nesses for the Defense.

LONDON, May 15.-The trial of Cunning
ham ana Barton was resumed this morning.
Drs. Ford and Dupre, Government chemists,
we've examined in regard to the explosive
subtances, and the case for the crown was
closed. The case for the defense was then
opened. Mary o. BTien, newspaper venier,
was called to the witness stand, aud swore
that Cunningham was in Miss Cann0n's
lodging house. where he had room, at the
time OF the explosion en- the Metropolitan
Railway. between Cover street and Kings
Cross. She said she sold Cunn1n gh 2D q
newspaper at the lodging house on the night
the explosion occurred. and that shs saw
him there from 80 to 10 O'Clock. Tas ex.
plcson occurred at 8 O'Clock. On being
cross-examinsd, the witness said she ID not
communicated with Mr. Q1illian, the pris.
oner's counsel. Mr. Quillian came t. ner at
the end OF March, and then she remembered
forthwith all the circumstances which shs
had related.
Catherine White, who lives at Miss Can
mons house. confirmed The testimony given
by Mary O'Brien, bat admitted that she had
not recollected the circumstances of Gun
ninghsm's being at home the night OF the
explosion until Mr.. Quillian came and 10
formed her of it. She was examined st the
Treasury early in February, but did not
then me- ntion the circumstances, She denied
that she had received money to testify for
the defense. Counsel for Burton then sub
mitttd that no evidences had been sdduced
showing the evidence OF conspiracy, but
the Judge declared that that question must
be decided by the jury.
Catherine Whites testimony constituted
| the evidence for the defense. Burton asked
| permission to make statement. The
| judges consented, and Barton made an oral
statement, which was not put in evidence

CAUGHT ATTHEIR OWN TRICKS.
Three Men Demand Money of a State
Treasurer-FOiled While Attempt-
ing TO Escape With Their
Treasures,

LINCOLN, Neb.. Feb 2S.
About p. NJ, three men walked into the
State Treasurer's office, drew revolvers and
said 10 Deputy Treasurer Bartlett, who stood
behind the railing. ''hold up your hands," n
pistol almost touching his head through the
railing. Bartlett answered, "what does this
mean men, is it fooling or business?" But
his hands went up all the same. No talk, re-
torted the man who acted as the leader, Just
hand out the money and be quick about it,
Bartlett passed out through the railing the
amount of $500, saving in loud voice, 'here
it is, help yourselves
Two of the men then turned to the door,
the third backing and covering the retreat
with a cooked revolver in each hand drawn
on Bartlett.
The loud tone employed by Bartlett was a
signal TO Detectives Pinard and Davis, who
were concealed IN an adjoining hall just as
two of the robbers passed out of the treasur-
er's public door, the detectives shouted,
"halt." but no attention was paid by the flee
ing men, who afterwards proved to be jim
Griffin and AL Mcclure Griffin, the former
being a one legged man, was behind.
A moment later, the report of shot gun
was heard. Griffin fell on the porch steps,
with ten buck shot in the back and right
shoulder. McGuire was captured before he
could mount horse, which was tied to post
about 40 feet from the door.
The moment the gun was fired in the hall.
the third man, who is unknown unless by the
detectives, stopped, closed the door instead
of passing through, went through the door
behind the railing, ran across the room,
jumped out of an open window and made his
escape.
The money was recovered by Pinard, who
returned it to the treasurer.
1t appears that Pinsrd and Davis knew that
an attempt was to be made, and understand
ingly with Bartlett that he should talk to the
robbers loud enough to be heard in their place
of concealment. Their appearance has been
looked for any day. The robbers had visited
the office several times, but some hitch in
their arrangements deferred them from max
ing an attempt at the robbery until today.

Mr.. Warner said that notwithstanding the
care with which Cleveland's letter had been
prepared, notwithstanding the candor with
which the views of the President-elect had
been formulated in this particular, he was
mistaken. The condition of things which
was predicted in the public press as about to
take place, was an impossbility. 1t was i'm
possible that this currency should go below

said, of selecting successor to Mr. Man

A DEFICIENCY
Discovered in the Accounts of the Ma.

Buffers Term of Office.
BosToN. March |.

BosTON, March |.
Washington special to the Sunday paper
stated that the House military committee
had discovered an apparent deficiency of over
s.. 900 in the accounts of the National Sol
diers's Home during the time that Gen. But
Ter was president and treasurer, and that Gen.
Rosecrsns, chairman of the committee, had
notified him of the fact, asking for an expla-
nation In reply, Gen. Butler criticises the
action of the committee in ''allowing to be
photographed as special matter to jour
nal, which | have had occasion TO sue
for libel and in whose hands it would seem
to the public that the committee were playing
the records of the committee before they are
complete" Since this matter has gone from
your committee room" he says. Il have no
interest whether this matter goes into your
committees report or not and should take no
further steps if time permitted me to do so,
which | told you it did not;
To vindicate myself or my associates on the
board of managers, because, if, as you claim
these errors are apparent upon the face OF
the reports, it was as gross negligence for
the auditing committee to permit such errors
70 exist as for me to make them" He adds
that these matters can be fully ventilated in
the courts without newspaper interference

A GANG OF SwINDLERs.
Three of Them Already Capured-ys.
rious Methods Employed by Then
in Cheating Honest Far-
mers Throughout the
Country.
BosroN, March /.

BosroN, March /.
The Herald, tomorrow, will devote coasid-
cradle space to the expense of the methoes
practised by gang OF swindlers who have
been fleecing the farmers of Vermont, New
York, Illinois and Ohio, under a pretence of
conducting bona tde produce commission
business.
Three of these men are now awaiting trial
for conspiracy, but the fourth, who is we'll
known to the police, has not thus far com-
mifted hinself 40 as to be amenable to Law.
The practice of the gang WAS to adopt
firm name differing only by siugle letter,
from that of some house doing legitimate
business; then to have printed a lot of letter
heads, which were circulated among the far
mers, together with 4 circular, Offering prices
for produce in excess of the current market
quotations.
If the farmer was curious as TO the firms
standing, a glance at the commercial agency
reports, would apparently satisfy him. as in
his hurry slight difference ia the firm name
would escape his notice. and he would find
the rating of the legitimate firm TO be first
class.
In additon'to the different bogus firms that
has been started by the swindlers. they are
also engaged in banking business, under the
name of the National Loan and Trust Com
pany, in this ctv. This was run as an aux
Hilary to the produce swindls, they assuring
their victims that they banked with that COM
pany, and drafts on that company would be
duly honored.
In many eases, the unsuspecting farmers
drew on the company, only to have their draft
returned dishouored.
Among the names under which these men
have operated, are the following j, w Ran
dali 4 Co , NJ. A. Burbank 4 Co, Russell 4
Co., W. +. Barnard & Co, and Morse ( Co.
Under the title Of the American Co-opera-
tive Dairy Company, they secured many
victims.
The gang has also operated in similar tran
sactions in Chicago and Louisville, and so
extensive as has been their dealings, that il is
confidently asserted. that the loss to con-
signees throughout the country will aggre-
gate $1,000, 900
Their operations in this vicinity cover
period of about years.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.
The London Standard, commenting on the
small majority of IA, by which the government
escaped censure last night, says that the cab
met is bankrupt in influence and that Glad

The London News saws it is possible that

as possible by passing the redistribution of
seats and the registration bills. and to appear
before the new constituencies in November
The cabinet held council today to consider
what course to pursue.
The Cabinet Council was in session until

at was to the effect, that no ministerial resig-
nation should be rendered, until Parliament
had disposed of the governments leasure of
the redistribution Of seats.
