Confirmation of the Strong VIII Case.
The first witness in the Strong will case,
which was resumed in the Circuit Court
yesterday morning before Judge Cox, was
General j. Hale Syphcr, who was recalled
10 the stand by General Butler and con-
tinuod his testimony of the day before.
He told of the testator's enfeebled condi-
tion of body and mind, that increased
from day to day until he died in the s0th
year of his age.
Mr.. Davis crosse Examined the witness
who told of his business relations with
Strong beginning in 1851 or 'S5, when he
gave him power Of attorney to compro-
mise, il possible, General Buffers claim
against the deceased. The witness told of
his other business transactions with Strong
in the suits that the latter brought against
the Board of Public Works, on one of
which Strong was awarded $4,000, but
the court set the judgment aside in this
case.
Witness had no connection with Cen
eral Butler, Colonel Crook and others as
counsel for Strong in the case of Butler
against Strong. Witness then stated
minutely his many efforts to conoiliate
matters between Butler and Strong, but
without success, and finally Strong was
sent to jail on charges of forgery and
perjury. Robert Strong, a brother of the
dead man, testified as to his brothers
