TAE LEcoNEY MURDER TRIAL.

Evidence in Rebuttal Produced by the
 State Strongly Against the Prisoner.
 CAMDEN. N. J., Feb. 25.-In the Le- eoney murder trial 1t was shown by Lampson kelton that Chalkley was disinclined, the day of the murder, to search for the murderer. The testi- mony.of the defendant that he did not see Billy Smith the next day has been contradicJed by the same wit ness.
 It was shown by Wm. Robinson, a colored man, who worked on the Bur rough farm that 1t was not Lingo who was seen in Wm. Browns wagon, but himself.
 John Atkins. another colored man, swore that he told Lingo that morning of Annals murder. Atkins is the man who found Lingo at the Starr farm and pointed him out to Mir. Burrough and Joshua Evans.
 Harry Schaefer, young man who worked at the Leconey farm the October before Richards death, testified tha Chalkley quarrelled with Anna dozen or fifteen times while the witness was | there. and swore at her. Richard Leconey brother of the mur- | dered young woman, occupied his ac- customed place alongside of the ac- | cused man. He firmly announced to l the reporters that he believed | his uncle was innocent, and that he should entertain that belief whatever the outcome of the trlal might be. He | announced that the Leconey farm would be sold, and that his sisters share in
 the farm would probably be given to
 Leconey to be used in defraying the expenses of his trial, his share in the
 property having already been ex- hausted.
 It is estimated that the trial will cost the Lecoreys S1O. .OOO. and the State all most a like sum, should the trial last as long as expected. During the morning owing to different tits between the prosecutor and the lawyer for the de-

REPUBLICAN DI.sATIsFACTIoN

REPUBLICAN DI.sATISFACTION.
 If the national election were to take place this week, number of the repub- ican states in the west and northwest would probably go democratic, says an exchange. This assertion is based on in formation ob tained from a variety of sources, one report confirming the others in remarkable manner. All of these point to the conclusion that, although there wes something of a democratic victory last November, there would be a perfect tidal wave of demo- cratic success in the west and northwest if public feeling could now find expres- sion in polls. What is the cause of this Speaker Reeds rulings? The presi- dents appointments? The Samoan treaty The high tariff notions. of the committee of ways and means ? Have these or kindred matters stirred up republican dissension among the farmers of the west? Not in the least It is probable that one and all of these matters have had but a slight effect in changing the sentiments of the republl- can voters. What has hit them, and hit them hard, is the price of corn. This is ruinously low at the present time, and the western farmers, having been falsely told in the late political campaigns that their prosperity was solely the result of national, and therefore republican, leg islation, have come to believe it, and now, finding that their prosperity is gone and that a republican administra- tion is in power, they would, if they could, turn on it as the East Indian does upon his idol when rain does not come in answer to his prayers.

 NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-There was much regret expressed in this city when it became known that the House of Representatives had voted to have the Worlds Fair located at Chicago. The result was attributed by many to political quarrels in this State and by others to the efforts of the railroads centering at Chicago to secure the fair for that place.
 MT. Thomas c. Platt was seen at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He said: 'I am very much disappointed with the vote at Washington, as 1 had hoped that New York would secure the Worlds Fair. I do not give up hope yet. as there is possibility of the Senate de- ciding to give the Fair to New York, believing as I do that the majority of that body is in favor of Now York;

was spent in Improvements. When the
Countess of ChamtOrd died in 1856, TIE heirs
of the original subscribers to this national
gift thought they had tie right to claim the
amount of their subscriptions, because the
money had another destination than that
fer which it was intended.
Some sugg eSted that the Legitimists. who
saved ChamGOrd from SPECTATORS in 1920.
ought then to save it from foreigners by buy
ing the ancient house of their kings.
Then, as n national museum, Chambord
might have had future appropriate TO its
past. Others thought that as ChamhOrd is
a little territory, little country in France,
no law would permit the inhabitants of q
French community to become foreign prop
erty.
But all litiCations were suspended and the
nephew of the Countess de Chambord has
not only taken possession Of his inheritance,
but invited party of friends to 10y the
shooting during the month of October.
The Legitimsts are 10 be pitied. for their
King did forget the original idea Of the
gift. Chambord should belong to Henry
VS. political heirs and not to his foreign
relatives. Henry had not even the excuse of
lack of property to leave his nephews, for
his private fortune was estimated at more
than S4,000,00O. The Castle of Chambord,
dwelling of the French Kings, begun by
Francis l in 1923, was without doubt offered
to the heirs Of the French throne. He GER
tainly had no right TO leave The estate to any
foreign Princess. Shortly before the birth
of Henry. Chambord was in peril, and
Napoleon to save the castle, placed it under
the rejection Of the Legion of Honor.
Afterward he gave it to the Prince OF
Wagram. with an allowance of $4,000 a
year to keep the property in order. When
the empire fell the widow of Wagram OBJ
tanned permission from Louis XVIII to sell
the castle, and the Count de Calonne thought
it very patriotic to save Chambnrd from
spectators by making a nat onal subscrp-
