Within the past few days he has been rapidly sinking, and it is arnounced that his hours are numbered. He has tried a change to country air, but with little apparent benefit. His physician allows few of the pugilist’s friends to see him. Dempeey realizes s condition and says itis due to the blow he received at the hands of Fitzsimmons four years ago, but his friends say that it is consumption. Since his return to his home here, some months ago, Dempsey has absolutely re- fused to talk to reporters sbout prize- fighting. His wife remains closely at his bedside day and night, carefully attending to his wants. —_— INQUEST AT FRESNO. James Monrce’s Death Found to Have Been Due to Alcoholism. FRESNO, Cav., Oct. 21.—Coroner Long held an inquest this morning over the body of James Monroe, who dropped dead in a saloon at Fowler yesterday after liguor bhad been poured down his throat. An autopsy was made but no traces of poison couid be found. There was a little whisky left in the flask the contents of which had been poured down Monroe's throat. An examination of this was made, but there was no_poison in it. The doctors found Monroe’s brain in a very bad condition from too much drink, and’all the evidence pointed to death from alcoholism. This g'_nr:ing was embraced in the jury’s ver- ict. The jury took no action in regard to J. H. Hawkins, the young man who was ar- rested in this city. Hawkins evidently bad no intention of killing Monroe, but was making sport of the inebriate. He was released from jail to-day, but was im- mediately rearrested by Constable Mason .of Fowler on a warrant charging him with disturbing the peace. AR Banker Weill’s Will Filed. SANTA BARBARA, Can., Oct. 21.— The will of Isadore Weill, the Lompoc banker, whose sudden death at Hueneme | caused the occurred some two weeks ago, was to-day filed for probate.

De-_ pondency on account of business troubles == TROUBLE [N THE SYNCD. MR. ELLIS ASSAILS THE EOLOGICAL SEMINARY DIRECTORS. His Acct H CaLrL FORTH A FroM DR. SAN JOSE, Car., Oct. 21 tional services this morning, the Presby- terian synod took a short adjournment and visited the Normal School in a body. It was received by Professor Childs and Henry French of the Board of Trustees, After devo- | and addresses were made by Moderator Stevenson and Mr. French. On reassembling the report of the Theo- minary committee was taken up. It spoke favorably of the way the semi- nary was conducted by the board of direc- | tors, but recommended that the present now cons ituted, be abolished, commission, ting of two mem- bers from each pri ery, be created to have charge of the seminary. The adoption of the report was strongly ivocated by Rev.John W, Ellis of Oal land, and he created quite a sensation by n the charge that the committee had nfluenced by the board of directors in reporting favorably on the board’s duct of th He advo ection tors from each pres- tery and maintained that a seminary with finances of $1,000,000 in coin to its credit ought to be conducted in the strict- est method and under the watchful eyes of a lareer representation. Finally Mr. Ellis erated thatthedirectors had influenced the committee in its report. Rev. Dr. Dinsmore of this city, who is one of the directors, arose and challenged Mr. Ellis to prove that the board had been guilty of such conduct, or that any of its members had tried to influence the com- mittee. As Mr. Ellis attempted to talk further Dr. Dinsmore shouted: “It’s a lie, and it’s made out of whole cloth.” “It's not,” said Mr, E]l Dr. Dinsmore asked Mr. Ellis to name the one who had attempted to influence the committee, but the latter declined to do so, say he did not charge them directly, but his was a general charge. The excitement was at its height when the synod adjourned for the noon hour. Dr. Dinsmore stated during the recess that there was between $700,000 and $800,- 000 in the treasury of the seminary, but the board of twenty-four members could be relied upon to handle it judi- ciously. If it did not 1t could:be removed. “As for me,” said he, “'I don’t propose. as longasIam one of the board to have a bglialxmchud to me, to be rung for every nickel.” P diciary committee was engaged hearing the case against Elder T. Gordon of Los Angeles for contumacy ying the orders of the Los An- ery. [t will probably report ednesday to-morrow Asks for Letters of Adiwninistration. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 21.—Cbristiana Kleinhammer to-day petitioned the Supe- rior Court for letters of administration upon the estate of her husband, Henry Klemnhammer, who died at Campbell Sta- tion on October 14. The estate 1s valued at $14,000. e Held for Burglary. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 21.—John E. Stan- ley and Samuel Francies, who looted the residence of H. V. Morehouse a few weeks ago, were examined before Justice Gass tbis morning on a charge of burzlary. They were held to answer in the Superior Court, with bail fixed at $3000 each. HONORED FATHER CROWLEY. Banquéted at the Occidental on His Return From Ireland. A banquet was tendered to Rev. Father D. O. Crowley on his return from Europe at the Occidental Hotel last evening. After an elaborate menu had been dis- cussed J. R. Kelley, president of the Hibernia Bank, who acted aschairman, extended & welcome to the guest of the evening. He proposed the health of Rey. D. 0. Crowley. The toast was received with musical honors, the guests singing, ‘““For he’s a jolly good fellow.”” In reply Father Crowley said, in part: *‘My dear friends: I thank you for this palpable testimony of esteem, which I value above silver or gold. **When about tostart outon a short vaca- tion to Ireland last May I felt grateful for the spirit that prompted the testimonial then gotten up for me, though I would not accept the gift. Your generosity on that occasion was as much appreciated as if I had taken and used the plethoric purse vrepared for my journey, and I am_glad here and now to have the opportunity of expressing my grateful acknowledgment. “In all sincerity I mustconfess you have overvalued my services in this community and attributed to me much of the work which you yourselves have accomplished. Your co-operation in the cause of the homeless boys and of charity in general has always been freely and cheerfully iven. Without that co-operation I could have done but hittle.” ‘The next toast proposed was that of ex- Judge Jeremiah Sullivan. This, too, was received . with musical honors. In his speech of thanks the Judge referred to his pleasant associations with the chair- man of the evening. Mr. Sullivan paid a passing tribute to Archbishops Ireland and Riordan, and spoke in eulogistic terms of the Youths' Directory. Following is a list ‘of the guests who were present at the banquet: Martin Fennell, Jerome Deasy, J.J. Dona- hue, J. F. Renault, John Kenny, tain H.J. Meagher, W. K. Stafford, John S.

MANY ATTRACTIVE RESIDENCES PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT IN THE BuiLpIiNG LINE1IN ALL ITS BRANCHES. SANTA CRUZ, Caz., Oct. 19.—Santa Cruz is making steady progress in building lines. The fire of last year destroyed some of the finest business blocks of the town, but these have all been replaced by finer and more substantial brick and stone buildings of modern style of architecture. At present building is very brisk. The beautiful new courthouse, which is to take the place of the one recently de- stroyed by fire, is assuming proportions. When completed it will cost in the neigh- borhood of $60,000. The foundations for the building and vaults for the different offices have been completed. They are of concrete, The workmen are dressing the blue sandstone, which is to form a large part of the build- ing material, and it is being placed in po- sition as rapidly as possible. The pressed brick has also arrived, and everything will soon be ready for the placing of it in position. The floor will be tiled, and the roof con- structed of slate. The entire building will be fireproof. The brick used is from the brickyards on Ocean street, a new in- dustry lately established in this city, and they are first class in every respect. The cornerstone of the Courthouse will be laid with imposing ceremonies on No- vember 2, under the auspices of the Masons of this City, Watsonville and ad- joining towns. The school children of the county will also be invited to participate in the ceremonies. The Odd Fellows, who own some of the most valuable property in this city, are also makipg numerous improvements. They have added to the Postoffice buil. ing, which was a plain one-story brick structure, another story, with a beautiful and modern front. The second story is devoted to office purposes. They have also added a large addition to their building built of brick. It will con- tain one of the finest and largest lodge- rooms of the State, which is now nearly finished. The Grand Encampment, which will be held in this city next year, will be held in this room Since the fire there hasbeen one vacant space in that district in Pacific avenue. It is where the Pilot-house Company build- ing stood, but to-day C. Hoffman is having built a fine brick building, which will be a great improvement to that part of town. It will be a modern business block. For many years the entire business por- tion of the town has been confined to Pa- cific avenue, but it is now branching out to the side streets. The F. A, Hihn Com- pany is having built on Washington ave- nue a brick block, which will be used for business purposes, and will be an improve- ment to that splendid avenue. The Postoffice, which has for so many years occupied a building on racific ave- nue owned by the Odd Fellows, will soon remove into new quarters, which are being fitted up 1 elegant style in the Hihn block, on Walnut avenue. New lock- boxes of the latest improved pattern have arrived, which wiil replace the old-style boxes in use for so many years, The barn-like structure, the fair pa- vilion, has been moved from Soquel ave- nue to Front street, where the carpenters are transforming it,at a cost of several thousand dollars, into an armory for the Naval Reserves., As is usual in this city, there is a steady growth and new and beautiful residences are always in the course of erection. At the powder-works, on the mountain over- lookmng the S8an Lorenzo Canyon and this city, a handsome modern cottage of the Eastlake style has been completed and is occupied by William Peyton, superinten- dent of the California Powder Works. Another beautiful residence has just been completed for H. Woods. It is of the colonial style of architecture; and is on the famous CIiff drive. The summer home (Concha del Mar) of Mrs. J. R. Jarboe of San Francisco is be- ing enlarged to about twice its original size. The people at Capitola are to have a church building. Lots haye been donated and funds are being raised for the erection of an Episcopal chvrch. JUDGECONLAYS WARNING EIGHT DEALERS IN ADULTERATED MILE FINED TEN DOL- LARS EACH. THE INSPECTOR PROPOSES To HAVE PuRE MILK OR NONE AT ALL. Beven milkmen, who pleaded guilty in Judge Conlan’s court on Saturday to the charge of selling adulterated milk, ap- peared for sentence yesterday morning. Their names are: Peter Menjan, Henry Ross, C. Tepper, Frank Sembertrant, Hen- ry Adolph, Joseph Kennell and Robert Gunnison. They were each fined $10 ex- cept Pascal Belon, who was dismissed on account of his being a partner of Menjan. Judga Conlan in passing sentenge sai “The offense to which these defendants have entered a plea of guilty isa serious one to a marked degree. The prosecuting authorities have suggested to me the ad- visability and propriety of imposing a light fine upon these defendants on ac- count, in the first place, of its being their first offense and, secondly, it appearing that there is a mitigating circumstance. I am informed some of these defendants did not actually know themselves the abomin- able character of the milk they were dis- posing of. “I want to ux that in addition to these defendants, and I want it to go broadcast to other parties engaged in the same character of bumuu& do not want them to think because a small fine is imposed this time that persons can carry on the. same character of business and when ar- rested come in here and pay a small fine, because I will not permit it. I want to strictly and earnestly warn and caution you that your transactions will be under the :un'eifiance of Inspector Dockery, and that if vou are bronght in here on a simi- lar public-deceiving offense the penalty imposed upon you will be a remarkably- disagreeable surprise to you. I shall pun- ifih you to the very fullest extent of the aw, I think Inspector Dockery’s efforts de- serve great commendation and support. He has proved himself to be a vigorous and energetic public officer, and I will say to him that I hope he will in the future as in the past continue this judicious crusade against this character of persons, and he can rely upon me at any ard all times to render all the help and assistance in m power to further the good ends of his offi- cial undertaking.” . M. Furger and F. Marty pleaded guilty in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday to a similar charge. Marty was fined $10 and sentence on Furger was deferred till to- day.- The Judge characterized their of- fense as one of the highest crimes against the community, and warned them thata second offense would be followed by im- prisonment. Milk Inspector Dockery spent most of his time yesterday analyzing the samples of milk captured in the early Sunday morning raid. Nearly all the samples were submitted to the Babcock test and showed adulteration in some form. After Dockery finished with the milk it was turned over to Bacteriologist Spencer, who will test it for solid matter. It must show twelve per cent in order to come up to the standard. Mr. Dockery thinks, however, that most of the samples will fall short, in which event the dealers from whose wagons it was taken will be arrested. Concerning the adulterated milk of Alex Simon, P. Giola and J. Christian, samples of which were seized yesterday morning, there was not the slightest doubt, and in consequence they Will be arrested to-day. The following delegation made an in- formal call on the Board of Health last night for the purpose of discussing the sitbation and incx({enta\ly recommending the adoption of an ordinance prohibitin, the sale of skim milk: L. A. Hayward, J. A. Vermeil, J. Johnson, G. L. Pérham, P. Cauban. A. L. Stone, J. Sanders, E. A. Green, J. Sarthon. The Board of Health members present were: Drs. Fitzgibbon, Williamson, Morse, Hart and Lovelace. L. A. Hayward as spokesman for the visitors said that the association desired some immediate action in the matter of skim milk. As a body they were in favor of doing away with it altogether, though he guesnoned if it could be done. He then read the following letter from Charles E. Wilson, attorney for the Milkmen’s Asso- ciation: October 21, 1895. Company, 1015 Valencia street, City—GENTLEMEN: In answer to your question, ““Is the sale of immed milk’ in this State prohibited by statute?” I beg to say: The act to provide against the adultération of food and drugs now in force may be found on page 71, statutes of 1895, 1t provides: Section 1. No person shall, within this State, manufacture for sale, offer for sale or sell any drug or article of fo0d which iy adulterated within the meaning of this act. * % & 5 article shall be deemed adulterated neaning of this ac f fooa: (1) 1f any substance or substances & een mixed with it 89 as Lo lower cr depreciate or injuriously aftect its quality, strength or purity. (2) Ifany inferior or cheaper supstance or substances have been substituted wholly or in part for it. (3) It auy valuable or Decessary constituent or ingredient has been wholly Or in part abstracted from it. (4) If it is an_imitation of, or is sold under the nume of, an- other article. (8) if it consists whoily or in part of a diseased, decowposed, putrid, _infected, tainted or rotten animal or vegetable substence or article, whether manufacturea or not; or, in the case of milk, if It is the produce of & disensed ani- mal. (6) 1f'it s colored, coated, polished or pow- dered, whereby damage or inferiority is concealed, or if by any means it is made to app*ar beiter or of greater value than It Teally fs. (7) It it coutains sny added substance or ingredient which is poison- ous or injurious (0 health. J I assume thet “skimmed milk” is that which remsins of the natural product of the cow—or &s it is sometimes termed, “whole milk"”—after a valusble constituent, to wit, the cream, has been abstracted therefrom. This being correct it follows that selling, or offering for sale, “skimmed milk” as “whole milk” is pro- hibited by the statute above mentioned. It is also true, I think, that‘‘skimmed milk” is a recognized article of food and of commerce, in common use and is not injurious to health if not the product of a diseased animal and no foreign subsiance is_introduced; therefore I am of opinion that if uo substance is mixed with it lowering, deprec ting, or njuriously affecting its quality, strength or purity, the sale of what is termed ‘‘skimmed milk” assuch is not in violation of the statute. The Health officers did not agree with Attorney Wilson in his construction of the law as regards the sale of skim milk. They heid that it was not a recognized ar- ticle of food and conse(}\;enfly was a direct violation of the law. Dr. Morse, as chair- man of the meetingfi assured the associa- tion representatives that if they desired to withdraw skim milk from sale entirely they would in a day or two make such rules as would authorize the sale of only pure milk, A formal notice would be mailed them relative to the rules estab- lished, and the skim-milk venders allowed a few days in which to make arrangements with their regular customers to take only pure milk. 3 _The warrant against Supervisor Joseph I\mfi,wbi_ch was sworn to by Inspector Dockery in Judge Low’s court on Satur- day morning, has not yet been served upon him, and no explanation of the delay can be obtained. G. Guannini, proprietor of the Family dairy, on Berlin street, denies the state- ment of Inspector Dockery that his cows are fed on the marshes. e says that in- stead of pasturing his cows on the marshas they are fed in the barn, and that any statement to the contrary does him great injustice. NOT WORTH TAXING. A San Francisco Woman’s Investment in Arvid Lands. Mrs. Annie G, Bucklin owned three lots in the Western Addition of Delano, Kera County. She is dead, and her husband, Edward P. Bucklin of 617 Bush street, pro- tests in the Superior Court against having the lots assessed. He says the property is not worth §5, and as proof of that he sub- mits the following correspondence: SAN FrANCISCO, Dec. 13, 1893. T. A. Baker, Treasurer and Taz Collector Kern County, Bakersjicid, Cal. - You will find 1nclosed 30 cents for 1y taxes on lots 53, 54 and 55, block 41, Western Addition to Delano, It the money is not sufficient please write me the amount. MRS. ANNA G. BUCKLIN. BAKERSFIELD, CAL., Nov. 27, 1893. Mrs. Annie G. Bucklin, San Francisco—DEAR MapaM: As per promise, I looked over assess- ment tax lists to-day in your case with follow- ing result: I found ‘your name correctly laid down on the plat-book of Western Addition, Delano—lots 53, 54, 55, block 41—but no entry upon assessment roll. 1 asked the Tax Collector why, and was told that the property was not considered worth assessing, unless by the dozen or hundred, Sorry you made investment without know- ing someéthing of the property, but hope that the amount paid was not much.

GARCELON USED TO FEEL WORSE AFTER JUDGE STANLY'S VISITS. FIVE WITNESSES FOR DEFENSE, THE TABER NoTes Dip NoT SELL ' AT PAR—CAPTAIN PURRING- TON’S STORY. The defense in the Garcelon case had on the stand yesterday Judge W. W. Foote, Mrs. I. W. Taber, Captain Franklin Pur- rington and O. C. Miller, president of the Sausalito Bay Land Company and executor of Stephen W. Purrington’s will. Judge Foote, the counsel for “the boys" when they received $500,000 not to contest Mrs. Garcelon’s will, concluded his testi- mony, begun last week, by telling some- thing of his understanding of the relations of Mrs. Garcelon to the nephews, Mrs. Taber, the intimate friend and neighbor of the old lady, whose physical and mental condition she discussed, told more of that pain in Mrs. Garcelon’s head and of her cautiousness in Stephen Purrington’s pres- ence. Captain Purrington, the master without a ship, and all because of his giv- ing up the sea to become a ‘sort of third officer at ‘Mrs. Garcelon’s, went over the story of his financial losses due to his be- coming an ordinary land Iubber for pay, and incidentally raised the presumption that he is not altogether a disinterested witness in the big suit. The day’s session was slightly prolonged to assist the last witness to complete his story, but the slow, thouehtful, precise and deliberate Miller could not firRsh before that youth- ful exponent of judicial courtesy, Judge Hayne, was on his feet with the remark, “It seems to me we will never get throygh.’” Counsel for the defense put their heads together, and then Arthur Rodgers an- nounced that they would in all probability complete their oral testimony by the end of to-day’s session. “Now, Mr. Foote, tell something of the conversations you had with Mrs. Garcelon on your numerous visits,” said A. A. Moore, the Oakland attorney, as he took his turn as a questioner tor the defense. *‘Are you driving at that monument story 2 gegan the witness. “I thought I had been pretty well over the whole ground in respopse to every one’s questions; everybody except Mr. Olney has ques- tioned me. 1 went down into the base- ment, and, at Mrs. Garcelon’s request, viewed the model for the Merritt monu- ment. “‘She told me that she intended to settle the matter; that the boys bad been un- justly treated; but I would not discuss the subject with her alone. & *] told the boys when they signed the compromise papers that if the old lady were left to her:el? I thought they would eventnally get the whole prqperbp' any way, and I am still of that opinion.” After the defense had tried in various ways to avoid Judge Hayne’s successful objections and form a question that would allow the witness to tell what Judge Stanly had said regarding Mrs. Garcelon’s ability, the counsel for the plaintiffs consented that the whole matter should come out. *Well,” resumed Foote, ‘‘Hackett came voluntarily from Judge Stanly and told me that notwithstanding Dr. Merritt's will this old lady could not make any papers that would deprive these boys of their prop- erty. 1 asked Mr. English to go to see Judge Stanly and find out whether it was so or not. He returned and said he had his talk with Judge Stanly,and it was practically the same as Hackett had re- norted. Neither of them told me that Stanly said she was too wezk-minded to make a will.” % Mrs. Taber, all in black, with only a lit- tle dash of green in the small jet-betrimmed bonnet on her golden hair, swept on to the stand and took the oath. “I met Mrs. Garcelon in '73,” began the wife of the photographer, “and I used to call at the Merritt house very often in the evening. My husband was there more than I was; Le was there every evening. “Bhe waas a tall, slender woman, and stooped forward and slightly down toward the left side. She was weak, and had the appearance of a thin old lady, and she could not move round very well. ““I always used to find her in the billiard- room either sitting in an armchair or lying on a lounge. She complained of ain in the back of the head and also had gyspepsiu. She took three kinds of medi- cines for these troubles and for her general weakness. *“We lived in a house three doors below, rented from her. Stephen Purrington came over one day ana spread a sack over a grating in the sidewalk that we had opened to carry off the lawn drain, and he said that the embankment on Lake Mer- ritt had been washed away because of the extra water through'the sewer. I wasin- dignant and went over to Mrs. Garcelon about it, and she said: “‘Well, he's an old fool. He might have known that that}lit- tle water would not wash away an em- bankment.’ *‘Sh!’ she added. ‘Don’t sn%anvthmg about it—here comes Stephen. Don’t take the sack off, but let it remain_for a day or two, and then have your Ohinaman take it off, and he will think the water washed it away.’ g i “Respecting the will, she said she was worried about the whole business; that it gave her a pain in the head. She wished the doctor had not left her anything. “Sometimes after Judge Stanly bhad been there she looked very pale and occa- sionally very red, as though she had a fever, and she used to remark that she did uo; get strong from one visit before an- other. “She was easily inflaenced if approached in the right way; butif she thought any one was tryingto dictate to her she was very stubborn. % ‘“Mr. Rodgers, she said, had poisoned the doctor's mind against Fred, for he feared Fred might get his place as the doctor’s business munagers She wanted me to have Mr. Taber visit ‘the boys’ at Mrs. Shattuck’s and tell them that if they behaved they would get more from her. “Jamss Merritt used to drink a good deal and she didn’t want him to.” “ Wasn’t your rent considerably in ar- rears?’’ asked Judge Hnes. G “T don’v know,” replied the witness, a little flushed. “Yes; Mrs. Garcelon gave my husband anote for §5000 and he took it.” “You thought she had mental capacity enough to give that note?” persisted the suave Hayne. “I certainly did.” And then Philbrook took his witness for the hnal soothing of her nerves before she should be excused. “She told me she thought it no more than right that he should have that emount, for Mr. Taber had spent about $3000 on the house and had made Dr. Mer- ritt presents of lanterns and chandeliers and silver soapdishes for the yacht.”” Captain Frank Purrinton, the man with inside pocketfuls of diaries and other writ- ten aids to doubtful memory, took the wit- nessichair. “‘Stephen Purrington told me he hated ‘the boys’ and if he had his way they should never get a cent of rogeny. “In April, about a month after m ship left, T received $1100 from Mrs. Garcelon, as the equivalent of my primage on what the freight amounted to. Then in August I was paid again, a little over $10600 for primage.” ‘‘When did vou make that diary?” in- uired the wary Hayne, as the witness re- erred to it for a date. At the time.” “Itold herl would have to go back to my ship, as my time was almost up, and uh{ 8ai 'e: atuy;'—thlt she would pay me well. “I saw Captain Knowles and others, and they said $25,000 would be compensation for giving up my proiession, but when I came to talk with her I told her $10,000 and $2500 a year, which I thought little enough. . “Stephen said it was too much—it was exorbifant. and he would use his influence against it. g“Jud e Stanly afterward suggested $200 a month, cash down, and I was paid in November, but not the $10,000. *She said: ‘Frank, | have already left you $10,000 in my will, your wife $2000 and Mollie $1000, and with this you would have $23,000—a fortune.’ ‘Not a very large one,’ I replied. “‘Btephen said there was no money, 0 Mrs. Garcelon said I could have the Taber notes. Their face value was $9000, with interest amounting to about $225. “I could not realize on thenotes because of the promise 1 had made not to press Mr. Taber. I spoke to ‘Steve’ about them, and he said, ‘Sell them for anything you can get.’” But Judge Stanly said: ‘They’re worth more than the $10,000 to you. Take them to Marceau, the photographer, and he’ll give you a good deal more for them.’ “But I sold the notes for $5000. “‘After the doctor’s death Mrs. Garcelon never put on a dress about the house; she used to wear a wrapper. Before that she always dressed very nicely. “I'told her myself after *Jim’ was mar- ried that I was in a saloon with him. I was drinking soda or sarsaparilla, or some- thing of that kind. I never drank a glass of spirits in my life. She said she was glad the story was not so.”” “Didn’t you say,” began Hayne, “‘that you wanted that $10,000 for giving up your profession ?** “I did.” “And you said you wanted to hurry up the transaction for fear she would die?” “Ldid.” ‘“‘And so you had no compunction abont taking tbat sum for giving up your pro- fession for so short a time?”’ The witness tried to explain that he had lost the captaincy of his ship. In response to another question he replied: “After Mrs. Garcelon’s death the fellows around the water front kind of joshed me about it because I didn’t get more. I'm one of those hale fellows well met, and whatever I said back about being on the side where there was the most money was of course only in jest.” Judge Hayne pried a telegram out of the witness’ productive pockets. It was from Attorney Philbrook, asking him how much he wanted for expenses to bring his wife to the trial, that her testimony would fix the whole thing. And then the wit- ness tried to show that he would willingly travel across the continent simply for his expenses, but Hayne looked wise and pried him still further. At last when the uestion came, “What do you live on?”* the shipless captain came back very com- placently with, “‘I live on what I eat.” Elmira B. Merritt, mother of Harry Merritt, took the chair and explained that she was a double first cousin of Dr. Merritt, both thelr fathers and méthers having been brothers and sisters. Speaking of her long intimacy with Mrs. Garcelon wit ness said: *“She told me when the doctor’s will was read she thought she would fall off her chair; that she would rather have ‘the boys’ have half than have Henry Rodgers get one cent, ‘“‘She said when her nephew, Frederick, asked for $1600 once she certainly would hnvedgiven it to him if Stephen hadn’t ob- jected. “Stephen remarked to me once, ‘To tell the truth, the Judge and I made that will up in a day and a night; we had to, there were spiesall about.””” As the old lady was leaving the stand Judge Hayne leaned over and asked, “How old are you?” ‘“‘Threescore, if it is necessary for yon to know,” curtly responded the retiring witness. And then Rodgers saw his chance to play upon the Hayne genealogy. “‘That is not a very courteous question for a gentleman who comes from South Caro- lina’; and the shining pate of Attorney Philbrook glowed momentarily as he smiled at his colleague’s thrust at their opponent’s oft-mentioned Southern lene- age. %{r. Miller was on the stand some time, but he got only far enough to explain some of hdis dealings as executor of Stephen Purrington’s not particularly large or unincumbered estate when court adjourned until this morning.
