Wilson for a Cabinet place. Though there was no especial quarrel between the Democrats of Congress and Mr. lllssell, there waa always a strangeness. The pressure he was subject ed to by members and Senators with relation to ot office appointments waa often uunoylng to hlr.i. and dlbuppolntmenls and delays were sometimes irritating to the members.

The Cabinet position will not pay him as well as would the Mexican mission, but he preferred the greater honor ''14 the larger salary. Mr. Wilson la not a man of wealth, and the obligation which falls upon a Cabinet ofllcer to entertain Is likely to remit the position an expense rather than a profit to him.

Mr. Wilson Is one of the mont popular men In the House, and If It depeuded upon the votes of his colleagues, they Would give him the highest he could aspire to. The comment of many was that for hla sake they would have been glad to see him get a better and less exacting position There is no suspicion or Intimation of any sort of conflict or disagreement between Mr.

One of the witnesses, named Miss Laura M. liens-man, testified that she was Introduced to Mr. Taylor last July by Rev. H. P.

He promised her to see what kind of a position he could secure for her. and requested that she should rail the next day. Hiss Bene man said she did call the next day and that she went to Mr. Taylor's office. The proposals which she said be made to her there were accompanied by' the statement that there were many women, both white and black, who would be willing to accept them, because he was one of the head men of the country.

She afterward met Mr. Taylor at the hoiiFe of a Mrs. Clan-tot, where he told her that she ahould take the place of Mrs. Garrlot's daughter, recently decease J. He also washed ber to take the (dead girl's iblace In the Government Piint- mg umce.

I-rxixcTOK, February 2S. The Clay will case waa resumed to-day, with Mrs. Thomas II.

Clay still on the stand. Many prominent society women were In the courtroom, and enjoyed the rather aplcy testimony. Mrs. Clay testified that she told Miss Crosby that she should not visit Minnie Grots and Mrs. Morton, as the families did not exchange visits.

She bitterly denied Mlaa Crosby's statement that ahe attacked these ladles In various conversations. She had discovered that Miss Crosby was visiting Mrs. Grats after her return from a trip East. Mrs. Clay then made her explanation of Mlas Crosby's very sensational statement that she had coerced her mother Into forcing Howard Grats lnto'removlng his wife's remains from the Grata lot.

Mrs. Clay said that she went to a marble shop one day to purchase a monument for her brother's grave. She was surprised to learn that another grave was In the lot. She found that It was that of Mrs. Howard Qratg.

She at once told her mother, who was much surprised, and at Mrs. Clay's suggestion sent him a note ordering him to remove the body a't once. Mrs. Clay said that Mrs. Grats manifested no reluctance or regret tn writing the note.

She did not think Miss Crosby was present when this occurred. Mrs Clay said that the estrangement between her father and mother and Howard Grats dated beck lo She stated that HER IXVIXQ) RELATIONS With her mother existed up to the time of her death. The witness then denied in bitter manner another of the spicy charges made by Miss Crosby. When asked If she stated that her love for her mother was dead, and her only Interest in her was to secure the homestead, she replied like a flash, "Never." She declared that what she did say was that one day, when Mrs. Grata hsd mode a very hard acousation against Miss Crosby, ahe said that her mother had certainly outlived ber love for her chil dren Mrs.

Clay then described the behavior of her mother at times when she lost entire control of her temper, and made unjust accusations and had hallucinations. She re membered a bitter quarrel her mother had with Miss' Hart. Her mother would talk about Miss Crosby when angry. She admitted that she had told her mother that he -was ailewtag -the- Crosby chHdrea tot many privileges. Mrs.

Clay then ntlATIO A SENSATION By stating that in 1.4)2 Miss Crosby told her that she had been to Missouri and had agreed to aid General Shelby In hla attempt to break hla mother's will; that Miss Crosby also stated that before she died Mrs. Grats had become offended with her and Intended to cut her off. Mrs. Clay then turned to General Shelby and said: "My mother left two cups, one General Shelby had given her. and the other a mug her father gave her.

At her death I wrote General Shelby and asked him where she should send them. I have never received an answer to that letter yet." The question of the ownership of a pitcher came up, and Mrs. Clay cried, amid objec tions from her counsel: "I will make one statement, and that is that my father never put his initial on anything he did not own." She emphatically denied having influenced her mother. When asked If she knew what provision her mother would make for General Shelby, the counsel objected, but Mrs. Clay cried: "I know It." Judge Denny then demanded that the COURT CONTROL, MRS.

CLAT. And subject her to the same treatment other witnesses received. She stated that Bayre had advised her to destroy all.the old family papers. She had burned her own letters and those of ber mother and She admitted that she had retained papers that would help ber In fighting General Shelby, The cross-examination of Mrs. Clay by Judge Denny commenced in the afternoon.

Mrs. Clay admitted that she had never seen the second wife of Admiral Crosby nor the Admiral since his second marriage; declared that she was indifferent to Admiral Crosby years ago. but It had grown Into dislike. She hated the Admiral from his treatment of his children. She learned this from her mother, who had a Washington correspondent.

She had alwaya disliked Admiral Crosby since Ms marriage to her oldest slater. Mrs. Clay became somewhat rattled, and Anally admitted that she. had talked to her mother about her alleged neglect by Gen eral Bhelby. Sbe declared, under a rapid flro of questions from Judgs Denny, that THI TIKS OF BLOOD Did not blsd her to loving General Shelby; association was what made her love people.

Colonel Clay was compelled to le)tn over and caution Mrs. Clay to compose herself during a rapid exchange of compliments between Judge Denny and herself. She denied sharply Judge Denny's Intima tion that she had done much to keep up the estrangement between her mother's family and Howard Gratx's family. She did not recall the fact that at entertainment. when aaked If ahe knewMBflsa Mary Grata, ahe declared that ehe did now and bad no desire to meet such a girt aa sbe was.

She did not know that Colonel Lew P. Tarleton had said at the time that he would not allow Miss Grats to be talked about ia such a way. Mrs. Clay denied that Miss Jo Peter her "go-between." or agent, but ad mitted that Miss Peter kept her posted as to alt her mother's affairs. Mrs.

Clay de nied that there was an agreement that no one should open the vault box In watch Mrs. Gratx's will was placed unless the holder of the other key was there. She admitted that she and her mother often clashed. Mrs. Clay denied that sbe vent to her room after an ALXEBCATIOir WITH MB MOTH KB And remained there until she cam and apologized to her.

When asked by Judge Denny If she "Waa always right in these quarrels she refused to answer. Judge Denny demanded that Mrs. Clay be treated the same aa any other witness In the case Mrs. Clay then said ahe waa not, and admitted that aha had frequent rows with her mother as she grew older. "Now.

Mrs. Clay." said Judge Denny, "you say you dislike Mrs. Crosby, General Bhelby. Howard Grata and the Crosby children. Now.

which of your family do van llkef Mrs. Clay sharply refused to. answer. In reference to Mlaa Crosby tha witness said that three days after tha will was probated Miss Crosby told her that ahe regretted a party to the breaking of the At this point Mrs. Clay became stubborn, and flatly refused to answer FTNAiXT SUB OOT MAO Whan Judge Denny Insisted on her answer- lag; a query aa to whether she hated the Crosby child rea and replied fa an exasperated tone: "My feeling toward thesa Is neither affectionate or unkind.

Few people are placed in the place I am. If ever your children are arrayed against yon then yow W1U fe-21 will respect my feelings." Judge Denny Insisted, askmg: "la your eilng kind toward them?" Site again refused and when told by Judge Parker to answer, replied: "I cannot." Mrs. Clay stated that Miss Je Peter, who Is accused of collusion with Mrs. Clay, carried a duplicate key to the vault bos which, held Mrs. Greta's will and valuable papers.

Mrs. Clay declared that Mlas Peter was no spy under cross-firing from Judge Denny. The object of this evidence waa to show that Miss Peter kept Mrs. Clay posted in regard to ber mother's a.Tsirs while the witness was in Boston. PREACHER STOPPED By Two Worldly HUhwajmea Who Shot at Him.

Anthony's Hospital from the effects of a criminal operation performed to hide her shame, fine is still too 111 to make a statement to the police, and no action will be taken in the case until she either dies or suf ficiently recovers to give additional Informa tion. Deputy County Clerk Bryan, In wbose family tbe young woman made her home, today reiterates his statement to the effect that when she became ill she confessed a prominent North Bide physician hsd performed an operation to relieve her trouble, and that she paid him 20 for this service. Medical circles are much agitated over the affair, inasmuch as the name of the physician connected with the affair has been unblemished and well known in the profession. Should the yonng woman die, there will be developments of a most startling character. but otherwise it is possible the affair will be hushed up.

The utmost eflorts are being made to keep the (acts secret, in order to shield the persons whom Miss Warner charges with her present condition. It is now said that In the event of her recovery Influences will be brought to bear upon ber to stop the esse at Its present status, so far as prosecution re mains.

Va, February 2i With a smile on his lips.

Train Bobber Charles Morganfleld thla afternoon looked Into the faces of tbe 12 farmers on his Jury, and heard them pronounce hla" doom unmoved and apparently unaffected. In keeping with the quaint and ancient prescription of the constitution of tbe commonwealth, the Jurors stood up and "looked apon the defendant before delivering their He returned their gaze with an easy smile, his bead resting upon his arm. "What say you Is ha guilty or not guilty?" "tli Is guilty," came the muffled chorus from the benches. "Have you agreed upon sj verdict A nod followed, and the foreman, a typical Southerner of the Confederate soldier type, handed up the verdict. Morganfleld simply permitted his big eyes to follow the paper as It was banded to Clerk Bryan.

A few seconds mere and he knew bis fate. RB BAD ESCAPED THK OAI.UWS. But the extreme punishment of IS years In the Richmond Penitentiary had been imposed upon him. This done he dropped back on his pillow and resumed the quiet enjoyment of his cigar. It was the only Indication of feeling that be exhibited during the day.

Even when his traitorous accomplice, Charles J. Searcy, was brought into Court 13 minutes later, he did not look up from his couch to gaze upon that person's face. Nor when Judge Aahton demanded of him a statement before Judgment should be pronounced did he betray even the faintest symptom of Irritation or anger. In his low voice he replied: "All I have to ssy Is that I was not given time to prepare ray defense. "Nor was I fit, mentally or physically, to proceed with my trial.

Kven when I waa brought Into Court I did not believe that I would be tried." In response to this statement Judge Ash-ton Informed him that cyaad received a fair and Impartial heartbg and had been defended with remarkable thoroughness. Continuing, he told the prisoner that" la vteWof the enormity of his offense and the possi bility of capital punishment BIS BSCAPB -WAS A HAPPY OKI Aqd a cause for self-congratulation. Mor ganfleld only smiled In response. The Court went oa In a brief review of the case and then imposed the verdict rendered by the Jury, declaring that it met with his fullest approbation. Thla done he ordered that tbe prisoner he remanded to Jail at Fredericksburg for safe keeping until he could be removed to the penitentiary.

In an instant his attorneys were on their feet, making the preliminary motions for an appeal. The reshaping of tbe verdict because of a clerical mistake was objected to, and the Court repulred to make It part of the record. A motion to aet aside the ver dict was then made and overruled. Senator Little then asked for a stay of execution for 90 days. After some haggling the day was fixed at April 5.

Commonwealth Attorney Sevmour White then asaTed that the four remaining Indictments against the prisoner be continued until next term. Morganfleld's attorneys made a vigorous fight for their dismissal, but were knocked out. This ended the drama that has been on the boards for tbe past nine days with out interruption. The tremendous efforts of Colonel Thos. F.

Shay In hla argument for the prisoner ended at noon Under tbe curious practice of old Virginia, attorneys seldom resort to the plain, unvarnished methods of the West, where things are called -by plain names. During the closing hours of his address Mr. Shay continued hla terrific assaults upon the Plnkertons and upon Searcy, wbose hands be declared were BSD WITH HUMAN BlyOOD, And whose brow bore the murderous mark of Cain. Considerable time waa devoted to the theory that more than two persons wero concerned lo the "hold-up," and In support of this the wide variance in tbe statements concerning the masks was dwelt upon. In masterly fashion the con flicting testimony of all the witnesses along the line of retreat was brought out, and the Jury cautioned hot to accept the state ments of those who admitted that their expenses were being paid by the prosecution.

The peroration wca a scientific review of the law on doubt and Insufficient evidence. A stirring round of applause followed his last appeal for his client, a proceeding that tbe Court strongly, rebuked. After dinner the stste closed Its case with the statement of Commonwealth's Attorney White, the gentleman who made the plucky, fight for Morganfleld's extradition at Cincinnati. -Mr. Whits has all the eloquence of a Virginia orator, and his effort was a classical gem In Its way.

In defense of the officers la tha case he paid a magnificent tribute to the Patrice Department of Cincinnati and the high' character of Chler Deltsch. man who) bad proved his bravery by charging against the bullets of you all. on the battlefields of Virginia." In a aar castle way he attacked the vigorous methods of the counsel for defense and denounced them for assaulting tha honor of the wontea and men of tbe commonwealth. Then he proceeded ta create a sensation by declaring that the statement of Mr. Shay that Morganfleld had a wife and child waa false.

The prisoner rose on his cot and t-ANQCIDLV TXTBJtBrFTED KIM With tha remark: -Why. Mr. White, you know that my wife was ta Cincinnati 8U1I. Mr. White Insisted that be waa right.

Next came the declaration that the Plnkertons, whom ha eloquently defended, would not get any of tha Offered reward because they war not entitled to It. "Both men were under arrest before they were called Into the- case. ha said. Tha nest surprise was tha declaration that 'Searcy had never Tnade a confession to him or had never been promised protection. The original' theory of the state that but two men were implicated waa taken wp and ap-pareatty proved front tbe statements of-Gal-legber and Washington, tha engineer and fireman, and of the witnesses who saw tha- fBgitives after the robbery and he-fore It- This peroration was an appeal to the Jury to stand together for tbe honor of Virginia, aa they had stood together at Msnsssss and Seven Pines and Frederlcksbarg.

and ended with a demand that the death penalty be enforced as a warning against additional robberies of this kind. The Jury retired at 3: 10 minutes later they were marching Into Court again with their verdict- They had coma to a concli stow tn leas than five minutes. Bat one bal lot was taken and that a formal one, aa they had practically agreed upon a decision when the testimony closed. Up until laat Sunday fonr of them favored hanging ta the event of a verdict of guilty, and one clung to this view until the hoar arrived to vote. In de fare see to the ethers.

Had the verdict been for death it would have been sustained by Judge Ashton. and Gov ernor (Perrei! would not have Interfered to commute it to life Imprisonment. It was this knowledge as much as anything else that deterred the Jury from going to tbe limits of the law. After the penalty -had been Imposed by Judge Ashton a sensational scene ensued.

Both la their addresses Senator Little and Mr. Shay Impastfionately charged that, ta the event of Morganfleid's conviction. 8arcy would escape merited punishment. The witnesses would be dispersed and could not be brought back unless the Adams Express Company so consented. Mr.

Shay charged that there waa a contract ia existence to give Searcy bis freedom. In response Mr. White Indignantly repudiated this statement, asserting that Searcy would be tried and sent to the penitentiary with his svocompnee. As Mated, after sentenoe had been passed aad the remaining Indictments against Morganfleld postponed, the case of Searcy will be called. A young attorney.

Little, aa Mr. White quietly said that he bad no objection to offer. "Searcy will never be tried." Searcy, wbo sat in tbe vacated Jury box, laughed aloud and slapped hla knee with apparent relish. Mr. White, turning, insisted that he would have a trial and that Searcy would be convicted.

Thla caused that gentleman to smile afresh. Judge Ashton declared that be had no as both commonwealth and defense were agreed. IBS APPABBNT CONaCHWATION Of the deal for Searcy's treachery created a storm of Indignation In the crowds both Inside and outside the courthouse, and murmurs were openly heard. One of the Jurymen asserted that Searcy should go every day as much aa the man be had betrayed. After the prisoners had been taken to Jail Mr.

White declared that the object tn continuing Searcy's caae was to prevent him from being convicted and made a felon, who, under the laws of Virginia, cannot testify. This proceeding would prevent him from appearing against Morganfleld in a new trial if one ahould be ordered. It la likely that sentiment In Stafford County will remain too strong to permit Searcy to escape. Tbe train robbers will be taken to Fredericksburg under guard of Sheriff Kennedy, Captains Hlnde and Els I en, of the Pinker- ton Agency, and Detective Wltte. of Cincinnati, who had been retained by Mr.

White to assist In tbe prosecution, a duty that he performed to the eminent aatis- foctton of all concerned. Mr. Wltte returns to Cincinnati to-morrow. J. W.

F. THE GUILD Can Progress No' Farther in the State of Ohio, Declares Mr. Hahn, SPSCIAt BISFATCB TO TSS BaQCIBSB. I Columbus, Ohio, February 28. State Superintendent of Insurance Hahn has Instituted an Investigation concerning a Vlr-glnla enterprise, Boine time ago Superintendent Hahn secured Information that What ta known as the Progressive Endowment Guild of America was endeavoring to extend its business into this state, its headquarters being at Richmond, Va.

He ascertained that the Guild was pursuing the methods of a secret society, and its efforts in this state were to form subordinate chapters. The State Superintendent obtained what purport to be official documents of ths organisation, and waa surprised to find from them that its chief officer, who Is called Governor, Is Governor CFerrelL of Virginia, according to the papers in the hsnds of the department here. The Guild seems to combine the features of life Insurance, endowment insurance, fra ternal sick benefits, building and loan asso ciations and secret societies. It issues cer tificates for $500 to $1,000, payable In full at death in case tbe Insured dies within 10 years from the time of bis entrance. At tbe end of 10 years the certificate is payable in full to the holder, this being the endowment feature.

On $1,000 the payments, calculat ing one each month.would amount to $480. ana lor tnis sum tbe uulld promises to return the full amount of the certificate. The difference Is claimed to be made up by Investing the money on the same plan as that of building and loan associations, or compounding the interest on the invest ments. In case of sickness of a member $5 a week Is allowed on each $1,000, but the money advanced In thla way Is taken out of the final payments. The membership Is divided into classes.

The age In Class A is limited to CO years. In Class the membership hi slightly different, the age limit In certain cases being 65 years, but in the event of death within one year only one tenth of the face value of the certificate Is payable; two tenths if death occurs within two years, and so on to the end of the period. Should the certificate bolder live to the end of 10 years be is prom ised the full amount of his certificate, as in Class A. Superintendent Hahn has decided that the operations of the Guild are not permissible under the Ohio laws, and says he will cause the arrest of any one found working tn its Interest. The most surprising feature of the affair, in view of the ruling of the Ohio department, is th prominent connection of Governor Robert CFarrel with the Guild, according to the documents tn tbe posses sion of Superintendent Hahn.
