JOHN H. CARNEY,

round faced young sEman who lives on
Portland street in this city, testified that
he was associated in business with Bailey
occupied the Fsame room. The witness
saw enough of Bailey 10 know that he
did not visit Portland during the time
they were living in Brockton. Bailey
left Brockton between the 8th and 18th
of October. The witness could not tell
just what they were doing on the 9th Of
October Bailey had long black over.
coat and wore it most of ths time.
On cross examination, the witness
testified that he got back to Portland
ABOUT three weeks ago. During the
Brockton residence, Bailey had A"quits
a few stamps as he always did but he
did no business in them at that time.
ALBION BAILEY,
clerk and salesman in Fred L. Merrill 8
Jewelry store, testified that he is the
father of the respondent, He testified to
sending his sons overcoat to him in
response to request about the Goth of
September. His son was away from the
first of September to Christmas day. On
the 18th Of October, officer Pickett told
the witness that there was some trouble
in which his son was involved. He
wrote and asked his son if he had done
anything here which would get him into
carrying amps about with him.
On GROSS examination, the witness tes-
titled that he ad vised his son to go to the
station on Friday, the day he got home,
and learn what the charge was against
him. He thought he mentioned the
matter again and his son said he was
going to the station.
WILLIAM U. HOWE,
of Portland, VINO has known the witness
as stamp collector, was called on the
stand and testified that he remem bered
the witness wearing moustache. He
noticed that on Saturday when he saw
the respondent that he looked as if his
upper lip had been recently shaven.
Bailey offered to sell to Mr.. Howe a
Brattlsboro'' stamp worth 5000 or $500.
The respondent did not show the stamp
but said he had it. MIR. Howe said that
had he wanted the stamp he should
have preferred not to buy it of Bailey.
On Cross examination, the witness do
scribed the Brattleboro stamps, until
Judge Robinson remarked to Mr.. Meaher
that the evidence was entertaining but
hardly relevant.
This closed the testimony
The Portland daily press., 1896-12-31
W '1t11fUHs
MR.. MEAHER

in his arguments, laid stress upon the
alihi which he claimed had been estab-
lished beyond doubt and assured the
court that they had other evidence not
proper for introduction here but which
showed that Bailey was in Brockton on
the 9th Of October. The defence gave
Mrs. Stevens avery latitude in telling
her version of the story. She had told
it as she believed it but, Mrs. SteveusIwas
The Portland daily press., 1896-12-31

not the first person to be mistaken. This
the beginning to the end he has averred
his innocence. His father did what he
could to aid the officers. He afterwards
told his son that the affair had blown
over, which accounted for Bailey's fail
ure to 60 at once to the police station.
Mr.. Meaher claimed that the alibi justi-
fed Bailey's discharge.
MR.. WEBB
said that he apprehended that the court
would decide this case by the admissible
evidence before it and not Dy assurances
of what he could furnish If the court re-
quasted him to do so. In this case there
is the direct testimony of Mrs. Stevens
and she is zorro borated in a singular
manner by the respondent himself, for
he testifies that when he does wear a
moustache 1t is of the kind which Mrs.
Stevens describes. Mr.. Webb called at
tsntion to the fact that the letter in the
envelope bearing the Brockton postmark
was dated October 8. This letter might
have been written on the 9Th and mailed
on the 9th. Bailey had a friend right
there in Brockton who could have mailed
it for him.
JUDGE ROBINSON
in announcing his decision said that the
respondent was charged with an offence
greater than those in which this court
could pass Judgment as to the guilt or
innocence of the accused. The fact that
the offence was committed was not de-
MED. Consequently the duty of the
court was limited to the question of
probable cause. If the defence set up
was believed by jury it would lead to
the acquittal Of the respondent, but the
government having made out a prima
facie case, the judge deemed it his duty
to hold the respondent.
. Mr.. Bailey did not succeed in securing
bail yesterday and Deputy Sterling
committed him to Portland Jail.

 Corbett said that he had received an offer from Dan Stuart of Texas to fight ritzsimmons for $I5,000, to take place in the south at some place Stewart vould select. 'I have not received MT. srewart's letter yet, said Gorbett.

 Speaking about the 1o-round "go" be- tween Tom sharkey and Fitzsimmons, which takes place in San Francisco this week, Corbett said that he looked for Fitzsimmons to whip Sharkey.

ROBBERY AT DALLAS.
County Treasurer Coe Held
 Up Tn His Office.
TWO MEN COMMITTED THE DEED.

They Force NIT. Cos to Open the County
 Vault and Secure Neat Sum of Cash
 and checks-The Official Was Slightly
 Wounded In the Back of the Head
 by Shot.
 DALLAS, Dec. 1.-Two men with guns held up County Treasurer w. N. Coe in his office in the courthouse here at midnight Sunday night and took $500 in cash and checks amounting to about $l200
 From the best information that can be gleaned Mir. Coe was in his office working upon his books preparatory to turning over the office to his successor. Edward Prather He had been at work since 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At 12 o'clock the two men faced Mir Coe and at the point of pistols made him open the big vault and the men took the cash stAd started to make their exit.
 Then Mir Coe reached and secured his pistol, which was in the vault, and fol- lowed the robbers out of the vault The other man i'll the meantime stood watch on the outside.
 As the man with the money made for an open window on Commerce street Mir. Coe raised his pistol, but it went off prematurely Then the robber drew his gun and a fusillade followed.
 When the smoke cleared away the robbers had escaped and rush was made to the courthouse by people upon the streets. Ill few minutes number of persons were at the scene.
 Mir Coe was found seated in chair with wound in the back of his head and the blood trickling down his neck. Papers were all over the floor of the vault and things looked as if cyclone had struck it.
 Soon officers were there and hasty examination was made On the outside of the window lay a big pistol supposed to belong to one of the robbers. So far the robbers are at large.
 MT Coe was asked for description of the robbers, and said
 1.-The one who covered me with the pistol was the only one that got a good look at, but my experience for the last few minutes has so unnerved me that could not describe anything or anybody. I did all could to save the bonds, eight in number, and tried to kick my checks aside when they were dragged out of the lower vault, but they are gone too. !"
 Mir. Goes injuries are slight, being simply slight scalp wound.
 Officers are doing all in their power to effect the capture of the robbers.

Don't think because you are sick
and nothing seems to give you re-
lief that you can't be cured.
There must be a cure for you
somewhere.
If your doctor can't cure you,
perhaps he has mistaken the cause.
ANYBODY is liable to make a mistake
sometimes.
One in three of us suffer from in
digestion, and one out OF every
three dyspeptlcs doesn't know it.
That is, he may know he is sick, but
he blames it to something else.
Indigestion is the cause of half OF
our dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, made
from tonic medicinal roots and
