THE JONES CASE.
MORE TESTIMONY ABOUT
TAGS AND MISSING
RECORDS.
Different Chances For Stealing in
the Refinery.

In the morning session the cross
examination of Noteware by Wood
burn was resumed. Witness said that
the same opportunity to steal existed
in the ingot melting room as in the
refinery. If the spurious melt was
made in the night the Waterman
would have known that operations
were heing carried on. Harris had
the same access to the vaults and
books as Jones The books Of '95 show
NJ shortage and everything was &C
cepted by the Superintendent as cor
rect mp to that time. ~
Witness then gave the jury a de-
tailed account Of The method of weigh
ing up bullion in making annual set
Elements. Found no shortage in the
books prior tO melter and refiner Har-
ris being in the Mint.
Note 1T was Harris who discover
ed the shortage in metal soon after he
went into office and it was Harris who
reported the shortage to the Superin-
tendent. The defendant was his as
~sistant at thar time.l

of Jones, Brown, the weigh clerk, and

handwriting Of Brown. The weigh
clerk is supposed to keep the books.
The books are all balanced except for
the years '93 and '94. In previous
years the credits of the slum bullion

He gave it but one glance He did not look

once that 1t must be the body of Christian.

SANCTUM SENTIMENTS.

Mr.. Frank Lander, editor of the
COLUMBIA HERALD, has been in
dicted for giving money to Influence
the recent municipal reform cleo
ton in Columbia. 1t seems. how
ever, that it is malicious con-
spiracy against Mr.. Lander by the
corruptionists and boodlers who felt
the weight of Mr.. Lander's pen in
their recent defeat. His vigorous
editorial in the last issue of the
HERALD indicates that the coward
ly attempt to rob the editor of his
character and influence will react
on themselves, and that their base
designs will be thwarted. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that where
Mr.. Lander is known the charges
against him will have no weight.
