked msn In the dark doorway threatening them with a revolrer. Mrs. Dow retained her composure and replied, "We hare no money," but Miss Blackstone In fright Jumped to her feet and ran screaming Into an adjoining room. The burglar said "If you want to get killed, keep on screaming,' and fired as he spoke, the bullet entering Miss Blackstone's breast Death followed instantly. The murderer turned the revolrer on the group, shooting Miss Harriet Dow in the head and seriously wounding her. The assailant then made his . escape through a grove surrounding the house. a Bloodhounds Were Used. For several days posses aided by bloodhounds scoured Springfield and the entire vicinity In a vain effort to obtain a clue to the murderer. The authorities concluded that the perpetrator of the crime was the same person who had been burglarising Springfield homes for two years past and who had always escaped detection. Finally a citizen whose home had been entered some time previously turned over to the police a gold locket which he believed had been dropped by the burglar while escaping over a fence In the rear of his house. Initial w engraved on the locket and with this clue to work on the police finally arrested Spencer, a young clerk . employed In a local establishment The Initials on the locket corresponded with those of Spencer's sister. "The young man broke down under a 2 4-hours' merciless grilling, and confessed that he was the mysterious masked burglar and the murderer of Miss Blackstone. In his confession Spencer made It clearer that associated with his overpowering desire to steal, were an Intense love of excitement and a high degree of personal vanity. This latter the young man had gratified for two years by baffling the police and reading newspaper account of his exploits. He told the police that he had ex perlenced no qualms of conscience from his crimes. He revealed a career of almost lifelong crime. Follow Ing a blow on the head while he was a small boy, In Lebanon, Conn-, his native town, he began to steal at the age of nine. Later while still a

youth, he held up young women on the highway and entered houses. By engaging In legitimate occupations by day, he had always escaped detection. A JUBILATION DAY

Girl Saves Lad Stuck Fast in Tracks as Train Nears ' , araMasHSM-M-atMtwHMM-MM Unties His Shoe, Pulls Him Out of Danger, Then Says "Forget It" and Disappears His Ankle Was Broken.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept 9. His foot caught in the frog of a track in the Reading Hallway's yards at American and Berks streets and a freight train bearing down on him.. 15-year-old Frank McGovern, who said his home is in Reading, Pa was saved from death last night by a girl, who quickly untied his shoe and pulled him from the path of the train. An in stent later the heavily loaded cars swept past and the train, sparks flying from the wheels and the brake shoes bit into the steel, did not come to a standstill until half the train had passed over the spot where young McGovern had been held prisoner. . In bis efforts to free himself, McGovern broke bis ankle, and he was lying beside the track when trainmen

reached him. . The girl whose act had saved him was seen scurrying down the street "I tried to thank her." McGovern told the trainmen; "but she said, 'forget it and then ran away." He says he doesn't know her address, but that he thinks that he will be able, to find her. He didn't have any money, so he boarded a freight train as it passed through the yards at Reading. He heard the whistle of the train as it neared him, and had about given up hope when the girl came along. "She didn't say a word,". McGovern told the doctors. "She Just knelt down and In a Jiffy she had my shoe untied. Then she grabbed my arm and helped me to tear loose from the shoe. It was a close shave.

RED'.HEARTI

POLICEMAN, FORMERLY OF MANHATTAN, SLAIN WITH WIFE AND CHILDREN- TOWNSPEOPLE AWAKENED BY SCREAMS. Regio, Calabria, Italy, Spt. 9. To the vengeance of the Black Hand society in New York is ascribed the revolting murder of Policeman Rovolin, his wife and six children in the little village of Pellaro, which lies eight miles south of Reggio on the strait of Messina. At 2 o'clock in the -morning some of the townspeople of Pellaro were awakened by the terrified shrieks of a child and rushing to the cottage occupied by the Rovolino family found the 3-year-old daughter of the policeman lying with her throat cut before the open door of her home screaming piteously. Tenderly picking up the little child the villagers carried her inside the house, where they were horrified to

find the remaining members of her family lying dead, all of them having ,

been terribly mutilated by blows from an axe. The Rovolinos suddenly returned from the United States a short time ago and since then, it is said, two attempts have been made to poison them. Rovolino himself spoke of the possibility of vengeance being directed against him. The crime was revolting in its barbarity. Beside the mother lay her 4-month-old babe with its skull crushed in. Despite the efforts of the surgeons to save the life of the little girl whose
