RESENTED BY JUDGE SLACK
Impertinent Letters Addressed to the
Court Touching the Bell Estate
Litigation.

Judge Slack showed plainly yesterday
morning that he did not like the method
taken by some letter-writers to influence
his decision of the Bell case, now on his
calendar, but which he said he would re-
fuse to consider further.
One OF the letters was signed Hender-
son ami the other bore the name of Ryan.
The Henderson letter was filed with
charges against Mrs. Teresa Bell, the
mother of young Fred Bell who says he
has not been properly treated by his
mother.
The petition OF young Bell is for the
re moval of his mother from her position
as guardian of his estate and as executrix
of his fathers estate.
The epistIe signed Ryan reads as fol-
lows:
July 9, 1897.
Judge Stack: If you will allow me to come n
to explain 10 you all that you have heard
about Mrs. Bell, and we know it is all true.
All three of us lived on the ranch at the time
Those people are very bad people. and you

held the per between his thumb and
finger as if it were an infected object.
to have nothing further to do with the
case continuance was granted until other
arrangements can be made Judge Slack
suggested that Judge Coffey would be the
proper person to determine the matter as
he is already familiar with this litigation
and has now another phase of the dispute
under examination.

The Opening Speeches.

MIR. Dingley, chairman Of the ways
and means, opened in an hours speech
for the majority, and Mr.. Wheeler of
Alabama fired the broadside for the op-
position. The Democratic plans had
miscarried. Mr.. Bailey, leader of the
opposition, had decided to close the de-
bate and Mr.. McMillin of Tennessee
had been selected to reply to Mr.. Ding
ley but at the last moment it was
learned that Mr.. McMillin had been
unable to prepare himself, owing to
the illness Of his wife. The task,
therefore, devolved on Mr.. Wheeler.
The latter was unprepared, but never.
theless took the floor for an hour. Mr..
Bell of Colorado blazed the path for
the Populists. The only other speaker
at the days session was Mr.. Hopkins
of Illinois, member of the ways and
means committee.
At the evening session speeches in
opposition to. the bill were made by
Mr.. Robinson (Dem., Ind.), Mr.. Green
(Pop., Neb.), Mr.. Carmack dem.
Tenn.), and Mr.. Buckner (Dem..
Mich.), and at 10 80 the house ad'
