on a charge OF gambling. They were kept
in box car all night, and brought to the
lodged in jail. This morning they had a
hearing before Justice Forward. The
only evidence against them We're a deck
Of cards, q. pocketbook with some money
in ii which was found on a beam, and a
quarter on the floor. and there was no
evidence that either of these had any con-
nection with game for money. 1t also
transpired that only one OF the eight men
had any money. After hearing the evil
dence, and few remarks from Mr.. Mac
Williams, the defendants attorney, Judge
Forward promptly released the men.
The Hardee murder case at TitusviIe so
far has taken the course predicted and at
this point after the most Of the states evil
dence IS in, II is only truth 10 say that the
clouds have lightened in Hardee's favor
and the pendulum OF hope has swung ia
his direction. If public opinion is to be
used as pointer Hardee will certainly
come clear. The young lady mentioned as
being indirectly interested I'm this case on
Hardees account, is Miss Olds who was
mentioned to-day in Miss Sorrenson's tes-
timony. When Hardee was suspected he
got statement from one of the vigilant
committee about his interest in the case
for this young lady to whom he was said
to be engaged. Her parents objected for
some reason to Hardee's attentions to their
daughter and she is now in Massachu-
sets, but IL is understood has remained
true to him with true womanly faith in his
innocence. 1t IS thought that the evil
dence concerning the tracks which it was
supposed would be damaging to Hardee,
is of little use to the state, as the meas
urements don't tally sufficiently to make
strong testimony against him. Besides
the testimony of the negroes as to their
seeing Hardee coming out of the bushes
in the direction indicated by the tracks
leading from the scene of the murder was
not given in such way as to carry much
weight, being shattered by Mr. PoDe's
discrimination. The defense seems
confident Of success. Ii has been decided
that Miss Kaiser the murdered woman,
was chaste. This gives the state a black
eve.

Grafton Of the question as to what means
should be taken to compel witnesses to
answer questions. The kilbourne case
proved a snag, and there was cOusidera-
pie diversity OF opinion as to what could
be done in view of the decision sustaining
Mr. Kilbourne in refusing TO answer olies-
tions put to him by a Senate committee.
III was finally agreed TO let the matter 90
over until tomorrow, when the commit
tee will endeavor TO reach a conclusion.
Two witnesses were examined at the af-
ternoon session.
EX-COngressman Ben LeFevre of Ohio.
appeared to testify with reference to a
statement in the Philadelphia Press ar
tlcle tnat Mr.. Havemeyer, II. L. Terrell
{. Meyer and MIR. LeFevre represented
the sugar trust at an alleged meeting at
the capitol when the sugar schedule was
rearranged at the instigation of the
trust. The name of MIR. LeFevre was
also suggested yesterday by Correspon-
dent Edwards, of the PHILADELPHIA
Press, as one of those who could throw
light on his allegations Mr.. LeFevre
denied that he was present on the alleged
occasion and also that he had anything
whatever to do with rearrauging the
sugar schedule as a representative of the
sugar trust. He even denied that he
knew the gentlemen named in connection
with himself in the Press article.
SENATOR CAFFERY A WITNESS.
Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, was the
other witness. He was called with ref
erence to a statement in the Philadelphia
Press, that after conference between
the sugar trust representatives and GER
tain senators, Senator Cafery drafted a
schedule, Mr.. Havemeyer looking over
his shoulder and the other members of
the sugar trust watching the senator
with eyes that fairly glistened, " and the
additional statement that the original
draft of the schedule in Senator Caffery's
handwriting was still in the possession of
the finance committee, with the approv-
ing remarks of the sugar trust on it,"
Senator Gallery denied these allegations
in toto He said he had not participated
in any conference with the sugar trust,
and that he did not write any sugar
schedule He denied, absolutely, every
statement made by Mr.. Edwards with
| reference to his alleged connection with
the matter.
No witnesses will be examined by the
committee tomorrow, but the whole day
will be given up to an attempt to reach
an agreement on the question of com
