GOVERNMENT WINS AT LAST The Litigation of Twenty Years
 Is Ended. MON TG0MERY REAL ESTATE To the Amount of Over Si00, 1000 Is Involved. The Interesting History of the
 Litigation.

Mon tgomery June S.-(Speclal.)-A suit somery property, and which has been in the courts for twenty years, has been finally decided in the United States court at New Orleans. There were three suits of the United States vs. citizens here for the possession of the following fine prop critics: The two-stofy building on Perry street in which the gas company has it's office; the two-story building on Perry street in which the Ellis restaurant is located; the three-story building No. 109 Dexter avenue and fourth interest in the Southern Cotton Oil works building and real estate, which Is valued at $250,- 000. The properties were bought by the government at executors sales shortly after the war. Possession was refused and the government entered the suits. A succession of trials followed. Four dis trlct attorneys advised the government they could not recover, but Special Coun- sel George H. Patrick of this city insisted he could and the chance was given him. He won the three suits In the United States circuit court in 1890 Only one case was appealed, the decision of the others to be dependent, by agreement, upon this. The supreme court decided in favor of the government last March, but Judge PQarman, while sitting for Judge Bruce here, granted Q new trial iff the case!' Attorney Patrick moved to over rule the decision Of Judge Boarman and this motion was heard in New Orleans Saturday before Judges Bruce and Par dee, with the result that the order for new trial was overruled and tho case finally disposed Of. Mr. Patrick's fee in the matter will be handsome one.

MAILING ON THE STAND.
His Mouth Was Full of Nails for JackSon's Coffin, and One or Two for
 Himself

Cincinnati, June S.-The only witness of importance examined today in the trial of Alonzo Walling for the murder of Pearl Bryan was the defendant himself, who talked with coolness and self-posses- sion.
 Walling admitted meeting Pearl Bryan on the Wednesday preceding the murder at the request of Jackson and told her that Jackson could not meet her until o'clock. He denied having seen Pearl Bryan afterward but once, on Thursday night at the postoffice. He did not speak to her. He slept Friday night the night of the murder, in Jackson's room. The witness said that Jackson told him one day that he had girl in trouble in Green Castle. He said he would bring her to Cincinnati and poison her or else he would cut up her body and dispose of it in manholes.
 Asked if Jackson had ever requested him to perform criminal operation, he said he told Jackson he would help him in every way he could, but he did not get a room or do anything in the case.
 The next subject was the disposal of Pearl Bryan's clothes. Walling said that on Saturday afternoon he went to the room and Jackson was there. He seemed to have just finished rolling three bum dies, which were lying on the bed. "Jack- son gave me one and he took the others. Come on, he said, and I followed him to the door," continued Walling.
 "Was that all he told you?"
 "That was all he said then. He told me that he wanted me to get rid of the bundle. I did not know then what it was. I know now. It contained Jackson's pantaloons."
 Witness was made to try on Jackson's bloody pants, which struck him above the shoe tops He denied having met the crir af Wa of h,rt ha Jackson with girl whom he thought was Pearl Bryan in the saloon on the night of the murder.
 Then at 5 o'clock the usual hour of adjournment, the court insisted upon the examination being continued until 5:3O, and at that time the court took the wit ness and examined him until 5:45, when court adiOIrned
