The lamp lighters about the city have
singular ideas concerning the moon.
When they. consider that it ought to be
shining, they extinguish the street
lamps, no matter whether the moon
gives any light or not. Isthis according
to orders? PEDESTRIAN.

are the complaints we hear upon this
very point and wide and varied are the
experience OF RsGIsrER reporters CROP

shining, but is not. The lights should
not be extinguished when the clouds
are 30 heavy as to completely exclude
all light from the moon, though doubt.

would be to let the entire matter drop

the witness answered, positively, NO"
Mr.. Holidays testimony was very
similar TO that Of Mr.. Higgins. He was
very closely cross examined by Mr..
Good. but no material fact in addition
was developed.
Judge Geo. +. Boyd was called to the
stand and testified to the forged endorse
ment OF his name. In reply to ques-
tons touching Freese's knowledge OF his
signature, the Judge said that it was
Presses duty, as page, to hand him the
order book for his signature, but he did
not know how familiar Freese might
have become with the signature. At
Mr.. Goods request he wrote his name
as he usually signed it, which signature
was offered in evidence. Mr.. Jordan
objected and the matter was suspended,
for argument Judge Boyd said the en-
dorsement was very poor imitation OF
his signature, which statement, for some
reason or other, the defense desired to
be taken in evidence.
Sheriff Tingle testified to arrestinp
Freese and Myers in Columbus, and to
their returning without a requisition.
The only important point revealed BY

said to him that she knew nothing of
this note.
This closed the testimony for the State
and Freesc was put ON the stand to tes-
THY in his own behalf. under the late
act OF the Legislature, such testimony to
be taken by the jury at its worth. He
denied everything that might tend to
convict him. He said Mesers. Higgins
and Holiday pressed him for money
and told him note with Judge Boyds
endorsement would be good; that he
had taken them note with his mothers
signature and uLcie's (Hamilton) en-.
dorsement, which was De.
ciined. He said he had his mothers
permission TO sign checks, notes, re.
ceipts, etc, and transacted her business.
This note he drew up, at home, on the
dining room table. He bad told Jess.
