NEW MOUNTAIN LINE.
White Oaks Extension Is Nearing
Completion.-Indid Laborers.

The work on the White Oaks noun
tain line from ToboRgsn to q point
four miles beyond Cloudcroft Is pro-
crossing rapidly. The contractors ex-
pect to be through by Dec. 1, but the
railroad officials think the first of the
year will see the work completed.
The road is even more difficult in
construction from an engineering point
of view, and more magnificent as a
scenic route, than the present cloud
elm ipg route. Two hundred and
fifty mena are employed, and forty
more went up this morning, in addition
to bunch of forty yesterday morning.
The con tractors are using Pueblo Indi
ans as much as possible as they are
much better workers than the Mexi-
cans.

ID. A. RICHARDSON.
Mr.. Richardson followed with as
strong an argument as could be made
in defense of his client under the cir
cumstances. The force of his speech
was directed toward impressing the
jury that Sullivan had not picked Mar
tin IS pocket. but had gathered up the
money from the floor.
He alleged that in his opinion all
the witnesses for the prosecution were
drunk except Max Schultz, who told
the sober truth when he said that Mar
tin raked his money from the counter
to the floor in the presence of the wit
neSs.
He laid particular stress on the fact
that the testimony of all the witnesses
had materially varied as to the amount
of money lost by Martin and the demo-
mination of the bills picked up from
the spittoon.
Concluding he said: ST implore you,
gentlemen of the jury, to remember
your oaths and bury all prejudice that
you may have against my client. If
you do, 1 am satisfied that you cannot
say under your oaths that Sullivan
took that money.
'If you acouit this defendant of this
charge rest assured that he will be
punished. He could not leave this
court room before the handouts would
click on his wrists and he would be
taken back to Jail to answer the charge
of theft.
