Iney D10 mol Have mcDOugall Ar.

Yesterday the case of D. A. McDougall
against the Los Angeles National Bank
occupied the attention of jury be-
fore Judge Wade. The defense had the
stand all day. The principal witnesses
were Captain Darcy, the Chief OF Police
at the time, who held McDougsll; F. G..
Howes, the cashier of the bank, and
Major &. Il. Bonebrake, the President.
The testimony of these three gentle
men was in the main the same. Not to
60 into details, the banks side of the
question as developed from the three
witnesses here named is SUBJ
stantially as follows: McDougall
had gotten $1,000 on a draft
from New York, and it turned out that
the bank making the draft had sus.
pended. 1t had been agreed that the
money should remain in the bank until
remittances came from New York, ex-
cepting 5000 which it was agreed Nc
Dougall might draw out. In violation of
this compact he drew it all out. Mr..
Howes confessed that he had been negli-
gent in signing a certified check for $500
of the money, but claimed that he had TO
do this 80 often that in this case he did
not ask his clerk who the check was for.
When 1t was discovered that the bank
at the East had gone under, an
attempt was made to get the money
back for McDougall, or to get security
from him for the indemnify of the Los
Angeles bank. McDougall refused to do
either. Darcy was then called IN, not
rs Chief of Police but as private per-
son, TO help get the money back. By
Darcy's aid Van Luven was sent to
Elsinore with McDougall, to try and get
the money, but the bank did not say or
do anything to have him appointed a
Deputy Sheriff, nor did they give him
any instructions to arrest McDougall.
He went as private agent of the bank
as tar as the bank had any knowledge of
the affair.
When he returned here and no money
was obtainable Mr.. Howes, Major Bone
brake nor any one connected with the
bank had no hand in having him ar
rested. Captain Darcy testified that he did
not arrest McDougall, and he put on
Officers Fletcher and Roberts who COR
roborated what he said in this respect.
The bank thought that there was reason
to believe that McDougall knew of the
failure of the bank in Canada before he
drew the money out of the Los Angeles
National Bank. His story that he had
not gone to the postoffice to ask for mail,
the fact that he came here and drew
all the money out the very day he put it
in the bank, after agreeing not to take
cut more than 5000, and on the day be-
fore the news came here by way of New
York in the mails, that the
Canadian bank had gone under, made a
chain of Suspicious circumstances on
which Darcy, acting as Chief of Police
and on his own motion, held McDougall
as ''suspect, thing often done. He
was not arrested by anyone; he was
merely retained as Suspect" and that
was all.
The jury has both sides of the testi-
mony before it, and yesterday Hon. S.
M. White argued the case for an hour.
The argument will be finished today, and
then the jury will take the case for de-
liberation and decision.

Brave Confederate Dead.

DfaFe confederate Dead.
The following speech was made
by J. L. Harris, a coIored Republi-
can member Of the Mississippi Leg
islature, in reply to a speech oppo-
sing the erection of monument to
the Confederate dead.
Mr.. Speaker,-I have risen here
IN my place to offer a few words on
the bill. | came from a sick bed
and was forced to struggle up lean
ing on the arm of a friend. Istand
here in considerable pain. Perhaps
it was not prudent for me to come.
But, sir, | could not rest quietly in
my room, sick though am, and al
low this discussion to pass without
contributing to it few remarks Of
my own. | was sorry to hear the
spsech of the young gentleman
from MARSHALL county. [ am sorry
that any son of a soldier should 20
on record as opposed to the erection
OF a monument in honor Of the
brave dead. And, sir, | am con-
vinced that if he had seen what I
saw at Seven Pines and the seven
days fighting around Richmond,
the battlefelds covered with the
mangled forms of those who fought
for their country and for their coun-
try's honor, he would not othaye made
the speech.
When the South was to be in
yaded, those men went forth to
fight for what they believed, and
they made no request for mon
uments tc commemorate their brave
deeds and holy sacrifices. But they
died, and their virtues should be re-
membered. Sir, | went with them.
|, too, wore the gray, the same color
that my master wore. We STAYED
four long years, and if that sad war
had gone on till now 1 would have
been there yet. | know what it all
meant, and understand the meaning
OF my words when l say that I
would have been with my country
men still had the war continued un-
tll this good day. | want to honor
those brave men who died for their
convictions. When my mother
died | was a boy. Who, sir, then
acted the part of a mother to the
orphaned slave boy but my ''old
mlssus2" Were she living now, or
could she speak to me from those
high realms where are gathered the
saintsd dead, she would tell me to
vote for this bill. And, sir, | shall
vote for it. | want it known to all
the world that my vote is given in
favor Of the bill to erect a mon
ument in honor Of the brave Con-
federate dead.
