The MINT I'M ESTIGATION.
hEMEY'S IDENTITY FULLY ES
TABLISHEC.
The Case over on Motion of the
Defense Until May 10Th

Yesterdays session Of the Mint in
vestigation was very short, not oc-
cupying much over half an hour.
There having been some doubt
raised as to the identity OF Honey, G.
t. Bender of the Reno Bank testified
that Heney cashed five checks at the
Bank. given in payment for bullion
and these checks and the photograph
of his signature were in evidence,
Mr.. Hofer then testified that the
signatures to the checks We're those OF
James Heney and correspondent to his
signature on the pay rolls OF the Car
son Mint books. The defense then
asked for a continuance of the case
until May 10th. Mr.. Jones on behalf
of the Government objected to. the
continuance, as he wished to introduce
more testimony After some argu-
meut the continuance was granted.

RECKLESS CONTEMPORARIES
How They PeddIe out Miscel-
laneous Misinformation to the
Public.

Mr.. Hofer testified that his deposit
in the Bullion and Exchange Bank,
some time before this, was about $2l'-
600. consisting Of Wells Fargo checks,
money and stocks News.
Mr.. Hofer testified to nothing OF the
kind. What he did testify to will be
found in Yesterdays APPEAL, and that
is tothe effect that Jones had $500
in money and geo shares Of Con- Viz
GINA to his credit when his account
was taken up by The bank, His en-
tire transactions amounted to about
$4,000
The News fell into the error Of copy
ing its Court reports from the Irl-
bune, and was thus misled. Be
cause, as the Enterprise alleges, 1t
cannot get the truth from the Carson
rapers. has sent a special reporter
here at great expense and incog.
A specimen of his work appears in
Yesterdays Enterprise, when he says
that Beck swore he treated $4,000
worth of bullion. from Heney. Beck
,wore to S23. 900 and has always stuck
to it What Beck would swear TO APP
reared in the APPEAL about ten days
ago and the amount was correct.
Again the Tribune a few days ago
mentioned the shortage as having
reached $780,. 900 and the Associated
Press reporter relying on this mis-
statement. wired it to San Francisco,
and the Examiner and Chronicle tele-
graphic agents did the same. Such
report is substantiated by no testl-
mony so far introduced and thus the
reckless reporters of our State and
Bav contemporaries have made dis
coveries which Inspector Mason knows
n othing of.
While our contemporaries are pub
fishing daily, miscellaneous assert
meut Of misinformation regarding
the testimony, they join in chorus
against the APPEAL and charge with
manufacturing the testimony NJ.
Mason the principle witness for the
Government says that the APPEAL 5
report of his testimony was correct.
Mr. Hofer the ex-Superintendent says
the same Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Har-
ris also fall in line and so does De
tective Gallaher.
If the public will save the files OF
the Nevada papers and compare the
reports Of the present hearing with
the public trial, they will soon be able
to find who has reported the examina-
ton nearest the correct ma. k.

L. Burk was arrested yesterday on
the charge of peddling without a Ii.
cense. He was selling cigars from
samples. He was in hurry and
made no defense. Hawthorne fined
him the amount Of the license and

There is no law by which a dram
mer selling by sample can be made to

Beck denies that Heney sold him
amalgam as the Tribune stated. and

Harris and the Shortage.

The defense is now trying 70 slide
the shortage onto Harris, the present
Meter and Refiner
In other words they want the pub
lie to understand that Harris after
stealing $4,000 reported the same to
Superintendent Adams, and demanded
an investigation Looks plausiable
don't it?
Some months ago George Brown OF
this city died, and a few days after
the funeral Mr.. Harris called on
Browns daughter and paid her $500
he had borrowed from Brown.
The lady was quite surprised, She
knew of 10 such loan. No one knew
it but Harris. He borrowed the
money on his word and gave no note.
Brown was dead, the only man who
knew of the obligation was Harris
and he came forward and paid 1t.
Is this the sort of man who steals
bullion from Uncle Sam.

A MAMMoru WALNUr TREE.-NIr.

A MAMMOTH WALNUT IREE.-Mr.
]. B. Merchant has sold the big walnut
tree on his farm III Surratl5 District
for 800. For years lumbermen have
tried to buy the tree from Mr.. Mer-
chant. but he would not think of part
ing with it, A few years ago lightning
struck the tree and it begin to die, first
in the branches, the signs of its decay
gradually spreading over the whole
tree, and the roots on one side were
entirely rotted. AS it stood close 10
the house it was clear that unless care
was taken it might some day fall and
cause damage, perhaps loss of life.
Among those who had tried to buy the
tree was E. Z. McCliutock, of Lincolnia,
Fairfax county, Va, who had his eyes
on the old monarch long while. He
finally induced Mr.. Merchant TO take
800 for his tree, and in March Mr.. Nc
Clintock began to take it out. The
tree was grubbed up by the roots,
these, nowadays, with the stump, be-
ing quite as valuable as any part of
the tree Il took twenty-iour days to
dig the old fellow out. II fell away
from the house, breaking but lit
tie in the fall. Seven huge logs
were sawed from the giant trunk.
The butt log was seven feet in d.
ameter. One seven foot log. was forty
two inches through; another ten foot
log was twenty two inches in diametei;
one twelve.foot log was thirty inches
in diameter; another twelve-foot log was
thirty inches through; an eight foot log
was fortyfour inches in diameter. The
whole tree, says Mr.. McClintock, will
make 5000 feet board measure. Work
ed up by shaving machines into veneer,
the waste is reduced to minimum, and
every bit of the tree is made to connt.
Mr.. McClintock has engaged an express
company to haul the immense logs in
to town and they will be unloaded at
the Baltimore and Ohio steam launches
dock. Photographs will be taken Of
the butt log, when it is brought to the
city. Mr. McClintock makes q pretty
snug profit from the tree, as the walnut
is better than expected, proving to be
curly walnut ali through. He has sold
the walnut at 5000 thousand feet, and
]. w. Van Horne, at 10th and G streets,
export shipper OF walnut and other
lumber, will take charge of sending the
logs to New York, where they will be
shaved and probably exported.
The tree was one hundred and eighty
years old, according to the count OF the
rings in the butt log.
There is no telling what has happen
ed beneath its giant branches. All the
children in the neishborhood for many
generations back have played beneath
the shade Of the old tree. and not few
young people have done their counting
with its benign protection and conniv-
ance.
Mr.. Merchant writing to us about
the big tree, under date of April goth,
says: "At present writing after work
ing three days with large force of men
and - horses they have got the butt
log about one mile. They find that
they are perfectly unable to do any
thing with it and men are at work to-
day saving it in two parts. As it was
at first loaded the Anacostia bridge
would not hold it and they were TAX
ing it by the pike and across the new
bridge at Twining City.-Malboro,
