Witness for the Defense.


CAMDEN, N. j., Nov. s.-After day
of rest the jurors who hold the fate OF
Francis Lingo in their hands filed iato
the Camden court house yesterday, look
ing refreshed and ready for a week of
patient listening to tedious testimony.
The case opened with continuation
of the cross-examination of Major
Holmes, the colored man who found
Mrs. Mller's body in the bush lot. lie
proved valuable witness for the de-
tense.
Holmes testified that before the body
was found he remarked 10 John Miller
that his wife might have dropped dead
i'll the woods near her home. Miller re-
piled: mo, you'll find her here in the
bush lot, You fellows go in this side OF
the road, and I'll go in ON the other side. =
Miller went in on the side opposite
that on which the body was found. The
witness said that Miller repeated, as they
started in to make the search, You'll
find her in there"
Prosecutor Jenkins objected to this
line of cross-examination, but the court
allowed Lingo's counsel to proceed.
When the body was found. the wit
ness said. Miller said, II want to see
my wife" The witness answered him,
Don't come here, Jehn, you might
faint" Miller replied, "All right and
turned away.
The evidence of Holmes was so favor
able TO the de:ei 5 that Prosecutor Jen-
kins ON the rediIe t examination, sought
10 break down the testim ny of his own
witness.
The prosecution got Holmes. to admit
that his wife is cousin OF Mrs. Lingo
The witness denied that he had talked
with any one about the case since last
Saturday.
The other witnesses examined were
Undertaken Bolton, George Morris, of
Philadelphia, Benjamin Forrest, Conrad
Q. kran2, Joseph Burroughs, Elwood
Rockhill, George Pardinet, Jr., and Ex-
County Clerk Edward Burroughs. Their
testimony added nothing new to the eyi-
dence published i'll the first trial.

scene. A horrible sight met their gaze
as they peered into the yawning abyss.
Nearly fifty feet below the surface
could be distinguished heap of debris,
with legs, arms and other parts of
human victims protruding. Willing
hands hurried to the assistance of the
unfortunate men, Michael Karko was

New ORLEANS, Nov. S.-The strike i
more general than ever. The decision
of the Typographical Union to join the
striking phalanx has nerved the Other
bodies which were neutral in the matter
and all of the labor unions which signed
the call for the general strike are nov

A Fight for Organization.
The proposition made through tn

The governor is keeping his staff witt

violence of any kind as yet, and nothiu

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. S.-Thomas Tag
gart, chairman of the Democratic state
committee, in an interview said: 1.-The
Democrats of Indiana were never in
finer shape for battle than they are to-
day, and feel confident that we will
carry the state for the national and state
tickets by pluralities exceeding ten thou
sand. This estimate is placed on the
lowest possible basis. We will elect
eleven of the thirteen congressman and
both branches OF the legislature, and
will return Democratic United States
senator. The Republicans are attempt.
Ing to use money freely, but cur workers
are vigilant and watchftfi, and the at
tempt to debauch our voters will only
get Republican boodlers into trouble.
We are fighting for an honest election
and fair count, and propose to haveit.'
j. w. Cody, chairman of the Repub-
lican state committee, was interviewed
directly afterward, and said: Il am
confident we will carry Indiana by from
1000 to 10000 plurality My reason for
believing so is that the party is thor
onghly organized in every county in the
state. We have made very active and
effective school house campaign. The
people have been attentive listeners to
the discussions in every instance, and
the masses of the people, regardless of
party, are, in my judgment, in favor of
protection and honest IN ney, and on
We expect to have a majority of the
thirteen congressman. We will have a
large majority in the lower house of the
Legislature, with fair prospects of ma
iority on joint ballot"

MARsHALs Ar THE POLLS.

The Attorney General Anticipates
no Trouble from Their Presence.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Seeretaly of
State Foster, having secured a pair with
the assistant attorney general of the
Democratic state government, remains
In Washington today. Up to yesterday
afternoon lie was the only cabinet officer
here, Secretary Tracy, of the navy, who
remained on guard While his associates
were away in indianapolis, having gona
to Brooklyn. But yesterday afternoon
the presidents official family was soae-
what unexpectedly reinforced by the ar
rival of Attorney General Miller, fresh
from Indianapolis. When questioned IT'S
to the reason of his return the attorney
general said:
"l Thought that might be of more
use here than in Indiana" he said in
case of any unusual events occurring
anywhere"
Asked if he really anticipated trouble
he replied that he did not; that he relied
on the good sense and patriotism Of the
people in charge of the polling places to
prevent violations of law and breaches
of the peace. He added that the United
States marshals were supposed to be
good citizens and their instructions ex-
plicit-not to be aggressive, or TO pro-
woke hostilities.
He felt sure that deputy mar5hals
would not invade the polling places with
out cause or endeGvor to allow wanton
exercise of authority.
The president, beyond receiving a call
from Attorney General Miller, was al
most alone all day. His chief and most
distinguished caller otherwise was Mr..
Blaine, whose visit stirred up no small
amount of gossip. The ex.secretary
walked over from his residence in Lafay-
cite square shortly before o'clock, and
was at once shown into the presidents
room. The call may simply have been
one Of personal coincidence, or it may
have had political import. No au-
thentic information can be obtained on
either point.
