Maxcussren, March 30.—The town Clitherce, Lancashire, twenty-cight miles north of here, is again the scene of disorder owing to the ex- cited state of popular fecling regarding the affairs of the Jackson family.

West against the people, the judgment of the court below is reversed and the case re- manded. The opinion is by the court and does not enter into the merits of West's guilt or innocence, but deals exclusively with the lower court's rulings and instructions. ‘The case grows out of a struggle for the por session of he Chicago Times. Several years ago Mr. West and Clinton A. Snowden, then owners of the Mail, scoured the e0-operation of the Huiskump Bros’. Company and other wealthy capitalists of Keokuk, Iowa, and bought the Zimes. West was afterward found to have largely over-issued stock. Criminal proceedings were at once instituted against him and the secre- tary of the company, Graham. West was found guilty. and sentenced to five years’ m- prisonment in the state prison, while Graiam was acquitted. An appeal was taken to the supreme court, which rendered its decision to- Je —— THE CROSBY OBSEQUIES. Private and Public Services to Be Held ‘Tomorrow.

A Stan reporter was informed by a watch- man at the White House grounds that he had admitted children who carried baskets of eggs only when # nurse or parent camo with them. He said: “Ihave had no trouble with those who came accompanied in this way, because I asked them not to go on the hills on account of the soft condition of the earth. I have turned 500 or 600 children away because no one came to watch them and I thought it would not be well to let them go in with their eggs. The temptation togo on the hills and roll their ‘eggs would be too great.” NEXT SATURDAY THE CHILDREX'S DAY. ‘The suggestion made by Tuz Star last Sat- urday that the children of Washington bo allowed the privilege of the White House nds for their egg-rolling next Saturday, inasmuch as the grounds are too wet today for that purpose, was laid before the President this afternoon by Col. Ernst, the superintendent of public buildings ‘and grounds. The President thought that it was a good idea = he accordingly ted that it be carried ut o Hence, if there be not too much rain in the meantime, the grounds will be opened to the little ones next Saturday, and from 2 o'clock until 4 the Ti lery Band will givea concert.

If ever was any condition of affairs that looked like a contest that condition has fizzled out. Men who have anything else to do dropped the matter long ago and it will stay dropped.” NO TRUTH IN THE STORY. ‘What Secretary Foster Says About the Rumored KNemoval of New York Customs Oftcers. Secretary Foster's attention was called this morning to the newspaper rumor that the re- moval of Collector Erhardt and Appraiser Cooper of New York had been do- into the management of the custom house and appraisers office, which is now in p Secretary Foster said the report was news to him; that no such determination had been arrived at, for tho sufficient reason that ho given the subject no consideration. It would be fully s month before the investigation would close and it would then be time to take action, if any were necessary, whon all the results of the investigation were before him. If the results as found by tho commission warranted summary action he hoped to be able to take it in the interest of improved business methods. He added that there was a class of importers who thought that they were treated as suspicious to relieve them of int Seoretaries Nettle- personages and he ho their annoyance. Assi ton and Spaulding know nothing of the rumored removols and Solicitor Hepburn, the chairman of the commission investigating the two offices, was much amused that the commission should be so considerately relieved from the task of making findings by the newspapers.

THE IMPENDING PRINTERS’ STRIKE A Meeting of the Typographical Union to Be Meld Tonight. ‘The employing job printers and their em- ployes are alike waiting for a move in the situa- tion which was described exclusively in Taz Star of Saturday.

A special meeting of the union has been called for this evening to consider the matter but no one could attempt to prophesy what may or may not be done. A fow cf the union members are of opinion that the union will avoid a strike by postponing the time when the new scale shall go into operation. The employers seem to feelas though they bad a grievance. They say they were not consulted in the matter and cae Ne that such neglect worked them injustice and promissory disturbance. One or two of them intimate that had consultation been held a compromise might have been arrived at which would have beon mutually satisfactory. pee LIEUT. BOTELER'S TRIAL. It Will Probably Commence Tomorrow ‘Morning at Headquarters. Tho trial of Lieut. Boteler, whicli was to have taken place at police headquarters this after- noon, was postponed until tomorrow. At | bee the former trial the lieutenant was charged with being intoxicated on the 2th of February, but according to the recom- eet | mendations of the trial board aud the chief of police the evidence did not warrant the bring- xed. | ing of the charges. ‘The recommendation was forwarded to the Commissioners, but instead of approving them they ordered another trial on o similar charge, Ex-Policeman Hatton's Case Submitted.

WITNESSES TESTIFI AS TO HAVING HEARD EIN @4Y MR WOULD KILL KINCAID—TRE LATTER S4ID TO BB A PEACRABLE AMD BONORABLE max. ‘Thore was the usual large crowd in attend- ance at the Kincaid trial today. Besides the g = isdies sccompanying Kincaid two appeared today accompanying Dr. Taulbee and young Taulbee, the son of the deceased men. It was the defense. Judge Bradley decided at the outset in favor of the ‘mony should be ad- mitted as to threats made by Taulbee, ad- mitting testimony as to threats made and not ATTORNEY CLAGETTs ocomunicated to Kin- nid, as well as testimony as to threats com- municated to Kinoaid. He also permitted testi- mony as to statements made to Kineaid about genoral reports as to Taulbee's intentions con- cerning him. Daring the day's testimony there was refer- ence to the publications that gave rise to the trouble between Kincaid and Taulbee. The first publication was made in a paper in this city, and referred to a scandal- ous occurrence alleged to have taken place in the model room of the patent office in which Kentucky Congressman and a fomale clork figured. Kincaid subsequently published an account of the affair in the Louis- ville paper of which he was the correspondent, using Taulbee's name in connection with it. JUDGB BRADLEY DECIDES TESTIMONY 48 TO THREATS ADMISSIBLE. Judge Bradley at once announced his decision of the quostions argued Saturday as to the ad- mission of testimony offered to show prior threats by Taulbeo communicated to Kincaid. At the sane time the proposition, was argued as to the admission of testimony regarding threats made by Taulbee and not communicated to | the Kincaid. As to the firat proposition testimony asto threats known by the prisoner, all the authorities seemed to be in the direction of ad- mitting such testimony. Thero could be no question as to the right of the defendant to such evidence. In this connection Judge Brad- ley quoted from the dissenting opinion of Jus- tice Clifford in the case of Wiggins against the United States to the effect that the tendency of the courts was to oxclude evidence as to threats made by the deceased and not commu- nicated to the defendant, unless there was evi- dence tending to inculpate the deceased as the aggressive party. read also from Justice Clifford tho state- ment that jurists and textwriters seemed to agree that testimony as to threats was not ad- missible unless it were shown that at the time of the assault the defendant had strong reason to believe that the deceased was about to exe- cute the threats. In the case of Wiggins then under consideration there appeared to have been slight evidence to show that the deceased had been the aggressor at the time of the ae- sault. After quoting from the opinion of Jus- tice Miller in the, Wiggins case, Judge Bradley commented on the impropriety of the court's puasing upon the effet of the evidence already ven, ort appeared to him that the court hed no right to pass upon the effect of evidence al- ready in, and that under this decision in the Wiggins’ caso the testimony as to throats un- coinmunicated was clearly admissible. ‘MR. W. E. CURTIS’ TESTIMONY. Mr. W. E. Curtis, the newspaper correspond- ent and director of the bureau of American republics, was then called to the stand. He was asked if ho had had a conversation with Kineaid in relation to Taulbee. ‘The witness said he had a brief conversation with Kincaid in regard to his relations with Taulbee two or three weeks before the shoot- ing. The conversation occurred ut the corner of 14th and F streets. ‘The witness was aware for some months of Mr. Taulbee's feeling. The district attorney objected that the wit- ness should state what Taulbee had said. ‘Mr. Wilson urged that if the air was full of the reports as to Taulbee's attitude toward Kin- caid and Mr. Curtis communicated the reports to Mr. Kincaid the evidence was admissible. Judge Bradley said he thought the founda- tion of the whole inquiry should be as to whether Taulbee made threats, and, if so, what they were. It might then’ be ’ immaterial whether the threate wore communicated. Mr. Curtis was then asked by Mr. Wilson whether he had heard of threats having been made by Taulbee, but not from Taulbee in son. PevTe, Cole objected, and the objection was sus- tained by Judge Bradloy, who said he did not think such evidence admissible at this stage of Ne Wilson noted xception, and Mr. Mr. Wilson noted an e : Curtis was excused from the stand for the ime. A. J. KELLY HAD HEARD TAULBEE MAKE THREATS. Albert J. Kelly of Terro Haute, Ind., was next called. He said he was intimate with Taulbee. He had heard Taulbee make threats against Kincaid shortly after a publication ap- peared in one of the Washington papers. ‘Mr. Wilson asked the witness not to state what the publication was, but to state any ill- feeling that arose between Taulbee and Kincaid following this publication. Objection to this question was made and sustained and exception was noted. He heard Taulbee make threats several times after that. The witness said ho left the city in February, 1889, and it was not a great whilo before that that he last heard Taul- make threats. ‘THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OBJECTS. The district attorney objected to the testi- ‘mony, as the time was too remote. Gen. Grosvenor insisted that the author- ities held that the time of the threat did not affect the question of the admissibility of the testimony: it, affected only the quality of ‘the testimony, which could be discussed in argu- ment. ‘Mr. Cole said if a man made threats years or months before and made no attempt to carry thom out he did not think the evidence admis- sible. ‘The threats must be recent. Mr. Wilson said it was the purpose of the defense to show that the threats were continu- ous and to bring the testimony down toa re- oP Colo suggested that it would be best to show the recent threats first. Mr. Wilson said that they could not kee their witnesses in the court room. They gent for Mr. erry Heath to economize time they had offered Mr. Kelly's testimony Gen.

The matter was arranged and Taulbeo was paid by wore diticulty that led resigning, ‘ * led to ” said Mr Cole, “one thet you bed takens ee- writer from’ the Interior Departument “and pawned it for money.” are is This ended the cross-examination. “You may tell all about that matter,” said Tudge Wilson, referring to the typewrice®. “Tt is a matter that is not very pleasant to go Into, your honor,” said the wituens. ‘I don't know that we care for the details,” said the district attorney. “And I don't, either,” said Mr. Wilson, “so witness may stand aide.” MR. PEARY 8. NEATH, Mr. Perry Heath, the newspuper correspond- ont, was next called to the siand. About weok or ten days before the shooting he was sitting in the reporters’ gallery. Dehind wit- ness ttood Taulbee and ‘some ono cise. "He thought the other person was Doorkeoper Mann. While ‘witness was writing “laubocs voice became very loud and distiuct, and he on crose-exami- heard him eay that Kincaid was responsible for all these newspaper publications about him; that he did not believe the newspaper men generally were nnfrieudly to him; that there Was a limit to bis endurance and that if there were any more publications about him he pro- posed to cut Kincaid’sd—d throat, The con- yersation went on, and in bis remarks Taulbee used the word “kill” two or three times in connection with Kincaid. Two or three days afterward witness met Kincaid and told him what Taulbee had said. -The wituess said that Mr. Kincaid’s reputa- tion was that of a peaceable, docile man. In reply to the court he said when he spoke to Kincaid he communicated to him the quali- fying remark that if the publications continued he would cut Kincaid’s throat. This qualifica~ tion, the witness said, applied to the throat- cutting and not to ‘the subsequent remarks 2X-REPRESENTATIVE LAFFOOR. Ex-Representative Polk Laffoon of Kentucky, now living in Sheffield, Ala., was next called to the stand.

The witness said after these publications Taulbee talked to witness frequently about them. Taulbve said constantly that he thought ho ought to kill him. Witness was persusding him ail the time not to do it. TAULBEE SAID HE WOULD KILL KINCAID. He always said that Charlie Kidcaid had ruined his reputatiin and family, and asked witness, “Don’t you think I ought to kill him?” The witness said Taulbee stated he would kill Kincaid, and witness was persuading him not to do it _ Mr. Wilson asked if the original publication in the papers of this city was not general, using no names. The district attorney objected that the best testimony was the article iteelf. ‘The question was withdrawn. On cross-examination the witness said his conversations with Taulbee occurred during the Fiftieth Congress, which ended in March, 1889. He had seen Taulbee when here on busi- ness about six weeks before the shooting, and they had a conversation to the same effect. REPRESENTATIVE PAYNTER. Representative Paynter of Kentucky was next called. He said some time in the winter be- fore the shooting, he could not fix the time exactly, one morning Mr. Kincaid was stand- ing on the floor of the House near the ker's desk. Taulbee, who was to witnecs, re- ferred to Kincaid and said Kincaid knew better than to come within ten feet of him; if he did ‘that he would kick his head off. Taulbee, the witness said, was a man six feet two inches tall and weighed 170 or 175 pounds. Witness ‘thought he was rather a strong man. ‘MM.

Grosvenor without having opport: to consult authorities. While the evic would be hearsay as to the facts of the threat it might be competent as indicating the quo animo of the defendant. He would. therefore, ‘admit the testimony of Mr. Shaw and Mr. Curtis on that point. Mr. Shaw was called to the stand. He suid that after the publications referred to he bad told Kincaid that he heard from various sources, including Serator Blackburn, that Taulbee in- tended to infiet bodily harm on him (Kincaid) and witness advised him to kee} This was shortly after the publi- cation of Kincaid’s dispatch. He thought it was about a year before the shooting. in the carly part of tho Fiftieth which met in December, 1887. EMANUEL 4. somwarz. Emanoel A. Schwarz, a clerk in the census office, testified that he saw Kincaid and Taul- bee in a corridor at the Capitol during the Fiftieth Congreos. The witnene was atked what Taulbee did then, and objection was mace. Mr. Wilson said he proposed to prove that Teulbee then assaulted Kincaid and threw him ‘across the corridor, and that Kincaid made no revistance. The prosecution objected to this as too re- mote and immaterial a ir. Wilson said that they proposed to follow up this testimony by showing repeated am saults. He thought it material to show that Kincaid was in dunger of bodily barm. _ The judgo thought the testimony might shed light on the character of the threats, showing that Taulbee did not mean murder. Witness could not state when the occur- Fence was except that it was some time during the Fiftieth Congress. Judge Bradley ruled out the testimony as being too remote to have any bearing on the animus of the defendant at the time of the shooting. An exception was noted. REPRESENTATIVE M'CREARY. Representative McCreary of Kentucky was next called. He said Mr. Taulbee came from the mountain district of Kentucky. Tanlbee Was over six fect tall, active and muscular. Witness had known Kincaid for fifteen or twenty years. Kincaid was born and lived in the dis- trict that witness represented. Witness ap- pointed Kincaid jadge of a couxty court when ‘Witness was governor of the state. Kincaid’s general reputation in Kentucky and was that of a peaceablo, honorable and polite gentleman. At the time and prior to the shooting Kincaid was fecble, emaciated and sallow. Witness saw Kincaid nearly every day. Witness remembered that Kincaid called him out from the floor of the House on the day of the «hooting. Witness knew Mr. Walton, who had been a lawyer in witness’ district and held a position in the Treasury Department during Cleveland's administration. Witness had an interview with Walton about 12:30 or 1 o'clock on the day of the shooting and left Walton in the room of the committee on foreign affairs. Walton was now ‘WHAT MR. CURTIS HAD HEARD. Mr. Curtis having returned to the court room he said he had heard from many people the threats made against Kincaid by Taulbee and communicated them to Taulbee. He spoke to Kincaid about ton day or two weeks before the shooting at the corner of 14th and F streets; witness told Kincaid that Taulbee was after him and warned him to look out for him; witness bad heard such threats ever since the time of the publications. Witness said Kincaid aj ared much agitated when witness told fim of the threats of Taulbec: that be fiushed and then turned pale; that he trembled and then took witness’ arm. Mr. Wilson asked to know what Kincaid said, but the question was ruled out, exception being MR. A. B. BRADLEY. Mr. A.B. Bradley of Friendship, N. ¥., was the next witness. He was asked if he knew Mr. Stillman, who testified for the defense on Saturday. He said that he bad known Mr. Stillman for some thirty years. Witness was asked if Mr. Stillman had talked with him about the shooting of Taulbee. Mr. Cole objected to the question, and the court sustained the objection. Judge Wilson st to state what he ex- to prove by the witness, but the court ierrepeea him, stating that be could not bolster up his own witness by testimony as to stated con- occurrence at or about the time of his character and as to what he bad itehappent ing. A moment there was a courteous con- tention between Judge Wilson and the court. which ended in the court permitting Judge Wilson to cite authority in support of his claim that the testimony was competent. He cited a decision of the Supreme Court of Connecticut, in which it Repliep tne’ when ‘8 witness was a stranger, his ter for truthfulness could be proven, even if it had not been asnailed. Other authorities wore quoted by Judge Wil- son and Grosvenor in of the right ‘to Stillman's good character. Ohio state reports, acase in which Mr. Gros- venor himself was engaged; and “Greenleaf” rere cited as sustaining the position of the de- rense. The court held that the defense had not made this offer to sustain by ample authority this right to prove Stillman's good character, He, therefore, sustained the objection, and the testimony was excluded. ‘MR.
