Carter on August 15, 156, at the University Club in this city and there conferred with him as to specifications for certain work to be done at Savannah. He was cross-exam- ined and excused. The prosecution then sprang a decided surprise on counsel for the defendants by calling to the witness stand Robert T. Westcott, former Captain O. M. Carter's father-in‘law. During Captain Carter's court-martial he claimed that many of | the bonds and securities in his possession and which he hypothecated for various sums of money had been placed in his/| hands by Westcott, and he also claimed | {a power of attorney from his father-in- | law. During the proceedings of the board of inquiry Mr. Westcott went to Europe.

The crew never left the ship, for she lies as steady as a rock in the surf, and the cap- tain ieft her only to telephone in for a tug in order that ail possible may be done to save her. | The Neptune left port yesterday at 12. She was bound in ballast for Houda under Captain Conrad Johnson. As she went | out through the heads the wind failed her | and she commenced to drift to the south- | ward. A strong flood tide was running | and in one of the cross currents that it | makes down the Beach below the Cliff House the luckless schooner was caught. She drifted about all the afternoon and | at dusk was well down the beach. Her captain was not anxious about her untii th cliffs below the life-saving station abeam. Then he tried to come about. ere was not wind enough to bring th vessel out, however, and she only -wal- lowed in the swells, getting nearer and | nearer to the shore every minute.

Johnson and the two men with him | struggled in the surf until the men on the | schooner could throw lines to them, and by the time they got aboard again the schooner was upon the beach and working farther in shore with every wave that | ran past her. H | She struck stern first, but soon the rol- | lers turned her broadside to and in that ! position she is settling fast into the sand. | ‘While she was still outside the breakers | the lookout on the hill near the South | Bide Life-saving Station saw her, and be- | fore she struck the lifeboat under Captain Smith was bearing down on her.

The Neptune is a schooner of 184 tons gross, built in Eureka eighteen years ago Market street, in this city. She has been in the coast trade since she was bulilt. She was to load shingles at Houda, near | Humboldt Bay, for Newport, on the south- ern coast. She is valued at $6000, and but | recently ehe was on the drydock, where she was repaired to the extent of $1000. The place where the Neptune went ashore is a particularly dangercus bit of bea especially in the kind of weather and under the ¢ ndi‘ions that existed when the schooner left port. There is a reef running out from the beach which the schooner escaped, but the flood tide makes an eddy there that is sure to bring a vessel in shore if there be no wind, and the fact is proved that it sets in strong enough to drag two anchors. On July 4, 187, the schooner John Fred- erick went ashore at almost the exact spot where the Neptuné now lles. The Frederick was a total loss. And two and a half vears ago the ship Enoch Talbot, | under similar conditions, was driven in- side the reef by the current, but a timely breeze saved her. Mission Democrats Meet.

He came here this afternoon accompanied by a negro who hore a large satchel. When stopped at the front door by Usher Mit- chell, he presented a slip of paper bear- ing this inseription: ‘‘Professor Figuccia presents this projectile to the President Of the Tnited States,” i He took out of the satchel a very heavy projectile and a long wire and explained | that the pushing of the wire through a | hole which had heen bored in the end of | the projectile’s nose would causé a big | explosion.

R AR GEORGETOWN, Ky., Aug. 10.—Mrs. | John Davis, the wife of ome of the de- | fendants charged with being an accessory to the Goebel assassination, was the first witness introduced by the defense in the | Powers trial to-day. Powers boarded at her house. John Powers was also there on January 25. She testified that the lat- ter was {il in his room at her house that day, and did not leave his room after 11 o'clock. This was in contradiction of the testimony of Robert Noakes, who told of an alleged conversation with. John Powers at the State House, in which, he said, the latter told him to ‘“stay close to the building, as something was going to | happen as soon as Goebel and those fel- | lows came down." 1 Solomon Wilder of Whitely County | testified that Robert Noakes was at Cor- Mrs. ! bin in_March and asked him not to tell | anybody he was in town as he might be | arrested in connection with the assassin ation conspiracy. | On cross-examination it developed that | ‘Wilder went to Frankfort in December with Noakes and the other armed moun- | tain men at the time of the meeting of the | State Election Commissioners. oakes gave him and the other men their trans- portation. He did not go to Frankfort | with the two trainloads of mountaineers in which Noakes and hjs company went | January 25, but heard them when they re- | turned. Witness said they were drunk | and firing their guns promiscuously, Golden picked out of the muster roll of Noakes' company the names of a num- ber of members of the company. Witness told of various crimes for which they had been tried, making the charge in se eral Instances. On direct_examination Wilder testified that John L. Jones of the Noakes Com- rany was a man of good character. On cross-examination he said Jones had twice been convicted of murder and sen- tenced in each c;iu to life imprisonment, was pardoned. m"lshe Gefense then asked to be allowed | to ofer as evidence the act of the Legis- lature appropriating $100,000 \for the pur pose of aiding in the search for and prose- cution of the assassins of Willlam Goebel. | The prosecution offered no objection, and | the act was made a part of the testimony. | Walter Day, former Republican State | Treasurer, testified that Youtsey sent for him the day before the shooting. He went to see Youtsey, and the latter told him that for $300 he would settle the contest. Witness pressed Youtsey to know how he would accomplish it, but the latter would only say that for that amount he would settle it. Witnees said to Youtsey, “I am not that kind of a man,” and refus to confer longer with Youtsey about it. On_cross-examination a letter written by Day_to Secretary of State Hill was roduced. The defense objected to it be- ing introduced and the jury was excluded during argument. In e letter Day states: “1 will make a good witness for the commonwealth and T want you to go see the prosecuting attorney, nklin, and tell him I want to be on the stand and tell all T know about the case.” etter expresses the opinion that Youtsey was the Eullty DArty.
