of integrity in the community against the
miserable evidence of falsifying his account: I:
Seven hundred dollars is the only sum which
the bank dares ask for from the estate of Mr..
Barron Do you believe he committed sui
eide for seven hu4dred dollars. Was he
bankrupt in resources. Did not citizens of
well-known integrity testify that he could
borrow almost any sum he wanted in Dexter:
Did not Mr.. Barron's estate net $40 6,0o0:
Yet YOU say that Mr.. Barron committed sui
eide for S700 which he could have had at any
moment.
Mr.. Baker ridiculed the physical possibili-
ty that Barron killed himself in the way he
did. He denied that any screw driver or
lamp was in the vault when Barron was
found, and he called especial atten-
ton to the loose coil of rope discovered on
Mr.. Barron's chest and beard which it was
physically impossible for the cashier 10 place
there. The wounds found on Mr.. Barron
were such as were made by slung shot, not
by the safe door; and the theory that mar
cotics were used was preposterous.
At 1915 Mr.. Baker closed his argument
on the suicide branch of the case and passed
to that portion of the declaration that Mr..
Barron was murdered. He outlined the
manner in which the robbors struck Barron

placed him in the vault fleeing under the
protection of the night after rifiing the mon
ey drawer. Stains record, the secret places
in his house, and CromselI's criminal career
were examined and the existence of the
Stain gang and the connection of Harvey
and Bell with it were demonstrated. This
cracking of the Dexter bank, he said.
was right in the line of the gangs busi-
ness. The trips of Stain and his men to
Dexter in the summer and fall of 1871, were
the next subject of comment, the identifica-
ton by W Parlin, of North Anson, and Mr..
Bowman of the Farmers hotel, of Augusta,
being given special prominence.
Here Mr.. Baker again called the attention
of the jury 10 the b. c. Sanborn receipt, as
serting that it was signed by David l.. Stain
when he received the team of the steamer
Star of the East on the 23d of November,
1878. He charged that the counsel for the
defense when they discovered this, raised
cry of forgery. II was argued from the way
bill of the Star of the East that the b. e
Sanborn vehicle was double seated beach
wagon. Calling attention to the receipt
again, he declared it genuine because it bore
the signature of Mr.. Reed who was the ship
ping clerk of the boat in 1877, and who died
five years ago. This receipt in the hand
writing of Stain, as he claimed, was sufficient
to convict the prisoner. The record book of
the Medfeld Engine Company was produced
and the signature of David l.. Stain in it,
was compared with fhe p. c. Sanborn sigma
ture and the counsel called the jury's atten-
ton to the similarity between the two. The
identifcations at Carney's and by Mr.. Bean
of Parlin Pond were given due consideration.
At o'clock the court adjourned until af-
ternoon.

during the progress of the negotiations at
Washington for the fisheries treaty. In Il
communication to Salisbury dated Feb. l6,

Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-04
THE RAILROADS.
The Wolfskill Depot Nearly
Completed.
THE EUREKA CLAIMS SETTLED.
Departure of the Conductors Ex
cursiOn-Wreck in the
s. P. Yards.

With view to ascertaining how work
was progressing on the Wolfskill depot a
HERALD reporter dropped over there yes
terday afternoon. Rapid strides have
been made during the past few weeks
and the structure is now very near COM
pletion. The entire framework is up
and most of it painted, and large force
of men is engaged in putting in the thou
sands Of panes of glass that will en-
tighten and ornament the building. The
tracks in the interior and the one on the
exterior to the east have been laid and
workmen are now busy fixing the exits
and approaches. The ticket offices
and waiting rooms will be finish
ed in few days and then
with the exception of putting down the
platforms and adding the finishing
touches, the building will be completed.
1t is very imposing structure, and looks
very handsome as approached from Fifth
street. As an architectural piece of work
the new depot will vie with any in the
country, and will also be one of the finest
pieces Of workmanship in the city. An
idea of its vast dimensions can scarcely
be obtained until one walks along its en-
tire length and looks closely at the mas
sive arches and girders that support the
roof. 1t will be a great boon to the pub
lie when it is thrown open for use, and
Judging by the indications, it will be
ready for occupation in about month.

EUREKA CLAIMS.
About 100000 Paid out fn ThKs
CITY.

About 100000 Paid out i'm This
city.
It will be remembered that on the oath
of May last the steamship Eureka, char
tered by the Southern Pacific Company,
went down in the Atlantic with valua-
BILE cargo OF merchandise. Altogether
she had about $500 900 worth OF goods on
board, and of this about $10O, 900 worth
was destined for this city. The Southern
Pacific at once announced itself as ready
to settle for all losses incurred, and from
that time on the agents in this city have
been kept busy examining and disposing
of the claims. One merchant had bill
for sc, 5000, another, one for So, 900, and SO
on, and each was taken up and promptly
and satisfactorily settled. All of the
claims here have been adjusted
with the exception Of one or two
which are detained by shipping errors in
New York. Railroad men regard this
as one of the most satisfactory and
quickest pieces of work done, as some of
the compensating claims were paid with
in ten days after the loss of the ship was
announced. The Southern Pacific carries
its own insurance, and is therefore a
loser to the entire amount, $500, 900.
