NEW YORK, Dec. 19—In sympathy
with better Liverpool cables, the cot-
ion market opened steady to-day, first
prices being 2 up to 1 point lower
than Thursday’s final. There was very
little snap to the market and trading
was very light. The local crowd seemed
inclined to sell There was considera
ble selling of January and March. All
in all, the majority of trad log was
swapping one position for another,
evening up over Saturday’s Census re
port.
After the call bearR seized the oppor
tunity to sell on the hard spots and
prices broke sharply, showing n net de
cline of 4 to 12 points from the open
ing within fifteen minutes after the
movement started.
General sentiment continues extreme
ly bearish, but the majority predict an
upturn before the ginning figures are
posted.

TOMS RIVER, N. J., Dec. 19.— 1 The
swiftness of “Jersey justice” is he- }
ing exemplified in the trial of Wil
liam Leehan, who is charged with
the murder of Mrs. Caroline Turner. |
wife of an employee of the estate of
George J. Gould, near Lakewood, three
years ago.
Among the first persons in the 1
courtroom to-day was Mrs. Jasper
Lynch, the rich society woman who
is aiding Leehan’s fight. Seated at i
the counsel table beside the three
lawyers her money had retained for j
Leehan, she smiled confidently at the j
prisoner and his wife.
“I believe Leehan is an innocent
man,” declared Mrs. L^nch. "The tes
timony brought out last night does
not affect my belief in the least.
“My interest in Leehan I consider
a public duty. I would have done the
same for any other man charged with
this crime. I know' his past; 1 know
he is a drunkard. But I don’t believe
this was a crime. 1 believe it was a
terrible tragedy.’*
The contention of the defense is
that Leehan is the victim of a con
spiracy and that Mrs. Turner was
killed by an automobile in which sev
eral wealthy men were riding.

CHICAGO. Dec. 19.—Wheat opened
steady with a fair volume of trade, but
there was little pressure on the market,
flue to the failure of Liverpool lo reflect
yesterday's decline here. Values rallied
after a small recession early.
Corn was sold by commission houses
early, but they turned to the buying side
later, advancing prices to above the
previous close. Prospects for colder and
i«ss favorable weather were the
strengthening influences
(tats held within a narrow range,
prices holding close to the previous
