The managers of the Consumers Gas
Trust are not making a favorable impress
sion upon the joint committee which is
listening to their presentation. This was
evident in the irritable manner of Mr..
Frenzel. Since he told the city, through
this committee, that it was wasting one
third of it's food by overlooking, and that
the remedy was the gas meter, Mr.. Fren-
Eel seems to have lost that vivacity which
so BELTS him. He shows that his
cause is lost; but, really. the Trust people
asked too much in demanding that their
patrons be compelled to purchase meters by
which the receipts of the Trust would be
increased by selling less gas for more mon
ey. Let the managers be modest and sim
ply demand bonus of SO for each con-
sumner when he comes to make his next
contract.

Mr.. and Mrs. JEFF Martin, who live on
Cat creek, in this county, have bright
little boy, 2 years old, who, while un-
dressed for bath, desired his mother to
allow him to run and play. He was sent
into q carpeted room whero the curtains
were drawn, and after q few minutes, with
an exclamation Of surprise and delight,
the little fellow came into the hall holding
in his hands huge copperhead snake. He
had grasped 1t near the tail, and the rep
tile was writhing and twisting, its head
nearly reaching the floor and moving about
the feet Of the child.
Mr.. Martin, who had just entered the
house, was horror stricken for moment.
He called loudly to the child to drop it.
The little fellow obeyed, and ran fright.
ened to his fathers arms. The reptile i'm.
mediately pursued the child and endeav-
ored to strike him, coiling and darting its

manner.

time than it takes to tell 1t, to the great
distress of the little boy, who seemed to
think he had found beautiful plaything
and was being deprived of it, and was in.

deepsin tone and SO far down his thfoar as
to be truly gutteral. and yet his ennnc1atlon
was remarkably distinct and correct. ltIhe'
had been accustomed to address the pu4lie
habitually, like any clergyman or punNc
speaker he could not have expressed hin-
self with better elocution as far as dlstlnft-
ness and expression went and the purity fof
his language was very remarkable for a
man in his position in life. Instead of a
runaway orphan, deserter from the navy.
a sailor and farm hand, he might have been
an educated professional man as far as the
purity of his language was concerned. ut
was very rare that he was grammatically
incorrect, or there was illeterate pronounbi-
alton of words. Possibly his having learned
foreign languages may partially account
for this, but he certainly has a wonderful
command of language for man in his
position.
His use of this command of language i'd
different thing and therein he seemed more
natural. for he would use big words, at
times when, though expressive, they were
unwarranted and unusual and not in good
taste.
He sat there in his seat, with his head
against thu rail of the witness stand, with
his face much thinner and paler than at the
time of the murder, and with haggard
expression about the mouth and jaws. Iet
there was no faltering in his manner even
when called upon to withstand the attorney
generals sarcasm. As to his answers to
those questions, he reader must judge for
himself.
Lewis is certainly an enigma. He doesn't
know the place OF his birth, says nothing of
his father, was boarded out when a small
boy by his mother. whom he scarcely ever
saw, apparently, and since her death, when
he was a young boy. has led rowing life.
He says that he has always studied when
ever he could get a chance, and undoubted-
ly has done so. and has acquired an extern
sive smattering of information thereby. and
developed his natural capacity for express
ing himself in we'll chosen language.
He is evidently q very determined little
man and has undergone the terrible ordeal
upon the witness stand with much frmneiss.

and paid particular attention to it. His
recollection of it agreed with that testi-
fed by the uncle, except that the VIII
ness did not think tnat Graham sald
that Lewis told him that ne came in the
window, but in the door, or that he sald
anything about getting the money.
Cross-exam1ned: THAT was the first
time that witness heard Graffam's story
about Lewis. Witness did not know
whether Mr.. Daniel GRAHAM had had
conversation with his nephew since
then. He thought he had seen the pn-
Gle at the Jail. He recolleced that Mr..
Daniel GRAHAM requested to see him and
positively that Daniel GRAHAM had
talked with his nephew or not since the
conversation at Gorham.
. Direct resumed: He thought the bag
gage check was handed to Mr.. Chute
with the other articles.
Cross resumed: 1t was his impression
that it was handed to Mr.. Chute. He
examined the check and held 1t IN his
hand.
DEPUTY SHERIFF CHUTE AGAIN.
MIR. Chute said that the baggage check
was delivered to him. All the articles
were handed to him together. He bad
it in his possession, and produced it
an ordinary round brass check. He did
not produce it with the other articles,
because he was going to the boat to get
the baggage, but later GRAHAM told him
not to get the baggage, and he forgot
about the check.
Cross resumed: Witness identified it
as the check taken from GRAHAM by the
mum Der.
What is the number, Mr.. Chute?"
Gone hundred and twenty-slx, l
thinG.n
The defence madeuo objection to the
check being offered in evidence.
Direct resumed: Witness was present
when the conversation between Graham
and his uncle took place. GRAHAM sdid
that Lewis said that he went into the
barn door. He did not state chat Lewis
said he went into the tle-up window or
that he had got the money.
Cross resumed: Witness heard Graham
tell his uncle that he had told the ofic-
ers all he knew. Mr. Plummer did not
go out of the room at any time, but the
witness did for a moment. That was
the first time witness had heard the
story from GRAHAM.

cles that were taken from GRAHAM" n

81 had them there, but did not produce
them because I wasn't asked to-"
why didn't you produce the check!

Witness had made no inquiries at 1ne
boat, and did not know what that check
represents except as he had been told
by GRAHAM.
