PAYNE TIKI ST. ALBAN, RAIDER -The trial oil
Payne, the raider has been going on at St. AL.
bans the past week, Judge Pierpont presiding
The evidence was closed Saturday aiterno n.
The evidence introduced by the q Jverumsnt,
tended to show that Payne was at St Adams on
the day Of the raid, and was the person who
demanded the hat Of one Nettleton. HIS idep-
tity as this person was sworn to by Eve witnesses
and one other witness testified to seeing him a.
another time during the raid that in Jlnuar '
last Payne admitted to one Smith, government
detective that he was there at the time of the
rad, and gave Smith four hundred and twenty
dollars OF st. Adams and franklin county
uoney--that slxty-sI1 dollars in three dollar St.
Adams bills were found between thu lining and
outside of Payne'S oVercoat after his arrest.
The evidence for the respondent tended to
show that the man who committed the assault
on Nettleton could no. have been Payne, aud
that he WAS actually in Montreal during the
whole Of the day Of the raid. Quite number
Of witnesses were introduced TO establish both
of these theories.
The arguments were to be heard Monday, d
the case would probably be giveo to the jury
Monday night or Tuesday.

inches in length, foot wide and with an expansive
capacity of about foot, and paid s16 for it. Having
selected the article he placed it on the desk beside
the money packages, and, with the assistance of Mr.
it filed completely. There were in all about fifteen
packages, and Mr.. Cattnack thinks there must have
been about 500, 900 worth of greenbacks in them.
After locking the bag he again looked toilet

He then left the place, and that was the last seen Of
