Mr. Riddle then examined the other N. teIS-
grams which he urged meant HarrlngISn' ant
then came down to what he styled the hos'
important Of all.
THIS TELEGRAM WAS STOLEN
because of its Importance. II was said LEst haT-
~ Williams wrote that telegram. "TRc voiea
was the voice OF Jacob, bHtChe hand was the'halEy
hand of Esau-" This telegram had atsapPe,5red
for purpose and that purpose emphasized that
MI. r. inferred that the address was in the
hand of A. & Williams, and was LETT a. home
when ne went to New York, that it might be sent
TO him after he got there. Mr.. A. B, Williams,
with placid, smooth face sHd low voice, that

wss the only man who did not lose his head on
that fslal night, when 80 many things were Sost.

He then took up the anonymous letter; and said
that the fact that Harrington showed this letter
tR various persons was as consistent with one
theory OF the case as the other. He thon noted
that although Harrington was so alarmed when
he was told that Jensen had been seen about the
next cay he passed Hayes and the burglar, Miles
Williams, intOthe room where the Threatened
safe was, closed the door behind them and left
then.
Al thispoint a recess was taken, aud at its close
Me Riddle resumed The office OF Mr.. Hsrrlng-
ton might have been lighted up tC give warning

| Night Alexander had given the committee In
| EOrms ton OF the proposition tbathad been made
TO him. and he had said nothing 60 the police, De-
| cause he thought they were
ON THE SIZE OF THE RING,
| q decision which perhaps was Proper. Mr. Ha=-
| rIDgtOn IL his speech on Saturday had SAID that
It was got until ne nSarq th s1c 5s sseT
! he was satisfied that burglary was intended.

Mir. Riddle, proceeding, examined the evidence
as 10 the watch on the night Of the burglary, i'd
yerting as he passed TO the statement OF Mr.. Har-
| rinEtCn on Saturday that but tor the mud in J u
| dietary Square, forcing Maj. Richards and MI.
Harrington round to the front OF the office OF the
| District Attorney, Mr.. Harrington would have
| gone home. Why they had lett ClaryOe and A.
! Is. Williams on the watch. Who supposed that
| be would have gone home and not told them.
| Mr.. Harrington had, the evidence showed, order
| ed the watch from the back, In order that one Of
! the burglars, the one who IL was agreed should
| not be arrested, should escape. He insisted that
| all the circumstances Of the watch, the presence
! OF men en- the watch, the loud call Of Harrington
| to Tom Shepherd OF tell them to come round
! here: they have come out in frOnt''-all the cir
| cumstances showed that the burglars had no lear
! Of arrest.
| Tie speaker then called attention to the move
| meuts OF a. b. Williams. He did not lose his
! head, but he lost his man. He did not lose his
| man until he had
| near sixth street, and then hurried up that
| street and cane out on E street between Benton
! and those who followed him. He had lost one
! burglar but he was sure enough in following the
| ether. Commend him to q man who lost his
| head, hut found his man.
| Mr. r. then turned to the efforts to bride Zir-
ruth to 90 away, and then TO the efforts TO dis.
| credit his testmOny. Curry nrst pays him 81, O0O
TO 20 out Of the country, and then when he don t
| GO, Curry runs down TO Newton, and hunts up
men 20 swear that Zirruth is not worthy Of credit.
Turning then to the events in Washington sue
eeeding the Sd OF April, he colated the evidence
| TO show that Harrington whose fOrbearanec to
| Alexander had been so much Wanted, took steps
| upon what he supposed would be the evidence OF
! George Carter to charge Alexander with the
crime. But on finding that Carter was about to
call upon Alexander, he calls on MGdge, and begs
him to
HIRE AND HOLD HIN
for US in the service and he would pay his salsry
| But M8dge had refused, and then comes in the
| HI" kilograms of Nay again. H wanted Net.
tleshiD 10 como on. III wanted him in hurry.
| H WIS sick; no wonder Nettleship telegraphs
| back that he will be here by the 5th. and on the
! 5th "N."dOe not come, but Somerville does come
/ instead.
| Mr. r. then reviewed the circumstances at
! tending SCmerville's visit and the affidavit sworn
| to by Benton, and handed to Harrington Bea.
! toms claim upon Mr.. Harrington, and said it was
not yery clear but II was very strong as the action
OGHarTingtOn proved. 1t was in view Of this that
the meeting with SOmerVille at the Continental
hotel took place, and there was an evident inten,
| tiOn 10 keep this meeting from the public. He
had not proved that Nettleship was present but he
had proved tnat III. was ANXIOUS 10 see IN ettlc
and that Nettleship was absent from New York
, and none Of his friends knew where he was,
Harrington certainly did not leave Washington
| without money, but when he came back he had
10 telegraph to q friend to pay his board bill. II
| he met BentOn's attorney and Benton wanted
money this was all understood: He then referred
TO the endeavOr to get BentOn's affidavit for S2OJ
/ all as showing that the Intent to prosecute 20.
/ lumbus Alexander had not been abandoned.
The court then adjourned until Tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock. Mr.. Riddle expects TO close h!
/ argument at boon today.
