CALLED BY STATE
Attempt Made to, Break D,own
Mrs. Beach's Story thai
Unidentified Negro

l!y Associated Press.
Alkcn, S. C, 'eb. 4. Mr, and Sirs.
Frederick O. Beach sat together to
day In tli Aiken county court house
ii ml heard the prosecuting attorney
attempt to prove to a jury or conn
trymcn that the New York society
man had made 'a murderous attack
upon his wife with a penknife in
Aikm last winter.
Flcven witnesses were called by the
state and a slow start was made in
their examination. . Prosecutor Gunter
directed his efforts to breaking down
tlie story told by Beach and substan
tiated by his wife to the effect that
Mrs. Beach had been attacked by
negro when she left tiie house to give
her dogs an airing,
Dr. Hastings Wyman and his son,
E,r.. Marlon Wyman, who examined
Mrs. Beach's wound Boon after she
wns cut, expressed-the opinion that
the stab was Inflicted from, behind.
The theory of the prosecution is that
Beach attacked his wife while she
was running away from him.
When court reconvened at 1:35
o'clock the two physicians were the
only witnesses who had been examin
ed. Colonel Henderson indicated that
he would ask later to have the Jury
Inspect the premises of the Beach
home. .,
Mrs. Beach- took a keen interest In
the examination of the witnesses and
frequently jotted down notes with a
Kold pencil. Once she joined heartily
in the , laughter that followed a-- sub
tle compliment .offered her by 'the
cider Dr. Wyman. Colonel Hender
son had asked him how Mrs. Beach
looked when he saw her just after she
had been attacked. ' ;
"Not ns well as she is looking this
morning," replied Dr. Wyman, bowing
gallantly to Mrs. Beach. .
Mrs. Beach Was the victim of a
mysterious attack on the night of
February 2d last She was assaulted
while on the lawn of the Beach win
ter home here and sustained a serious
: cut on the throad Immediately af
ter the attack Mr. Beach asserted
that her assailant- was an unknown
negro After an investigation by city
authorities and detectives, a warrant
was Issued for the arrest of Mr.
Beach. He repeatedly has denied -the
charge.
Mr. Beach Is represented by an ar
ray of legal talent composed of both
locul an J New York lawyers. The
prosecution Is being conducted bj
Solicitor It. I Gunter. '
Thirty-six men, mostly farmers
compose the venire from which the
Jury is now being selected. Bocause
of the prominence of the defendant
and the mystery surrounding the at
tuck. Introduction of testimony is be
ing awaited with eagerness.
Eight witnesses have been sub
poenaed by the prosecution, while so
far Is known only throe will be in
troduced by the defense. It Is un
derstood that Mrs. Beach will reiterate
the story of the attack, Implicating
the unknown negro and exonerating
her husband. ,
Defendant In Court,
Mr. Bench appeared In the court
room fully an hour before the case
was called. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Beach, her sister, Mrs. James B.
Taylor, and Miss Marlon Holllngs.
Mrs. Beach was becomingly attired in
a brown suit and brown toque and
, was veiled. .
Beach and his wlfo sat at their
lawyer's table behind a bulwark of
lawbooks, chatting gaily while the
prosecution was calling the witnesses
in another case.
Soon after their arrival, Mrs. Colvln
Iselln came In with Mr. and Mrs.
Henry B. Holllngs and took seats Just
behind the Beacha. Back of the rail
a score or more' of women, only a few
of whom were members of the winter
colony, had pre-empted the best seats
and strained eagerly for a glimpse ol
I'ench' and his wife.
The rase whs called at 'M:20

By Associated Press.
London, Feb. 4. A terrific bom
bardment of the forts around Adrian-
ople was begun last evening by the
100,000 Bulgarians and Servians sur
rounding the city. Almost at the mo
ment of the ending of the armistice
at 7 o'clock, siege guns and field guns
from various points commanding the
forts opened fire. Not even the resi
dential portion of the city was spared.
There is considerable difference of
opinion as to how long the fortress will
be able to hold out'. One dispatch
from Mustapha- Pasha today, which
reported that the "heavy cannonade
continued through the night conclud
ed with the prophecy made' by the
Bulgarians that two weeks would suf
fice, for the besiegers to force the
Turks to. capitulate.
Military men who know something
about the several lines of forts which
form the defenses of Adrlanople for
the outer ring which the besiegers
have been facing since the war be
gan, is connected with and supported
by other circles of defense jusi as
strong look for a prolonged defense
bv the besieged garrison.
m decision, apparently prevails
within Adrlanople Itself. Otherwise
the foreiitn consuls there would have
considered it necessary to ask . their
ambassadors to secure an escort for
the foreign residents of the city who
desire to pass through the lines, or
protection for those who remain wltn.
In the gates.
Fortress Ably commanded.
Shukri Pasha, the Turkish com
mander who is defending Adrlanople,
is one of the most determined officers
or the Ottoman army. He has de
clared that he will not surrender the
fortress until the last of his soldiers
was killed. There have been some de
sertions from the garrison, these hav.
In been chiefly Christian soldiers
serving- with Turkfch regiment.
Shukri Pasha still has some 40,000
men, a number which is considered
aulte sufficient to man the forts and
hold at bay the much greater besieg
ing force.
The Bulgarians are said to nave
SSO 000 men In the province or
Thrace with 45 Servians and a few
divisions of Greeks assisting them,
The greater part of this force is com-
Delled to remain in front of Tchatalja
and at Oalllpoli In order to hold the
Turkish armies concentrated at those
places. It is. possible the allies may
attack both these positions.
The winter season is so unfavorable
for offensive operations that all ef
forts will be made to have the Turks
make the first advance from Tcha
talja, m1M
Warships to Constantinople.
The Turkish army at Tchatalja has
greatly Improved during the armistice
The soldiers are better armed than
they were, sickness among them has
diminished; supplies have been brought
up In great quantities and fresh troops
now man the string of powerful forts.
All was quiet along the Tchatalja
lines up to a late hour this morning.
The great drawbacks to the success
of the Turks are the political quarrels
among the Ottoman officers, which
must tend to undermine the efficiency
of the army. On the other side of the
Balkan peninsula, Scutadi, where the
Montenegrins are besieging the
fortress, Is reported through the cor
respondent of a Dutch newspaper to
have fallen. There Is no confirmation
of this report from other sources.
British and German warships passed
through the Dardanelles yesterday for
the protection of the residents) of Con
stantinople and a fleet of warships of
other powers is anchored In Beslka
bay ready for any emergency.

Washington. Fed. 4. "What is

Janitor Admits Making Infer

ed Mrs. Taylor and
Mrs. Herrera. .
KNEW OF ATTEMPT
ON JUDGE EOSALSKY
Mystery of Death of "Kid"
Walker in 1887 Also
Bared by John Paul
Farrell.
By Associated Press.
New York, Feb. 4. John Paul
Farrell, - a Janitor, confessed toduy
that he sent to Bernard Herrera last
Sunday the bomb which resulted In
the death of Mrs. Horrera and seri
ous Injury to Herrera and : Miss
Fughlman, a boarder.
Then Farrell astoitished the poHco
by calmly reciting that lie sent the ,
bomb which killed Mrs. Helen Tay
lor, a year ago,' adding that Mrs. Tay
lor was his daughter. Next Farrell
solved the mystery of tho sending of
a bomb last year to Judge Otto Rosa
Lsky. Finally lie explained the death
of "Kid" Walker, sluln in 1887.
He slew Mrs. Taylor he said be- .
cause she was his daughter and had
"gone wrong." "tad", Walker was
killed, he declared, by a man named
Lestrange, because Walker had caus- '-
ed Mrs. Taylor's downfall. The at-. 1 ,
tempt on Judge Rosalsky's life, he de
clared, was made because the Judge
had sentenced a criminal, unnamed, to
20 years imprisonment . The bomb
was sent to the Judge by a man known
to Farrell only as "Tony."
Herrera's life was sought, Farrell
said, because Herrera had said he '
would - discharge him from . his Job
as Janitor.. Farrell was employed at
the apartment hojise -where 1 Herrera
is superintendent.
Before the astonished , detectives.
the maker of deadly bombs construct
ed an Infernal machine, explained
how It was made, what he put into it.
how it operated tind what the dam
age would be to the person who
should open it. . The Taylor and
Rosalsky bombs he said, were entrust
ed to the malls. - -
In the case of Herrera, Farrell said
he had crept up stairs when Herre
ra was away and placed the bomb,
wrapped in a pasteboard box on the
landing outside his door.
Unmoved by the knowledge thut
his recital might send him to the
electric chair, the bomb maker placid
ly took pencil and paper and drew
numerous diagrams, explaining how
he had planned the" mechanism of
the bomb.
How He Made Machine.
He began work on the bomb after
Mrs. Herrera had notified him that
a negro had been engaged to take
his place. In a short bit of pipe he
placed a bottle of nitro-glycerlne.
In the mouth of the bottle he placed
a cork In which a hole had, been
burned. A percussion cap,' a small
spring, a steel button, a box, wrap
ping ipaper and twine completed tho
death machine's make-up. . ' i
The spring was so arranged so as
to snap the button sharply against
the percussion cap when the box was
opened. ,
Like the bombs sent to Mrs. iay
lor and Judge Rosalsky, the Herrera
Infernal machine was enclosed In a
pasteboard box. Herrera found It
and took It to his wife. She opened
It. It killed . her and probably it
ruined Herrera's eyesight.
Mrs. Taylor, or Grace Walker, was
killed a year ago. The infernal in
strument iws made up to resemble
a box of candy and was mailed at
the Grand Central station. Opening
It. she was Instantly killed and umll
today the reason why her death was
sought and the Uenttty or tne assas
sin remained unknown.
The attempt on Judge Rosalsky's
life was made during the height of
the Brandt case, at a time when In
terest was focused on the SO-years
sentence Imposed by the Judge on
Brandt, Mortimer Sehlff's valet The
Instrument was sept to the Jurist's
home and placed on the library
table. He did not like Its appearance
