Pestu, April 15.—Emperor Francis Joseph and Empress Elizabeth accompanied by Arch- duchess Valerie started for Ischl at 9 o'clock last night. It is officially denied that the con- dition of the empress is as bad as is reported. Her neuralgia is abating and it is reported that the massage treatment she is undergoin; will effect a cure.

Mrsxxapouts, Mrsx., April 15.—Charles FP. Hatch, president of the Wisconsin, Minnesota and Pacific railroad company, committed sui- cide this morning in his office by shooting him- self in the mouth with a revolver. The suicide is well nigh inexplicable, as Mr. Hatch’s busi- ness and domestic relations were of the hap- jest. He was un even tempered man and his riends are at a loss to explain the deed. It is hinted that he had been speculating in wheat and had lost heavily, that this caused a sudden despondency. His friends laugh at this story. — A RIV PIRATE KILLED. Shot Dead After He Had Wounded an Officer. Lovisvinie, Ky., April 15.—Marshal 'H. B. Clare and two deputies went on board the shanty boat of D. W. Jones at Warsaw, Ky., yesterday, and attempted to search it for stolen goods. Jones resisted, shooting Clare in the shoulder, and the deputies then fired upon and killed him. Jones is enid to have been a notori- ous river pirate, and a quantity of goods stolen from the residence of a citizen of Warsaw was found upon the boat. Jones’ wife, who claimed to be formerly Linnie West, of Cincinnati, oc- cupied the boat with her husband and sister. The inquest acquitted the officers of blame. PROGRESS IN MEXICO. What President Diaz Finds to Say in His Annual Message. City or Mexico, April 15.—President Diaz in his message to congress gave information re- garding various enterprises and public im- provements as follows: “The mining industry continues in full de- velopment, and the good effects of the law of June 6, 1887, in regard to the concession of mining zones, are visible m the number of con- tracts that have been made in aecordance with its preseriptions. ‘The contracts now in force promise an investment in mining enterprises of more than #40.000,000, It b r stantaimof the government to develop the productive power of the nation. “The cultivation of the vine and the breeding of the silk worm continue to occupy the atten- tention of our industrial class, Day by day we may note the progress of these two industrie: which are destined at no distant date to exe: cise a remarkable influence on the productive power of Mexico. Nor is the day far off when our national establishment of pisciculture, whose object is to people our waters with new kinds of fish, will begin to show useful results, It is proper to mention in this connection the important and gratuitous assistance with which asimilar establishment in the United States has favored us, “From September up to the present more than five million hectares of public land have been surveyed by companies duly authorized. The | operations éffected in the sale of public lands, | especially in some of the border states, have been fertile of happy results. “The hydraulic works undertaken to protect | ¢} the bank of the Rio Bravo at Ciudad Juarez are on the eve of completion. Seven jetties which protect an extent of more tham 5 kilo- | meters hi already been constructed. At | Matamoras three jetties with an aggregate | length of 236 meters have been construc which, in connection with those already exis ing there. will protect that city from the seri ous dangers that threatened it. Remarkable improvements are to be recorded in the Fed- telegraph system. The total length of the m. excluding double and triple wires the lines temporarily transferred to the states, | is 21,200 kilometres.” In his general resume of finances the Presi- dent says that the revenues are increasing. the collections in the first half of the current fiscal year being somewhat greater than in the cor- responding period of the previous year, CATHOLIC UNIV ERSITY RULES.

A Short Sketch of His Eventful Career. Admiral Wm. Rogers Taylor (retired) died last night, in his seventy-eighth year, at his apartments at the Portland. His funeral will take place from St. John’s church Wednesday at2o'clock. He was born November 7, 1811, in Rhode Island, and on the Ist of April, 1828, was appointed a midshipman in the navy. He served in the war with Mexico on board the old St. Mary's as a lieutenant, and was present during the siege of Vera Cruz by Gen. Scott, being in command of a gun in the naval battery. In 1836, when the sloop-of-war Peacock ran ashore on the Island of Madeira Midshipman Taylor was sent to Muscat in com- mand of a cutter, to convey the diplomatic agent of this country to that place with some treaties in his.charge. It was a perilous sea voyage of nearly five months’ duration, attended with peril from bad weather and from the Arab pirates, some of whom chased the cutter with her brave little commander for several hours. Upon his arrival at Muscat the Imaum placed a sloop of war under his command to render aid to the threatened Peacock. He saw service during the civil war, being senior officer off Charleston in January, 1863, when two rebel rams attacked the squadron, and engaged one of then with the Housatonic. He was present as fleet captain under Admiral Dahlgren soe allthe operations against Morris Island, and was in battle with Forts Wagner and Sumter on board the monitor Catskill on the 10th of July, 1863, and again on board the Montauk on the 18th, Captain Taylor was in command of the Juniata during the engagements with Fort Fisher on the 24th and 25th of December, 1864, Since the war he has been detailed upon several important duties, and was at one time in command of the Pacific station. He pro- moted to the various grades as follows: Passed midshipman in 1834, lieutenant in 1840, commander in 1855. captain in 1866, rear ad- miral in 1871, and retired November 7, 1873. His last duty was in command of the South Atlantic station. BADLY SHAKEN UP. An Accident toa Fast Train, But NoOne Injured. When the 45.minute train on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, due here at 11 o'clock to- day, was near Ammendale, about 15 miles from this city, and running at the rate of about 2 mile @ minute, the passengers were suddenly jostled from their seats. There was a rumbling noise under the train and many of the passengers rushed for the doors intending to jump from the train, and hadasgingle person made a leap for life many others would no doubt have followed and some would probably have been killed, But there were persons on the train who did not apprehend any danger and consequently no one jumped ‘into c¢ternity. The noise was soon followed by large bolts from the engine striking against the cars, The passengers in the smoker were in imminent danger and they all crowded to the rear end of the car. Among Mr. R. B. Rusk, of the health ofiice, t just in time to escape being seriously injured, He had no sooner got off the seat than the flooring under it was broken through and pieces of broken timber were sent flying to the car roof. The air brakes, it was ‘stated, failed to work, but ‘the old-fashioned brakes were applied and they performed their duty in an excellent manner, ‘The train was soon stopped and no one was injured so far as could be learned, The fireman, fearing serious danger, turned the water on the fire and extinguished it before it could set fire toany of the company’s prop- erty. The accident, it was stated, was caused by the breaking of one of the wheels of the engine. The passengers remained until the next train'from Baltimore came along,when they were brought to the city, reaching here about noon. —_>___ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

HARRISON, MISS MURPHY, AND SECRETARIES BLAINE AND WINDOM—THET WILL TAKE A SHORT TRIP ON THE RIVER ON THE “HOLLY,” RETURNING THIS EVENING. President Harrison left the cares and burdens of his office behind him this morning and took the oft-delayed trip down the Potomac, and that he werit to-day has been the cause ot much thankfulness in the hearts of the unsatisfied place-hunters. Had he postponed his depart- ure until to-morrow he would have deprived many an anxious one of the privilege of per- sonally applying for recognition, but to-day was the day of all others when his absence would be least missed by ‘the madding crowd.” The fact that Monday is one of the two days in the week when the President eannot be ap- proached on business, save by cabinet officers, is sufficient explanation for the absence from the White House of the customary multitude of those who want “office” and want it immedi- ately. The base ball aggregation—the All- America and Chicago teams—was on hand ac- cording to agreement and was accorded a brief reception (an account of which will be found elsewhere in Tur Stan). Ex-Gov. Porter called and he too saw the President for a little while THE DEPARTURE. At 11 o'clock Albert Hawkins drove under the portico and loaded up the landau with the President, Mrs. Harrison, and Miss Murphy, of Paul, their guest. Then the team trotted briskly to the river front, where the light- pase t Pl Holly,” was in waiting. Not behind was another carriage in which were Secretaries Blaine and Windom. ‘The party embarked at about 11:20, andthe pretty craft with its precious freight steamed out into the channel and down stream. The plan was to tinue southward for two or three hours and then to return, arriving at the wharf, if pos- sible, by about 6 o'clock, BUT HE MISSES THE GAME TO-DAY. Those who know the President well say that he must have been disappointed at his ina- ability to attend the ball game this afternoon. Before he became President he was an enthusi- astic admirer of the game and used to attend quite frequently the league contests, He al- ways went when Indianapolis played Washing- ton, because then he was certain before- hand as to which wonld win, He was never disappointed. Secretary Halford, who will represent the administration at Cap- itol Park to-day, is not what might be termed # base-ball crank, and he will view the struggle without being possessed of any expert opinion as to the merits of the individuals or the teams, “If there is anything of which I know abso- lutely nothing it is base ball,” said he toa Star reporter ignorance of that great game is absolutely dense. My brother Jim is the base- ballist of the family. MR. RUSSELL HARRISON ON THE SANITARY CONDI- TION OF THE WHITE HOUSE. The report of the plumbers who examined into the sanitary condition of the White House may have convinced some people of the health- fulness of the mansion, but it did not change the opinion held by Mr. Russell H. . “The arrangements here,” said he to a Stan reporter this morning, “are far from good. I suppose that a good deal of the trouble may perhaps be traced to the fact that the place is a com- bination office and residence. Doors and windows are open practically all day, and the consequent drafts are most dangerous to those who live in the house, and are not pro- tected by street clothing, as are those who come here on business. The best test of the healthfulness of the place is to be found in the health of the inmates. None of our folks were sick in Indianapolis, but somebody is always ailing here. We have one decided source of annoyance prevalent here; one that can hardly — be eradicated until _ the cause is removed, I refer to those little red ants. Father is bothered by them very much. They crawl over his desk and multiply among his papers until they be- almost insufferable nuisances, They have origin, I have béen told, y nd if that theory is correct then the evil is beyond remedy in this building.” MRS. RUSSELL HARRISON LEAVES TO-MORROW for Virginia Beach, where she expects the sea breeze to work a decided change for the better in the health of her little one—Marthena, The doctor said that a change of air was absolutely co their DISSATISFIED WITH THE SIDENT. For some days past there have been rumors of a rapidly developing ill-feeling on the part of German-American republicans against the administration, A Svan reporter this morning met Dr. L. W. Habereom, who had charge of the German section of the campaign, and talked with him about the alleged troubles, “Is it true,” asked the reporter, ‘that the German republicans are dissatistied because ve so far been unrecognized by the ad- ministration?” “Well,” was the reply, “there is some truth init. The German republicans have seen ap- pointments of Irishmen and Scandinavians, and while they do not claim recognition as a nation- ality or element, they think that they furnish so large a contingent to the republican party that some of them ought to be found who are qualitied to hold office.” t they have no right to complain so far. For all the places in the diplomatic servic in the departments which have been filled there has not been a single German-Ame date in the fie Prominent German republi- cans who could surely have obtained some foreign mission would not even permit their names to be mentioned in connection with them, and declared they would not accept if tendered a place. What could the ad- ministration do under these circumstances? Nothing but what it has done. There is no ground for discontent under these cireum- stancee, andIam sure that those who have been grumbling will be entirely satisfied when they understand the situation. From what I have heard from creditable sources, the Ger- man republicans will be satisfied with their treatment at the hands of the —ad- ministration, because they will be fully recognized by appointments in the consular service and otherwise.” THERE WAS A WAITING MULTITUDE in the East room at 1 o'clock. Monday is one of the public reception days and quite a crowd of visitors dropped in to see the Chief Executive. They made them- selves at home and occupied all the chairs and safes in the room until they were in- formed that the president was far away on the surface of the semi-liquid and wholly opaque Potomac. They did not seem to think that the President had done the correct thing in leaving them in the lurch, but they swallowed their disappointment and went away, some of them promising to return again. Ex-Senator Palmer, the Minister to Spain, did not climb the stairs. He talked with Capt. Densmore about the real nice time he is going to have when he arrives in the land of the Castilian, tative Morrow was also anxious to President, and when he left the White House he went in the direction of the river. N. JOHN M. LANGSTON was another of the few prominent callers who arrived after the President's departure. “I have concluded taking the testimony for my contest.” said he to a STAR reporter, “and on that I rest my case. This seat in Congress is mine beyond a doubt, and it will be given me. T have been calumniated to e toa frightful extent in this mat- ter, but am still alive and no jless a republican ‘than I. always have been. I have been charged with opposing Ma- hone. That is not true. I recognized Mahone as chairman of the state executive committee, and have attended every convention culled by him. Every advance made to me by the democrats has been repelled. I was offered much, tempted frequently, to go into the north to traduce Mahone, but I would not go. Large sums, immense sums, of money were offered me if I would only do this, but I rejected them all. No one can attack my honesty a8 a man or a republican and prove his case. As to my seat in Congress I shall demand it, but my demand will not be based on the fact that God curled my hair, nor do I ise to be sat down on because he did so.

TWENTY-FOUR YEARS AGO. To-day the Anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Death. SOME OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES CONNECTED WITH HIS ASSASSINATION RECALLED BY MEN WHO WITNESSED THE OCCURRENCE AND WHO RE- MEMBER THE INCIDENTS. Twenty-four years ago last night Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in Ford's Theater, on 10th street, by John Wilkes Booth, and to-day is the annivereary of his death. The wild ex- citement that pervaded the city on the occa- sion is well remembered by persons in middle life, but a generation has sprung up since that time who know of the event only by y. The murderous plot was not confined alone to President Lincoln, but a desperate attempt was made upon the life of Secretary Seward, who lived in the house on Lafayette square, which is now being fitted up for Secretary Blaine’s occupancy, and it was intended that Vice-President Johnson, who was boarding at the Kirkwood house, then situated at the corner of 12th street and Pennsylvania avenue, on the site of the present Palais Royal, should also be a victim. Mr. Johnson's case the plan absolutely failed, but the injuries in- flicted upon Secretary Seward by Payne well- nigh proved fatal. “ Treached the theater,” said an old citizen to a Srar reporter this morning, ‘just as the wounded President was being taken from the theater to the house across the street, where he lay without evincing any signs of consciousness until his pulse ceased to beat on the following morning. ‘The crowd was great, but aspace for those bearing their precious burden was quickly made, and soon a company of soldiers came and ‘cleared the square from E to F streets, and no one was permitted to the cordon of seutries established without n pass | from the officer in command, All night the crowds stood both on F and on E streets, its composition constantly changing as some would go to their homes and others would arrive, hav- ing been roused from their beds by the start- the! intelligence that the President had been shot.” The assassin was known and the direction of his flight was soon ascertained, but there was a good deal of delay in arranging an organized ursuit, so he had some hours the start. Had @ and Herold, who was his companion in flight, been captured that night, both would have had short shrift and a speedy death. DOORKEEPER BUCKINGHAM'S MEMORY, “You were keeping door at the theater on that fatal night, were you not?” said a Stax reporter recently to Mr. John Buckingham, now the doorkecper at Albaugh’s, when the conversation had turned upon the tragedy,atter speaking of Edwin Booth's oath uever to play an Washington again, 1 was, indeed,” was the reply, “and I don’t ant ever to go through such an experience again, Booth came up to the door aud looked into the house two or three times during the evening, before he went upstairs to go around to the President's box. He made some pleas- the door and go into the adjoining saloon with him and take a drink, but I declined to do so. He had the run of the house and could,ofcourse, go where he pleased, Inever once thought of nis having any particular motive in his fre- quent visits to the door and glances about the house. It was late when the President arrived, and there had began to be that atter all the preparations that had been made, such as decorating the boxes, &., he would not put in an appearance. He did come, though, and I remember he had the same’ kindly ’ smile, though tinged with sadness, that I had always noticed when he came to the theater. I was not looking at the stage when the shot was fired, but the moment I heard the sound of the eed L turned into the house just in time tosee Booth jump from the box and rush back of the scenes, No one realized at first what had hap- pened, until there was one piercing shriek trom Mrs. Lincoln, and then the cry from some *, ‘He shot the President!’ told of the terri- crime that had been committed. Harry Hawk and Laura Keene were on the stage, for you remember it was ‘Our American Cousin’ that was being played, and they ap- peared perfectly paralyzed with terror, Billy Withers, who was leading the orchestra, and big Joe Stuart, were the first to get upon the stage and make arush for Booth, and the former had a slit or two cut in his coat by the kuife which Booth had in his hand. Neither of them could stop him, however, and he got away. You know all the rest. I bad a light overcoat that I had put under the rack where 1 kept my checks, and I forgot all about that until a mouth aiterward, when I found it just where I had left it. The Death Record.

The roperty, Which is now occupicd by the de- endant, and is quite valuable, was sold under a deed of trust in 1873 for something over 22 O'Brien, who can neither read nor write, claims that this deed of trust, purporting to have been executed by him ‘to secure payment of $130, isaforgery. Since the sale the matter has been before the courts in various law and equity Peoceraines and decided each time against "Brien. The taking of the evidence in the case was finished last Thursday, and Friday was consumed in legal arguments on the con- clusiveness of former judgments set up in bar to this action. O’Brien claims that he has never yet been heard on the merits of his cause, but defeated each time on technical rounds, The trial was resumed to-day. Moulton and Col. W. E. Rogers are conduct- the case for the plaintiff and Edwards and Barnard for the defendant, —— Knocked Senseless with a Brick. “The cracker box,” which is an old house in Louse alley southwest, is inhabited and fre- quented by a class of negroes that gives the officers of the fonrth precinct considerable trouble. It is the house where Policeman Mel- ton came near being killed in a tight only a few nights ago. Annie Wallace, a young colored woman, was the cause of a fight on 4'y street, near the alley, about 12 o'clock Naturday night, in which Richard Carroll was seriously and per- haps fatally injured by Robert Waters, alias Green. The men met the woman's house and there were several other men there. Green, who was intoxicated, was struck in the eye by some one. He was too drunk to realize what had happened, but later on, when he learned of the assault, he went to find th struck him. He questioned all the men who were in the room at the time, with the excep- tion of Carroll, and they each denied the charge. ‘Then Green went in search of Carroll and found him on 4}, street, near the alley. Green threw a brick at Carroll, which landed on his head, and he fell_to the cobblestones as though he was dead, When the police arrived upon the scene they found Carroll lying un- us ina pool of blood. The police am- balance was sent for and the injured man was removed to Freedman’s hospital. Yesterday Officer Turnburke arrested Green, who claimed that he had a right to hit Carroll, because the latter had struck him earlier in the evening. The case was coutinued in the Police Court to- day. The injured man was better this morning. Si a ind Tur Virorxta ALUMN1.—Mr. and Mrs. W. D.

Its Members Meet, but Have not Decided on Future Action. Gov. Geo, D. Robinson, of Massachusetts, Alfred M. Wilson, of Missouri and J. 0. Humphrey, of Illinois, the members of the newly appointed Cherokee commission, met to-day for the first time. They called on the Secretary of the Interior and consulted with other officials of the department relative to their duties. They have not yet determined whether they will proceed at once to the Indian territory. In fact they are uncertain as to the future. The commis- sion are authorized to negotiate with the Cher- okee and other Indians of the Indian territory relative to the cession to the government of the land in the Indian territory west of the 96th meridian. The land "belonging to the Cherokee Indians can be purchased once if the Indians are willing to accept $1.25 peracre. As to the land belonging to the other Indians, the terms made by the commis- sion with them must be ratified by Congress before the land can be made avail- able for settlement, The land belonging to the Cherokee Indians is what is known as the Cherokee strip, and contains 6,022,000 acres. The Oklahoma tract, in the center of the Indian territory, which will be- come open for settlement on the 22d inst., only contains 1,887,100 acres. VERY TIGHTLY CLOSED. The Investigation into the Charges Against the Asylum. Commissioner Wheatley to-day continued the examination of witnesses from the Washington asylum, There were two solid doors between the public and the investigation to-day. In the afternoon Mr. Stoutenburgh was there. Mr. Wheatley wens out and left Mr. Stoutenburgh to continue his testimony to the stenographer. ‘So far as a Stax reporter could learn, the ques- tions asked by the Commissioner and the gen- eral conditions under which they testify are not of a character to encourage them to tell any- thing they might know to the discredit of the Management of the asylum. Much of the testimony is directed to setting forth the reputation of Mr. McGuigan, who made the charges against the management of the asylum. Notwithstanding the unfavorable conditions for such testimony, several witnesses have given testimony tending to support Mc- Guigan’s charges —— the habits of the matron and allgations made concerning the quality of food supplied to officers and inmates. Other witnesses have ascribed to the manage- ment the highest virtues. So far as the Srar reporter could learn no testimony has been taken respecting the dis- position of old material. Although Mr. Stoutenburgh at first denied that any old material was sold except what was properly sold through the property clerk, the Commissioners have before them positive testimony respecting the sale of the barrels. Ex-Commissioner West —_ has come to the support of Mr. Stoutenburgh in this matter, and written a letter to the Com- missioners stating that when he was a Commis- sioner he was cognizant of and as- sented to sale of such trifling material as would not justify being for- mally returned to the District.” He says he knows hat from the funds so realized Mr. Stoutenburgh paid small gratuities in some in- stances to old inmates, and in one case creased the compensation of a driver by giving him an extra dollar a month. Tbe testimony hus not gone into the disposition cs other mate- rial than the barrels. —— DISTRICT GOVERNME: PAY OF THE ASSESSORS, The Commissioners have submitted to Con- troller Durham for interpretation the act regu- lating assessments. If the work done by the assessors is of such magnitude as to require them to work every day during the time fixed by law (Sundays and holidays included), will they not be entitled to pay for every day? is a question to be settled. missioners to~ y requests permission to cross jonetion of the turnpike and Woodley Lane road diagonally from the southeast to the north- west.

COLORED SCHOOL TEACHERS. Mr. James H. Smith, attorney for Charlotte has written to the Commissioners calling their attention to the tact that colored school teachers have been appointed who were not graduates of the Normal school, "He ques- tions the justice of this course, and states that his client, a graduate of the Normal school, should have precedence over outside persons, the matter has been referred to Superintend- | ent Cook, of the colored school. E OF LIQUOR IN ECKINGTON, “Relative to Mr, Truesdell’s request that per- mits for the erection of buildings for business urposes, and for sale of liquor in Eckington e refused.” the Commissioners reply that they : dvised by their attorney that persons who bring them: es within the law and build- ing regulations can compel the issuance of per- mits for erection of buildings there, except 60 far as you can restrain such action by the en- forcement of the covenants in your deeds, | With reference to the sale of liquor, the Com- missioners under the fifth section of this bill to regulate the issue of liquor licenses may refuse to issue such licenses in cases ‘where it shall appear to the Commissioners that the place applied for is in a neighborhood occupied largely by private residences, or where there are. in the opinion of the Commissioners, more | such places than the accommodation of the public warrants, and may reserve the right to jimit the number of saloons in any locality ‘and they and their successors will very prol bly exercise their authority in the premises in such a way that no prejudice to the interests of the locality will result.” A SUBDIVISION COMPLYING WITH LAW. The first plof of a subdivision to reach the ‘or for record under the new law is that t Brookland, on the Bunker Hill road near the Ivy City race track. It has had the approval of the District Commissioners and the lines for the streets and avenues were furnished by the engineer department. Two avenues run through the subdivision; one is Rhode Island avenue extended and the other is a new avenue to be called Montana avenue. At their intersection a circle is rovided which will be called Dahlgren circle. The streets are run north and south and east and west, in accordance with the general plan of the city, and are of a uniform width of W feet. Other subdivisions have been made and ap- Seer! as they comply with the regulations, ut have not been offered for record.

Trial of George Parker in the Crim- inal Court. In the Criminal Court, Judge Bradley, this morning, the trial of George Parker, colored, on the charge of housebreaking and the larceny of jewelry, valued at over @10,000, from the residence of Lieut. A.C. Tyler on March 19, was resumed—Mr. C. Bendheim for the prix oner and Assistant District-Attorney Lipscomb for the government. Detectives Raff and Horne testified to the arrest of Parker; to Waters being confronted with him, and that Parker acknowledged that be did the job and Waters bad nothing to de with it, The defendant called James Waters (who te charged with receiving the stolen goods) and he testified that Parker and a small black man called on him at the St. Cloud buil and said that they wanted to transact teeny Reon and they went in his bed-room, where after- ward he sawa quantity of jewelry; that the officers came to him and said that er had sent them for the box, and he took them to Uniontown and gave the box to them; that they took himto headquarters and then to the station, PARKER'S STORY. The defendant, Parker, took the stand and testified that he was twenty-four years olds that he was ata saloon at 20th and L streets, when a little man named Brown came in and called him out and asked him to take a walk, and they walked down to Waters’, the little man saying that he had something he wanted him to take care of for him; that they went to Waters’ bed-room and put the things on the bed, and he told Waters to take care of them till morning. He denied that the shoes be had on when arrested were the ones exhibited, and tried one on and kicked it off easily. - Witness at the station said: “You've got me now; prove it on me,” but he did not mean to say that he committed the robbery. On cross-examination witness at first declined tosay if he had been in the penitentiary, but finally admitted that he had been sent up for five years and got seventeen mouths off for good behavior. He denied that he told the Citizens’ committee that he had committed twenty-five burglaries. He denied that he was ao thief, and iusisted that he bad served but one term in jail for fighting and one in the ee. and then he stopped in New York till July 34 last, when he came home. Brown said he wanted him to put away stuff. He (witness) might be con- victed, but he had only been guilty of helping the man to put away the stuff. Witness wasn't saying this because for housebreaking be might get ten years and for receiving goods but three Years. Witness got out of the window the hight of hisarrest; thought that he was wanted for fighting and he didn't want to be locked up. There was no doubt but he was guilty of receiving the stolen goods. It was true that he attempted to Saturday, and ran four squares, and he would have run more ifhe had had achance. The reason he ran was because he had received word that his wife wasat the point of death and he wanted to see her. He acknowledged that he knew of a loose board in a floor at the Le Droit building where goods were placed. He denied that he knew anything of the job at Sen- ator Dawe 4 VERDICT OF GUILTY.
