Quay's Trial For Conspiracy Continues.
Expert Goldsmith Sharply Cross
Examined by Counsel.

IN the Peoples bank on which interest
was paid, asked If there was any entry
10 show such payment.
Mr. Goldsmith said there was no sin
gle entry. The loans of state money.
alleged py the witness To have been
made TO more than fifty persons and on
which interest was paid was then gone
into. Mr.. Shields drew from the wit
ness that the entries of these loans did
not contain any names of persons, but
simply initials. The witness admitted
that he had guessed in some Instances
for whom these initials stood. and
learned OF the others from information
received. Ii was shown that in more
than one Instance borrowers paid more
interest than appeared on the opoks.
This ended the oss-eXamination and
the redirect examination began.
The district attorney took up the
question of the relation between Sena-
tor Quay's deposit account and the
transactions i'm stock on his order. ihe
witness stated there was little " any
connection. Goldsmith was asked to
state what the books showed senator
Quay's balance on deposit was at vari-
GUS times between April 30. 1896. and
October 81. 1897.
He replied that the balance ranged
from so cents to $4,000. Witness then
explained the relation between the fig
ures in the red book" and the regular
books of the band and elucidated the
figures entered on the page devoted 10
the state deposit for the six months
ending October 81. 1897, which appar-
emily show the use of 100000 or the
deposit by Senator Quay and the pay
ment of interest on the balance.

VIEWED BY MANY.
So Far, However, n, One Has Identified The Re-
mains of the tutat DuHancs Suicide.

Although many persons have visited
the undertaking rooms of Boyce Bros.
for the purpose OF attempting identi-
flcation of the Hotel Dorrance suicide,
none has succeeded in doing so. The
mystery that surrounded the case
when the suicide was first discovered
is as deep as ever and it would appear
that the chances Of Identification are
growing materially less. The body
cannot be kept more than a couple of
days longer. and il is probable that
after tomorrow it will be entombed OF
inferred at the expense OF the state.
The facts concern - the suicide haNs
been given wide puls.cit and ii is pro-
bable that several hundred people.
some impelled by the belief that the
description answered that OF friend
or a person they knew others by NOR
bid curiosity, have visited the under
taking rooms and viewed the body. This
morning a resident of Worcester tele-
phoned to the undertaken and asked
how tall the dead man was. The reply
was that the man was not more than
-ffvr- feet SIX 1UChes m he1ght, The
Worcester man then said that this end
ed any responsibility of IL being tho
body he was looking up. for the man he
wanted was five feet ten inches tall
THAT being the case he did not believe
he would go TO the expense of coming
to this city.
