sons, which took place on the 9th ult, on
a plantation in Cuba, called Ell Santo
Francisco Gouzalis Arrange and is situated
in Vuel Tade Abajo near Quibicon juris-
diction of Bejucal
1t seems that female slave resisted
the advances of the overseer of the planta-
ton, who then told such stories about the
woman that her owner ordered her to be
severely whipped. Nhen the punishment
was about to be inflicted it was found that
the woman would soon become mother
and her fellow slaves hoped that, on ac-
count of this, she might escape. But she
was whipped in horrible manner and
during the whipping her child was born.
The husband and six other slaves then
plotted to kill their master In revenge for
the cruelty perpetrated upon the woman,
but falling to find him at the appointed
time, they killed the overseer.
Arrange, the owner, reported the killing
of the overseer as only the first step
toward causing an insurection among his
slaves in favor of the insurgents, and that
those engaged were the conspirators,
After trial by court martial, in which
three were sentenced to be shot. another
trial took place and seven were condemned
to death. The sentence was soon executed
on Arangos plantation, the mother of the
husband of this woman subjected to the
bastinado being compelled to stand first III

A Wife Suspected of Having Poisoned Her
Husband

MENDOZA, ILL.,, Feb. 9. Some time
during last August a German named
CRUDE died here, ard was buried according
to the usual custom. The attending phys
clan remarked, at the time of his death,
that the symptoms resembled those of a
person who had been poisoned, yet bis
demise attracted no particular attention
then, and probably would not have done
SO afterwards, had not the wife of the de-
ceased almost Immediately commenced
receiving the attentions of man, whom
she afterwards married, named Schuetzer,
ieweler, with whom she is now living at
La Sale. The more the people thought
of the matter the more they became con-
vinced that the death of CRUDE at least de-
manded investigation They were more
especially driven to this conclusion from
several reasons, among them being that
deceased and wife had had frequent quar-
rels, during one of which the hired girl
heard Mrs, G. remark that if these things
continued. CRUDE would some day find
something in his coffee. They had
talked of divorce, but had come t.
nothing definite On that subject. They
had also each made will in which each
had willed to the other the property held
between them in the event Of either dying.
Deceased was taken sick from disease
supposed to be incident to the season. and
on the night of his death, before going to
bed, Mrs, G. requested the domestic, if
anything occurred in the night. to call her,
and if anything happened to Frank as
she called her husband, she wanted her,
the hired girl, to stand by her. That
night CRUDE died. In the morning, when
Mrs. G. came forth and stood before the
corpse of her husband, she exclaimed:
20! my God! Frank, forgive me!''
All these circumstances put together
caused the friends of the deceased to have
the body disinterred some months aftet
his death, and the contents of his stomach
were removed and sent to Chicago chemist
for examination. Last week coroner's
inquest was held, the jury being brought
by the coroner. DIR. Bry, from La Sale
who, upon investigating the case, reported
that Grubc came to his death from cause:
unknown, though there were traces o.
arsenic in his stomach.
This verdict is unsatisfactory to the
friends Of the deceased, who intend, we
understands 40 bring the matter,for tullei
investig CATION, before the Grand Jury.

GRANTS DEPOSITION TO BE TAEEl
TO HELP BAB OUT.
The Fact Revives the Recollection that
President Johnson's S Cabinet Proved
GIANT to have Lied.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 9-Iu tho Babceck
trial this afternoon, Mr. Storrs stated
that the defense had intended to have the
personal attendance of President Grant as
witness, but as the case now stands he
thought this would not be necessary. He
then proposed to the counsel for the prose
cution that they should meet with the
counsel for the defense and agree upon
the questions and cross-questlons to be put
to the President, and said that an exam-
iuation should be made before the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court. Col. Dyer
said he had no particular objections to the
arrangement, if il should appear after ex-
amiaing the interrogatories for the defense
that the government could be SIS well
served in this way as by the personal
presence of the President. The court then
adjourned till P. NJ
On the reassembling of the court Dis
trict Attorney Dyer stated that the couu
sci for the government had met the coun
sci for the defense regarding the questions
to be sent on to Washington, but they hao
not had time to prepare their counter ID
| terrogatories. He therefore asked the
court to adjourn until tomorrow morning
to afford both sides an opportunity tt
properly arrange their questions and cross
questions, and that the counsel may leav'
to night for Washington and arrive there
| in time to have the deposition takel
Saturday. Judge Porter joined in thi
request for adjournment.
Judge Dillon stated that the court reeog
nized the force of the suggestion of tn
counsel as to the expediency of the Pres
dent absenting himself from Washingto
at this time, and as the proposed arrange
ment would probably save time, tn
court was ordered adjourned until to-mol
row morning.
/ The consultation between the counsel
the Babcock case this afternoon resulte
in an agreement that the deposition {
President Grant shall be taken befor
Chief Justice Waite, next Saturday afte
noon, and the proceedings conducted Ink
an examination in open court. Both side
will be represented by counsel, Major
