CARRYING Mail on Street Cars.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Street car compan-
les have no authority to carry Uncle
Sans mail, If Corporation Counsel
Thornton is right. He sent an opinion
on the question Wednesday night to
the city council, and from his standpoint
the companies Are operating under fran
chises which specifically prohibit the
transportation of anything but passen-
gers. Mr.. Thornton believes that the
authority granted the car companies by
the United States is not sufficient to
permit the hauling of nail cars. He
says the carriage Of mail therefore, is
a direct violation of the provisions under
which the roads are operating.

why He Accuses Witnesses.

81 am led to this conclusion by the
demeanor Of the witnesses while testi-
flying on the witness stand and by the
fact and circumstances connected with
their testimony, coupled with the fur
ther fact that offers were made to other
witnesses or their representatives to pay
money to them, or be given lands with
out the payment of money thereafter,
provided they would testify against the
defendant, Mrs. Atkinson. IT is, there
fore, plain there was an effort being
made to suborn witnesses, and l am
thoroughly convinced that two or more
of them were absolutely purchased. I
cannot believe that / am mistaken on
this point.
THE evidence brought out In this trial
also shows that Mrs. Atkinson, prior to
her marriage to Judge Camden, re-
ceived an anonymous letter. warning

statement Of which the following are
the principal points:

to admit testimony on other matters
