sufficient legal knowledge to know that
the possession of the mortgage, which
had been recorded, would do them no
good. but believed that by securing that
document and the note. would be able
to wipe out the debt. The theory in

ance on the part of the Mings boys, but

is justified.
1t is claimed that in pursuance Of the
scheme to get the mortgage the Mings
boys conceived the idea of stealing It.

Hayes unexpectedly came back to the
store, which he had left, and was held
up by them: that they. were after the
mortgage when they had Hayes down

they were forcing him TO procure the
document for them when they were in
terrupted by outsiders. and shot down
Hayes as he came back from the little
office room. armed with his revolver and
carrying a lighted lamp. According TO
the theory murder was not the original

shaped themselves. probably with a de-
sire to kill the man. because he knew
who his assailants were and would dis
close their identity II he lived.

Plans for the New Quarters Ac.
cepted by the Board
THE COMMODIOUS BARRACKS
The Militia to Have q Home Worthy Of
Their Arms
A Ten Years Lease Of the Site st Twelfth
Street and Grand Avenue Sc.
eured-Second Term

At the adjourned meeting yesterday of
the armory board of the local battalion
of the National Guard, the plans for the
new barracks at the corner of Twelfth
street and Grand avenue were finally
accepted. They now only require the
endorsement of the brigadier general
The proposed plans are the design of the
architects, Messrs. Todd & Walker, and
will provide quarters in every way con-
venient and worthy of the local militia
The site at the corner Of Twelfth and
Grand avenue is the property Of Mr.
Victor Ponet, and an agreement is being
entered upon to lease the property for
a term of ten years.
The barracks will occupy premises 1856
by 240 feet and will be enclosed by a
handsome board fence. The main en-
trance will be on Grand avenue, with
miniature square towers on each side Of
the gates. The buildings will form a
quadrangle with a splendid parade
ground. ITO by 200 feet. in the center
The parade ground will be Of rolled
gravel and illuminated by electric lights
on four high masts, one on each side of
the ground, giving very satisfactory
light without shadows. What an i'm
provement this will be to drilling on
the street can easily be imagined. Each
company will have its separate quar-
ters, in the shape of a one-story brick
building. Entering from Grand avenue
in the right hand corner. southwest, will
be the quarters of company A. 20xl0
feet in dimensions. The quarters of
companies and F, and the officers
quarters. each 20x40 feet, will occupy the
south side.
On the far side Of the parade ground
from the entrance is to be an assembly
hall. 30x10, with regimental headquar-
ters on the right hand side and brigade
headquarters on the left, connected
with the main building. The store room
and the armory will occupy quarters
2Ox30 in the northeast corner. Next to
that building will be the home Of the
signal corps. 20x40. The cavalry Will
have possession of the northwest cor
ner in fine building, 20x60 feet.
The barracks when completed will
present thoroughly military appear
ance and will be such as few other ma
tional guard organizations in the country
can boast. The parade ground will be
surrounded by a neat walk with grass
plots and flower beds dividing the vari-
Gus buildings.
With the final approval OF the briga-
der general. which Is confidently ex-
pected to follow the endorsement of the
company. corps and troop commanders,
it is believed that the contracts will be
definitely signed within a few days and
the work begun. Dispatch In the work
Is necessary. as the national guard must
soon vacate their present armory at
Sixth and Broadway.

THE WHIrE-SAMIS AFFAIR
Preliminary Examination in Progress Before
Township Jus tice Young

Inc preliminary examination Of Sam
Whlte, Charged with assault with a dead
ly weapon on w. Nj. Samis. was com
menced in the township court yesterday
morning. The assault took place a. Bur-
bank. and the greater portion of the
population of that place were in at
tendance at the examination yesterday.
Whlte and SAINTS, 1t will be remem-
bered became engaged in an alteration
In the course of which White struck
SAINTS several blows over the head with
heavy cane. The men then armed
themselves with pistols and exchanged
shots. but no harm resulted. Shortly
after the fight SAINTS became violently
insane and is now confined in the asylum
at Highlands. 1t is coutended by the
people that the beating on the head caus-
ed the insanity. The defense, on the
other hand, claim that Samis received
an injury on the head some time before
the fight, and that he was insane when
he began the trouble with White, who
used his stick in self defense.
White gave his statement of the trou-
Bile at the time SAINTS was examined for
insanity. which was published in full.
The most important witness SO far ex-
amined is the mother-in-law Of Samis,
who witnessed the alteration. She says
that when Samis asked White what he
meant by circulating false reports about
him. the latter replied that he would
show him, and at once fell to beating
him over the head with the club. She
asked him to desist, when White replied
that he would kill him. She then hand
ed Samis a loaded revolver to defend
himself, when Whites boy brought his
father large pistol, and Samis re-
treated. About twenty minutes later
Samis showed signs of insanity, and soon
became a raving maniac. breaking up
everything in the house. He had never
shown any indications of insanity be-
fore.

THE HAYES MURDER
Tho Trial VIII Proceed This Mornine-Thcor,
OF the Prosecution

Yesterday was the date set for the
trial of b. w. and George w. Mings,
charged with the murder of John F'tyes,
the Puente postmaster, and when court
convened in department one yesterday
morning most of the witnesses We're in
attendance, as well as a large number
of spectators. The prisoners We're in at
tendance and looked much better than
when they were first arrested, the con-
fnement in Jail and consequent regular
living evidently having had beneficial
effect.
When the case was called by Judge
Smith, Messrs. Davis and Rush for the
defense announced that they were
ready to proceed. The people We're I'M
prepared and Deputy District Attorney
McComas, who is assisted by Ben Good
rich, moved for continuance on the
ground of the absence of a material wit
ness, who, it was stated, could not be
had at this time Two affidavits We're
filed in support of the motion, one by Mr..
McComas and the other by a private
detective named j. +. Burns. They are
substantially the same, and are to the
effect that they expect to show by a
man named Clark that only a few days
before the murder George Mings re-
marked to Clark in a general CONVERSE
ton, when asked how he was getting
along, that things We're in pretty bad
shape with him, and money was scarce
nut tHal II he could get the key OF Tom
Hayes safe he would be better off. It
was stated that this information had
only been secured within the last few
days, and that it had been impossible
to get the witness in the limited time at
their disposal.
Judge Smith objected to granting any
further continuance. saying that the
case had already been postponed two
or three times and that the people
should now be ready to proceed He
finally continued the hearing until this
morning. when the empaneling of the
jury will begin.
Ever since the arrest Of the NIines
brothers the prosecution has been busy
strengthening its case, and it is now
claimed that if Clark can be located the
missing link Will be supplied. 1t is now
claimed that Tom Hayes owned the
grocery store, which was run bv his
brother John, and that Tom held a.
mortgage against George Mings for
$4,000, which was past due and for which
Mings had made new note. which
transaction furnishes the motive for the
murder. They say that a short time
before the murder Hayes lost the note
which he carried about him, while the
mortgage was in the safe; that the note
was found by man. who carried it to
Mings and tried to sell it to him; that
he said 1t was of no consequence unless
ne had the mortgage. The prosecution

Argument Begun in Department

SEVERAL ABLE ADDRESSES
The Trial Of the Mings Brothers vii
Begin Today
Strong Evidence Dug Up by the Prosecution.
Two Important Opinions by Juags
Ross-court Notes

Argument in the case of Mrs. Krause
against her father, John Bryson ST., the
well-known capitalist, a suit to recover
$4,000 alleged to be due her as the pro-
ceeds of a piece of property which she
had turned over to him some years ago,
in Iowa, and which he converted to his
own use, was commenced before Judge
Shaw yesterday. Will A. Harris OPEN
ed the argument for the defendant. He
ridiculed the claim that Mr.. BrySon was
indebted to his daughter in any amount.
He said that the evidence showed how
he supported her and her children Tor
years. opening the doors of his house
to her and giving her a home after she
had been three times married. Mrs.
Krause, he said, had turned the prop
erty over to her father, who had given it
to her in the first instance, because she
had no further use for 1t, and because
she refused to longer live in the house
where her first matrimonial venture
had resulted so disastrousiy. While
Mr.. Bryson had never made any charge
for the support of his daughter and her
children, he had expended many times
over the value of the property for their
benefit. The present suit was instituted,
Mr.. Harris said, in a feeling of spite,
growing out of family differences, and
had no substantial foundation in law or
fact. Mrs. krause and her daughter.
Mrs. Weber, the latter of whom had
been educated at the expense of her
grandfather, We're scored for the ingrat-
itude displayed in this suit, and the
animus exhibited, which cropped out at
every stage of the proceedings.
Hon. Henry T. Gage followed Mr..
Harris and made a strong and eloquent
argument for the defendant. lie denied
that there was ever any trust, expressed
or implied, in the transfer of the prop
erty in question. Further, that too great
lapse of time had passed before the
bringing of the suit and that the cause
had no standing in a court of equity
Mr.. Cages remarks were cut short by
the adjournment of court, but will he
resumed this morning after which Judge
Works will close for the plaintiff
Mrs. krause and her daughters sat
smilingly during the entire time and
appeared TO take deep interest in the
proceedings. Mr.. Bryson was also in
attendance, and a times was apparently
much moved at the attorneys remarks.
