Sun, testified that he was present at the
interview between Solicitor Wilson and
Tom Shayler; witness happened to be
, in the Solicitors Office some time in
August, when Shayler came In; witness
got up to go, but the Solicitor asked him
! to remain; Solicitor showed Shayler
some kilograms, and pointing to the letter
II in one of them, asked him to whom it
referred. Shayler said ..it referred to one
Hopper, who had been connected with II
counterfeit case; he also showed Shayler
one referring to Howard; after Shayler
had gone out, witness asked the Solicit
or if Shayler would allow such man as
Hopper TO authorize him to send telc-
grams for it, and he said: 1T seems So"
Mr.. Riddle read II portion of White
ley's monthly report, referring to Nettle-
ship, which stated that Nettleship was in
Washington on the 2lst, 22d, and 23d of
April, attending to the Howard matter
and that he left Washington on the night
of the 23d of April for Philadelphia. a
copy OF the telegram alleged to have
been stolen was offered in evidence. The
defence objected. After an argument
the Court decided to admit, and the de-
fence noted an exception. The telegram
was read, being directed to a. b. Will
liams, in New York. 1t requested Will
liams to come home that night, and asked
Ncttleship to come with him, and keep q
lookout for Smith. 1t was dated April
2lst, and signed Harry.
Mr.. Riddle gave notice that the prose-
cution had closed its rebutting testimony.
The defence called Harry Williams, a
brother of A. B. Williams. Remembers
when his brother was in New York last
April; sent II telegram to him. The
copy of the missing telegram was shown,
and witness said it was the one; he di-
rected telegram in care of VIM. Hall,
and copy read VIM. Hall; he also direct
ed his brother to ask e.. to come home
with him, and this copy made
it N; the witness said &. re-
ferred to George Genet; he sent
a telegram to his brother at the request
of Richard Harrington. Some dOcumen-
tary evidence was here introduced. y.
b. Newcomb was recalled and the
monthly report of Whitley was handed
to him and he recognized it as the report
which he made for that month; the let
ter accompanying it was written and
signed by Whitley. Mr.. Riddle, then
we have got one 81 signature that you will
admit as Whitely's? Witness made up
this report from documents and reports
which came into his hands in the office;
Nettlcship was such II poor writer that
witness could not make out all his report.
Both disagree that the testimony was
now in.
Davidge for the defense made propo-
sitiOn to submit the case to the jury with
out argument.
Hill for the government objected.
Riddle stated that he was so i'll that he
could not remain in court the remainder
of the day, and was about to suggest that
court adjourn over until to- morrow, when
DaN dgc said that inasmuch as the case
would run into next week he would -uG-
gcst that court be adjourned until Mon
day.
After fifteen minutes spent in arrang-
ing matters, the Judge said he thought he
had learned from the counsel enough to
adjourn till Monday ut T. o'clock, and on
that dav would have continuous sitting
until Hill, had completed his argument,
or until four o'clock. By arrangements
between the counsul there are to be at
least four arguments to the jury and per-
haps more. Each will probably occupy
the attention of the jury one day. The
Court instructed the jury again, and
warned the bailltf in charge that they
had a solemn duty topcrform.

to-day, Michael Hayes, the principal wit
ness for the government in the case OF
