ECHO OF THAW TRIAL.
Similar Incident Occurs In Loving Trial
In Virginia.
HOUSTON, June 27The taking of
evidence In the case of former Judge
Ixtving charged with the murder of
Theodore Estes waa concluded this
afternoon. The. court, then adjourned
until tomorrow. Today Judge lkrks
dale denied the admissibility of evidence,
questioning the truth of the stdvy Eliza
beth Loving told her father and which
the defense claims is the cause of in
sanity, on the part, of the , Judge. This
is a serious blow',' to tbi prosecution,
which stated" yesterday that they would
introduce testimony, to show that the
tory told by the girl to her father that
she waa drugged . nnd assaulted by
Estes, was a fabrication. ' The defense
opposed the Introduction of this testi
mony on the grounds that the truth of
the story told to the father was Imma
terial, as Its truth or falsity had nothing
to do with the question of the effect it
there was none, a hot argument fol
lowed aifter .which Kruger picked up a
heavy file fnd struck Lipiiiski on the
head with it, inflicting a bad wound.
Lipinskl then rushed over to a bench and
feizing a 45-caliber revolver, shot Kru
ger, killing him instantly.
Lipinski came near being mixed up in
a shooting scrnpe in Portland over Miss
Wells when she was home on a visit
about two months ago, He followed
her from Seattle and when he saw her
joking with tlie grocer's boy in her
mother's' house, reached for his pistol

GIRL BURIED ALIVE
Five Year Old Child Smothered
to Death.
KILLED BY HER STEPFATHER
Unpleasant Gossip Regarding the Birth
of the Child Worried the Stepfather
and Caused Him to Take Rath Steps
and Murder Her.
WEST CHESTER, Pa., June 27.-Only
a lingering doubt and the desire of his
friends to believe his protestations of
innocence today prevented an attack
upon Irwin Lewis, of Landenberg, who
is under arrest charged with burying
alive bis five-year-old stepdaughter,
Mary Robbing Newlin, vhoe body was
taken from a rude grave yesterday in
the presence of Lewis himself and a
large crowd of men and women.
The discovery of the body nnd the
definite determination of the autopsy
that the little girl waa burled alive, her
death being caused by smothering, has
aroused the countryside to the greatest
excitement 7' .-' r i
v Mr. Lewis is in a critical conditiou
at the borne of a neighbor, and every
elTort is being made to keep the details
from her. The child's head was wrap'
ped in a rough burlap bag and a hemp
cord was (fastened about the neck. The
physicians say the string was not fast
ened tightly and that death could not
have resulted from that cause.
It la the belief of Prosecutor Ma'
Elree, of Chester county, that the bag
waa thrown over the child's head from
behind and she was thrown into the
grave and buried, being unable to cry
out. ' '
Lewis dug the grave several weeks
ago telling the farm hands be intended
to All it with refuse. The child disap
peared Sunday. No mention was made
of her absence until Monday. William
Skelly yesterday noticed the hole had
1 been filled. He got another farm hand
to help him, They had uncovered about
one foot of earth when they came upon
the patent leather belt of the child.
Immediately they threw back the earth
and informed the prosecutor.
The birth of Mary has long been a
cloud in Jhe Newlin family. Recently
it is snid much unpleasant gossip ha
been going about and it worried Lewis.

a race on the Thames River the
Yale crew this evening lowing on an
average of four strokes to the minute
less than the Harvard, held the big
Cambridge eight even until last the last
the half mile of the four-mile course.
Then the Blue let out speed and won
the magnificent contest by a scant boat
length. Never once in the whole four
niilea did the long graceful sheila cease
to lap each other. Thousands of per
sons crowded the observation trains and
every kind of floating craft and these
as well as the thousands who lined the
shore nent up cheer upon cheer to their
old rival as they witnessed one of the
grandest races in the history of boating.
Yale's time for the four miles waa 21
minutes 10 stconds; Harvard's time, 21
minute 13 seconds.
The race waa accompanied by one dis
agreeable incident. This was the arrest
of E. H. Harriman, the railroad magnate,
by Lieutenant Billard, President Roose

who was in charge of the revenue cut
ters had warned every boat owner not
to follow the race. Tba big varsity
struggle had scarcely been started, when
Harriman in a powerful motor boat
started to follow the race. Billard and
Chairman Schweppe, who were aboard
the regatta committee boat, the Arrow,
repeatedly warned Harriman to stop his
engines and get off the course, Hani'
man not only paid no attention to them
but took a position right alongside of
the referee's boat and held it. Off the
navy yard, Billard signalled for the
launch and tooted the revenue cutter
whistle and finally caused Harriman to
look around. , j .
"You are under arrest, sir," shouted
Billard. j
"You will give yourself up to this
man, who will take you aboard the
Gresham to await my orders."
Then it was discovered that the man
in the niotorboat was Harriman. !
Chairman Schweppe of the regatta
committee was very angry and he
shouted to Harriman in terms which the
latter could not mistake. The millionaire
levelled his forefinger at Schweppe and
yelled back?
"Young man, I will see you laterl

man saw no more of the race, but was
detained as any ordinary prisoner aboard

over when Lieutenant Billard went
aboard the Gretdiam and released him.

yard. The incident may cost Harriman
a fine of $500. This was the penalty im
