KENNEY TRIAL CLOSING.
Counsel Spent the Day in Making
Their Arguments.

WILMINGTON. Del, July 20.-District
Attorney Vandegrift today in the United
States circuit court resumed his opening
address to the jury in the case Of United
States Senator Richard R. Kenney. who is
charged with aiding in the misapplication
of funds of the First National. Bank of
Dover Prior to his speaking. application
was made to the court in behalf of the
others who have been indicted as a result
of William N. Boggs defalcations, asking
for a postponement of the trial of their
cases until October term of court. Judge
Bradford agreed to the postponement
should the sureties offered be satisfactory
The others indicted are Charles H But
Ter, W. Z. Cotter, J. Frank Alice, John
Megongal. and H. H. Ford.
Mr.. Vandegrift spoke for over one hour. He
said that the case against the senator was
more one of misapplication than abstrac-
ton, and told the jury that the checks
passing between Kenney and Boggs, other
than those mentioned in the Indictment
had been introduced to indicate the refa-
tons between the two. They indicated, he
said, the intent of the defendant to aid
Boggs in the work of misapplying the
funds.
Mr. Vandegrift said If there was no ar
rangement between Boggs and Kenney
why old the latter permit Boggs to enter
deposits to the defendants credit when no
deposit was made and pay the defendants
checks when he had no funds?
Mr. Bird, foc the defense, denounced
the ecutton one of the most infa-
nous ir the history of the county; the
pres ecution, he said, of prominent citizen
of the station and nation. He denounced
Teller Boggs as unworthy of belief, and in
timated that his motive in returning from
fight was other than a purpose to stand
the punishment he deserved.
Mr.. Bird attacked the credibility of
Boggs by quoting from the testimony GER
tain portions which, he said. indicated
Boggs was falsely swearing He dwelt at
length upon the fact that the bank lost
nothing by what he admitted were over
drafts by the defendant and denied that
such overdrafts criminally implicated Sen
ator kenney. Court then took recess.

back. He believed he was dying, but said
If he was to die he would do the Spaniards
as much damage as possible before leaving.
He continued to fire and sent forty-five
bullets at the enemy before being taken
away. At first, after receiving his wound.
he was in a dazed condition. but after he
recovered somewhat he shot straight.
Hamilton Fish died few minutes after
receiving his wound. I passed him just
afterThe was shot, and directed some Of
the Skirmishers where to move. He thought
l was speaking to him, and, raising himself
or his elbow, said: EN- wounded, / am
wounded" He died a few minutes after
that.
I'VE thought at first that the Spaniards
were using explosive bullets. but we found
they were merely brass-covered bullets.
When they would strike the brass covering
would spread, and the result was ccnsid-
cradle 1aceration
DIR. Church of Washington behaved ma g.
nificently during the fight He went into
the firing line and carried the wounded off
the field on his back.
Sergeant Diiiwyn Bell a son of former
supervising architect of the treasury, was
wounded on his twenty first birthday.

ing Purchaser.
A case was tried before Justice Lewis l.
ONeal today which involved the right of
trustees under chancery decree to sue a
defaulting purchaser for loss occasioned
by resale. The cause was that of Messrs
Charles H. Cragin and Wilton j. Lambert
trustees, against James E. Connolly. 1t
was claimed that Messrs. Cragin and Lam
bert offered a house on K street. for sale
under decree of the Equity Court and that
Mr. Connolly became the purchaser, but
after depositing 800 failed to comply with
the terms of sale, whereupon the trustees
resold the property at a lower price, and
upon reporting to the Equity Court Judge
Hagner ordered them to bring the present
suit for $500 on account of the difference
between the two sales. The case was ar
gued at length by Mr.. W. ]. Lambert on
behalf of the trustees and by Mr.. N J.

chaser. Justice O'Neal has reserved his

Those Who Opposed It Are Now

VIEWS IN THE CABIN EFT

Some members OF the cabinet regret that
the Cubans have not shown themselves
fully in harmony with the work of our
soldiers in Cuba. and they hope that the
friction which seems to be increasing each
day viii wear away. At the same ;ime
the apprehension is strong that the Cubans
VIII rot act in way to gain the conf
derce of this coui try, and that the out
come will be far different from the general
eH pectation before the war opened.
There is as yet no opposition from any
direction to giving the Cubans their indie
pendence. The hope is entertained that
this country will be permitted to carry out
its original intentions as to Cuba, express
ed by joint resolution of Congress. ard that
for many years the island will be peaceful
and prosperous and an agreeable neighhor
to the United States. But if the Cubans
persist in their resent course this eoun-
try may be compelled to change its plans

Great satisfaction is expressed by cabinet
officers who are close to the President that
