PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 10.-Ex-
United States Senator Matthew 5. Quay

of vexatlous delay the trial of the two
defendants was begun.

authorized by law. This action practically
leaves the ex-senator alone on trial.
FIRST CLASH.
The only witness examined to-day-Mr.
BARLOW. receiver of tho Peoples Bank
led TO the first clash between counsel, and
indicated that a determined legal battle,
replete with knotty points Of law, Will be
fought. The District-Attorney called Mr..
Barlow TO identify books and papers
found by him when he assumed the re-
ceivership Mr.. Shapley, Of counsel for
the defence, undertook TO cross-examine
the witness with respect TO his knowledge
of whether certain books, which the de-
fence claims sre missing, are included in
those testified to by the witness. This
was objected to, and after repeated con-
situations among counsel for the defence,
and several other efforts TO obtain an
answer to the question in another form,
il was abandoned and Mr.. Shapley said
he would begin his cross-examlnation in
the morning.
