YOUNG VINAL'S LATEST.
Says Now He Was Hired to Accuse His
Father.

A Neighbor Offered Him S25 to Make the
Accusation-The Statement Believed
BY No One, and the Young Man Re-
| garded as the Champion liar.
Belfast May 5.-The Belfast police
court room WAS packed to it's utmost
capacity at 10 O'Clock, Tuesday forenoon,
when Judge Rogers entered and assumed
| his seat. Inside the bars were the prison
er, Benjamin Vinal, his son and accuser,
| Horace e. Vinal, and the state witnesses.
| 1t was the intention Of Attorney Ward
| well, the prisoners counsel, to waive an
examina tion and allow his client to be
bound over to the October term Of court.
Horace arrived earlyss in the morning
ands 1t was rumored he had another story
to tie Il, which is story number three and
different from the others. He is now
prepared to deny all his former stories
and say that he was influenced to make
his former statement concerning his
father, by others. This caused change
in the plans of the respondent and it was
determined to make defence.
Word was received from Prof. Robinson
that be could not make an analysis of the
stomach of the deceased before week.
Horace visited his father at the jail but
he had no private interview with him,
for the sheriff was present.
Benjamin A. Vinel was arraigned and
in firm voice pleaded that he was not
guilty.
County Attorney Bowden opened for
tie State giving history of the case.
Jeremiah A. Holmes Of Winterport
testified as to Benjamin Fish drinking
the oheckerberry at the Vinal home after
the death of Robert and his subsequent
illness. Holmes also tested the checker
berry and found it bitter.
Holmes said in relation to the property,
that he heard Benjamin say that Robert
mortgaged the farm. which he had no
right to do, and - him, I can i'm
prison him for 1t.
Holmes said that Horace Vinal came to
his home one week ago and told him the
story which has been already published,
that he thought his father guilty and
chat he had thought about it all winter.
He said he was innocent and he wanted
everybody to know it. Horace said he
knew more than he had told and wanted
to go to Belfast. Horace made his state
ment under oath to S. A. Littlefeld and
said it was his own free act.
The most important piece Of testimony
was that of the boy Horace E. Vinal.
Horace admitted he told the story in
volving his father, but now says it is
false and that he was compelled to tell 1t
by jeremiah Holmes, q neighbor. He
said Holmes offered him $40 to tell the
story, ana on refusal threatened him.
The boy was afraid and went before the
justice and told Holiness story.
No one in the court room believes the
story and the boy is pronounced the
champion liar. The preliminary trial has
not ended aud it looks now as though the
boy Horace will be held.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 5.-In the debate
on the woman question in the M. E..
Conference today James Harlan of Iowa,
ex-United States Senator, and member
Of Johnson's cabinet, said: "The
general conference has. decided that
laym en- are all those not members of the
annual conferences. Women are not
members Of the annual conferences. By
what right or what Interpretation Of the
law of the church do you intendEto. keep
women outf The word 'laymen' means
professional, and in the Methodist
church 1t means all members except those
who are professional.
Rev. DR.. Buckley of New York!sThe
only time the conference has ever under
taken SO violent aotsas it now proposes
to do, was before the war when 1t
biseoted the church. II you admit those
women in the interests Of peace 1T will be
the piece of despair. 1t will disgrace the
conference and Stir up in the men to dc
as they please Pause, brethren, before
you commit thisssawful mistake"
Among the other warm speeches was
one by President Harris of the East Maine
conferen ce.
The conference adjourned until s. 80 a. N.
tomorrow, when debate will be re-
sumed.

Wants Reprieva Badly.

Philadelphia, May 5.-H. a. Holmes
was last night transferred from the cell
in the prison he had occupied since the
verdict of guilty against him was rem
dered, to newly fitted up section that
affords better ventilation. The doomed
man is now confined in a cell only few
yards from the gallows. He can hear the
moving OF timbers and the rapping OF
hammers upon the apparatus.
In letter to his counsel Holmes said
that if he was given a reprieve. he would
settle his affairs SO as to give Mrs. Peit.

the 9th and 18th instants for the consider
alton of private pension bills, was pres
ented by Mr.. Henderson. Republican Of
Iowa, as an order today, from the com.
mittee on rules. Mr.. Henderson stated
that there were 4o5 pension bills upon the
calendar.
After an animated partisan discussion
the House adopted the resolution 172 to
Sc.
The oath Of office was administered by
the Speaker to Rud olph Kleberg, Demo-
cart, elected to succeed the late VIM. H.
Grain, as member of the 18th Texas dis
trict.
The question of concurring in the Sem
ate amendments to the naval appropria-
tlon bill, reducing the number of new
battleahips to be authorized from to 2
was called up by Mr.. Boutelle, Republi-
can of Maine.
Mr.. Sayers. Democrat of Texas, advo-
GATED his motion to concur. he expressed
the opinion that this was business ques-
tion, and no politics were involved. The
appropriation bills made at this session
Independently of the contracts authorized
by them, he regarded as fair and reason
able. The appropriations that had passed
the House, he said, amounted to 1886, 900, :
900. y If &c these should be added a.perma-
nent appropriation amounting in round
numbers to $l19, 600, there was q
total appropriation for the next fiscal
year Of $505, 900, 900, against estimated
revenues of S464 900. 600.
ME-. Boutelle. who opposed the motion
to concur, expressed regret that the gen.
tleman from Texas, and those who agreed
with MIN had not vouchsafed these eoo-
nomioal views at a time when the atti-
tude of Congress, and part of the public
press might have been described as
"famboyant There was no telling, he
said what influence they might have
then upon legislation and good sense
He referred to the action of the House
at the time the bill was passed, stating
that the committee on naval affairs
found from its first meeting a pressing
demand from members of the House that
1t should go beyond what 1t recommend
ed. There was great deal of Cuba in
the air then.
After further debate Mr.. Sayers's mo-
tion to concur in the Senate amendment,
reducing the number of ships from to
2, was rejeoted-yeas, 81; nays, 141.
Mr.. Boutelle moved that the Senate re-
quest for conference be concurred in. 1t
was agreed to. The House adjourned.
