SCOTCH IDEA OF AMERICA Solicitor-General, for Defense, Tells Court How Women Act In the United States and Says Client Is Blameless. EDINBURGH, Feb. 13. At the continu ation of the hearing today of the Stirling cross-suits for divorce, counsel for Mr. Stirling addressed the court on the hus band's suit, charging that his wife had misconducted herself with Lord North land. The lawyer laid great stress on the intimate- acquaintance between Lord Northland and Mrs. Stirling before her marriage, when she was Elizabeth Taylor. He said Mrs. Stirling's letters to Lord Northland, after her husband's dis coveries, clearly involved the admission of improper relations and that she re turned from America, not because she suspected any wrongdoing between her husband and Mrs. Atherton, but because she could not live without Lord North land. Replying on behalf of Mrs. Stirling, Solicitor-General Ure pleaded that his client had been a member of the thea trical profession, whose standards of con duct differed from those of conventional society. She was also an American, he continued, where the customs were not the same as In Scotland; and where wo men of the country went about with men without chaperones, without even the suggestion of anything verging on impropriety. Mr. Stirling, the solicitor-general said, had undoubtedly encouraged Lord North land's attentions' and had made no at tempt to protect his wife's honor, with the object of securing a divorce in order that he might marry Mrs. Atherton, who on her part had done all she could to separate the Stirlings. The solicitor-general admitted that Mrs. Stirling had been injudicious, but he de nied that she had been guilty of miscon duct. Counsel Tor Lord Northland then made an address, after which court adjourned. COOPER JURY SWORN IN Taking of Testimony In Murder Trial Will Begin Tuesday. NASHVILLE, Feb. IS.

' Violent Attack by Editor of Free thinker Paper Printed on Day Preceding Awful Disaster. NEW YORK, Feb. 13. (Special.) The correspondent of the Times at Messina writes: Today the most extraordinary coincidence I ever heard of came to my certain. knowledge, for the tale is so wild I would not write it if I had "nfot the proofs. It is one of the stories one some times hears from ignorant and supersti tious persons, and is treated as unworthy of serious attention. My informant was an old friend among the Italian officials, but even his word didn't carry convic tion at first. In a former letter I spoke of a paper published for the first time the day be fore the destruction of the city and called The Future. This coincidence struck me as sufficiently dramatic and pathetic, without further details, but the rest of the story is far more remarkable. It seems that there were many free thinkers of the Latin type, not merely doubting or unbelieving, but opposed to anything that savored of religious belief This new paper belonged to them, and the first number was filled with attacks not only on the church.' but on all re- lSX hTseTr"AeVeCTsteno OrT voted s. violent 'editorial to the subject, and used these words Vu'arf nVt an impotent tool, send us an earthquake to prove you exist.

ENGINE CREW SURPRISED Within Eight Miles of Colorado Cap ital and Two Miles of Army Post Train Stopped and Mallear Is Robbed. DENVER, Feb. 13. That the hold-up of the west-bound Denver & Rio Grande passenger train, near Denver, at 3:15 this morning, was the work of three in-, stead of two robbers and that the rob bery of the mallear gave them a loot of possibly 135,000, are indicated by the investigation of the railroad and police officials today. So far no tangible clew to the identity or whereabouts of the robbers has been found, but it seems probable that the men came to Denver and are now hiding in this city. The exact amount secured by the rob bers cannot be ascertained. .It is known, however, that the registered mailsack from Colorado Springs to Denver was empty and that little of value was in .the Pueblo-Denver sack. The sack from Portland, Colo., to Denver, however, con tained $400 of money order funds con signed to the Denver postofflce. Eighteen packages of registered mail were secured. These include five from Salt Lake, addressed to Greeley, Colo.; Georgetown, Colo.; Waco, Tex.; Whlte wright, Tex., and Denver; , one from Pueblo to Denver; one from Colorado Springs to Denver; one from Taylor, Wash., to Steamboat Springs. Colo.; one from Winfleld, Wash., to Sterling, Colo.; one from Leadvllle to Denver and others from Glenwood Springs and other Colo rado towns. Ono of these packages is said to have contained a large sum of money, but until a thorough checking up of the missing packages is possible the exact amount secured by the fobbers cannot be ascertained. Robbers Show Originality. The robbery was remarkable for Its originality and daring. It took place within eight miles of Denver, within less than two miles of Fort Logan, the United States military reservation, and at a spot where habitations are plentiful. Yet so thorough was the work of the robbers and so well were their plans laid that they had fully an hour and a half start of the officers. Search of the vicinity of the hold-up Indicates that a third man and possibly a. fourth were engaged in the robbery; that a rubber-tired buggy was In wait ing for the actual holdups and that tor pedoes and red signal fires were used un successfully in an attempt to stop the train before the automatic revolvers of the two men on the train were used in doing this. , From the manner in which the hold-up was accomplished It is thought to be possible that the robbers are the ones responsible for the hold-up of the Den ver & Rio Grande train lr.st May, when Express Messenger Wright was killed. That the robbers were thoroughly fa miliar with the railway postal business seemed evident, as the men in the mail car threw aside package after package after examining them carefully. A care ful search for the bandits is being made In Denver, as the robbery took place only sight miles distant from the heart of the city. Gun Against Engineer's Cheek. The train, which was several hours be hind time, was running at a speed of nearly 40 miles an hour, when suddenly Engineer Gunn heard a voice behind him. Looking around him, he found the muz zle of an automatic pistol poked into his face. Fireman Lessig also found one within two Inches of his cheek. "Slam on the air and stop this train," came the order. "Be quick about it or we'll blow out your brains." This came from the robber attending the engineer. He was a heavy-set man with red hair and wearing a red sweater the collar of which was pulled up over ihe lower part of his face, and his pistol was Jammed against Engineer Gunn's face as the latter hesitated a moment. The train was brought to a sudden stop with in a short distance of the little station, which was closed for the night. "Now. you fellows get off this engine as quick as you can.'' commanded the red-haired robber. "Don't run or make trouble. If you do, this automatic will do business." Gunn and Lessig obeyed with alacrity. Covered by the hold-ups, they were marched to the mallear, next to the en glne. Forced to Open Mallear. "Call to the fellows in the mallear and tell them to open the door and you tell them not -to shoot, too," again command ed the red-haired man. Engineer Gunn did so. The mallear door was opened; an instant later the stillness of the night was broken by a fusillade of shots, tired by the holdups in all directions.
