Alter nately denouncing Clarence S. Darrow as a corrupter of men and lauding his brilliancy of mind. Assistant District Attorney W.

The denunciation ex tended to others connected with the defense of the Chicago lawyer, to Job Harrtman, who Ford maintained, was an accomplice In the alleged bribery of Jurors; to Lincoln Steffens. designated as a "Christian Aanarchlst." and to other defense witnesses of lesser Im portance. "Time after time. Ford assailed Dar row personally, either because of his philosophic teachings or his conduct of the McNamara defense. Dynamiting Laid to Darrow. The climax of the prosecutor's per sonal denunciation was reached In his charge that Darrow by Ms teachings was responsible for the blowing up of the Times' building and Its attendant fatalities. J. B. McNamara. he said, had been deluded by the doctrines ad vocated by Darrow. At another time the speaker referred to the defendant as "the brilliant gladiator of the courts." The theory of the defense that Franklin and John R. Harrington were actors In a "frame up" to ruin Dar row was ridiculed by the prosecutor. "If there was any "frame up" In this rase." he said, "it was between the District Attorney and Lockwood to trap Franklin, and they did It" SteffeBs la Draooawd. The prosecuting attorney asserted that the testimony of Lincoln Steffens as to the so-called "peace negotiations," was ridiculous and not to be believed. Steffens waa denounced aa "a man who believed a man should not be punished for mere murder he says the man should have gone free because It was a social crime." Ford closed with a plea for convic tion, telling the Jurors that It was the only verdict compatible with the evi dence in the case. He concluded at 4:30 o'clock, after talking for 4 1-2 hours. Court adjourned until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, when Attorney Horace H. Appel will make the opening argument for the defense.

SHE BEAR GETS BABY BACK Rescue Is Effected in Dead of Xlght While Most of Members of the Party Are Asleep Robert Taft Relieved of Embarrassment, GLACIER NATIONAL PARK. Mont., Aug. 12. (Special.) An old mother bruin stole into the Taft party's camp on the side of Red Eagle Mountain last night and thereby hangs a tale of how President Taft is to be spared the political embarrasment of having to receive a "Teddy" bear cub Into his household, when bis son, Robert, re turns from his outing in Glacier Na tional Park. The cub was presented to young Taft by Big Top', Blackfoot Indian chief. On the arrival of the Taft expedition on August 6 "Scotty" the guide, got a dog collar for the cub and the mascot was tied In camp as a pet. The young animal cried nearly all last night until rescued and adopted by the old she bear, which bravely descended the mountain side, gnawed the rope In two parts and defiantly marched back up the mountain growling its feelings at two of the guides who started to fol low the bold "cub napper." Robert Taft emerged from his tent and stood watching the retreating mother bear carrying the cub tightly clasped In her fore paws. It was a touching picture, in the light of the moon, streaming down over the peak S00O feet above. "Don't shoot," he shouted to the guide. "It must be her cub. besides there Isn't room for a 'Teddy' bear in the house now anyway. Let It go." So it went back to nature and the Taft boy regretfully bade good-bye to his last "Teddy" bear pet. The Taft party will remain In Glacier National Park three weeks.

Here a rail had been loosened, and as the locomotive left the track a volley of rifle shots was poured into the train with deadly effect. It was centered on the coach in which most of the soldiers were riding, but soon became general, the rebels apparently not caring whether they distinguished passengers from federal soldiers. Lieutenant Reyonaza's orders to re ply to the fire were carried out by the entrapped soldiers, notwithstanding the advantage which the hillsides gave the rebels. Pluckily every man of the guard fought until silenced. A few passengers, Beizing guns from the fal len soldiers, assisted in the defense, but the unequal battle only lasted a short time.

Acting upon information brought to them by the fugitive members of the train crew, authorities of Yuatepec no. titled those at Cuatla, who prepared to send a punitive expedition from there.
