pARTY SPLIT
The Fusion Platform Demands Free
Coinage and Establishment of
the Referendum System

PORTLAND, Or, March 25.-The joint
Democrat and Silver Republican conven-
tions today unanimously agreed upon a
platform which was reported to the re-
spective conventions and adopted. When
nounced in the Populist convention eigh-
teen middle-of-the-road delegates left the
hail.
The platform demands the free and un-
restricted coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of sixteen to one, with
out waiting for the consent of foreign ma
tions; is unalterably opposed to the finan-
cial policy of the Republican adminstra-
ton and denounces the avowed attempt to
fasten the country irrevocably and for
ever to the single gold standard. Demands
are made for a national money, safe and
sound, issued by the general government

WONDERFUL MEMORIES
SHOWN BY WITNESSES IN THE
KASSON CASE
Very Accurate and Circumstantial,
but No Two Agree as to the
Facts That Occurred

STOCKTON, Cal, March 25.-It is doubt
ful If there has been another legal contest
waged in this state that has developed as
many surprises, such astonishing testi-
mony and dramatic incidents as the Kas-
son estate case now occupying the atten-
tion of Judge Jones and in which dozen
prominent attorneys have been engaged
for more than a week. 1t is remarkable
in many ways. The witnesses, though
truthful and sincere, have shown memories
that are most unusual and the facts told
by them have made up stories so strange
~ contradictory as to make the whole af-
fair appear more like an extravagant ro-
nance rather than collection of queer
facts. The various incidents, the many
phases and widely different complexion Of
the numerous circumstances in the case,
brought out with Kaleidoscope rapidity by
the testimony, have given to the contest all
the absorbing interest and exciting atmos-
phere contained in a well-constructed
drama.
A bombshell came and destroyed the
hopes of the contestants when Mrs. Mall
lory told her story. She declared she was
at one time the wife of George M. Kasson,
had lived with him as such during the
been born, and that she had never given
birth to child by kasson. She is a woman
IA years of age and astonished everybody
by the remarkably clear manner in which
she recounted all the principal events Of
her long life.
She was on the stand under cross-exam-
nation today for several hours, but in
spite of the tremendous and skillful efforts
of the attorneys who represent the other
side to shake her evidence. they have not
as yet snapped single link in the chain Of
her story.
The most important testimony in the
case today was that of Mrs. Sarah E.. Mil.
liken, a cousin of Geo. A. Lndy, claimant
in the case and the putative son of Thomas
Lindy. Mrs. Miliken swore that she fire..
quently saw Lindy at the breast Of his
mother Mrs. Lindy. and was present when
Mrs. Lndy commenced to wean him. The
mother of the witness had attended Mrs.
Lindy during her confinement.
A dramatic incident was the identifioa-
ton by Thomas Wilson, SO years of age, Of
the family record in the Indy Bible. He
had written the record fifty-one years ago.
He identified the handwriting as his own
but could not remember having written It,,
though that fact had already developed in
Lindys testimony. He was present at the
marriage of the Lindys and the Kassons
and knew all about the family affairs His
testimony was very unfavorable to the
I4indy claimants.
