HE closing down of the Elk
horn tunnel just at this time is a
surprise, as we'll a mistake. We
understand that things are looking
very good at the mine, much bet
ter than at any time since the lead
was lost. The company has taken
over 81 100000 out of Elkhorn, and
undoubtedly there is plenty more
there to be taken out, which con-
tinuance of the judicious prospect
ing under Superintendent Griffith
is bound to bring to light.
SUPERINTENDENT HARDEss, of the
Philadelphia & Idaho Co., is de-
serving of the everlasting thanks of
all Ketchum, for starting up the
smelter just at the time when the
people most needed work-at the
commencement of long, hard win
ter. Taking into consideration the
disadvantages Mr.. Hardess had to
work under to commence opera
tons on purely experimental run,
the extra expense that the winter
weather necessarily caused, all of
which he was aware would initiate
against the success of his expert
ment, his action is most commend
able, and the evident success he has
attained will be gratifying to all.

place of Mr.. Dnnohoe would have turned
over Flood to the police at once. Instead
of that he sent for him to come to tie
bank that he might try 10 help him out Of
the difficulty.
Flood was stubborn, however, and re-
fused to explain. Even then Mr.. Donohoe
was lOath to prosecute the case because of
his friendship for Flood, and even now he
had positively refused to go upon the
stand and testify against one with whom
he had enjoyed such friendly and confiden-
tal relations during so many years.
But Mr.. Donoh0e had public duty to
perform, the general said. lie owed it to
the community in which he lived to make
an example of Flood.
And now the jury had its duty to per-
form. The crime of EN- mbeZzlement was
altogether of too frequent occurrence,
counsel thought, and the jury should show
by its verdict that it was determined TO
put down its foot and frown upon the
rising tendency of trusted employees to
! embezze funds from Institutions in which
they held positions of trust.
At the conclusion OF General Barnes
address Judge Seawell said he would in-
struct the jury as TO the law in the case
when court reassembled this morning.
The morning call., 1893-06-15

Foote thonght, by his statement to young
DoDohoe and others that the shortage had
occurred years before.
And when yon leave this box TO delib-
crate on your verdict" counsel concluded,
II shall believe the hour and the moment
OF his delverance have come"
In all Mr.. Foote talked little more than
an hour. At times he waXed spectacularly
eloquent. and when he finally concluded
General Barnes concluding speech was
admirable, first OF all for its brevity.
Mr.. Flood was an object OF profound
pity and c0mmiSeratlon to him. the gen.
eral said, and ne had no wish to increase
his already heavy burden by any harsh
comment.
He then went over the story of the dis
covery of the shortage by the unexpected
visit of the Bank Commissioners. He
described the scene in the bank when it
became known that there was deficit in
the funds. No man fled except the ac-
cused, he said.
If 1t had been nothing more than a mis-
take of Floods what more natural than
for him to have unburdened himself to his
friend, MIR. Donohoe, who would have done
all in his power to have righted the matter
and helped Flood over the difficulty?
But instead of doing this the guilty man.
knowing his guilt. fed from his friends
MIR. FoOte had argued Floods innocence
because he had stayed in the city instead
OF going away. He could not go away
said General Barnes. He knew he could
not go, and Mr.. Chadwick also told him
that was impossible.
1t was no defense at all, the general con-
tended, for Flood to say he had none of
the money now. The money was gone

this defendant. You are now trying the
case, not upon all the facts, but upon such
Of them as may look darkest for Mr..
Flood. The prosecution has withheld the
others. Had all the facts been admitted
they would show You that this defendant
has been guilty of no crime of which the
laws of his country take cognizance.
The elder Mr.. Don0hoe has sat here
mute, and we know nothing OF the conver-
sation which took place between him and
Mr.. Flood when the shortage was discov-
cred.
"As to the interview between Mr.. Flood
and the bank directors, it was cOnYersa-
ton that lasted for an hour, vet they have
repeated it here on the stand in a few
minutes. Now. some Of that conversation
was omitted; ask you to believe that"
Mr.. Foote then spoke of Floods kindly
feelings toward Mr.. Donoh0e, who lad
Deen the friend of n lifetime. Flood s
eyes dropped when his counsel reverted
to his clients intended suicide. He had
been smiling before.
Flood had ample time TO fly from the
consequences of his mistakes, said FoOte
and that he did not was sign that he had
not guilt upon his conscience. For sixteen
DAYS after the Bank Commissioners made
their discovery Flood walked the streets a
free man.
What would man have done who had
forfeited his honor for filthy lucre? What
would Flood have done had the conscious
ness OF guilt been upon him? He would
have fled from the wrath to come"
Counsel then declared that the reason
Flood had refused TO name the persons
who received the money was because he
desired TO shield Mr.. DOnohoe in the mat
ter. Before the Bank Commissioners
would issue certificate enabling the bank
TO continue business the shareholders had
10 make good the amount of the sh ortage.
Now ii Flood had revealed all the trans
actions connected with that shortage they
would have shown that the old partners
were responsible for the money, and the
stockholders OF the present concern would
nave cause Tor action to recover the whole
amount from Mr.. Donohoe and the old
partners.
When private counsel were employed to
prosecute an alleged offender against the
statutes of the State there was apt to be,
| perhaps unconsciously, more of persecu-
ton than prosecution in the conduct of the
case.
lie asked the jury to remember that
General Barnes would receive some sub
| stantlal portion of the assets of the bank
1or DIS services in the case, and possibly
the amount would depend upon his elo-
| qnence before the jury. So counsel asked
the jury TO pay less atten ton 10 the gen.
erars Forthcoming remarks as he grew
more eloquent.
Mr.. Foote contended that his client hat
been guilty of no statutory offense, an(
| that the prosecution had not even proved

"John," said the old man in London to his
son, II Will give you e100 10 go away with.
Maybe as you don't like my business you Will

Three weeks later the young man landed in
New YorE. A month later finding but sc in

again.
1t was best TO let his father know before

witnesses were introduced by the defense.
The only testimony he offered-if Gen
eral Barnes word be taken for twas
that of his counsel, MI FoOte. And he
wasn't sworn," as the general put ii.
His defense waS-as outlined in THE
CALL yesterday-that the funds in queS-
tiOn were not the property of the present
clearinghouse of DOnO OhOe-kelly. but be-
loDged to the old firm of Donohoe, Kelly &
Co., OF which he was partner.
Attorney Foote and General Barnes both
made their addresses to the jury yesterday

lights were to speak on the same day was

times larger than could possibly be accom-
modated within the otherwise ample limits
Of Judge SeawelPS courtroom.
This morning at 10 o'clock the court
will instruc; the jury. The next and last
incident of the short but famous trial will
be the verdict.
When court convened yesterday morn
Ing Bank Commissioner a. Gerberding
was the witness first called.
He testified as TO the examination of the
affairs OF the bank made on April t last.
I'VE found a shortage of S164, 000," he
said.
''Do YOU know whether there were any
certificates of stock, as shown by a state
ment. produced LOT tQe D6nent or the
shortage or to explain how it Orcurred ?''
asked Mr.. FOote upon cross-examnation
The prosecution objected and the ques-
tion was ruled out.
w. II. knight, anotherlof the Bank Com
mlssIOners who parties pated in that exam
lnatlnn, was the next witness. He also
testified as 10 the shortage found.
Next, 2. G. Galpin, the attorney for the
bank. took the witness chair. He testified
that he saw the defendant In the back
room at the bank on the day after the
shortage was discovered There were
present Mr.. Donohoe, Mr.. Flood and him
self. Mr.. DOnohOe asked Flood what the
shortage meant Foods answer was:
1T means that l have taken S164. co.,"
Air Donohoe then asked Flood when the
money was taken and Flood replied that it
had all been taken within two months.
Upon cross-eXamnatiOn Mr.. Galpin said
that Flood did not have a legal adviser
present at that interview and that Flood
had said, in reply to Galpin's question.
I ou do not want to know where that
money went. never got a cent of it,
Attorney FOOte then asked that the wit.
ness produce certain draft which he
claimed would be advantageous to his
client. Mr.. Galpin declined to produce il.
Here an argument ensued which ccn-
sumed the rest of the morning session.
Mr. Foote fought hard not only for the
production of the document in question
but for the books of the banking-hOuse
