Anpport From "France and Great " Britain Now Believed Too Late to Do Any Good. WASHINGTON. July 2. Without official information regarding the de cision of the allied powers to furnish military aid to Poland in her strug gle with the bolsheviki. government officials refrained today from formal expression of opinion, but unofficially professed to see it the new situation most of the elements of a Kuropean war on a broad scale. Army officers and officials of the etate department generally were frankly pessimistic as to the ability of France and ureal Britain to place armies in Poland in time to check the Russian advance before Warsaw falls and many were skeptical of the power of either France or Great Britain to drive their war-weary people Into the struggle without a serious unbalanc ing of domestic affairs.

Reports to the state department indicate increasing tenseness between the conservative and pro-radical groups in Germany, and it was generally believed that, unless the radical element gained the ascendancy, the chances of the United States becoming involved were slight, although a suggestion of American co-operation with France and Great Britain was regarded as probable.

Their optimism, however, was not shared by some of the experts who have been watching the operations of the two forces, but it was admitted hope of an adjustment yet remained In the suggestion of an armistice made to Poland by British govern ment officials.

Witness in Pettibone Murder Trial Relates Incident at Tea Party Where Husband Was Accused. RUTLAND, Vt.. July 22. (Special.) Kvldence to show that Mrs. Eva FctUboi'ie made a direct accusation in the presence of at least two per sons that her husband was attempt ing to poison her, was introduced today in Bennington county court at Manchester by the prosecution in the tase of Byron M. Pettibone of Ben nington, undertaker's assistant, aged 3b, who is facing a Jury under in dictment for murder in the first degree as the result of the death of hk wife last April. The star witness placed upon the stand by Attorney-General Archibald and his associates, was Mrs. Bessie Wright of Bennington, whose testi mony had to do with a tea party. Mrs. Wright stated that on the Sunday night previous to Efa Petti bone's death, she was at luncheon at the Pettibones' home. The hostess relused to partake oftea made by her husband, saying after sipping it that it tasted bitter and declaring to Pettibone, "You are trying to poison me." The counsel for defense in an hour's cross-examination was only able to shew that Mrs. Wright was unable to remember anything else that oc curred on the night of the party ex cept the tea episode. Mrs. Wright will be called to the stand again, bringing her diary. Eugene Rice, a boarder at Petti bone's, testified yesterday as to the cup of tea, but did not charge Mrs. Pettibone of directly accusing her husband of attempting to take her life. Dr. Bingham H. Stone, director of the Vermont state laboratory at Burlington, where a chemical analysis of Mrs. Pettibone's organs was made, told the jury that in his opinion death was caused by strychnine poisoning. He admitted that some of the symptoms of this were lacking, but said that embalming might de stroy them. His assistant. Dr. C. K. Whitney, will tell in detail of the analysis. The Jury, heard from the lips of Dr. Erwln Gardiner of Bennington, the Pettibone family physician, of the agony in which the wife of the accused murderer died 15 minutes after the doctor was called and found her In convulsions on the night of April 6. Although he gave strych nine poisoning as the cause of death, he said that he was not convinced of this until he learned the result of examination of the stomach contents. Pettibone continues to maintain his composure as the state builds up step by step the foundation for its claim that he deliberately poisoned his wrfe to get her out of the way because of his infatuation for Miss Helen L. Guillow, a nurse whom it is said . he frequently courted while riding on a hearse. RESUHREGT10H IS FAILURE HOLY ROLLER DOES NOT KEEP PROMISE TO WIFE.
