BY Mra. Fitzi is slightly acquainted with de-
o'clock, and about IL; The latter
time VAS about ton minutes before
the shot was fred; he was On Monroe street,
with three men, going toward Clinton street !;
after the shot heard some men running through
the yard and up stairs saw man 60 under the
sidewalk, come out, and go up stairs; about
half an hour after the shooting Cullen came
down stairs and jumped out Of the window Of
the dining room he wore light hat; didn't
him about o'clock when he YVES arrested; he
had an undershirt on and no hat; did not sec
him have the pistol.
Cross-E Examined: Q. At the time he Jumped
through the window WAS he drunk or sober?
Mr. Reed. I object.
hIr. Mason sought to show this, because, if the
man 'was sober, it would prove that be had an OBJ
ject in jumping from the window, and knew
what he was about; while, if he was drunk, the
act would have no Significance.
1ue Couft aelQ 1nat, Will THIS pea11nG, the
question might be competent. The act Of
jumping through the window might be consid-
cred circumstance of guilt, and the question
was put in order to explain that circumstance.
@. Was he drunk or sober A. think he
was drunk. He acted like it and looked like it.
He was drunk before the shot .was fired, I
know, for saw him On the sidewalk.
Mr. Reed objected to the latter phase Of the
question, and asked that it be struck out
The Court did not understand that the ques-
tion was asked with q view to making it an
excuse for crime. The Jury would be in
structed to the contrary. Tho only bearing Of
the question WAS as to the act Of jumping
through the window.
Witness added that before the shooting Cullen
sang louder than any Of the boys, and she could
see that he WIS very drunk he did not board
clothes he had on when he came down atairs.
The Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning.

National Bank act should be 40 amended IS to allow
free banking remedy for corners in the currency
market,
The National Banks had now monopoly Of
the currency, and we're continually cornefing it.
Mr. Randolph hoped he would amend it 90
that United States notes should be retired to
the extent that new bank notes we're issued.
Otherwise, it was nothing but imitation.
It WAS asked what relief Mr. Wright's resolu-
ton would afford, and the point was made that,
under the call, it IVES not pertinent. It was
likewise asked, By mr. sidway, whether it was
wise to call on the Secretary to Issue certificates
without knowing whether be had right to- He
had an undoubted right to reissue the forty-four
millions It YVES useless for the meeting to
recommend new bank policy, when Congress
could do nothing till November.

effect that the Eastern cities would be represent
ed at Washington Wednesday that there was
:: much unanimity as to the power OF the Secreta-
r., etc. He did not think anyone in Chicago
would favor the step it it contemplated q per1na-
nent expansion. But it there were corners in
currency, why should not the Secretary relieve
tue pressure, and then take back the currency

xnd advised the use of morsl and politicsl power
to bring about change in this respect. We are
more indebted to the Federal government than

should support it. He stated that the party led
ny Senators Trumbull and Schurz favored S;ste
