A Few Poiats Brought Out In the Trial
Now Going on.
New YORK, June Is The trial of
the officers of the American Tobacco
Company, indicted for alleged con
spiracy under the antitrust law of
this State, was resumed today after
an intermission of q day. Theodore
Allen was recalled by the prosecu-
ton and questioned. The witness, Mr..
Allen, testif ed that in conversation
with Mr.. Duke, previous to the for
nation of the combination, he told
him it costs his (Duke's) firm $685.
600 for advertising in 1888. Giuter
told him it cost his firm $3.50, 600 for
advertising the same ye,r, There
was some talk as to the remedy for
competition.
On cross examination witness said
that the consolidation was formed
for the purpose of promoting econ
omy in the manufacture Of cigar
cites. He had received a letter from
Allen & Ginter on September 6,
1890, in which the firm stated that
they we're averse to joining a trust
in the literal meaning of the term,
but if other companies were consid-
ering combination they might be
induced to join in the plan. Wit
ness said that the present price of
cigarettes was 15 per cent less than
when the companies we're doing bus
mess independently.
Peter HauPtmann, of the firm Of
Peter Hauptmann d Co dealers and
jobbers in tobacco and cigars, was
called after Mr.. Allen had become
so wearied that he asked to be ex-
cused for the day. Mr.. Haupt-
mann's firm does business in s..
Louis. He testified that previous to
1893 his firm handled about ID OOO.-
600 trust cigarettes yearly. In 1893
he bought cigarettes from the Ma
tlonal Cigarette Company and after
that the American Tobacco Com
pany refused to fill his orders. claim
ing that he had violated the agree
ment by which the trust held the
jobbers. He went to the st Louis
headquarters of the American To-
bacco Company and had a conver-
sation with Mr.. Browne. The latter
told him that he must quit selling
other cigarettes or the trust would
stop selling him the goods o. Its
manufacture. Brown told him the
American Tobacco Company sold 81
or SO per cent of all the cigaretiei
manufactured in the country, and
did not see why he would not sell
trust goods exclusively. He va.

Concerning the celebrated Father
Darcy, probably the greatest wit of that
witty nation, Ireland, it is related that
he once visited the palatial mansion of
a perfect specimen of the nouveaux

of Dublin at the invitation of it's POM
pous owner. He was shown all over
the house, his host taking great pains,
as is habitual in such cases, to keep
the witty and observant priest well in

tiful things he was shown. Finally,
after making the complete tour of the
chateau, the library was reached, it's
weight of thousands upon thousands of
volumes, Respondent in the most mag
nificent bindings. Here they seated
themselves, and the host said, with a
sigh of snobbish eXultation:
well, father, L have brought you here
last because this is my favorite room.
The other rooms maybe give pleasure
to my wife and my daughters, but this
is my place-right here among these
books, who are my friends. And these
here on the desk pointing to score
of ultra-looking volumes), are what L
may call my intimate friends"
Father Darcy got up and examined
one of them, when a broad grin spread
over his good-natured face, as he
said:

Il do not see any sufficient grounds
for a continuance" he imperturbably
decided, after a moment, taking up the
paper knife once more and attentively
| examining the pattern of its handle.
Your client was aware that the case
was set for trial this morning; if he
| disappeared from his room last night,
it would seem that he went voluntarily
| at least you have made no showing of
violence or coercion. SurmiSes and sug-
gestiOn are not to be accepted as evil
dence. Gentlemen, we will proceed
with the case"
Bartels' fair face flushed an angry red,
but comprehending the uselessness of
further appeal, he resumed his seat in
silence. Just as L told you" muttered
| Carlton in his ear. They've got Bennett
| on their side fast enough. Your only
show now is to kill time the best you
can and trust in Providence for Neil
to show up at the eleventh hour. I'm go

And accepting his partners view of

to the task of consuming time. He adj
| dressed himself to the impanelling of
a jury with drawing hesitancy, which,
| to the few among them who were
strangers to him, fairly suggested an
impediment in his speech. Had he been
called to cope with hopeless idiocy, he
could not have been more infinitely
pajnstaking in his deliberate eXplana-
ton ofsthe grounds upon which that

tireless suavity; by no possible chance
could any misunderstanding have lin
gered in the mind of the dullest. He
wavered uncertainty in respect to his
challenges; frequently he was inter

polling him to begin anew almost COM

were put in such searching, impressive

''Well, it might be worse" Carlton ex-
claimed in gloomy graduation as they
walked down the street together. "You
can easily use up couple of hours with
your opening speech, and get away with
the rest of the afternoon with what wit
nesses you've got, while if worst comes
to worst, you can of course demand a
non-suit. But it beats the deuce, /

IF you don't-Heaven help u.s." ejac-
ulated the other with disheartened
fervor.
News of Neirs disappearance had by
this time become noised about the
street, stirring up such excitement as
had not been known in Orodelphia for
many day. That he should volun-
tarily absent himself on such an occa
sion seemed almost out of the ques-
ton; but there were a few who found
the most reasonable solution of the
mystery in the beer which Neil was
reported to have drunk in the Tom
town saloon the evening before, the
mischievous character of the liquors
| dispensed in that establishment being
vouched for by many of sorry expert
enceS. Others leaned to the opinion,
| expressed in more cautious tones, that
Col. Randolph Meredith, if he would

versary's whereabouts, while a smaller
number, yet more chary of expressing

dent through any inadvertence on his
own part was generally dismissed as
untenable, Harvey Neil being credited
with abundant capacity for taking care
of himself under all ordinary circum.
stances; while even more preposterous
appeared the suggestion hazarded by
one or two excited imaginations that
! the young man, overwhelmed by sense
of defeat at finding his principal wit
ness flown, had simply thrown up the
sponge" and remained away from court
of his. own accord. Not a theory was
advanced which might not be beaten
down by another, that in turn to be
proved equally unstable; but that there
must have been foul play of some sor

vibrant with excitement, 81 have to
move for a continuance in this case
on the ground that our client is alb
sent. and we have reason to believe
is willfully and maliciously detained by
parties having an interest in withhold
ing his testimony from this suit. l
have just ascertained that Mr.. Neil dis
appeared from his room last night, after
having ordered his horse for seven
o'clock this morning, with the avowed
intention of making an early start to
be here before the opening of court.
A man was seen going toward his cabin
after he had retired for the night; but
so far as can be ascertained, nothing
has been seen of Mr.. Neil himself since
that hour. Parties are now searching
all the Silver Trail country to get some
trace of him, and he may be found
within the hour; but. pending his ar
rival, and in view of the fact that two
of our principal witnesses are likewise
unaccountably missing, I must beg for
continuance of this case"
But Mr.. Criley, of Denver, was upon
his feet ON the instant, excitedly pro
testing "Your honor" he cried, 81
must protest against any delay in try
| ing this case, as working unnecessary
| hardship to my client and others con-
cerned. My client has come on from
New York for the express purpose of
| being present at this time. He has in
contemplation trip to Europe which
| cannot be delayed without involving
possibilities of grave loss to him, while
several of our witnesses are from dis
| tance, brought together at this time
with more or less difficulty. In respect
to Mr.. Neil's disappearance, while from
some points of view it may be regarded
as peculiar at this juncture, yet 1 ven
| ture to suggest that the gentleman was
undoubtedly cognizant of the fact that
the case was set for this morning, and
if he is not here it may be certainly
within the range of possibility that
he has reasons of his own for absenting
| himself. We would most respectfully
call the attention of the court to the
| fact that no sufficient grounds have
been presented for granting a continu-
ance. Talk of malicious detention
hints and innuendoes, cannot be of
fered as valid reason for delay. On ou1
side we are ready to proceed, and on
behalf of my client most emphatically
protest against the granting of any con
| tinuance"
The judge looked deliberately from
one attorney to the other, absently
playing with a paper knife. did Mr.
Neil understand that the case was sci
for this morning?" he asked, coldly
! glancing at Donald Bartels.
''He did, your honor; and when he
left my office at four o'clock yester
day afternoon, he expressed his inten'
ton of being here, while, as before
stated, his purpose was further shown
in ordering his horse to be ready fol
