To the Editor of The Evening Star: Wasurxorox, D. C., April 1, 1891. Sir: In your issue of March 31 you publish an interview with Mr. Kennedy, president of Columvia Union, No. 101, which is so full of misrepresentations that we feel it due to the public that its false statements should be re- futed. Our purpose has been to keep out of all controversy—to meet the “stand and de- x” scheme of the union with a quiet but pos- itive refusal to turn our cash drawer and the office over to the men that work for us, whether the demand arises from among themselves or is dictated by the union. Every printer knows that Mr. Kennedy is only talking buncombe when he compares the skilled printer with the hod carrier. ‘The one can work in comfort in all weather, the other is subject to all the changes of the seasons and the weather—for instance, howmany days have the hod carriers worked ‘this spring? ‘The printers have had workevery day, and if they’ have attendod to their business ‘have had the opportunity to make more money since last November than the hod carrier can make in a year. ‘As to Mr. Kennedy's $10 a week as the aver- age made in book and job offices, a few figures plainly stated from our books will refute the assertion better than argument. Here they are: Number of hands paid by the week, employed permanently the yeer around, three at #25, at £22.50, four at $20, three at $1! eleven; average. £21.05 ‘per week. The num- ber of ‘piece hands varies from forty to fifty, who are paid 40 cents per 1,000 ems and get alithe fat that occurs inthe work on which they are engaged—not a line of copy is culled, every short page of table is counted asa full page and every piece of matter sthat can be saved is given out tothe men. The firm were journeymen and they do to those who work for them exactly what they would have liked to have done to them when at case ‘The average shown here for a few weeks taken at random from our wages book can be sworn to if neces- sary: One weck—Thirty-five hands average $14.95. One week—Thirty-six hands average $17. One week—Forty-six hands average £16. One woek—Thirty-cight hands average $17.1 And there was notan hour of overtime, or night work, as the new scale calls it, in either of the weeks. ‘The men are supposed to work ten hours a day, except on Saturday, when they are given one hour and a half, we say given, as the scale never called for it. When Mr. Kennedy talks about the bad at- mosphere of printing offices he is drawing on his imagination as to its evil effects on the workmen. They live to good old age. There are men at case today between sixt seventy who doas much if not more work than the pres- ent young crew. Mr. Kennedy is anxious to put more men to that is, he wants a refuge for the un- fortunates that every change of administration dumps on the streét ont of the government printing office, and that is all there is to it—he would tuke the bread out of the mouths of our city workmen and give it tomen who do not belong to this jurisdiction—a sort of political journeymen who depend on influence, not on merit. It is a certain fact that no employer desires to run his force after hours—it does not pay; but the union’s idea of charging 10 cents an hour after 5 o'clock would cause # loss of work that it would be hard to estimate. Fancy a customer with a brief to be used the next day coming to an office at 4:30 p. m., and being told that he must pay ten or twenty men 10 cents an hour for night work. “Why,” he would reply, ‘‘the sun does not set for two or three hours—how can it be night!” And we would like to see Mr. Kennedy explain it away. Mr. K. says the employers have been talked with—havo had the sale six weeks to consider. ‘Vhe scale arrived on March 4—not » month et—and no officer, chairman, or journeyman ever so much ag ‘an opinion on the question! Mr. K. had better get acquainted with the facts. As to cost, Mr. K. says it would not cost $10. week to pay the difference. Well, are the figures on that: Weekly hands, one-tenth of their time tobe cut off their wages, $231.50 a Merk, one-tenth off, $25.15 vers composition weekly, abou ems—2,000 thousand—at E ny let alone a printer, that will say that this oF any other firm can submit to such a strain and live? Very respectfully, THE DEATH RATE. It Was Larger Last Week Than Usual— Some of the Causes. Last week there were 125 deaths reported in this city, which is much larger than the aver- age weekly death rate. The large number, however, 60 the health officials say, has no sig- nificance. It does not follow that the city is any moro unhealthy because there were #0 many deaths, for among the decedents were an unusually large number of old persons, there being twenty-six who were more than sixty years old. There were twenty deaths from pneumonia, which is much larger than the averuge for that disease and that is attributed to the noglect of persons who were taken with a col ‘There was not a single case in which the grip a asthe cause of death. Ten deaths resulted from kidney troubles, and that is also largely in excess of the average death rate.

The Defendant Goes Upon the Stand in His TELLS THE STORY OF TAULBER'S PERSISTENT ASSAULTS—HE WAS IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE, AND WHEN HE FIRED HE BELIEVED IT WAS TAULBEE'S LIFE OR HIBS OWN. The Kincaid trial was delayed for » quarter of an hour or more this morning on account of the failure of a skull to arrive. The defense a to put in some medical testimony and wanted to use a skull belonging to Dr. Ham- \\ ilton, which was ex- \\\ nibitea” in court when \\\ the nature of Twulbee's AY ‘wound was described to MSthe jury. Finally p- pearance of being JERE M. WHt80x. veritable skull was used instead. This substitute had a label with the number 990 pasted on the middle of its fore- head. Dr. Johnson was called to the stand and ex- amiued by Mr. Wilson. He said he was present at the sutopey. Taulbee, he said, was over six feet in height, not fleshy, but muscular. Tak- ing up the skull the doctor indicated the space over which the powder burns on Taulbee's face and forchead extended. He then described the wound. He opened the skull. the top boing hinged ‘on conveniently, and walking down before the jury pointed out ‘here the ball hud lodged. Ain absese, he said, had formed in the brain beyond and above the ullet. ‘The abscess was about the size of a small ¢} of ahen. The abscess was filled with unhealthy pus. The condition of the brain was otherwise comparatively healthy, the membranes at the base of the brain being thickened and showing the result of inflammation. Pockets or cavi- ties in the brain were filled with an excessive amount of fluid. ‘Mr. Wilson asked the witness what the effect of this accumulation of fluid on the brain was ental power. The district attorney objected, that this tes- timony was immaterial TAULBEE'S MENTAL CONDITION. Mr. Wilson said he proposed to prove by this witness and others that at the time Taul- bee was said to have made a dying declaration he was in no mental condition to make such @ statement. Mr. Cole said that they could not show that by the result of an autopsy. ‘The court suggested that Dr. Johnson had not been examined to show that he was qualified to speak as an expert. He did not claim to have specialty of brain diseases. He was en- gaged in general practice. ‘The court was of opinion that unless the witness had made a special study of the effect of such septic troubles of the brain on one’s mental faculties he was not qualified to testify as an expert. The witness said that his observation had given him experience as to the effect of sec- ondary troubles like this on the mental power of the patient. The abscess undoubtedly commenced from the direct force of the bullet, which would have been followed shortly by congestion. ‘The witness said thisabscess probably formed shortly after the injury. Mr. Wilson asked the opinion of the witness as to whether, judging from the character of the abscess, the deceased was mentally com- petent three days before his death of making an intelligible statement. ‘The district attorney objected, holding that the capability of » person to have made astate- ment three ays beiore death was not a matter to be proved by expert testimony. He ob- jected also that Dr. Johnson had not snown himself to be qualified asan expert in these special matters. The court, after questioning Dr. Johnson, permitted the witness to state what the general i | effect of such abscesses or conditions as had Leen described would be upon the mental con- dition of the patient. ‘The witness said the montal faculties would at first be stimulated by irritation and follow- ing that there would be # quieting, resulting from this mechanical pressure upon the brain. ‘The witness was proceeding to state his opin- ion that a person so afficted, would not be in any condition to make a statement, but was checked by the court. The witness said such conditions would interfere with the patient's mental faculties and lessen their acuteness. ‘The witness was again asked what his opinion was of the mental capacity of a person so suf- fering three days before his death, but the question was ruled out, the court holding that the mental condition of the deceased was a matter for the jury to determine. EFFECT OF THE ABSCESS. On cross-examination the witness said he could not state with any certainty when the abscess was completely formed; it was his opinion that it began forming soon after the injury was inflicted. The abscess did not affect the brain so much as the conditions which pro- duced the abscess. While cross-examining Dr. Johnson Mr. Cole occasion to get somo testimony for his own use. He had the witness take a skuli and point out just the angle which the course of the ball took. Accoraing to the witness’ de- scription the ball’s course was at an anglo of forty-five degrees with a straight line drawn fore and aft through the middle of the skull. ‘The counsel for the defense watched thig det onstration quite clovely, as its bearing on the question whether Taulbee was confronting Aincaid or not was apparent. On redirect ex- amination by Mr. Wilson the witness said that the malabone which the bullet struck was very hard and likely to detect the course of a bullet. On recross-exumination the witness said the powder marks extended both sides of the nose. DR. JAMES KERR. Dr. James Kerr was next called asan expert witness. He said he heard Dr. Johnson's de- scription of the abscess and condition of Taulbee's brain, as shown at the autopsy. Pressure on tho brain, he said, interferes with the mental functions of the brain and, where the pressure was very great, entirely suspended them. ‘The effect of one’s suffering from a condition of the brain described by Dr. Johuson would be that the main faculties would be affected; there ‘was almost always delirium and partial uncon- sciousness at times. He might be aroused and be able to answer questions intelligently, but not be capable of giving a deliberate opinion. It was impossible to say with precision how Jong such an abscess would be forming; it would be some days. ‘The witness was asked what it indicated as to man's mental power when he was able to inake a statement covering several of paper’ and requiring two hours to give it, but the court ruled out the question. On cross-examination the witness said the mental condition would vary as to the abscess fe ; the effect would be progressive. Kincaid Testifies in His Own Behalf. Mr. Wilson next called the defendant, Kin- caid, to the stand, and that fact caused quite a flutter in the court room. Kincaid said he was thirty-five years old and a native of Boylecounty, Ky. He had practiced law, but was now a journalist. He came to Washington in 1885 as private secretary to Senator Williams, but bad once been euigaged im journalism. ’ For a year he wasin the consular service. He Tepre- sented here the Louisville Times, the San Fran- cisco Examiner, a'Texas paper’ and the New York Morning Journal. Having an afternoon paper which wont to press at 2 o'clock he had to go to the Capitol when Congress was in session early in the day and work very rapidly. This paper made a specialty of Kentucky news. He did not ink the condition of his health could have Reon worse | than it hed been juring the past three or four years. first had the attack of the iritis, which required him to be confined in a dark room. Subsequently he had typhoid fever and other troubles and was obliged his health and was taken very ill at sea and was laid up in a hospital upon ar- riving at Glasgow. He was taken ill again on the homward voyage. He derived very little hrenetit from the voyage, A& the time of, the shooti: was vel was quinine and foulon. —s ‘TAULBRE’S PERSISTENT ASSAULTS. He knew Taulbee, having met him after he ness described other similar occasions. Gnée witness encountered Taulbee in a street car when Ta:lbee glared at hi the witness got off the car to avoid Tauibee, and Taulbee threw himself in front of him at the door, but the witness got out. TAULBEE WANTED To CUT HIS THROAT. On the day the Silcott defalcation became known the witness went to the sergeant-at- arms’ room for information. Taulbee sprang out from behind an iron grating and forced witness into an angie an |. putting his hand into his right-hand pocket: “f onght to ent your d——d throat,” or “I will cut it.” The witness said that Taulbee was constantly seeking to intercept him or slip up behind him. He tried to avoid him and to prevent his com- ing upon him, as he was afraid of bein stabbed in the back. Taulbee would go anc stand where the newspaper men were in the habit of interviewing members in the morning be- fore the session, so witness had to avoid that place and let that work go. He started at wit- hess twice in the Ebbitt House, but witness got out of bis way. He had seen Taulbee walking up and down before witness’ office. TAULBEE'S THREATS COMMUNICATED TO EDT Persons had communicated Taulbee's threats to witness. The first who made an impression on witness was Col. Shaw. Jay Durham and Mr. Curtis had also spoken to him. Mr. Kelly also told him that Taulbee had threatened to kill witness and advised him to keep out of Taulbee’s way. Mr. Heath told him: that Taulbee was in the press gallery threatening to kill witness. Witness did every- thing he could after that to avoid Taulbee. Whenever he went to the Capital he took up his position so as to prevent Taulbee's coming upon him unawares. THE DAY OF THE SHOOTING. On the day of the shooting witness did not arrive until after the House met. He sent in at the east door for Mr. Caruth. In reply to a ‘question here the witness sid Taulbee's man- ner when he encountered him at the different times spoken of was always angry and violent. He always threw his left side toward witness and put his right hand in his pocket. Witness was standing with his back to the House look- ing out in the corridor. Then ‘Taulbee ‘ome out here.” I saw from his manner wl he meant, said the witness. He was angry. His face was inflamed and his eyes red. I said: “I ean't go. I have sent in the Honse for Mr. Caruth,” or Imay have said ‘‘a gentleman,” but if I did I said it im an ordinary tone. ile said: “You have got to go.” I said, ‘No, can't go. I have no quarrel with you now. and physically unabletocope with you.” Mean- time he had seized me, not by the coat lappel, but by the shoulder, and said: ‘Well, you bet- ter be.” Then Tauibee seized him by the ear and gave him two violent wrenches. “Now,” he said, “you d— little coward and monkey, go and arm yourself. He hissed that in my ear, “Go and arm your- self.” Just then Woodbridge came out and said there was a callin the House and Taulbee went into the House. During the altercation, which had lasted minute and a half, other words were spoken. ‘Taulbee said: “I want to see you.” Witness id: “You see me now.” Taulbce called him a “4— little liar.” Witness remained there near the door. An old white-haired gentleman named Morrison came up to him. ‘The witness was not allowed to state what Morrison said. He said Morrison was very kind. Witness saw Walton there also. He stopped there a minute or two and then went off and soon went to his room, at the cor- ner of 13th and F streets. BE RETURNS To THE CAPITOL. After lying down a while he concluded to re- turn to the Capitol to his work there. He took his cane, but, knowing that would be of little protection, he put into his pocket a revolver which he had bought after the assault on him in the sergeant-at-arms’ room, but had never carried but one day, as a friend had advised him to lay it asid He went over to a drug store at the corner, then got into a street car and went to the C lol to get news. He first sent for Mr. ‘uth, who came out of the House and talked with witness. Witness then sent in, he thought, for Gov. McCreary to ask him for news. Witness then went down the corridor toward the elevator to send in for Mr. Stone. There he met Mr. Morgan. From there he went back to the east door and then the newspaper men began asking him about the trouble and wit nexs aid he did not want them to print it. Then he went up to the press gallery to see Messrs. Morgan and Towle to see if he could not get them to suppress accounts of his trouble with Taulbes. Then he came back and went to the ladies’ reception room with the old ntleman, Morrison, whom he had met. In the meantime he had sent in acard for Mr. Goodnight and went to see if he had come out and was told Mr. Goodnight had been looking for him and was then in the restaurant at lunch. Witness then took Mr. McCormick, who was at the north door, and took him ten or fifteen feet fr: the door to talk with him. ‘Then he returned to the door. He thought he saw his friend, Mr. Walton, in the corridor and walked after the man he saw, supposing it was Walton. en he discovered he was mistaken. He saw Mr. Quantrell near the Jefierson statue and asked him if he had seen Walton. Quantrell said he did not know Walton. Witness then, aftera minute or two, decided to go to the lunch room for lunch and to see Mr. Goodnighs. He went down the stairs at his ordinary pace, leaning on his cane. He passed two men near the top of the steps. He had gone down to the first platform and a step or two on the next flight. He saw Taulbee standing there with another man, who was whispering to him. Taulbee was not less than five steps below wit- ness. ‘The other man wasa step or two above THE FATAL SHOT FIRED. “As soon as we recognized each other,” said Mr. Kincaid, ““Taulbee came toward me with his right hand in his pocket. I said: ‘You are going to kill me, are you?’ At the same time up. Witness tried to keep out of his way. Witness his going to the Capitol on cause a him roughly.

I re- treated to the platform and said: ‘Stand back; stand baek,’ drawing my revolver. As he came on the upper step I fired. “He was close to me. He was within reaching distance.” ‘The witness was asked what became of Don- aldson, the other man, and said when witness drew his revolver Donaldson darted down the steps and disappeared around the corner. “I stood there,” said the witness, “expecting a second attack. “Mr. Donaldson then came the steps. Then it was he God's sake don’t fire again. tion to what he said, rapidly back up said to’ mo, ‘For T paid no atten- T had uo intention of firing again.

He was at that time under such apprehension. “Why did you fire that shot?” asked Mr. Wil- “Because,” said Kineaid, “Ibelieved it washis life or mine. I could not be too quick.

He Will Leave Washington for the Pacific Const on April 13, The President, as now advised, will leave Washington on Wednesday, April 15, on his Cali- fornia trip. The party that will accompany him will be small, and will probably include no ladies. Several members of the cabinet will be of the party, including Secretary Tracy, who will avail himself of the opportunity « forded by the trip to visit the Mare Island navy yard and Union iron works at San Pran- cisco, where several United States vessels are now in course of construction. ‘The itinerary of the trip is not as yet mapped | out, but the President will probably be away in all about six weeks. Numerous letters of inquiry as to what cities the President and party will pass hrough are being daily received at the Executive Mansion, but no replies can be made, as the ' President himself has not yet’ made up his mind as to the exact route he will take. At first he wae in- clined to stop at several southern cities on his way to California, but this part of the original program may be abandoned, as he is urged to visit Oregon and Washington while out on the Pacific coast, and he fears he may not have time to tarry long in the south should he de- cide to go to the far northwest.

The trial of Lieut. James FE. Boteler of the eighth precinct took piace at headquarters in ‘the afternoon. The lieutenant, as heretofore published, was charged with intoxication on the 7th of January. The result of the trial will probably not be made public for some days. ‘The most surprising change was made at the White Honse. Policemen Collins, Marks and Cunningham, who have been detailed for duty at the Executive Mansion tor some time, were ordered back to precinet duty and Officers Elbs and Hollinberger of the first precinct were sent in their places. it is thought that Officer Collins will be placed on the retired list before long. Policeman Pat Creagh of No. 1 was trans- ferred from that precinct to No.6. ‘This trans- fer was made at the officer's request. The vacancy thus caused was filled by Officer Parker. who was transferred from the second precinct. Eugene Johnson and John McGrann were sworn in as members of the force today.
