SHARP CASE CLOSING.
End Nearly Reached in the Sensation
al Suit.

Fond du Lac, Wis, March 2S.--The
trial of Mrs, Rose Sharp of Oconto, ON
charge of throwing carbolic acid in
the eyes of y. H. Lynch, an attorney
of that city, and destroying his eye
sight was resumed Monday. Mr., Lynch
was led To the stand and the cross-ex
animation was continued. Mr.. Felker
tried TO get witness to admit that the
street on which the pepper throwing
took place was thickly populated, but
verified to the numerous visits paid de-
PENDANT by witness and questioned him
in regard to the talk between Mrs.
Sharp and himself as TO the rumors
current relating to their relations to-
ward each other AIR, Felker asked
tha witness; Did you not on one
occasion, while you were talking with
Mrs. sharp, put your arm around
HsF> ...,.,~,. =, -. To-
mo, sir"
Did she not at that time tell you
not to come and see her again il you
were going to act that way?'
No. sir"
Did you not, in the latter part Of
January, 1897, have a conversation
with her similar to this?'
No, sir"
"A few days after that, did she not
tell You that she had heard you We're
spreading reports derogatory to her
character?
No, sir, she never told me,
"On the day she locked you in her
room where did she put the key?
Il don't know, but she found it
readily when she wanted It.
Did she tell You then that she had
heard you were spreading stories
about herr
No sir.
How many times did you go to the
Office without any note from herr"
ooh, don't know sometimes every
day; later went to Twins to wait for
the mail"
This morning Charles w. Felker and
Gen. Bragg will introduce witnesses for
the defense by whom they expect to
prove that Mrs. Sharp was not at the
scene of either the pepper throwing or
the carboic acid throwing assault
The testimony regarding the actual
demonstrations of affection on the part
Of Mrs. Sharp for Mr.. Lynch has been
somewhat weak and the defense will
no doubt endeavor to ridicule what
evidence has already been taken. The
defense expects to prove that there
was another woman in the case, to
whom Mr. Lynch was at one time en-
gagged to be married, They will also
attempt to show that at the exact time
the assault Is said to have been com
mitteo Mrs Sharp was at home In her
rooms and in bed, and also that she
was i'll and did not go out on the even
ing the crime was committed. They
expect also to establish the fact that
on the numerous occasions 1t has been
shown that Lynch was asked to come
and see her, she invited him for the
purpose Of discussing with him a law
suit at that time pending, in which Mr.
Lynch was engaged as her attorney.

the resolutions offered at the late meet
ing of the Democratic State Central
Committee. instructing the various
city and county committees to hold
primaries, and for the holding of a
state convention to nominate u. >.
Senator. My reasons are these. The
committees all over the State have the
power already to order primaries when
in their wisdom they deem it wise to
do so, and l was not disposed if we
had the power, which / doubted, to
seemingly interfere with their local
rights.
l voted for the calling of cOnven-
tion because | believed the committee
had the power to make such a call, and
have always believed whenever it was
possible the whole people should share
in all matters pertaining to the public
welfare.
would also state that at the May
meeting the request to the state COM
mittee as it came originally from the
committee appointed to draft it, asked
for the holding of primary or state
convention, aud that part asking for
the holding of primary was stricken
out, it being generally held that the
committee had not the power to grant
such request
