ROTHERY MAY BE RELEASED.

surprise In the court room to-day when
Solicitor Charlie Hill asked for an order

Freeman Jewelry Company OF diamonds
Of the value Of about 5000. The theft was
committed last summer, the gems being
taken boldly I'm broad daylight. White,
the accused, and another man were look
ing over the stock ostensibly for the pur-
pose OF making purchase. The sup
posed customers, from their address and
manners, had the appearance OF beng
perfectly able TO wear diamonds, and were
not suspected until after the diamonds
were found to be missing.
Rothery was placed under arrest at the
union depot. When taken to the police
station he was placed in a private room
under guard OF a special officer, being
apparently too nice to lock up in a cell.

been devoted by trying to get him out Of
the scrape, and the motion TO noll pross
the case made by the solicitor shows that
she has about succeeded, although 1t is
not known whether the loss to the Free
man company has been made good or
whether the prosecution has been con-
Nlnced that they have no case against
him. In court Mr. Freeman stated that

special interest. On February 20,
1874, speaking in the Senate on the
currency question, he said: 81

per money not redeemable in gold.
By this process we shall come to the
specie basis, and when the laboring
man receives a dollar it will have the
purchasing power of a dollar, and he
will not be called upon to do what is
impossible for him or the producing
classes to do, figure upon the ex.
changes, figure opon the fuuctua.

New York but he will know what
his money is worth Gold is the
universal standard of the world.
Everybody knows what a dollar in
gold is worth" But things are diff.

when the workiDgman gets his
dollar he knows that it is worth one

can take that dollar across the bor.

man in Mexico who receives his dol.
lar can get for it only between fifty
and sixty cents, and yet they tell us
that this deprecated dollar is the

LIGHTS In THE PARKS.
Mr.. Redington Scores Another FONT
in the Electric Light Case.

Mr.. Redington was unable tn conclude
his argument yesterday for the United
States Electric Lighting Company ana
will be a!low wed ten minutes more tomorrow
morning His continuation yesterday alter
noon was supplemented by the use OF
large map which lay in front of Judge
Cole.
ON this map Mr.. Redington traced the
lines of electric lighting under the United
States Company, and emphasized his first
assertion that the Potomac Company mad
no service east Of Rock Greek. The court
was informed that the United States Conf
pany bounds Lafayette Square on all four
sides.
IF Congress contemplated giving the
lighting of that park to any company,
said the attorney, "wonld IL contract with
company a mile away or with the one
running all around? ] mean under the
clause used in the act authorizing the
electric lighting of certain streets and
the necessary extension of such service.
By such service Congress contemplated the
United States companys service, which
extended around Lafayette Park, and
which is on three sides of Judiciary Square
and nearly reaches Lincoln Park"
AR. Reddington will conclude tomorrow
and Mr.. Worthington will answer FOR the
District Commissioners.
