No Occasion for Thanks,

One occasion when Tom Ochiltree
returned home from congress there
was very little travel upon the rail

naturally enough he thought it had
assembled TO welcome him. So he
stepped out on the platform and be-

NAGLk'S DEFENSE.
Fallon's Testimony Tends to Exonerate
His

Tallon's Testimony Tends to Exonerate
His Partner.
Before opening the defense yesterday in
the case of Maggie, charged with wile-tap-
ping, Carroll Cook nterposed demurrer 10
the indictment on the ground that prepara-
tons to tap wires do not constitute an at
tempt, also on the further ground that there
is no sense in the language of the statute
which makes it an Otfense 10 tap wire
while a message is being sent" Judge
Murphy promptly overruled the demurrer.
John McRub!e, Assistant Superintendent
OF the Western Union, testified that he saw
Fallon at tie wires, and a1terward saw Maggie
and Fallun together.
In tile afternoon William Fallon was put
on the st md by the defense. The bulk of
his testimony tended TO exOnerate Nagle
from any participation in the work of cut
ting the wires. An endeayor was made Oh
cIoSS-eXamlnatiOn t. show that FallOn and
Maggie had been making arrangements on an
extensive scale to engage in the same bust
ness in Chicago, Denver, Kansas City, Los
Angeles and elsewhere, but the time was SO
indefinite that the Judge ruled out the queS-
ton.
The correspondence between Fallou and
Maggie on the same subject was also ruled
OUT, although the Judge expressed the be-
lief that such testimony would be competent
if the time ana place We're definitely fixed
and the connection with the act on trial
made clear
