Then Mr.. Dickinson asked to be sworn
as a witness. He had a package in his
hand when he assumed the chair beside
Judge Murphy, and when he opened that
package the mystery OF tie second strap
was explained.
Early in the trial when Maud Lamont
was on the stand Mr.. Dickinson handed
her strap that looked exactly like the
one found around Blanche's books in the
belfry of Emmanuel Church. Maud was
led to say that looked like Blanche's strap
which indeed it did
Now comes Mr.. Dickinson and testifies
that this second strap was sent to his
office through the mail on the Goth of July
last.
Mr.. Barnes cross-examined the witness,
asking if he had ever seen any person
concerning the strap or ever learned who
sent it, or anything about it.
Mr.. Dickinson answered all these ques-
tons in the negative, and then Mr.. Barnes
objected to the introduction of The strap

prey, the leading counsel for the defense
Mr.. Deuprey is still unable to appear in
court, but Attorney Dickinson said he ex-
pected him out in day or two.
Witness Lehman was recalled for further ex-
animation. He said he had afterward ascer-
tanned that il was on April 13 that he went to
Oppenheim's shop and in the afternoon.
Robert NJ. Lynch, private secretary of Pastor
Gibson, testified, chiefly, that he did not give
Miss Cunningham the Mrs Leak story.
Mr.. Dickinson offered a strap similar to the
one on Blanche Lamont's books, and Judge
Murphy took the question of its admission
under AMUSEMENT
DR.. John George Mcdonald was called as q
medical expert, and Witness Phillips was re-
called 10 be further questioned about the char

The deposition of the man Clark, who saw
girl that looked like Blanche Lamont on day
on the streetcar, was read. The trial goes on
this morning.

as evidence. claiming that it had not been
properly identified.
Mr.. Dickinson came down from the
stand and argued that the strap had bee n
sufficiently identified by Maud Lamont
upon her cross-examination.
Barnes then read the testimony of Maud
Lamont in regard to the strap. She had
said that she could not tell whether or not
she had ever seen the strap. Barnes
thought this was not sufficient basis to
admit the strap which Dickinson offered
Dickinson insisted that it was, and the
court took the matter under advisement
until after the noon recess.

pos itlon OF Charles Fl. Clark, which was
taken in Boston. Clark was a CONNER

could not swear that he had seen Blanche
Lamont. although the pictures he had
seen Of her seemed familiar. He had seen
such person on Powell-street car some
time IN the early part of April or the latter
part OF March, but he did not know ex-
actly. He could not describe the girl ac-
curately, except that she was rather pretty

is no objection shall postpone a ruling on the
question until tomorrow morning"
Mr.. Dickinson said that he had no objec-
ton and this ended the matter for the day.
DIR. George Charles Mcdonald, a gradu-
ate OF several British medical and surgical
institutions, was sworn for the defense.
Then followed numerous questions as to
what effect advanced years would have
upon the eye and the vision, the nervous
system and the mind generally. The wit
ness stated that persons having in youth a
normal eye generally commenced to wear
glasses at about 40 years of age, and that
the glasses are generally made stronger

Barnes then cross-examined. He asked
first as to the effects of the various constit-
uent parts of bromo-seltzer If taken alone,
and then If taken in the form of that med
icine. Then he asked about the effects of
inhalation of gas.

Clark said in his deposition that he had
voluntarily gone to Deuprey and had told
MIN What he had seen.
Barnes had sent East 165 cross-interroga-
tlons, and the greater number OF these he
read. They do not make up very good
deposltions in Boston, and as Barnes
looked first at the question among the
PACK pages of his transcript and then
hunted for an answer with correspond

court smiled broadly.

questions.

clark why he did not appear at the

THE MORNING SESSION.
Witness Lenihan Tells How He
Fixed the Date-The Mystery OF
the Second Strap.

INSd the Ddle-lne mystery or
the Second Strap.
When court opened in the morning there
was an empty peg in the row of pegs above
the jury-box. The empty peg should have
contained the hat of Juror Gregoire-and
it did, after half a minute OF waiting,
during which it was observable that Mr.
Deuprey, leading counsel for the defense,
was still absent, his chair at the big table
being occupied by Durrant, and that the
District Attorney himself was still absent.
Presently Mr.. Barnes came in smiling.
Behind him was Juror Gregoire.
"CaQ Witness Lenihan," said Mr. Dick
inson, and the young man, who does not
resemble Durrant in the slightest, came in
and resumed the witness chair.
Mr.. Dickinson wanted to impeach the
witness at once by asking if he had read in
the newspapers the testimony of Open
helm, wherein the pawnbroker described
himself as sitting in the doorway when
Durrant called to pawn the ring.
There was little argument as to whether
Dickinson should be allowed to read Open
helms testimony to his own witne SIS,
Mr.. Barnes claiming such course i'm
proper.
Judge Murphy said the proper founda-
ton must be laid first, and then Dickinson
went back over the questions already asked
and answered.
Whom did you first speak about this matter
to after writing the letters to Mr.. Deuprey and
myself"
''To Mr. Deuprey.''
"How often have you talked to the police?"
''Twice."
"When you saw Mr.. Deuprey did you speak
to him about having shaved?'
"Yes, he asked me as favor to him to let my
mustache grow"
Mr.. Dickinson then inquired as to where
witness works and who gave him the en-
ployment. Lehman said he was shipping
clerk for the American Press Association
and was hired by the manager Mr.. Ben
ton. Mr.. Dunnigan, who is also an Ex-
aminer reporter, was city editor and filed
various other positions with the A. P. A.
Mr.. Barnes began his cross examination.
He showed the witness some rings and
asked him if he had ever seen them before.
He said he had seen one of them.
"Have yen any difficulty in selecting your
ring from among those@"
mo, sir.

Have you an oVercoat, Mr.. Lenihan?" then

that this is incompetent irrelevant and i'm

court, and Lehman put on Durrants over

mitted IN rebuttal before. There was but

Only about half of the ross-interroga-
tories and their answers were read by the
time the noon recess was taken.

Read and Adopted-A Tribute to Treasurer George
 DeWhiting.

Camp Hardee, United Confederate Yet erans, held we'll attended and interesting meeting yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the camp on Second avenue.
 The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted.
 Gen. R. D. Johnston, commander, read letter from Col. L. D. McMeekin tender ing his resignation.
 The resignation was not voted upon. but a motion was made to appoint a committed to investigate certain charges which have been preferred against him before acce pt- ing his resignation.
 Commander Johnston appointed Con- rades Joseph F. Johnston, w. H. Stanley and J. w. Drake as a committee to invcs- tigate the matter and report to the camp at it's next meeting.
 Gen. Fred s. Ferguson, a member of the committee on the death of Col. W. D. Bull ger. read the resolutions drafted, which were afterwards unanimously adopted by the camp.

 Mr. McCliutock stated that the commit tee to look into the question of rates to Houston, Tex, had done but little as yet, but that the railroad people were looking into the matterr and that they would be able to report more fully at the next meet- ing.
 Treasurer George DeWhiting announced to the camp that an aunt of his had re- gently died in England, and her death would necessitate his making trip to that country. In view of this he asked that his resignation as treasurer of the camp be ac. cepted.
 Instead of accepting his resignation the following resolution introduced by General Ferguson was adopted:
 Resolved, That Camp Hardee, United Confederate Veterans, accepts the tempo- rary resignation of Comrade DeWhiting as It's treasurer, with the understanding that he resume his duties on his return; and further,
 Resolved, That the camp bids him God- speed on his journey to his native land 1, and will joyfulIy hail his return to the country for which he fought so gallantly and we'll.
 After the transaction of some minor busi- ness the camp adjourned.

 TIE COMMON COUNCIL Of Brooklyn, in Revoking Railroad
 Franchises, OVERRODE THEIR AUTHORITY And Mayor Schleren Will Veto Their Action-Non-Union
 Men Destitute.
OVERRODE THEIR AUTHORITY

BROOKLYN, N. Y., Feb. 5.-The resolu- ton passed by the board of aldermen yes- terday revoking the licenses and fran chises of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad company and the Atlantic Avenue Rail- road company will reach the mayor in due course of business tomorrow. That he will veto it nobody doubts. He is quoted by his friends as expressing the opinion that the action of the aldermen is illegal.
 President Lewis of the Brooklyn Heights company and s. 8. Whitehouse, his counsel, said this morning that they would pay no attention to the resolution, as it did not affect them in the least.
 Mirabeau L. Towns, counsel for District Assembly No. 75, Knights of Labor, said: "Of course no lawyer will say for minute that the resolution will stand. 1 told the men when they consulted me about 1t that the resolution would be illegal, but they wanted it drawn up in that way, so I drew 1t for them. Of course the common coun- cil las no right to deprive the companies of their franchises, but they can modify It.. They can change the motive power from all the time. They have done it in Phila- dephia three times. But this resolution won' t hold.p
 This is what 8. 8. Whitehouse, counsel for the Brooklyn Heights company, said Ut is impossible for a body like the com mon council to revoke license or fran. chise on which a corporation has spent millions of dollars. That is fundamental law. You will find it in the constitution of the United States that nobody shall be deprived of property without due process of law. And the United States supreme court has decided that due process of law means judicial proceeding according to the common law.'
 The members of District Assembly No. 75 were resting on their oars today. They had apparently exhausted all their ammu- hilton. All last night not an assault on uon-union man nor on a car was reported to police headquarters. No wires were cut. All the cars are running as usual.
 Commissioner Morley, in the United States court, this morning dismissed the complaint against Benjamin Norton of the Atlantic Avenue Railroad company, who was charged with violating the federal laws in allowing signs marked Limited States mailD to be placed on the cars of his com pany that do not at all times carry the mail. No testimony was produced to show that MT. Norton had willfully violated the view of this he could do nothing else but discharge him from custody.
 Forty five non-uufon men called this morning on Mayor Schieren and asked to be sent home. They had come from Chi cago, Pittsburg and other places to get work on the street cars. The railway company, having all the men they wanted, could not give them work. They are hay ing hard time, they say, and have to sleep in empty cars and other places. The men said they asked to be sent home be- cause they did not want to become burden on the country. Mayor Schieren told them that he could do nothing for them.
