RECORD OF HIS DAILY EXPENSES More About the Gift of $10,000 in District Bonds. INTERESTING TESTIMONY The sensation of the Holt will case today was the introduction of Judge Holt’s ac- count book, which purports to contain a record of all his daily expenses during the years of his life down to the time when his health began to fail, and he was obliged to break in upon his regular and precise habits. The book, which Mr. Worthington used to assist him in the cross-examination of one of the witnesses for the caveatees, even goes to the extent of recording the nickels that he spent for car fare, and under the initials “E. H.” seems to show every remittance that the judge made to Miss Hynes, one of the beneficiaries under the contested will. While giving her testi- mony in rebuttal this morning Mjss Hynes claimed that after 1884, when the judge gave her $10,000 in District bonds, he con- tinued to send her a monthly allowance Just the same, insisting that the big present was simply to keep her from being put to any inconvenience in case he ever forgot to send her a check. On cross-examination, Mr. Worthington quoted freely from the judge’s expense account to show that after 1884 he did not give her money with anything like the regu- larity he had done before. In answer to his questions, backed up by this old-time reccrd, the witness admitted that she was not so very certain after all as to the regu- larity with which she had received assist- ance from her gererous friend and pro- tector. This was all in line with the claim that is made by the lawyers for the heirs- at-law that when Judge Holt presented her with the bonds he regarded himself as ab- solved from the necessity of giving her as much as he had previously done, on the theory that the interest was sufficient to support her comfortably in a little Ker- tucky town. It is also pointed out that the date of this present corresponds pretty well with the date of the conversation testified to by Mrs. Briggs, in the course of which Judge Holt advised her to dispose of any property she might have to give away while she was still alive. The records of the money order office were also placed in evidence this morning to show that Miss Hynes did not receive money orders with anything like the fre- quency that was testified to by the former posimaster of Lebanon, Ky., where Hynes lived. At the request of counsel for the cavea- tees, the Holt will case adjourned at an earler hour than usual yesterday after- noon. Judge Bradley was loath to grant the request, and pointed out the many de- lays which have already arisen. “I am very anxious,” said the judge, “that this case shall come to an end some time before the Ist of July.” Mr. Darlington agreed that if the adjourn- ment was granted he would do all in his power to expedite matters. “I think,” he said, “that three days more wilt exhaust all our rebuttal evidence.” So it was that when the trial was re- sumed this morning all the parties con- cerned seemed to see daylight ahead in the prospect that the case would be given to the jury early next week. At the opening of the morning session Col. Chas. James was put upon the stand by the caveatees and questioned by Mr. Butterworth. He said that he knew e Postmaster General Horatio King, and saw him at his residence in this city shortly after the publication in the papers of a fac- simile of the alleged will. On that occasion, the witness said, Mr. King expressed himself as satisfied that the w:ll was a genuine document, but what puzzled him was the question as to where the paper had been during the long interim. Mr. Butterworth asked the witness wkether, on the occasion of that ccnversa- uen, something was not sald as to Judge Holt's being a spiritualist, and seeing to it himself that his will was sent in for probate. Judge Bradiey sustained an objection to the question, and, as Mr, Worthington said that he had no questions to ask the witness, Col. James was cxcused from the stand. Miss Annie Tully, who has been a do- mestic in the Throckmorton family for the last five years, was called as a witness, She testified that in 1591 she accompanted Miss Josephine to Judge Hol:’s house on two different occasions. On the occasion of the first visit Miss Throckmorton stayed for about an hour, and when she left Judge Holt bade her good-bye in the most affec- tionate manner, and asked her to. come again very soon. The second time she stayed even longer, and when rhe left the judge said that he had forgotten some- thing, and then presented her with a little package wrepped up in tissue paper. On cross-examination the witness said it was the colored servant, Martha, who let them in, and at the second visit Martha told Miss Josephine that the judge was expecting her, and that she was to walk right up to his room. These visits, she said, were made prior to the time that Major Throckmorton got into trouble with the War Department and was tried by court-martial. Miss Hynes Recalled. Miss Lizzie Hynes, one of the bene- ficiaries under the provisions of the al- leged will, was then recalled to the stand, to give further evidence in rebuttal. She said that both her parents died when she was a very little girl, She was cared for by her cousin, Mary Harrison, who was afterward Judge Holt’s first wife. She first met the judge when she was about five or six years of age, and the judge seemed to be very fond of her even then, frequent- ly saying that he loved her for Mary’s sake. Judge Holt’s family Bible was then pro- duced, and an entry in it showed that Judge Holt and Miss Harrison were mar- ried April 22, 1839. Miss Hynes said that she had a distinct recollection of the wed- ding, and at that time Judge Holt told his brido that he would always take care of little Lizzie, and intended to treat her as his own daughter. Miss Hynes said that all the property which her father left her had been lost, and she-was totally dependent on Judge Holt. He paid her school bills and bought her clothing, and all her vacations were spent at his home in Louisville. Upon the death of Mrs. Holt the witness went to live with a married sister. Judge Holt insisted on paying her board even then, but her brother-in-law would not permit it. While living with her sister Judge Holt paid all her expenses and kept her in pocket money, saying that so long as he had money she should never want for anything. Mr. Worthington broke in upon the ex- amination with the remark that this was but threshing over old straw. Hie side, he said, were perfectly willing to admit that Judge Holt always felt himself called upon to provide for Miss Hynes’ support up to the time when he presented her with $10,000 In bonds. Mr. Darlington paid no attention to tHe interruption, but went right on plying the witness with questions which were in- tended to show that Judge Holt all through his life treated Miss Hynes precisely as if she had been his own weil-beloved daugh- ter. She recounted various incidents that occurred on a trip that she took with Judge Holt in 1861, which included visits to Bos- ton, New York and Niagara. In the two former cities he made anti-slavery speeches, which attracted a great deal of attention at the time. She stood beside him on the steps of the Tremont House on the memorable occasion when he delivered his great speech in Boston. Miss Hynes said that she took a number of other trips with the judge after that. On each he did all in his power to give her a pleasant time. The last trip was in '85 or "86. She also visited at the judge’s house in this city several times, the Jast in 1891, and he always treated her in the most hos- pitable and generous manner. He often spoke of the Throckmorton family, invari- ably in the kindest possible manner. He seemed to have a eat regard for the major as a brave and honorable man. He was particularly fond of Miss Josephine, who, as a child, had completely won his heart by her affectionate manner and sunny disposition. He had taught her to call him Bon Pere, which he interpreted as good and kind father. He was all the time making her presents. Miss Hynes then spoke of the misunder- EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 75th meridian time. @Pertyy ceoudy, * @croudp @hain. @ "om, Solld tines are tso- Bars, or lines of equal alr pressure, drawn for each tenth of an inch.

Throckmorton’s mother. | It seems that somebody had told the judge that Mrs. Throckmorton had said that somebody else had said that Mrs. Somebody Else had said that Miss Hynes had read aloud to her portions of a letter from the judge to Miss Hytes which contained some terms of en- dearment and incidentally that she had re- ferred to him as an old fool. Present of Bonds. Miss Hynes said that in 1884, when Judge Holt gave her the bonds, he said that he did so simply becavse he sometimes forgot to send her monthly remittances, and did not want her to be put to any inconven- fence. He said that he did not want her to consider it as a*closing up of the account, but that he would continue to provide for her regularly as before. She was never dependent upon the interest of the bonds, and he often told her that he had amply provided for her in addition to that $10,- 000. She once asked him what his relatives would think of his generosity, fo which he replied that it was none of their business, as he had made his own money without their assistance, and intended to dispose of it as he saw fit. The last time she saw him was in 1891, in this city. He told her then that he had always tried to take good care of her, and wanted her to know that she would be able to live equally well all her if life. “When we separated at the end of that isit,”” sald Miss Hynes, “he said to me, ‘Lizzie, may God be with you ‘till we meet again.” That was the last I ever saw of the truest and best friend I ever had cn this earth, a friend from my earliest youth.” Mr. Darlington then read to the jury a letter to her from Judge Holt, dated Feb- ruary 24, 1885, and beginning, “My precious cousin.” In it he said that she could not rejoice in her independence any more than he did, for nothing would make him more wretched than to feel that she might some day be left to the tender mercies of the world. She was safe then, he said, but she would be even safer in due time.” On cross-examination Miss Hynes sald that when Judge Holt died and no will was found she thought it was very strange. Her recollection was that she did not turn ever her letters from Judge Holt to Mr. McCord, the Kentucky lawyer who is as- sociated with the attorneys for the cav- eatees, until after the will turned up. She denicd that she ever spoke to anyone about making terms in case a will was found. An Account Book. Miss Hynes said that as a rule Judge Holt sent her $50 a month, sometimes more. : “Mics Hynes,” asked Mr. Worthington, who was, holding a lttle account book in his hand, “do you know whether Judge Helt kept a dally, record df all his ex- penses?” “I do not.” “What were your bonds?” “They were District of Columbia bonds.” “What income did they bring you?” “I received $600 a year.” “Now, is it not a fact that in the three years after 1884, when he gave you the bonds, he sent you money only once?” “It is not. He continued to send me money as before.” Miss Hynes was unable to say definitely whether the money came in the form of checks or drafts on New York, drawn by Riggs & Co. Mr. Worthington then handed the little account book to Miss Hynes and she iden- tified the handwriting. He explained that it was a record of the daily expenditures of Judge Holt, down to the nickels that he spent for car fare. The lawyer fre- quently referred to this book in his further ercss-examination, which served to mate- rially shake the witness’ certainty as to the regularity with which’Judge Holt sent her_money. “Now, Miss Hynes, can you say positive- ly that after June, 1884, when he gave you the bonds, Judge Holt ever sent you Pelee until April, 1885, when he sent you “Yes, I think he did. I think he sent me money.” “Now, can you say positively that from that date to July, 1887, he sent you a sin- gle cent?” “I am not sure. I remember that in “You misunderstand me. I am referring wos period between April, 1885, and July, “I don’t remember.” “Or that from then down to April, 1889, he sent you any money?” “I think he did. I know he gave me nen on the occasion of my visits to this city.” ir that he gave you any more until the summer of 1890, when this book shows he paid you $65?” ¥ The Money Orders. Again the witness’ recollection on this point was a little vague. She was then ex- cused from the stand to allow the cav- eators to cell a clerk from the money or- der bureau of the post office. A man who was postmaster of Lebanon, Ky., from April, 1800, down to August, 1894, testified in this case, some days ago, that during his term of office a money order for $0 came for Miss Hynes about once a month. Mr. Lee M. Lipgcomb of, the money order bureau, who was armed-with a dozen big beoks containing the records of the office, testified that during the period mentioned the ohly honey ordcrs from this city on the Lebanon office in favor of Miss Hynes were but thirteen in number, footing up to @ total of $465. At this point the judge ordered a recess until 1 o'clock. One Mystery Cleared. Miss Hynes again took the stand after re- cess. In answer to a question from Mr. Worthington, she said that. after the judge's @eath she took a trip to Florida with a Mrs. Harding. She admitted that on that trip she told Mrs. Harding that § Judge Holt had drawn up a will for her, in which disposition was made of her bonds. The will was dated in January, 1886. She said that she was unwilling to produce it, but admitted that in it no mention was made of Mrs. Ray. Judge Holt insisted that Mrs. Ray had a husband to take care of her, while Miss Hynes had other rela- tives who were not as well provided for. “Now, on that trip did you not tell Mrs. Harding that you had always hoped to get something when Judge Holt died, but that you had never been sure of it?” don’t know that I ever gaid that.” “How often did you visit.Niagara with Judge Holt?” “Nine times in all.” : ‘What was the date of your last visit?” “In 1885 or 1886." “Are you sure of that?” “That ts my best recollection.” In answer to a question from Mr. Dar- Ungton Miss Hynes said that Roundtree was the name of a man in Kentucky whom she had named as the executor of her will. Qn his death she named Mr. J. M. Knott. ¢ These are the names which appeared to- gether with the words “date of will, Jan. 1, 1886,” on a piece of paper. which was Picked up in a closet in Judge Holt’s room after his death. “That clears up another mystery in this case,” said Mr. Darlington. “Yes, and it simply bears out the testi- mony of one witness whom you tried to break down on cross-examination on this very point,” Mr. Worthington replied. “And you will remember. that I #a'd some time ago that I attached no importance what- ever to the theory of a will written by Judge Holt bearing date of 1880." Mr. Hay Agrees. Mr. Darlington called as his next witness Mr. E. B. Hay, the lawyer and teacher of penmanship. He qualified as an expert on handwriting by stating that he had devoted years to the study and comparison of hand- writings, and had testified in more than 100 cases In various courts. Mr. Hay began by stating that he first saw the alleged will in the Orphans’ Court last February. “We noticed then—” he said. “Tell what you yourself noticed, Mr. Hay,” remarked Mr. Worthington. “Ah,” replied Mr. Hay, in a bland and suave manner that is characteristic of him, “I was using the word ‘we’ in an editorial sense.”” = “But editors are not always responsible for what they say when using the editorial ‘we,’ said Judge Bradley. “I agree entirely with the court,” replied the witness, with a Chesterfieldian bow. aes L. A. W. MEETING. Decision to Have a Parade of the Wheelmen. ‘There was e largely attended meeting of the local division cf the League of Ameri- can Wheelmen last evening in the parlors of the Ebbitt House. The road book com- mittee reported progress. Copies of road books of various state’ divisions were se- cured as a gutde. and a set of maps had been donated by the geological survey. The area of the local road book, according to the repont, was a direction of forty miles south and east of the District and ninety miles north and west, all distances to be calculated from the new city post office. The appointment of Mr. E. E. Simpson as official referee was announced. The police regulations were brought up and discussed. Chief Consul Potter of the New York division has in process of formation a large number of regulations which are calculated to give bicyclists a fair show, tt was decided to secure a copy and use what pants would be of benefit to local wheelmen. The committee on rights and privileges was instructed to do this. The matter of holding a parade under the auspices of the league was brought up, and it was decided to give a public demon- stration. It was thought that on the even- ing of July 10 would be an excellent date, being during the time of the Christian En- deavor convention. A committee consist- ing of Messrs, W. K. Larrimore, chairman; G. A. Mansfield, B. F. Larcombe, Franklin Jannus, A. W. Leeke, L. P. Keyser and Frank J. Wissner was appointed with full power to arrange for the same. In order to eacourage a large representation in line of the local wheelmen it is ¢ontemplated to give a number of prizes. ——.___, Real Estate at Auction.

Commissioners Appoint Boards Under New | °2 Per cent Medical Lawa Three Schools to Be Represented— Other Local Matters of In- terest to Taxpayers. It 1s expected that the board of medical supervisors, created under the act of Junc 8, 1896, will be prepared to examine appli- cants for license to practice medicine in the District of Columbia July 9 next. Late yesterday afternoon the Commis- sioners named the medical board repre- senting the regular and homeopathic schools, and within a few days, unless the Eclectic Society sends in nominations, the Commissioners will name the board to rep- resent that school. For the regular school the Commission- ers, upon the recommendation of the Medi- cal Society, named Drs..H. A. Klein- schmidt, G. Wythe Cook, J. S. McLain, Geo. C. Ober and C. B, Purvis. The homeopathic board will consist of Drs. J. B. G. Custis, 8. 8. Stearns, W. R. King, Z. B. Babbitt ahd T. L. McDonald. These boards will elect presidents, to- gether with the eclectic board (not yet ap- pointed), and the presidents of each, with two lay members, yet to be appointed by ‘the Commissioners, are to constitute the medical advisory board. The several medi- cal boards will submit to the advisory board the lists of questions to be pro- pounded to the applicants, and the latter board makes the selection of the questions to be asked. As soon as the several boards meet and elect their respective presidents, the latter will hold a session and decide upon the ways and means of carrying out the pro- visions of the bill. At the present time the indications are that the advisory board will meet within a few days, and the rules and regulations which are to govern the examinations will be promulgated. The law provides for an examination on the second Thursday in July, and an effort will be made to be ready by that time to ex- amine such applicants as may care to take the examination. General satisfaction is expressed at the selections of the Commissioners. The phy- siclans named are all well-known profes- sional gentlemen, and stand at the head of their profession. The Commissioners have been careful in selecting the different boards to give the several colleges equal representation. Dr. H. A. Kleinschmidt is one of the best- known physiologists in the country, an in- defatigable worker and a representative physician. He occupies the chair of phy- siology in the Georgetown Medical College. Dr. G. Wythe Cook is also a well-known physiclan of Washington. He is a pro- fessor of clinical medicine in Columbian’ Medical College, and represents the college on the board. Dr. Cook is one of the best tezchers of medicine in the city, and his services will be specially valuable to the new board. Dr. J. 8. McLain, while not representing any college on the board, is known as a physician of merit, and a gentleman of the highest qualifications. Dr. George C. Ober is the representative of the National Medical College on the board. Dr. Ober is recognized as a scientist of deep research, and a gentleman ably qualified to guard the interests of the citi- zens. He is professor of materia medica end therapeutics in the National Medical College. Dr. C. B. Purvis, the colored member of the board, has long been known in Wash- ington. For many years he was surgeon- in-chief of Freedmens Hospital, and at present is professsor of obstetrics and gynaecology in the Howard University, which college he represents on the board. No man is entitled to more credit than Dr. J. B. G. Custis for the passage of the n:edical bill. He worked hard for its success, and will doubtless be president of the ho- meopathic board. The doctor is an old practitioner of medicine, and enjoys a large practice. Dr. 8. 8. Stearns, another member of the homeopathic board, is widely and favorably known all over the country. He is presi- dent of the Homeopathic Society, and a physician of high merit. Dr. W. R. King is one of the most popu- lar physicians of the city. He is closely identified with his profession, and has a hest of friends in and out of the profession. Dr. Z. B. Babbitt is another prominent representative of the homeopathic school on the board. He has the reputation of be- ing a thorough scholar and a scientific physician. He will play a prominent part in the new board. Dr. T. L. McDonald, the fifth member of the homeopathic board, is the surgeon of the faith of Hanneman, and is well and favorably known in Washington. He is connected with the Homeopathic Hospital, and is a surgeon of merit.
