FRESH INK MARKS.
They Are Damaging Evidence in the
Num- Case.

George Hemperly, one of the clerks in the
Office Of the clerk of curtis, was the first
witness for the prosecution in the A. H. Num-
forgery trial.
The witness retold the story to which he
ttestihed at the former trial. He had seen
e top of psre two 0 W Wadme with tRe
linquent tax list of 1895 Mr.. Num- had a
plotter In his left hand and after making
the marks, he blotted the place AS he did
so he turned around and saw Hemperly.
Nunn then turned several pages very rapid
Witness identified the blotter used, which
was was shown hin, him by Attorney Purdy. He
one, from pile of clean ones kept on a
table near by. Witness had charge Of the
vault, and each night destroyed all soled
The characterization by Attorney Brown
failed to shake Hemperly's story.
Walter Ryberg was then recalled to give
additional testimony for the state. He was
succeeded on the witness stand by Henry
]; Altnow, chief deputy in the office of the
clerk of courts. Mr.. Altnow's attention had
been called to the acts alleged to have been
committed by Mr.. Num-, by both Ryberg and
>1emperly, and he described how he had i'm
mediately gone into the vault and examined
the file cases, finding Volume I of the tax
lists of 1895 missing from It's place and all
the other books in their proper positions
Mr.. Num- had the volume in question in front
OF him at a table when witness was in the
room.
Altnow was on the stand until late in the
AFTERNOON, When the state sprung sur
prise on the defense by calling Rome G..
Brown, the defendants attorney, to testify
regarding the envelope and papers found by
Deputy Altnow in the waste paper room.
Mr.. Purdy tried to show by this witness
that when the envelope had been turned over
to him he had Immediately notified the de-
PENDANT and his counsel and had lost no
lime in turning the property over to its right
,iul owner.
:, Judge C. B. Elliot was on the witness sand
when court adjourned.
] An int -,
examination of Deputy Altnow. The court
tab was taken from in front of Clerk Ryberg
and shown to Altnow and he swore that the
Ink marks in the tax book, when he first saw
them, were Of lighter shade than any on the
tab. Ryberg was then recalled and swore
that the writing on the tab had been made
by him between 10 a. m. and 2:10. This is
a new point and valuable one as 1t would
seem from the testimony that the fresh marks
In the books could only have been made by
Num- the ink used in both cases was
Of the same kind.

cided to stand by the Phillips company and

AMERICAN INTERESTS SAFE.
Not Likely to Suffer by the Actor
of the Powers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE cabinet meet
ing today was attended by all the members
except Secretary Alger, who is still confined
to his house by illness. There was some
discussion of the remaining answers to be
made to the congressional resolution calling
upon the heads of the various executive de-
partments for an expression of opinion as
to the workings Of the civil service regula-
tions and inviting suggestions for their i'm
provement. The answers of the secretaries
OF the interior, navy ard war have been
withheld, and the subject was discussed to-
day with the purpose OF making sure that
there are no bread conflicts of expressed opin-
lon In the answers.
The important matter considered was the
Eastern situation, which was discussed at
some length. 1t appeared to be the opinion
of the secretary Of state and the members
generally that the gravity of the situation
was over-estimated. Germany's action, ii
thought, had no other purpose than the
acquisition Of a naval station, and did not
indicate that she had any Interior designs
upon Chinese territory. other than for the
purpose stated. Great Britain and the other
powers, 1t was thought, would be granted the
same concessions Germany had acquired, but
beyond this the European nations would not
seek to go. The opinion was also expressed
that the interests of the United States in
China were not at present in any sense in
volved, nor were they likely TO be.

the trolley wire. One end had been crossed
over the wire and the other lay on the
ground and just as a team of horses be-
longing to the Boyd Transfer company was
passing over the cable near the curbing the
trolley wire parted. The horse received a
severe shock and lay on the ground moan
ing in great agony, while beautiful display
of electrical fire and reports like cannon were
frightening the people and horses in the vi
cinity. However. the 'hurry-up" wagon soon
arrived, and the long string of blockaded
cars was allowed to pass. The horse was
severely shocked, but arose and quietly re-
sponded to the drivers Get up"

head, cutting deep gashes In the scalp. Cries
for help from the grocer called the neighbors
quickly to the scene, and the robbers fed
