Mr. Figel’'s memory was very convenient, and to most of the quer- ies Iis answers were, ‘'l don’t remem- ber,” and “I don’t know.” The only | facts to which he could swear positively | were those to which he bad testified on | direct examination. | Mr. Ach asked if there had been a letter from Miner & Co. in the mail of the firn: | on the morning of June 1. An objection to this was overruled, but on the advice of General Barnes Figel re- | fused to answer the question on the | ground that it might have a tendency to incriminate him. For the same reason { he refused to say whecher he had opened i such a letcer or whether e had seen Mr. | | Josephis on that duv.

He swore posi- | tively that Mr. Heffman and he had been in Hoffman’s room at that time and that | they had not been in the conversation- | roowm near the telephone door. To Chief Lees on June 2 Figel said that this conversation had en place in the conversation-room. Mr. Ach read that| portion of the statement to the witness | and asked bim if he had said it.

Testimony in Proceedings Before Circuit Judge Morrow. the Opponents of His Ex-Client, Claims Justification in a Written Release From Bowers' Employment. Within a few days United States Circuit | Judge Morrow will decide the matter of the conduct of Lawyer John L. Boone, charged with having offered his services to his ciient’s opponents after be and his | client had agreed to cease their legal reia- tions. The investigation before Judge Morrow was concluded yesterday and the proceedings were witnessed by a large number of lawyers. Rank perjury, complete in all the legal | and moral elements, was committed dur- | ing the course of the present investiga- tions by either Mr. Boone or Mr. Bowers with referenca to a very material and im- portant point, namely, the alleged re- | moval by Mr. Bowers of a portion of one | of his models while the latter was in cus- tody of the Master of Chancery. Mr. Boone swore that the thing happened. Mr. They Talked and Talked but Reached No Conclusion at the Letter-Carriers’ Convention. President Psrsons was true to his promise to call the meeting to order promptly, and when the gavel dropped at scarcely two dozen delegates in the room. The afternoon session was by peneral agreement given up chiefly 1o the transaction of business relating to the Mutual Benefit Associa- tion. In the absence of the secretary the rollcall was dispensed with and Mr. Richards was appointed secretary pro tem. An amendment was offered to the constitution of the association rroviding that an assessment be levied each month on the members whether any deaths oc- curred during the month or not. Mr. Graham opposed the amendment, on the ground that in the end it would detract from the membership of the as- sociation and that it was but part of a scheme 10 limit the membership. Mr. Keniffe of Louisville favored the resolution, stating that in the past there had been an average of twelve asse ments a year, sometimes three month« elapsing without an assessment, while at other times there would be three in a month. On the whole, he thought it would be more agreeable 10 join an as- sociation where there was a stated amount to be paid each year ihan if the amount were uncertain. After much discussion pro and con 1t was finally decided to postpone action untul the matier of reserve fund was de- cided upon. Chairman Kent cf the board of trustees then introduced a resolution proyiding for the formation of a reserve fund by setting upart 10 per cent of each assessment. A motion was then made v have the wuole matter printea and forward copies to eacn branch for a referendum vote. This led to a long discussion, each dele- cate thinking it his duty to vut himsel! on record in the matter. The delegates were ail good speakers, but the time dragged along wearily, and before the last men had started their speech many of the | first speakers were quietly dozing in their seats Things weut on in this way for about an bour and a half, when Mr. Dunn of Nashville, who bad been quietly study- ing a copy of the constitution, suddeuly made the discovery that tne procecedines were out of order, as iti$ unconstitutional 10 submit a change in the coustitution to a referencum vote. This stuggered President Parsons and bhad the ecifect of waking up even the ~leepiest member and stariing the devate on the adoption of the resolution, the only diversior. being when a speaker wown on a point of order. Tui grew rather monotonous in time, however, as each speaker was called down in turn and finally the expedient of shutting down any man who exceeded the five-minute time limit was resorted to. This also proved to be a failure for so soon as a speak- v reminded that his time was vp a fel- low-partisan would grant him histime and the minutes lengthened into hours with- out any end being apparent and a sarcasti- cully inclined delegate movea thata mo- tion to ad jou vould be out of order any time before midnight. Mr. Grabam finally made a motion that all debate must close at 5 o’clock, when the resolution would ba teken up section by section and passed upon, which was { carried unanimously. Promptly at 5 o’clock the debate was closed and tte first section, which pro- vides for 10 per cent of all assessments he- ing sei aside for an emergency fund, was read and adopted. The second section, proviaing for the investment of the money in Government, State and municipal bonds, was amended 1o read the invest- ment be made in Government bonds only, and was adopted as amended. The third section, providing for the safe-keeping of tbe funds by the Nationel officers, was also adopted.

The last question that was asked of Boone on Tuesaay was as to what he meant by his statement in_a letter that the verdict in the case of Bowers against Von Schmidt had been obtaitied by fraud- | ulent meauns. Hisanswer this morning | was that the fraudulent means was the | concealinent by Mr. Bowers of the ep sude of tne incomplete model. This opened the gates for Mr. Thornton. He read copious extracts from Mr. Boone's testimony in the cese of Bowers vs. Von Schmidt, in which it appeared that Mr. Boone had not informed the court of tue | ep:sode of the broken model. Then Mr. Thornton charged upon him | and askea: That model was putinto your hands when you were on the siand in ihat case and you kuew that your client had committed a felony | and still vou swore that the model was in the | same condition as it was when first presented ? | Booue—I swore just as s stated In the tran- seript frcm which you have just read.

Mr. Boone, in answer to other ques- tions, swore that in April of this year he tiad asked Mr. Bowers to indorse a note for $2000. and that Mr. Bowers had re- fused to comply with that request. Boone admitted it might have been a week after that time that he had a talk with Samuel 1L Saleno, in which Boone was alleged to have made threats against Bowers’ inter- | ests in the patent cases. The witness said, | further, that the piece of the model which had dropped out was tne inner cylinder and that that cylinder was a necessary part of the model. Henry C. McPike, counsel for Boone, put Mr. Bowers on the stand, and tried to make nim swear that he was on terms ot intimacy with Mr. Pond, who was exam- iner of patents at Washington and would be presumed to be more or less under the influence of Bowers, but the atiempt was a failure, and Judge Morrow remarked that Mr. Pike was on a fisbing expedition, and that be would better pack up. his hooks and ine and take a rest. Theu Bowersswore point blank that the stutement of Boone regarding the broken model was absolutely fulse. Lawyer Miller, for Bowers, testified that | for an inner cylinder.

He Had Offered His Services to | Warrants Issued Against Her| More Than Six Months Ago Not Yet Served. Attorney Delmas Makes a Successful Flank Movement and E:capes Her Vigilance. Baroness vor Turkbeim put on her war- paint again yesterday morning and sal- lied forih in search of her enemy, Attor- ney D. M. Delmas. She caused a ripple of excitement by appearing in the City Hall accompanied by her attorney, W. H. Hutton. They wentinto Judge Conlan’s court and the Baroness surprised the Judge by aemand- ing that she be taken into custody on the two warrants issued in March | complaint of Louis Levy, a cle mas’ office. The warrants charged her with mali- cious mischief on the memorable occa- sion when she laid siege to Delmas’ office for a number of hours in the determina- tion to see him, and being balked in her desire she destroved busts of Demos- thenes, Cicero and Napoieon, and tore up several pictures on the walls and a num- ber ot letters and other papers. “Tne warrants are not here,” said the Juage, *and I know nothing about them. I would advise you tosee Chiel Lees, as he probably has the warrants in his posses- I sion.” 8! is holding these warrants over my head to intimidate me, and I insist on my rights as a citizen that they be sery d upon me so that I can get the cases disposed of.” upon Chief Lees, and he promised to look into the matter, although expressing the opinion that the warrants were not in the possession of the police. 1n the afternoon the Baroness returned to tne hall and made her appearance in the corridor outside Judge Slack’s cour!- room, where Deimas was deliyering his argument in the Fair will case. In view of the demonstration of the rrevious afternoon at Sixth and Jessie streets, puplished exclusively in THE CALL, there was a feeling of consternation among Delmas’ friends when it got whispered around that his tall Nemesis was waiting for him i the corridor. The portly Colonel Kowalsky left the courtroom, and as he passed the Baroness she threw an insulting remark at him and followed him along tne corridor. ‘The colonel went to police headquarters and asked 10 see the Chief, who happened to be out. He was ushered into Captain Bohen’s presence and demanded as a citi- zen protection from the Barouess. Tie cuptain sent Policeman Wallace with the coionel 10 see that he was prop- erly protected, but when they reached Judge Slack's courtroom the Baroness had disappeared, having been induced to leave by, it wassaid, Martin Kelly’s friends. Fearing that she might be lurking some- whete outside the City Hall a hack was cailed into requiition, and when court adjourned Delmas, protected by two de- tectives and Attorney Ruef, left the basement to the waiting haci. Fortunately for the peace of the com- munity, the tall Baroness was not in sight, much to the disappointment of a crowd that had gathered in the expecta- tion of a scene. Two Small l"uill;rci.

An Interesting Programme Pro- ! vided by the Lincoln Monu-~ % ment League. Soldiers and Sailors Will Engage in Many Friendly Con- tests. The Lincoln Monument Leazue prom- ises an entertainment at the Presidio to- day which will be a credit to the worthy purposes of the organization, to the day celebrated and to the loyal members of the patriotic society. A meeting of the general committee of the league was held at 102 O’Farrell street last evening to per- fect final arrangements for to-day’s tour- nament and the reports of the committees showed everything in readiness for a grand celebration. | The participants are to be exclusively from the United States army and navy and the sports will be such as savor of things military. The mounted so!diery at the Presidio can do some wonderful things with their horses, and they can make their norses do wonderful things. The infantry have some unique and interesting contests, and the artillery’s spare wheel race is said to be a marvelous performance. There will be morning and afternoon | proerammes. The former will commence | a1 9:45 and the latter at 1:45. Tne affair | is military, and that means promptness. The morning's programme consists of 100-yards run, broadswcrd contest spare wheel race, mounted gvmnustics, boxing for points, fencing broadswords, un de- | tachment contest, wall scahng 10 feet, shoe race, 100-yards run, broadsword con- equipment race, shelter tent novelty, 120-yards hurdles, arivers’ contest, fenc- | ing broadsword, squad race.

The Lincoln Monument League has come to stay. From the time the idea originated in the brain of its present president the association has grownj steadily in public favor. Something of this phenomenal vigor may be due to the sturdy character of the men who have its existence in charge, some to the prestige of the Grand Army of the Republic, which has stood sponsor for the league, but more than all, the name of Abraham Lincoln has been the vitalizing element in the association. Abraham Lincoln was essentialiy a man of. the common people; he lived with them and toiled among them, and his tenderest sympathies lingered lovingly in the rude cabin of the humble poor. it is a knowledge of this pure humanitarianism | that makes the name of the great emanci- pator a talismanic charm that opens every heart. The Lincoln League commenced operations in March of this year; since | then its membership has zrown to over | ten thousand, with a fund of nearly three Yzhomand dollars, safeiy invested in the | bank.
