have suffered during recent years, and in

now. A solid foundation has been laid on
which to develop Italian industry. The
government intends TO propose tho adop-
tion Of u differential tariff between France
and Italy. 1Cheers.

cluded a Statement the Scribe

investigate the reading of the report at the
trial of the triangle in DIR. Cronin's camp
was made and carried. The court admitted
it as to Beggs.
TESTIMONY IN REBUTTAL.
The state then proceeded with its testi-
monv in rebuttal. DIR. Patrick Curran was
James Lyman on the night that DR..
Cronin's body was lying in Battery ID
armory. This question was then asked:
DID he, In the conversation you had with
him, say that the executive body had,
ordered the death of DIR. Croniup The de-
fenss objected to this question and made
the point that the direct examination had
not laid the foundation for IL.
THAT'S LIE"

against the point raised, voice was heard
in the court room TO say, THAT is a lie."

said that it was a lie.
The Court-Who made that remarkg
The court desires to know who made that
interruption.
Mr.. Wood (of tho Daily Ne,os), rising In
his seat-f 1t please your honor, made
that remark. was speaking in an under
tone, but / suppose | spoke louder than
thought or intended to.
The Court-Well. please do not let 1t
occur again.
The court reserved its decision, pending
recess.
THE OBJECTION SUSTAINED.
On reassembling in tho afternoon, Judge
Mcconnell sustained the objection Of the
defense. The court added thct the remark
of the Daily Neps reporter at the
morning session was made in the course OF
a conversation with a fellow reporter and
had no reference to the proceedings in
court.
Two more unimportant witnesses were
called for the prosecution, when the states
attorney announced that he had no more
witnesses, and promised to conclude his
rebuttal tomorrow.

the Independent from Blackfoot, Idaho,
says: 'The main building of the Territorial
