standing which resulted in breaking of the
friendship between the judge and Maj.
Throckmorton's mother. 1t seems that
somebody had told the Judge that Mrs.
Throckmorton had said that somebody else
had said that Mrs. Somebody Else had said
that Miss Hynes had read aloud to her
portions Of letter from the Judge to Miss
dearment and incidentally that she had re-
ferred to him as an old fool.
Present of Bonds.
Miss Hynes said that in 1884. when Judge
Holt gave her the bonds, he said that he
did so simply because he sometimes forgot
to send her monthly remittances, and did
not want her to be put to any inconven-
fence. He said that he did not want her to
consider it as a closing up of the account,
but that he would continue to provide for
her regularly as before. She was never
dependent upon the interest Of the bonds.
and he often told her that he had amply
provided for her in addition to that &c.,
coo. She once asked him what his relatives
would think Of his generosity, to which he
replied that 1t was none of their business.
as he had made his own money without
their assistance, and intended to dispose of
1t as he saw fit. The last time she saw him
was in 1891, in this city. He told her then
that he had always tried to take good care
Of her. and wanted her to know that she
would be able to live equally we'll all her
life.
when we separated at the end of that
visit said Miss Hynes. The said to me,
Lizzie. may God be with you tin we meet
again That was the last ever saw Of
the truest and best friend I ever had On
this earth. a friend from my earliest
YOUTH
Mr.. Darlington then read to the jury a
letter to her from Judge Holt, dated Feb
ruary "a. 1885. and beginning. MY precious
cousin" In it he said that she could not
rejoice in her independence any more than
he did, for nothing would make him more
wretched than to feel that she might some
day be left to the tender mercies Of the
world. She was safe then, he said, but she
would be even safer in due time
On cross-examination Miss Hynes said
that when Judge Holt died and no will was
found she thought it was very strange.
Her recollection was that she did not turn
over her letters from Judge Holt to Mr..
McCord. the Kentucky lawyer who is as
ISOLATED with the attorneys for the cav
eatees, until after the will turned up She
denied that she ever spoke to anyone about
making terms In case a will was found.
An Account Book.
Miss Hynes said that as a rule Judge
Holt sent her $50 a month, sometimes
more.

years after 1854. when he gave you the
bonds. he sent you money only once?"
1T Is not He continued to send me
money as before.'
Miss Hynes was unable to say definitely
whether the money came in the form Of
checks or drafts on New York, drawn by
Riggs & Co.
Mr.. Worthington then handed the little
account book to Miss Hynes and she iden-
it was a record Of the daily expenditures
Of Judge Holt. down to the nickels that
he spent for car fare. The lawyer fire.

''Or that he gave you any more until the

The Money Orders.
Again the Witness recollection on this
point was little vague. She was then ex-
crsed from the stand to allow the cav
Gators to cell a clerk from the money Or
der bureau Of the post office. A man who
was postmaster Of Lebanon, KY, from
April, 1890, down to August, 1894, testified
in this case. some days ago, that during
his term OF office q money order for $50
