SENATOR KINNEY N THE HOLE
STOOD IN WITH THE DEFAULT
ING TELLER.
Damaging Testimony Against the
Member From Delaware-Boggs
the Dsfaulter, On the Stand.

Wilmington, Del, July 13.-The third
day in the trial of United States Sen
ator Kenney of Delaware, charged with
aiding and abetting the self-confessed
/ teller of the First National bank of
/ Dover, William N. Boggs, in defraud-
/ ing that institution of over 500 900,
] opened today with further testimony
relating to Senator Kenney's individual
account with the bank
During the moments prior to the
opening of court, Senator Kenney, pale
and apparently nervous, assisted his
counsel Senator Gray and Lieutenant
Bird, in arranging the papers of the
defense.
William n. Boggs, the defaulting
| teller, was on the stand for over three
hours, during which he told of the
manner in which he carried along
checks of Senator Kenneys received
from ether banks and credited deposits
for him when he had oVerdraWn his
account and while Boggs was a de-
faulter in large sums of money. That
he was defaulter, witness said, was
known to the senator, and when asked
why he carried the defendants checks
along for weeks without charging
them, he said it was because I'VE were
all in the hole together"
During nearly all the period in which
the witness defalcations took place he
said, Senator Kenney was cognizant of
the fact AS to his custom in dealing
with Senator kenneys checks, he said.
If the account was not good for them,
he would pay them out of the funds of
the bank by carrying the check as a
cash item from day to day, or with
holding the deposit slip of another de-
positor. He said Senator Kenney first
knew of his being a defaulter in Oc-
tober, 1895, when he was short about
$4,000 or $4,000. He felt Kenney was
the man to confide in, their relations
were SO intimate. The senator and
Boggs formulated plan to restore the
deficiency. To do this, the witness in
vested bonds in Bay State gas stock.
building operations in Philadelphia and
farm in Delaware. Kenney, the wit
ness said. dealt in Bay State Gas at
the same time with him. and they Of
ten discussed the probabilities of MAX
ing money. Witness said that in jan
uary, 1897, Senator Kenney expressed
hope that money enough would be
made to sget them both out of the hole.

Actual Punishment Melted Out to a

"A great book is a great evil" is an
ancient maxim which an unfortunate
Russian author felt to his cost, saws
the Detroit Free Press. while I was
at Moscow" writes traveller. "a VOL
ume was published in favor of the lib
erty OF the people; in this book, the
iniquitous conduct of the public func-
tionaries and even of Tie SOVEREIGN
was censured severely. The book ere
ated great indignation, and the Offend
er was at once taken in custody. After
being tried in summary way, he was
condemned to eat his own words, A
scaffold was erected.in a public square
the imperial provost, the magistrates
and the physicians of the car attend
ing; the book was separated from the
binding and the margin cut off. The
author was then served leaf by leaf
by the provost and was obliged to
swallow this unpalatable stuff on pain
of the knout, more feared in Russia
than death. AS soon as the medica!
gentlemen were of the opinion that he
had eaten as much as he could with
safety, the transgressor was returned
to prison. This punishment was re-
newed the following day, until after
several hearty meals, every leaf of the
book was actually swallowed.
