This trial developes one OF the most extraordinary
systems Of isolated fraud that ever took place-but
even this particular case, now under trial, is no.
thing to the history of Eidridge himself, which
surpas ses romance itself. We have received full
and authentic detail Of his singular previous histo
~ in Rochester, in New York, in England, and in
France, which we shall give tomorrow, il possible
On this subject we received last evening the fol.
lowing interesting accounts from our correspon-

PHLApELrHIA, Nov. ii, 1910,

repgblish il at length; tits worthy of it, Il occu-
have not agreed. bat it is currently reported that
large majority is in favor Of acquttal. P. Nj not
agreed yet and the court is adjourned until to-
the verdict will be rendered. Mr.. Reads speech
for the prosecution is spoken Of mastery effort,
and II is worthy Of his reputation; he is the United

hamor.
PHILApELPAIA, New. IL, 1910.
MR EpI-oR:-The public attention is on tiptoe
for the verdict in Eldridge's case. This morning
Judge Conrad charged the jury, and they retired TO
a in the State House. One Of the jury request
ed his Honor not to send them to tavern the usual
custom is and ne agreed at to do so, remarkng
that it was very commendable request. The prac-
tce OF send ng jurymen tavern room is wrong, but
there is helping it, for the public buildings
| tain accommc datisns for jurors The charge of
Judge Conrad the finest specimen of bench elo-
quence / ever heard, and his manner of delivery
was the most eloquent Of all in truth the best part
of the thing, nothing dsparaging his handsome Ian
| guage and happy arrangement He is handsome
man; his voice is full and harm oncus, and his
is impressive, and there is high moral tone in
his Off cial compositions. Jude Com ad is young, but
has been driven into station by the force Of his ia
lents and is likely to rise high. If General Hsrri-
son wants an aid TO his administration Of real SER
ney General of the United States, and he will be
the greatest gamer OF the two by the selection.
