Colonel Dyer then read q number OF

the courts decision. AT tue opening OF
the afternoon session. In reading the
message TO Babcock over the signature
Of Grit" Judge Krum said We Oh
iect TO that telegram. As far as the lea
timony in this case Is concerned, 1t Is
simply shown that this Is in the hand
writing OF Joyce, sent from st. Louis
and received by Que OF the portsrs or
door.keepsrs at the executive mansion.
The point We make 10 that the original
telegram rs written was, n q matter OF
necessity, received at Washington ; and
40, II General Babcock did receive the
telegram signed Grit" no could not
know from whom that came. Besides.
there is not a word in tho indictment az

Question by the Court-Is there any
answer TO this

ken in regard to 1t.
Tho Court-Has any testimony been
delivered as TO that dispatch except the
sending and receipt OF III
Krum-None, except what was stated
in Colonel Dyer's opening speech.
Dysr-That's enough. That opening
speech seems TO trouble the gentleman
considerably. This dispatch was sent.
That testimony introduced rs to tho acts
OF Mcdonald and Joyce shows that they
raised SO, 900 for Mcdonald TO take to
Washington; that he did take the money
to Washington. leaving hsre on the 10Th
and tslegraphing back on tho 2lst and
23d Of the month.
Krum-Is that evidence explaining

Krum There was no evidence that

ington. There was testimony that
money was paid him TO take TO WASH
ington, but not a word 10 show that he
took II. There 10 nothing in the case
to show that Babcock knew who Grit
was.
The court said this telegram would be
laid over with those OF December ID and
9Th in order that its admissibility might
further be considered.
The following is the telegram in ques.
ton, but 1t has not been passed upon by
the court. II has been admitted. how
