Charleston, w. Va, January Is
When the trial of J. w. Goshorn came
on to-day, Samuel G. Burdette, who
has been conducting the prosecution,
could not be found Whether he was
away from the city was not stated,
though it was understood that he was
in Parkersburg attending the Federal
court.
After arguing with the counsel for
the defendant that the trial of the case
should begin January %, Mr.. Burdette
absented himself from the city with
out notice or explanation to the court
or the attorneys on the other side.
The attorneys for the defendant
clamored for trial, and plainly told
the court that they would not be baf-
fed that way. They had shown in the
arguments upon the demurrer that
there was nothing in law in these in
dictments against Goshorn, and now
they wanted an opportunity to show
that there was nothing in them in
fact
They told the court further that
they were ready to prove that the in
dictments were the result of a con-
spiracy formed by a number of men
to break up Mr. Goshorn. and intimat-
ed that the conspirators seeing they
could not convict him, were seeking
to annoy and injure him by postpon-
ing the trial from time to time.
1t seems that members of the Repub-
lican gang known as the hog COM
bine,' fear they have got their foot in
it, and are trying to hedge. They are
frightened by the information that
certain things will be proven on the
witness stand that they do not want
to get to the ears of the public
Frank G. Burdette. the nominal pro-
scouting attorney, is said to be con-
fined to his room by sickness, but as
he has had no connection with this
case. the prosecution being conducted
by his father, S. c.. Burdette, his pres
ence was not deemed necessary.
In compliance with the demand
made by the attorneys for the defend
ant. Judge Hall appointed A. c. Blair
to conduct the prosecution and ad-
iourned the court till next Tuesday
morning.

that he admitted as much, that he ac-
knowledged he had promised the place

finally that he would withdraw Crum-,
baugh's name from the Senate and
nominate Capt. Rathbone, Of Writ
county, the West Virginia candidate,
when the term of Capt Chancellor eX-
pired in April. It is now said that the
President has told Senator Deboe, Of
Kentucky, he means to stand by the
nomination of Crumbaugh, whom he
regards as an entirely competent man
for the place, as he is a graduate Of
the Annapolis naval academy and 9th
er institutions that would specially fit
him for the duties of steamboat in
spector. So it is probable that if Sci

bination to defeat the nomination in
the Senate. This it is altogether un-
likely the Senator viii attempt to do,
and much more unlikely that he would
succeed in it if he should attempt it.
Crumbaugh will be Chancellor's sue
cessor unless an amicabe arrangement
can be made with the President ara
his friends whereby he can be glyea

Love-Aranguren's Body Viewed
by 1000 Persons.
Havana, January 28.-Further de-
tails regarding the killing of Nestor
Aranguren, the insurgent brigadier
general, known as the Sheridan of
Cuba have been received. They
show that Col Aransabe, of the Span
ish forces had known for some time
that Aranguren was in the habit of
visiting his mistress in a hut in the
Tapaste hills, and the day before yes
terday he ordered three columns of
troops, reinforced by cavalry, to sur
prise the insurgent chief, with the re-
suit that the latter was shot and killed
with one of his companions. The
troops also captured two women and
the father of Arangurens mistress,
who is described as being the dyna
inter of the band.
About 1900 persons have visited the
morgue where the body of Aranguren
lies exposed, among them being many
ladies, the uncle of the deceased, Jose
Maria Aranguren, and his nephew,
Nestor Aranguren.
1t is said that the mistress of Aran
guren and another woman, who were
both wounded when the insurgent
chief was captured, have since died Of
their injuries.
Aranguren, it is now stated, was shot
while he was writing. The remains of
Aranguren will be quietly buried to-
day.
The Spanish authorities say that
among the papers which fell into the
hands of the troops when Aranguren
was killed. was his diary showing that
he ordered the execution of Lieut.-Col.
Ruiz.
The remains were identified by the
chief of the fire department, several
officers and a number Of firemen, as
well as by his relatives. There is con-
siderable comment in different circles
here at the fact, which is now being
pointed out, that nearly all the insur-
gent chiefs of the province of Havana
have been killed, owing to their visit
ing their mistresses.
Another fact which is being COM
mented upon considerably in social cir
Giles is that the bishop of Havana has
visited all the secretaries of the au-
tonomous government, while, although
two weeks have elapsed since he did
so, the secretaries have not returned
his visit.

$1,000 in Cash Promptly, or Hav-
ing His Brains Blown Out-Hand-
ed Him a Letter in Which the
Declaration to Do Murder If tie
Money Was Not Forthcoming,
Was Made-Said He Was Hired
to Do the Deed, But Would Bath
er Be Paid for Not Killing Than
for Killing.
st. Louis, January 2S.-The case OF
the young man who was arrested IN
an attempt to hold up President Ma
dill, of the Union Trust Company, last
Tuesday, and secured $4,000 at the
point of a pistol, is as mysterious as
ever.
To-day, the following letter, which
was handed to Mr.. Madill by the man
at the time of the attempt, was made
public for the first time:
Mr.. Madill-I have been employed
to come here on a most unusual err
rand, which, though very distasteful.
is very urgent. To save words, have
tried to put the nature of my bust
ness in writing, which l want you to
read from beginning to end before
making any comments, for the end
may seem brighter than the begin
ming; l will tell you now that l stand
ready to blow your brains out if you
make the slightest cutlery, so I warn
you not to do so.
''Mr. Madill, l have been employed
to murder you by two people whom l
suppose will benefit richly by your
death, for they have offered me $1,000
to kill you. 1t was planned to kill you
at night, but before committing such
a crime | decided to first come here
and give you a chance to save your
life. l am desperate man, desperate
for money, and when l tell you that
must have that money to save ny life
you will understand why | am willing
to commit murder and take a chance
at the gallows to get it. Mr.. Madill, I
do not want to kill you. l am doing
this for money only, and if you want
to- save your life there is but one
method, and that is by advancing me
$4,000 l am not a common criminal
Mr.. Madill, and do not wish to either
kill or rob you, and if you pay me the
money and promise me not to try tc
prosecute me, will promise you upon
the honor of man to repay every cent
of it to you.
''Mr. Madill, think you understand
the situation 1t is a matter Of money
or death. If you want your life
spared, say so. If not, say so, and may
God be with your soul if you say no."
The would-be robber, who still re-
fuses to give his right name, exactly
duplicated the performance of the
mysterious man who robbed President
Moffat, of the Denver Bank, on Mai ch
20, 1889, of s21, 1000.
