CULpEpER posroFT1cE ROBBERY

Close OF the Testimony Before Commits

Held 10 Await the Action OF the Grand
Jury.
The trial of Ellis and O'Neill for robbing
the Culpeper postofiice was continued before
Commissioners Mills yesterday, n large num-
Der of spectators being present George s.
Grouse, postmaster at Culpepcr, was recalled,
and repeated his testimony as TO the condi-
tion of the Office after the robbery in order
to bring the testimony in the O'Neill case up
to that in the Ellis case. When this witness
had finished the cases wero consolidated. The
witness identified the bit brace, and other
tools found in the Office, and they were put in
evidence. In addition to other testimony the
witness said that Mr.. Smith, blacksmith, of
Culpeper, identified the tools as his own.
Mr.. Thomas Smith, the blacksmith and
wheelwright of Culpeper, testified that the
tools were taken out of his shop the night
that the postoiice was robbed. He found
that the window had been broken open and
the tools gone; went TO the postoflice and
found the tools there. The witness thon
| identified the tools rs his own.
Mr.. Stahl, the clerk of the Bankers and
Merchants Telegraph produced the tele-
gram which Ellis sent to O'Neill, and swore it
was the same.
DCICCllNe Euelln UeSUllleu UnHb no nau n
conversation with Ellis on Sunday at the
Jail in regard to the dispatch sent by the
prisoner. Ellis stated to witness
the wording of the dispatch. Witness
said he was sent there by Maj. Dye and Mr..
Shallcross to see about the dispatch. He read
the dispatch to Ellis. This closed the case
for the prosecution, and Mr.. Norris claimed
that no evidence had been produced connect
ing Ellis with the crime. That he had beeu
seen in Culpeper was no proof that he had
committed the crime. Mr.. Norris said that
the fact that some one looking like Ellis had
taken breakfast in Culpepor and had been
seen there was no proof that it was Ellis, as
mistakes are frequently made in resemblance
of one person to another. He cited many in
stances in support of his argument
Mr.. Campbell Darlington appeared for
O'Neill, and claimed that the only evidence
connecting his client with the case was that
he had been seen in Culpepor, which he
thought was insufficient to hold him.
Mr.. Frank Irvine reviewed the case, bring
ing out all Of the strong points upon which
the government based the case, and when he
had finished the case was submitted.
Judge Mills summed up the case, and finally
said that he would hold both men for the
grand jury in $1,000 bonds each. The men
were taken back to jail

redolent of sweet perfume. When the con-
gratulations were over, the whole party sat
down to an exquisitely appointed table
groaning under all the delcacies of the sea-
son. To this ample justice was done by all
present. The wedding presents were many,
costly, and useful. At 1:30 o'clock p. m. Mr.
