Grant had told him that the £250,000 | ‘trust fund was invested in bonds that were practt- cally worthless and paid no interest at “ll. [1 eon- nection with this he calls attention to the state- ment of those who invested the trust, that It Was paying six per cent Interest, and would increase in value. ‘This, he says, 1s pretty good evidence of “a confidence game” wo get up sympathy, and he de- clares that neither Mr. Slocum nor 'Mr. Randall | Will be able to get the Grant Dill up in te House thissession. i The Nicaragua Treaty Rejected.

The amendment Was adopted by a vote of 30 to 19, and its adoption | did draw votes to the treaty, but not e1 to | carry it through.

The wit- | nes$ was asked what his conclusion was, but ob- | ‘was made. ‘Fhe district attorney sald he proposed to show that all through several months there was a differ- ence between the ink used in these entries and other entries. He thought that would be conciu- sive evidence to show that these accounts had ‘been manufactured. Judge Wylie said that business men. ntly used two or three tnk bottles. He thought the evi- dence was rather shadowy, and ruled it out. Dr. Schenffer’s attention was then. called to the tue, “U. & Bureau of Medicine and Surgery,” in theindex of the ledger, and he testified that’ the “140,” referring to the folio, had evidently been written over a recent erasure, and that the figures were written In the same dark gréen ink as the en- tries on page 140, TO-DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. When the trial was resumed this morning the istrict attorney asked for permission to re-call Mr. Drew, to ask him about something which had been discovered In the books since yesterday. The court, however, declined to permit Mr. Drew to be recalled. Mr. Worthington then offered in evidence the account on folio 876, of ledger No. 1, beginning with the item of $1,722.08. This account, Mr. Worthington sald, the government claimed, was the manufac- tured account. He also offered the account in the same ledger, on folio 177, beginning with the same item, which, he sald, the’ government would claim Was the genuine account. He cajled attention to the fact that the account on page 177 was carried over into ledger No. 2 and continued down to date. AN EXPERT IN HANDWRITING, Edward H. Rauch, of Mauch Chunk, Pa, was ‘then called by the government as an expert in handwriting. He said he had at the request of the district attorney made an examination of certain accountsin Mr. Drew’sledger. He was shown 376 in ke r No. 1, and said he had compared tl entries there with writing in other parts of the same book. He would not, he said, pretend to give an opinion as to the difference of tine between the entries—whether it was long or short. The items entered on the debit side Dearing dates Ing from March 12 to September 6, 1882, had he said a uniformity of writing, as to color of ink, the weight of hand ‘and general appearance as’ if written at the same time. Writing known to have been done at the same time would not in his judg- ment be more uinform than these entries. On the credit’ side three entries made from March 16 to Oc- ‘Vober 3, presented the same uniformity. There were three items on the credit side, about which the wit- ness was in some doubt. There were three items on the credjt side daved on different days-in Janu- ary, which Appeared to have been made at the same time. Of the remaining sixteen Items on the Page, what tne witness noticed was a striking uni- formlty in the fi on the side of the Te- ferring to the follo pages on the blotter; while there was a striking lack of uniformity in the column of doliars and cents. The witness thought it highly improbable that the entries in which the uniform- ity as to writing existed were written at different Umes. ‘The witness was then asked as to the ac- count on page 177, which the government clalms to have been the feauins account. He said he noticed lar about this account, except the Hirst entries on each side of the account. ‘These were the entries of the $1,722.08 accounts. The wit- ness said it was evident that the figure “1” had been written ata diflerent time from the $722.08. ‘The radical difference in ink, he said, made this plain, | The witness examined also the 140 written ma eee over a Geeta erie aos eg Ing the page with a: giass as he testifi sald that he discove the remains of the lower curve of the figure 8 or 5 as the first figure He thought trom the eral character of the iu the book that It was a figure & ‘The witness thought the figure “1” in the number 817 in the Index, over which @ pencil mark had been drawn, a new number being written above it, showed evidences of erasure. _ It appeared to be the remains of a figure “7” or “9,” but he thought it Was a “7,” as the “9's” in the book were invariably carried beiow the line. ‘The erasure over which the “140” Was written ap} when witness first ex- amined it yesterday to be a fresh erasure. It to- day, however, showed some change incident to ing. “Do you mean that it has been tampered with?” | asked the district attorney. “Not at all” said the withess. “The slight touch ineldent to inspecting it would produce such a change.” The witness said he had not had time to make @ thorough examination or comparison of accounts in No. 2. ‘Mr. Worthington said he would examine him on this after he had had time for inspecting the book. Judge Wylle remarked that he tuought that he had had enough on that branch of the subject. On cross-examination the witness said that he came here yesterday morning and received $25 a day for his services ag an expert. He was an ex- Pert as to inks, 80 far as the eye was concerned. It Was & delicate subject and often required fine microscopic or chemical tests. On redirect examination he sald that the differ- ence in the inks in the figures in the $1,722.08 entries ‘Was such as to be detected by the eye and require metal is 2” said Mr. Moore, your “Yes, sir;” suid the wits DR. BOHAEFFER RECALLED. Dr. E. M. Schaeffer, ist, was then re- called, and testified that under the “140” in the in- dex he found traces beneath the “1” of a mark like the curl of therunner of an old-fashioned skate, the remains apparently of a “8,” a “5,” or a very pecu- Mar “9.” Under the “4” he found a mere mark re- maining, the remnant of some erased figure.

The witness was asked to turn to other fe la pages 370, 855, and were mn! from the ' book. ‘The witness said that in the account on page 140 with the bureau of medicine and surgery the en- tries ce endey, from December, 1882, to November, 1883, were written in the same ink.’ He had com: pared these entries with the account with the Cen- tral National Bank for the same period and found that the ink used on page 140 had not been used in any entry in the account. When Dr. Schaef- fer left the stand Mr. Worthington announced that the government was through with the evidence in rebuttal. MORE TESTIMONY FOR DEFENSE. Alonzo Taylor, a young man employed at Mr. E. G. Wheeler's Junk establishment, [on 7th street, testified that about January, 1884, he purchased a, quantity of books, pamphlets and almanaca, the almanacs having Mr. Drew's advertisement upon them. Among vies purchased were several books oF ledgers, some with the backs torn off and others not. He did not know the man from whom he bought them. ‘The articles purchased were bagged up and sent to the mill. r. Moore then called Mr. E. B. Hay as an expert im Le gead the testimony of Dr, Schaefer and Mr. mi ir. Hay said he had had time only to make a entyory examination, as the books had been taken from him by the counsel for the government, Mr. We ton said to the court that he would ‘De very. it fe.

The district attorney settled all dispute relating to the old Indictment, referring to a transaction in 1881, by entering a nolle pros. as to that. After some discussion as to the validity of the various counts in the several indictments, Judge Wylle sald that atter the argument he would give his | views to the jury as to which counts a conviction might be found under. It was his opinion that he Would instruct them that a conviction could be found only under the second count of the three Indictments of the later series of 11 clments. He thought that there might be evidence | enough in the case to sustain the first counts In the Old series, alleging that the accounts com- Plained of were “false and forged.” He would. therefore, sustain the first counts in the three oid indictments,and the second counts in the three new Indictments. He would instruct the Jury that a conviction imust be found under these counts. A Tecess was then taken, After the recess Mr. Moore submitted, oa behalt of the defendent, a proposal that the case go to the jury without'argument by the counsel. The government declined Mr. Moore's proposition for reasons stated by Mr. Worthington, Mr. Coyle then began the opening argument.
