STORIES OF TaE DAY.
Tho naight Of ais Ononao.

II was during the progress OF the
struggle for Charles Harris's half million
Of dollars at Dover last week that John
Draper, former Doverine but now q
Pbilsdelphian, was put on the stand by
Mr. Pennewill TO help prove the lunacy
Of the old man from conversations had
with him at intervals during his resi-
dence In Delaware
The direct examination was conducted
by Mr. Pennewill, and under bis ques.
tioning Mr.. Draper told pathetic story
Of the old mans eccentricities as the
witness had observed them.
Levi G. Bird thought he was loaded for
Mr. Draper, and he opened his
oross-examination in that uncompromis-
ing tone which so often intimidates
Witnesses and impresses juries in the
New Castle county courts.
What is your nameY'
"John Draper"
Where do you liveg"
"Iu Philadelphia
"You lived in Dover once, believer

Several months ago
"What made you leave2'

Didn't you know there was an indict.
ment hanging over you in the criminal
court of this county,

"Don't you know that there Is an in
dictment now in the hands Of the state
oflicersY
Cant say that DO
Bat do you say that there isn'tg'
81 can't say that DO
Mr. Bird dropped the matter there ard
left the oifense for the jury TO determine
ia considering the weight Of the evi
dence of a witness who was under in
diotment for criminal oifense. Not so
with Mr. Pennewil he proposed to
help Mr. Bird ont, and began his redirect
examination with that.obiect In view.
"Mr Draper, for what ofiense were
you brought before the grand juryg' he
asked
Mr. Draper glanced at Mr.. Bird patron
izingly and, in contemptuous tone, re-
piiea.
For hittin' a Niger"
"iou Democrats down here don't con.
slider hittin' nigger as much Of an Of
fense, broke In Mr Blvd.
Cant say that we do" replied Mr..
Draper, In the same patronizing tone
