Fosburg was pTaced on trial at Pittsfield, Mass., Thursday morning, charged with shooting his ROBERT S. FOSBURG. sister, May Fosburg, on the night of Aug. 20, 1900. The formal preliminary step was taken today when the young man was called before the Superior Court and pleaded not guilty to the In­ dictment for manslaughter. In addi­ tion to the fact that the Fosburgs are people of wealth and social standing, the killing of the handsome girl of 18, in the dead of night and under pecul­ iarly dramatic circumstances, was In itself so shocking an affair that the country rang with the story for months before it took on the added Interest of young Fosburg's indictment and arrest for the crime. Before that event no­ body outside a narrow circle in touch with the Chief of Police and the Pros­ ecuting Attorney here had the remotest suspicion there was anything else in the tragedy than just what the Fos­ burg family said there was--a plain case of murder committed by burglars caught in the act of pillaging the house. It is the theory of the prosecu­ tion that burglars had nothing what­ ever to do with the crime. The State will endeavor to prove that Miss Fos­ burg was killed aa the result of a furi­ ous family fight which broke out in the dead of the night, and that the story of the invasion of the house by bur­ glars was hastily concocted to gave the reputation of the family and to avert the punishment of one of its members or a crime which even the prosecution doea not charge was premeditated or evbi. intended, so far as the victim was concerned, on the part of the person who committed it It la not the theory m of a wb< ̂in Fosburg, Sr., by Htfe* time fifl|| her husband's assistance, ait She too was beaten, but bayond severe bruises received no lasting injury. Tha noiSe of the struggle awakened other mem­ bers of the family in their respective rooms. Miss May Fosburg got out of bed and went across the room to the door opening Into the hall. • As she reached It and was about to step into the hall a man standing on the thresh­ old of the spare room opposite fired two pistol shots, one of which struck her in the heart, killing her Instantly. Aa she was sinking to the floor her brother, Robert Stewart Fosburg, the same who is now under indictment for killing her, who was rushing through her room to reach the scene of the struggle, caught her in his arms and laid her down. Then he, too, had a fierce struggle with one of the burglars, and was struck on the head by a con­ federate as his father had been. One burglar rushed down the back stairs and escaped by the door; two more of the gang got out of an upper window to the roof of a veranda and so to the ground. . THREE NEGROES HANGED.

India Dndtr Iron Heol. India is threatened with famine to the extent unparalleled in the history of that country, according to Romesh Dutt, a distinguished Anglo-Indian of the imperial revenue department.

Mr. Dutt said at London: "England's op­ pressive and frequently Illegal finan­ cial treatment of India is largely re­ sponsible for famines. Unless this sys­ tem is radically changed the Indian empire will live in a perpetual shadow of famine, with its attendant misery and death." f ^ •Ml lft lis yawl rigwd yacht Venitstaof deiphla at a poitit t#e miles eastV Sand's point.
