THE CADwALLADER TRIAL.
Testimony OF Teller Reeves and Mr
Edger, of the Redkey Bank.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WINCHESTER, Ind, Dec. 5.-The sec
ond witness introduced by the State in the
Cadwallader trial was Ed Reeves, teller
and assistant bookkeeper in the bank. He
is the man who gave so much valuable in
formation in the civil suit against the di-
rectors of the bank to recover $4,000. This
suit was brought by the receiver and tried
at Muncie, resulting in a verdict in favor
of the receiver and judgment for $4,000. Mr..
Reeves proved a somewhat reluctant wit
ness for the State, but was finally pre-
vailed upon to tell that the peculations by
himself and Cadwallader, the defendant,
had been carried on for years. and had been
covered up and concealed in the accounts
with correspondent banks. He also gave
further particulars of the false entry of
the $4,000 draft in favor of r. Kirchbaum &
Co. upon the irwin National Bank of New
York. He claims to have made full resti-
tuition to the bank of his shortage, by deed
ing to 1t the real estate of himself and
mother. He stated that at the suggestion of
Charles Cadwallader, when they saw that
disaster would soon overtake them, he left
Union City, going first to Indianapolis,
thence to st. Louis, and finally to Joplin,
NO. where he remained till after the fall
ure of the bank, when he returned, after
which Charles CadWallader very suddenly
disappeared and remained away until he
Mr.. Reeves claims that he overdrew his
account with the knowledge and approval
of Charles Cadwallader
Following Reeves the next witness was
George n. Edger, president of the Bank
of Redkey. Nlr. Edger is the gentleman
who was called to Union City and served
as cashier of the defunct bank for some
days before. 1T closed its doors and was in
charge at the time of its failure. He test-
fed to notifying Cadwallader that he,
Edger had been notified by his correspond
ent in New York that the Irwin National
Bank was refusing to honor the paper of
the Citizens Bank. In his testimony he
admitted that he went to Union City to
examine the accounts between the defunct
bank and the Irwin National, but he claimed
he got all his information from Charles
Cadwallader, who called the accounts from
the books and at the time informed him
that the balance due the Irwin National
Bank was S7700. AS the amount of
Reeves's shortage was only claimed to be
5000 this, on Cadwalader'S statement,
left $2.7O0 unaccounted for.
William X. Smith, one of the trustees of
the bank, was next called and testified
that no order was ever made by the
trustees permitting the defendant to over
draw his accounts with the bank or to bor
row on his own paper The trial will prob
ably continue for ten days yet.

problem on his own account is as follows:
He dined at the unearthly hour or 8 p. M,
and, with another fellow, set out upon tie
long and tiresome journey. 1T isn't neces-

expedition but suffice it to say they arrived

their way across the river at mucn
quicker tempo than the normal rate, ana
still training every nerve they threaded
their way successfully through the streets
of the City of Churches, by that time

PORTER LEAVES SANTIAGO.
The Special Commissioners Finds
Many AnnexatiOnists.


SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. 5-Robert B.
United States to Cuba and Porto Rico, gave
a farewell luncheon at the Venus Cafe yes
terday, at which twenty-five guests were
present including representatives of the
army and the navy, commercial and mining
industries, etc., and the British and French
consula The affair was not intended to be
anything more than a social gathering, but
the party speeches made it apparent that
twenty of the guests were in favor of Cuba
being annexed to the United States. Robert
Mason, the British consul, and who repre-
sented large business interests. spoke in
favor Of the continuance of the present good
government of the island by the American
officials. Mr. Porter was diplomatic in his
utterances, and refused to be drawn into
any direct statement on the subject under
discussion.
Mr. Porter left Santiago for Jamaica to-
day on board the Admiral Sampson, of the
American steamship line, en- route for the
United States He boarded the steamer off
FL Moro 1t is understood that Mr. Porter,
during his visit here, was impressed with
the necessity of having no supervision from
Havana of the administration of the civil
department here. In his opinion such super
vision would considerably hamper the move
ments of the Governor of the province. His
idea is that while the military authorities
should have supreme control with one head,
each civil department should be kept entirely
to itself in administration In Mr.. POrter's
opinion coal should be admitted duty free
for some time, in order that the valuable
timber which is now used for firewood
might be saved, which would be practicable
We're the duty taken off coal.

THEATER RUINED BY FIRE.
Narrow Escape of the ''DaVvn of Free

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Fire badly damaged
the Lincoln Theater at No. 46S North Clark
street, tonight. 1t was thought for a time
that the building would be destroyed, but
after a hard fight the fire department saved
it. The Westminster Hotel, adjoining the
theater. was damaged to the extent of $1,000.
1t was vacant and unfurnished. The even
ing performance had been concluded and the
audience had left the building but a few
minutes when the fire broke out. 1t spread
with great rapidity, and had it occurred ten
minutes earlier there must have been a
serious panic, with probable loss of life.
The members of the Dawn of Freedom
company, which is at the theater, were still
in the building and they were compelled to
make hasty exit, none of them saving any
considerable portion Of their clothing. 1T is
will amount to about $4,000, which is COW

BICYCLE CONTEST SCORES.
Pierce and Waller Leading I'm the Six
Day Race at New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Frank Waller, of
Boston, to-day broke the record in the six
day bicycle race at Madison-square Garden.
He left his wheel at 4:l0 o'clock this after
noon having ridden S14 miles and eight laps
in sixteen hours and ten minutes without
dismounting, beating last years record of
212 miles, made by Stephene. His record,
however, was broken by Pierce tonight.
Falls are more frequent this year than last.
Eight spills occurred to-day, but none of the
riders was seriously hurt. The garden was
filled with spectators all day and until a
late hour tonight. One of the early sur
prises, and great disappointment to his
many admirers, was the retirement of j.
Z. Rice, of Wukesbarre, Pa, who quit work
this morning, having found himself in no
state to continue the work.
A feature of the evening was to have been
a fVe-mile exhibition by Eddie McDuffee of
Boston. An unfortunate accident, however,
started to follow his pacenlakers the regular
six-day riders kept TO the inside of the
track. After McDuffee had gone about a
mile q tandem which was to have picked
him up at the Fourth-aVenue end of the gar
den slipped down the incline of the track
and the riders were thrown in a heap. One
of the pacemakers. w. III. Hicks, fell against
the post and received severe cut on the
head. Miller, one Of the siX-day men, ran
into the tandem and was thrown from his
machine. He was not badly hurt and quick
ly remounted- McDuffee was knocked
against Teddy Hale's wheel and dislocated
his right thumb.

broke the record before 10 o'clock tonight.
