Lenman, Thompson and Hamilton) met this morning at the court house to hear evidence as to the value of property in square 828 (11th, 12th, C and D streets northwest.) The first witness was Mr. L. Emmert, car- penter, who testified that the buildings on the Gentner property, parcels 28 to30 and4 on 11th street front, were worth $15,000, $7,000 and $4,000. They were built in 1876. Rufus C. Brook, plumber and gasfitter, testi- fied that the four lamp posts in front of the Globe Theater were worth $25 each. Samuel Beiber testified that he was engaged in the real estate business. He regarded the north front of the square as worth $20 to $25 for the 11th street corner, $18 to $20 for 12th street and intervening lots, 12th and C streets $8 to $12 and other lots on C street $7 to $8 and lth strest @8 to 812.0. ¥ STREET AND AVENUE PROPERTY COMPARED. ‘On cross-examination Mr. Beiber said prop- erty in this section was worth 25 to 60 per cent moro than 1889. He bought property four Feat# 280 for $7,000 which he refused $21,000 for, He would give $20 per foot for the Hur- ford corner. At present F street property from 9th to 15th is worth double avenue property. Gen. Strong has bought one piece for $60 per foot and will make 8 to9 per cent. Property on the north side of the avenue is worth about $7.50 per foot more than on the south side. Redirect: Would give $20 per foot for Dow- ling’s corner and $1,000 as bonus. ‘The prop- erty at the corner of 12th and C streets was worth from $10 to $15 per foot independent of. improvements. . G.

All the Witnesses for the Prosecution Give ‘Their Testimony. ANGUMENT AS TO THE PRELIMINARY PROOF YOR ‘THE INTRODUCTION OF TAULBEE'S DYING STATE~ ‘MENT—JUDGR BRADLEY DECIDES THAT THE JURY OUGHT To HEAR IT. When Judge Bradley's court met this morn- ing lawyers, prisoner and jury were all resdy to go on with the trial of Chas. E. Kincaid, in- @icted for the murder of William P. Tsulbee, ‘and the business of the court opened promptly. young man with blonde hair brushed up pom- padour style, was the first witness called by the government. He said he was at the Capitol on the day of the shooting and when the shot was fired was in the lower corridor about thirty or forty steps from the foot of the stairway and was walking away from it. He heard «shot toward thestairs. He saw T-ulbee come down the stairs acro. the hall, holding his hands to bis head. Some one asked, “Who “He assaulted me this morning,” said REUBEN A. M'CORMICK. Reuben A. McCormick of Cadiz, Ohio, who ‘was employed as a messenger under the House of Representatives at the time of the shooting, was next examined. He was stationed at the east door of the House in the upper corridor near the stairway. He said he saw both Taul- bee and Kincaid at the door on that day. Wit- ness was standing at the north side of the door. Mr, Kincaid passed in and stopped at what is calied the main solid door, inside the vestibule, One of the doorkeepers had gone in to cali out, & member for Kincaid. Taulbeecame out from the floor of the House while Kincaid was wait- ing there. Taulbee stopped right in front of Kincaid. Taubee said, “I want to see you.” Kincaid said, ‘I don't want to see you.” “I want to see you,” repeated Taulbee, “Well, you see me now,” said Kincaid. “Yeu, t see you,” said Taulbee. ‘Thereupon’ Taulbee took hold of the lappel of Kincaid's coat and gave it » slight pull. “Come out here,” he said, “I want to talk to ou.” “I dow't wait to talk to you,” said Kincaid, “YOU ARE A L1aR.” “You are a liar,” said Taulbee. Just then a page came running out of the House and said that there wasacall of the House; the doorkeepers were about to close the doors. Taulbee claimed that he had a right to the floor and went back into the House. Kincaid went out into the corridor. That was about twenty minutes st or half-past 12. He saw Kincaid again about an hour and a quarter afterward. Kincaid came to the east door again. Witness was standing in the same place at the door. Kincaid said to witness, “I want to speak to you.” Then he said, “You saw this trouble between Tiulbee and me.” Witness said, ‘Yes. “Well,” said Kincaid, “what would you ad- vise me to do?” Witness told him that he could not give him any advice. “Tam not able to cope with such a man as Taulbee,” said Kincaid. ‘I have been sick and weak. Iam notable to cope with him. More- over I was not armed, I had not even my cane.” ‘Witness noticed that at that time he had his cane. Kincaid then left witness and started northward toward the stairway. Witness saw him make the turn around the corner at the head or entrance to the stairway and out of witness’ sight. Just afterward witness heard the report of the revolver and ran down the stairway. HIS VIEW OF THE PARTIES. Witness hesitated a few seconds at his door before going to the stairs. He did not notice any one on the stair. At the foot of the stair- way he saw Mr. Taulbee. Taulbee was almost epponte the foot of the stairway. Taulbee was close to the wall, walking along in a stoopin; position with his hand over his eyes. Kincai was south of Tanlbee, about eight or ten feet away, and facing toward Taulbee. No one had hold of Kincaid at that moment. Witness did Some one came e to the east door of the House, just before the shooting, he could not have been there more thaa a minute or two. CROSS-EXAMINED BY MB. SMITH. Mr. McCormick was cross-examined by Mr. ©. Maurice Smith. The witness said he had re- peated what he had heard and remembered of Kincaid’s statements. There might have been other things said. He did not see Mr. Taulbee's hand reach Mr. Kincaid’s ear during the con- versation in the doorway at the east sido of the House.

He did not hear Kincaid tell Taulbee that he (Kincaid) was unable to cope with him. He did not hear Taulbeo say, “Go and arm yot self.” Ho heard Taulbee say, “You are a lia He did not hear him call him's “dirty” liar. He did not hear him call Kincaid a “monkey” or & d—4 little coward” and tell him to go and arm himeelf. Mr. Smith questioned Mr. Me- Cormick about a conversation he had with Mr. Clifford Rose, a newspaper man, about an hour after the occurrence. He did ‘not remember the conversation. He did not say that he did not hear what passed between Taulbee and Kincaid at the door as it was spoken in an un- dertone. On re-direct examination the witness said that Taulbee took hold of Kincaid’s cout before he called him a liar. DR. JOHN B. HAMILTON. Dr. John B. Hamilton, surgeon general of the marine hospital service, was next exam- ined. He testified that he was called in con- sultation by Dr. Bayne after the shooting of Taulbee. He thought it was the second day after the shooting. Taulbee was then at the Providence Hospital.

Kincaid on the day of the shooting came up and spoke to the witness at the door. When he first saw Taulbeo that day he was coming out of the House of Representatives.

When the court met at 1 o'clock Dr. John W. Bayne was among those sitting within the bar. He was called at once to the stand by Mr. Cole, the district attorney. Mr. Cole asked the wit- ness what Mr. Taulbee’s condition was on the ‘7th and 8th days of March after the shooting. There was some discussion as to the admission of the testimony, and Mr. Cole read tho rules governing the admission of dying declarations, ‘The witness said the Prospect of ‘Mr. Taulbee’s recovery on the 7th and 8th days of March was very remote. He had not prior to that time, so far as he could recollect, any conversation with Taulbee as to the prospects of recovery. He had bad conversations with Taulbee about his condition. After the 6tb, When aphasia appeared, indicating brain trou- ble, the witness had little hope of his recovery. Taulbee was under the impression during all his illness that he had received a mortal wound. This impression did not continue at all times. ‘There were times when Taulbee had and the witness had hopes of recovery. ‘The witness, however, had no hopes of recovery after the 6th of March. Objection was made to admitting the witness’ inion, but the objection was overruled and c testimony admitted. An exception was note ‘The witness, continuing, said that he did not communicate to Taulbee his opinion of his case After the 6th. Several times between the 6t and the 8th Taulbee communicated to witness his (Taulbee's) opinion. Witness could not remember Taulbee's exact words, and the testi- mony was not admitted. He remembered on the 8th that Dr. Taulbee and Mr. Taulbee's son were present. There was @ conversation in the presence of Taulbee about a statement Tanlbee had made and the witness heard to Taulbee. was capab of understanding what was being CROSS-EXAMINED BY MR. WILSON. Dr. Bayne was cross-examined by Mr. Wilson. He described the aphasia which afflicted Taul- bee after the 6th. Taulbee knew his son, but would call him by the wrong name. He knew witness, and it was manifest that,he knew him, but would call him also by the wrong name. In cases of apHasia tho doctor sxid a man would use in the middle of a sentence a wrong or irrelevant word. The aphasia was a symptom of a disturbed condition of the brain. brain had undergone certain changes; inflammation had set in. HOW TAULBEE’S MEMORY WAS AFFECTED. ‘The aphasia, the witness continued, was the result of the injury to the brain, the inflamma- tion of the membranes. Witness first noticed ponte er tom on the 6th of March. It in- er ‘ter that, but not very rapidly. On the i, the 8th he was capable of conversing intelligibly, but would miscall names. He could understand what was said to him. He was present while Taulbes was giving a statement of the occurrence. Taulbee’s brother was reading over a state- ment that bad been made at some previous time and Taulbee was making corrections in it as it had been written by his brother. Witness hhd heard that others had been ther» to take Taulbee’s statement. He remembered seeing the assistant district at- torney, Mr. Armes, there. He thought this e 9th or 10th. Taulbee got into the con- dition of coma on the evening of the 10th. On redirect examination witness was asked whether the aphasia affected Taulbee's memory. The witness said there were times when his mind was so affected that he would not have been 4 of giving an intelligible account of it. There were times, lucid inter- vals, when bis mind was perfectly clear. On the morning the statemen* was read Taul- read to him. bee certainly had a clear recollection of what had occurred and could understand perfectly what was said. When Mr. Armes called the pa- tient was in an excited condition and witness did not think it well at that time to disturb him. It was at witness’ suggestion {probably that Mr. Armes concluded to wait until a more favorable moment. On a recross-examination the witness said he did not hear Taulbee express any hope of re- covery after the 8th of March. DR. JACKSON B. TAULDEE. Dr. Jackson B. Taulbee of Mount Sterling, Ky., was next called to the stand. Dr. Taulbee, who is about thirty, was a brother of ex-Representative Taulbeo, and re- sembles him somewhat. He testified that he first saw his brother at Providence Hospital on the evening of the first day after the shootil and remained with him constantly then un’ hisdeath. The statement referred to was taken by witness on the m of the 8th of March, about 8 or 9 o'clock. brother was then very weak. ‘There was no prospect of recovery. Prior to the time the state- ment was made witness had conversa- i his brother as to the prospects case. An objection to this testimon: was made and overruled. Witness said he an his brother had frequently conversed about the ARBITRATION WITH SWITZERLAND. What is Said Upon the Subject at the State ‘Department. ‘ Tt is learned at the Department of State that there have been no negotiations with Switzer- land for several years directly upon the subject of an arbitration treaty between that country and the United States. About eight years ago such treaty was under consideration and the negotiations proceeded so far that the treaty was ratified by the Swiss government It is the practice in that country to submit the draft of a tresty to the legislative branch of the government before it can be defi- nitely proposed to the other party to the tresty, which amounts to rati- fication in advance of negotiation.

Tt is r st the partment of State that if any action has been recently taken by the Swiss government upon the subject, as reported in the press patches, it was probably the submission by the president of Switzerland of a copy of this Pan- American treaty to the legislature with a reo- ommendation that Switzerland signify her ad- erence to ite provisions, in response to the in- vitation extended to European nations by the late international American conference. leap TWENTY-FOUR PRISONERS, Those Who Appeared Before Judge Miller in the Police Court Today, “Good morning, judge,” said an elderly man in the Police Court this morning to Bailiff Hooe. “I have heard of you many times, but this is the first time I have ever had the pleas- are of meeting you.” “But Iam not Judge Miller,” said the em- barrassed bailiff. “I only wish 1 was.” The stranger, who proved to be Judge Phillips, was ushered into the judgejs private room, where he was introduced to Judge Miller. Soon afterwards Judges Miller and Kimball took their seats on the bench, the former to deal out justice and the latter to see how it is done. ‘There were twenty-four prisoners in the dock and it wasa good-natured crowd.

The boy cried, but his tears did not affect the sentence.
