Open day and ntsbt. NEW YORK. Dec. 13. Ethel Conrad, with I.llllan Orahsm on trial charged with shootlnv W. E D. Stokes, the mil lionaire hotel proprietor, told on. the stand today how she stood over a man with a pistol and forced him to sign a statement In which he declared ha never knew her to be guilty of bad conduct, and apologizing for casting slurs upon her character. Mia Conrad said that the man had Insulted her, and that she had repulsed him. Miss Conrad's attorney gave out a statement she said she had obtained In the Summer of 110 from the young man at Plattsburg. X. T. The state ment was signed "Charles L. Miller." and recited that, although ho had seen the girl only once before, ho Induced her to take an automobile ride. During this ride, the statement says, he made insulting propositions to Miss Conrad. but she Indignantly repulsed htm. Finally, the statement says. Millar drove Mlsa Conrad to her borne, but did not enter tho house. Masse la Cleared. Tha statement concludes: "She never drank with ma nor smoked cigarettes in my presence. Ashamed of myself for having caused i lot of untruthful gossip aa to my re lationship with Miss Conrad, I will do everything in my power to vindicate her and myself." When Miss Conrad came back to tha stand, after recess, her attorney ques tioned her about tha Plattaburg Inci dent. She told how she called on Miller and demanded satisfaction. I took a pistol out of my bag. she testified, "and told him I wanted him to write a statement the truth. He was so excited that he couldn't write, s tie caled his brother and dictated the statement to him." Tha statement w. s then read to the Jury and put In evidence. aalrtde Attempt Teld. Miss Conrad today admitted that her first stage rngaKement and the noto riety she gained from an attempt at , sulfide m-ere pretty close together. Bruckner, the prosecutor, tried to show that Mlsa Graham's alleged at tempt at suirliie a few days before the shooting was not real and that tha girl had arranged it for theatrical effect and also to extort money from 8tokes, but Miss Conrad stuck to the story both had told about it. The prosecution then called Horace M. Hlrks. a middle-aged negro who worked for Stokes, on his stock farm at Lexington. Ky. Hicks recalled having seen Miss Graham at Stokes' farmhouse In 19u7; that she stayed there on whole day and two nights and that he served to "Mr. Stokes and Mlrs IJMlan" aline luncheon and din ner on the day of her arrival. While she waa there aha seemed perfectly happy. -What did Miss Graham say to Mr. Btckes the day after her arrlvalT" "I heard her say. It you are going to town don't forget to bring the money. I also heard her aay when she left that she had had a delightful time." The case probably will be In the hands of the Jury by tomorrow night. The calling of Mrs. Stokea aa a wit ness for the state came as a surprise to the defense. She said she had mar ried Stokes last February, but had lived at Stokea hotel for four or Ave months previous to that time. The main feature of her testimony waa the contradiction of Miss Conrad's declara tion that the defendant had met Stokes at the Ansonla Hotel on the morning of Mm 2. .Mrs. Stokes said her hus band and herself wereaway that mora- in.
