In reply TO question by Alderman Car

replied that he was paid 81 so for week days
and s2 20 for Sundays. He is a switch

JONES STRAIGHT STORY.
The cross-examination by Mr.. Morgan
was very severe. but the witness was not
broken down IN any particular. Jones was
questioned as to his movements for the past
five years, the evident purpose being to
show that he was a worthless, wandering
character. but this failed, as the witness
gave the names Of every railroad on which
be worked during that period, and the
places at which he was stationed.
81 always found two watchmen at Mr..
Bandys when / went there ON Sundays" {"
said Jones. "They were at the gate, one a
tall yellow man and the other low black
man. I'd say 'How's everythingP and IL
the watohmen said AN right, could get
in"
Jones was very anxious to have the alder
men understand that be was not posing as a
reformer against his will, and never had
any idea OF being brought up as a witness
against Bandy when he got his Sunday
drinks there.
An amusing feature Of Jones' testimony
was the statement that no white people
were allowed in Bandy's on Sundays, and
when pressed for proof Of the assertion he
said that he went there one Sunday with a
white man and was refused admittance.
Mr.. Harvey Of the Central railroad, un-
der whom Jones works, testified that be is a
reliable, truthful man, and one Of the best
employees OF the road.
Ciaranca Smith corrnhorakad JoDeu tnsA; =
mony In every particular. He said the
liquor was sold TO them by Mrs. Bandy.
After he had been IN the row he went to
the Central railroad depot and asked Police
man Blakewood IL he couldn't get protec-
ton. The whisky. Smith said, was drawn
from water cooler by Mrs. Bandy.
THE CITY's LAST WITNESS.
Ed Young concluded the city's side Of the
case. He swore to the same facts that Bob
Jones and Clarence Smith had sworn to,
The negro In giving bis testimony looked to
be either drunk or badly scared and every
thing had to be pulled out OF him.
Mayor MoDonough recalled Jones and
Smith. and. placing both of them alongside
Of Young, asked the trio II either of them
had docketed Bandy, and whether they had
any ill-feeling toward him. To each ques-
ton the men emphatically replied in the
negative.
Il was nearly o'clock when the city
rested its case, and the long array of wit
nesses which the defense had summoned
wes evidence sufficient that if the trial were
continued it would run into Sunday. The
aldermen were not in humor for such a long
sitting. Alderman Myers moved that an
adjournment be taken till Tuesday after
noon at 4 O'Clock, which was adopted.
Alderman Bailey requested an opinion
from City Attorney Adams IL any alderman
except those present last night would be en-
titled to vote on the case Tuesday after
noon. Mr.. Adams ruled that they will not
unless the case be reopened and all the testi-
mony be heard over again. In view of this
state Of affairs the city attorney suggested
appeal make every effort TO be present Tues
day,
