Sensational Statements Made
in the Senate.
ATTITUDE TOWARD THE TAGAL
Declared the Government Waa Guilty
of the Grohhcmt Treachery Fi-
nancial Debate Postpone!.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. During a dis
cussion today of a resolution of inquiry
offered by Pettigrew, of South Dakota,
some sensational statements were made
In the senate regarding the attitude of the
United States toward the FiliplnD insur
gents, Pettigrew declared that the gov
ernment had attacked Its allies, and there
by had been guilty of the grossest treacn
ery. This statement was resented warm
ly by Dodge of Massachusetts, -who de
clared that this government had done
nothing of the kind, and that, not even
remotely, had it recognized the so-called
government of the Filipinos.
Morgan of Alabama discussed at length
the race question in the South, basing his
remarks upon a resolution offered by
Pritchard, republican, of North Carolina.
He maintained that to attempt to force the
black race Into a social and political equal
ity with the white race was only to clog
the progress of all mankind.
The house today ordered two Investiga
tions as a result of resolutions introduced
by Representative Dentz, of Ohio. The
first is to be an investigation by the com
mittee n postoffices and post roads into
the charge that two federal appointees of
the president John C. Graham, of Provo
City, Utah, and Postmaster Orson Smith,
of Logan, Utah are -under indictment as
polygamists, and whether affidavits to that
effect were on file at the time of their
appointment. The other is a general in
vestigation of the military committee Into
the conduct of General Merriam and tno
United States army officers during the
Wardner, Idaho, riots and subsequent
thereto. The house adjourned until
Wednesday-
THE DAY IX DETAIL.
Census and Philippine Matters In
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S. In the senate
today McLaurin (dem. S. C.) gave notice
of an amendment to the pending finan
cial bill repealing the tax on the circu
lation of state banks.
Carter (rep. Mont.) reported from the
census committee a bill conferring on the
director of the census power to employ a
purchasing agent, at a salary of ?2500; two
chiefs of division, at salaries of 52000;
five clerks of the fourth class, six of class
6 and eight of class 2, and special agents,
not to exceed 35, to gather special infor
mation relating to agriculture. He asked
immediate consideration for the bill, but
It went to the calendar on objection.
Hoar (rep. Mass.) gave notice of an
amendment to the proposed bill provid
ing that statitlcs be gathered by the cen
sus force relating to the water power of
the country.
Pettigrew (sll. S. D.) announced that he
would offer an amendment providing for
the gathering and tabulation of statistics
in regard to the distribution of wealth,
lie regarded it as particular to "ascertain
who reaps the benefit of the toll of labor."
A resolution by Allen (pop. Neb.) calling
upon each cabinet officer for an itemized
statement of the amount of the $50,000,000
defense fund each department expended
was adopted.
A resolution calling on the secretary of
the navy for Admiral Dewey's report, in
which he stated be could take Manila at
any time, offered by Pettigrew, was adopt
ed. A resolution, offered by Pettigrew some
time ago, requesting the secretary of war
for information of an alleged interview
betweon General Torres,, of the Filipino
aqmy, and General Otis, came up. Lodge
(rjijp. Mass.) offered a substitute resolu
tion asking the president, if not incom
patible with public interests, to furnish
general Information regarding the Phil
ippine insurrection contained in official
documents and dispatches.
Pettigrew accepted Lodge's resolution.
He said: "If we have attacked an ally,
it is Important that the representatives
of the people in congress should know
Hmj facts, and at once. I believe we have
attacked an ally. I believe we have been
guilty of gross treachery. I believe we
have gone further in dishonor toward an
ally fighting with us than any other na
tion ever went."
Stewart (sil. Nev.) thought this was past
the time for a discussion of bow the In
surrection began. "It has begun," said
2ie. "It is now my country's cause, and
I do not propose to admit it is a wicked
cause."
Lodge said he could not even by silence
'admit that the statements of Pettigrew
were -accurate. "I do not believe we at
tacked an ally," said he. "I am Bure
we never recognized the Filipino govern
ment. They had no government, except
the government of a dictator set up by
liimself to impose his authority on other
tribes. The president has acted through
out In conformity with the law, and the
facts will uphold bis course. These facts
I am in favor of having placed in the
hands of all senators. They will strength
en the hands of the administration."
The resolution of Pettigrew went over
Tintil Wednesday, and Morgan (dem. Ala.)
took the floor to speak on the political
conditions in the Southern states.
At 2 o'clock the financial bill became the
regular order, and Aldrich (rep. R. L)
said he hoped some general understanding
could be reached as to the disposition of
th bill.
Jones (dem. Ark.) replied that there was
no disposition on the democratic side to
delay the bill. "We recognize," said he,
''that you have the majority and can pass
the biiL" Jones asked, however, that
there be no pressing action, as senators
wore not ready to speak. Aldrich there
upon asked that the bill go over for the
day.
Stewart gave notice that he would speak
Thursday on the bill.
Morgan then resumed his speech, which
was directed against the Pritchard res
olution, which condemns racial restric
tions on suffrage and attacks the new
constitution of the state of North Car
olina. He first spoke on the legal aspect
of the 14th and 15th amendments to the
constitution as affecting negro suffrage
-and. the necessity of adopting some course
that would prevent a repetition of the
Hayes-Tilden controversy. He then dis
cussed the negro question in general,
maintaining that there Is a natural su
premacy of the whites and a natural de
iiciency of the blacks, morally, socially
and intellectually. Morgan said that no
great body of white people in the world
could be expected to accept quietly a sit
uation so distressing and demoralizing as
is created by negro suffrage in the South.
Morgan declared that in many places in
the South thousands of necrro votes, in
doubtful counties, -with little concealment, -
wwb uouKiit jqr it eacn.
If Southern 'white men," said he, "have
falsified election returns they have the
stronger, if not the better, reason that
they are acting upon the same law of
eotf-defense that insulted and outraged
human nature resorts to for the protection
of homos and families from a rate that
sets at defiance all moral restrictions
upon their brutal desires."
This evil, he thought, would end only
when the United States bad provided a
home for the negro race suited to their
traits.
A bill amending the dependent act of
June 27, 1S98. was called up and explained
by Gallinger (rep. N. H.). The two amend
ments proposed by the bill were that
widows 'Who Slave -an income of ?250 in ex-
cess of their dally wages should be pen
sionable under the act, and authorizing
the commissioner of pensions to aggregate
the disabilities of an applicant in fixing
bis pensionable status.
In the course of a protracted discussion
of the general pension question, a dis
cussion -which tookr&rwlde range,1 Teller
(sll. CoK) said he was not appalled by the
fact 'that "S140.000.000rannually. was paid by
'the government to" pensioners. He was
certain that more men were- off the pen
sion rolls who ouht to be on than were
-69 and ought to tfe off. --
line ffiu was amenaea so as to proviae
that in case the widow should bave "re
sources," Instead of an "income," from
which $250 a year is derived or derivable,
she should be pensionable, and further,
that the bill does not apply to widows who
have married former soldiers since June
27, 1S90. The bill, as amended, was
.passed,
A bill was also passed providing that a
-widow's pension shall commence with
the application, and not at the date of the
soldier's death, and. construing a section
of the dependent pension act.

journed. In the Honse.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal in the house today, Dalzell
(rep. Pa.), from the committee on rules,
reported back the resolution introduced
last week by Lentz (dem. O.) for an In
vestigation by the committee appointed
to investigate the case of Representative
elect Roberts of charges that John G.
Graham, postmaster of Provo, Utab, and
Anderson Smith, postmaster at Logan,
Utab, were guilty of polygamus prac
tices, with the recommendation that it
pass amended so as to provide that the
investigation shall be made by the com
mittee on postofflces and postroads, In
stead of by the special committee.
Wheeler (dem. Ky.) remarked that, in
liis opinion, the resolution for an investi
gation was a pure piece of political bun
combe. "The president has full power in
the premises," said Wheeler, "and there
is no necessity ior congressional inves
tigation." The resolution was passed
withput division.
Grosvenor rep. O.) then reported back
from the committee on rules another res
olution, introduced" by Lentz, for an In
vestigation by a special committee of the
action -of General Merrlainaand.jthe mil
ftia in. the Wardner, Idaho.-jnlnlng riots,
and their course in preveiitingSlfe em
ployment of union miners, wlth 1l recom
mendation that it "be amended so as to
provide that the Investigation shall be
made by the military committee of the
house. Instead of a special committee.
The resolution, as amended, was adopted
without division.
Thursday next, after 11 o'clock, was set
apart for eulogies on the late Represen
tative Danforth, of Ohio; Wednesday for
eulogies on the late Representative Green,

Then, at 12:30, the house adjourned until

Description of the Battle.
LONDON, Jan. 8. The first account giv
ing an adequate explanation1 of General
Buller"s defeat at the Tugela river comes
by mail from Bennett Burleigh, the Dally
i Telegraph s correspondent.
It appears that the battle orders drawn
up by General Clery provided for the ef-
J fectlve support of the artillery by Hart's,
Barton s and Dundonald's brigades. Gen
eral Hart missed his way, Lord Dundon
ald failed to support, and General Barton
got part of his forces in an untenable po

outpaced the escort of the guns, and they
were lost. Briefly, this seems to be the
story of the Tugela river. But through
the graphic columns there continually re
curs the discovery of the unexpected en
trenchmentsand the awful fusillades from
hidden Boers and gallantry such as has
seldom marked British battlefields. After
describing how the British force began
their advance at daylight, and how the
Boers left them absolutely unmolested,
the correspondent says:
"At 6:20 there suddenly burst an awful
crash of Boer musketry upon the batter
ies and advancing infantry. The rattle of
the Mausers swelled, and was maintained
as one continuous roar. From the build
ings and lines of trenches outh of the
river, and from the river bank Itself, the
Boers fired at our gunners and footmen,
and from the trenches on the' northern
side of the Tugela river and Fort Wylie
and elsewhere they sent ou a hurricane
of leaden hail and bullets venomously
rained on the ground, in all directions,
raising puffs of dust and tearing through
the air with shrill sounds.
"Few have ever seen so heavy and so
deadly a fusillade, but neither the British
gunners nor the infantry hesitated or
winced. Cannon were wheeled Into posi
tion, although many; of the horses and
men were shot down ere the maneuver
was completed, and "our Indomitable sol
diers walked erect and straight onward.
Not even Rome, in her palmiest days,
ever possessed "oredevptedssoldiers. As
the gladiators marched proud and smil
ing to meet death, so our soldiers, doomed
to die, saluted, and with alacrity stepped
forward to do their duty 'glory or the
grave. Anglo-Saxon soldiers always ad
vance that way. I asked an American
who had seen warfare in Cuba and Ma
nila, if his own countrymen generally did
this, and he answered, 'Yes, It is marvel
ous, but wasteful.'
"Closer and closer walked the soldiers
to the Boer trenches, until within 400
yards of the nearest rifle pits. Then, ly
ing down, they returned the fire, but there
was little or nothing to aim at.
"The Irish brigade had driven the Boers
to the north bank of the Tugela. They
found that the enemy had planted the
ground with barbed wire. Even in the
bed of the river barbed wire was laid
down. Into the water went the Dublins,
Innlskilllns, Borderers and Connaughts,
but it was found that the Boers had
dammed the river at the ford," where or
dinarily It was but knee-deep. They
strove to find the crossings, and many a
fine fellow, with his weight of ammuni
tion and accoutrements, was drowned.
"It was a desperate and serious situa
tion. The attack on the right was mak
ing progress, and the hearts of the men
had reached an apparent Impasse. But
there were furious and angry Irishmen,
who had resolved to get across solhehow.
By dint of scrambling from rock to rock
and swimming, a number won the other
side. Yet most of them found that they
had but passed across a winding spruit.
The Tugela still lay in front, and all the
while the murderous fire of cannon and
Mauser crashed and comrades fell welter
ing in their blood.
"In the meanwhile Colonel X,ong had
lost his guns, and Generals Buller and
Clery, with their staffs and escorts, had
ridden to the scene. The spouting hail
of iron and lead spluttered and snapped,
and the dust puffed more than ever,
"Lord Roberts' son, with Captain Scho
field and Captain Congrove, volunteered
to ride out and endeavor to save the two
field batteries in the open. Readily, other
volunteers were found. Corporals, from
the line, men and drivers of the ammuni
tion wagons taking spare teams, galloped
out. and men and horses again began
falling on every side. Young Roberts'
horse was .blown up with a shell. Con
grove was hit by a bullet, and his clothes
were cut by other missiles. Schofield
alone escaped untouched. Across that
valley of death quickly the surviving ani
mals were rounded up, and the guns were
hooked and dragged away.
"Again an attempt was made to rescue
the remaining guns, but the Boer fire was
incessant and withering. At 4 the battle
was over, (jenerai suuer aoanuoneu tne
guns and retreated."
BULLER'S OPPORTUNITY.
Patience r.nil ShJH in Maneuvering
Should Carry Hlra to Ladytimith.
NEW YORK, Jan. S. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
General Buller's opportunity for an ef
fective display of 'Strategy has come, and,
it Is to be hoped, not too late. The hussars
and the battery of field artillery for which
ho has been waiting while Ladysmlth was
In deadly peril are now at the front, and he
has every available man, gun and horse
and mule. General Joubert's army is mak
ing a belated and desperate attempt to
carry Ladysmlth by incessant bombard
ment and a deliberato and persistent at
tack in front, according to the latest news
from Ladysmlth. What the emergency re
quires I a cautious and Tapid, yet far
sighted, plan of operations, like that
adopted by Wellington in the peninsula.
There may be another reverse if the tac
tics of the previous battle are repeated.
But a dea'sive victory may be expected
with confidence if General Buller does not
attempt to do a week's work during a sin-
gle day, and bas the patience and skill for
maneuvering far afield, turning the en
emy's position, and cutting of his ret: tat
northward and westward. No British gen
eral since "Waterloo has ever Hal so Bril

Veterans at the military service clubs
were intensely anxious over la news rrom
Ladysmlth, and some of them commented,
adyersely upon the apparent lack of co
operation between Buller and White at
the critical stages of the campaign, al
though they were in dally communication
with each other. General W'li.e was

These comments h.ul a sterner, even an
grier, tone toward midnight when the war
office gave out anothar bulletin from Bul
ler, with two hours' later news from White.
It was brief, but tenili'v to the point.
The Boer attack had been renewed Sat

General French r"3J-tta the situation at
Colesburg unchanged, Saturday, but
General Fores.tier-Walker, In a bulletin Is
sued last night by the war office, gave an
unpleasant account of what was described
with official euphemism as an "accident."
Fpur companies of the First Suffolk were
sent at nigtit to attack the enemy on a
low hill one mile from their camp. Colonel
Watson, who was in command, was
wounded after ordering the troops to
charge, and the bugle call for a ret-evt
was sounded, apparently by the Bors
themselves, a trick which has been playd
.before during ihe campaign. Three com
panies retreated to the camp In good ordtr,
but the fourth v. as caught behind, sli
rounded by the enemy, and 70 men, In
cluding seven officers, were taken prison

"W. T. Stead Makes Another Attack
on Chamberlain.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8. A dlspatdh to the
World from London says:
W. T. Stead publishes a letter, in' which
he says:
"The correspondence of the colonial of
fice In the Jameson-Rhodes conspiracy
may open the eyes of the British nation
to the original sources of all the present
suffering. Why should Chamberlain have
had reason to fear the story coming out?
That he did so is assumed as a matter per
fectly well known to Lord Grey, who was
a close friend of Chamberlain. Possibly
he was even more well known. A Cape
politician wrote me the other day declar
ing that ' he was satisfied that it was
through Lord Grey that all the more con
fidential communications passed between
Rhodes and Chamberlain.".
Mr. Stead then quotes from the corre
spondence heretofore made public to show
that Mr. Chamberlain insisted that tne
Uitlanders should operate under the Brit
ish flag. Then he shows:
"The Americans and liberal burghers
who were willing to risk their lives for a
legitimate revolution under the Transvaal
flag absolutely refused to take part In a
movement intended to jump the Trans
vaal for England. Rhodes realized better
than Jameson how fatally the flag ques
tion had paralyzed Johannesburg. Hence
he never approved of the raid that was
undertaken by Jameson on his own ic
sponslbility under the goad of what he
knew was the desire of Chamberlain.
"By consenting to the conspiracy of
falsehood before the select committee to
palm off upon the world the hollow lie
that Chamberlain and the foreign office
knew nothing whatever of the Rhodes
Jampson conspiracy, both parties In the
state made, the mission accomplices in the
lie. The lie Is now coming home to
Rhodes."
Hott a German Shipowner Views It.
HAMBURG, Jan. 8. Herr Adolph
Woermann, one of the owners of German
vessels seized by the British, was in
terviewed today by a representative of the
Associated Press. He said:
"The last one taken is the Herzog. She
has on board Dutch, Belgian and German
ambulance corps. All these were travel
ing bona fide under the Red Cross. It is
certainly the first time such a corps has
been detained by a hostile government.
Their services were offered to the Brit
ish, but were refused. We cannot help
interpreting the action of the British as
chiefly Intended to prevent the German
East African line from continuing its serv
ice on account of competition wo have
made against English lines."
Anti-British Coalition.
LONDON. Jan. 9 The Berlin corre
spondent of the Daily News, in a dispatch
dealing at some length with the questions
of the seizures of German vessels by Brit
ish .warships, says':
"It cannot be denied that the idea of
an anti-British coalition is very popular
here. Hopes are now placed in Russia.
Without being pessimistic, I must say
that the present juncture Is extremely
critical. Ag,matters stand, only the fact
that no power wishes to take the initia
tive prevents such a coalition from being
brought about."

R. Burnham, of this city, has been ap
pointed to the personal staff of Lord Rob

the field against the Boers, and will pro

Burnham was principal aid to Jameson in

such was the case. He said his sole pur
pose in undertaking the exposure of brib
ery in the legislature that elected Clark
was to protect the good name of the
state.
"I desired," he said, "to have some one
accept the money so as to expose the
methods of Clark."
"Did you become a friend of Clark's
friends for the purpose of entrapping
them?"
"I can't say exactly, but I suppose I
did."
- "In. doing this, did not ypu know you
were assuming an attitude of misrepre
sentation?" "I did."
"Was not this a position of falsehood?"
"I can't say as to that, but I had to
make a number of misrepresentations."
"What do you consider a He?"
"I consider it a misstatement to one
who has a right to know the truth. Not
to one who has no right to know it."
Whiteside said he did not see how any
honest man could vote for Clark, after
the exposure of the committee on inves
tigation, and said under pressure that re
mark applied to 54 members who cast
their votes for that gentleman. He said,
in reply to a question, that Marcus Daly
was an acquaintance of his, not a friend,
though he should be glad to have bim for
a friend.
"Have you received $35,000 for this pre
tended exposure?" asked Faulkner.
"I have not received $35,000, or any sum
for that service."
Whiteside replied, relating to his con
versation with Clark prior to the latter's.
election, that he was positive Clerk him
self said, among other things, that State
Senator Anderson could not be Influenced
with money like some of the other mem
bers, and that this statement was not
made by Wellcome, as appeared in the
printed report of his testimony before
the grand Jury of Lewis and Clark coun
ty. The witness said money to pay for
the present prosecution had been raised
by subscription, and ho understood that
Daly was one of the subscribers to the
fund.
Cross-examination further brought out
that the witness had no personal knowl
edge of the bribery in the case of the
three members of the assembly who had
been referred to.
At noon the committee took a recess
until 2:30 P. M.
When the hearing was resumed, the
cross-examination of Whiteside was con
tinued. The main direction of the ques
tioning was to bring out points of differ
ence between the w'ltness' statements now
and those made before the grand jury.
One of the questions brought out a new
statement from Whiteside that his knowl
edge that the bribery was going on was
confirmed when a party to the transac
tion took from liis pocket a roll of bills
and said: "That's what we fdo the busi
ness with." 'The cross-examination
sought to bring out the circumstances of
an alleged meeting between the witness
and an election official, who held the bal
lots In the election in which Whiteside
had participated. The witness was asked
if he had not offered $1000 for the ballots.
Whiteside denied that this had occurred,
and asserted that he had proof to show
that a man had been paid to make such a
statement against him. He also said that
the prosecution instituted against hinr in
this connection was due to prejudice, and
was Inspired 'by one of Clark's associates.
At one point, Pettus, of the commit
tee, objected to having the witness "bad
gered" by counsel.
Ex-Senator Edmunds, of counsel against
Clark, said many of the questions had
been improper, but that they were not ob
jected to, as the widest latitude was de
sired In testing the witness.
Whiteside then went over the circum
stances of his being authorized to offer
$5000 to each of two members, with $500
down, on condition that their votes would
be forthcoming, it desired. He was close
ly questioned on all the details. The
cross-examination of Whiteside was still
in progress when the committee ad
journed until 10:15 tomorrow morning.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8. A session of

is possessed by most people who think for
themselves. The average man knows that
if his blood is impure he feels sick all over,
lie has headache, nausea, bad taste in the
mouth, is "costive and can put no energy
into his work. The kidneys are designed
to purify the blood, but if diseased and tired
out they cannot do it. Extra work is
thrown on the liver and lungs and they too
become diseased under the additional bur

poisoned. What is to be done? Common
sense says put the kidneys, the blood-purifying
organs in good health and do it at once
with Warner's Safe Cure before the kidneys
break down and disintegrate from Bright's
disease. Warner's Safe Cure, a purely
vegetable preparation has cured thousands
of men and women during the past twenty

THE FRENCH CANADIANS.
Attitude of the Catholic Chnrch. To
vi nrtl Possible Annexation.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8. A special to the
Times from Washington says:
"Lift up your eyes, French Canadians,
for the day of your redemption is at
hand." Thus La- Semalne Religieuse, the
organ of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in
the province of Quebec, which Is published
at the Franciscan monastery, in Quebec,
and under the authorization and supervis
ion of his grace, Archbishop Begin, opens
a long article in this week's issue on "An
glomania In Canada." Continuing, La Se
maine Religieuse saysr
"You (French Canadians) conquered by
England, ever hated and oppressed by the,
race which is your enemy, whose children
are forced to speak the language of their
.oppressors in the schools of the United
States and Manitoba; you shall at last
see the star of your liberty rise for you,
and your rights respected by those who
have so long violated them."
The developments of the war in South
Africa lead La Religieuse to speak In this
strain of what it refers to as the approach
ing emancipation of the French Canadian.
The article is an exceedingly Interesting
one as expressing the sentiments of the
French-Canadian clergy regarding the loy
alty of French Canadians to Great Britain.
The attitude of the church in Canada
towards the possible annexation of the
country to the United States is also set
forth with considerable emphasis. Aftet
speaking of what It calls the rabid hostility
of the English Protestants in Canada to
the French Canadians, the article con
tinues: "The situation would become much more
critical for the French-Canadian race it
the Anglomanlncs of Ontario and of Can
ada, instead of being little sympathetic
with the Yankees and their republic, as
they are just at present, should become
reconciled with them, and undertake to
bring about the annexation of Canada to
the United States. Such a reconciliation
Is quite possible, for the hatred of the
Catholic religion and of the French-Canadian
race Is profound among a very great
number of "English Protestants in the
country; It may easily lead them to for
get the secondary differences which divide
them and unite them In a firm alliance
against the religion and the race which
they hate.
"Once annexed to the United States,
Canada would become rapidly and wholly
English. Engulfed in the turbulent sea of
American life, swallowed up in the mire
of national schools, immersed in the great
swirl of Yankee business, could we long
retain our French-Canadian traits and
characteristics? What, indeed, would there
be left of us at the end of 50 years or
so? Would not ours be-the fate which was
that of our former compatriots of New
Orleans? We believe that If Canada be
came a part of the United States, another
century would see us without a trace of
the spirit, the language or the customs
of our fathers."

THE M0LINEUX TRIAL.
Prosecution
May Finish
This Week.
Its Case
NEW YORK, Jan. 8. The develop
ments In today's proceedings in the trial
of Roland B. Molineux for the murder of
Mrs. Katherine J. Adams brought the
hope that the prosecution would get
through with Its case by the end of the
present week. Three witnesses gave im
portant testimony.
Morris Harmann, a member of the firm
in Newark for which Mr. Mollneux was
superintendent, said that the firm of Mor
ris, Harmann & Co. went Into the dry
color business In 1S96, with Mr. Mollneux
as superintendent, and it was upon the
latter's knowledge of dry colors ana
chemical recipes that they started to
work. Evidence was Introduced last week
to show the ease with which cyanide of
mercury, the poison that Is alleged to have
killed Mrs. Adams, could bo produced by
a combination of dry colors'
Edwin B. Hay, of Wasbington. testified
as an expert in handwriting. He gave It
as- his opinion that the letters signed
"Barnet" and "Cornish," and the admit
ted handwritings were written by the same
person. He also said it was his opinion
that the admitted handwritings and dis
puted writings In the "Barnet" and "Cor
nish" letters and that of the poison
package address were all written by one
man, and that man was the prisoner at
the bar.
Alfred U. Graham, paying teller of the
Bank of North America, testified to hav
ing received the writings in evidence in
the case and to having carefully studied
them. He said there was absolutely no
doubt in his mind that the address on
the poison package and that on the bogus
Barnet and Cornish letters were all writ-
efise
ten by the same hand that wrote the ad
mitted letters.
