Accused Widow Likely To Be Re called to Stand — Hearing Record Great Volume. A number of witnesses, Including doctor® and persons who will testify as to Mrs. May Belle Crawford’s con duct while she lived in Pittsburg, will be placed on the stand Thursday by Attorney James, representing the 48 heirs in the civil hearing in the light over Joshua B. Crawford’s estate. There is little likelihood of the case ending this week, as had been ex pected. There is a possibility of Mrs. Crawford being recalled to the stand. In her cross-examination the pros ecution gained practically nothing, while the widow’s dramatic denials branding the charges as “absotutelj untrue” apparently scored for hei She hcallenged Attorney James t< show anything which might he take! as an Indication that *he ever hac plotted to marry “Uncle Josh” Craw ford. One of the strongest points scored by Mrs. Crawford In her cross-exam ination was in • her statement that Mrs J. McDermott, one of the wit nesses who had furnished damaging evidence against her, had nevei known her, and in a test had re vealed the fact that she did not even know Mrs. Crawford when they met on the street. “I took her unawares while I was accompanied by another woman, and vn <* talked to her for several minutes without her recognizing me,” de clared Mrs. Crawford. “I never heard of Mrs. McDermott until after this case began, though at ilrst I had her confused with a Mrs. Beecher, who used to do some work for tne. 1 think the fact that she didn’t even know me when w« met on the street Is the best illustration of the fact that her testimony is a falsehood through out.” When the Court of Appeals receives the record of the hearing before Au ditor James D Anderson it will get one that will exceed in size that in the Leo M. Frank murder trial. So voluminous has the record become from th*' lengthy cross-examinations that Auditor Anderson has ruled that repetition must be eliminated in the future. The stenographers’ Dll' In the case has already run into several thousand dollars, and it Is conserva tively estimated that the litigation will cost the estate not less than $50,- 000. The same witnesses who have ap peared in the civil hearing will ap pear before the Grand Jury Friday. December 19, when Spec ial Solicitor John Y. Smith will take lip* the pros ecution of Mrs. Crawford on the crim inal charge In connection with her husband’s death. $25,000 in‘Bad’Debts Paid by Missourian ST. LOUIS. Dec. 11—Charles W.

The child was swinging on the wag on when he fell, the wheels passing over the body, breaking the back and neck. A lynching was narrowly averted, enraged citizens claiming that the negro knocked the boy off the wagon. Only some small children playing In the street saw the accident. Jones was arrested and lodged in jail by Sheriff Johnson pending the issuance of a warrant and to protect him from mob violence. worked his way up to a good position and for some years had been in receipt of a splendid salary. He had the confidence and respect of his employers. They de cided to take him into the firm on condition that he make an in vestment of $1,500.
