Sapp, a coal driver, was arrested to-day charged with incest, bis victim being a daughter aged The man was caught in the act by another daughter who told the mother. Sapp was committed in default of $1,000 bail. At 4 o'clock Professor Sousa, leader of the Sousa band, was placed on the stand and testified as to Madame Decca's character her relations to the band while he was connected with it. Mr. Chrisman stated in the beginning of his testimony that his wife had been an extravagant beer and whiskey guzzler, but Mr.

Sonsa said he never saw her under the influence of liquor and did know that she touched intoxicants. He stated that Madame Decca was with him on three tours, two before she was married and one after she was Mrs. Chrisman. Mr. Sousa paid the singer many pleasant compliments and said on the last tour she was different in her manner than on the two preceding ones.

He was unable to tell whether it was due to her hav. ing been married or whether Mr. Chrisman caused tho change. He said her singing on all the tours was of the most artistic and satisfactory manner to every person who heard her. When asked whether a quart of whiskey, if drank by the singer, would interfere with her singing, objections were raised.

Mr. Sousa contradicted the statements made about Miss Johnston, Madame Decca's aunt, relative to her going along with the singer and being a nuisance. He explained that Miss Johnston was very much devoted to Madame Decca, and because of this he thought it would be advisable to have a companion the singer who would not be so particular. He bad and has yet the most profound respect for Miss Johnston, and in no sense meant to convey any ill feeling toward her. "Miss Johnston tairly idolized the girl, and I may have written to that effect to Mr.

Blakely, at that time the Mr. Sousa. He was sure he would known it if she had nald. used liquor on these tours, and he never detected the odor of liquor on her breath, This bearing accompanied by wit and humor, which both sides supplied in the most jovial manner. Mr.

Sousa referred to Attorney Hall as "judge," whereupon that gentleman said, "I once wanted to be a judge but I did not sueceed in making it. My friend, Mr. Kunkel, the judge in this case." Fre. quently the attorneys on both sides told Mr. Sousa what to say, but he took it all and said, "I am in the hands pleasantly, everybody." The hearing was then adjourned for several weeks.

JIM BELL SAYS HE'S NOT GUILTY.

BROUGHT TO THE COUNTY JAIL. A Large Crowd Follows the Man Who Is Supposed to Have Murdered Ellen Miller. WANTS THE COURT TO TRY HIS CASE, There was a large crowd at the union depot last evening at 7.20 o'clock when County Detective Spitler and Constable Henry Williams arrived with James Bell, the colored man, who murdered Ellen Miller, his white mistress, in a hovel at Steelten in which they lived on the night of April 10. The crowd at the depot was rather unexpected as it was not generally known that the murderer would be brought to this city last evening. The facts connected with the awful crime and still fresh in the minds of all newspaper readers, but the disappearance of Bell on the night the murder was committed peared to be a mystery, as noone seemed to know where he was or how it was possible for him to escape without any person seeing him.

After Bell had been located at Waverly, near Baltimore, the requisition papers were promptly forwarded to the governor of Maryland, who was then at the World's fair. The papers were signed on October 28, and ou Tuesday night they arrived at Baltimore. Accordingly the two officers proceeded to the county jail and secured Bell and started for Harrisburg. The journey was made without any particular incident other than that the prisoner had an unusual appetite. He joked about ordinary circumstances, but never once referred to the horrible murder for which he was being brought to Harrisburg to answer.

SAYS HE IS NOT GUILTY. It was announced that Bell would make a confession to District Attorney Detweiler this afternoon. Accordingly that official went to the county jail and directed that the supposed murderer be brought into the private office at the jail. When Bell was brought out of his cell, which is on the second tier of the jail, he looked haggard and very much troubled. As he walked by the STAR-INDEPENDENT representative it was noticed that his step was unsteady, and he was trembling from head to foot.

He was unshaved and dressed in a coarse suit of clothing. He was taken into the private office, where the district attorney and his stenographer were waiting to hear the statement he had to make. The newspaper reporters waited patiently for forty-five minutes or more in the main office for the confession or statement from the man who was held for the murder of Ellen Miller. At last at 2.45 o'clock the district attorney appeared and announced that Bell said he is not guilty of murdering Ellen Miller. That he and several others had been drinking that night, and he was unable to tell who killed the wo wan because he was too drunk to know.

Bell told the district attorney that he wanted an attorney and to be tried by the court. Next Monday morning, at 10 o'clock, he will be given a hearing when it is pected some interesting matter will be brought out. Death of Samuel Buehler. Samuel Buehler died at his home, No. 343 South River avenue, at 4.30 o'clock this morning.
