About 'ward's Neck by-Strong Testimony, Hackman Gives Most Damaging Testimony Corroborating Aciry's and Blixt's Stories. prompt to gave him pre-eminence umong men of that lawless and sanguinary era. Some of the peculiarities of tnis worthy Brown naturally made him an uncomfortable companion at the gaming table.

At poker his habit of reinforcing a pair of deuces with two revolvers and a bowio knife whenever the size of the pot made it au object, tended to make conservative players shy of his company. When playing in bad luck at faro he would, as a matter of course, 'help himself to his neighbors' stack of chips, and it was an ignorant or hardy man who ventured to protest. Meeting a stranger on the road whoso horse struck his fancy he soon convinced the traveler by his characteristic modes of persuasion that an exchange of animals was for his advantage. His services wore in frequent request by mine and town lot jumpers, for the intimidation of prior claimants, and merely his presence on the scene of contest was apt to turn the scale, the merits of the case being a minor consideration after Sam Brown had taken his side. It is told, however, that in this sort of business ho once found his match in a stalwart and newly-arrived young lawyer named Stewart, now United States senator from Nevada, who, with hand in hip pocket, clutched the butt of a revolver, cross- examined Sam at a referee's court in a way that brought this masterful desperado dead to rights and won his admiration and friendship for tho man who dared so boldly to confront and browbeat him.

In an old report of the United States States geological survey upon tho Cornstock mining and miners Eliot Lord thus narrates two typical incidents in Sam Brown's career: "The most prominent figure of tho crew desperadoes of Virginia was a burly ruffian known as Sam Brown, who had killed in Texas and California, as was reported, before his arrival at Virginia City. The terror and aversion which this man inspired recall the nursery tales of tho days of ogres and their In the summer of 1353 an agent of the leading western express company called at a station which Brown then was keeping on the Humbolt river and desired something to eat. Brown pointed to a hanging strip of bacon and the traveler requested tho loan of n. knife to cut oft a slice. With an odd smile P.rown pulled out his immense sheath-knife, but immediately thrust it back iuto his bootleg, remarking that ho had killed five men with that knife and was superstitious about lending it to cut bacon.

The visitor was equally scrupulous nnd left tho cabin without the meat. "One of Brown's first exploits in the new mining district was a mnrdor, which illustrates vividly the character of tho man and the camp. A weak, underwittcd barroom lounger whoso feeble discretion was lost in liquor staggered up to Brown one day in a saloon and made some'remark which tho latter considered offensive. Without a word tho giant wound his muscular arms about his victim, nnd, holding him as easily as a cat does a mouse, drove a sheath-knife twice into his quivering body, turning it 'Maltese fashion' in his vitals. Then he flung- the bleeding sufferer on the floor, and a few minutes later, a party took, up tho man, still breathing faintly, from the rod pool behind tho bar, Brown was seen sleeping as calmly as a child on a billiard table in the room." Sam Brown's last day wss perfectly in keeping with the rest of his violent career.

He had become offended at a ranchman of Carson Valley named Van Sickle, and went'to his house in Carson City to kill him. Van Sickle was not at home when Sam rode into the yard to carry out his and the desperado, forcing his way into the house, searched it from the roof to the cellar for his intended victim, throwing things about and terrify ing the women. Upon leaving the house he encountered the officers of tho law on the street, and kept up a running fight with them as he rodo out of town. A sheriffs posse was organized and started in pursuit, determined this time to kill or capture Sam Brown. Vau Sickle, on learning of the.

visit to his house, did not join the posse, but rightly conjecturing that Sam would make fora certain out-of-the-way ranch used by outlaws for the concealment of stolen horses, rode alone to this place by a short by-path, and finding no one there pat his horso in the stable and waited for the desperado's coming. Sam soon appeared riding 1 up to the stable. Van Sickle met him at the door with a shotgun heavily loaded slugs and buckshot, and instantly emptied both barrels into him. The ruffian dropped dead from his horse, but Van Sickle took no chances with Sam Brown and proceeded to empty every chamber of his revolver into him to make stre of his work. "Served him right," "was "the verdict of the coroner's -Y.

Illicit Driver Teotllles. Tho first witness introduced in tho morning was none other tlmh the Jiackman of w.V..-:u Harry hud spoken to 'Adry willing, to assist in tho proposed crime.

Vallnlic's testimony was most damaging to the defense, as it corroborated in a striking way one portion of Adry Hayward's remarkable story and thus rendered thoroughly untenable the defense's pet theory us to Adrv's sanity. Him to Drown Vallalio testified that Harry Hayward had approached him with a question as to whether he had ever "done anything-," and if so whether his conscience had ever bothered him. Hayward had later asked Vallalio whether he would drive a hack into Lake Calhoun and let the occupant drown for a sum of money. "1 told him I was no swimmer," said Vallalie, "and that was about the end of it." Bltxt and Adry CpJield. This is the first corroboratlon of the of Blixt and Adry obtained from an entirely outside source and exhibited in a striking way Hayward's strangely careless way of asking incriminating questions and making damaging statements.

That a man capable of concocting so cunning intricate a plot should have made so many confidants seems almost as in- crodible as that ho should have concocted the plot at all. Wanted Evidence Stricken Out. Mr. Erwin at once recognized tho su- premo importance of the testimony and tried to have it stricken out entirely. The court, however, refused to sustain his objection, and tho evidence goes to jury.

It was a knock-out blow reserved by the state until the very last, and sadly upsets tho defense's plans. Wltneuei for Defame. The defense had many of its witnesses in court Wednesday morning 1 ready for use when the state should rest.

She demurred, but he told her if she would do as he asked she would never lack for money. Against the advico of her husband, she consented to do as Harry asked. Accordingly when Miss- Gins' came with Barry she told her that she would be very lucky at cards for threo or four days and then would lose if she played. Tho next day Harry came and told her that on the strength of her advice Miss Ging had let him have to go to Chicago nnd gamble with.

Afphalted Kept Clean Ertn In Che Poorest A foreigner comingjo -bythe exael- lent streets, and. further by the exceptional manner in-which they arc taken care ot Almost they are asphalted, even "where they are narrowest, and not only in the middle of tho city, but far ouUnto the suburbs. This work has been done in the most substantial manner. This department of city affairs is intrusted to skillful officers, who perform their duty, according to the latest scientific principles. In the center of the city a large tract, of street is now beinff torn up for new- horse car tracks, and it is an instructive sight to see the Cno scale upon which the work is done.

The foundation is at least a foot in depth of the hardest possible mixture of small stones and cement. Upon this, by means of monstrous rollers and other, machinery, is placed the asphalt, which is not raoro than half an inch in thickness, but which, on account of the strong 1 sub- work, wears like the everlasting rock. It seldom needs repair, says the Philadelphia Telegraph; it docs not run away in hot weather, and docs uot rut tinder the heaviest kind of traffic. This adds materially, of course, to the beauty of and facilitates the work" of cleansing tho streets, another department of municipal administration which is attended to in the most effective manner. Cleansers in uniform are constantly at work in all parts of tho city, with broom 'and brush heap af Uie rafuso before the curbs, to be hauled ofl to the city farms during the night.

At intervals each day water carts are driven over the streets, and boys follow after with squeegees, which they propel by long handles washing every particle of filth away. Tbe excellent condition of the streets of Berlin is onti of the reasons why tho city has none of those districts which have come to be called "slums." While London and Pavis, not to mention the Italian and Spanish cities and some cases nearer home, suffer in a notable manner from the congestion of the poor at certain points, where they live crowded together under the most unhealthy surroundings, this is not to any extent true of Berlin. There are districts in the east and north where the poor live together, but in nothing like the misery and squalor which one will find The streets, as already remarked, are asphalted, and they are clean. They arc nearly everywhere wide. There are none of those little dark alleys which exist in other cities.

The houses are well built and sound.
