Cleveland. Ohio, Oct. 29.-Wm. J. Bry-
an addressed several meetings through
the state yesterday on his campaigning
tour in which he discussed the silver
question in all its phases and reviewed
the record of President Mckinley dur
ing the first six months of his admins
tratiOn.
He said: 1.-The gold standard was
conceived in avarice, fastened upon the
people by stealth, continued by fraud
and it's high priest was Hanna.
Mr.. Bryan warned his hearers
against fraud in Ohio. He said the

last November as expected but the
Republicans got many more than there
was any reason to expect.

| sheets. He picked 10 up, more from Gu
riosity than interest, but after he had
read il his manner showed at once that
he thought it important. Burrows look
ed at him inquiringly. but for a mo-
ment Mr.. Barnes did not heed him. He
was looking at the table before him
and seemed studying the situation. AT
length he spoke:
"Miss Lewis has destroyed or re-
moved another clew. See this" He
handed the piece Of paper to Burrows,
who took i. and read as follows:
eff l am dead in the morning, my
murderer is
The word lis" was followed by a
huge blot, as though the pen had splut-
tered mt that point. Burrows looked at
Mr.. Barnes in silence, and the latter
continues:
"Alr Lewis was not killed outright.
He even saw and recognized his muir
derer. He attempted To warn his friends
and insure justice. Fearing death be-
fore aid would reach him, he wrote
that. Evidently excited, perhaps al
ready growing weak, as he reached the
name of his assailant his hand trem-
bled, his pen spluttered and he threw
it from him. Here it is, lying on
piece of paper, which it has blotted
where it fell. However, he essayed
again, and this time he succeeded, for
see he has placed the second pen care
fully, the point on the edge of the ink
well, proving that he finished his note
of warning. Miss Lewis undoubtedly
found it. She read the name. Whose
was it? Her own or Marvel's? If any
other, why should she remove it?''
What would Miss Lewis do if you
showed her this paper and demanded
the other?"
81 cannot tell. She might deny hav-
ing it. She might admit taking it and
refuse to yield possession Of it. She
might treat me with scorn and deny
my right TO question her on the subject
at all. However, l may conclude TO
test her. | may ask her the question.
Burrows stood thinking and looking
down, when suddenly he noticed some.
thing ON the floor which attracted his
attention. He stopped to examine it
and then called Mr. Barnes, who was
still absorbed in the table and its con-
tents. Mr.. Barnes joined him and
looked at what Burrows picked up
some bits of plastering. Both simulta-
neously looked upward and saw just
over their heads small hole in the
ceiling.
1.-The mark of bullet" said Mr..
Barnes. He walked over to the win
dow, where he stood for minute, alter
nately looking out and at the bullet
hole in the plastering. THAT shot
came from without, passed through this
window and struck as we see overhead.
The summer house there is just in the
line. Evidently there was more than
one shot fired, for that ball could not
have passed entirely through the body
and then have continued upward.
"Shall we examine the grounds
now?" said Burrows.

we can at present in here.
Followed by his companion, Mr..
Barnes then led the way out of the
house.
