Did anyone ever go up 10 your knowi-
edge?"
NO one ever went 10 the rooms that l
know Of"
Did all of the jurors sleep in one room
Yes; they all slept in cGle room IL was
two rooms thrown into one. and the deputy
marshal that had charge Of lhe jurors had
the keys"
DO you know that they slept in one
. ROOM"
Yes; at least that was the idea"
Would IL have been possible for anyone
10 go to ths rooms at night without your
knowledge"
Yes. but that is not likely. Mayes. the
deputy. took them out in the back yard
and up and down the street for exercise.
Mr.. Darraph stopped at the same hotel
during the trial. The jurors ate at separate
tables. 1t is Il well known fact that some
OF the guests of the hotel have expressed
opinions on the public streets of the city
OF Independence that rarraeh ought 10 be

SHAMEFUL.

It is very hard for an old copper
head to forgive Union soldier, who
was active and efficient during the
war; most particularly is it hard for
the copperhead Of the St Louis Re.
public to forgive General Alger for
his good services in behalf of the
Union. No sooner was the announce
ment made, that General Alger would
be McKinley's Secretary Of War than
the Republic published an editorial
intimating that the records In the
War department show that General
Ayers military conduct was thor
oughly displeasing to Custer, Sher-
idan and Merritt; that General Alger
showed an irresistible disposition to
disobey orders and absent himself
from the field of battle; that when
not on the sick list Ayers chosen
field of activity was Washington
city, where he would be free from
the annoyance Of flying bullets.
The truth is that General Alger's
soldier record is one that any soldier
might be proud Of. He was promoted
on the recommendations of Sheridan
and Custer, and these officers were his
most devoted friends as long as they
lived. Instead of being at Wash
ington he was in the field, except
when he was suffering from wounds,
The official reports show that he was
complimented for his good work al
Bonneville, Miss, July LIST, 1852, by
General Sheridan: that he was spe
cially mentioned In General Clusters
report Of the cavalry operations al
Gettysburg, and that he was promot
ed on the recommendation of Gen
eral Sheridan for his gallantry II
the Shenandoah Valley campaign II
1864.
General Alger has been a favoritt
with old soldiers of the Union army
because they know his army records
and because they appreciated his sol
dierly qualities and his generou
sympathy for unfortunate veterans
It is q shame and an outrage that a
this late day any Ishmaelite shoul,
raise his hand against such splendit
soldier as was General Alger. -Glob
