with having outraged Mrs. Allie Fergu.

count OF which appeared in THE TINES
of yesterday. Justice Gregory's Office
was packed with a large crowd of eager
spectators.
Capt. Geo. McH. Gish had been EN-.
ploYed and was present TO prosecute
and the prisoner was represented by
Edward Lyle.
The statement made by Ferguson was
in the main the same as his published
story in THE TIMES, but Mrs. Ferguson
moderated her story and said in sub.
stance that she made no outcry or serious
resistance from the fact that she knew
it would be useless as Lowry WAS so
much stronger than she. The prisone r

tains his innocence and denies that any
coercion was used.
The case was ably argued by counsel
and the justice sent the prisoner on to
await the action of the grand Jury.

that the prisoner was innocent under
the law, the justice thought the affair
should be investigated by the grand
jury.
Mr.. Lyle, the accused's counsel, will
go to Salem this orning to make q
motion in the county court to release
the prisoner on bail.

The Treasury has N ade serious mis-
take in letting its July purchases fall
below the mandatory 100000 ounces,
and the silver men will use it for more

of evils as consequence Of continued
silver purchases, would do we'll to
hedge on their sta tements. The views
OF William Sc ligman, the weil-known
New York banker, on the situation will

Sherman act Is responsible for the pres.
