He picked out the wora ‘“be- queath” that appeared in the will. He fell into the hands of Mr. Foote, who had asked permisston of the court to ask the witness a question or two. Mr. Foote, it soon developed, had found some ‘‘bequeaths” that the Gumpel trac- ing did not fit, and he took the expert { sharpiy to task for attempting to lead the jury astray. Gumpel became somewhat rattled and that it was a good fit. 'Oh, it is, is it?’ said Mr. Foote. “Well, we will see about that.” The attorney placed the tracing over one of the words under discussion and handed it to the jury. It was easily ob- | served tkat there was haif an inch of dif- ference in the length of the two words, and b utlittle similarity otherwise. That was a bard ons on Gumpel, and Mr. Foote smiled tr.umphantly. Gumpe! consumed the remainder of the forenoon session in attempting (o demon- strate on the blackboard tue truth of his assertion that the ‘‘pencil’” will was put queath,” traced it, and then told the jury | that his tracing would fit to a nicety every | was getng along swimmingly until be | their heht to have their trade recognized in the building of roofs in this City.

When at the Emmanuel Church last Sunday she | asked P. D. Code, the superintendent of the Sunday-school, to allow her to in- spect the library and the belfry where the murders were committed. Superintend- ent Code, however, refused her permis- sion. Sbe explained as the reason for her request that she intended to deliver a pub- lic lecture on the Durrant case next week, and wished to be thoroughly posted. In her quest of information, Mrs. Martin bas aiso addressed Pastor Gibson, Miss Daisy Wolfe and others. Dr. Gib<on has made no statement re- cently in reference to his intention to re- maining with or leaving Emmanuel Church, Sscretary Lynch, who arrived from the East a few davs ago, does not bave to return until late in the fall, and be has declared his intention of remain- ing as long as Dr. Gibson needs him. So | the pastor may indefinitely postpone his | resignation. Governor Buad will be busy all day con- | ferring with Durrant'sattorneys. He will probably render his decision on the pe- tition for commutation of sentence on Thursday, or Fridav atthe latest. At the same time he will give his decision in the Worden case, Captain Lees is not seeking Governor Budd in the matter, but is willing to afford him any information in bis power.

Mrs. Carrie Dimond 1s pursuing her stage ambition with unabat-d interest in spite of the fact ihat she was not quite pleased with the management of her en- gagement in this City. “The stage is tiue only thing I see abead,” said Mr<, Dimond yesterday, “an1 Iam now compelled to earn my way, so I intend to continue in my chosen prof sion.”” Mrs. Dimond has not vet decided wuether she will go on the road or accept a position in San Francisco, but she is in- clined to remain here. “It is far easier to remain here,’ said she yesterday ‘‘than to count ties afoot irom some distant point back here again, so I think I shall remain here. I have nad several offers to remain in local thea- ters and I may remain right here,"” second clas«. Theroad claimed that the Southern Pacific was at a disadvantage, in that it wasn’t gefting its proper propor- tion of travel. The Oregon Railway and Navigation rates were then $12and $6 re- spectively. ‘When the latter company saw what the | Southern Pacific had done, it promptly reduced its rates to $10and $5 respectively. Yesterday the Southern Pacific Com- pany made a fourth reduction. General Passenger Agent Goodman had just re- turned irom the transcontinental meeting in Chicago, and no doubt when he de- bouched on the scene he thought he would add his weightto Mr. Judah’s efforts to make the situation more nteresting. He decided that beginning on Friday next and remalning in force every five days thereafter the original $21 rate should be slashed to $15, and the $14 to $10. A big placard was hung up in tue Southern Pa- cific ticket office in the Grand Hotel an- nouncing the further cut. Tue news spread around the railroad and steamship offices and was the general tbeme of con- versation. Mos: everybody thought there was a beautiful fight on. Assistant Passenger Agent Judah, who was delegated as spokesman for (he South- ern Pacific, spoke briefly about the situa- tion. “The steamship company saw fit to meet our reduction,” he said, “‘and this leaves us in the same condition we were in before, and forces us to make a further reduction to get our share of the business We do not desire to force an issue, but we have got to be recognized. “‘We have no idea what the steamer people may do. There is still a wide dif- fersntial in favor of the steamers, as, for instance, their first and second class rates are stili §5 under the rail or land rate. As to a rate war it all depends.” Mr. Ju:ah also announced another new feature that caused lively comment in traffic circles. It is the putting on of & daily tourist-car from Chicago via Sacra- mento to Portland, which can be used by passengers without change, and where a special conductor and porier will hold sway. 'L'his car is expected to catch lots of travel and prove a great convenience, and the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company doesn’t seem to like it a bit. *This will make the situation decidedly sporty,” said F. F. Connor, the agent of the Oregon Railway and Naviiation Com- pany. *It will just about compsl us to make arrangements with our connecting lines and do the same thinz ourselyes. We will use our own road from Portland to Huntinglon, and from there to Ogden can pool with the Uregon Short L ne; from there 1o Denver we can use the Dn- ver and Rio Granda Western and Denver and Rio Grande; from Denve: to Chicago we can use either the Rock Island, the Burlington, or one other road. ‘*As to the steamer business we now bave rates of $10 and $5, respectively, since we made our reduction, and our next cut will probably be to $5 and $250 unless it shouid be thought beiter to make it by succes-ive stages. “The situation presents many com- plications and I cannot yet say what we will do, but the O. R. and N. Company will at least try to hold its own and get its share of the business. That's what it was orzanized for. It need be no surpnise if Mr. Halbert, the gereral agent in Port- iand, telegraphs asking that another cut be made,”” / | court when Manuel Casin was called charge of betrayal. Casin is an aristocratic Spaniard, and a facior in Central American politics. Atter peing erresied Monday afternoon on Montgomery sireet he was stripped at the volice’ station of all his jewelry ana money, the value of which ‘would have mply paid his vail excepiing the red-rape regulations prohibiting such trunsactions. As a consequence Casin, unable (o com- munpicate with his friends, remained in the calaboose all night, and was con- fronted with his accusers in the morning in Judge Low’s court. Miss Gregoria Velasco and Manuel Casin, her alleged betrayer, gazed upon each other with positive amuzement, “I don’t know that woman,”’ asserted Casin, “That is not Cassino,” declared the woman, Judge Low was at a loss to know what |oldn until he listened to Policeman Robi's tale, He had been intrusted with a warrant for the arrest of Manuel Cassino, and Manuel Casin had been pointed out to im on Montgomery street. The dis- crepancy in the name, according to the officer was but a clerical error, so he used the rubber at the end of his pencil to cor- rect matters by wiping out an “s’ in the middle and an *‘0” at the end of the name **Cas-ino.” “This case is dismissed,” Judge Low ordered. ‘Officer, you have arrested the wrong man.” The case will not be aliowed to rest there, however, ii the proud Spaniard has his sav.

Gumpel said that in his judzment this particular word was an- other copy. By means of his “spygiass,” as Mr. Foote always calls it, he thought he could detect evidences of the word baving been pieced together and after- ward retouched. The expert got mixed up with Mr. Foote over this tracing. ‘The attorney had been making: somé more comparitons himself and hai1 found that Gumpel's tracing did not fit one of the words “dollars’ at all, He lost no time in catling attention to the discovery. Gumpel shifted the trac- ing zround and around in an_effort to remedy the discrepancy, but Mr. Foote pushed him away from the table and de- manded that the jury take another look at the tracing and the original. This the sourt ordered done. Gumpel wanted to explain and being granted the privilege said that the person who executed the pencil will could have traced part of the word at one time and part at another. For this reason he said the gelatine tracing would not jibe with it unless it was shifted so as to make two comparisons—that is, separate com pari- sons of each half of the word. “But you have sworn here that this word 1s not a tracing at all; you have sworn that it i3 a copy,” declared Mr. Foote. Gumpel squared himself by acknowledg- ing that be meant ‘‘copy” instead of “tracing,” but he could not convince Mr., Foote that his experiment with thet word “dollars’” was ia any way a success or that it would work with the jury. At this juncture of the proceeding Asso- ciate Counsel Wheeler made a formal re- quest that the piaintiff be permitted to make an elaborate experiment and demon- stration in court for the purpose of lend- ing support 1o their claim that various words in the will had been traced. What he proposed to do was to have each juror write his name ten times, and then have Gumpel show with his gelatine that in no case would any two of them be found THE TILL-TAPPERS, Two of the Gang Positively Identified by a Couple of Their Victims, Frank Cain and Peter Ellis, two of the men arrested last week on suspicion of tapping tills in the stores south of Market sireet, have been identitied by John Holden of 869 Market sireet, where they ecured $32, and by G.
