INVESTIGATION RESUMED. The business of the court, however, was promptly, resumed at the usual hour. The wall back of the court was adorned teday with a chart on a large séale, show- ing the ground site of the battle off S¥n- tlago on July 3. The southern coast of | Cuba in the vicinity of Santiago was plain- | ty marked, and the points at which the | anish ships went to the bottom or to the snore were all indicated in plain lettering. There were also a number of transparent charts which had been prepared = over | night, sitting about in the rear of the room | and which were intended to illustrate vari- | ous phases of the Santiago campaign. All | these had been prepared with a view of | expediting the work of the court, and all | Were on a large scale. | The first witness called today was Mr. | iA. B. Claxton, the machinist on board the Texas, who had begun his testimony when | continue in | the sittings of the court were so abrupdy terminated yesterday morning by the death | of Judge Wilson. fore Mr. Claxton took the stand, Com- | mander Heilner was recalled to make ver- | bal corrections in the official copy of his | testimony. He said he had several cor- | rections that he desired to make. In one | case he was recorded as giving the “‘bear- | me and the distance” of the Brooklyn. He d he had given the bearing and not the distance. He made various other changes, but they were not material. MOVEMENTS OF THE TEXAS. Mr. Claxton said on July 3, 1898, he had been on duty in the engine room of the Texas. Thre engine indicator had called for full speed ahead early in the mornin which had, within an hour after the Saeie: ning of the action, been changed to “ul! Speed astern.”’ To his knowledge there had been no signal for the reversal of the engines. He said that he had been excused from service in the engine room, but stiil he knew that the —- were reversed for about two min- oe witness had said that the engine was “What was the next change made i he indicator of the port engine of the Texas? ' e was asked, “Full speed ahead.’ Me Ad oases the moat after that?" e a8 no other order given for some time afterward.” . oo oer When was a further Signal received by the indicator and what was the signal?’ — “Within the first hour of the engagement the direction was changed to fu!! speed astern.”’ “Can you not re an ostimate of the time when the signal was given for full sperd astern and how long after the beginning of the action?” “I could say within the first hour.’ Was there any other signa! given during that wacen within vour knowledge for the port engines to reverse?’ “There was none to my knowledge.

CARRIED ORDERS TO SCHLEY. Rear-Admira! Cotton, now commandant of the Norfolk navy yerd, who commanded the auxiliary cruiser Harvard during the Spanish war, was the next witness. He told M4 omg Re Nying squadron, under Com- modore hiey, of Santiago On May 27. 1808, and said that on that date he had de- livered poepatehes to the then commodore from Admiral Sampson and the navy de- riment. Iie had, he said, boarded the rookiyn about 10:30 o'clock. The weati.1 Was then moderate, and he had had no difficulty in Ping ab word the Brookiyvn from his boat. He had worn his sword. “What conversation took place between ourself and Admiral Schley?’ asked Capt. y. “It will be impossible for me to state the entire conversation,” the witness replied. “] was on board, generally s eaking, from about 10:30 o'clock to noon. he conversa- tion naturally covered a very wide range the most important part of which was. of Beuree, relative to the dispatches I had de. ve "What was sald about the dispatches? “1 delivered to Commodore Schley the nal cipher in which the dispatches had received by me at St. Nicholas Mole.

Standing in the center of the room. Five minutes later, she told the coroner's jury yesterday, she heard a faint scream. She did not know whether it came from the parlor. She went to the head of the stairs and called, but received no answer. A door at the foot.of the stairs, opening into the parlor, where the shooting occurred, was closed; Mrs. Powell says it was usually left open. ; She burried downstairs and opened the door, not yet belleving that anything sert- ous had happened. As the door swung back her daughter staggered toward her, crving, “Don't go in or he will shoot you! He has shot me, and I am dying.” Mrs. Powell says her daughter then stari- ed up the stairs, but fell at the third step. Croswell Fired a Second Shot. 2ver ago. He considered al- leaving “| thought she was only playing.’ she told the coroner's jury, ‘‘and. I went into the parlor. There was a man standing there. I heard a report and saw a flash, ‘and the man went out at the door.’’ Mrs. Powell says she then went back to! where her daughter lay. She still thought the girl was only fainting, and not injured. “| dragged her down and laid her on the floor in the hall,"’ testified the mother. “and tried to take off her walst and clothes sv she could breathe. In the meantime I saw She was dying. I asked her who shot her: she could not answer me.”’ Mrs. Powell told the jury she was sure (roswell and her daughter were the only persons in the room when the tragedy oc- curred. She was positive thgt it was Cros- well who fired at her when She entered the jarlor. An investigation of the the shooting revealed an room soon after chloroform near the head of the lounge, upon Which Miss Powell was lying. Mrs. Powell testified that she thought she The weapon he used wae a new 38-caliber He bought it in St. Louis about a week ago after first trying to buy one here. iriends of the young Instructor do not think he was in the habit of carrying au revolver and they belleve he took the revolver and the bottle of chloroform with him when he went to the Powel' home in the evening. Just what happened jin the parlor In the five minutes while Mrs. Pow- ell was upstairs will never be known. Mrs. Powell testified that her daughter Said some rather harsh things to (Cro«s- well Monday, but she Knew nothing of any quarrel they had had. Story of His Fierce Infatuation. Crosswell has been a persistent suitor for the hand of Miss Powell, but was never encouraged, it is said, to think that he could win her. Miss Powell herself tulad him repeatedly that she was engaged to another and did not love him. Mrs. Pow- ell, the young woman's mother, told him the same thing. Crossweli persisted, how- ever, and a every Spare moment at the Powell home. While east last sum- mer at his home tn Cambridge, Mass. he waa offered a position In an eastern ec 1 ol and upon the advice of Miss Powell accept. ed it. Next day, however, he res gned it, returned to Rolla and resumed his atte.- tions.

Frank Powell, a brother of the murdered girl, gave the alarm immediately after the tragedy. He aroused the neighbors and ran on in search of a doctor. Dr. John- son and Dr. Kaysinger arrived in a few minutes, but the young woman was dead The news of the shooting spread rapidly over the town and before midnight 300 armed men were searching every street and alley and riding far into the country.
