When ex-State Treasurer Vincent OF
Alabama was a convict at Pratt mines
for the embezzlement of state funds
he pursued the avocation Of . banker

convicts had money when convicted.

and other employees of the prison. The

of the convicts, while it prevented

among the convicts in previous years.

messengers awaited her in the long,
unlofty room. separated only by fold

tied by the duchess of Kent and her
daughter. The young girl entered
alone, in her nightdress. with some
loose wrap thrown about her. The
moment she was addressed as Your

mating that the lords who addressed
her were to kiss it and thereby do
homage. Her schooling and her in

HATCH WASN'T THERE
Valuable Testimony Given in
His Favor.
Mrs. Agnes Fisk Saw the Carriage
With Three Strange Men
in 1t.

WOODLAND. Nov. 2S.-The Hatch trial
was adjourned at 1 O'Clock to-day to Fri
day at 10 A. NJ
Proceedings were opened this morning
by putting Track Foreman O'Connor,
Sheriff Wyckoff aud Constable Spinks on
the stand to prove that Leyden is not in
the State.
Conductor Hill and Brakeman Teeples
were recalled and testified that batch sat
on the middle seat of the carriage while it
was standing at the caboose.
General Hart made lengthy statement.
and promised to prove that it is not true
that there were four men and boy n the
wagon when it left the caboose, but that
on the contrary when the wagon left it
carried Appleman. Worden and Johnnie
Sherburn, and that Hatch was not in the
wagon at that time or any other time dur.
ing the day.
'ThiS is a case of mistaken Identity"
said General Hart, ''or desperate effort
to convict a man for the purpose of ter
rorizing employees"
Benjamin, lineman for the Postal Tel
egraph Company, was the first witness for
the defense. He testified Jh at he cut the
tops Of two trees near the switch Of the
spur in October and November. He
trimmed the trees because the branches in
terfered with the telegraph lines. The
witness testimony also tended to show
that the tlatcar was not In the same posi-
ton last Sunday, when the experiments
were made for the prosecution, as the
cabOose was represented to be on the 18th
Of July.
Mrs. Agnes Fisk of Broderick was the
next witness. Witness was at the resi-
dence of her mother, on Fifth street in
Broderick. on the 11th of July from to
II :20A. NJ. She then went home. On tile
way she met carriage on the Woodland
road. 1t was three-seated carriage. Two
men sat on the front seat, one on the mid
die seat, aud the third seat was vacant
All. of the men were strangers. Melvin
Hatch was not one of them. His reputa-
ton for peace and quiet has always been
good. On cross-examination the witness
named her father, Mr.. Patterson and Mr.
Parker as persons who mad said the de-
PENDANT was peaceful and quiet.
"Have you ever heard his wife's father
express an opinion as to his character q"
asked Mr.. Cook.
NO" replied the witness.
"Did you ever hear that he had as
saulted his father-in-law? Queried Mr..
Cook.
Mr.. Hart entered vigorous objection,
which was sustained. When witness saw
the carriage it was on one side of the rail.
road and she was on the other. She was
on plank walk, about seven feet below
| The railroad grade. Mr.. Cook left her
where it was apparently impossible for
| her to have seen the carriage. General
| Hart saw the point however. and straight
ened matters out in the redirect examina-
tions by asking. Gould you see over a
railroad seven feet high?"
''No, but l could see under it," re-
sponded the witness.
