That when the anonymous letter was
handed to him he took it to New York the
next day and deposited it with the Wilkin-
son agency He then directed the agency
to have the Clark family hunted iip in
Wilmington, to find out where and by
whom the paper on which the letter was
written was purchased, and to have the
letter photographed.

What part of the letter was that?"
THE reference to Martin kamether, who

was evidently the man alluded to, Coll-
son also mentioned in the letter, is head
bookeeper. "Charlie Carpenters som is
shipping clerk, and William Heatherton,
against whom the letter directed threat,
is head farmer
Mr., Harrington's cross-examination
brought out the fact that the letter al
though a sealed communication, had only
q one-cent stamp on it, and was not marked
"held for postage" but had been delivered
as though it had been sufficiently stamped.
Court here adjourned until 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning.
Judge Cullen was very III, on Monday,
and WAS under the care of u doctor for
several hours at the Central Hotel, but he
recovered sufficiently to attend court, on
Tuesday, although he was still suffering.
The barn burning conspiracy trial was
resumed
There was contention at the opening
about the witnesses remaining in the court
room, instead of retiring to the law
library and the grand jury room, as had
been ordered. Mr.. Biggs said the witnesses
for the defence were persisting in staying
in the court room.
The court made peremptory order for
all the witnesses to retire-those for the
defence to the law library and those for
the State to the grand Jury room-and re
obey said Judge Cullen, will be in CON
tempt of court, and if they are reported
the court will attend to them"
THE oNE-cENT STAMP EXPLAINED.
Postmaster Daniel +. Stewart, still suf-
fering from severe attack of the grip,
was first called to the stand and asked to
explain how the anonymous letter, which
bore only one-cent stamp, came TO be
passed through the post-oilice the same us
though it had been fully stamped MIR.
Stewart said he presumed the letter had
been considered to be an unsealed circular
letter, which requires only a one-ccnt
stamp, and forwarded as such. He said
persons frequently mailed sealed letters
with only one-cent stamp theron.
Mr.. Harrington objected to the witness
giving any presumption. and Judge
Houston remarked that Mr.. Harrington
was making too many groundless objec-
tions.
well, your honor, have the interest
of my clients at heart" rejoined Mr.. Har-
rington.

quired of the witness.
