Y. in a it of of in the I FRD'S theatre investigation, I Continued from Bret results in the suppression of testimony. We (the jury) think this about covers the material points involved in this case.

The Deputy Coroner decided that although there were eighty six persons desirous oi being heard, only witnesses who could testify directly as to the points named should be questioned. Continuing his testimony, Mr. Muilack aid he believed the building was dan gerous but he did not care to complain. because he felt that if he had complained bis position would not be secure. lie did not believe in this civi! service busi ness: it afforded no protection.

Ernest P. Borger, another clerk, told of the belief among clerks that the building was dangerous. He had been told by one clerk, Fred. Collins, that the building was in danger of collapsing. and he had replied tiuvfc it it did lapse Ainsworth ought to be under it.

The stairs were by no means adequate. and he had noticed the bulge in the rear all. Questioned by Juror Hanvey, the wit ness said be bad been induced to make the remark about hoping Colonel Ains worth would be under the building if it collapsed on account ot Colonel Ains worth treatment ot the clerks. Ibe granting of leaves had not been fairly done, and a number ot old clerks bad been reduced. Ernest Baier, a Record and Pension Division clerk, told of his fear that the theatre building would fall during the progress ot tne excavation.

lie bad ways believed tne structure dankeroas. One day during a heavy wind the build ing bad sua hen and trembled visibly and perceptibly. It bad trembled that water in bottles could be seen to shake. He had not made complaints to his superior officers because he feared the consequences. He knew that a clerk named lease or Pease had asked tor transfer to another building, and had been told that his only recourse was to resign.

The clerks felt strongly against Colonel Ainsworth and Jacob rech because they bad not been furloughed while the excavation was going on. THAT ALLEGED PKTITION. The witness gave the first testimony concerning the existence of the alleged petition to Colonel Ainsworth asking that the clerks be furloughed during the progress of the work in the basement. He said be understood that sucn a pet tion had been drafted, but clerks feared to sign it because they feared that they might be injured. Air.

liiner said be did not know of bis personal knowledge that such a petition had been prepared, but he mentioned the namas ot two clerks who he understood had signed it. Jnst betore Mr. Baier began his test. mon Depu ty Coroner Schaeiler was served with papers issued by Chief Jus tice Ktnicnani, ot tne iSupreiue court ct the District of Columbia, directing him to appear in answer to a petition filed tv Col. Ainsworth, requiring that he, Col.

Ainsworth, be allowed to be represented by connsel at the inquest. A. u. crosby tea ti be a to the death oi J. N.

Cbapin, on whose remains the in quest is being held. r. Edwards, who followed, was one of the few clerks who went into the cellar while the excavation was going on. tie said be saw no underpinning The building was considered unsafe by tbe clerks. He did not know ot any un usual fear on the part of the employees while the excavation was going on.

leatimony that tbe clerks were di rected to walk carefully on tbe stairway in tbe theatre building was given by Harry rsrandon, a third. noor clerk, These directions were given more than ten days ago by a negro messenger. 1' rank Randolph and other clerks gave testimony about tbe hard leeling between employees and their superiors. At l.uo o'clock tbe iury took a recess until 1.45 p. in.

There were no wit nesses called upon the reassembling of the coroner's jury. Deputy Coroner Schaeffer simply rapped for order and stated that as he would have very littl time between then and o'clock to prepare his reply to the order of Chief Justice Bingham, of the District Supreme Court, he would adjourn the inquest. It was accordingly adjourned till 11 clock to morrow. Cross examined by Mr. Adams, wit ness said tbe heaviest blow given Mr.

rtorden was tbe one wbicb cut the eye. be assailant ot Mr. Korden. provided short handled hatchet was used, would necessarily be close to his head, and would receive some spatters on tbe clothes. On Mrs.

Borden the witness found 22 wounds, eighteen of them cuts the head, one in tbe back, and three contusions on the face. The assailant of Mrs. Borden must have been more or less spattered with blood in front, although some of the blood might have gone in the air and come down behind and that the face and hair might reasonably have received some blood splatters. If fresh blood were pot on tbe bead of a hatchet in Augnst, on a hot day in our climate, it would dry quickly, if not spread too thick. The blood wonld intermingle witn rust, and would wasb on less easily than if smeared on a bright surface.

If blood was smeared on a rusty hatchet at, say, 10 clock, it would in an hour be dried in, on a hot day, and could not very readily be washed off. I think this case the blood would come off before the rust, and there would be difficulty detecting the presence of blood there by chemical test. David W. Cheever, Boston, a physician and surgeon ot do years' experience, test. fied tbat he had been shown the skulls and had since then studied them with a view to determining the character and eneciof the blows.

He believed Mrs. Borden died first, the minimum time be ng one hour, tbe maximum not more than two hours. The iniuries on the bones were made by a heavy metalic in strument with a sharp edge of not more than 31 inches, such hatchet. He had examined the bindleless hatchet, and assuming it had handle of ordinary length, be thought would mnke the wounds. He under stood tbe nature of the wounds, and was the opinion that a hatchet not smaller tban tbe one previously described could perhaps have been used, but in no evei can the maximum of 34 inches be ex ceeded.

Cross examined by Mr. Adams. An instrument of a cutting edge of 3 inches and possibly less might have made ore the wounds on Mrs. Borden. Witn thought the assailant of Mrs.

Borden stood face to face with her when the scalp wound was made, and that tbe others were made when the assailant was astride of the victim. He thought tbe assailant must have been spattered from the waist up. If the assailant stood bestride the victim it was a ques tion, tbongnt, wbetner tbe clotbes would be spattered, because tbe dress would have a tendency to hide them. COL. AINSWORTH FILKS A PETITION.

Col. Ainsworth filed a petition trivioe detail a statement of the condition of building and bis participation in the work, which is tbe first statement Dealing directly upon the case he has made since the accident. Col. Ainsworth asked that a writ of mandamus might issue reqnirins the coroner to permit him to be present at tbe inquest with witnesses in his behalf, and to cross examine witnesses adverse to him. District Attorney Burney opposed the issn ing of a writ of mandamus and the Conrt took the question under advisement nntil 10 o'clock to morrow morning.

A Serious Statement from Pre Ident Harris to tbe Stockholders and Bondholders. Philadelphia, Juue 13.

Wesideut Harris, of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, this evening issued a statement to the stockholders and bondholders of the Compauy relative to the proposed rehabilitation plan. He says: The affairs of the Reading Company have reached an important crisis. To meet pressing obligations the property nas ea uiKeu possesion oi by tne United States court, and the oOicers appointed by luui court uave reported tnat its due and unpaid obligations amounted on the 13th of March to $18, 4 72, 8:28. Loaus made shortly before the receivership have locked np tbe securities which other wise might have been nsed to raise money in tbe present emergency, so that tbe corporation finds iiselt deprived of available resources and of credit at time when it is dilliuult for borrowers much more favorably situated to obtain money. Many oi tne existing loans are overdue, and when the forbearance of their holders shall be exhausted ihey may sell the securities which are pledged with them.

These securities are largely stocks of the companies whose properties constitute the Reading system of railroads. The holding of them is of vital importance to the integrity of that system, and if now sold they must be bought back at probably greatly enhanced prices before the company's affairs can be placed again in a position of safety. At this ji jture a plan of rehabilita tion is presented which, after stating the position of the company, suggests to tbe holders of its securities that they shall advance the sum necessary to rescue their property from its perilous position, and ftates that in so far as they do not desire to do this, other parties stand ready to furnish the necesfca ry capital. Continuing, Mr. Harris says this plan has given rine to much discussion, iu which some contend tbat the amount of relief provided for therein wifl not save the Company, but he cla ms tbat he is couiirmed in the belief tht if reasonable prosperity in the country at largo shall continue, the earnings of this Company should ordinarily be suOicieut to pay its obligatory charges; and that if a careful conservative policy, which shall deelop the present estate and positively refuse to make new ventures shall be pursued, the Company's position should gradually grow stronger.

Mr. Harris says if tbe assistance asked for in the rehabilitation plan is afforded and the plan is carried out, prudent and careful management can prevent the recurrence of such a crisis. He thinks the security holders will make a very serious miHtatte ii tney ao not accept the relief offered them. He intimates that the management of the company duriniE tbe last twenty years has not been such as to bring to it the best financial results, and expresses the conviction that prudent management can place tbe company on a sound footing. He says tbat recent occurrences in the management have effected a saving of over $200,000 per an nm, and greater economies can he made without impairiui the ethciencv of the organization.
