WASHINGTON, November 13.-At the
safe burglary trial, to-day, testimony
was introduced showing the trustwOrthi-
ness of Hays and Sirrith. A. NJ. Glib
| son, correspondent of the New York
| Sun, testified that he was present at an
interview between Solicitor Wilson and
Tom Shailor. Witness happened to be
in the solicitors Office some time in Au-
gust, when ShRilor came in. Witness
got up to go, but the solicitor asked him
to remain. The solicitor showed ShailOr
some kilograms, and, pointing to the let
| ter II in one Of them, asked him to
whom it referred. Shailor said it re-
ferred to one Hopper, who had been con-
nected with counterfeit case. He also
showed Shailor one relating to Howard,
and ShailOr said it referred to General
Howard. After Shailor had gone out,
witness asked the solicitor if ShailOr
would allow such men as Hopper to au-
thorize him to send kilograms for him,
and he said, +" 1t seems so.N
Mr.. Riddle read a portion of White
ly's monthly report, referring to the set
tlement, which stated that Nettleship
was in Washington April 2lst, 22d and
23d, attending to the Howard matter,
and that he left Washington on the night
of April 23d, for Philadelphia. A copy
of the telegram alleged to have been
stolen, was offered in evidence. The de-
fense objected. After argument, the
court decided to admit it, and the de-
fense noted an exception. The telegram
was read, being directed to. A. r. Will
Jams, in New York. 1t requested Will
Jams to come home that night, and
asked Nettleship to come with him, and
to keep q look out for Smith. 1t was
dated April 2lst, and signed Harry Rid
die. Notice was given that the prose-
cution had closed its rebutting testi-
mony.
The defense called Harry Williams,
brother of A. B. Williams. Rememb beTs
when his brother was in New York last
April; sent two kilograms to him. A
copy of the missing telegram was shown,
and witness said it was the one he di-
rected. The telegram was in care Of
VIM. Hale, and a copy was read to
William Fall. He also directed his
brother to ask @. TO come home with
him, and this copy made it n. Witness
said n. referred to George Genet. He
sent kilograms to his brother at the re-
quest of Richard Harrington. Some
documentary evidence was here intro
duced, and A. B. Newcomb was recalled,
The monthly report of Whitley was
handed to him, and he recognized 8 re-
port which he made for that month. A
letter accompanying it was written and
signed bv Whitley.
Mr.. Rid He'll Ell we have got a sig-
nature that you will admit is Whiteiy's.
Witness-Msde up this report from
documents and reports which came in
to his hands in the office. Nettleship
was such a poor writer that witness
could not make out all his reports.
Both disagreed that the testimony was
all in.
Davidge, for reference, made q propo.
sition to submit the case to the jury
without argument. Hill, for the gov
ernment, objected.
Riddle stated he was so i'll be could
not remain in court the remainder
OF the day, and was about to suggest
that the court adjourn over till to-mOr-
row, when Davidge said that inasmuch
as the case would run into next week
he would suggest that the court be adj
journed to Monday
After fifteen minutes were spent in
arranging matters, the judge said he
thought he had learned enough from the
counsel to adjourn the court till Mon
day at twelve O'Clock, and on that day
they would have a continuous sitting
until Mr.. Hill had completed his argu-
ment, or until four O'Clock.
By arrangement between the counsel,
there are to be at least four arguments
to the jury, and perhaps more. Each
will probably occupy the attention Of
the Jury one day. The court instructed
the jury again, and warned the bailiff
in charge that they had a solemn duty
to perform.
