FOR ENLIGHTENMENT
Charles NJ. Bader, Ex-oashior Of
the o. s. Express Company,
ON TRIAL ON The SERIOUS CHARGE
OF Stealing Large Sums of Money
from Express Packages in the ONCE.
The Evidence for the Defense Now
in Progress...Damagins Statements
Made by the Counsel.

The trial Of Charles NJ Eader, ex-
cashier. Of the U. S. express Office in
this city, charged with embezzling large
sums of money while in transmission
through that Office, was put on trial in
Part II of the Circuit, Judge PAUL. on
the bench, yesterday to the following
jury:
Alfonsus stenger, W. H. Taggart,
Charles Sample, Henry Kalbitzer, S. B.
Jefferson, William Il. Long, William T.
crummie, Lewis Newman, Elmer
Nichols, A. @. Wagner, George ZOerk-
Ter and James Mansbarger.
Capt Doveuer, Col. Arnett and John
j. ConifF appeared for the defense, while
Prosecuting Attorney Howardis assisted
by Col. Robert White.
In his opening statement Mr.. How.
ard said the prosecution would not only
prove that the prisoner had stolen $500
from package sent by Martin Conley,
OF Doddridge county, to Rev. Father
Mcaonamin, Of Benwood, but also that
on March l6, II and 81 he had failed to
deliver money packages. On the first
date he received $l45.75, the second
Sll0S0, and on the third date packages
Of S277.26 and $l6s.45.
Capt. Dovener made very emphatic
statement OF the case for the defense.
He said It would be shown that the
Conley money might have been stolen
from the package before it twas sealed
up, or after It had reached the Wheel
ing office, for, although it was true that
Eader only had the combination OF the
safe, it was left open at all hours, when
employees passed in and out and had
every opportunity to steal from 1t. The
captain also said the defense would
show that several officers were in
arrears, and the business Of the COM
pany was in bad shape, and he charged
that conspiracy against Eader existed.
Mr.. Howard, in response to the claim
OF good character made on his clients
behalf by Captain Dovener, said that 1t
would be proven, il necessary, that the
accused had been guilty OF embezzle-
ment before, that he was dissolute and
eStravagant. The statements were en-
liyened by several cross fires between
tho opposing counsel.
After these formOlities had been COM
pleted the jury was taken in body to
view the office and premises OF the ex-
press company, and the court adjourned
till afternoon.
In the afternoon Conley, who sent the
money to Father McMenamin, testified
to the manner OF its shipment, and
other witnesses told Of the same occur
rences. The case for the prosecution
was only fairly opened when the court
adjourned till this morning.

Tho Result Of IN Accident which Might
have Been much Worse.
A very narrow escape from. a horrible
death under the wheels OF a locomotive
occurred in the Cleveland, Lorain &

yesterday just before noon. James
Breedloye, a colored man twenty years
old, was on bis way to the Standard
mill, taking dinner to workman, and
seeing the Cleveland, Lorain 4 Wheel
ing yard engine starting for Etnaville,
he attempted TO step on the front foot
board or step OF the engine, and in do
ing so fell directly in front Of the
wheels. The engineer saw him fall and
applied the air so quickly that the
locked wheels of the trucks, together
with tho foot board, showed the man
along the track in front until the en-
CINE came to q halt.
Breedlove was taken from his peril
Gus position with a broken leg. DR..
Cook was called and reduced the frac-
ture.
Breedlove Is an expert bridge and
