Just before Cowan was called to the stand to-day, his counsel, in hits opening address to the jurors, declared that he expected to jbove that this was not a murder but a suicide pact This served to confirm the belief that Cowan for his defense would fall back on the contention that Edith Burton took her own life. This issue, however, was somewhat shrouded in doubt when later Attorney McGoIdrick asserted that he would prove there had been much drinking by Cowan and Miss Burton just prior to the tragedy, and then told the jurors that, in the event they believed Cowan was so far under the influence of liquor as not to realize the quality of his acts at tha time, they must give him the benefit of sthisr condition and exonerate him. On the stand, however, Cowan left Ro doubt that hi defense was to be that Miss Burton shot and killed herself.

According to Cowan, it waa she who suggested that they end their lives. Funeral service Friday. 2 P. M. In-, h'rty yeata except or Iie years torment Lutheran Cemetery.

A brand new subway route for Brooklyn was submitted to-day in the Board of Estimate by the Board of Transportation. The route will be known as the High street loop, Cranberry street to Jay street. It is so designed that connection can conveniently bo made with other proposed rapid transit railroads. It will be a four-track subway.

Although the Board of Transportation would no comment, it la generally understood this route may be choaen to tie with the proposed new subway to Washington Heights, thereby bringing that line into Brooklyn. The submission of the High street loop Is regarded as a sop to Bor-ough President Joseph A. Gilder, who, strenuously voiced objections to a Brooklyn- crosstown subway route as originally proposed by Che Transportation Board. The Transportation Board, It is known, as had frequent conferences with the Borough President and regards auy statement as what the High street loop will be tied tip with as premature. According to fhe Transportation Board communications to the Board of Estimate, this route begins st a point at or near the intersection of Cranberry and Fulton streets, where a connection can conveniently be made with other 'proposed rapid transit railroads; thence extending easterly under and along High street street at or curving under and across High street and private property to a point under private propertv in rthe westerly line of Jay street, at or near the northwesterly corner of Jay -and Nassau streets, where a connection can conveniently be made with other proposed rapid I the largest number of restorations to citizenship in a like period, except for the year 1920' According to the table, there were 3.117 persons convicted during the ear endnig Octt.

The board authorized the Houid of Transportation to spend nearly five millions of dollars to prosecute subway contracts, of which $345,021 Is to go to Brooklyn.

The Borough President to-day ua-sured property owners that he would assume responsibility for settling the assessment involved in the City taking title to Avenue from Kings Highway to Utica avenue and Flat lands avenue, from Avenue to East 108th street. Brooklyn improvements totaling $1,188,700, voted by the board, included street paving, grading and sewers. One of tho big features of the Brooklyn improvement authoria tlons to-day was an appropriation of nearly $1,000,000 for sewers in Flatbush to eliminate as much as possible the flood conditions which prevail In that section during heavy storms. The principal system of relief sewers authorises to-day will be built in Fifth avenue from 1 Seventy-second street to Seventy- 1 eighth street, in Seventy-eighth street from Fifth to Narrow's avenue and In Narrows avenue from Seventy-eighth street to Seventy- ninth street.

Mrs. than 690 residents in the neighborhood of North Henry and Herbert streets were disappointed In their plans for immediate acquisition of a park site at those corners, when Acting Mayor Joseph V.

It has 114 feet frontage, and Is 140 feet deep.

It will come again before the board three weeks from now. The Board of Estimate made three zone changes.
