finally wrote his name on piece of

also wrote the names of George R. King
and Professor Shernstern, which were on
the newspaper in which the rings of
Blanche Lamont were enclosed. It was
evident from this that the defense are
trying to connect DIR. Gibson with the
Lamont tragedy. The witness identified
the chisel and hammer introduced by
defense as his property. He testified
that they were kept in drawer in his
study. On being questioned as to his
connection with st. Andrews Baptist
church, Scotland, the witness stated
that he could not remem ber the name of
the street upon which it was situated,
although he had lived there three years.
He was asked to give the location IN

now stated it was unlocked.
W. G. McElroy, another new witness.
testified that he saw a man meet a
woman at $50 Friday evening, at the
corner of Bartlett and Twenty-third

man threw his shoulder around in such
a way as to screen the woman from Nc
Elroy's view. The man also partially
turned around and looked at witness.
The couple stopped at the gate leading
to the side entrance. Durrant seemed
to be little shorter than the man he
saw. Witness afterwards passed through
passage to lot in the rear of Bartlett
street to meet friend, Bert Minna, and
while waiting there he saw light in the
rear of the church, moving around, as if
from a candle or lantern. When his
friend joined him he pointed the light
out to him.
Bert Minna, McElroy's friend, next
testified and corroborated McElroy's
statement as to the light. The time
they saw the light was about 9 40, the
train due at that time having passed

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 25.-A ter
rife hail storm which swept through
Wilson, Bexar and Medina counties last
night, did 500, 900 damage. Hail stones
as large as goose eggs covered the ground
to the depth of two feet. Lyttle, BEN
ton City and Castroville were devastated,
the houses being riddled like sleeves.
The damage to residences and business
houses in Lyttle alone amounts to $780,
600. A hundred head of live stock were
killed. The track of the International
& Great Northern railroad was blockaded
with hail stones which had to be re-
moved before the trains could proceed.
Cotton and corn crops in the path of the
storm were completely destroyed.
A subscription was started here today
for the relief of the sufferers.
