THE DEFENSE OPENS.

The defense then opened and swore
about thirty witnesses. The first to
take the stand was Ben Hagar who.
in reply to. Judge Powers, said he had
for years been engaged in laying
macadam pavements in California and
worked with the Macadam Rock COM
pany here. He was thoroughly up in
the business and explained how the
work should be done. Never knew of
a macadamized road being made with
out sand and small pieces of rock be-
ing put on as a top dressing. The road
should be sprinkled frequently after
the material is all laid. If this is not
done it would go to pieces. The guam
tity of top dressing to be used varied
according to the firmness with which
the lower strata Clf paving was laid
The firmer it was the less top dressing
1T needed.
William Cooper said he Travelled over
the State roao from two to five times
week for seventeen years. Prior to
1894 the road was in very bad condi-
ton. Witness noticed the kind of ma
terial used in the paving. 1t was rock;
didn't see anv dirt or soil. 1t was good
material. Since the paving was done
the road was a good one and a single
team could, with ease, haul 5000
pounds. The witness examined the
samples of rock and said it was SINH
lar to what was used on the road.
The witness, on cross examination by
Mr.. Varian, said that the road was
somewhat muddy, hut he was of the
opinion that the mud came from
pulverized quartzite and dirt brought
on the road by vehicles.

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET

Chicago, March 12.-Wheat was very
nervous ana somewhat irregular at the
opening, covering over lie. range. The
opening indicated that some of the opera
-ers feared damage to the plant might re-
suit from the cold weather and for an
hour or more the prevalence of that idea
was seen in a gradual though not very
material advance in the price. Besides
there seemed to be disposition to revise
previous opinions on the government re-
pert and give 1T a bullish rather than a
bearish construction. The market had
apparently been oversold yesterday and
the change in sentiment caused shorts
some alarm and there was active cover
ing Tor time which soon put the mar
ket up about &c. over the close yester-
day But at the advance the speculative
offerings increased. one broker reported as

be for a sirm interested largely for the

Don't you know that this stuff was

PENDANTS took their material?"
NO, it was not"
Don't you know it was taken from

and you were stopped from taking it?"
Yes, we were stopped from taking
it."
Witness denied that the present eoun-
ty court had used sand and dirt for
top dressing and afterwards admitted
that they might have done so without
his knowledge. Little or no repairs
had been done on the road by the pres
ent county court
Harry S. JOSeDhS, county surveyor,
examined by Mr.. Whittemore said fine
powdered soil or dirt was not used
for top dressing. 1t was, however,
sometimes used, but with engineers and
road builders was considered bad prac-
tice.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
r. p. Fisher recalled said the wagons
used by him in hauling the paving ma
terial were the same size as the other
wagons so used.
John P. Cahoon recalled identified
samples of the material submitted by
the companies with bids
Selectman Geddes, recalled, examined
the samples of rock and, shale and
said they were basis with which the
bulk of the material was to correspond.
w. H. Sells was subpoenaed as a
witness for the prosecution but he
failed to appear and the prosecution
closed their case without him.
Judge Powers then moved that the
court instruct the jury to bring in
verdict of not guilty for the reason
that the prosecution had failed to
make a case or to show any GRIMM
ality.
HOW THE JUDGE WILL INSTRUCT
The court overruled the motion, but
said that he would instruct the jury
that if they found when the evidence
was all in that the county, by it's
agents. or the county court had re-
ceived and passed the material and
put it on the road, to bring in a verdict
of not guilty; he would also instruct
the jury that the presumption was that
the bills presented were for the good
material and not for the bad.

lar to the preceding witness.
