Councilman Ford's successor in the
Olympia city council will not be elected
until the next meeting of that body. The
matter was deferred last night upon the
written request Of citizens of the Eastside
who desired further time in which to find
a man who could fill the chair left vacant
by Mr.. Ford's departure. All the business
of the session was transacted by five mem
bers, Sickles being absent.
Resolutions providing for the grayelimg
of Ninth street from Main to Columbia

ments remained unpaid, and for this rea-
son the resolutions mentioned were not
granted.
A report was made by City Attorney
Linn upon the claim of [. Liberman for
damages for breach of his Page street con-
tract. Mr.. Linn informed the council that
the contractor was entitled to recover dam
ages to the extent of his loss of profit on
the contract, and for the time his men and
teams were necessarily delayed, unless he
has released the city from liability.
In rebuttal Mr.. Liberman maintains that
no such release was made. Members of the
council, together with the engineer, say
the release was made. The opinion was
placed on file.
A letter from Mr.. Liberman was read in
which he urged the payment of his Four
teenth street claim, saying that he had
done the extra work at the suggestion of
Councilman McBratney, and continued
lie promised me as man that he would
report same to the council and they would
protect me on same. For reasons that !
am not just at present to say, Mr.. McBrat-
ney has forgotten same" He asked the
appointment of a special committee to ex-
anime the claim. The request was granted
on motion of Mr.. Frisch. The special com.
mittee consists of Messrs. Frisch, Talcott
and Phipps.

h Cornell -Gaddis Murder Trial
Continued To-Day.
COL. STINeSS MAKES AREQUEST.
He Wants Mrs. Cornell Excluded from the
Court Room-Dr. Smith Describes the
wounds - Mrs. Reynolds Upon the
stand-Other Testimony.

EAST GREENWICH, April 19.-The Con-
nell-Gaddis murder trial was resumed
this morning, the state beginning the evil
dence by Offering DR.. Robert w. Smith Of
River Point, who was one Of the physi-
clans summoned to attend James Gaddis.
Before he was allowed to give any evil
dence, Col. Stiness addressed the court
and asked that Mrs. Eliza Reynolds be
excluded from the court room.
why's" asked Judge Wilbur.
because she is the chief witness for the
State. Because am informed, and upon
good authority, that within the last
twenty-four hours she has expressed her
self in bitter terms against Cornell, aud
her prejudice is such that she should not
be allowed to remain here and hear what
the others swear to-"
The Court directed Mrs. Reynolds to
retire and TO remain out of the room
until she was called by the State to give
her evidence.
DIR. Smith swore that he reached the
house twenty minutes before Gaddis died;
that Gaddis apparently realized that he
was about to die, and that death was
caused by a large lacerated wound. AT
the autopsy n number of small bird shot
were found on the opposite wall of the
wound. In cross-examination he said
that had Gaddis been standing erect at
the time he was shot the muzzle of the
gun must have been DETECTED.
Mrs. Eliza NJ. X reynolds swore that she
had known Cornell eighteen years and
Gaddis four years. When she and her
sister came home from the mill on Oct.
3lst last, Cornell was drank, and when
Gaddis came I'm Cornell was lying on the
bed. The bed room door was open. Cad
dis came in by the back door, spoke to
Mrs Cornell and then witness, and asked
the latter what was the matter with her
face.
II was cut, and the witness told Gaddis
that Cornell struck him. Cornell did this
when she first came from the mill, declar-
ing that he had supported her long enough.
This assertion was not true, as she earned
her own living.
Mr.. Burbank pressed for further expla-
nation OF the assault.
Mr.. Stiness objected as Gaddis was not
present when the assault was made.
Mr.. Burbank said that Gaddis was not
here to be examined.
Mr.. Stiness said that he would have
been had he kept away from Cornell's
house
Mrs. Reynolds was finally allowed to
testify am said that when Galldes ca ne
in she told him that she had been ASSAULT
ell.
Cornell came out to the kitchen and
after n few minutes delay, struck the wit
ness on the head twice with his clencbed
fist.
Gaddis seized Cornell and threw him
down. Cornell got up, mutt red some
thing and rushing to the BEDROOM, got
his gun stood In the doorway, took delib-
crate aim and fired. Then he turned aud
went back into the bedroom.

He 10 Charged With Embezzlement Of
Goods OF the Boston Store.
Theodore V. Latham. wno attempted to
commit suicide at his boarding-house on
Clifford street recently, was arraigned in
the Sixth District Court this morning,
charged with embezzlement. Latham
was employed at the head of the whole
sale department Of the Boston store, aud
in this capacity he did considerable pur-
chasing for the store. Shortly before his
attempt on his life chatham sold two
watches which he had purchased for the
store, and pocketed the money received.
The fear OF this being discovered and his
family troubles probably drove the man
to his desperate deed.
Latham was discharged from the hos
pital yesterday, but the bullet is still in
his brain. The man looks very thin, but
says that he suffers no inconvenience
from the ball of lead in his head. He was
arrested Immediately after his discharge
from the hospital by Detective Parker on
a warrant sworn out by Calender, Nc
Auslan a. Troup. and in the court this
morning he pleaded guilty and was bound
