filed the dramatic capacity Of the
star very nicely, and gave him just
enough to do and say to make him
take. The ambitious new candidate
for theatrical fame and money vas
quite cordially received, and his en-
tertainment was praised By many. He
has a musical voice, a strikingly at
tractive appearance and a graceful
carriage. On the whole he is a clever
actor, and the sentimental, comic and
other songs he sung afforded much
pleasure. A matinee performance to
day and another appearance tonight
will close the engagement.

TO Congress as to the proper course to take
to supply stable and economical future
basis for banking. He has obtained the
views Of Comptroller Knox and OF other

may recommend long ,two.per. cent, into
which, upon terms favorable to the Gov
eminent, and Just to the holders OF the
four-per cents, the latter bonds may be con-
yer!ed. The offers which the Secretary oi

as to lead to the conclusion that long

It will be remembered that over yeai
ago three men were arrested, Albert Price,
Jacob 7. Huffman and Noah Kittle, charg-
ed with robbipg the mail in Barbour
county. Last December Albert Price was
tried in the United States Court, convicted
and sentenced to ten years imprisonment
in the penitentiary at Buffalo, New York,
where he ia now confined. At this time a
great sensation was created by the comics.
sion OF Noah Kittle, one OF the prisoners,
who detailed minutely the arrangements
for the robbery, and at the same time de-
tailed circumstantially the workings, OBJ
jects and organization Of the society which
for q long time kept up reign Of terror in
Barbour and the neighboring counties Of
this State, and which was known as stl,e
"Red Mem" "
It was principally on this testimony that
Price was convicted Klttle has never
BE-. IN sentenced, but has been kept in the
Clarksburg jail to serve as a witness In the
csse OF Huffman, the remaining one OF the
precious Trio. TA '
f,iU HUFFMAN ON TRIAL. "'''
Hufman's trial was commenced in the
U. S. District Court at Clarksburg on Tues.
day. Kittle was put on the stand, and re-
peated his confession given at Prices trial.
This confession, as made in open court last.
December, was copied from the records of
the court and certified by the clerk, Jasper
Y. Moore, .Esq. The confession appears
below in full. Kittle's evidence in the
present proceeding follows the line Of his
confession nearly verbatim with this.
Being cross examined, Kittle, seeing that
the attorney for the defense, John Basel,
ESQ.,, was disposed to corner him, sudden
ly reminded hirs that last December Mr..
Basel had called on the three prisoners at
the jail, and alter hearing the story had
said there was not o d-d bit oil show for
them. He asked Mr.. Basel il he did not
remember that the witness had tried to get
Huffman and Price to confess, but they re.
fused. After the laugh which this had
created had subsided, AIR. Basel respond
ed that he was not giving his testimony
now.
FURTHER SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS.
1t is expected that further sensational
Developments will be made by Kittle or
By other witnesses ia connection with the
case. It has already transpired that one Of
the principa! objects Of the organization, IL
not the original and main object, was to
protect "moonshiners" from molestation
by Government officials. It's head official
was one Marion Howes, an U, S. gauger,
who levied a regular tax on each illegal
still as the price Of the owners immunity
from disturbance. 1t Is alleged that the
Government has evidence to implicate
several prominent citizens not heretofore
mentioned, or suspected by the public to
be connected with the Red Men or their
crimes. The case is expected to close
about to morrow, and further develop
ments will probably trauspire today.
