His Wife and Two Daughters. Victims of Frightful Tragedy . Were Returning Home From Picnic When Their Buggy is Struck by Fast Train, the Occupants of the Vehicle Being Hurled Against the Front cf i the Locomotive. Salt Lake City, Utah. Scofield Kershaw, a wealthy farmer living near Layton, his wife and two daughters, Rhoda and Anna Kershaw, were instantly killed by a fast train on the Oregon Short Line at Layton at 7:30 oclock Tuesday evening. The party was driving across the track Just as the train swept around the curve. Before they had time to get off the tain bore down upon them. The engineer endeavored to stop the train immediately before the accident occurred, but was unable to do so. The station at Layton is so situatet! as to hide from. view any train approaching from the north. For that reason the Kershaw family had practically no warning of the peril that waa upon them. They were riding in a single-seatevehicle, the children being in the laps of their parents, the elder girl driving the horse. The occupnnts of the buggy saw the approaching train as the horse stepped upon the track. Rhoda, 15 years of age, attempt to hack the horse from the tracks, but the animal became frightened and plunged forward. As it did so the engine struck the buggy with a terrible Impact. The occupants of the vehicle were hurled against the front of the locomotive above the pilot. The force of the shock was so great that the bodies of all the four were crushed and mangled. The speed of the train was so great that, although the engineer closed the throttle and set the emergency brakes, with every wheel sliding, it went half a mile before it was brought to a stop. The four bodies were removed from above the pilot, where they were wedged beneath the front end of the boiler. Mr. and Mrs. Kershaw had been at the Old Folks' picnic at Lagoon and were returning thence at the time of the accident. Both of themjiad been members of the entertainment committee which planned the picnic for the old people of Salt Lake and Davis counties. They left the picnic grounds on the 6.40 o'clock train. They were met at Layton by the two girls, who had driven from the farm, three miles d distant.

When closed its case, . ou Friday, against William 1). Haywood, charged with the murder of Frank Steunenberg, the defense made ' an unsuccessful attempt to secure from the court an order directing the jury to acquit the Woods ruling, prisoner. Judge which requires the defense to meet with evidence the ease that the state bad presented, was made at 5:15 oclock, and It was then arranged that Haywood's counsel should make their opening statement and present their first testimony on Monday morning. The motion for an Instruction to the jury to acquit was by agreement session, presented at the afternoon and the 'jury was sent back to the jury house out of hearing of the argument. Attorney 12. F. Richardson made the principal argument lit support of the motion In a long, carefully prepared and eloquent speech. He took for his guide the Idaho statute which forbids conviction upon the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice, and quoting many authorities lu support of his contention that there must be convincing corroboration entirely independent of the, testimony of the accomplices. amt made an analysis of all the testimony offered. He declared that none of the testimony could staud without the support of Orchard's story, and that the statute specifically forbade its acceptance under those circumstances. He also argued that the testimony of Orchard was the only showing that In any way connected Haywood with the crime, and that the statute forbade conviction under those circumstances. Senator Borah, who alone spoke for the state, argued with like force and eloquence that Haywood's connection had been Independently shown, and that Orchard's testimony had been corroborated by Independent circumstances and evidence. He also submitted a general argument to show that the state had established the existence of a general conspiracy in which Haywood was a participant and in which he strongly developed the alleged connection of Pettibone and Simpkins. Clarence Darrow, who closed, pleaded that there was not a shred of evidence in the case capable of standing without "the rotten thread of Orchard's story" to sustain it, and that the plain provision Of the Idaho statute made the duty of the court clear. He ridiculed the idea of a general conspiracy, and contended that If the most liberal allowance were made for the entire showing of the state that It would not make out a case against the prisoner worthy or submission to the Jury. Haywoods Lawyers Assume the Aggressive in Legal Battle at EoEse. to Impeach the Evidence of Murderer Orchard by a Score of Witnesses. The State's Main Testimony Already Before the Jury. Expect noise, Idaho. The closing of the :ase of the state leaves the great batik against and for the life of Wiliam D. Haywood In the midfield, and ;rom now forward the sides change assume the aggres-live- , -t- he defenders the prosecutors are on the defensive. The state will carry its case an aggressive an through and then present testimony in rebuttal, but its main prop, e rsltion and shoeing are already the Jury. The course of the counsel for the parlefense during ticularly when they laid tho founds lion for their Impeachment of Op ;hard, and tne personality of many ot ;he witnesses they have summoned here, make their general course quite lear. It is manifest that they will that Orchard endeavor to show killed Steunenberg to be revenged for the loss of the Hercules mine and several witnesses will swear that they heard Orchard tell the Hercules tale and vow that ho would kill Steunenberg. They will probably show also that Jack Simpkins was a prisoner in the bullpen" where a negro thrust a bayonet into his chest, circumstances that gave the two common causes against Steunenberg. There will likely be a showing that all of the financial relations of Haywood and Simpkins came in the natural and regular course of conduct ing the business affairs of the fed eration. In this connection as well as to the grants of money and food to Orchard and his wife and Steve Adams, the books and records of tht federation will probably be pro be-for- -- duced. Orchard's story about the letters connected with the alleged plan to de celve his wife will in all probability he directly controverted and gener ally discredited. It is expected that Haywood will go on the stand and that there wn also be a strong showing as to hli character. The defense has upward of 150 witnesses and it i estimated that it will take from three weeks t a month to present all of its test! mony. ITALIAN RUNS AMUCK.
