coNsPIRAToRs-A REVIEW OF HARRINGToN's
CONNECTION WITH THE CRIME-EXCITING SCENE
IN CoURT-INTEREsTING RESUME OF TIE TEs-
TIMONY.
WAsIIIN GToN, Nov. 24.-The safe burglary
trial was resumed to-day. Whitley, who has been absent
since Friday. was In court. The room unusually
crowded In anticipation OF the continuation Of the argu
ment by Mr. Riddle. Mr.. Riddle resumed his argument
recapuatnga few Of the last paragraphs Of his argu
ment last night to refresh the minds of the jury and
then said Hayes was directed to meet Neteship, and
that the testimony OF Carter corroborated the fact that
Hayes did meet Nettlesbip. Tho defense ridcule
the Idea that Hayes went to Baltimore to eyade
superior on Saturday, the 18th Of April, and
say he went there to consult with Carter, No matter
what he went there for he did IL at the direction OF
Neeshp and Hayes was here to obey orders from the
party who employed him. 1t is not at all likely that
Alexander would have interposed this time to have
Hayes arrested for he wanted the hooks. But Hayes
went where Nettleship sent him. Before Hayes went
to Baltimore no visited HarriDgton's office. Now
the other side prove by distinguished testimony
that harrington was not there at that time:
