NOW UNDER FIRE.

Woih X Co. Working in Conjunction
with the state Authorities to Secure
the Repeal of Hepburn's Order.
NEW YORK, May 27.LThe State of
Georgia some few years ago repudiated
$S,000,0o0 worth Of its bonds. just re-
Gently Georgia issued $S,500000 of bonds,
known as 'ncw tives." +. Wolf & Co.
wish to place the bonds in New York, but
the holders Of the repudiated bonds OBJ
iect. They think that Georgia should re-
deem the repudiaicd bonds before being
permitted to place any new bonds on the
New York market. Several years ago
Bank superintendent Hepburn issued an
order forbidding savings banks from buy
ing State or railroad bonds.
WORKING FOR REPEAL.
The officials OF Georgia, represented by
committee, are seeking to have this or
der repealed. This afternoon Deputy At
torney General William A, Post had a
meeting with some OF the holders of the
repudiated bonds and the representatives
OF the new bonds. Wolf & Co., who are
seeking to place the bonds in New York,
were also represented Henry Clews
stated that his firm had never been finan-
clal agents for the State Of Georgia in
New York. The Fourth National Bank
acted in that capacity and does at the
present time.
CLEwS co. As AGENTS.
While Gov. Bullock was in office Ciews
~ Co. acted as bankers AND brokers for
the State Of Georgia and negotiated its
bonds. Pending the sale Of the bonds the
hrm loaned large sums OF money to the
State, holding the bonds as collateral.
When the State repudiated its bonds they
were left in the lurch, with many others.
EX-GOv. Bullock corrohOrated Dir. Clews'
statement as regarded the Fourth National
Bank being the financial agent of the
State and the negOtiatOr of the repudiated
bonds of Clews & Co. On June 30 the
GeOrgians will state their side of the case.
BY procuring the repeal of Superintendent
Hepburn's order the GeOrgians expect to
be able to place their bonds with savings

had Joel's memorandum book. 1t had
several leaves torn out, but the witness
did not know who tore them.
Police Justice Richardson was again
recalled. He said that he issued the war
rant for the arrest Of the prisoner. His
attention was first called TO the finding OF
the dead body in the reservoir by publica-
tions in the papers. The witness par
ticipated in the work Of having the body
identified.
IDENTIFICATION OF THE BODY.
The body was first identified as that of
Mamie Mays aud Fannie Mays, but in
each case the witness had produced the
living subjects. IL was finally identi-
fed as that OF Fannie Lillian Madison. In
reply TO questions by the defense the wit
ness gave an account OF his movements in
discovering traces on which to base the
grounds for the arrest of suspicious par
ties and how suspicion fell upon T. j.
Cluverius. This suspicion was due to in
formation derived from w. III. Madison, an
uncle Of Lillian, fortified by the torn note
found at the American Hotel, and again
by "A conversation with the father OF the
deceased, who had been sent tor.
DIR. II. II. Harris, a Professor at Rich
mond College, testified that tho prisoner
had been at that institution two sessions,
from 1880 to 1882. His general reputation
was very good, and he had a clean record
so far as the witness knew.
ANOTHER ADMIRER.
Cary Madison, a cousin of Lillian, was
placed upon the stand, and the defense
asked him about certain letters in his pos
session which he had received from Lii
lian, and if he would produce them. The
witness refused, but when the request
was joined in by the prosecution he con-
sented to produce them tomorrow. The
defense stated that they had letters to in
troduce, found in Lillian's trunk, and
written to her bV Cary Madison, and that
they desired by the production of the
joint correspondence to show that not
withstandng the evidence OF the two
witnesses for the prosecution to the con-
trary Lillian had had other admirers.
Some discussion ensued as to the counsel
on both sides conierring TO see II some
arrangement could not be reached by
which the reading of these letters in open
court could be aYerted.
Judge Atkins stated that IL was a mat
ter for the counsel to settle among them
selves, and at once ordered an ADJOURN
ment Of the court.

Stroll at Night.
NEW YORK, May 27.-Gen. Grant only
slept three or four hours last night, but
his sleeplessness was not from fatigue or
pain, as he was very quiet and comforta-
bic, but rather from over sleeping Sunday
aud Monday nights.
After seeing Gen. Grant this afternoon
Drs. Douglas and Skrady attributed his
sleeplessness last night to the fact that
the General had applied himself longer
and more ZealOusly yesterday than usual
10 his literary work. There was, however,
no appatent evil result to-day, and the
conditions are practically the same as on
Sunday last. Both physicians unite in
saying that the General to-day was pass
ing an almost painless day.

Mrs. Fred Grant and DR.. Douglas. ABOUT

from NJ. dc Freycinei, caused considera-

this was the reason for the Issuance of the
order for the Guards % land at Alexan-
dria. Tie proposals permitted the Turk
