TRIAL OF DISBRQW P BEGUN TODAY He is Accused of the Murder of "Dimples" Lawrence and His Chum, Young Clarence Foster HEINOUS GRIME WAS COMMITTED LAST JULY First Witness on the Stand Identifies Telegram Inter est in the Case Has Not Abated Riverhead, L. I.f Jan. 14. Disbrow was brought into court this morning shortly before nine o'clock. Erastus W. Tuthill of Eastport, telegraph operator of the Long Island railroad, was the first witness. He identified a telegram written by Disbrow as did Will Walton, who was also called to the stand. The telegram was then Dut in evidence as follows: "To Mrs. J. L. Lawrence. Good Ground, L. I. 'Dimp and Clarence are together: I will not rest until I find them. (Signed) 'L. A. DISBROW." Louis A. Disbrow is charged with be ing responsible for the drowning of Dimples" Lawrence and Clarence T. Foster .in Tiana bay. near Good Ground, last June. It was learned this morning thatMiss Anna Pearsal, chief witness for the prosecution, is in Atlantic City and will not appear against Disbrow. She testified at a preliminary examination that she overheard Disbrow and "Dim ple" Lawrence talking on the night the girl was killed. Her non-appearance as a witness knocks a big hole in the prosecution's case. That interest in the case has abated very little since last summer is shown by the fact that the hotels in River head are already filled and every avail able room in the village has been en- aged by those who are to be here either as witnesses or merely to listen to the story that will be told during the trial. The work of securing the jury was completed last night. It is expected that Disbrow will go on the stand in his own defense, and that, more than any other feature of the case, . is being talked about. Throughout Disbrow has been silent as to what he knows about the tragedy which resulted in the death of the two young persons with whom he was in timate. It was his silence that lent so much of mystery and interest to the case last summer. uistrict Attorney smith will swear many witnesses who did not appear in the case when Disbrow was first ar raigned before Magistrate Edward Fos ter, in Good Ground, and many of these new witnesses will give testi mony bearing on the alleged motive in the case. The Distriet Attorney will try to show that Disbrow was in love with Miss Lawrence; that Foster had robbed him of the girl's affections; that they had a serious quarrel and fight on the beach; that Foster had taken some of his money at cards, and other circumstances, making it clear as alleged, that Disbrow, being con siderably under the influence of liquor and possessed of an ungovernable tem per, killed Foster in a fit of jealous madness. Disbrow has been confined in jail here since he was held for the grand jury at Good Ground last July. He was indicted for murder in September. 'Dimples" Lawrence was buried in the village cemetery here, and her grave, upon which flowers have not had time to grow, is in sight of Disbrow's cell window. Disbrow has grown much stouter, weighing nearly 20 pounds more than when he was first locked up. Disbrow, Foster and Miss Lawrence mm is on THE STAND AGAIII Hillside Coal and Iron Co., Official tells Why Company Objects to Paying For Full Ton Philadelphia, Jan. 14. Gen. Wilson again presided over the coal strike ses sion today. Superintendent May, of the Hillside Coal and Iron Co., was re called this morning and was asked many questions concerning the condi tion of the Pennsylvania Coal Com pany's mines, the object being to show that its employees are well paid, well treated and satisfied. May, in answer to questions by Ma jor warren, declared it the weight or the miner's ton was made 2,240 pounds, the company would be forced to pay full mining rates for the cheap grades of pea and buckwheat coal and also for all impurities. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 14. 1903 were companions about the summer resorts in the vicinity of Good Ground, on the south shore of Long Island. Disbrow is 23 years old and the son of a wealthy and influential family living at Richmond Hill. "Dimples" Law rence likewise was a member of an old and wealthy family. She was 18 years old and very vivacious and Dret- ty. Clarence Foster was 22 years old. j He was married and lived with "his ! young wife at Good Ground. Miss Law rence was boarding with her mother for the summer at the Ocean View Ho tel, kept by Warren Corwin. Miss Lawrence was known to be ad mired by both Disbrow and Foster and the three were seen much together. On the night of June 11 Disbrow took Miss Lawrence out for a drive and the two were soon after joined by Foster, the trio driving first to the Hampton Pines Clubhouse. Leaving there about mid night they drove to the Tunnel Hotel, where Disbrow boarded, near the spot on the bay where the two bodies were found. Nothing very definite is known of what happened just prior to the drown ing, except that Disbrow, Foster and the girl were in the hotel together and that Foster and Disbrow quarreled and had more serious trouble down on the beach. When neither Miss Lawrence nor Foster appeared the next morning inquiry was made, but no light was thrown on the mystery until about 10 o'clock, when Disbrow appeared at the livery stable with the wagon and said that Foster and "Dimples" were to gether. Then he disappeared and was not seen again until produced by his lawyer. The bodies of Miss Lawrence and Foster were found on the beach and an upturned boat near them. WANT AN INCREASE.

OUTLOOK GLOOMY FOR MR, MULLEN From a Reliable Source it is Learned That His Head will Fall Into The Official Basket EXPLANATION DID NOT SATISFY POWERS THAT BE Mr. Hiss, it is Said, Could Have Plum if He Wanted it, But He is Not The Race in Postmaster Jonas W. Mullen has re turned from Washington where it is understood he went for the purpose of presenting to the Post Office depart ment his answer to the charges that Inspector Entleman has caused to be lodged against him. The News learns today from a per fectly reliable source that Charlotte will soon have a new postmaster. In other words, Mr. Mullen's explanation has not satisfied the powers at Wash ington and, in consequence, he is to be made to pay the penalty lose his of fice. During Mr. Mullen's stay in Wash ington he did not get to see Senator Pritchard, who is not yet able to leave the hospital. He did, however, visit the department and see to some mat ters relative to the rural delivery sys tem in Mecklenburg in which Mr. Mul len has taken quite an active part. a pruimnem local itepuDiiean was asked today who would succeed Mr Mullen, but this gentleman declined to state. He has alwavs been a warm supporter of the present incumbent and even now hopes that something may transpire to keep him in office, but, he fears there is nothing to be done. In regard to the charge of partisan snip that Mr. Mullen makes against Inspector Entleman, none of the local Republicans will say one word that would tend to sustain this charge. On the other hand one of the aspirants for post office informs the. News man that Mr. Entleman has, on more than one occasion, gono out of his way to favor Mr. Mullen. This aspirant adds that. it is awfully poor taste in Mr. Mullen to make this charge when he knows that he cannot substantiate it. Mr. Entleman lives in Asheville and as inspector of post offices, his field is Western North Carolina. It was Mr Kntleman who made the charge against Mr. Mullen last spring that came near cutting off his (Mullen's) omciai head, Since that occurrence, it is said, that there has been no love lost between the inspector and the Charlotte postmaster. The aspirants for this lucrative posi tion are not allowing any grass to grow beneath their political shoes. The News man learns today that a com mittee will visit Washington early next week to confer with Senator Pritchard as to who will succeed Mr. Mullen. Some claim that Mr. Geo. B. Hiss has changed his mind and will enter the race. Mr. Hiss declines to say yea or nay. He did, however, say that he would not have the office un der any consideration. This statement was made to the News man by Mr. Hiss, several weeks ago. It has been known for several days that Mr. Hiss had been asked to enter the race but. so far, it has been generally under stood that he would be hands off. Mr. E. M. Bell is in the fight to stay. He has splendid backing and his friends say he is a dead, sure winner. .Mr. Jake Newell is keeping the wires hot between here and Washington, and is also taxing the mails with his en- TOSEE MORGAN He Wanted to Talk Over Coal Situation, But is Fined Ten Dollars For His Great Pains New York, Jan. 14.

He said he wanted to talk with him about the coal situation and when told Mr. Morgan was away he then asked for Perkins, Morgan's chief lieutenant. The clerks tried to lead him away but Gilbert refused to go. He was arrested later and fined ten dollars for intoxication. BOOZY MAH TRIES dorsements. He is very sanguine as to the outcome. Mr. D. Kirby Pope is one of the busiest men in the city. When he has his official eye off that Norfolk and Western, $10,000 suit, it is focussed on the post office. He declines to say what his chances are. TRUST DENOUNCES TEDDY. Sugar Barons Have Lively Times. Cry for More Dividends. Jersey City, Jan. 14.

THAT COAL DODGE. House Chewing the Rag Over Suspen sion of the Duty. Washington, Jan. 14.

EIGHT JURORS IN Special Venire is Not Ex hausted and the Jury Will Probably Be Complete This Afternoon Hertford, N. C, Jan. 14. The sec ond day of the Wilcox trial is marked by a phenomenally large attendance. The court room is packed from floor to ceiling and every door and window is at a premium. Attorney Bond, of the defense, who wsa taken ill yesterday, is yet unwell, and the defense asked for. a continuance. Judge Council de nied the motion, saying: "The pris oner is yet well represented and the public and public necessity demand that the trial continue." This denial met with universal approval. A ripple of satisfaction swept over the expect ant sea of faces. The morning was consumed in select ing a jury. At one o'clock the special venire was challenged and at this wir ing eight jurors have been accepted and court has not yet adjourned for dinner. Jim Wilcox appears defiant today and frequently converses with his attorneys. Mr. W. Hi Cropsey is the only mem ber of the family present and he sits removed from counsel, apparently only an interested observer, No attempts have been made to snap shot Wilcox today, the weather being cloudy. Interest increases as the trial advances and increased attendance is anticipated. The selecting of the jury will no doubt conclude early, and taking of testimony may begin late this after noon.
