Bedford, they refused TO allow him TO say
anything in answer to Reerdell's charges
and had said the matter had nothing TO DE-
with the case.
The government, he said, did not want
and had not sought to be fair and Impartial
in this case. Reredell had agreed with the
government to challenge jurors in their in.

ants. Jury fixing, indeed what was that
Ker interrupted to demand reference to
that evid nee and Ingersoll turned to Rere
dell's t. tlnony and read pass
age where he said he made some such
agreement with Blackman. Ker de-
clared that Ingersoll had suppressed
an important passage, and he did not re-
gard it as fair TO thus cast structures upon
the prosecution. He read from the record
Reredel's statement that Woodward knew
nothing of the agreement with Blackman.
Wilson chen continued. He said he had
waited in vain to see Backmau called and
said il was a.scheme.unparallele in infamy,
and Reredell had tried to cry out his part
OF the agreement.
The court challenged the truth of the
Statement.
DavIdge reminded the Judge that Rere-
dell had attempted to challenge a juror,
but his right to do so had been denied by
the court because he was unsupported by
other defendants in mis- challenge.
The court remembered its mind had been
much relieved at the time to find the mat
ter had resulted in no harm to the jury.
1t was conspiracy without an overt act.
Ingersoll-"A AS wicked as it was malic-
ious."
The rt-"Though it did not result in
ANYTHING it was not very Creditable to the
defendant or Reredell."
Ingersoll-'N to the government"
The Court-"Nor to the government
agent"
fiIngersoll-"The government acts
through agents"
The COURT should certainly not pre-
sumo that any one employed by the gov
eminent should be authorized to attempt
anything of that sort. l am great deal
relieved TO know the attempt wasn't sue
cessful,"
Ker-"From your honor's knowledge OF
the gentlemen engaged in the prosecution,
believe no disclaimer is required, but |
say now that we had no knowledge OF that
conversation, good, bad or Indifferent, and
if the gentlemen persist in the statement to
the contrary, he will receive rebuke from
the government counsel who follows him
that he will not SOON forget. 1t will be I'M
merciful."
The counsel for the defense greeted this
remark with burst of laughter.
Wilson said he was about TO explain the
circumstances when interrupted.
The court said he was justified in an ex-
PLANTATION, because Wilson had declared
that government counsel had lot dis
claimed their knowledge of the matter. As
matter of fact the redirect examination
OF Reredell had proved they had no such
knowledge; that it did not extend even to
Woodward.
Wilson again resumed his argument, and
had not concluded when the court adj
iourned.

Lake Front Litigation.

CHICAGO, May 9.-In the supreme cour.
this afternoon Judge Moran granted tempo.
raryi Injunction to restrain the erectic n of a
building on the Lake front by the socialists
under license granted by the city council.
The title to Lake front property has been
in litigation for many years, being claimed
respectively by government scrip holders,
the state Of Illinois and the city of Chicago
The present suit was brought to compel the
removal of the exposition, military armories
and other bu, ldings already erected, and to
confne the Illinois Central Railroad com
pany within the limits of its original grant,
and from attempting to sieze the sub.
merged lands. The temporary injunction
only prevents the erection of any add.
tional buildings in ten years. This is stated
to be the first decision given, and it is
thought now that the title to the land
whose value runs into millions, is in fair
way of settlement.

gadec bears letter from President Grevy,
informing the king of AMMAN that Ton.
quin compels France TO establish herself
definitely there. The letter advises the
king not to resist, invites him to recognize
the protectorate of France and guarantees
the integrity of his dominion.
Conrad added that the French would col
lect taxes in AMMAN. and that state Officials
of France would occupy the delta. This,
he said, would lead to the possession oil the
whole province.
The committee then adopted the report
in favor of the credit proposed by the gov
eminent for the expedition. Reintorcements
for Tonquin include three batteries OF
mountain artillery. 1t isreported that 1000
Chinese troops have been dispatched in the
direction to Tonquin. Another French en-
