had never seen any writing which he knew to be that of Garfield and had only seen three signatures upon cards, which he was told were Garfield's. He also admitted that in his affidavit he had made numerous mis- statements, such as that he had seen Garfield's writing and that the Mercy letter was ad- dressed to Henry L. Mercy, when the name Henry never appeared. He further admitted that after getting his 1925 and making his aff- davit he went back to the person to whom he had previously said the Mercy letter was a forgery and told him he had changed his mind and begged him to say nothing of his former opinion. He also admitted that he left the Boston bank ''short" in his account. It has been shown by one witness who had continually revised Philips manuscript that he had a habit of spelling "compa- nys'' as is done in the letter. The defense have shown by several witnesses who have had occasion to see his writing that they ney- CT noticed such misspelling.
 The case will probably be closed Monday unless the defense drags it out longer. No one here doubts that the decision will be that the Mercy letter is forgery and that Philp forged it. MARSHALL JEWELL, Chairman.

The Contest for the AstIey Belt.
 LONDON, Oct. 31.-The Sporting Life says 'tAll the pedestrians who have entered the competition for the Astley belt are in splendid condition, and it is expected that more than one of them will cover 600 miles. Since the arrival in England of John Dobler, of Chicago, the weather has prevented much outdoor ex- ercise, and he will consequently start about ten pounds over his ordinary racing weight. Rowell, Blower Brown and Littlewood, of Sheffield, are undoubtedly the three best men in England, and if either of them is beaten by one of the Americans the belt will not be seen in England again for some years. The start will take place exactly at the time fixed Gone o'clock in the morning), irrespective of any absentees.'
 LONDON, Nov. 1.-The start in the long distance championship pedestrian competi- ton commenced at 1 o'clock this morning with the following competitors Pegram of Boston, Mass, Howard of Montclair, N. J., Dobler of Chicago, Blower" Brown of Low ell and Iittlefeld.

Payne Going to Colonize the Indian Ter
 ritory.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-A Wichita (Kansas) special says the advent of Captain Payne last evening was the occasion of lively sensa- tion. He was met at the depot by an enthu- siastic delegation of the Oklahoma colony company and escorted to headquarters by rapidly increasing throng. After a private conference of the leaders the Captain re- turned to his hotel. Captain Payne is en- tirely confident of being able to move into the Indian territory in November with sever- al thousand colonists. The reports made to headquarters represent southern Missouri, Arkansas, northern and western Kansas, but chiefly northern and western Kansas. They will come not single spies, but in battal- ions, and the movement no doubt will be 8 formidable one. Judging from the corre- spondence received one would suppose the whole country was on wheels. Payne and his heutenants greatly elated at the out look and know no such word as fail.
