The other day l.. S. Thorne, vice

There they looked over the "City of

Route above Toboggan. After wit
Messing the log loading machines at
work they returned to Ell Paso.
A HERALD man found these gentle
man In inelr private car No. 400, at the
T. T. depot just be fore they were pull
ed out as q special. In reply to a ques-
ton of how they had enjoyed their
trip To AlemOgordo and over the cloud
climbing route each one had something
very omplimentary to say of what he
saw.
Mr.. Thorne was exceedingly COM
piimeu uary in his statement concerning
the young city, and stated that he had
never seen city grow up as quickly
or one with SO many advantages as
AlamogOrdo.
The big mill, the model hotel kept
by Col. Harvey, the electric lighting,
the nicely laid out streets, the splendid
water supply, and the stability which
the town presented 10 every manner,
was commented upon by Mr.. ThOr ne
as being very favOra be to it's future.
He spoke OF it, 10 comparison with 9TH
er new Iowps which be had thought
were enterprisng, as remarkably sur
passing them all.
Mr.. Satterlee spoke especially of the
engineering features of the clond
elm bling route, stating that the BULL
ing of q broad guage railroad over such
d cOuntry WAS wonder of the age.
He said that E! Paso should con graf
ulate itself upon the extension of this
road. which in short time viii: reach
the great Saisdo coal fields, and said
that in light Of the fact of our being
such great ore center the cheap coal
which this extension would bring us
meant to increase mary times our
smelling facilities as well as the up
building ofimmense factories supplying
the Mexican repu bile with manufacture
ed goods.
This trip Of the T. & P. officials will
certainly result in their greater conf
dence in Ell Paso, if such could be, and
will assure every extension of favors
shown US for which they have been SO
well know IN the past.
In the building of the T. 81 P. road
into this country Mr., Thorpe was in
charge of q construction train at the
front and there is not mile of the |
road from Fit. Worth to Ell Paso that
he is not thoroughly familiar with. He
is also familiar in every way with our
needs here.

been made known. She will he cross

pearing to be i'll and the attorneys
were not severe with her.
DIR. H.. b. Douglass. who attended

that his patient did not die OF poison
ing though he admitted that Barnet

cine sent to him in Kutnew powder
package. This package. DIR. Douglass
said contained cyanide of mercury
The doctor insisted that Barnet had
had false diphtheria. and that his
death was due to heart disease. Mrs.

detective department: DIR. A. T. Wes-
ton who told of the poison bottle he
saw the Adams apartment and DIR.
Albert Weber. a dentist, who testi-
fled that he knew Mrs. Rogers and that
he had learned through Murdoch that
Mrs. Rogers was also living under the
name of Addison.

room when Mrs. Molineux and her hus-
band made their appearance. Mrs.
Molineux was taken at once to the
coroner's room where she was joined
by Secretary Weeks. After brief con-
sultatiOn between the district attorney
ard Lawyer Weeks. the former an
nOunced that the examination of Mrs
Molineux would follow that of Mrs
Rogers. The district attorney an
nounced that he had not yet decided

dations for representatives of the press.
Gen. Miles appeared as the first wit
ness. He and three other army officers
were examined before the court closed
it's session. Gen. Miles testimony of
course was the feature of the days
proceedings. Gen. Miles appeared in
fatigue uniform, rather striking in its
contrast with the fflll dress uniforms
of the court He submitted to the
questioning of Col. Davis, recorder Of
the court. with uanimity, except for
a flash of mingled Indignation and
irony when he informed the recorder
that he was not compelled to report"
to the commissary general of the army.
This was in reply to question as to
whether or not he had reported to the
commisary department the fact that
complaints had been made to him rs
to the quality of the meat being issued
to the troops. An instant later, Gen.
Miles resumed his cool and carefully
considered replies to the inquiries of
the court.

Gen. Miles was very slow and care

he was credited in the interviews with
