M. waite's Condition

vETY CRITICAL IMPOSSIBLE TO thy HIM
DR.. Geo 4. Gale went up to Fayette-
vile Wednesday, under the direction Of
Col. Haskins, u. s. District attorney,
with Instructions to make thorough
go ng investigation, and find whether
the man is sick or not or unable to be
tried. Ile makes affidavit that Waite
Is suffering from severe bronchitis,
that there is II collection of pus in the
left pleural cavity which has liberated
Its way through 10 the bronchial tubes.
This pus now has to be raised in Spula
or spit, his cough is very severe, he is
unable to speak aloud, and this condi
ton causes nm almost total loss of APP
petite. and inability to digest substantial
food. Waite is unable to sit up many
hours at time, can walk hut little, and
II he wants to live must stop talking so
much with visitors, which always COM
pletey exhausts him. The doctor con-
siders his case vely critical one and
that removal from his present arters
would be attended VITA great hazard to
his life. This precludes tho possibility
of his being taken to Rutland for trial
next week. and probably he can't be
tried this winter.

Nj. Perry, in explaining the causes of

made any money since they started in

when they ,ught the business, taking
the stock mt their predecps .ors' valuation,
paying~a oonus of Sli00 besides
That they had suffered severely by depre-
citation in prices during the hare times,
and by tie over'crowded competition in ;
Braltlt borO. that their account books
showed over $4,000 of bad bills, and that
thew had lost $1,000 Specializing in
Wall street. The claim of the the New

an obligation of the firm. Mr.. Perry
said 1t was to protect their other credi,- !
ors from this bogus claim that they had :,
filed their petition in voluntary bank +
ruptcy. The Boston Journal also re-
ports Mr.. Perrj as saying hat neither of
the firm knew anything about The bu,i.
ness. that they had never kept cash
book or ledger. ald never knew that they
we're running ashore till they took an
