All the Remaining Indictments Holle
Prosecuted, and Both Members Of
the Firm Free.

In the Hastings Court Yesterday morning
the crossexamInation Of Mr.. A. V. Young
in the case Of the Commonwealth against
Felix I. Moses was resumed by the counsel
for defence.
THE GIsT OF IT.
The subject matter Of the controversy be-
tween the Bowker Fertillzlng Company and
Messrs. Clemons & Moses, upon which this
controversy was based, dates back az far as
1888 under four contracts for the purchase
of guano. Under these contracts Messrs.
ClemOne 4 Moses received from the BOWER
company a large amount oi fertilizers and
sold the same to farmers throughout irginia
and Tennessee, taking from these farmers
their notes at twelve months.
COLLECTIONS.
These notes we're given the Dowker Com
p,ry. which afterwards sent them back 10
Me.,rs. ClenOns & Moses Tor collection.
These gentlemen collected a large number
and RENTED To the B0wker Company. but
the latter asserted and attempted to maintain
that the full amount OF these notes had not
been accounted for.
BREACH or CONTRACT.
The defence claimed that they were fully
prepared 10 show fragrant breach OF the
contract Of agency by the BOw6er Company
In refusing 20 return 10 them (Clemons %
Moseo more than $4,000 Of farmers notes
for collection. The counsel further insisted
that they were also fully prepared TO show that
the entire amount OF fertilizers purchased
from the Bowker Company had either been
paid or accounted for.
Mr.. Young.
In the able cross.eXamnaiion OF Mr..
Young by Mr.. Meredith Yesterday 1t was
shown that the witness Mr.. Young had
contradctcd himself no less than three times
in his oral examination and twice 10y letters
exhibited in court. II was further shown in
this examination that The BOwker Company
had euticed Msjor Clemons TO New York
and shadOwed him thither from Boston by a
private detective and upon bis arrival there
had him arrested on civil process Tor The
very debt now claimed by the company as q
basis OF a criminal liability.
THE CLIMAX.
This was all admitted by Mr. Young, and
at this point commonwealth s-Attoruey

that he could not press the case any luther

them upon the earth. "Ah, grass Will grow

bought a esusry bird and cage. In time
