WASHINGTON, May ).
Much excitement has existed here to-day
owing to the death OF a young woman under
circumstances which justified post norton
examination. II appears by the evidence
elected that she was dismissed last January
or February from the National Currency Blu
reau for absenting herself without leave.
The principal female witness is an employee
in that Bureau, aud her testimony was to the
effect that another female employee was the
accessory of a man named Lewis in an effort
made by him TO hide his alleged victims from
shame. Both the women are occasional ac-
tressps. The latter, it is said, recently re-
ceiyed permission to ill theatrical engage
ment. The testimony, however, was not fully
sustained, and the verdict OF the jury was that
she came to her death by pleuro peumonia.

for defendants
No. 277. Ira G. Kimball, executor, vs. A.A.
Knowles ct. ais. Assumpsit on note for
S., 1888 90, signed by A. A. Knowles and Jesse
Churchill, as principals, and Philander Coburn
as surety, dated July 6, 1854, and payable TO
Ira Croker in three years, with interest an
nually. Coburn, the surety, defends on the
ground that the note was secured by the prin-
cipals by mortgage of land and also by lien
on timber TO be cut on said land, and which
has been cut, sufficient to pay the same; but
that Croker has discharged him by giving up
and by gross negligence losing, said lien, and
by permitting the timber to be stripped from
said land. Not finished.
