He asked him to look at the name Of the
man described as being married and repeat
| it.
The witness read the name Nv. J. ".
Penros, spelling it out withouta final "e. !"
Mr.. Haldorn: You are reasonably ac-
quainted with the handwriting Of Judge
English?
Witness assented.
Mr.. HaldoFn: will ask you to turn to
other places in that book and take any
word ending with an .se'' and see il it is not
plainly written.
The witness did SO and said: sThe ss' ii
there in every instance see. In most OF the
cases the se' is plainly distinguisha atthe
end of any word that ends with e. 2"
Mr.. Haldorn: Is there any re" at the
endsof the name .sW. j. ". Penros'?
Witness: There is not
Mr.. Haldorn: Can you say whether that
letter in 'Penrose" is W. or an ..r''?
Witness: 1t looks more like an s.r.n
Mr.. Haldorn then moved to strike out
all OF Judge Sanders testimony. The wit
ness swears that the name in the record is
w. j. v. Penros. There is no mistake
about the absence of the s.e." The record
produced by the witness doesn't show the
same name as the defendant bears. Mr..
Haldorn held that this invalidated the en-
tire evidence
United States Attorney Smith said thet
the name in the record made no par ticular
difference; that it was only circumstance
Tho obiect IN takiag Judge Sanders tasti-
mony now was to get il on record, so as to
avoid bringing him over again. Whether
the name on the record was John Smith or
John Doe it made no difference'if the Gov
ernment can prove the identity of the de-
fendant with the man there named.
Mr.. Haldorn insisted and filed formal
objection as follows:
DEFENDANTS counsel moves to strike out
all the evidence of the witness Sanders rela-
tive to the entry OF the marriage in the
docket on the ground that the witness him
self says that the name IN said entry is
that OF Penros and the name OF the defen-
daut is Penrose, and nothing has been
shown to identify defendant as the person
whose name as given in said entry in said
docket is Penros.
Objections overruled.
Exception taken by defendant.

Nothing but the keel was visible as the
boat rushed into the whirl pool. Here it
drifted about in the eddies until it came
near the shore, when Percy swan out and
brought it to shore. Fack was still
strapped to his seat, his face purple with
ongestion, and stone dead.
A Syracuse undertaken named Mccarthy,

this morning. They were the Laughlin Iron
Co., of Leichburg. and the Findlay Iron Co.,

are employed in the machine shops and
