Geo. Mclaughlin Throws Light
on the Bar Stamping.

Yesterday morning the Circuit Court
was dismissed for the term and the
trial of Piper, also charged with theft
of bullion, was postponed until March
%.
District Attorney Jones asked that
a Grand Jury be- called at the conclu-
sion OF the Jones case. The case of
Coffin the attorney, charged with con-
tempt in sending money to witnesses,
will be presented to the Grand Jury.
Paris Ellis the assayer then took the
stand and testified that the assay OF

was reported to have been remelted.

son why this bar was remelted. 1t
was unnecessary. Before an assay L

chooses, but after ~assayiug he should
not do it as it is liable to change he

In case the meter and reflner is dis

AFTER RECESS.

After recess Geo. McLoughlin, for
merly the pressman of the mint, testi-
fled relative to the stamping of the
bars. When the bars are taken from
the mould the helper stamps the hum
bers on them while they are hot. He
is guided in his work by a small tag.
The dies from the deposit melting room
fit the impressions on the spurious
bars.
Under a glass imperfections can be
noticed in the dies which are repro
duce1 in the bars. Three sizes of fig
ures had been employed TO stamp the
same bar. Witness while testifying
used a nagnifying glass in examin-
ing the dies and said he was able TO
state positively that three different sets
Of dies were used in stamping the
spurious bars. Witness described and

ings in the stone floors of the fortr asses,
and when the horrible hole is opened
the foul odor of filth and decomposition
is overpowering.
These dungeons are inhabited almost
solely by political prisoners, and many
Cubans arrested during the present re-
bellion are there. Some are in solitary
confinement. Others are in dungeons
holding 80 or 40 men.
When a man Is placed in solitary con-
finement hole Is cut in the masonry
large enough to admit the passage of
his body. and he is dropped in. A black
smith follows and Yields on the letters.
Locks and keys are never used. A
heavy weight with chain is welded to
the ankle and an iron band is welded
about the waist. A chain attached to
the latter is welded to an iron ring sunk
in the wall of solid rock. The hole in
the masonry is bricked up again with
the exception of small space a few in
ches square. Through this comes the
soant air and the scraps Of food allowed
the victim.
After that the man is left to live or
rot. The filth of these holes cannot be
adequately described. Disease is mer-
ciful here, for few men survive the tor
ture for any length of time.

prison, at Madrid. Then they are
marched. with insufficient clothes and
with absolutely no provision for food,
to Valencia.
Here they are shipped to the colonies
in old Anticipated ships. which are over
crowded TO the verge OF positive danger.
Herded like cattle in pens, beaten by ig-
norant and brutal soldiers, they go to a
living death in the colonies. where
stripes are given more often than food,
and where brutality is visited with the
smiles of superior officers. No wonder
that suicide is the natural thought Of
the usual Spanish convict.
The political prisoner fares worse than
the criminal guilty Of assassination.
The latter is regarded merely as the
enemy of the individual, while the for
mer is regarded as the enemy of the
king.
Most of the political prisoners are sent
to Ceuta, Africa. Ceuta is an old Moor
ish seaport town in Morocco opposite
Gibraltar. The town is on the side Of
the ancient mountain Abyia, which
forms one of the pillars of Hercules,
the Rock of Gibraltar being the other.
1t is almost impregnable, and is to
Spain what Siberia is to Russia, with
the exception that 1t is even more hor-
rible. The town was built by the Moors
about 945, and it is probable that there
is no other one place in the world where
80 many devices of torture are concen-
trated
Ceuth is a very small place, and the
Moors constructed a chain of fortresses
around 1t to guard against any possible
attack. 1t is in the cellars of these an
cient and decaying fortresses that the
dungeons are located. They are hewr
out of the solid rock, and are in tiers to
a depth of 80 or so feet. The approach
to them is made through narrow open

State immigration.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: One of the
first steps TO be taken toward improved
conditions is the call of Governor McGraw
for state immigration convention. Much
as the state of Washington has been talk
ed about and favorabIy as it is known
throughout the middle states, the best
kind of immigration is not likely to be
had without effort. Migration runs in
lines; it should follow isothermal lines,
perhaps, but ii usually follows lines judic-
iously laid down by wide-awake communi-
ties. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, the Dako-
tas, California and Texas have been in
turn the centers of attraction, made so
by the efforts of those states to increase
their population. Now Tennessee and
Georgia are making heroic endeavors to
attract newcomers, and we can not afford
to be idle.

NEVER ATE CHICKEN THAT WAY
How An American Girl Rebuked a Rude
Engltshmau.

Nearly every American girl who goes
abroad brings back a report of some high
~ creditable intellectual achievement
which the rude conduct of English women
have forced upon her.
A story is told of young Chicago girl
who was eating fricasseed chicken on
board ship on her return trip from Eng
land According to accepted custom she
held the little bones of the wing between
a dainty thumb and forefinger and applied
her teeth to the tender white meat. Oppo-
site her sat party of English women
whom she had not met, and she distinctly
heard one woman say to another:
"Of course she's an American-just look
at her eating chicken from her fingers {;
you never see such conduct except in
America"
Then the Chicago girl said clearly
Pardon me, madam, but did you never
eat chicken from your fingers?"
And the English woman answered with
reproving emphasis:
"Neverl-never!
Then the Chicago girl exclaimed, fer
vently:
well, I'm sorry for you-you don't
know what you've missed" and dived
again into her chicken wing.

MANGLED BODY 10 DISCOVERED
Went TO the Beach in Search of CLANS
and Fell From the Cliffs.

Went TO the Beach in Search of CLAIMS
and Fell From the Cliffs.
Particulars have reached Astoria, Or
from Seaside relative to the death of
w. Wedeke, whose body was reported
to have been found on Bald hill, near
Elk creek, showing that death was not
the result of either foul play or drown
ing, but was due to fall from the cliffs
near Bald hill. 1t appears that the
unfortunate man went from the Bart
ley ranch to the beach, in search of
CLAIMS or mussels, accompanied by Mr..
BARLEY, and, remaining too long on
the beach, was unable to return by the
trail. Mr. BARLEY proposed remaining
on the beach till morning, but Wedeke
concluded to make his way home by
scaling the cliffs. Some time later
BARLEY followed, but on reaching the
summit found no traces of his compan-
ion. Procuring assistance, he instituted
a search, which was unsuccessful until
Monday, when the bruised remains were
discovered on a ledge of rock about
200 feet below the summit. The de-
ceased was 65 years of age, native of
Germany, and had no relatives, as far
as is known, in this part of the country.

FICTION is TAKEN FOR SCIENCE
How Learned Men Have Been Fooled by
Clever Literary Work.

An old man named William Lawson,
at Plymouth, England, became famous
in a rather singular way. He was a
great admirer of Stanley, and had so
imbued himself with the explorers ad-
ventures on the dark continent that he
really lived the fearful scenes over
again. He ended by writing a series of
sketches, which he intended simply as
stories OF adventure, but which bore
so thoroughly the stamp of verisimili-
tude that they were received by many
eminent savants as serious scientific
accounts of matters actually seen and
noted by the author. Among others,
Professor Goldsmith of Berlin wrote for
extracts. DR.. Ferrara, who accompanied
the prince Of Wales in India, asked to
be allowed to use an account of a tiger
fight in one of his own books. Sir John
Lubbock who was at the head Of the
Royal Society at the time, asked the
new explorer to lecture In London. Yet
this remarkable compiler OF adventures
had never visited the countries he so
aptly described.
This story reminds one of Dean Swift
and the learned men of his time, but in
that instance the imposition was NAL
icious When that immortal satire,
1.-The Tale of a Tub" appeared, it was
found to contain a great many Latin
quotations, and among these were some
words, apparently correctly formed,
and with proper endings, and composite
particles, which, nevertheless, had
blind roots, and could not be traced in
any lexicon.
Swift was a notable diner-out, and
he used to frequently sit at the same
table with learned scholars, who were
discussing where the dean got his OBJ
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1896-01-11

scurs Latin-some contending that it
was archaic, and others that it was cor
rupt medieval Latin. The dean would
never say a word on the subject him
self, but would listen to the learned dis
putants with sardonic satisfaction.
The joke Of the whole thing was that
the words in dispute were not Latin at
all. but cleverly devised limitations.
They had no meaning whatever, and
Swift had woven them in for the ex-
press purpose of puzzling the pundits.
