THE CRIMINAL RECORD.


Various Witnesses Corroborate Dick Liddell
in the James Trial.
ST LOUIS, Aug. ga Post-Dispatch Gal
latin, Mo-, special says The court reas-
sembled this forenoon, and George w. Nc
Cam, farmer in Jackson county, testified
to Dick Liddell leaving a wagon at his house
sometime after the Winston affair." The
books of the Richmond express office were
put in the evidence. to show the receipt of
guns and Mrs. James's sewing machine. Miss
Emma Kindig and her mother, living four
miles from Winston, testified that Dick
Liddell and Frank James were together on
the day OF the robbery.
Mrs Frank James swore that a man who
strongly resembled the prisoner called with
three others at her house. eight miles west of
Gallatln, on Oct. 49, and ate dinner. The
description of the others tailed with
that of Jesse James, Dick Liddell and Wood
Hite.
Frank Wolfenberger, a young farmer, liv-
ing nine miles from Gallatin, was one of the
best witnesses examined. 1t was at his house
that the robbers stopped over night on their
return from the second trip, when Jesse was
taken sick. Witness accurately described
the party, designating Clarence Hite as a
"slouch." Dick Liddell he recognized as of
the party. He detailed the movements of the
party during the time they,were at his house,
repeating conversations and showing a re-
markable memory for details. The subject
of race-h horses was brought up at the supper
table, and the defendant whom witness posi-
lively identified, showed unusual familiarity
with the celebrated race-horses of the day.
Mrs. Wolfenberger corroborated her nus
band.
The Journals Gallatin special says: The
testimony of the States witnesses to-day was
intended to supply all the missing links and
complete the chain of evidence which
the State has been forging for the
past four days, and when the
State rested its case to-day little
doubt was left in the minds of those who
have heard the evidence from the beginning
of its completeness. The State has woven a
| network OF circumstances around the ac-
cused from which it will REQUIRE the most
direct and positive testimony in
| rebuttal to extricate him. But
all that can be done by able lawyers will be
done The witnesses for the defense bear
| good characters, and their testimony will be
entitled to great weight The defense
| doubtless will be conducted upon
| two theories-6rst, to show that
| James was not a participant in the
| Winston robbery, and that Liddell swore
| falsely. The other position will be that even
| if the defendent was at Winston, it has not
| been shown that he took an active part in
| the affair, or that he killed Mcmillan or
| robbed the express car. This is briefly the
| line of defense marked out James's attorneys
were in consultation all afternoon and even
ing.

Embar .assment of an Old Lafayette Whole
sale Grocery House.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LAFAYETTE Aug. 29.-The Oldest jobbing
house of groceries in the State, Adams Earl
& Co., changed hands to-day, J. F, Byers be-
coming sole owner. This, in connection
with reported losses in Chicago, gave rise to
a general rumor that Mr.. Earl had been
forced into genteel failure. So far as could
be learned the chief creditor was Mr.. Byers,
for 5000, and sundry others for $4,000.
The firm has ample assets to meet all obliga-
tons, Mr. Earl stating that he desired to
concentrate his business, and believed it was
to his own and his creditors interest for him
to curtail matters. 1t is believed that Mr..
Earl is only temporarily embarrassed.

Experience with a Cyclone.
Rochester Correspondence St. Paul Pioneer Pres

Rochester Correspondence st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Mr. Williams, who lives across the Zumbro,
on the rise beyond the Cole mill, was out
when the cyclone first reared its front in the
southwest ard saw it coming. To a little
boy who was with him, but whose name he
does not know he said: That's cyclone,
sonny. You come into this hazel brush with
me. Catch on to the roots and hang on for
dear life" He had never heard the word or
knew nothing of its purport, and instead OF
ODE wing instructions sought refuge in hen
coop near by. The man watched the three
clouds join, saw the work OF destruction
commence in the southwest, and then ran
into the hazel eopse. He found a fence be-
tween him and the storm, lay down face to
earth and with the crown of his head against
a fence post, and grasped the hazel brush
near the roots with both hands.
He kept his senses through the storm, but
with difficulty. The first gust toyed with
him as if he were whip-lash, beating him
up and down against the ground and through
the bushes-but still he chung as for his life
There was little lull and then, as he ex-
presses it, "the dern thing commenced its
monkey work in airnest" A lot of boards
from some far-off clubhouse were blown ON
top of him. Then his body was torn from
the earth and his hold broken, while he and
the boards were driven fifty yards into the
copse. A sort of shelter seems TO have beer
thus afforded, as he escaped without serious
injury though his abraded face and swollen
hands attest the truth of his story of the
struggle. When the storm had passed suffi-
GENTLY to allow of his walking, he started in
search of the boy After a long search ha
found him and his hen-coop fully 1000 feet
away, and on the other side of the interven-
ing ravine. The poor boy was demented,
and reason had not yet returned. AS to the
man who first found him, he says to all: Go
way, go way; you're sly coon."

The Scale of Wages Agreed Upon by the

The Scale of Wages Agreed Upon by the
Glass Manufacturers' Association.
CHICAGO, Aug. 29--The Western Window
glass Manufacturers Association held ses-
sion here to-day to finally determine upon
the scale of wages to be paid employees All
the leading manufactures were represented.
The committee on wages reported the follow
ing scale of wages, which is the same sub
mitted by them to the workmen at the re-
cent conference in Pittsburg: For blowing,
10 per cent. reduction on the present list for
single strength and 20 per cent. reduction on
double strength For gathering 65 per cent.
of the blowers wages for single, and 5211 to
50 per cent. for double strength By this
reduction of the schedule, according
to the manufacturers, single-strength blow
ers will make from 500 to $115 per
month and double strength $3.50 and up
ward. Single strength tending boys will
make SO per month, and double strength
$125 Flatteners OF single strength will make
800 per month, and hatteners of double
strength 1925. The manufacturers assert
that this makes the total reduction per
cent, which they claim has been offset by
changes in the tariff. This is claimed to be
the ultimatum of the manufacturers, and
that 80 per cent of all in the country have
pledged themselves uncompromisingly to
abide by il. The manufacturers all declare
that they look for long fight, but expect to
win in the end. They further assert that the
union of workers in glass is one of the
strongest in the country but has grown ar
bitrary and dictatorial to degree where
hey are compelled to make the fight Of
iensive one Nothing is known here as to
.he probable action of the workmen.
