swamp, near which there was a small creek, the

James Batcman of Haines street, Germantown,
stepped back into the shallow water his foot
began to sink into the sand at the bottom. No

Jumped into the bed OF the stream to help him.
Instantly the rescuer began to sink, his struggle
adding only TO the rapidity with which he was
disappearing beneath the surface. A crowd of
Ln'ookcrs standing on the bank OF the creek at
FIRST suspected that both men were shamming,
hut the horror depicted in their faces quickly
convinced them that both men were in peril Of
their lives.

MAD DAY FOR SP4LDISG.
The Judge Rules Against tho Defence In TN
pOrtant Law Points.

CHICAGO, June lG.-To-day's proceedings in
the S~palding embezlling case In the Criminal
Court were decidedly against the OK. banker and
Treasurer OF the state University. In passing
upon arguments of defendants counsel the
Court mado The eignitcant declarations that the
eX-President Of the Globe Savings Bank was
guilty OF cmbezlleInGnt the moment he hypothe-
Gated tbs bonds belonging TO the University of
Illinois. Throughout the session the defence
was repeatedly ruled against on vital points Of
law.
.SDalding himself was on the stand, but not a
single question did he answer freely; Attorney
Forrest argued all the morning on the question
rs TO whether Spalding's testimony regarding
his intention in hypothecating tho Pittsield
it was right for the witness to say that ne did
not intend to defraud WHOM he hypothecated the
bonds. When SpaldinR WAS turned over to the
State, Assistant states Attorney AlCEwen said
there would DO little or no crosse examination.
The close OF the trial is now somewhat In doubt,
owing to the upexpected time required to settle
points Of laWSa
