TRE PROSECUTION RESTS,

And the Defense Calls Some of Their
Witnesses.
Colonel Arnett-If the committee please,
we have no other testimony to offer. We
rest here.
Mr.. Observation-Disclosures of the commit.
tee, would like to ask the gentlemen on the
other side il they consider that they have
proved any ofthe charges, and ifso, which
ones.
Col, Arnett-It you please, if we are to
answer that at this time, would ssy that
the question is very remarkable one.
think we have submitted evidence which is
entitled to credit. That It may be coutro.
yerted OF denied is, of course. possible.
But, as il stands, answer that Irthink oil
our charges are entitled to be considered
proven. / viii 90 here that we have Ia
bored under consi dersble disadvantage in
this investigation, We have been compell-
ed to take our witnesses as we
could get them, and therefore the
testimony has been somewhat dis
jointed and fragmentary. We have had
no opportunity to map out q course and
bring witnesses in any sort of order with
reference to that plan. Being deprived Of
this benefit. we have been compelled to of.
fer our testimony bit BY Bit
Mr.. Hubbsrd-I recognize that the
prosecution has lsbored under q consider.
able disadvantage. Whether it is entirely
ofthe nature alluded to is q question. My
enquiry Of counsel on the other side was
made in good faith. 1t seems to me, in
all candor and justice, that the other side
has failed to substsntiate certain charges
and | made the remark for the purpose of
saving the time Of this committee, which
has been very generously donated.
Col. Arpett-If We take the charges in
the broad way in winch they are construed
BY Mr.. Hubbard, probably they have not
been proven; but, on the other hand. If we
look at them in the way the Chief of Police
has, then, We claim. they certainly are sub
stantiated. If cur eighth charge is con.
strued to mean that the Mayor went int
the private room for an immoral purpose,
then it is probably not proven; but If We
take the visit in the sense the prosecution
used II, and as he related and described il
to the party who drew up the charges, we
clein it is proven. Nov, as to the charge
Of having caressed the woman IN q Issciyi-
ous manner. Taken In its broad sense. il
is probably not proven. but in the sense
used By the prosecution, the evidence is en-
titled to credit IF the charges are taken

THE ROAD RACE

From Washington to Uniontown-Why
Our Boys Did Not Participate.
Yesterday was the day set for the Royal
Rollicking Road Race to Uniontown to
come of. 1t came of in way, but it was
not very royal or rollicking and the Wheel
ing boys had no part in it. They are
mighty glad they did not now, as the
weather was so deucedly bad. The race,
according to the circulars issued and the
original intention, was TO have started
from Wheeling, and the boys were making
big preparations, but at q rather late day
the announcement was made that WASH
ington, Pa, was to be point of starting
This settled the matter as far ss our boys
were concerned and they refused to have
anything to do with the race whatever.
However, the race started from Wash
iDgton at IL o'clock yesterday morning
with ten men, notwithstanding the rain and
mud. Among the clubs represented were
the Greensburg and Uniontown and the
Keystone clubs, of the East End, Pittsburg.
They expected to make the thirty-six miles
in about four hours, but the unfavorable
weather no doubt made this time longer.
