About Apprenticeship.
 Tal

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: Dear sir-In reading your paper this morn ing was surprised at MT. Dutton's remarks upon apprenticeship, coming as they do from so learned a man. He cannot know any, thing about the subject, as appears by his statements. Why, sir, one of the finest things in the world is the apprentice sys- tenn Where did all of our fine mechanics come froms It has been long time since an apprentice WAS mere beast of burden. I was an apprentice 40 years ago and do not think any boy had better time than I did. If MT. Dutton has any prejudice against the lot of the apprentice let him go down to Sar- gents and he will see that they are as we'll off as the other boys.
 Hoping am not taking too much space in your valuable paper, I am, yours respect- fully, G. PAGE.
 rNE COURT RRCORp.
 Shipman.
 The case of the United States against An tonic Pssquarello was not finished yesterday. The afternoon of yesterday was devoted to rebuttal testimony by the government to show that the prosecution was no conspiracy on the part of Janine and CaporalI.
 Attorney Goodhart was engaged by Janine and Caporeli to assist the prosecution yes- terday Two Italians testified that they saw CaporslH going toward Pasquarello's store early on the morning in question, at which time the defense is desirous of proving that Pasquarello was given . counterfeit dollar by nat fhra fou # them combined to make Pasquarello pass it to them, when they went to the police office and had Pasquarello arrested.
 Pasquarello testified that he had trouble with Janine in this country and in Italy. His father had been instrumental in putting Ja- nine in prison. Before he was arrested Janine came into his store and bought some cigars Pasquarello declined to take 8 quarter ten- dered in payment thinking it bad, finally taking dollar. Hennie Judice bought some- thing at the same time and gave him silver dollar. Then later someone came into the store and wanted to get silver dollar in ex- change for other money. He said he knew nothing about the spurious coin found in his bed.
 In the afternoon Pasquarello was cross- examined. It was shown by the prosecution that he has wife in Italy and in this country. Upon this examination the witness became confused. A paper was introduced which purported to be an agreement signed by Pasquarello that for $185 which he bor- rowed he would give up his store by Febru ary 15. This paper, the defense claimed,
 was forgery and was part of the scheme to | ruin him. The government attempted to 1 show that Pssquarello had hired Exposi:o, I the New York man who yesterday made l what they claim was an alleged confession. Angelic Maffei, employed at the rubber I shop, was called by the prosecution. He tes- ti6ed that he met Pasquarello two weeks be- fore the arrest and heard Dominica ask him if he wanted to make some money. This tes- timony was in rebuttal of that by the de- fense to show that it is a conspiracy. It was intended to show that Dominica gave this counterfeit coin to Pasquarello. Carnello Joauni was called and testified how the counterfeit money was passed on him by Pasquarrello, Attorney Asher gave him rigid examination. He said he had been in prison in Italy for twenty years, be- ing released six years ago. He could or would not tell what the charge against him was, only that he wanted certain man in government and he was put in prison for de- claring his rights.
 "Didn't you kill man in Italya" asked Attorney Asher.
 Here the prosecution objected, and Judge Shipman sustained the objection.
 Angelo Caparello was just called to the witness stand when court was adjourned un-
