' Bridge-port -o:nt at when ta tui Defendant Tells Story of Kill- ing In Straightforward Manner The defense in the case of Clarence O. Bursell, who is on trial charged with the killing of Charles C. Zimmerman, finished the taking of testimony at little after 3 o'clock this afternoon. After the testimony of the defendant himself and of l'eter C, Cox, the wit nesses for the defense touched upon minor points of the relations of the two men and their long standing trou ble which culminated in the killing of Zimmerman. This morning Mr. Cox testified as to the visit of Bursell to his place on the morning before the shooting and his arrival at the scene of the shooting im mediately nfter it had taken place. He said that it was a common custom in that neighborhood to carry .-2 rifles to kill squirrels and gophers and th nothing was thought of it. He said several of his neighbors carried small ritles to and from their work and that nearlv all of the bovs in the neighbor hood had ... rifles. Mr. Cox said he had been asked by Bursell to go down to the Zimmerman house and to observe the wagon tracks iu front of the house and see if they were close to the fence. Bursell testified that Zimmerman ac cused him el driving so elise to the wire fence that the whiffletrees injur ed the wire fence. Donald Bowen anil V.'ava iioweu, his sister, testified tiiat Zimmerman told them last December that he took his rifle and lav iu wait behind his bam for Bursell ami that If Bursell hail left his house would have shot and hilled him. Almost ull of the testimony of the defense wns along the lines of the old quarrel between the two men and indicated that Zimmerman ' was of a noisy ami quarrelsome disposition and wns not on speaking terms witli a limn ber of his neighbors. After the defense completed its testi mony this nftemoon District Attorney Kiugo called Mrs. Zimmerman, Mable Zimmerman, Sheriff F.ach and Frank llowen in rebuttal. The defendant, Clarence O.

GERMANS 111 RUSSIANS READY TO BURN WARSAW Berlin Advices Are To Effect Public 'Buffings Will Be Razed ALL CROPS AND VILLAGES ARE BURNED BY ARMY Furks Officially Deny That They Are Negotiating For Separate Peace Terms Berlin, via Amsterdam, July 22. -. Grand Duke Nicholas has determined that Warsaw shall not fall into the hands of the Germans with its govern ment buildings and beautiful churches unscathed according to information reaching here today. While the Slavs are engaged iu great battles to the north and south of the city on which its fate hinges, the Hub sum commander is reported to have as signed men to apply the torch every where iu ease the Slavs are thrown back and Wnrsuy is evacuated. The Rus sians have made up their minds, a dis patch here declares, that if Warsaw is yielded to the (iermans the victorious nrmy will be able to take possession only of ruined hulls of the costly build ings of the government and church. Already the turrit or, v to the north and west of Wnrsnw is being laid waste as the Russians retreat. Bridges lire being Idonn up, houses are being destroyed and the country de vastated by the retreating forces. ' The same is true in tV Baltic provinces where the Kussians are retiiing before the sweep of (lencral Von Billow's cav alry. In the Higa region bridges are be ing blown up nnd all crop! are being confiscated or destroyed. All cattle und livestock is being dnven to the rear of the Russian nrmy, CoienliHgen dispatches today declared that flames from the Klga region have lighted up the sky for several night past. It is assumed that the fires are from the crops, farms and villages being destroyed by the Russians ia their re treat. By crossing the I'trata east of Bloiiie, the (ierntans south or Warsaw are now within thirteen miles of. the city. To the north it is admitted that stubborn resistance is being met along the Narew river. The Russiitn defensive positions in that region are extremely strong. While these trenches ure being torn up by artillery and stormed by infantry the general advance may be held up for several days. Southwest of l.ublin a great battle is in progress along the Wiejir river. The conflict in thin region is one of the most desperate on the entire front.

I Another incident in which a merchant u. an Is torpedoed causing the loss of American life will be regarded as an unfriendly act, possibly precipitating a breach in di.ninntic relat ions. There have been eoiif li. tiug reports' as to Ihe use of the words "unfriendly1 act" in the nolo. The view which this j goMTiiitic nt will take ia case Americans art. again Jeopardized by a submarine 'iilla. k was thus set forth in Ihe orig iii.nl draft of the note.

President Wilson has made it clear that he will insist upon the rights of Americana guaranteed under tatcrnntionnl law. No threat is made as to the action that will be taken iu case another merchant man with Americans aboard Is tor pedoed without warning but the declar ation that such an Incident will lie re garded as an "unfriendly act" carrle with it Ihe suggestion that a break in diplomatic rclationi might follow. It is understood that the I'nitci!
