Especial to The Herald.)
CHEYENNE, Wy, June 27.-The most
damaging evidence aginst the defendant
yet brought out in the Croker trial was
introduced today, and was that of a little
girl, Efie Walton.
She was coasting near the Booth
Croker barn at the time the murder was
committed. She saw Mr.. Booth go into
the barn. When he stopped to go into
the lower part of the door. she saw a
club hit him ON the head. He straighten-
ed up and then fell forward into the
barn. She did not see any part of the
mans face. who hit him, only his nose
and that looked funny She saw from
his elbow down and from his knee down
he had gray clothes on. After Mr..
Booth fell, the door went shut quick.
The club looked like baseball bat She
identified the club shown in evidence as
being like the one she saw hit Mr.. Booth.
Just after she saw Mr.. Booth fall she
started for home and as she did the
electric lights went on.
Her testimony was corroborated by that
of Pear Butterworth, another little girl
who was with her The evidence of both
tends to- corroborate the evidence previ-
ously introduced that Croker wore a
grey suit and had on a false face when
he lay in wait at the barn for Booth to
enter.

further loss upon them. Eight troop
ers were wounded with machetes.

The repeated denials of General
Fitzhugh Lee, the United States con-
sul-general. that he has made unfa-
vorable reports to President Cleveland,
as announced in the United States,
have produced a favorable effect here
and have counteracted The bad feeling
occaSioned by the publication of the
erroneous reports.
Juan and Hobarto Echarto, proprie-
tors of the Colony of Central Zan-
gronize, this province, were shown to
have caused the transportation of fire
arms. The authorities thereupon

to Governor Mckinley, he said these
words:
