HILL VS.. ELSTNER.
THE PLAINTIFFS TRAGIC TEsr1MoNY-HE .Is
CoNTGADICIED BY TWO WITNESSES.

! The cross examination Of Mr.. Elstner VA
continued yesterday morning Under thf
searching questions of the attorney the wit
meas lost the confident, self-possessed all
which he had worn the day before and when
cornered, eauiyoc.tsd and evaded in a style
that rendered most of the testimony valueless.
He posed and gesticulated for the benefit Of
the Jury and occasionally threw down the
books on the table and drew back, cxcaming
with melo-dramatic air, - There is the open
record. Look at the books; they have al.
ways been open, gentlemen" Experts whe
had examined the books could make nothing
of them The witness testified. in addition
to his direct examination, that On April GOTH,
1880, in the Magnolia saloon, Mr. Hill agreed
| to give him $3.50 a month and let the agree
! ment date back to his first coming into the
office. It was also shown that he had paid
his daughter $50 for some writing, and he
considered it well worth 800 The plaintiff
here rested and DO other witnesse, were called
on his side.
TEE DEFENSE.
Mr.. Hill, the defendant. swore that when
he employed Mr.. Esther as deputy, GA De-
cember 5, 1873, he stipulated that he was to
paw him $50 Z month This was in the
Magnolia saloon When the offer was made
Mr.. Elssner said "Mr Hill, | cannot tell
you how grateful | am for this: the Engiish
language does not contain the words which
would express my feelings" He never agreed
To /, .nf 4 r.oi1 hDc IN
give the plaintiff $3.50. He always let Mr..
Elstner run the office, as he claimed to know
all abeut it. lie had implicit confidence in
him, and seldom looked at the books when
he did he was unable, on account of Els.ners
methods of bookkeeping, to ascertain mnch !
about the business He did Just as Esther |
told him to do, as he (the defendent) felt that |
he was a green hand in the business. Elstner's |
creditors were continually after him for
money. He let several Of them have money |
on Elstner account and charged the amounts
to Elstner.
RX.sHERIPF swIFTs TESTIMONY.
Ex-Sherif Swift was put en- the stand in
OF blr. Hill He said that
somewhere in December, 1873 he was in the
Magnolia saloon and overheard Hill and
Elstner in conversation. Hill offered him
the place at $l5O,,a month, to which Elstner
replied that it was all right and that he was
unable TO express his gratitude for the favor.
CROSS EXAMINED.
On cross examination he testified tina. he
vas impressed with the conversation because
1e was somewhat astonished that Hill should
,ppoint Elstner, and furthermore because he
thought the sum offered was exceedingly
LIBERAL The court then adjourned until 10
o'clock this msrning.

ten best children in the newspapers as worthy
of mention the fact that child was among
the few deserving of the distinction would be
something to its credit. By adopting this plan

= FL G. Haley.

A"tVy
The Montgomery Standard, speak
ing of f. G. Haley, says:
''E. G. Haley Of Audrain, is a
farmer, a granger, and a candidate
for congress. The latter clause was
well put in as no one would ever &C
cuse K. G.. of being a candidate for
anything, after having e him. He
came forward with his old wool hat
in his hand, and startled the audience
with the following unique bit of rhet-
oric: Ladies' and gentlemen and fel-
low-citizens: l amt going to make a
speech, but thought | would come
down here and show you what kind
of an dnimH | am-' After this burst
of eloquence, the gentleman pitched
into Judge Buckner, because he had
declined wasting his time in joint
discussion with HIM, and then went
SO far as to charge Judge B. with
completely in the salary grab steal.
The charge is untrue, unjust and IN
generous, and Haley knows it, if he
knows anything at all, as the Judge
was not a member of congress when
the steal was Consummated. Mr.. H,
may be 4 good man, and We presume
he is, but he is ar awful poor sample
of congressional timber. Even his
party friends are ashamed of him.
We heard one leading greenbacker
say that he wished Haley would stay
at home, as he was making votes for
Buckner.'
