Assaedatcd Pit • • Dispatch
Denver. Nov 26.—The secon-l
week of tin trial of Mr#. Gertrude
trillion Patterson, charged with the.
murder of her husband, will begin
tomorrow with the prosecution hav-
ing closed its direct examination and
the defense having placed Us most
materia! witness on the stand—Mrs.
Patterson. The defense expect# to
call witnesses to corroborate alleged
abuse by her husband. An alleged
eye-witness will he placed on the
aland by the defense who is expected
to corroborate ■ Mr#. Patterson'*
statement# as to how the shooting
was done. The defense will then
rest. In rebuttal, the state will place
Mrs. Mary K. Patterson, mother of
the dead man, on the stand, and It
is expected that she will testify as
to the physical soundness of her son
prior to the time he met Gertruda
Gibson. The prosecution will at
tempt to Introduce what purport# to
be the dead man's diary, written In
the form of dally notes or letter# to
his mother.
This diary, which was found
among the dead man's effects, has
been in the possession of Horace C
Benson, special prosecuting attorney
from the first, and he mode frequent
reference to It in his cross-examina-
tion of . Mrs. Patterson.
In writing to his mother July 21,
last, Patterson said:
"When you say in your letter: 'Oh
how I wish she would only act
squarely and leave you entirely and
not be a snake In the grass,' you said
a whole lot- If ever there was a
woman who was a demon on earth
in her home, and then makes out-
sider# believe she was terribly mal-
treated, it 1# her; tho lie* she, tells
and the purring way she can purr
and work on people'# feelings, sure
makes outsiders believe me a devil,
hut such is not the case."
After denying that he ever wanted
any of the money gi\ en her by a
Chicago millionaire, Patterson's diary
continue#:
"Oh. mother, I did not get T B.
(meaning tuberculosis) from inheri-
tance or bringing up. Ah, no, I was
tortured and worried to death aril
so help me, God. 1 have Hei n aa true
In thought, word and deed to that
woman I adored and loved, a# It was
possible for God to make a man be,
but from the day l »a» married un-
til the day X took down sick my
every move was watched. 1 was
threatened and attacked by hired
slugger* under the elevated, on-
night near home, and only my fie-•-
ness of foot saved my life. J would
have been slugged to death and tho
verdict would have been ‘hold up.’
Oh, yes, a hold up. I kept all things
silent because to mention them
would lay my wife's good name open
to question."
Referring to the time when he had
coma to Colorado for his health, the
diary says:
"Weil, It seems that Just about that
time she was seeking a divorce, and
God knows she made It a living hejl
for me at that time, me a sick man,
and barely able in walk. .She Jab-
bed me with a long pin one day,
J forcing me to wince with pain, be-
1 cause 1 had discovered hid away In
| her stocking a large ruby ring. She
had many things such as an Indian
j relic from India, and when l dis-
covered it In her purse and threa'-
enrj to throw It away, she threat-
I ellf-l! to throttle me.”

Home, Nov. 26—Tl)e Most Rev. Wll-

i helved by Pope Plus today. The
’ weather was glorious and Archbishop
; 'i’Conneir# reception at the Vatican

j Mgr. Blsintl, the master of common-
I ies, and the private Chamberlains
greeted him In the name of the pope
and escorted him to the door of the
library where Pope Plus met him
with open arms.
His Holiness prevented the arch-
bishop from kneeling, and addressed
him as "m.v dear brother.” They then
retired to the library where they en-'
gaged in conversation for nearly an
hour. The pontiff was extremely
warm in his greetings and would
hardly allow Archbishop O’Connell to
thank him as he wished, saying that
Americans' enthusiastic response to
the recognition which he had been
pleased to bestow’* and fervor of Cath-
olicism in that country were the man-
ifest signs that gave the greatest sat-
isfaction.
At the conclusion of the private au-
dience, the pope appeared at the door
of the library with the archbishop at
his left, holding the pope’s arm. They
proceeded to the small throne room,
which was the chamber In which
Pope Leo died, where the members
of the pilgrimage from Boston were
gathered, all kneeling.
The pontiff, with a benevolent and
paternal smile, passed around the
room, tho archbishop introducing

l,o# Angeles, Nov. 26.—With eight
Jurors Kworn and the Jur.v-getting
process somewhat simplified, inquiry
a# to what will be heard when evi-
I deuce Is Introduced in the McNamara
J case brought forth today from Dis-
j trict Attorney John IX Fredericks an
j outline of how the state will present
! its side of the controversy over the
: destruction of the Los Angeles Times
building in October, 1910.
After the opening statement by the
district attorney when the jury ts
completed, maps and diagram* will
he shown of the building. A numb-
er of eye-witnesses will be summon-
ed to describe what they saw. These
will include not only employes who
were In the building at the time of
the disaster, but those who saw the
explosion and fire from the out-
side.
Then will come, according to the
district attorney, proof of the death
of Charles J. Haggerty, a machinist,
for whose murder James B. Mc-
Namara is now on trial. Haggertv’s
body was found in the basement near
, « place in. “ink Alley," where It is
1 claimed an explosive was feloniously
j placed. Testimony to show that
j Haggerty's proximity to the alleged
I origin of the explosion that induced
j the state to choose for trial from 19
indictments tho one for the murder
o' Haggerty.
The testimony of experts on ex-
plosives will be produced thereupon
to indicate that dynamite wrecked
the building. Though the state ha#
several hundred witnesses, many of
them will be disposed of In a few
minutes.
The defense thus far has not Indi-
cated what its manner of refutation
will be. The atorney# claim to have
several method# at their disposal and
though they will Indulge In exhaus-
tive cross-examination, the main line
of defense will not become visible
until after the state has rested Us
case. Combating of the dynamite
theory by expert testimony a# well
a* by witnesses who will allege that
they smelled gas in the vicinity of
the building, already hag been admit-
ted by the defense as a central fea-
ture in it# future argument.
Examination of talesmen thus far
likewise has revealed that the de-
f -nse will Insist upon the theary that
the Times was destroyed by accident
and that no felony, therefore, was
committed.
Calculations from the present pro-
gress of the trial place the time for
the taking of evidence at the middle
of December.
Though only four more jurors are
needed to fill the box. the Ume for
taking evidence may be postponed
somewhat by the choosing of one or
two alternate Jurors, to replace any
who may iiecome physically unable
to serve during the course of the
trial. While the state has definitely
anounced it* Intention of asking for
more Jurors, the action of the court
In granting or denying the request
cannot be forecasted, as it Is known
that Judge Walter Bordwell will wait
until the Jury Is completed before
deciding and If a physician pronounc-
es all the Jurymen in good health,
the request probably wUI be grant-
ed. tTnleas Juror J. H. Coke ta ex-
cused before long. It is said, an al-
ternate will l>e necessary for him. as
his physician Is reported to have said
he could not stand confinement.
Tomorrow the examination of
Talesman Calvin ColUnt will be eon-
tl- ued. Besides, the eight sworn
Jurors, one talesman tuus been pasa-
ed for cause and with seven peremp-
tory now available to the defense,
and five remaining to the stale, it is
believed the completion of the panel
ia not far off.
JOHN IMS HAwMOnT TALKS
Of Interesting Brunts Connected With
/ South Africa.
Associated Press Dispatch
Boston. Nov. 2*—Released by time
from an oath not to talk on South
African affairs or reveal any of the
"inside'' of events leading up to the
Boer war for a period of years,
John Hays Hammond, who was con-
spicuous in that war, broke his sil-
ence f<h the first, time last night at
a dinner of the Clover club.
Mr. Hamond said the Jameson
raid was the result of the activities
of a reform association formed at
Johannesburg and consisting largely
of Americans.
■T want especially,” Bald Mr. Ham-
mond, "to correct a misunderstand-
ing. It has been said we were act-
ing under the British flag. That la
false. (
"Much sympathy has been wasted
on ''Dora Paul’ Kruger. He was op-
posed to progress, believed the
world was flat and that the Devil
had >a tall. His impositions were
such as no man of the Anglo-Saxon
race would have tolerated.
' The reform movement against
Kiuger was not an English move-
ment. Jameson came Into the fight
against our wishes and against the
wishes of the British high commis-
sioner. X sent word to him to go
back and when he persisted, the on-
ly thing to do was to bluff Kruger
Into bellcvelng that we had more
arms than we really had. We did
so, and Kruger sent over an olive
branch to . Johnannesburg. They
agreed to all but two things and that
was that no contract should bo ac-
cepted with a Catholic or a Jew.
This we flatly refused.
"Kruger played false with the re-
form committee after the Jameson
raid, broke all his promises and after
he had secured the arms In Johan-
nesburg through Blr Hercules Robin-
son, he arrested the entire commit-
tee. He gave the men to understand
that If they pleaded guilty, they
would he let off with a fine. In-
stead they were sentenced to be
hanged within 24 hours.
"An emphatic dispatch from Sec-
retary Olney caused Kruger and the
Boer council to hesitate and after an
all-night session, the council voted to
commute the sentences to life im-
prisonment.”

COLONEL ROOSEVELT
WILL NOT BE CANDIDATE
Philadelphia, Nov. 26—The North
American today publishes what it
calls an "authoritative statement” of
Colonel Roosevelt's position with re-
ference to the Republican national
campaign for the presidency in 1112.
The statement reiterates Mr.
Roosevelt’s declarations that he will
not be a candidate In 1912; neither
would he lend his aid to any pros-
pective candidate. The North Ameri-
can says the statement was made no
more than three days ago by Colonel
Roosevelt. II M.ys:
"Colonel Roosevelt will not support
any man for the nomination in 1912,
neither Mr. Taft nor any one else.
He never gave Mr. Taft any pledge
or offer of support, nor did Mr. Tart
ever have such an Impreaaton.
"Aa to himself, Colonel Roosevelt
Is not a candidate nor has he been at
any time. He has repeatedly dis-
couraged suggestions of this charact-
er. not only from sincere friends tut
from political leader* who for one
reason or another desire to uaj nt*
name, and h« was emphatically re-
fused pledges ot active support, even
delivery of delegatee."

losses. The Tiger Hill batteries,
meanwhile, were pounding shells into
Lion hill. They silenced the Man-
chu’s batteries there, which were of
little value.
The object of the first seizure of
the Tiger hill was shown by the
early appearance of four rebel cruis-
ers, and later in the day of other
warships. In the evening, a dozen
torpedo boats and destroyers and
cruisers were lying menacingly near
the city.
Doubtless they will quickly reduce
the lower sections and drive the de-
fenders to the south.
The viceroy of Nanking and Tar-
tar general, In fear of General Chang
the Imperialist commander, have
taken refuge In the Japanese con-
sulate, In which only the consul re-
mains. He Is the sole official repre-
sentative of foreign Interests now in
Nanking. The consulate is well-
guarded by marines.
Sunday’s attack can only be con-
sidered a slight foretaste of the big-
main body of the revolutionists is
steadily investing every side and
bringing the big guns into play. The
plans of the attacking forces Is not
revealea. The Insurgents may not
attempt to rush the city,but may pre-
fer to bombard steadily and await Its
surrender. But if breaches are made
In the walls of the city and the reb-
els enter, It is believed that General
Chang and the loyal troops will
make a desperate stand.
Lion hill’s reply to the bombard-
ment was at first sharp but later It
became feeble.
A number of rebel shells fell In the
settlement near the rl\;er, but did lit-
tle damage. During the evening
there was some sharp fighting at the
western and southern gates, the out-
posts of the revolutionists endeavor-
ing to approach.
The revolutionists advanced in
three columns, oiTe along the railway,
a second behind Purple Hill and a
third along the river. The Imperial-
ists fired upon a Red Cross train
coming In on the railway. About
four thousand of General Chang’s
rawest recruits are now outside the
city with machine guns, but a numb-
er have surrendered.
It Is expected the telegraph ser-
vice will be re-established Monday.
REPORTS OF MURDERS
OF FOREIGNERS RECEIVED
Associated Press Dispatch
Shanghai. Nov. 26.—Reports of
murders of foreigners in the prov-
inces of Shen-Sl, and Shan-Sl have
been received here with the gravest
apprehension. It is quite evident
that a strong element of Boxerism
remains within the sphere of Peking,
where the government might be ex-
pected to be In control. Through-
out the south, which Is held by the
revolutionaries, not a single ease,
even of Injury to foreign Interests,
except what may be attributed to
accident, has occurred.
Trade has been prostrated and
there Is a growing feeling among
the merchants that some definite ac-
tion should be taken to prevent fur-
ther outrages- The throne seems
helpless to prevent murders by the
boxers, who are in no way connected
with the revolutionists, while on the
other hand, the insurgents are de-
fending the missionaries and punish-
ing offenders with death, throughout
the vast trading districts in south and
central China. The commercial
houses of all nationalities are losing
heavily. (
PREMIER YUAN ORDERED
HOSTILITIES RESUMED
Associated Press Dispatch
Paris, Nov. 26.—The Peking cor-
pondent of the Temps says that
Yuan Shi Kai has again changed
his attitude and has ordered a re-
sumption of hostilities at Nanking,
whither reinforcements have been
sent.
It is understood that he Is again
strongly supporting the dynasty, im-
posing certain conditions. The change
Is attributed to the rally In Shan-
Tung, and It is also probable, says the
correspondent, that Yuan can more
easily obtain the financial support
ho wants by breaking with the rebels-

ROBBERS WERE KILLED

bers were killed.
THE WEST RIVER
SWARMING WITH PIRATES
Associated Press Dispatch
Hong Kong, Nov• 26.—The West
river Is swarming with pirates, and
traffic to Wu-Chow in Kwang-SI
province, is seriously imperiled. Tho
steamship companies are greatly
alarmed and are considering the sus-
pension of their services, but are
continuing for the present with arm-
ed crews.
Great indignation has been aroused
by the attack by pirates on the Brit-
ish steamship Shluon, a few days
ago, when Chief Officer Nicholson
was murdered, and tho people aro
becoming clamorous for Intervention
of some kind to put down the law-
lessness.
In 1906, owing to piratical out-
rages, guards were placed on all the
steamers and other precautions were
taken, but latterly because of over-
confidence that the British flag was
immune from attack, these precau-
tions were relaxed. Tho rifles have
become rusty and their guards are
without ammunition. One steamer
carries a cannon, but no shells.
Canton Is said to be practically in
the hands of brigands. Grave trou-
bles are feared. General Lung Is
almost powerless to maintain order
and contemplates flight. Borne anx-
iety is felt by the foreignera

Lost Their Lives Scrapping Over Box
Containing Explosives.
Associated Press Dispatch
Cleveland, Nov. 26.—Six Florida
wreckers were blown up today while
attempting to secure a floating box
of explosive, part of the cargo of the
steamer Prlnz Joachim which went
ashore Nov. 22 on the rocks off At-
wood Cay.
This information was conveyed in
a message from the Prlnz Joachim
which was picked up by one of the
wireless stations here tonight.
While the cargo of the Prlnz Joa-
chim was being Jettisoned, a swarm
of wreckers lay about, watching an
opportunity to salvage any part of
the cargo. A chance came when three
boats almost simultaneously spied a
floating box. They made for it wit
all haste.
When the three boats, each con
taining two men, reaching the bn>
there was a sharp struggle to so
which should get it aboard. Watch
ers aboard the Prlnz Joachim the
saw the water thrown high in th
air by an explosion. Thereafter noth
Ing of the boats save spltntere
wreckage was to be seen, nor \va
there any trace of the men.
For a time other wreckers an?
those aboard the steamer did no
guess what had happened. Their sur
mlee was that a revenue cutter ha
thrown a shell at the wreckers.
