FOR THE B. & B. COMPANY

The taking of testimony in the Larkin
hearing was resumed before Judge Blake,
master in chancery, this morning. James
Cassidy was on the stand. He testified
that in the early '90s he was in the en-
ploy of c. II. Palmer, the general man.
ager OF the Butte & Boston company, and
was sent by Palmer to request Larkin
to call at the Butte & Boston offices in
regard to the Snohomish and Tramway
properties, which Palmer desired to pur-
chase. There were several interviews
between Palmer and Larkin and in each
instance the witness was present and
heard the conversation. Palmer offered
Larkin $500 for the property and told
him if he did not take it, Murray, who
had a mortgage on it, would become pos
that the property was worth more money.
Witness was sent by Palmer on several
occasions to get Larkin.
What We're you to get for this work."
asked Mr.. Forbis.
'I was to get $3.50 or $500 if Palmer sue
ceeded in buying the property for 81 800"
Did you receive anything?"

"How much did you get?"
about $780," replied Cassidy.
"Who gave you the money!
"Mr. Palmer gave it to me-"
What did he say to you about it,"
asked the attorney.
He said the money would reimburse
me for my work in the snohoanish and
Trannway matter, and would also pay
ma for what 7 had done in thp "a anti |
fight"
The witness said he was always pres
ent at the interviews, and heard all of
the transaction; Palmer tried to impress
upon Larkin the fact that Murray was a
dangerous man in a financial way. Wit
ness advised Larkin to accept Palmer's
proposition. You and Palmer were try
ing to bea him out of the property. We're
you?" asked Mr.. Forbis.
mo, we were just working together
and Mr.. Palmer was trying to help Lar
kin out" replied the witness. 81 was

Mr.. Forbis again asked the witness if
he and Palmer were trying to beat Lar
kin out of the property.
well, yes; l guess we Were,' replied
Cassidy. II was working for my en-
ployer, and would nave lost my job if
had not helped him in the matter"
Witness admitted that he had taken
several drinks with Larkin, but never
got drunk with him. Il don't set drunk
and go to sleep in a chair, John. When
I do I go out with the boys decently.'
Witness could not tell how much Lar
kin received for his property from the
Suite & Boston company. Witness said
Palmer sent him for Billy Archer, and
offered him a sum for his interest in the
Michael Davitt. But Palmer's price
was not high enough and Archer would
not sell. Archer had some sense said
the witness. Witness said he was a friend
of Palmer's; witness was not employed
by the Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany in any capacity.

PHOTOGRAPHS AS EVIDENCE.
Innovation Introduced by the Prose-
cution in Alisnir's Trial for
Murder in st. Louis.

st. Louis, Feb. 27.-Tn the trial of
Campbell Aligair on the charge of MUIR
Ger here. decided innovation in Grim
inal prudence has been introduced.
Photographs purporting to portray
every stage of action in the course of
the assault were brought forth by the
state and allowed as evidence.
The entire tragedy, as the prosecu-
tion presents it, was acted out before a
camera. Not only were the relative
positions shown. but every feature of
the scene was portrayed. When the
pictures were introduced it created a
storm of argument, but Judge Tally
was firm and could not be changed in
mis- decision. Attorney Anthony, for
the defense, strenuously objected to
this form of evidence, but Judge Tally
overruled the motion and an exception
was filed. If conviction is obtained
an appeal may be taken.
The photographs admitted as evil
dence in the trial of Campbell Aligair
for murder, purporting to show how
! the deed was committed were taken by
Police Photographer Baker for the
prosecution several days after the trag.
edy. The houses of both principals are
shown, and persons holding positions
relative to theirs at the time of the
crime are portrayed.

CREMATION GOES UP.
Cost of Incineration at the Daven-

from $25 to $50.

After May J. the cost of incinerations
at the Davenport crematory will be
raised to $50. Formerly it has been $25.
This was half the price charged at st.
Paul, st. Louis, Chicago and elsewhere.
In the year 1897 II incinerations were
made by the Davenport society OF this
number nine were from Davenport and
eight from other cities, and nine were
males and eight females. A note
worthy Characteristic of the work was
that the majority of the incinerations
were those of persons who had reached
the advanced age of 70 years and up-
wards. In the history of most institu-
tons of the kind throughout the coun-
try it is shown that older people have
the greatest prejudice against inciner-
alton, and that the new idea had gained
general foothold among the younger
class of citizens only. In Davenport
the reverse is true.

Unprofessional Conduct.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 27.-State Senator
Vernon H. Burke was Saturday found
guilty in the circuit court of the first
specification in the charges brought

Burke was charged in the first speci-

ney with eXtorting $4,000 from Jane

Judge Caldwell read the findings of
the court.
"As the evidence now stands before
this court" he said, 'we find that Judge
Dillenbaugh and Judge Vernon H.
Burke We're jointly the attorneys OF
Nettie E. Manning during the acts COM
planned of in the first specification. We
previously found that Judge Dillen-
baugh did receive $1,100, one-third OF
the fees paid in the Manning case, and
that the weight of the evidence showed
that Dillenbaugh participated in the
management of the Manning case up
to the time of the division of the fees.

The most heart-rending, hard-luck
story I've heard in months was told
me recently by theatrical man, and
concerns a comic opera comedian who
has recently written book about
Eugene Field. The comedian makes
no end Of money and scorns anything
like ostentatious recklessness in the
spending of it. He is almost morbid
on the subject, in fact-you know how
sensitive the artist nature Island there
are those who say that he goes to even
ing instead of morning service 80 that
he may have the use Of the money he
drops into the box little longer. This
is by way of explaining to you the grief
which befell him not so very long ago
in Cleveland, says a Washington Post
writer. Somebody had played an en-
gagement at a certain theater there,
and had received frigid reception,
comedian wasn't going to run any
risks. He couldn't play at the theater
unless certain amount Of money was
promised him. The manager of the
theater offered very large percentage
Of the receipts, but, oh, dear, no! the
willy comedian wasn't to be caught by
any such chaff as that. He insisted on
a lump sum regardless of receipts. The
sum was guaranteed, the contract
signed. The comedian came to town,
and strolling, as If by chance, into the
box Office, asked how the house was
selling.
"Oh," said the ticket seller, 1--WE sold
every ticket in the house 10 days ago."
The comedians blood boiled.

would that had accepted the percent

1t was too late, however, to rely on
simple woulding to change matters, SO
he sought the foremost attorney Of the
town, showed him the contract, and
expressed his desire to break 1t, and
abide by the customary percentage
plan. Before the attorney would con-
sent to express an opinion the question
Of fee came up, and the comedian
handed him $500. The man at law then
took the contract and examined it.
