INK TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
SYRACUSE. N. Y. Oct II. 1879.
Very little apparent progress made In the trial
of Greenfield to-day. Nine witnesses examined.
five of whom gave evidence bearing ON the character
OF the prisoner and that OF his father brother and
sister, who have been witnesses in his behalf. The
peoples witnesses all pronounce his character and
that Of his brother bad aud that they would not
believe them under oath. The father and sister
sustained an excellent reputation up to the time of
the murder, but their efforts since that time mainly
their alleged false swearing leads their neghbors to
say that they would not now believe them either
under oath.
wYMAN CONTRADICTORY.
The people to-day continued their attacks upon
E d. Wyman's evidence, the forlorn hope of the
prisoners Three moro persons testified
making up to this time in all upon the same
point-that Wyman must have sworn falsely when
he declared that he remained all night within short
distance Of the place Of the murder. aroused

and he dropped his face into his handkerchief to
conceal his emotion. Mrs. Potter posi-
lively that Tapln. one of the men who.
according to Wyman. took part in the
conversation, was on that night attending party
at her house. in the town OF voiney. twenty-six
miles from the scene, and remained there
until within two hours of the time
when the murder took place. Taplin is
also located at his fathers still later than this

him by going twenty-seven miles In an hour and
that too. at night. and over rough country roads.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.,. Oct. II. 1879.
Sometime after dark last night large balloon fell
on the farm OF A. Fiebrantz, In the town of
Milwaukee. four miles north Of this city.
The air ship was picked up and hauled
into tho city and temporarily stored in
a warehouse on the west side. This morning Mr.
Fiebrantz. who is member OF the Milwaukee Cham
Der Of Commerce, disclosed the fact Of his discov
cry to the members OF the Board and In a few min
utes this city was in state of great
exctement. Knots of excited citizens gathered on
the street corners aud in the corridors Of
tho prominent hotels and engaged in discussing tho
circumstances attending the finding Of the balloon.
In remarkably short period after the first an
nouncement large and excited crowd collected
about the warehouse in which the collapsed aerial
ship had been placed for safe keeping and clamored
for an opportunity to examine the same.
INSPECTING THE WRECK.

increasing multitude was satisfied. The canvas

APPEAL TO PUBLIC INDIGNATION.
All these statements with respect to the two
ladies Mr. Lewis characterized as the "vilest
and filthiest lies" He hoped that wave
public Indignation would sweep away such
abuses OF the liberty of the press ':No rank,
no station of life," he said sis safe from
the seurrility of such persons as the

that there was not the slightest foun-
dation for the allegations made against
them. Mr. CORVALLIS West also testified to
the untruth of the statements SO far as his
wife was concerned. He said he had done all
in his power to prevent the sale of her photo
