Argument on Each OF Thirty-seven As
signments of Error.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 2O.-Attorneys Erwin
and Schumacher, for Harry Hayward,
have furnished to the supreme court
appellants brief" 1t is printed book
Of 81 pages. There are 81 assignments
of error, and then follows argument on
each alleged error, with copious refer
ences to authorities and decisions
Counselor Erwin's peculiar bent of
mind dominates the argument all
through. 1t is not verbose on any point,
and yet every point is seemingly well
covered. Special stress is, Of course,
laid on the allegation Of Adry Hay
wards insanity and ON the exclusion Of
the testimony of his father and mother
to prove insanity had existed among an
cestors. Blixt's testimony is also called
in question, and allusion is made to the
prejudicial effect Of improper corrobora-
tive testimony that as alleged, defend
was not allowed to refute.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 2O.-The pros

plete its direct evidence early next week.
Organist George King was put upon
the stand to prove that he saw the pris-

almost an hour after Durrant was said
by Mrs. Leake to have \entered the
church. King proved an unwilling wit

A Georgia contemporary of the free
coinage persuasion says it is tired of hear
ing of the increase of the wages of the
workingmen of the north as an argument
against the free coinage agitation, and
that it wants to hear of something that
will increase the supply of money in the
south. That is not only selfish view of
the situation, but is a very short-sighted
view. Does not our contemporary know
that Georgia is at this moment harvest
ing peaches to be shipped to northern
markets. and that in a few days she win
begin sending melons to the north, and
will send millions of them before she
stops? Does not our contemporary know
that the increase of the wages of the
workingmen of the north will expand the
market for peaches and watermeIons?
And does it not know that as the demand
is expanded the prices Will also expand?
1t is just as natural as nature itself that
the work.ngman who has had his wages
increased 10 or 10 per cent. should cele-
brate returning prosperity with a water
melon feast, with the result that part
of his increase in wages will indirectly
find its way into the pocket of the melon
grower in Georgia. The country that has
something to sell should always rejoice
al the good fortune of its best customers.
And besides, the immediate effect of free
silver coinage would be TO contract the vol
