From relatives of the late William
| McDaniels, who was killed at Newbern

prietor to change $50, but was unable
to get the change. This was the last

remains were found lying on the track
about mile from the depot. 1t was
known that he had about 500 in his
pockets, and the next morning when

dered and robbed and his body placed
upon the track to hide the crime.

Hints for the Cook.

Always have egg sauce with salmon,
And put mint sauce your roasted lamb on f..
In dressing salad mind this law:
With two hard yolks use one that's raw.
Roast veal with rich stock gravy serve,
And picked mushrooms, too, observe.
Roast pork, sans apple sauce, past doubt,
Is Hamlet with the prince left out.
Your mutton chops with paper cover,
And make them amber brown all over
Broil lightly your beefsteak-to fry it
Argues contempt of Christian diet
To roast spring chicken is to spoil EN-
just split EN- down the back and brOil EN-.
1t gives true epicures the vapors
To see boiled mutton minus capers
Egg sauce-few make it right, alas -
Is good with buetsh or with bass.
But one might rhyme for weeks this way,
And still have lots of things to say.

FOR the smyrna Times.
The Heinold Case.
ODESSA, May 9th 1890.

ODESSA, May 9th 1890.
To THE EDITOR OF THE SMYRNA TIMES:
Dear Sir:-As to the crooked busi-
ness, injustice and robbery performed
by one Gremminger, shoemaker of
Odessa, Del, as depicted by the Editor
of the Smyrna TIMES, ] have something
to say what occurred before the
judgement note came into my hands,
/ do not know. 1t is only necessary
for me to clear myself, after l became
pOssessor by lawful assignment to me
for value paid to assignees, that the
public nay know exactly how the
case stands since became assignee of
the paper. The judgement note was
dated 1859, | purchased it about 1860.
and duly assigned before respectable
witness. Now as to why the Judge
ment note did not sooner turn up -
not until 18S8,-when the suit was
brought. l will state, that I enlisted in
1861 in Company b End Eastern shore,
Maryland Volunteers for three years.
When left home, l placed the Judge
note in an old leather book and hav.
ing been three years in the service of
the U. S. the fact of the existence for
time slipped my memory until l had
occasion to overhaul the old book, and
papers, sometime after the close of
the war and found it, some twenty
years afterwards and then concluded
from that date 1859 that it must have
been out by Limitation.
But on consulting my Attorney and
finding out that the defendent left the
state of Delaware in 1861, possibly to
avoid the late unpleasanlness did not
care to shoulder arms, and returned
long after the war was over. My At
tOrney stated that he thought the
judgement might be good, and col
lectable. But before bringing suit in
1888, l wrote to the defendant, Mr..
Heinold, and told him to come and
see me in regard to said note; gave
him 30 days or more to come forward
and to fix the mater up. He failed
to do so. l brought suit in 1885
before John Vasey, J. p. In 1885
my Attorney called for transcript O
the old docket entries, and same wa,
duly entered in the PrOthonOtary's OF
fee at Wilmington Del, against the rea
estate of the defendent. If the Smyrns
TIMES wishes to boldly accuse the Su
preme Court and counsel and myself
of being instrumental of injustice anC
Robbery, then I have nothing to say
and he must bear the responsibility o
such accusation. The mistake that Mr.
HeinOld made, was in not coming t,
see me in his trouble. Had he com,
aud seen me, no doubt the matte
could have been settled more satisfac
torily. But Mr.. HeinOld came up lik,
a man with Deputy Sheriff Hayden I,
my attorney and thew COMPROMISED
the matter by Mr.. Heinold paying tn
nice little sum of $l1643.

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT The facts, so
far as they appear at this office, in re.
gard to docket entries and executions,
in the case of Michael Gremminger,
assignee of Jacob Echenhofer and An
drew Satzenger versus George Heinold
are as follows Judgement was enter
ed by John Vasey, J. p, March 10th,
1888, upon Judgement note then pro.
duced, dated February Sth, 1859, with
interest from the latter date. Attach

proceeding, in proper shape to be en-
tered against the real estate of the
defendent. And, in order that it
should be entered against the real
estate of the defendent, it was neces-
sary for the attorney for plaintiff to
have transcript from the judgement
and execution dOokets of John Vasey,
]. P, in 1888. Such a request for
transcript was made, and the usual fee
rendered me, some time in the year
1889, after came into office in March
of that year, for the purpose of entry
on the prothonotary's docket against
the real property of the defendent, aud
the transcript furnished.
And thus it became a matter of rec
ord against defendent's real estate. And
this will account for the fact Of it be-
coming a matter of trial before the Su-
perior court several weeks since, aud
argued by the attorneys for the plain
titf aud defendent. As to an alias exc

into office, against the defendent, the
