Silas Higgs, a store keeper and station
agent of the Ohio River Railroad at
Franklin, Marshall county, said he had
seen the prisoner Kelly in his store.
Kelly came there and bought ticket
for Bellaire. While he was there they
saw light up the river. Kelly said he
might have known better that TO go off
and leave the stove red hot and that he
wished he would attend TO that boat
himself, as it was dead stock TO him.
The witness could not tell the color Of
the boat, but he produced q small piece
aboard charred on one side, and painted
with a thin coat Of light blue on the
other, the effect Of the wood showing
through being to make it lead colored.
This Mr.. Higgs said Mr.. Richardson, 4
neighbor Of bis, had sent up by his boy
yesterday, and said it was 4 piece oil
that boat. Il was not used as evidence.
THE STATE RESTS.
On cross-examination Mr.. Higgs said
he could not tell how long the boat was
near his house, and repeated questions
as to his ability to fix the time approx

CHRISTIE ON THE STAND.
He Narates his Travels in the
Month Of January
AND DENIES HE IS GUILTY
or ANY Part in the Glenn Homicide.
He Never Made the Statements
Quoted = Another COrrobor-
ates hIm-After Reward.

| When the doors OF the chamber o.
Part l Of the Circuit Court were opened
a little before 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, the large crowd gathered in the
corridor made rush for the inside
which filed the room to overfowing in
about a minute. The attendance and
interest yesterday was much increased,
the aisles as well as the seats being
quickly iammed with men, who strug-
gled for good positions till the court
opened.
The session yesterday was very fruit
full. The prosecution finished its pre-
sentation of the case Just before the
noon recess, and the prosecution was
given till the afternoon to prepare its
witnesses.
Owing to misunderstanding, the H.
rELLIdEXcER in its report ofthe evidence
OF the Sutton brothers, OF Benwood,
printed yesterday, quoted them as say
ing that both Kelly and Christie were
aboard the boat at Benwood. This was
not correct. Kelly was there, according
to the evidence, but Christie was not
seen on the boat.
The first witness yesterday was Oliver
Hunter, OF Mt. Vernon, o., who came
here in custody of an officer, being
prisoner in the Knox county Jail. He
said he was in Jail under indictment for
cutting with intent to kill, and had
come here voluntarily without any hope
of affecting his own case favorably, or
securing any reward OF any sort.
He saw Kelly and Christie in the Jail
at Mt. Vernon. Kelly told him that he
did not care for the charge against him
there, but it was something hereafter at
Wheeling. He asked him why he did
not get away at Newark, and Kelly said
he would have done go, but he would
have had to shoot too many.
The defense objected to this and it
was stricken out by the court.
Kelly said they were fools to stay in
this neighborhood.
Upon his cross examination by Mr..
Sommerville he said he had the first con-
versation about week after Kelly and
Christie came to the Mt. Vernon Jail.
He heard of the shooting through Mr..
Fowler, the deputy sheriff's wife, WHO
was talking through the telephone to
some one; read an account OF the shoot
ing OF Glenn in paper before Kelly and
Christie were brought to Mt. Vernon
heard Mrs. Fowler talking through an
iron door and was standing about four
feet from this door. Kelly told him he
did not care damn about the Mt Ver-
non charge, but it was the Wheeling
trouble. Was in Jail on acharge of cut
ting with inteut to kill. First told Prose-
cutting Attorney Gottschall OF his knowl-
edge OF the matter, and came down for
the sole purpose of promoting justice.
Would not tell any one else because they
did not know what justice meant. Would
not tell the deputy sheriff because he
was trying to pump him.
To Captain Dovener-Iwas offered no
inducement to come down, by the prose
cution.

THE CHRISTIE LETTER.

Officer John Shorts was next called,
and the prosecution endeavored by his
evidence to prepare the way for the in
PRODUCTION OF Glenn's dying statement,
but it was not admitted. Shorts said
he was on duty on the night of the
shooting, and went over TO the scene Of
the shooting about half.past one o'clock.
He found the door OF Hoffman's stable
open; found a bullet hole in the corner
OF the fence and one in the stable spout; /;
saw foot prints in the manure; found
one OF the chisels; fitted it in the i'm
preston on the door; found Glenn's re-
volver pouch. Had talk with Glenn,
who said he thought he would get well,
but was hurt very badly. Glenn bade
him good bye on the night he died.
J. F. Meredith-I am a policeman at
Newark; saw letter from Christie TO
Robert Williams, at Fostoria, Ohio /;
wrote to the postmaster at that place and
could rot find out any such person as
Robert Williams.
To Sommerville-Wrote to the Mar
shal OF Fostoria, also. letter offered in
evidence, but excluded temporarily
A discussion ensued between counsel
as to the admission OF the letter from
Christie to Robert Williams, which was
handed by Mcfarland to his wife. The
court declared it admissible, but said il
the defense had any authorities to cite
that would show that he was in error he
would correct it.
This letter, which has figured so prom
inently in the case, IL as follows, Mar.

Lima has dropped Rheims, and Quit
zaw and O'Rourke were released Mon
day.
Harry Wright, manager of the Phila-
dclphias, having secured Delahanty, now
wants Capt. 0'Neill and Dwyer, OF the
Kalamazoos. He is after young blood,
looking to next season, when it will be
in great demand.
The injury pitcher Neal, of the Colum-
bus team, sustained Sunday at Columbus
in the game with Canton, is much worse
than at first supposed. His foot caught
in one OF the bases and was so badly
sprained that he is likely to be off for a
month.
Delahanty played his first game with
the Philadelphias at Chicago Tuesday, at
second, and is credited with tour put
outs, five assists, a double play to first
and two errors. While he failed to make
a bit or run, his work is favorably COM
mented on. President Seeley since his
return from Kalamazoo confirms the
statement published in this paper that
81, 800 was the price received for Della
hanty.
Paddy" welch, Columbus's second
baseman, has been fined 500 and sus-
pended indefinitely. Manager Curry is
playing in his place. Welch asked for
his release, saying he wanted to go back
to Zanesyille and engage in business.
It was refused, and he then refused to
90 to Toledo with the club. The State
Journal seems to think WEIGH was offer
ed more money by the Wheeling man
agement and is working for a release so
as to sign here.
A new deal has been made in relation
to the management OF the Sandusky
club. W. NJ. Ruetter, who umpired the
memorable game in which Wheeling
was robbed, has been made manager.
Chrisman was fined and suspended.
Heiner was changed from short stop to
second, where Chrisman has been play
ing and doing miserable work. George
Westlake was moved from third to short
and Strothers, who was indefinitely
'laid of" few days ago for drunken
ness and insubordination, was put on
third.

Chairman Kisner, of the State Com

There was every indication at the open

with recent meetings OF the State Dem

Upon taking the chair Mr.. Hensel spoke
briefly OF the prospects OF the Democratic
party, after which the secretaries and
other subordinate officers OF the tenn

On motion OF Mr.. Patterson, OF Phila-

the usual manner to select committees
on contested seats, on resolutions and
on permanent organization. The con-
