MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Heart OF Africa.

THE Heart of Africa" a melodrama,
by HI. Il. Morell and Frederick Mouillot
was presented for the first time in this
city at the Portland Theatre last night
The scenes of this exciting and highly
original drama are laid in the diamond
fields of South Africa, already ripe with
song and wild romance. With the gilt
tering concomitants of big diamonds and
true love and mysterious murder, cum
ming detective skill and daring adven-
lures, one would naturally suppose the
audience that greeted the play of the
Byrons might get about all the excite
ment they could stand in one night. But
in addition to these dramatic features
the authors have involved us in the still
more exciting and perplexing .labyrinths
of the unknown. For the plot and ac-
ton hinge upon the still unmeasured
power of hypnotism. The scenic effects
were excellent. The various characters
were we'll taken. Of course Mr.. and
Mrs. Byron were received with loud ap-

CODGE PERClYAL BONNEYs
jaw which he removed from Mrs. Myer
had been given by him to Constable
Blake.
John WEIGH, young man who drives
an express team between Portland and
Yarmouth, was called next. He was
on his way from Portland with heavy
double team. AS he approached the
Prawda house he saw Prawda walking
backward and forward in front of his
house. AS witness drove along Prawda
was continuing walking backward and
forward, wringing his hands and cry
ing.
He asked witness if he would come in.
Witness said, "No, won't" Prawda
said Some one has shot my wife or a
lamp has exploded" Witness asked him
where he was at the time when it hap
pened, and Prawda said he was at the
barn doing his chores. AT about this
point there was rap ON the window of
the house. and then Mrs. Prawda APP
peared and asked the witness to go for
her brother. Prawda then said his
ness thought that Prawda had been iok-
ing since his wife appeared all right,
and drove off, saying to Prawda, "You
are liar" 1t was quite a common
thing for Prawda to joke with him as he
passed. The witness then drove on, and
had got along to the old Kinney farm
when Prawda passed on horseback. Wit
ness said to him, where in h are you
going now?n To this Prawda made no
answer. Witness then proceeded to Var
mouth, meeting the doctor and others
on the way After arriving and putting
up his team, witness returned to the
Prawda house.
Cross examining, Mr.. Chase went over
the ground covered by the witnesses tes-
timony quite carefully, but nothing new
of Importance was elected.
DR.. Charles W. Geroux, the Yarmouth
dentist who accompanied Dr. Hanson to
Prawda's house on the eventful night,
was called. As they arrived and went
into the house they found light in the
front hall, and proceeded up stairs to
Mrs. Meyers room, where they saw Mrs.
Meyer lying on the bed, with Mrs. P raw
IA standing over her. While the doctor
was dressing the wound, the witness was
looking about the room. He saw first
that little picture on the fmantel VISA
spotted with blood, and also that a
bloody piece OF muscle tissue was ad-
herring to the picture. Witness also saw
tho hnle in the window opd opo+b or
hole in the opposite wall. At about the
time this examination was concluded,
Prawda, George Garter and John Carter
came into the room. With these and
DR.. Hanson the witness went into the
next room, the upstairs kitchen, to
search for the bullet that had gone
through the wall. While searching
there George Carter found piece Of
lead, the bullet. The next morning the
witness found on the mantel in the front
room small silver of lead, which
seemed to have been Clipped off the bull
let.
At this point Mr.. True presented the
bullet and piece of lead, which the wit
ness identified.
The second Sunday after the tragedy the
witness went to Prawda's to see sleigh.
While there Prawda began voluntarily
to tell about the affair. Prawda said
he was in the privy when he heard the
shot. He thought the noise was in
the house, and made rush for it. At
the door he met his wife. She thought
the noise was out of doors and asked
aboatit Prawda said he thought it

Portland people are particularly for

Thomas @. Seabrooke and his comic OPP

mirth-provoking opera. No piece of re

was in the inside, and might have been
caused by explosion of some gun shells
which he had on the mantel. As Prawda
and his wife stood there, they heard
noise up stairs, and then started up,
as has been related before.
On cross examination Mr.. Chase sue
ceeded in shaking the witnesses identi-
fcation of the pieces of lead, DR.. Geroux
saying that he would not swear positive
ly that the pieces presented in court were
the same that he saw on the night of
the tragedy.
Also on cross examination the witness
stated a fact entirely new viz, that as
he drove away from the Prawda house
in the dark that night going after DR..
the darkness. That mans name was
Kinds, and he was then living in the
old Kenney house. Kinds was then
about half way to Yarmouth, and he
was coming from Yarmouth towards his
house. He carried
A Bundle and Gun.
Witness said that he told the circum-
stance to Constable Blake, who told him
to keep quiet about it, saying "We will
attend to that later" So witness had
said nothing about it and it had not
come out at the inquest. Witness did
not speak of it then because he was not
asked about it. Witness did not know
where Kinds was now, as he had moved
away last Tuesday.
Mr. George E. Carter, bright, intelli-
gent mulatto, was called next. He tes-
titled that Prawda had come to his house
that night. Witness was at that time
waiting for the express to bring out
from Portland some Thanksgiving ducks.
By the local time it was about half
past eight. Prawda came up and said
the old lady had been Shocked" and
then that she had been "shot." The
Carriers started with Prawda towards his
house. On the way witness asked the
latter who did it, and Prawdas said !:
My God, my God, Tom Carey. again,
