lists OfficerJamesLawSw was the first witness,
and he repeated tho incidents Of the ap-
proach Of the procession and the breaking
into the Capitol grounds by Brown and
Coxey. The officers said they climbed oyer
a wen at point about seventy-ive feet
east of New Jersey avenue. AT this point
Mr.. Lipscombs, for the defence, ssid that
the case was practically one of criminal tres
pass and he insisted on the prose-
cution showing precisely what ter
ritory is Capitol ground. A map
was introduced, but counsel preferred
tile matter being proved In legal manner
Judge Miller ruled that the map was the
best evidence Witness continuing, admit
ted that the map was not accurate and that
he did not know the bounds of the grounds.
Judge Miller said that the boundaries
could be proved by common knowledge of
persons acquainted with them. 1t is not
necessary TO prove ownership BY record.
The motion by the defence to dismiss the
case against the Coxeyites on the ground Of
lack Of evidence was denied Court adj
journed until Monday.

sALVATIoNIsTs SEARCHED.
Say They Were OuerageousEy Treated
AT tho County Jail,

The members Of the Salvation Army, es-
pecially those of Corps No. Q, are loud In
complaint OF the action of Jailor Davis and
the matron at the County Jail in what they
contend was an uncslied for dignity. The
lailor some time ago granted
visit the Jail once month
to pray with the prisoners. Last Wednesday
three ladies and one gentleman of the
Asmy made their usual cali They we're
intercepted in the hallway by the matron,
who insisted on searching them there and
then. They at first objected, but submitted
when they saw their protests would not be
considered They were only allowed to talk
to the prisoners through the iron bars The
Salvation Army soldiers say thsy were thus
annoyed in order to drive them from the
JAIL
Lawyer Ferris, of the Salvation Army,
thus speaks of the outrage:-
'Some little time ago Mr.. Davis, as
head Of the Hudson County Jail,
was approached by few Chris
tian workers for permissien to hold
services among the prisoners, a I'd by q per-
sonai dealing try and aid them to commence
and lead Cody lives. He very condescend-
ingl, permitted them to have for this good
work one hour in every seven hundred and
twenty. Yesterday Capt 30 Of Salvation
Army Corps, No: 3, o. Bea gen 9venue, a G
cornpanied by few Christian ladies known

jail to take advantage Of Mr.. Davis,
great condescsnsion 70 their aston
islsment before they were permitted
to cntcr they were subjected to tRe 8rcssess
indignities evidently for the edifcaHon Of 9
few men loiterere in the Office, and Captain
Bowen especially, Whose self-sacrificing
spirSyfor others since she has been on the hill
speakA louder than words was SO rudely
and Kdecently handled that the gentlemen
turned their backs, and one of the
employees in apologizing afterwards,
stated he was not to blame as
those were the special orders
from Mr.. Davis himself. Comment is
unnecessary, as words are not strong
enough to express indignation for
the outrage, only too much
haste cannot fail to be urged for the
passage Of the bill that will take the Jail
from the hands of those who have disgraced
their authority and placing it in the hands
Of our gentle1nanly Sheriff. ?

When someone picked up the book after It

was surprised to find that, although the
book had a carefully worded cover, the in
side pages were blank.

The Man Who Shaves Gov

Young Society Blood.
ACCEPTED THREE WORTHLESS CHECKS
But Stuart Does Not Believe
George Fuller Gave Them to
Him With Criminal
Intent.

Mr. Walter Stuart who claims the dis
tinction of shaving all the important per
sonages of Jersey City, Governor Werts
being one of his best customers, is anxious to
interview George Fuller, young man well
known in the Hill section, who resided al
No. 922 Astor place, but who now lives N
East Orange. Fuller was at one time one Of
Stuart's best customers He shaved almost
every day and always insisted on having his
mustache waxed and curied, in the latest
style for it seems there is style even in tbs
waxing of mustache). He always paid
his bills promptly,s SOL that whex
about month ago he gave
Stuart check for four dollars
drawn on the First National Bank of New
York, the latter accepted it ip good faith.
Shortly afterwards he gave the barber an
other check for six dollars. To the great

PROMISED TO MAKE GOOD
He spoke to Fuller about it, who apollo
gized, said there must be some mistake and
promised he would make it all right in
about a week. The barber consented to
wait the week, and waited three when young
Fuller brought in q check for twenty-five
dollars, signed by his brother Eugene.
who works in bEe Equitable
Building, New York; Stuart told
him to get it cashed somewhere else and pay
him the $40, and Fuller said he would. He
returned that evening, however, and said
that he had been busy moving and had not
had time to get the check cashed. Stuart
thought it was all right, as Eugene WORKED
in q banking ofice, and gave George the S15
difference and the two worthless checks.
Stuart paid his cigar bill with the last
check next day, but when the firm sent it
back to him as worthless few days later,
he wasn't happy, as Fuller and his older,
brother, j. f. Fuller, had moved to East
Orange the day before. The barber has en-.
deavored TO find George, as he does not be-
lieve he passed the checks with fraudulent
intent, but so far has not been able to see
him Young Fuller may have thought his
brothers check to be all right, as Eugene had
bank account at one time
