THE INTEREST Is UNABATED

AAOAo'
There is no abatement in the interest
manifested in the case of Thomas S.
Clark, now on trial in the United States
District Court on the charge of aiding
and abetting William N. Boggs in viii.
fully and unlawfully misapplying the
funds o. the First National Bank OF
Dover
The testimony of yesterday, however,
was not as salient as that of Thursday
and consequently the stills" between
John Biggs, counsel for the defendant,
and United States District Attorney
Lewis G. Vandegrift were few and far
between.
Both the counsel for the governm" mt
and defense are fighting the case hard
and every portion of the grourd covered
is fought inch by inch, and at present
the former apparently has the best Of the
argument at this time.

William N. Boggs also took the stand
and picked out the entries in the above
made by him.
The Judge ordered the books to remain
in the custody of the clerks during the
trial.
After the individual ledger had been
gone over Mr.. Vandegrift asked William
r. Boggs, who was on the stard, con-
cerning certain alleged irregular trans
actions, but Mr. Biggs objected to the
form Of question and the matter was
argued at length. The judge agreed with
him that the form of question was not
proper.
Mr.. Vandegrift then asked Boggs con-
cerning a $500 item Of October 18th,
1893, relating to certain horse racing
operations, asking who was interested.
"Thomas S. Clark, jefferson l.. Ford
and Charles II. Butler" he replied.
''What was it given for?"
'Part payment for the horse"
"Was there u man named Underwood
interested"'
"No, sir, think not"
"What were those checks with rea-
tion to J. Underwood"
~. Underwood was given charge OF
horse owned by Clark, Butler and J. L.
Ford, to be taken on western circuit.
