The Family Physician’s Evidence Against the Prisoner Savagely Attacked on Cross Examination—The De- fense Suggested. Batavia, V. Y., July 8.—When court convened today for the trial of Howard Benham for the murder of his wife, Dr. Tozier immediately took the stand DOI’I' HAWK! A Disgusting Habit Altogether Too Familiar. How'to Stop it. It may be a habit. It may be catarrh. But catarrh is dangerous. The habit is disgusting. . . Catarrh causes headaches, in flamma- tion of the eyes, deafness and consump- tion. . The habit causes humiliation. Catarrh and habit should be cured. Mr. H. L. Woodworth,vof 1 Burbank street, South Norwalk, says: “I have been troubled with catarrh for some SHOT AN BSCAPBD CONVICT. Would Not Halt When Ordered by tho Guard—Locking For the Others. ' Lockport, N. Y., July 8.—Sheriff Ken-J ney and his deputies, assisted by the police, are still scouring the county in this vicinity, searching for six of the colored convicts who escaped. One of the convicts, Oscar Ohm, wads shot by Guard William Mount, and his wounds will prove fatal. Mount was with one Of the searching parties and saw two negroes north of the city. They refused to halt when commanded to do so, and Mount fired, hitting Ohm. The other man escaped. The break for liberty made by the negroes was as daring as it was suc- cessful. They were at work in a large quarry in the outskirts of the city, and when they had returned to their work from dinner and just as the handcuffs NH SUBSTITUTION the FRAUD oi’ the day.

Dr. Tozier said that he put the ring in his safe and kept it there until last I April, when he returned it to the jew- ' elers. ' Another Conversation. Dr. Tozier, after relating the story of the ring, was asked if he had not had another conversation with Benham. He said: “Yes, in reference to Mrs. Ben- ham’s appearance on the night of her death and about the condition of Mrs. Benham’s jaw the morning after she died. Benham, the sheriff and I were talking. I told the sheriff it did not seem possible Benham could have killed his wife because she seemed so fond of him. I told him,(the sheriff) how the night before she died she reached up and took hold of Benham’s hand as he stood at the head of her bed. The con- versation about the ring took place aft- erthat.” - “Anything more?" “Yes. Benham asked me if I had brought the stuff." “What did you say?" ‘ “I said, ‘No.’ ” . “Was the sheriff present at this time?" “No. He had stepped away and did not hear Benham ask me for the stuff or talk about the ring.” “Was there anything more?” "Yes. He said, ‘Bring me the stuff.’ ” “What did you say?" “I don’t remember." “Was there any further conversa- tion?” “Not that I remember." A Sensation In Court. A thunderbolt of surprise followed in the cross examination of the doctor. Attorney Scarlet, almost without warn- ing, put this question to the doctor: “Is it not true, sir, that on the morn- ing of Mrs. Benham’s death you came out of her room after looking at her dead face and cried out, ‘My God, is it possible that I have given her too much acetanilid ?’ ” . “No, that is not true!" shouted the witness. "Is it not true that when you called at the fail to see Benham the first time you offered to bring him poison to fin- ish the job with?” “No. That is a lie!" “Didn’t you say to him: ‘Howard, you are a big, strong fellow and dare do anything. Don't let this disgrace come upon your family?’ ” “No. That is a black lie!” “Don’t you know that Sheriff Heal heard you say that ?" . “He did not. He was not near us when we talked." During this dialogue the excitement in the courtroom was intense. Men and women rose to their feet, and the ju- rors leaned forward in their chairs with their mouths wide open. Dr. ToZier trembled violently. - Spaldlng’s Lawyer Sues Him. Chicago, July 8.—Attorney William S. Forest has begun suit against ex-’ Banker Charles W. Spalding for $3,000.
