NEW YORK, Dec. The identity of the
girl who was found in the East Chester
Creek has been revealed.

and there is great mystery surrounding
her death. Officials are asking: did

The fact that she bad run away from an
unhappy home points TO the SELF destruc-
tion theory. But the chief Of police feels
certain that some man tied the anchor TO
her waist and threw her into the water.
He thinks he knows that man. Death
was caused by drowning alone, an the
fact that the girl was inviolate removes
the most common motive for murder
from the case. The girls move nents
have been traced only up to within four
hours of her death and chief OF police to-
day thinks that the girl was murdered.
So do many of her people hereabouts.

Mitchell refers to Serve HIS Sentence
Rather Than Risk an Appeal.
LONDON. Dec. 7.-Yesterday WAS the
day fixed for the hearing of the case OF
Charley Mitchell, the puglist, by Judge
Sir Peter Edlin in the Clerkenwell Ses-
sions.
When the case was called Mitchell re-
sponded. He looked bright and com para
lively cheerful. He was neatly attired in
a morning coat aud wore a camella In a
butt tonhole.
His counsel stated that Mitchell wished
TO withdraw his appeal and TO serve out
the sentence imposed on MIN by. the po-
lice magistrate. When Mitchell's coun-
sci bad finished, Judge Edlin silently
scrutinized the pugilist. After a little
time he asked Mitchell in he had any
thing TO say for himself Mitchell curtly
responded that ne did not wish any delay
in beginning to serve his sentence. Judge
Edlin thereupon confirmed the sentence
of the police court, and imposed the cos
OF the appeal on the prisoner.
Mitchell was at once taken TO cell by
warders. Quite number OF the pugil-
lists friends were present. They consid-
cred that he was lucky TO get off as easily
as ne did, as Judge Edlin has deep root
ed aversion TO men OF MitchelPs class and
they are arraigned before him.
After Mitchell was locked up his
father-in-law Pony" Moore visited him
and bade him Roodby. Shortly afterward
Mitchell was placed in the prison van
and taken to Pentonville prison.
The streets III he vicinity of the court
room were crowded with men of the class
to which the fighter belongs, and as he
was driven off to Jail cheers were given
Tor him.

THAT BOTTLE.
"From Your Friends in the Woods" Called
For In the Graves Case.

For In the Graves CASE
DENVER, Col, Dec. AT 10 o'clock
| yesterday morning the Supreme Court
was filled with attorneys and others in
tereste in the final scene In the famous
Graves case.
After minor business Judge Macon, for
the plaintiff in error, asked that the court
order the famous bottle containing the
death dealing fluid from "your friend In
the woods" taken from the custody OF
the District Court to that Of this court.
The order was granted.
Ex-Asst.-Atty. Stevens began where he
left off upon adjournment Monday with
out preliminaries, arguing that the in-
| structions Of Judge Rising to the jury
| were not Objectionable; that IL is not true
that minor circumstances need necessari-
ly be proven.
Mr.. Stevens said in conclusion, "It Is
our earnest prayer that you will not re-
verse the decis ion OF the trial court In
case of such Importance as this, on
grounds Of crimes committed In broad
light OF day, that you will not confine the
state of Colorado to any narrow rules, TO
any technical errors
Asst. Dist. ATTY. Babb, followed Mr..
Stevens with a twenty minutes argu-
ment.
Judge Macon closed for the plaintiff in
error in brilliant effort Of an hours
duration. He reviewed the whole case,
and asserted that 80 per cent OF the stun
called evidence is In violation OF criminal
Jurisprudence" He dwelt largely upon
the testimony of Conrad, the prime mover
in the prosecution. and he manner in
which he had trcked Graves with Pink
erton detective, endeavoring to show
that, If he lied to Graves about the detec
tive, he would not hesitate TO do so 70
others
The judge gave newspaper reporters an
especial "roast" for their part IN the case.
His whole argument was 10 sarcastically
hold up every body aud everything coa-
nected with the prosecution, aud TO show
Graves as martyr
An opinion is not expected for three or
four weeks

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1892-06-25
ELKTON, JUNE %. 1892.

Now that Mr.. Cleveland has been
nominated by the Democrats, and
placed upon a platform that is in
tended as an adroit straddle upon
the silver question, it is proper to
ask,-how with his pronounced views
on that question he can honestly go
before the people on such party
declaration. Eastern Democrats who
favor a sound currency, and have
found great satisfaction in advocating
his nomination, have done so on the
declaration made by him in his letter
OF February 24th, 1885, after his
election to the Presidency, in which
he recommended the suspension Of
the purchase and coinage of silver,
as the only known means of main
tanning and continuing the use of the
mass of our gold coin.
No less important to sound cur
rency Democrats is Mr.. Cleveland's
declaration in his letter of February
10th, 1891, to the chairman of the
Cooper Union meeting i'll New York:
81 shall not be able to attend and
address the meeting as you request,
but am glad that the business in
terests OF New York are at last to
oeIeard on this subject. 1t surely
ssannot be necessary for me to make
a formal expression of my agree
ment with those who believe that
the greatest peril would be invited
by the adoption of the scheme en-
braced in the measure now pending
in Congress for the unlimited coin
age of silver at our MINIS.
1T we have developed an unex-
pected capacity for the assimilation
of largely increased volume of this
currency, and even if we have de
monstrated the usefulness Of such
an increase, other conditions fall far
short of insuring US against disaster,
if in the present situation we enter
upon the dangerous, the reckless
experiment of free, unlimited and
independent silver coinage
"Yours, very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND"
And yet the Democratic conven-
ton at Chicago has just placed Mr..
Cleveland upon another platform and
which his supporters say is perfectly
acceptable to free coinage Democrats.
Which is to be repudiated-the
platform or the man?
Why. the platform of course. 1t
has no meaning except as a vote
catcher. The New York SIN re.
Gently said:
at will make no difference to him
what plank these Democrats succeed
in inserting in the platform OF the
Convention, in case he should be
nominated. He will stand and he
will act on his own platform, not on
the platform Of the Convention of
the Democratic party. In his crusade
against the silver interests he will
repudiate the Conventions platform
as to silver, just as he repudiated
the platform of the Convention of
1884, when h began his crusade
for free trade.
>For Grover Cleveland feels and
understand that he is greater, wiser
and better than the Democratic
naTty
