Evening shadows Interrupted a vigorous cross-examination by the commonwealth, Jm1k Watson ending the ordeal by adjourning court until tomorrow, when Prosecutor Wenden burg will continue his questions. A lone figure was young Beattle in the crowd that surrounded him on all sides, even windows and trees com manding the courtroom being thick with staring faces.

Out-gamed, outgeneraled and out fought, George Hackenschmldt, the RutuJan Lion, today forever laid down his hope of tearing the world's cham pionship of the wrestling game from Frank Gotch of Iowa. Goteh, after a ripping, tearing ses sion, took the first fall from the big foreigner In 14 minutes, 18 and 1-5 seconds, wltn a reverse body hold and wrist lock. He secured the second fall In five minutes, 13 1-2 seconds, with the famous toehold, which no man on whom It was fastened has ever been able to break. Hackenschmldt was apparently un trained for the match. He was hog fat and was clearly beaten before he entered the ring. Gotch was trained to the minute and beat the Russian at every turn and twist of the game. Jack Curley, manager of Hacken- schmidt, after the match, said that his man was badly Injured In the sec ond fall; that his leg had received a serious Injury and that the ligaments were torn irom -their place ana Gotch's grip had caused the Russian to quit cold. I knew no on could throw my husband.- said Mrs. Gotch, after It was over. For ten minutes they sparred. Finally Gotch picked Hack up bodily and threw him to his knee with great violence. Gotch then resorted to his old methods of punishing the Russian with a series of lightning-like Jabs to the nose while seeking to get an arm hold. The Russian displayed great strength when he broke Gotch's try for a toe hold. Hackenschmldt broke away with a rush and both were on their feet again. Gotch threw Hack to the floor with a leg hold. Regaining his feet, Hacken schmidt got behind Gotch and threw him violently. Both men by this time pere per spiring freely. But Gotch smiled con fidently when Hackenschmldt attempt ed to trip and he caught Hack and stood him on his head. Gotch's right hand then sought the Russian's leg and as he pulled the Lion over, his left band gripped the Russian's right wrist Hackenschmldt rolled over and Smith, the referee, placed his hand on Gotch's back. The first fall was won by a reverse body lock. Hackenschmldt ltnmedately began bullying Gotch in the second. In an effort to wear him down, by sheer strength. Gotch met every move with equal show of strength. Gotch weal oenina me nusaiau wuu a icg hold and immedately sought to break. Evidently he was afraid of the grip and feared the champion would break his leg, the Russian after a brief show of resistance quit. Resisting feebly, he turned over on his back. The time of the second fall was 5:32. Making a total of 19 minutes and 42 seconds for both falls. With a look of pain and surprise Hackenschmldt rushed to his dress ing room, while the crowd cheered the conqueror.
