NOTHING AGAINST HIM.

One of the Debs Defendants, Moses Av-
ener, Observation-Disclosures Introduced.
CHICAGO, Feb. a At Thursday
mornings session of the Debs trial
Judge Grosscup ordered the dis
missal of the case against Moses
Avener, one of the defendants,
against whom nothing whatever
has been proved. General Superin-
tendent Dunlap, of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific road, was the first wit
ness. He told of violence on that
road during the strike, but the
greater part of the session was
taken up in legal argument
on the question as to whether expert
testimony was admissible to show that
strikes werealways accompanied by vio-
lence. The court held against such
evidence, leaving the matter to
the knowledge and discernment of the
jury.

America can, as a majority, be stamped AZ

worth to spend the accumulated wealth.
Travelling for pleasure and Sightseeing

by the chorus, which was finely rendered,
every word being distinct, and articulation
good, this being characteristic Of the en-
tire work. The poorest rendition of the
whole oratorio was that of the Hallelujah
chorus, where the singers were about one
beat away from the conductor all the time,
and even the parts were not together.
The orchestra deserves credit for at
tempting such a work as this, and under
the circumstances did fairly good work.
Of the soloists there really was but one
deserving of special mention, Madame
Martinez, though Mrs. Llewellyn did very
good work in HE Was Despised."
Madame Martinez showed herself
a thorough artist, although her voice shows
wear and at times little harsh; neverthe-
less she shows study and intelligence,
which made it plain that she was truly
an artist. Her best work was done in
Come Unto Me.
Mrs. Llewellyn has a fair voice. with
some cul ivatiop, but not enough finish.
She sang He Was Despised very effect
lively and with much feeling. MIR. Werner
took the tenor part and Mr.. Huebner the
bass.
May we sustain choral society in Los
Angeles that will bring out such works as
this every year, and thereby help to edu-

city.

dena the 9th, with the same chorus and
orchestra. but different soloists, under
the direction of J. Stuart Taylor.
