! Has there ever been q man in Ell
Paso who devoted more time to the
primaries than you?
! No, 1 expect not.
| Were you assisted by Burns?
| Yes.
Was MT Burns's influence consider
able?
Yes.
Those males that hung around his
houses of prostitution, didn't he get
them to attend every convention as de-
| legates?
1 can't remember.
This matter is of grave Importance
to me, Mr.. Patterson, and l wish you
would not make evasive replies to my
questions
It's of no more importance to you
than my oath is to me and l can't ans
wer that question without violating my
oath.
Haven't you and Burns taken as
many as IS Mexicans and hangers on
around the dives to the second ward at
one time and voted them?
Can't say as to the number.
Will you state that you have not?
interrupted by Judge Falvey who
said he could see no reason for the
question unless Mr.. Coldwell wanted to
be educated on primary methods.)
Coldwell:-As far as Ell PasO politi-
cal methods are concerned / must ad-
nit that l need education.
The court ruled that the question
was INN aterial to the issue, remarking,
that it was OF no moment whether 100
or 500 were voted, for there was no
political issue in the case that he knew
Of.
NEVER RECEIVED PAY.
The witness was then questioned
closely concerning the compensation
for his services to Burns. He estimat-
ed that $50 per month was cheap for
the service rendered, although he new
err had an understanding with Burns
or received any pay and stated that
whenever he preached the subject to
Burns, was put off and told that he
would be remem bered.
Did you ever request your pay?
L told him once l would like to get
the matter Strengthened up, but he
said he WAS in tight place and put
me off.
You never, if 1 understand you cor
rectly, made a direct demand for pay
ment.
II can't give an answer to suit you,
Mr.. Coldwell, without purjuring my
self and L certainly won't do that" re-
piled the witness, warming up.
That's physical impossibility, Mr..
Patterson" retorted Cold we'll.
Q.-When was the first time you saw
that will?
Al don't know
When was the first time you read it?
l don't know.

| that caused you to attach yourself to
him?

What was the first legal business
you had with Burns?
L don't remember.
Did he pay you for your services at
any time?
Don't think he ever paid me as much

business from 1890 until his death.
Did not Burns do great amount OF
business to protect lewd women and
men as his stock in trade?
Yes.
Wasn't that chiefly his legal bust
ness with you and did you not conduct
all that business for him?
Yes, no one was ever employed to
assist me that l can recall.
From 1890 you were his regular at
torney for that sort of business?
Yes, sir; don't remember single

not?

tions of prominence in directing local
political matters?

The primaries were the battle
ground, were they not?
Yes.
You and Burns tried to control the
primaries and direct the selection of
candidates, didn't you?
Yes.

1 can't remember.
Do you say that you can't remember
within ten days of the date you en-
ployed Stanton?
| 1 do.
Do you remember within ten days OF
the date OF your arrival In e Paso?
do not.
Didn't you come here a prisoner and
stay in Jail 20 or 80 days?
| Yes.
| Didn't staying in Jail make an i'm.
preston on your mind so that you can
remember when you arrived?
No.
Can't you remember when you were
in isil9
was in Jail last?" was the quick, angry
retort.
"My memory is not taxed to remem.
ber," answered the ex-alderman. warm
ing up, "but you will have occasion to
be taxed more before your career is
ended"

What did you say to Wallace when
he told you of the will?
1 can't recall the words; think said,
| Give it back to Burns. or something to
that extent-that 1 would rather Burns

cedipg trial where he said he had gone
to Burns in the spring of '9S while he
was sick in bed and asked him to settle
up for he might die and Burns replied
that witness would be remembered for
all legal services.
The attorney asked the witness if
that was his statement.

rected.

during April, 1898?

Mr.. Wallace was in East Texas. 1
heard OF Burns's death and went i'm
medistely to lawyer Stan tons Office and
inquired for the papers,; L did not see
hem there aud think Stanton went
with me to Falvey and Davis's Office;
don'E know that Stantoni went but
think he did. [ asked Judge Falvey If
he had any papers of ours He opened
his safe and fouod the white envelope

and for q full hour was kept in tur-
moil and euraged by the nature of the
questions fired at him. A part of the
time the witness apparently was gOad-
ed almost into frenzy of anger; his
eyes blezedand he seemedtO be control
ing himself only by a herculean effort.
His most common answer when pressed
too closely was II don't remember -
Odd you say Stanton informed you
that the will was at Falvey and Davis's
Office and went with you to look for
it?
Al don't remember what 1 said.
l believe you testified that he did!
l said thought he did.
Had Stanton any interest in hunting

Then you had no reason in going to
his Office except to look for the papers?

Didn't you say he went to Falvey and
Davis's Office with you?

What interest did he have in find

FIRED BY ELECTRICITY CAUSED
 THE MAINE EXPLOSION.
That is Said to be the Opinion of the Naval Officers and the Court of lnquiry-Havana Harbor Said to be Full of
 Mines.

HAVANA, March 2 (Via Key WesD. Without adding unnecessarily to the flood of surmlses, conjecture and prophecy concerning the finding Of the court of inquiry, it is fair to say that, as a matter of fact, most of the naval officers here and at Key West incline to the opinion that the court will find that the disaster to the Maine was caused by the explo- sion of floating submarine mine under the port sido of the ship for ward. Opinions differ as to wheth- CT this mine was made of high ex- plosive3, such as wet and dry gun cotton, or ordinary gunpowder.
 Opinions agree, not only as to the existence of mines in the harbor, but also that this one was laid purpose ly near the buoy where foreign war vessels were directed to m00fS and was fired from an electric battery on shore.
 It is believed barely possible that the explosion of the mine was the result of the carelessDess or igno, rance of Spanish officers in charge Of the mine starting keys when test ing the instrument, but the suppo- sition is not probable, It is further regarded as settled by the evidence before the court that the port side of the hull forward was completely blown to pieces and that the only explosion on tbe Maine, except of isolated cases of fixed ammunition, was that of 2000 pounds of shutting powder stored forward and of which no trace can be found.
 These views are gathered from of ficers wno talk with great reserve aud only upon the assurance that their identity will never be revealed. The fact remains that only the means of the court of inquiry know all the testimony elicited and no ore is authorized to make public matters in ad vance of the final judg- ment.

LARGER USE OF CORN,
National Organization Perfects Plans to Enlist Corn Grow CTS and Manufacturers
 of the Country.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2-Meetings of the subcommittee on organiza- tion, legislation and finance of the American Maize Probaganda, na- tional organization to promote the larger use of Indian corn in the Unit ed States and foreign countries, was held in this city yesterday to perfect the organization and mature plans for further action. Plans were for mulated by which it Is expected to secure the cooperation of every far 1 mer ill the country who produces corn, and of the manufacturers, who, by all known processes, prepare corn and corn-stalks forconsumption and commercial uses. Endorsement all ready received from press and people encourages the committee to believe that the consumption of corn will be greatly augmented and add a large percentage to the value of the crop.
 After the meeting President Carr said: "We have reason to believe that the membership of this organi- zation will soon include a very large proportion Of the corn-growing far mers of the country, together with the manufacturers of all kinds ofcorL products, in such q manner as to be potential in creating public senti
 ment and influencing such proper and wise legjsla tIJpa as nay be re quired to advance the interests 6t corn. We are now considering ar- ranginging a circuit of corn-cooking schools and corn food expositlons in all the principal cities. We believe that in this way we can bring the virtues of this crop directly to the knowledge of the masses who most iieed it. The national organization will be incorporated under the laws of Illinois, with its general offices in Chicago"
