Of Abjah n. Everest on tho vituoBs. stand. Ever-
est iB tho Gancer who fed to Liverpool In 1875

spiracy. Ho was tho laat Collector Of the Ring.
THO lovornmont knowing him TO bo O worry ya!u-
nblo witncss, opened negotiations with him Tor
hiB return. and, a few woeka ago, he lantod In
America with nn nssurnnce that ho would
not be naolostod u ho would sppcar

has boon lid away from public gaza since bis
rcturn, and, on that account ho las acquired
tho sob1iquet OF /" The mysterious Witness" It
il quito probable that he knows mora Of the
la!ter history Of tho Whisky- -IIng than any ott-
OF Pofaon who played part thero!u. Thcro In
quite diversity of opinion as to tho probable
effect OF his ovsdonce. Good iawyors believe
that the admission mado by witness on croBs-
examination that ho did not actually SEQ
JOYCE put tho money in tho onvcl-
opo should deatroy tho value Of his
testimony altogether and paboocks attorneys will
maintain. The prosecution, however, kasett that, be-
fors they Rso through with tbs case, they will prove
certan oorrobofattng cfrcunstnncea which will esal
la beyond reaaousblo doubt not only that tho Inter
10 Dabcock contained tho 500 hll but at letteza
closlng like amounts were sent 70 lin periodically.
