tered on his two grandchildren, the
sons of the plaintiff. Finally there was
a settlement between William and
Samuel. They met at Gawns house
and Mrs. Murdock was present when,
in the settlement, the balance was
struck at 100000. At Samuel's request
the note was made payable to Mrs.
MurdOck, but was to be for the benefit
of the two grandSOns, Edwin and Stan
ley. The note was made payable tWen-
ty years after date, so as to fall due
about the time the boys became of age.
AS to the interest rate Attorney Can
non said the usual rates in those days
We're from IA to Ia per cent month
and the rate given in the note really
was lower than usual. subsequently,
and up to the time of William Muir
docks death, Mr.. Cannon said, it would
be proved beyond dispute that William
admitted at various times the execu-
tion of the note and the facts as to the
consideration.
The attorney said he would show that
Mrs. Murdock, the payee, took the
note and that it was buried on the
premises. The note was wrapped or
rolled around a pencil then placed in
a vial, corked and sealed; then placed
in a larger bottle and corked and then
in another bottle, also corked. This
bottle was placed in a, tin can, which
was topped with a saucer, and buried.
1t remained buried for ten or eleven
years-until 1887 or 1888. Attorney Can
non said he would prove that one of the
executors, before the existence of the
note was made public. acknowledged
that he knew of it and that, If Murdoch
had lived one week longer the note
would have been compromised. Said
Mr. Cannon:
"The issue in this case is clearly
drawn. On the one hand the jury will
be called upon to say whether it ac-
cepts the sworn testimony of the peo-
pie whose reputation for truth, honesty
and integrity is beyond reproach; the
testimony Of witnesses who will give
facts which came under their own OBJ
serVation; or whether the jury will ac-
cept the opinions, differences and de-
ductions of experts who do not testify
as to facts and who are hired by the
defense in this case to come into court
and swear this note out of court and
swear the charge of forgery upon the
plaintiff in this action at so much per
swear"
GAVIN Murdoch, husband of the
plaintiff, was the first witness called.
He told of the business transactions
between his father and William Muir
dock. He identified the note as the one
signed by William Murdock in 1877.
Grove l.. Johnson, for the plaintiff,
asked that the note be introduced in
evidence. This was objected to by
General Barnes, on behalf of the de-
PENDANTS, on the ground that the note
could not be introduced, as the claim
never had been properly presented to
the executors. The argument on this
question will take place tomorrow, the
jury having been excused until 2
o'clock If the defendants point is
good the case ends. Plaintiffs attor
neys, however, contend that it certainly
will be knocked out.

PHILADELPHIA, April 10-Ex-Sen-

Court of Quarter Sessions to-day, and
after many months of vexatious delay
the trial of the two defendants was
begun.

were not in the case were denied ad-

more than half filled and the greater
portion of those present were witnesses.
Judge Biddle, one of the oldest and
most respected members on the bench,
was the trial judge. District Attorney

" " case, involving the validity
of a note for 100000, with
interest amounting to S25O,000, alleged
to have been drawn by the late Will
liam Murdock in favor of Mrs. GAVIN
Murdoch, the wife of relative, began
in the Superior Court here to-day
There was an immense array of legal
talent on either side. Attorney Will
liam Cannon, in his opening statement
to the jury, gave for the first time the
facts regarding the note which is al
legged by the defense to be forgery
He declared the paper was executed by
William Murdoch in settlement of
money due the decedent's brother
Samuel. The latter requested that the
note be made out in favor of his daugh-
ter-in-laW, to become due at about the
time his grandchildren became of age.
This was done and before the note be-
came due and was presented William
Murdock died.
Mr.. Cannon said the note bore date
of September 5, 1877, and was for $780,
600. payable twenty years after date,
with interest at 1 per cent a month.
He told of William Murdock coming to
this section in early days; how he
raised cattle and sheep and acquired
land. He had a cousin, Samuel Muir
dock, who had a son, GAVIN w. Muir
dock husband of the plaintiff. Mr.. and
Mrs. GAVIN Murdock had two sons,
Stanley and Edwin. Explaining the
consideration for which the note was
given Attorney Cannon went back to
the time of 1S61-62. Samuel Murdoch
was raising sheep. He loaned William
$4,000 After this and up to 1877 he
loaned William other large sums of
money, as there was a big profit in wool
and sheep and these profits were placed
in Williams hands. GAVIN went into
partnership with his father and OBJ
jected to turning over the earnings to
william A bitter feeling sprang up
between GAVIN and his father on this
account. In 1876 the partnership was
dissolved. A settlement was effected
in 1876, by which GAVIN agreed to pay
to his father $4,000 for his interest
This amount was turned over to VIII
liam by Samuel Between 1876 and
1877, when the note in controversy is
alleged to have been made, the feeling
between father and son became so bit
ter that Samuel left the house of GAVIN
and stayed with his cousin, William,
for two months. During this stay Will
liam told Samuel that GAVIN had not
made a just settlement with him. GAVIN
was threatened with a lawsuit, and to
avoid 1t paid his father $4,000 in cash
and notes This was a short time prior
to the execution of the 100000 note by
William Murdoch to GAVIN Murdock' 8
wife.
Samuel had returned to Gawn's house
in the meanwhile. Mary Helen Muir

were always friendly and the affec-
tons of William Murdock seemed CEN

many documents, but that no important
communication could have escaped.
To this NJ Casimir-Perier answered that
happily the document was not regarded
as important and that neither he nor
the Government desired to implicate the
German embassy in the affair; that moth
ing had been proved to show that the en-
bassy solicited the document and the
Government did not wish to hold the en-
bassy or themselves responsible for pa
pers thus conveyed 1t was Suff1cient-the
papers having been found at foreign
embassy and presumably emanating from
a French off1cer-to fix the guilt of that
officer.
''As Count Won Munster insisted on OBJ
tanning q note categorically eXculpating
the Embassy" continued NJ. Casimir
Perier, 'I suggested that it would be
unnecessary to indicate the Germany En-
bassy alone, but that all the embassies
and legations in Paris should be included
as each might remain under suspicion If
the German alone were exculpated. Such

suggested that it need not differ from
similar notes previously issued. On the
ambassadors request l appointed another
ell, but a few days later Count Won Nun
ster informed me that the incident might
be regarded as closed"
NJ. Casimir-Perier, continuing, said he
had only heard of a single secret docu-
nent, the one containing the expression,
"Cette canaille de D. deviont rooloment
trop exigeante" Chat beast of a D. is
really becoming very exacting). General

to the court-martial, but he M. Caslmir-
Perier) did not understand that the docu-
ment was only submitted to the judges
Reverting to his interview with Count
Won Munster. M. CasimrPerler said he
desired to place 1t upon record that an
act of treason had not placed foreign
power in possession of important doc
uments affecting the national security.
Some days after Dreyfus was con
demned General MERCER spoke to him
concerning confessions by Dreyfus, but
he could not remember that Captain Le-
brun Renaud ever came to the Elysee
Palace to inform him of these avowals.
The confessions having been published,
Captain Lebrun Renaud was sent to the
ElYsee to be reprimanded. He did not
deny his indiscretions to the press, but
said nothing about any confessions to NJ
Casimir- Perier
The latter concluded by asserting that
he knew no other facts and had no knowl-
edge of any letters from Emperor Will
liam. He declared that he had never
heard them alluded to except in M. Pas
chal Grousset's Interpolation.
Madagascar, who was called for the de-
fense, testified that Captain Fraey-Staet-
ter, member of the court martial, told
him Dreyfus was convicted for giving out
plans of the fortress of Nice.
