CLOSING At WEAYERWLLE
Taking of Evidence Completed
in the Trial of ice
Gregory.
James Simonin Says George White
Offered Him a Horse to Ride to
the Lynching.

WEAVERVILLE, CALL, Sept. 1.-The
counsel for the defense, Oregon Sanders
and Robert r. Fowler, in the trial of Joe
Gregory, accused of completely in the
murder of Jack" Littefield near Round
Valley on September q, 1895, rested its
case at 2:2O O'Clock this afternoon and a
recess until tomorrow morning was
granted to enable counsel to prepare argu-
ments. Throughout the trial Gregory
has displayed an intense interest in the
proceedings, and he has grown thin and
nervous in the past week.
Richard Lightfoot, cousin of Joe Greg
DRY, testified this morning that the mule
ridden by Radcliffe on the 9th had been
shod on the oath of September. When
asked what impressed the fact on his
memory he said that a short time after
Littleield had been killed, and before the
preliminary examination of the accused,
he heard that someb body who was track
ing docking for tracks, about the scene OF
the murder, had said something about
finding the tracks of a bareiooted mule.
when Mrs. Williamson (Gregory's mother)
remarked: "Our mule was shod."
In rebuttal w. +. Whitney, Justice of
the Peace at Covelo, testified Il at Trapper
Fancher's reputation for TRUTH honesty
and integrity was bad. Sylvester Palmer
swore that the distance from the break OF
Jesus Creek TO the Wilburn crossing of
Eel River was about FIVE or six miles, and
that it would taEe man on horseback at
least two hours to travel IL. Sheriff Bergin
testified that it took him one hour and
forty-six minutes 10 ride from the place of
Littlefield's arrest to the scene of the
hanging.
James Simonin said that he had-met Joe
Lightfoot in the middle of the afternoon
of September 26. and that Lghtfoot had
invited him to join party to hang Little
field and some halfbreeds. Witness said
he had no horse, and so they went up to
George Whites place and White told them
to go and get the horse of futile, his head
vaouero, and say nothing about it. In the
evening the witness backed out of the ex-
ne0ition

Foreign Diplomats Send Second Note
10 the Porte Regarding the
Awful Carnage.

BELGRADE, SERvIA, Sept. Am up
rising has occurred among the Moslems of
the town of Uskup, European Turkey,
and the Christians are being massacred
and their homes pillaged by the mob
CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, Sept. l.
The foreign diplomats have sent second
note to the Porte calling attention to the
conclusive evidence obtained that the
Moslem mob which massacred the Arme-
mans was organized with the connivance
of certain officials. 1t is known, also, that
hundreds of rutfians were brought from
the Asiatic side OF the Bosporus to take
part in the work of murder and apine,
and were sent back to their homes after
the bloody work had been finished.
The number of persons killed in Sun
days riotIng at Hasskein is estimated at
200. The owners of the houses looted are
now returning. Over 1000 persons were
massacred in the Psamatra district.
Three hundred Armenians have been
dragged out of houses and murdered
shops are open and business generally is
resumed.
The number of persons killed in Sun
days riot at Hasskeln is estimated at 200.
Over 1000 persons were massacred in the
Paamatra district, 800 Armenians having

Baron de Calico, the Austrian Embassa-
dor. has had several interviews with the

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. The
cruiser Cincinnati has been ordered to
Turkey. This does not affect the cruise of
the Bancroft, that vessel being destined
exclusively for duty as guardship 10 the
American legation at Constantinople,
while the Cincinnati and other vessels OF
the squadron are to remain in Turkish
waters outside the Dardaneles unless
circumstances arise to call for re-enforce-
ments and display of naval force.
1t is explained that the orders to the
Cincinnati have been in contem plation
for some time, and there is no particular
significance in their publication at the
present juncture. 1t is also said that it is
the intention of the department TO bring
the Marblehead home as soon as she can
be spared from the Mediterranean. as the
time of a great many men on the station
has expired, and it is hoped to gather
them all on the Marblehead for the home
ward cruise. So it is argued no real in
crease in the force in Turkish waters is
designed unless affairs appear to war

nounced that he would speak upon all
sides of the platform. The asse bled
thousands gave shout of qualification at
this and tried TO keep as quiet as their en-
thusiasm would allow for the rest OF the
speech.
Mr. Bryan's argument for silver coinage
covered no new points. 1t was begun as
follows:
This is the largest audience to whom ever
tried to speak. l have had occasions to speak
where the sudience filed the house, but
never had occasion to talk where the audience
filed ali outdoors. (Laughter.1 II you all
vote as you are now shouting voices, "We
will!'l l do not see how there can be any
question about the triumph of free silver in
this State. We have entered on campaign
which means much TO the American people,.
If our opponents speak truly when they de-
scribe what will in their judgment De the
effect of free coinage, then the success OF the
Chicago ticket will surely be calamity TO the
country. II. on the other hand. we speak the
truth when we describe TO you the eHects OF q
gold standard then the maintenance OF a golo
standard until foreign nations come to our re-
lief is an evil which cannot be contemplated
by those who love their country. we nave
begun an unceasing warfare against the golo
standard.
The Republican party, without declaring
that the gold standard is good thing, has de-
clared that the gold standard must be main
tanned call your attention to the fact that
no party in the history of this country mas
ever in National convention commenced the
SOlu Sldnuaru. 1IS euectS are So pau LAoV ~
party has dared to uphold it.
at this point Mr.. Bryan, who had been
facing west as he spoke, now turned to the
south front of the platform and said he
would speak for while to the people on
that side. He continued:
The enemy whom we are fighting in this
campaign is an enemy who has never gone
into an open battle. The advocates of a gold
standard have never dared to submit the gold
standard to the arbitrament of a ballot.
[Cheers.l Every step that has been taken has
been taken by stealth and without the ap-
proval of the American people. GApplause.1
When silver was demonetized in 1873 the
people had not discussed it; and persons who
were members of Congress and who voted on
the measure testified they did not understand
that the bill demonetiZed silver. When the
crime was discovered and the American peo-
pie attempted to restore silver to its
ancient place by the side of gold,
the opponents of free coinage forced
the Bland act upon Congress as a
compromise, and soon as the Bland act went
into force, the enemies of free silver sought to
repeal the Bland act and leave nothing in its
place But the silver sentiment grew until
1890, and in that year the opponents OF free
coinage, being afraid of the passage of free
coinage pill, secured another compromise
which was known as the Sherman law.

In dealing with the question of public
lighting, the District Appropriations Com
mittce has opened the way to an endless
amount of trouble. without affording ade-
quate relief-to the city. The reduction of
prices recommended cannot be too strongly
Endorsed, but the proposition TO allow
outside companies to tear up our streets TO
light both them and our parks, looks like
scheme TO turn public lighting over to the
new electric company, which the Conmiss
sioncrs seem to be fostering.
During the last Congress the Commits
sioners endeayorcd to secure an appro-
priation of s., 500 To support Commissioner
Truesdelrs lexington electric light plant
for services to be rendered in lighting that
suburb. Failing in that, Mr.. Truesdell
sold his plant TO Mcssrs. Crosby ard Lieb,
to whom the Commissioners granted spe-
cial privileges which had been refused the
United States Electric Company. The per-
nit was granted 10 a corporation that had
no existence, and in acting uuder it Messrs.
Crosby and Lieb Immediately began to
violate a District law concerning the lay
ing of wires supposedly with the knowi-
edge and consent of the Commissioners.
The amendments adopted by the Appro-
priations Committee last evening are clear

With characteristic Western hreeZincsS.
Ma yor Pincree of Detroit. who is on a visit
to Washington criticises the National Capt
tai. He would have cheaper light, and
more Of il: ne would have the streets bril-
liantIy Illuminated. and he would have
street car fares reduced to three cents
with a general transfer system attached.
To all of which the people of the District
heartily say. Amen. The fact is, Detroit's
energetic chief magistrate can say nothing
in depreciation of the insufficiency Of our
municipal lighting that has not been more
forcibly stated by the local press In the
streets it is simply outrageousiy bad ana
outrageously expensive, and Washing-
tonians sincerely pray and hope for speedy
relief AS to quality, quantity and price.
Mayor Pingree's structures on the street.
car fares are also timely and correct. If a
three-cent fare pays the Detroit companies.
il should do 50 here in Washington. where
the population is much larger and traffic pro-
portiopately heavier. Nor can there he
anv question of the correctness of the asser-
tion that a lower fare tends TO increase the
total of passengers, and will ultimately
increase also the companies revenues, rs
well as Yield ample dividends to the stock
holders. Three-cent fares, with free trans
fers, would be a boon TO the working people,

~ intended to license the company operated
by Messrs. Crosby and Lieb to tear up
our streets under the special protection or
the Commissioners, without the trouble and
expense of obtaining a franchise from Con-
gress. No permission is given to sell gas
or electric light to private consumers and
therefore no great saving is made to the
general public. Those who know the ex-
pense alta ched to the laying OF gas ma ms
and conduits will understand why the gas
monopoly will have no competition in its
bids for public lighting, anu it Is not
necessary to TO refer to the fact that
company must be under the guardianship
of the Commissioners to secure permission
to tear up our streets, even when Con-
gress grants such authority.
If we are TO have competition i'll gas and
electric lighting. let it be for both the
public and the private consumer, and not by
special favor. 1t is an outrage 10 allow
our streets to be torn up to enrich any
particular company. and Congress should
thwart the scheme to grant this privilege
to the Potomac Electric Light and Power
Company by striking out the amendments
adopted by the District Appropriations
Committee last evening.
