THE TESTIMONY on BOTH SIDES.
| The plaintiff is endeavoring to show that
it was for entirely another cause than
that stated by the press that Mr.. Ander-
| son left the service of the
/ road, namely, a mistake which
grew out of his knowledge of the
! WilkinsOn-M cNeely affair The defense,
on the other hand, has entered plea of
Justification and has endeavored 10 show
that the statement published was OBJ
| tanned from source that could not be
considered otherwise than authoritative
1t is also stated that while Mr.. Anderson
claimed he was working for salary of
$50 month Tor the South Bound rail
road, he had never demanded pay for the
eleven months revious to this of Deem

according to an agreement, and not as a
regular salary.

of Justification, Maj. =. w. Meldrim, for

possible for him to do justice to his case
IN less than four hours. AS Maj. Mel
drim had made arrangements to leave

not the arguments shall be limited to
two hours on a side. Mr.. A G. Wright
is associated with Mr.. Richards in the
case of the plaintiff.
