in the Holt Case.


Proves Good Evidence for the Prosecution
in the Holt Case.
The case of the Peoples Fire Insurance
Company against D. W. Holt, of Phillips
burg. Center county, was continued In the
United States Circuit Court yesterday. A.
V. Carpenter, an employee of the defendant,
was placed on the stand and testified to set
ting fire to the lumber yards at the request
OF Mr.. Holt The witness said he prepared
three tin boxes with shavings and
saturated them with coal oil. In
each box he placed piece of tai
low candle, and then placed these
boxes about the yard, and after lighting the
candles left the place and went to the Pot
ter House in Phillipsburg. From there he
went back with a crowd to the fire. The
witness met Holt on the way, and he told
the witness he was glad to see him safe, and
that he had made a good job of it, The wit
ness afterward met Holt, and he was com
mended for doing good job, the defend
ant at the same time stating that the
insurance adjusters had gone over the books
and found them all right. Before the lire
the defendant told the witness to raise the
figures on the amount of lumber saved as
turned into the bookkeeper, which he did
Ihe witness said he had no enmlty toward
the defendant, but he had held the secret for
years and wanted to clear his conscience let
the consequences be what they might. He
was given lot by Holt and the latter partly
paid in building house on it.
Judge Orvis, counsel for Mr. Holt,
started in to cross-examine the witness, but
the latter, who was i'll, could not stand the
strain and the cross-examination was post
poned.
j. Ganno, bookkeeper for Holt, was next
placed on the stand and testified as to the
tally sheets compared with the book OF
entry as to the amount of lumber sawed.
This witness was still on the stand when
court adjourned for the day.

with the rebels, and knew nothing about
them, but he talked so intelligently, told
me so much of the troops with Sheridan,

He quickly noticed the change and said:

When Sheridan asked me knew, there

my life in the keeping of strange colored

Sheridan Won the Famous Battle.
Upon the strength of the information CON-
tanned in the note Sheridan made the at
tack, and after bitter fight, lasting all
day, he won the battle, which routed the
Confederate forces from the Shenandoah
Valley, one of their strongest points. The
information was a confirmation of his own
views of the situation
After the battle he called upon the young
teacher, paid her his respects, told her of
the service of her note and made her his
friend for the rest of her life, presenting to
her few years later, in commem oration Of
the incident, a handsome watch and chain.
After the battle he also made an effort to
lind the colored man, but he was missing.
A few days ago Mr.. Wray, who has been
instrumental in finding him in the person
of Thomas Laws, received word that he had
been discovered, but the message contained
