THREE ON THE STAND
THE COFFINs AND REED GAVE
THEIR TESTIMONY YESTERDAY.
II. Is. Coffin Also showed a Disposition
Not to Know About Some
of the Drafts.

Mr.. A. c. Harris, who was shot by
client. causing the first interruption of the
first trial Of the bank case, was present in
the court room all day yesterday for the
first time since he received his wound. He
watched the proceedings carefully, but took
no part in them, and will not again be con-
nected with the case. 1t had at first been
expected to have him take part in the
gument, but he says he will not appear in
the case in any capacity whatever.
The croSs-examination of +. A. Coffin oc-
cupied all OF the morning session yesterday.
Shortly after the converting of the court
for the afternoon session p. 3. Coffin. the
youngest Of the defendants. was called to
the stand. AS in the case OF his brother,
the government succeeded in drawing from
him very little, If any. damaging facts. 1t
was noticed that he likewise was reluctant
in his answers TO the counsel for the gov
eminent, and always weighed his responses
carefully before giving them. 1t was
shown by him that the debt of the cabinet
company, representing interest and dis
count on transactions with the bank,
amounted to $4,000. He also testified that
the total amount OF checks drawn upon
the bank was in excess of S5O0O.0O0. and
gave number of statements to show the
CAteit VI tire trdHSdctlOnS Vi the cabinet
company and the magnitude of the concern.
About the middle of the afternoon the
cross-examination of p. B. Coffin was COM
pleted. and Albert s. Reed, the last of the
three defendants. was called to the stand.
His manner was much different from that
of his two codefendants. He seemed much
excited. and his voice trembled at times
50 as to be scarcely audible to persons
sitting Immediately behind him. He re-
lated brief history of his life from the
time he left the army down to the present
time, including his connection with the
cabinet company, and employment by the
receiver of the company after the failure
of the company. He seemed to be much
excited while giving his testimony, and
faltered somewhat, though the faltering
seemed to be more from the excitement
than any other cause

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FEES.
Baldwin Was Not the First Man Who
Made Fortune Out of the Office.

"The Journal is incorrect in saying that
Daniel p. Baldwin was the first Attorney
general to get wealth out Of the fees of
Office" said well-known lawyer in this
city to reporter yesterday. He was not
the first. He found the law on the statute
book and worked it, AS matter of fact.
the Attorney-gen who was the first TO
get big money out of the office held the
position eight ten years before Baldwin.
He got $4,000 in four years and lost il In
wheat speculation His successor got nearly
as much, but actually went out of the Of
fee defaulter These were before Mr.
Baldwin. They came into office when coun-
" officers were holding back large sums of
State. The first1named off f Found one
man who owed the state $500, and made
him pay. When Baldwin came in the pot
had boiled rather low. and he had to prod
the delinquents He brought many suits,
and his activity made the delinquents feel
that he was the man who first worked the
Zee business. his successor got the benefit
of many of his suits Baldwin was a very
active Attorney-general. Some OF the same
men who were the agents OF Attorneys gen.
eral twenty years ago are the agents of
the present Acknowledgement to go about
and find the delinquents. Only experienced
men can get at the facts. The Attorney
general in getting fees does not mind
whether his deputies are of his party or
the opposition The officers are after the
fees. No one could tell by the books at the
StatehouSe how much the Attorneys-gen-
eral received until the passage OF the act
requiring the amounts to be reported by the
Auditor The present law gives II per cent
or all collections. IL is a part OF the famous
fee and salary law / heard Green Smith
say that the change OF the commission to

have had when elected. There would be no
sums over $1,000. remarked the Journals

Last Saturday night a well-dressed man,
about thirty years old, took a watch to
Thomas w. Gardeners jewelry shop No.
% East Market street, to get it repaired
He was told that it would be finished Mon
day. Yesterday morning the man called at
the store to get the watch. He was told
that ii was finished, and the clerk went to
get it. While the clerk was doing this the
man stepped around in behind the counter
to where the repair bench stood. On the
bench in an envelope were number OF
valuable diamonds. The man, seeing the
clerk coming toward him with the watch.
took three Of the diamonds. though unno-

& Weird Love Story.

1.-THE strangest test of will power and
endurance ever made, " said E. ID. Con
sauls of the City of Mexico, at the
Southern, was in Mexico, the charac-
tiers being a Mexican girl and an Amer
lean man. They were lovers, and the
girls parents refused their consent to
the union, insisting that she should
marry a wealthy Mexican sutton. AT
the suggestion of the girl they agreed
to die together, and to test the strength
and endurance Of each others love
they chose a means of suicide unlike
any ever dreamed of before. Food
and fruit were placed on table in the
center of a room, occupied by both, the
girl having escaped from her home, but
being unwilling to elope with her lover.
1t was agreed that they should starve
to death with plenty before them, and
should either succumb to nature and
partake of the food then both were re-
leased from the bond of death, but there
should be an everlasting separation. For
12 days they endured the pangs of hun
ger without a murmur or thought OF
wavering from their purpose to die to-
gether. The twelfth day the father of
the girl discovered her whereabouts,
and breaking the door they We're car
ried out, too faint to stand alone. 1t
took them several days to recover their
strength. and when they did they were
married. This is true statement, and

Counterfeit Coins.

Within the last few years numbers OF
forgeries of extremely rare coins in the
British museum and in private collec-
lions have been sold by auction in Lon
don. So good is their execution that it
seems probable that means have been
devised for casting steel dies on plaster
casts or of hardening electrotype dies.
The manufacture of rare siege pieces,
carried on in one of our midland towns,
shows far lower amount of skill.
When genuine but defaced coins are
restruck with new impressions, it is
very difficult to discover the fraud.
Some genuine ancient coins are surfrap-
pees in this manner-as, for instance,
whole class of Jewish coins which are
struck on Roman silver denarii. But
when the image and superscription of
William III can be discerned underly-
ing the device on a rare crown piece of
Elizabeth the question of its authentic
ity is soon solved.-Longman's Maya
zine.

The Law of the Jingle.

The law of the jungle, which never
orders anything without reason. for
bids every beast to eat man except when
he is killing to show his children how
to kill, and then he must hunt outside
the hunting grounds Of his pack or
tribe. The real reason for this is that
man killing means, sooner or later, the
arrival of white men on elephants, with
guns. and hundreds of brown men with
gongs and rockets and torches. Then
everybody in the jungle suffers. The
reason the beasts give among them
selves is that man is the weakest and
most defenseless of all living things,
and it is unspor.smanlike to touch him.
They say, too--and it is true-that man
eaters become NANCY and lose their
teeth. -Rudyard Kipling in st. Mich

that old woman found space to keep the
stern vital energies that lined her grim,
carved face can scarcely guess. She
looked no more living than seaweed
does, dried and stretched on paper. Her
arms. her legs-thrust almost into the
fire-were so shrunk that the long
leathern flesh and faccid muscles hung
round them like dangling shreds on
sticks.
"Ru,nd her neck were beads Of

long spear that hung against the wall
and told me with a proud gesture that
he had often killed his man, but more
often with a sword, and taking me by

he used to do it. He was 80 years old
