Court this morning The prcsecntlne A.

thought at the time that the m al wac
innocent, ana the children we're mis-
taken IN the ran. But when be slfted
the testimsny ae corcluded that ths
story told by the children was true. as it
had been p-lcontradicted.
Frank d. Carpenter took up the case
for the. defence. Re showed many dis
crepg.neies in the testimony Of the wit
n~ses for the prosecution Mr..
Carpenter seemed to infer that the whole
story was cooked up one for the pur-
pose Of discriminating the defendant.
although no evidence was given to
support these inferences Mr.. Car
penteI said: Il sm positively Convinced
that there is mystery connected with
this case somewhere, Someone certainly
tempered with this girl, but am con
vinced that Spoerl is not the
man. Someone did this, aud think that
IL was done by someone else, and what is
more, it was done on Thursday The
crime is laid ct the door of SDoarl. but it
is positively asserted by reputable men
with whom your Honor Is acquainted
that the crime could not have been
committed by Spoerl on that
day at that time. These children have
correlated each other very closely, and l
sincerely believe that some one, know
not who it is, has helped these children
TO tell this story as they have told It -"
Mr.. Turner completed the argument
for the defence He also showed many
n atn in = ha aF he
three witnesses He argued, and clearly
proved an alibi for the prisoner Wit
nesses testified positively to where the
prisoner was during the time the crime
was committed Mr.. Turner said II have
theory Of this matter and am certain
that on investigation it will be found to
be true What this theory is Mr.
Turner did not state, but 1t is that the
testimony Of the child, Mary Wilcox is
in the main correct, but
she has mistaken another man for
SpOerl. some one committed this crime
and the children we're each instructed in
the story they wer3 to tell. Spoerl's
name was suggested and the person who
committed the crime, whoever this was,
placed the crime on his shoul
ders. The little discrepancies in
the stories, their uniformity
about special points and other things
give creditability to this theory The
children were all uniform in some state
ments, while in others there was wide
dictinction in their testimony
In reply to the defence Mr. Lyman
said that it was an unpleasant duty for
him to push case against any man, but
he must do it for the protection of
society
Judge Ball summed up the evidence of
the case. He said that If the evidence of
the defence we're correct, the testimony
of the children aged :, s and years
is conspiracy. Mr. Spoerl
had always been kiRd to them and they
had no object in making conspiracy
against him. From the evidence the
judge held him in 81 600 bail for his ap-
peerance at the upper court

PRICE RAID.

In 1872 Congress appropriated ssss.sI7s7 to
pay claims against the United States grow
ing out OF the Price raid of 1864, such claims
having been allowed by what was known as
the Hardie commission. The State Treas
urer, in making payments, did not confine
himself to the list of claims so allowed. but
left OF such claims unpaid sI9,a52.44. The
State received the money so appropriated ia
trust for the claimants, and good faith de-
mands that provision shall be made for the
payment OF such parties as were thus
wronged by the action of the State Treas
urer. 4 careful examination has been made
of all claims not heretofore acted on by the
General Government and vouchers therefor
have been forwarded to the State agent at
Washington for settlement. They amount to
S., s97.S3, all of which seem to be just and
there is good reason to expect their payment

career OF the M an VINO Knows All There Is
to Know About Liquor.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
The most successful authority on the
quality and proper grading of liquor in this
country is man with funny history. He
is recognized as the greatest authority on the
quality of whisky and brandy in the world,
and deserves the credit, too. I don't sup
pose there is another man on earth who
knows as much about whisky as he does
His knowledge was obtained in the right
way, too, because ten years ago he was a
common drunkard in Minnesota town.
He was famous all over the Northwest as a
drunkard and worthless yagabond, who lived
only for the whisky he could get to drink
He is now so years of age, and for 80 never
did anything but drink whisky, until, as he
says, he was thoroughly saturated with it
About six years ago, when there appeared
no chance of his redemption, he began to
pass upon aud criticise the quality of
whisky for a Chicago saloon Keeper and
finally attracted the attention of experts by
his remarkable knowledge of the Kentucky
fluid. He was employed by a Peoria dis
tiller and, strange to say, stopped drink
ing. He tests liquor by rubbing it on his
hands and breathing the odor, and you
can't fool him on any brand of whisky made
in this country. He can grade so different
whiskies by smelling Of them, and makes
more money in year now than he made in
20 during his drinking days. He is now
employed by the largest liquor house in
New York,
