New York. June ia dispatch to the

Barney Barnato's right name was
Barney Isaacs. His father and our
mother were brother and sister," said
Barnett Meyers. I'VE grew up together
in London, and my brother and myself
came here with our parents about 10
years ago
"A short time before we started for
America met Barney Isaacs on the
street. He shouted across the street
TO me, How do you do. Barney?
And 1 shouted back, 'Howdy do,
Barney?'
what are you going to America
for?' he asked. You can't get ahead
over there
'Ch, I want to go to America. I
think there is a good show there,
said ::
Better come to south Africa with
me-. said Barney. There's lots of money
to be made there
No; 1 choose America 1 replied.
Barney was poor then, and he was
a beggar. 1 called at one of his offices
in London three or four years ago, and
when 1 came away he gave me SIPS. L

1t was a seven-inning game and was
full of fun from start to finish. The

many times in succession as the ball
flew from the bat to the outfield. Just
think of having II men at bat in one
inningi
To write up this game by detail
would be too much. Let the record
stand by innings. In the first The Her
aid shut out the other fellows without
a score and made nine. The faces Of
the News men looked as blank as the
O'Clock edition. In the second the
News made a run on an error of The
Herald, and there was great joy In the
camp CT the enemy. James offering TO
bet an ice cream soda against pack
age of crisDettes his side would win,
with all the advantage The Herald had.
No one took this rash challenge and
James rode home on car as result
Of the forethought and sympathy of
those who might have taken his hard
earned wealth.
To add to his glee The Herald didn't
make run in its half and News hats
filed the air, While Beesley of the In
structor, who came down to see the
champions defeated, fairly rolled on the
grass III the excess of his joy.
In the next inning matters were diff
ferent. The Herald scored one and shut
the other fellows out. The gloom was
so thick that lanterns had to be lit for
the felders to find the bail. In the
fourth the score was one each. In the
fifth the News opened by making three
and again did the voice OF James SPLIT
the air with its shrill whoops Of iollv
triumph. His paean was changed TO a
dirge when The Herald came 10 the bat
and made six. This was the time Han
sen determined 10 hedge. He inmedi-
ately began giving odds on The Herald
and right wise was the city editor in
so doing.
In the next the News made one and
The Herald three. In the last bo-h
made three each and the game was
over. Score, 20 70 Q.

witness before adjournment yesterday.
which had been taken from the person
of the deceased, were then read to IL
jury. Many of them had no bearing
whatever upon the case and none
tended TO elucidate the mystery.
Isaac Rafael testified to having sold
some clothes to Mrs. Hoffman shortly
before the date of the tragedy. and 70
having seen Hoffman On the Saturday
preceding his death. He was then in
the best of spirits apparently and spoke
of his wife and her affiiction of deaf
ness most kindly.
Chief Lees, on being recalled, stated
that after learning of the tragedy he
had called up Figel by telephone to
see whether or not he was at home.
although the suicide theory seemed to
be the only one tenable at that time.
In response to the demand of the cor
ener the witness produced the bank
books of tl1S.sirm. which had been kept
by Figel AID turned over to him. He
stated that at the instance of Attorney
Ach he had asked the bank to fix UP
the firms accounts and had receipte,i
for them. They were then read to the
Jurors and showed that Figel kept two
accounts and had deposited large sums
to his own account during January
and February, amounting to over
$4,000.
At his own request NJ. NJ. Rice was
recalled for the purpose of explaining
his testimony of the previous day. He
stated that since he mad been on the
stand he had seen Figel for the first
time and was satisfied that Figel was
not one of the two men whom he had
seen standing in front of Hoffman's
Office on the evening of the tragedy.
John Lauer. the drayHan, testified
that he stood in front of the store with
Hoffman on the evening of June l and
that his employer borrowed $40 from
him. Hoffman told him that he was
waiting for F'igel and did not appear
to be nervous or excited.
