"Once," he said, "when Marian wrote she was sick and feared something was wrong, I sent her from Madison a bottle of molasses and. water." The courtroom crowd laughed at this. . ''Why?" his counsel asked. "Well." said Orpet, "she wanted medicine and I thought that would relieve her mental condition." Orpet said his meeting with Marian ' in Helms Woods in February, the day sn died, was under the same cir cumstances as his previous meetings with her that of friendship, he de clared.

"i didn't think it worth while to save them," he said. "Marian wrote me in October, say ing she was to become a mother. I arranged for an appointment with her and came down to Lake Forest on Oc tober 31 or November 1. I told her then there was no danger." Marian wrote him again, he said, re peating her fears.

POSSIBILITY OF WAR , WITHIN FEW HOURS IS WARNING TO SENATE I Reed of Missouri Makes Statement in Urging Haste in Aiding Militiamen. Washington, June 2. (U. P.) Possibility of "war within a few hours," was the warning given the senate by Reed of Missouri, today in urging all haste in aiding militiamen and their families. Reed made nlc solemn warning dur ing a bitter debate on the action of the measure in the house militia draft. which wnlllri tfrant niivmnt r,f ir.A month to families of militiamen. Hitchcock (Nebraska) seconded thtj fight by Reed on the clause substi tuted by tho committee exemptinj married men from service for th? house clause providing payment to de pendents of militiamen. Once during: an eloguent appeal by- Reed, Senator James, who was presiding, threatened to clear the galleries if there was any more applause. Hitchcock Loudly Applauded. "It is as much the duty of a mar ried man as others," said Hitchcock, "to serve his country. And it is the duty of the taxpayers the govern ment, to take care of his dependents. This is not generosLTy or charity. It is not merely for thegood of the men at the front. It isf for the good of all socially." Hitchcock was loudly applauded when he declared heatedly: "These men are the first to. serve, and yet the people and taxpayers, safe at home, hesitate to care for their families." He said to exempt all married men would demoralize our forces by elim inating trained men to be replaced protect the border. The duty Is on all. not merely the guardsmen. Merely be cause the guardsmen prepare them selves to fight, shall we pile all tha burdens of war on them? j "Many have torn the arms of wives and cnnaren from their necks to leave for the front, yet here we haggle, hag gle over their families.

Jun 26. (U. P.) In a lirm voice. Sir Roger Casement today pleaded not guilty tothe charge of high treason at the opening of his trial before Lord Chief Justice Reading and Associate Justices Avery and Harridge. A Jury was obtained from a special panel of ISO talesmen in less than one hour. Casement was scarcely the same man who appeared at the preliminary ar raignment in Bow Street police court. Then, his beard sadly needed trim ming, his hair was frowsy and he wore an ill fitting sack suit. When he was brought over this morning from Brix ton prison, to which he had been re moved from the Tower of London, he wore a carefully brushed morning coat and immaculate linen. His beard and hair were carefully trimmed. Prisoner Xiistens Calmly. The prisoner smiled and nodded to several acquaintances as he entered. He listened calmly while the clerk read the lengthy charge, reciting his activi. ties in connection with the Irish rebel lion and his attempts to Induce Irish prisoners in Germany to desert from the British army. He displayed keen interest in the preliminary proceed ings, watching his counsel, Michael Boyle of Philadelphia, closely. Daniel Bailey, an Irish soldier, ar raigned with Casement at the prelimi nary hearing, will be tried separately. It is believed he will receive lenient treatment because of the evideuco he furnished the crown. Attorney General Smith made an ex haustive opening, statement, reciting Casement's 18 yearg in the consular and other services, his thorough famil iarity with government method and consequently his great perspnx.l re sponsibilities. Casement listened, ap parently bored. He yawned several times while Smith was talking. Testimony Is Qlren. John Tilley, chief clerk at the for eign office, was the first witness. He identified a statement of air Roger's political record as taken from tne files of the foreign office. Private John Cronin of Cork, who was captured by the Germans and im prisoned at Limburg, testified about Sir Roger's efforts to -organize an Irish brigade among the Irish prison ers to be landed in Ireland to fight for Irish independence. On cross-examination. Solicitor Sulli van gave the first Inkling of what the defense may be. He attempted to draw the admission from Cronin that Case ment was enrolling a brigade to fight against the Ulster volunteers, landing in Ireland after the war. Cronin admitted (he did not hear Casement say specifically that tho lrisn brigade was to fight England. Corporul John Robinson and Private William Egan gave similar testimony.

The details are not made clear, but it is believed that Captain Morey and the trio of negro troopers were driven back into the Mexican desert where there was no water. The little band was on foot and the officer finally grew so weak from loss of blood that he could proceed no further and dropped. When he was revived, troopers were ordered to abandon him and save themselves, being held only long enough to get a written version of the encounter. - Unable to Locate Their Captain.
