han. The trial opened with III. z. Baird,
express messenger, who turned states
evidence ON the stand. His confession was
made with GOODNESS and ef1rontery. 1t was
as follows: "My name is Ii. z. Baird. /
live at Chattanooga. Have been employed
for the past six or seven months as express
messenger on the Alabama, Great Southern
and Northeastern roads. My duties took
me from Chattanooga to New Orleans. /

car. / have been running over the New

nolds, Murry, Tullis, and lately
/. man whom / do not know. I
have repea teddy seen Garrett open trunks.
We left New Orleans on train No. 2, the
cannon ball. / had fair lot of express.
Garrett had good run of baggage. This
side of Pearl river Garrett opened trunk,
in which we found jewellery box. Gar
rett opened the trunk; it was a LADY,
trunk, and was through baggage, trans
ferred from the Southern Pacific. On this
occasion we went through seven or eight
trunks. We took the tray out OF the lady s
trunk. Garrett and myself examined it.
jewelry case, in which were found
of4h dIo md
setting in the back, a monogram, an az ,
let sci with diamonds and a bracelet set
This occurred before we got to Ellisville,
coming to Meridian. l ran with Mr.. Gar
rett frequently. This was in May or June
of this year. 1t vas a continuous habit,
mutually understood between US. We
found out how much through stuff there
was and We examined it. If We found
anything We wanted, we took it. This was
going on during May, June and part OF
July. About that time people were going
North to summer resorts. Garrett and j
went through good many trips together
We left off going in trunks in August. We
quit because We were frightened"
On cross-ex Examination Baird said he
made his statement voluntarily. He was
arrested in New Orleans, but he did not
know by whom, The trunks robbed were
opened with button hook.
Baird said "The way we usually d.
vided was every fellow took what he got
his hands Gu" He said he made the con-
fession on account of his wife and baby,
and to get lighter sentence.
III. c. Devereaux, detective, of Matt
Pinkerton's agency, testified to the search
ing of CARROTS room In New Orleans two
months ago, and gave a list of articles
found there. Tonight the case was adj
journed oyer till tomorrow morning.

Kenneth, Mo-, Nov. l9.-JOe Gephsrt,
the man that was taken out of Jail here
Saturday morning by mob, showed up in
town yesterday. He says he was taken out,
a rope placed around his neck and told to
confess what he knew about the safe being
br ken into at Carnih two or three weeks
ago. He denied his guilt and also
any knowledge of the affair. He
says they then hanged him
up six different times, and every time
tried to exert confession from him. He
denied until the last any knowledge of the
affair. They then told him if he would
leave the country they would turn him
loose. He promised he would. but in
stesd of leaving be came to town and told
his story. He then filed a bond for his APP
pearance here next Saturday for trial. Sus.
picion now rests on some men of promi-
nence, and a frst-class sensation is expect
ed to develop on the day of trial.

years ago. He thought it was soft snap.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
A Decree of Great Interest to
Employees of Missouri and
Illinois Corporations.

st. Louis, Nov. 20.-Judge Fisher Of
the circuit court here rendered a decision
of considerable interest to the employees
of corporations doing business in Missouri
and Illinois Yesterday.
John III. Robinson and others purchased
claims against several employees of the
Wabash & Western railway and began at.
tachment suit in Illinois courts, although
the parties against whom the claims were
held resided in Missouri. The law OF
Missouri exempts a married mans wages
from execution. A judgement was OBJ
tanned against one Jack Sparrow in a
Justices court in Chicago. and Sparrow 8
wages were garnished in st. Louis. The
railway company applied for an injunc.
tion restraining the punishment and
Judge Fisher granted it.

MORMON METHODS.
Testimony Against the Utah The
Ocracy Which Will Make a
Sensation.

Salt Lake City, Utah, November 90
Mormonism is still on trial here. The
court room was packed with spectators all
day yesterday, and On the streets people
gathered in knots discussing the
situation. The concensus Cen
tile opinion is that it is the death
blow to Mormonism, and that congress
must now take cognizance of the theocracy
that has existed here for years and weed
it out. The day was devoted TO the ex-
animation of witnesses for the Mormon side
of the case. The severe cross-examination
to which they were subjected drew out an
swers which strengthened the Gentle
cause materially. Evidence was intro
duced tending to impeach the testimony OF
one OF the witnesses for the Gentiles who
had testified to a murder committed by
the Danites twenty-seveu years ago. The
burden of the testimony was that, if
such a murder was committed, the
witnesses, who were with a large
party of emigrants at the tine of the al
legged effense, knew nothing of it. Thos.
@. Weber is Superintendent of the lions
Cooperative Mercantile Institution.
He stated that he was Secretary and
Treasurer of the institution July 4, 1885,
when the United States flag was half.
masted on that and five other Mormon
public buildings in this city. He was
also member of the City Council, and
started that, although it was well known
that the City Marshal half-masted the
flag on the City Hall on the day in ques.
tion, he was never in any way publicly
reprimanded by the City Council, which
was composed entirely of Mormons.

MORMON OATHS.
The Terrible Endowment House
Causes a Mormon Leader to
Perjure Himself.

Salt Lake, Utah, November 20.-Inves
tigation as to the osths taken by the Nor.
mons in the Endowment House, and the
general tendency OF the teachings of the
church in regard to the government, was
resumed before Judge Anderson this morn.
ing.
c. w. Penrose, editor of the News, and
one of the Mormon .ieaders who yesterday
refused to answer questions as to how
many wives he had, and was given until
this morning to do so or 90 to prison, was
the first witness called. The question was
again put to him, and he fatty declined to
answer. LIE Grand Young, one of the
church attorneys, said the witness wished
to put In written statement explaining
his position. Mr.. Young called the
courts attention to the fact that President
Cleveland had granted witness amnesty.
and he therefore thought the court had no
right to compel him to answer the ques.
ton as to what the witness had done in the
past.
The question was discussed at some
length by the attorneys, but the Judge said
the witness was squarely in contempt. and
would be committed to the penitentiary
until he purged himself. 1t was further
stated that hereafter In the investigation,
that any witness who declined to answer
and had not put his declination on some
legal ground, would be compelled to an
swer. Penrose had a long consultation
with President Woodruff and George @.
Cannon. In the afternoon he was taken
to the peniteniiary. He will file state
ment with the court tomorrow morning.

PROHIBITION.
The Party i'm a Fair Way to be
Shut Out i'm Future.

Kansas City. Mo-, November 21.-The
Prohibition party in Missouri is In fair
way to get shut out If il ever presents
another ticket to the voters of the State.
1t must either prove unconstitutional the
election law passed by the Legislature
which supplements the Australian voting
system or have it amended. The
law passed by the last session OF
the Legislature provides that parties
making nominations for Offices under
the law must have polled per cent of the
total vote cast at the last general election.
The law further provides that all persons
nominated, at a convention or primary, as
prescribed by the law, shall receive GER
tifcate from the officers of the convention
or judges of the primary, which shall be
executed with the same formalities re-
quired in passing the title to real estate.
The nominations are then forwarded to
the secretary OF state, who mas the ticket
printec and sent to the county clerk. In
counties where there is no recorder of
votes, of course the secretary of state will
not recognize candidates nominated by a
party that did not poll the requisite
per cent of the votes cast at the
last general election. This efiec-
tually shuts cut the prohibition
party, as it polled last year 200 votes of
the 100000 cast. Mr.. F. NJ. Lowe, recent
candidate for governor on the prohibition
ticket, has determined TO present the issues
in the case to the people of the state. Next
week he will speak at several towns in the
interior, and in a fortnight he will talk to
the people of Kansas City. 1t is life and
death matter with the prohibitionists.
"The law is clearly unconstitutional"
said Mr.. Lowe to-day. "If it is not, tie
prohibitionists can never hope to have the
names of their candidates placed on the
only ticket which the election judges are
permitted to recognize.n

GAINESVILLE, Tex, November 21.-An
attempt was made near Marietta, /. T.
about midnight to rob the Kansas City
mail and express.
Two masked men was discovered con-
cealed in the thick brush near the Santa
Fe track about p. m, and the fact was
telegraphed to this city and
also to the conductor of the south
bound express train. Officers went
from here on a special train to where the
masked men were seen, but failed to find
them. The south bound train soon ar.
rived, with twenty armed men aboard, who
made search for the supposed robbers, but
failed to discover them.

the Kansas City train at the same point in
the last two weeks. Bunch, the notorious
train robber, is known to have been in that
vicinity and the supposed robbers are be-
lieyed to be his gang.

opium he is intoxicated with love aud
that he cannot know true domestic
happiness in It's full sense is unless he has
several wives. He is well educated and
a fine talker, but not prepossessing in ap-
pearance, while all his wives are hand

And took the prize, wot;-

Each took his half and went his way.
Oh, rich and happy boys were they.
