it was found th.it the only way to rescue the victims was to remove the immense mass of brick and timber. Accordingly workmen were put at It as many of them as could work on It. The debris was being shoveled by one iorce out Into the street, and Into the rear alley, and all available teams were secured for another force of men to load It up and get It out of the may of the rescuing party, who were working on the Immense pile of rami This is found to be the only practical means of reaching those who were cn the lower wn. AH those who have been rescued have been on the upper floors, except some who were thrown out into the street. While this work waa ging on boles were cut through the foundations of adjacent buildings and debris was taken out and three lives wre saved by persons bHng rescued in tha: manner.

It Is thought that others a ill be by these holes through the bastment walls of the adjoining buildings. The ground noor of 32 Walnut street was occupied by Adolph C. Drach for a saloon. He owned that part of the building and the other part was owned by U- Goldsmith and the first floor of this building at. 430 Walnut street was also occupied by a saloon run by Louts Fey.

The upper floors of the five-story building were occupied as (lata It is not known how many people were In the rials or how many wvre in the saloon, but none escaped as the building Immediately collapsed. There was no fire to consume the debris and make certain death of all In the building, but the dust and dirt continued flying for a long time so densely that the work of rescuing the victims proceeded with great difficulty, although the police and fire departments rallied heroically to the work. The saloona were said to be full of people. One of the barkeepers who waa not on duty at the time and escaped lived In one cf the upper flats, and was wit 'with grief because he knew that his wlf and four children were In the ruins. One of hla children was recovered dead soon after the explosion.

It waa thought early In the evening that Mrs. Adolph Drach. as well as her us band, waa killed. The body of Mr. Drach was recovered and taken to the morgue.

Mrs. Drach waa known to be In her flat at the time of the explosion and she was counted among the dead, but her body waa reached shortly be fore midnight, and waa alive, sne waa suffering Intense pain. The workmen liberated Mrs. Drach after 1 o'clock, also her little child, and they were taken to the hospital. Her feet were badly crushed, but she and her child will recover.

The dead body of Mamie Kennedy, a domestic, was recovered at the same time, and waa taken to the morgue. The process of operation through holes In the adjoin ing walla and foundations proved quite effectual, but even through these channels FTlcke. Lauth and Loheetde could not be reached up to 1 o'clock, although the- are known to be still in the debris. There are only thirteen of the Injured at the City Hospital. Their names appear la the list glvea above.

Others LOUISVILLE, TUESDAY MORNING. MAT 5, 1896. TEN were Injured and taken to their homes, and their names and the extent of their injuries could not be learned. It Is thought to-night that none of the Injured will die except McCarthy. Relays of the force of workmen will continue the efforts to clear away the debris and And any others that may In the wreckage as soon as possible.

The work will continue all night and until the ruins are cleared away. There are only three bodlea at the morgue, but It Is believed that the list wlil be double thai number. At the tlmo of the explosion the electric light wires fr the are lights and trolleys were torn down and there waa a great demonstration of electric light. This Is one of the things which caused the stampede In the Fibson House, as the sound of the explosion was heard the flash of the electric light wires were seen In the street. It is learned late to-night that a number of people were Injured in the stampede on Walnut street at that time and some were Injured by coming In contact with the wires, but it Is impossible to ret the nsmes of any who were not so seriously injured as to be taken to the hoenital.

Mr. Noland David, of Hamilton, who was killed by the explosion, married a well-known young woman at Newport about two months ago. Herman Nolte. was standing by a barber-shop pole in an adjoining building, when struck by some debris and suffered a brcitenlcg and other Injuries. There were many that suffered slight Injuries who were taken to their homes anil whose nunn can not be learned.

Some of those who were In the I ma were thrown out on the sidewalk and stiffered slight injuries. Among them waa Mr. Healy. of the Alma Hotel. He was in Fey's place and reports about eighteen or twenty In that resort when the building went down.

Mr. Drach being among the victims. It probable that It will never be known how the explosion came about. He had Just been down in the basement experimenting with the gasoline engine and had poured a barrel of gasoline Into the tank. He had Just secured a new engine for motive power in furnishing Incandescent light.

Hla frinds. who escaped uninjured, hastened to his assistance, but It waa several minutes before he regsined consciousness. He was taken into the Gib-eon House, where it was found that he had only been slightly injured. A peculiar circumstance connected with his experlenc Is the fact that after he had regained his composure he could not remember the nsme of a friend he had known for the past twenty years. He says that they visited the ball game and had had dinner together, but he can not remember his name or how he looked.

His injuries beyond this were very trifling. HARDIN OX THE F1YE PQIHS. Two of Them Lies and Three of Them Fallacies" Is His Only To Carlisle. Richmond. May 4.

Hon. P. Wat Hardin spoke for two hours to a large court -day crowd to-day. His speech was confined to a discussion of free silver, but only the most radical of that faith were comforted by the arguments he presented! Many of the 1 most Intelligent silver men expressed disappointment at his speech, which was largely abuse and not argument. He took the position that neither gold nor silver had Intrinsic value, and that money received Its value only from the stamp of the Government.

He came out squarely for a Mexicanlzed currency or a fifty-cent dollar. Even though free silver mraot the gi Ing of fifty cents on every dollar to the mine owners, he said he preferred this to giving It to the Rothschilds. He said he was fully able to answer Mr. Carlisle's Ave famous sound-money propositions, and proceeded to do so thus: "Two of them damned lies and three of them fallacies." He failed utterly to give any reason why any of them were false or fallacies, nor did he at emi to do so. He declared that If the American people did not come to his way of thinking their only remedy would be revolution and bloodshed unless they submitted to slavery.

His speech was disconnected and abusive. ani. while he attempted to deliver it with dramatic effect, it was so extreme and socialistic that the free-silver element were discouraged by it. as they are unwilling to go to the extremes urged by him. which mean a disruption of the Democratic party.

Hons. Sam Owsley, of Lincoln, and Pryor Foree. of Shelby, followed Gen. Hardin, and made fine speeches in behalf of I heir icandiviacy for Congresa against the free coinage of silver. They completely answered Mr.

Hardin, and their speeches were well received, as evidenced by the attention and applause of the audience, which had been held together for over three hours. Each of the candidates haa a strong following In Madison. INVITED TO GEORGIA. Secretary Carlisle May Make Several Sound-Money Speeches. Savannah.

May 4. (Special) Secretary Of the Interior Hoke Smith, with Fleming G. Dublgnon. sound-money candidate for United States Senator, and many of th-s prominent public men of the State, have Joined In a request to Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle to visit this State and deliver a number cf speeches on the financial question. It Is understood here' that Mr.

Carlisle will accept the Invitation and visit Georgia the end of May or early In June. A special Invitation haa been sent from Savannah to have the first address delivered here. It is conceded throughout the State that the sound-money sentiment is fast gaining in and It now looks as if the State Convention will send a sound-money. UciegaUoa to Chicago, TILLMAN May Not Have Things His Way In South Carolina IN THE STATE CONVENTION. Sonnd-Money Men WilLOffera Resolution Against MANY SILVER MEN, Ineladin; Senator Irby, Oppose Tillman's Proposed Bolt THE BOTTLING BILL IN THE SEXATE Washington.

D. C. May 4. (Special.) The call for a convention of the sound-money Democrats of South Carolina to elect a contesting delegation to the Chicago convention la not meeting with favor even among the gold-standard leaders there, it Is said. The call waa signed by a prominent Democrat of the State.

Col. F. W. Mc. Master.

He wants the gold men to hoiu a convention ahead of the regular convention, which will be controlled by the TlUmanltes. and elect delegates to Chicago. The gold men. It la said by one of the leaders here, do not propose to make a break of that kind. They are playing a shrewd Democratic game, which they think will give them the delegation to Chicago.

Their plan is to attend the regular State Convention, which Senator Tillman saya will send him as a delegate to Chicago. They will advocate the adoption of resolutions against bolting at Chicago. If these resolutions are adopted, they will stay in the party and not elect a contesting delegation. If the resolutions are defeated, and Tillman Is elected as a delegate, they will consider that aa prima facie evidence of an Intention to bolt, if necessary. They will then hold a convention and elect a contesting delegation pledged not to bolt the nominee of the convention.

The gold Democrats of the State take tha position that Senator Tillman, is a confessed bolter, and that be has no right- in the Chicago convention. They say that If no resolutions at all on Ine Question of bolting are adopted. will be manifest that there will be a bolt. If the National Convention Is not for silver. Senator Tillman's plan Is to have the State Convention remain silent on the question of a bolt.

This, be thinks, will make the delegation all right at Chicago. The gold standard men assert that this will not go. and that the el c-tlon of Senator Tillman himself Is equivalent to a resolution favoring bolting. A large percentage of the silver men of the State are against bolting, and these, with the old-time opponents of Tillman, the gold men. may be able to have the convention adopt non-bolting resolutions.

Senator Irby, State chairman. Is leading the non-bolting silver men, and believes his faction will win. An effort Is being made by Senator Tillman's friends In induce him not to attend the Chicago convention. They urge that his threats of bolting have put him in an unenviable position. O.

O. S. MOKE SMITH FOR CONGRESS. lie port at Atlanta That He May Oppose L.i vingston. Atlanta, May 4.

(Special.) All the talk In political circles to-day is concerning the probability or possibility of Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith running for Congress against the Hon. LeonJdaa LJvlngsttfn. This posslbllty was foreshadowed In telegrams received from Washington a few days ago, but not much stock waa taken In what seemed a groundless rumor. The fact, however, that the talk has received a strong Impetus to-day and that It corces from the Secretary's closest friends here, hss been regarded as highly significant. Livingston has for several years been to Secretary Smith as a red rag to a bull, and especially has this been true since the Secretary became a member of.

the Cabinet, as he haa had to behold the spectacle of his home Congressman being a strong opponent of the Administration. He has each succeeding two years support ed some other one for the nomination, but each time Livingston haa won. He is said to have been behind the recent effort to get Mr. S. M.

In man to be a candidate. This failed, however, and the indications have been that the nomination would again go to Livingston, this time practically by default-It Is understood that one reason why Smith will run. If he does run. is that he believes that by so doing he can carry this county against Crisp. As It stands.

Crisp will be Instructed for. Secretary Smith will be here to-morrow, when something definite will be decided. He counts on carrying the Pulton. De KaJb, Douglas and Clayton delegations, enough to nominate. TENNESSEE'S DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION Chaaoery Jadgea to Be Nominated I'o-uorrow and Governor Thursday.

Not over a dosen leading Democrats have reached, the city so far; but tomorrow large numbers will come In and when the convention meets It is expected that It will be the largest aad most representative Democratic convention ever held. The Democratic Executive Committee will meet to-morrow night to name temporary officers. There Is no talk about the chairman of the Judicial convention, which meets Wednesday, but It is con reded that the Hon.

Benton McMUllit will be temporary chairman of the gubernatorial convention, and Jndge John K. Shield spermament chairman. Bob Taylor will undoubtedly be nominated for Oovemor. The Hon. J.

(Special.) preliminary work for the Returbitcan State Convention, which does not convene until next Thursday, has already begun. The forty-two candidates for office aU opened their headquarters this morning and began the business of receiving the public and such delegates aa turned up. Shortly before noon a meeting of all the candidates, was held at wnich they agreed that neither cigars nor refreshments of any kind should be served in their headquarters. This they regard aa a useless expenditure, calculated to serve no other purpose than to attract to their rooms a number of lolter-era. They further agreed to ask the Committee on Rules that no nominating speeches should be permitted, but derided to make no recommendations to this committee on the subject of a two-days' convention or any other details.

While almost all those coming in favor the nomination of McKlnley, one hears much opposition to instructions, largely on the ground that they will amount to nothing more than the carrying out of the contract made with Mark Hanna. of Cleveland, for an Instructed delegation. But this subject is not much discussed. The all-absorbing topic of conversation is the race for the governorship. Guesses on the number of ballots range all the way from four to forty, and while 't Is conceded that three or four candidates will come In with considerable leads the less conspicuous of the thirteen are by no means discouraged with their chances and none of them shows any disposition to break that fatal number.

The general opinion is that the fight will In the end narrow down between Griffiths, Griffln and Doxey, unless the convention goes after a dark horse, which is not unlikely. None of the present State officers has any opposition for renomlnatlon. except State Treaaurer Schols. and he has but one opponent, who hot making a strong fight. Much interest centers Just now In the election of delegates from this county, which occurs to-morrow night.

Griffiths, being- a Marlon county man. expects to get most of this delegation, but strenuous tfTorts are being made to take a part of is away from him and his friends have rai-ed a cry that boodle Is being used by the managers of one of the outside Certain It la that some of the statesmen from the warda. who havea't had a cent since the last election, are verj Hath Just now.

One of the two contesting San Francisco delegations under the leadership of John D. Spreckles, Is making a hard battle for an uplnstructed delegation, and they have not yet given up the fight. Spreckles who aspires to be the leader of the Republican party In this State, is a candidate for delegate-at-large. He Is a pronounced Allison man. and to-day announced that If the convention Insists upon sending an Instructed delegation he will withdraw as a candidate and withdraw active support from the Republican party.

There seems to be a disposition among the delegates to Ignore the silver question entirely, or at most to give free coinage, but a half-hearted indorsement. AGAINST "HERESY" ANO SOUND MONEY.

DAY OF HEARING- FIXED land Resolution Again Bcbs Up In the Senate. II ILL'S LENGTHY SPEECIL An Effort Regarded Principally Is a Time-Killer. NAVAL BILL IN THE HOUSE Washington. May 4. The Dipont case waa unexpectedly brought forward in a motion by Mr.

Turpi Ind.) to proceed with the consideration of the case. Mr. Mitchell chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, stated that it was surprising this move should be made to take the case out of his hands, when there was no disposition on the. Republican side of fhe chamber to delay a vote. He had expected to go on with the Dupont case as soon as the River and Harbor BUI was out of the way.

Mr. Gorman Interposed with a suggestion of a compromise by which the case would be taken up next Monday and voted on at 4 p. m. next Tuesday. No consent could be obtained, and the roll was called on Mr.

Turple's motion, which was adopted. 32 to Si. All the Republicans voted against the motion, while the Democrats and four Populists. Allen. Butler.

Kyle and Fetter, lists. Allen. Butler and Peffer. voted for Mr. Jones (Nev.) was not In the chamber, but Mr.

Stewart was and did not vote. The vote having been announced Mr. Mitchell, showing evident feeling, despite his efforts at calmness, said impressively that In eighteen years of service this was the first time he had seen such unjustifiable action. Under ordinary circumstances there waa comity among, Senators without reference, to party. And yet.

with several Senators on the Republican side of the chamber absent and unpaired without any Intimation or notice, this motion to proceed with the Dupont case was made and carried. "Under the circumstances. I can look at this action In no other light than as a discourtesy," said Mr. Mitchell. After further debate a conciliatory tone prevailed and Mr.

Gorman proposed that the Dupont case be taken up after the River and Harbor Bill was disposed of, the final vote to be taken the second day thereafter at 6 p. nt. This was assented to by all concerned, and the Incident closed. The River and Harbor Bill was then taken up. At 2 o'clock Mr.

Peffer occasioned another flurry. At that time the bond resolution was laid before the Senate as the unfinished businesa It was supposed the resolution would give way but Mr. Peffer Insisted on going on. saying he had yielded to three appropriation bills and would yield no longer. Mr.

Krye. In charge of the River and Harbor BUI. finally moved to proceed with that bill The effect of this motion. If adopted, would have been to displace the bond resolution and practically to kill It. The motion was defeated, 28 yeas to 39 nays, aa follows: Yeas Republicans; Burrows.

"Let me suggest to the Senator from Maine." interposed Mr. Wolcott. "that the country will be delighted to know that these appropriation bills, carrying millions, have been laid aside until some information is had as to the bonds which furnish the funds for these vast appro-pristions." Mr. Hill then secured the floor, taking up the thread of his speech opposing the bond resolution many days ago. Mr.

Hill referred to the "Massachusetts and Maryland combination" In speaking of the votes of Mr. Lodge and Mr. Gorman, just given In favor of the bond resolution. Mr. Sherman asked Mr.

Hill to point out any objectionable feature in the resolutions, adding that he would like to know if there waa any reflection on Secretary Carlisle, for. If there waa he would object to It. aa the Secretary was not open to offensive criticism. Mr. Hill responded that thia debate had forced the author of the resolution to strike out the offensive statements.

On that alone the Senate and country waa to be congratulated. At one. time It looked as though the Senate waa bound to throw mud. "I would have the Senate treat John G. Carlisle Just aa a Democratic House of Representatives treated John Sherman." said Mr.

Hill. Mr. Sherman rose to say that he had while Secretary of the Treasury willingly submitted to every congressional inquiry. "it should be known. said he.

"that there is law dating from the time of Alexander Hamilton requiting the Secretary of the Treasury to submit to any. Inquiry from Congress." Mr. Hill thought that should the House or Senate desire any information as to the sale of bonds or other data regarding the conduct of the Treasury Department that a courteous note addressed to the head or that de- I jjartment to appear In person before the commlttee and give the facts desired, or even reply by written communication would be promptly met and would suffice. Messrs. Sherman.

Gray and Gor-mon supported Mr. Hill In this position, the former reading the statute nm- vtdlng that any committee of the House or Benste might call on the Secretary of the Treasury for any data he raicht have aa to the business of the Treasury Department or might call on him, to appear In person. Mr. Hill continued at length: It became apparent that Mr. HIU was speaking mainly to consume time and- the galleries became thinned and but few Senators remained In their seats-Mr.

Vest entered the chamber and interrupted Mr. Hill to secure, as he stated, some information as to the business relations that existed between the Treasury Department and J. Pler-punt Morgan. am not Interested in these resolutions." he explained, "as far as they contain any allegation against the integrity of Secretary Carlisle, which I do not believe." He then-stated his opinion thst Mr. Carlisle, as trustee, should not have allotted the remainder of the defaulted bond bids to Morgan 8t but should have again offered them for sale, and thus allow the Government the advantage of the rise In the price which resulted after the bonds had been on the market a few days.

Mr. Vest thought the allotment to Morgan A Co. of the unfilled bids a most extraordinary proceeding. Mr. HIU explained that the Morgan bid waa regular and in true businesa form, and Its acceptance waa quite proper.

While the Republican side was deserted Mr. Mills unexpectedly requested Mr. Hill to allow him to move an adjournment, stating that he believed Mr. Hill to be quite tired, having spoken for two hours. Mr.

HIU acquiesced and the motion carried. Messrs. Lodge and Chandler and other Republicans who hurriedly entered frnm the cloak-rooms made an effort to defeat the motion by a call for a quorum and a yea and nay vote. Both were refused, and. on division, the motion scood 13 to 12 in favor of adjourning, and then at fi p.

Washington. May 4. The first skirmish over the Senate amendment to the Naval Appropriation Bill reducing the number of battle ships provided for in that bill from four to two, occurred In the House to-day. when Mr. Bou telle.

Chairman of the Naval Committee, moved to non-concur in all the Senate amendments, and request a conference with the Senate. Mr. Bou telle undertook to chastise some of the Senators for their Inconsistency. He referred to the war scares of the past and the bell loose resolutions introduced in the Senate, and then sarcastically contrasted the war talk with the. action of some of the Senators to reduce the battle ships provided In the bill.

Mr. Quigg III.) called Mr. Bou-telle to order for criticising members of the upper house, and was sustained by the chair, after some very lively sparing. Mr. Bou telle, however, accomplished all be had intended, despite the chair's ruling.

Subsequently Mr. Bayers, of Texas, moved to concur in the Senate amendment reducing the number of battle ships, but by consent the motion went over for action until to-morrow when It Is likely that the whole question of large appropriations at this time fqr strength ening the navy wiu be reopened and ventilated. Quite a number of bills were passed during the day, mostly of minor importance. Among them were bills for protection of yacht owners and ship builders: to authorize the construction af a bridge across the Illinois river at Grafton, 111.: to pension Qen. Jos.

R. West at the rate of SaO per month and to authorise South Dakota to select the Fort Sully military reservation as part of the lands granted to that State. Mr. Boutelle Maine), chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs, moved that the House non-concur In the Senate amendments to the naval appropriation and request a conference. Mr.

Boutelle nroceeoed in connection with his motion to call attention to the' action of the Senate In reducing the number of battle ships provided for in the bill from four to two. He charac terised the Senate a action as remarkable change of front." He deferred to the fact that when four battle ships were provided for by the House the public mind had been "greatly Inflamed and excited by wars and rum ors of wars." The Senate, he argued. had contributed largely to this state of public mind. He rehearsed briefly the warlike message of the President with reference to Venezuela, and the precipi tate action of the House and Senate. He went on to refer to the remarkable and extraordinary propositions advanced in the Senate to maintain this novel and aggressive attitude." He briefly sketched the bills introduced by Mr.

Chandler for the purchase of OUO.Oflu of war material, the resolution of Mr. Hale for calling out the navul re serves snd the purchase of vessels all the other bills and resolutions Introduced bearing on the Cuban question. He quoted from Mr. Vest's speech In tue Senate In which the Missouri Senator referred to Spain as a "toothless old wolf," a speech which Mr. Boutelle said aused great- excitement throughout Spain.

He was proceeding to read ieu-ator Mills' resolution when Mr. tlulfig N. Jumped to his feet and railed Mr. Boutelle to order for violating the rule which prohibits memoirs cf the House irom criticising proceed ings In the Senate. The chair has the impression mat tne point of order Is well taken." he said.

mid some applause. Mr. Boutelle protested against such a ruling, declaring that the Idea that a member could reao. rrom me recora the Senate or any other legislative body on earth was a "monstrous proposition." He said he was amazed at such an Infantile point of order. Speaker Reed explained coolly and courteously to Mr.

Boutelle the rule which prohibits members of the House from criticising members of the Senate, and the I.r,- the rule. Mr. Boutelle still con tended that the Speaker should de fine his privileges, nut me rpciwr In clined further tnan ioj In order." With this indefinite line. Mr. Boutelle was not content, and again ssked the Speaker to tell him whether he could read from the record.

I PRICE THREE CENTS. DARKJAY For the Defense In the Jackson Case. ITS BOMB EXPLODED. But the Prosecution More Than Met It. TRUSTY, THE NEW WITNESS, To Be Arrested This Morning For Perjury AT JUDGE HELM'S INSTANCE Newport.

May 4. (Special. The well-primed bomb of the defense was exploded to-day in the Campbell Circuit Court room. The explosion created a great stir, but the concussion set off the prosecution's entire dynamite magazine, which threatens to blow to the skies all the hopea Scott Jackson has ever had regarding his probable acquittaL This was a day of startling surprises. William R.

Trusty, of Urbana. lit. swore that he hauled the body found near Ft. Thomas to that spot from a house near George and Elm streets. Cincinnati.

He said he waa given 10 for the work, and that a mn carried the body from the vehicle and climbed over the fence, as had been previously suggested by ex-Chief of Police Locke. with the body In his una. Trusty says the man also carried a case of surgical Instruments and that he left the man. who said he was a doctor, there with the body. It was a wlerd.

uncanny story Trusty told, and quite as remarkable as that which was sworn to by George H. Jackson, the colored man. Then the prosecution made lta great play. In a speech in open court CoL Nelson said that he would prove before the trial waa ended that Capt. John Seward, a detective employed by the defense, had coached wit nesees as to what to say on the that he expected to prove fhat Seward was in consultation with ventured into the Jury room, and that.

Seward had tried to suborn the witnesses afid had given one witness a memorandum which he was expected to swear by. "I do not believe the counsel for the defense have attempted to procure witnesses by fraud." said CoL I believe they would be as ready and willing as we to Investigate a witness who has done anything which entitles him not only to the scorn of the community, but makes him liable to be confined within the walls of the penitentiary." Mr. Crawford waa greatly surprised at the turn affairs took. He, also mad a speech, explaining his position. He said that Trusty had told him this story and that he did not know whether to believe him or not.

but that he called in several attorneys and let the man go over his remarkable tale again. I have been at a loss as to which wit nesses I would let get on the stand aad tell their stories." said Mr. Crawford. "For instance. I have a letter from one man who writes that he cut Pearl Bryan's head off, and that be Is willing to go on the stand and tell all about it.

I want a full Investigation of all this end urge that the utmost latitude be ac corded in the cross-examination of ell these witnesses, in order that the whole truth may come out. I want to say that I and Mr. Shepherd. Mr. Waiting's at torney, furnished the money for tnis witness.

Trusty, to come to this city. and we are paying his board while he is here." Then CoL Nelson took Trusty and subjected him to severe cross-questlsn- ing. To most of Col. Nelsons questions he knew nothing, and In the end the case of the defense was left In a collapsed state. On the whole It was a very bad day for Jackson.

He had built great hopes, ss well ss his attorney, on what Trusty would testify tand he said all that he had promised), but the move of the prosecution was not thought of. Tonight It Is the general opinion that the case looks very dark for the prisoner. He was deathly pale ail day and one had but to look at his face to know that be realized perfectly what a decided change had taken place.
