PLEA OF NESTOR IS SELF DEFENSE Defendant in Murder Trial Says Victim Threatened to Kill Him.

Testimony In tbe Nestor caM closed late this afternoon. Donald Nestor, the defendant was on tbe stand this morning. The young man, charged with first degree murder, gave his testimony in a calm manner. He said he struck the blow which killed Richard Cook in self defense. Stories of witnesses for the defense differed slightly. Many believe Nestor will receive a Ught sentence. Because of the youth of the defendant the case is drawing more spectators than any since the Owen Terry trial eight months ago. Nestor first recited tbe events of his life since he was eight years old. When he was ten years old his mother died. He attended school until he was fourteen. Much of his life has been spent near Middleport, O., he said. He has worked as a paper hanger. Came Here In 19t2. He left Ohio when he was nineteen and came to Richmond in April, 1912. He says that the fact that he has always been unable to get work here was what led to the argument which terminated in the stabbing of Cook. "I was telling the strong arm man at the Theatorinm that Richmond was a good town," Nestor said. "Then Cook stepped up and said I didn't know what I was talking about. We argned for a short time and he took out his knife and started to rub the blade against his hand. "Then I left and went into the Theatori-um. After I bad been in there a few minutes, I saw a pair of scissors and put them in my right hand pocket. I walked out and crossed the street and Cook came up from the west with another man. He called me names and said he would cut my heart ont. Then I struck at him with the scissors and he swore again. I left and ran toward Seventh street." Prosecuting Attorney Reller asked Nestor why he had thrown the scissors away when he expected another attack from Cook. "I thought I had broken one blade so I Just tossed them into the street," Nestor said. Nestor told how the police had apprehended him and brought him to police headquarters. At that time, he did not think he had seriously injured Cook and did not know the scissors blades were broken off in his victim's head. Others Heard Threat. "The police put me in jail and then Mr. Gormon took me in his office and I told him all about it. I did not know that Cook was hurt so badly," Nestor said. While Mr. Gormon secured the confession on the night of October 24, he wrote what Nestor said and secured his signature to the paper. Nestor said he had had three glasses of beer the day of the stabbing, October sixth. Chester Ellis, Charles Bennett, Elmer Schwab, Andrew Walker and others testified they had seen Cook with his knife open and had heard the threat that he would "cut Nestor's heart out." Nestor was less excited in giving his testimony than several of the witnesses. He was able to remember almost exactly what he had told Mr. Gormon in the confession, part of which was untrue, he admitted on the witness stand. He had told in his first confession that he found the scissors on South Seventh 6treet and later, Mr. Gormon had had the broken bandies identified as part of a pair of scissors which had been in the Theatorium for some time. Judge Fox cited the Thaw case late today, when Attorney Allen objected to Prosecuting Attorney Reller's questiontng a witness on rebuttal as to Cook's reputation for peace and soberlety more than a year ago when the witness worked with Cook at the American Seeding Machine company. Judge Fox overmled the objection saying that the same question had been fought in the cases of the state of New York against Hary K. Thaw, in which William Travers Jerome was state's atorney.

HO HEED TO VISIT SOUTHERN STATES Straw Hats May Bud Soon in Case Warm Weather Continues.

If the weather man does not turn on

some real winter variety of atmosphere

soon straw hats will be budding and fretful clothing merchants will be confined to their beds. It was warmer in Richmond today than it was in Los Angeles, California and northern Florida, which are meo cas for winter tourists. At the water works pumping station Weather Observer Vossler reported 64 degrees at noon, but a reliable thermometer in the down town business district registered 70 degrees at 1 o'clock. Indications are that the "heated speH" will continue a day or two longer, and for variety's sake there will be one or two April showers. No sunstrokes had been reported up to noon today.

POLICE SQUAD GETS THREATENING NOTE "Inner Circle" Man Says Station May Be Blown Up.

CHICAGO, Jan. 28. Police Captain James Storen and all the police officers of the Maxwell Street police station were threatened with death today. They could escape death, according to a note delivered to the captain, if they released Morris Bernstein, a Russian anarchist and five other men arrested last night, during a riot of 200o unemployed men. The note was carried to the station by two boys. They said it had been given to them by a man several blocks from the station and that he had told them to hurry. It was written in good English with red ink and gave the police officers until noon to liberate the prisoners. It said the lives of the six men would be sacrificed if the policemen could not be killed without blowing up the station. The note was signed. "One of the inner circle." A heavy guard was thrown about the station and as the time for arranging the six prisoners in tbe Maxwell street court Captain Storen ordered extraordinary precautions taken to prevent an attempt to forcibly liberate the six prisoners.

CITY STATISTICS

Again comes the order from the postoffice department at Washington that parcel post and delivery wagons are to be changed. Less than a year ago postmasters were instructed to make the wagons red. This time they are to have pale green bodies with red running gears and black stripes. The department is atempting to standardize the wagons as to sice and color. No time is designated in which the changes are to be made, so as the wagons used by the Richmond force need repainting and replacing, they will be made to conform to the new requirements.

ARRANGE PROGRAM FOR TRUST LAWS Members of Senate Committee Called to Meet on Matter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Members of the senate interstate commerce committee were notified today by Chairman' Newland to meet to formulate a program for hearing on Interstate Trade Commission bill. The house Judiciary committee and the senate interstate commerce commission In preparing for independent hearings has been accepted by senators as evidence that Joint hearing will not be held on the trust measure. The trade .commission bill is the only one before the senate. The introduction of this bill has failed to stimulate interest in the seaate in a program of trust legislation. Other affairs occupy the attention of the senate and it is predicted that the upper house will make little progress with trust legislation until after the house has passed one or more bills. Representative Bartlett of Georgia announced today that the Bartlett Bacon bill exempting labor organizations from the provision of the Sherman act and restricting the issuing of injunctions, will be taken up by the house judiciary committee as soon as the anti-trust bill suggested by President Wilson shall have been reported out
