HAYTER RETALIATRS.
He Says That He Truly Interpreted
at the KOccis Trial.
Sperio to the .Trt~rat Citv Neps.

Sl7er al to the .Ter"f2f Cfu Netrs.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. Z, 1884,
Joseph Hayter, court interpreter in Mid
dlesex County, charges through affidavits
published in the local papers, today, that
death of John Koccis, who was TO have
been hanged at Trenton, yesterday, to
life Imprisonment, was fraudule1ftly Sc
cured.
Koccis, who was charged with the
murder of Mary Magolis at Trenton in
July, 1892, had able lawyers to defend
him. Their last effort to save him was
based principally upon an affidavit of
F. j. Nekarda, a New York lawyer, and
publisher of newspaper in the Slavok
language, to the effect that he had had
a conversation with Hayter, who was
the interpreter for the defence at Koc-
els trial, and that Hayter had only a
slight knowledge of the Slavok, the Ian
guage spoken by Koccis, and that there
was no such word in that language as
Hayter at the trial interpreted as mean
ing yes
This affidavit was supplemented by
an admission from Hayter that he had
only an imperfect knowledge of Slavoll,
he being a native of the Province of
Kalis. Russia.
Mr. Hayter replies, in his published
affidaits that he understood every word
spoken by Koccis: that he made no ad-
mission to Nekarda nor anyone else:
that Nekarda had no opportunity to
judge of his knowledge of the Slavok
language, since he did not have twenty
words with him: that thorough investi-
cation had been made by the Austrian
Consul and Slavok interpreters of his
ability to interpret the language, and
that the Court had selected him in pref
erence to all others.

that the Japanese forces in Corea will

Chinese were taken completely by sur
prise and, consequently, were able to
offer no opposition to the occupancy of
the island or the landing of the large
quantity of arms, ammunition, provisions,

thing connected with the affair indicates
the purpose of the Japanese to stand a

There is a mysterious activity among the

that the mills will all resume work Monday
morning. Agent Kent, of the Wamsutta,

Potomska, have been ordered to get things
in their departments Strengthened out, and
an unusual number of loads of coal and cot

Inquiry at the offices. however, elicits no

ENORMOUS LOSSES.
Decrease In Our Foreign Trade
During the Tariff Discussion.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Z, 1S94.-The en-
ormous falling off in the United States
Customs receipts during the pendency of

that period, but Customs officials and
others having to deal with the assess
ment of duties, were hardly prepared for
the showing contained in reports re-
ceived and just compiled at the State

dated statements of the exports Of var
ious countries to the United States show

creased to an extraordinary degree as
