WATERING ITS ASSETS
WOoten Company Manager Ex-
poses a Scheme of the Collins.
Patents Bought for $1,000 and Rated
as $4,000 in Assets Bank
Case Proceedings.

The bank case yesterday morning passed
the point where the evidence is a mere re-
production of that upon the former trial.
Yesterday morning the testimony of
Thomas L.. Pierce was concluded and he
was excused. Alfred H. Byrd. the pur-
chaser of the Pierce and Clark notes, for
the purchase of the New York and Bos-
ton branches, was also upon the stand
and testified to the sale of the notes. The
monotony of the proceedings was broken
when the name of L. V. Horton, manager
and secretary, in name, at least, Of the
Wooten Office Desk Company, was called
as a witness. His testimony was given
promptly and in a manner TO impress all
his hearers with his entire impartiality.
He testified to the purchase Of the Rich
mond branch by the cabinet company. and
that the patents under which the Wooten
desk was manufactured had been pur-
chased by the cabinet company for less
than 800, and were Immediately entered
upon the books of the new company there
after incorporated at over $4,000. He testi-
fed that prior to the sale of the business
to the cabinet company 1t had so deteriorated
as to have become almost exclusively with
the consumer. After the sale, although the
cabinet company was unable 10 make the
desks fast enough to fill the orders re-
ceived, the bushes was conducted at a
loss. Mr.. Horton said this was due to the
fact that the cabinet company incurred
large expenses in getting the goods again
In favor with the trade. Early In the after
noon Louis j. Robinson was recalled for re-
was upon the stand at the hour of adjourn
ment.

A mar from St. Paul. Mimi. is in Jail
In Chicago for trying to pay his board IN
poetry at the rate of 800 per poem. The st.
Paul man was altogether too precipitate. He
should have secured a position on Q Chicago
paper to begin with. This step having been
taken, he should have devoted his time to
hunting UP good stories in the exchanges.
and rewriting the same, with various emil
nent Chicagoans, such as Phil Armour, DR..
Gunsaulus, George NJ. Pullman, ct AL, as
the central characters. In this way he
might have achieved a reputation that
would have made his stuff salable. What
one man has done another may do.

The result of the second trial of Parker
and McAfee shows the weak feature of the
statute in this State which confers upon a
jury the power to fix sentences. The twelve
jurors were convinced by the testimony
hat the accused were guilty of murder
in the first degree. When it came to the
question of sentence eleven believed that it
should be hanging, while one insisted that
1t should be Imprisonment for life. The one
would not submit, and would have hung the
jury when convinced Of the guilt Of the
accused rather than make death the pen
atty Of a most atrocious crime. Eleven
men. to prevent a mistrial. were compelled
to yield to one. If the jury is to fix the
sentence. in order to relieve the Judge of a
responsibility imposed in many States. a
two-thirds vote, after a unanimous vote
of guilty. should fix the sentence.

The suggestion that the Mayor remove a
member of the local Board of Health be-
cause he no longer represents a certain
medical college is absurd. If the member
was good enough to have been appointed
originally he is good enough TO be continued
in the position unless there are more potent
reasons for his removal than that he has
severed his connection with a college. II
Mayor Denny desires to reconstruct his
board he should assign valid reasons for
il. If the board is Objectionable to him be-
cause of its acts he will be justified in
changing its personnel, but medical college
q~uarrels ought not to be the controlling in
fuences in debating the changes.

DePauw GIee Club Concert.

There was a very small attendance at the
concert given yesterday at English's Opera
House by the DePauw University Glee Club,
something less than fifty persons. The con-
cert merited more auditors, but there were
too many other attractions, especially TO
college students. Large numbers of the
latter went to the baseball game. The
Glee Club has thirty members and they sing
together very well. The soloists were all
pleasing. Mr.. Paul Gilbert's voice is sweet
and his enunciation is distinct. Mr.. Burlin-
game, Mr.. Starr, Mr.. John Walker and Mr..
Paris were the other soloists and Mr.. Walter
Howe Jones, who Is the director of the
club, is one of the leading instructors at
DePauw and a pianist Of considerable abil-
ity. Mr.. Jones played a solo. The con-
certed numbers were of the usual class of
college songs. In the quartet Last
