The Defendant Tells the Jnry of Hl Re lations With His Brother-in-law and the Incidents of the Shooting:. Cambridge, Mass., May 7. The cli max In tbf Eastman murder case Was reached today when the defendant himself took the stand to tell his own story. He went into no elaborate de tails, but answered only the questions put to him by his lawyer. For two hours he was on the stand, giving his testimony as to his relations with Gro gan and the incidents of the day of the shooting. He declared that the shoot ing was an accident, and that up to last October he had always believed that it was the old rim-fire pistol that discharged the bullet that killed his brother-in-law. The struggle which followed, he said, was for the possession of the center fire pistol which Grogan had in his hand. Eastman said that he went to Grogan first to assist him and then, be cause of the expression on his face, to get the. weapon away from him. He said that there was so much noise and confusion' in the struggle that he could not recall the times Groan's pistol went off.- But that it did go off he was almost certain. He did not Jtnow how he received his own wound, and said he did everything possible after the affair to assist Grogan to the house and was prostrated with grief when he found that he was dying. The cross-examination was not fin ished when the court adjourned for the day. Mrs. Eastman, wife of the defendant, was on the stand most of the forenoon. She was visibly affected by the minute examination as to the incidents imme diately preceeding the tragedy and re garding certain statements made by her hushband she wrept. Mrs. Eastman said she did not re member any such incident as that re lated by Mrs. Grogan, Sr., who testi fied that Eastman had said Grogan's days were numbered. Witness never said that Eastman had been drinking nor had she ever heard Mrs. Grogan, Jr., say he had been drinking. Mrs. Eastman also testified that in June the lock on the tomb contain ing Grogan's body had been tampered jvith, but no one had asked permission to open the tomb. Attorney General Knowlton declined to cross-examine Mrs. Eastman. The defendant, Charles R. Eatsman, then took the stand to testify in his own behalf. He said that his relations "with Grogan always were pleasant.and that from the fall of 1899 they were on terms of greatest, friendship. He de nied that any quarrel took place in No vember, 1899; that any jealousy exist ed because Grogan had undertaken the business left by their father-in-law, or that he ever had said in the pres ence of Grogan's mother that Gro gan's days were short. Witness relat ed the incidents of target practice on the morning of July 4, of dining and going to the swimming races in com pany with Grogan. Eastman said he found the jaces slow and started back home with his wife. He denied that ne urged Gro gan to return with them, but said Grogan overtook him on the way home. Eastman could not tell whether it was -Grogan or himself who suggested a re sumption of target shooting. In the main, Eastman's story of the shooting of Grogan is as was repeated by the witnesses who had' heard East man's statement immediately after the event. He said thM his recollection of what happened after he and Grogan clinched was very indistinct. 'There -was," he said, "a struggle for the pos session of the gun. There was confus ion, exclamations, noise, and cries, anc! the next I remember was the deep indrawing of breath, when he (Grogan) burst out with something like 'Daipan it, I am shot Finally I got posses sion of the revolver after a long strug gle and Grogan Vas brought to ills knjs. . . I don'?t inosrexactly what hap pened after that, because ot the fright and horror and of the agonized cries. I cried out to him, to let go' while j (on nia part he. said in the most agonizing tones, Oh! Oh J Oh!' i nexi remem ber that we were running and thatjwe came together again for another strjig gle. Some weapon I don't know what, lay on the ground and I tried to kick it out of the way." . I Greensboro, N. C.

It is an inheritance that makes one poorer ; that brings wretchedness and disease instead of health and riches, for the child whose ancestral blood is tainted with Scrofula or the loathsome virus of Contagious Blood Poison is unfitted for the arduous duties of life so long as any of the transmitted -poison remains in its veins. Scrofula manifests itself in various forms; swollen glands about the neck and throat, catarrh of the head, weak eyes, hip bone disease, white swelling anc offensive sores and abscesses are familiar symptoms, attended usually witE loss of strength, poor digestion and pale or bloodless complexion. The skin ia sometimes most dreadfully affected, eruptions breaking out on all parts of the body. Scrofula destroys bone, tissue and flesh ; no part of the human system escapes its :i : v t- When nineteen years old, and about one year I ,u iuuuu after the birth of ray first ohild, the glands on Parents whose blood is pois- tne left side of ray neck began to swell. Four of onea Dy tneir own misaeeas, the places were lanced and became open. running sores; risings came under my left arm, and the discharge was simply awful.. The doctors said I had the worst case of Scrofula they had ever seen. I took iodide of potassium, but this nor the other drugs given for this disease brought relief When the physicians advised me to have the glands removed, I decided to try S. S. S. . A few bottles cured me completely; no signs of the terrible disease are left. 2IBS. BIOHABB WAS SON, Golden CornersV Ohio. reeoisboro Loan and Trust Oo. CAPITAL STOCK, $100,000.00.
