rREsERvATINE ON THE MEAT.
Scrgt. Mason says That Is What
ArmOur's Agent Called IL.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 1.-THE
army beef court of inquiry concluded tho
taking of testimony at Fort Leavenworth
at noon to-day, and at AIS o'clock depart
ed for Chicago, where the sessions will be
resumed Monday.
The sole witness examined to-day was
Sergt Edward Mason, Troop A, First
United States Cavalry, located at Fort
Robinson Neb., who served AS reg,mental
commssary sergeant at Lakeland, Fla,
and during the Cuban campaign.
Serst Mason's testimony was probably
the most direct that has been adduced
since the court left Chicago. He said:
THE meat we received was in appear
ance fine, but il was undoubtedly chem
ically treated One morning l objected to
the appearance of it. An agent of Ar
mour 81 Co. was there. My recollection is
that he stated that this meat had been
treated with what was called preserva-
tine. 1t was as if it had been painted
over with something like paraffine wax.
There was a Slight coating on the outside
of the meat l objected to the color of the
meat and refused TO accept it. Our COM
missary officer came down and refused TO
accept H.
Gen Gillespie: "How did the agent hap
pen TO tell you about the appearance of the
meat?"
THE meat was supplied in the morning
and it smelled bad and had bad appear
ance. The agent just simply speaking of
it said: That is preservatine. That is the
chemical we use TO protect the meat-to
preserve it.. AT TO what preservatine was
l do not known"
do you wish the court to understand
that very much of the meat supplied to
you from that refrigerated beef had been
treated Chem.cally?''
II would not swear that it was. 1 will
say that in my opinion It was"
Gen. George Davis: Did all the meat
you got appear to have this glossy surface
like parafIine?"
yes sir"
did you say that it looked as though
paratilne was over it2"
can the car meat we got had that ap-
pearance."
Are you sure the agent was an Armour
man?"
''Yes, sir; am positive OF that, because
l made out the vouchers"
WAS he a resident of Tampa?"
Il think he was probably a Chicago
man. He was short and heavy set Ar
mour had two agents there one man
of 25O the other decidedly Jewish in ap,
pearance. The one / refer to was the
young man."
could you scrape this material off the
surface of the meat-the preservatine?''
Il could not say that we could scrape 1t
off. 1t would break. 1t was so light I
could not scrape it Off"

MARTHA PLACES LAST SUNDAY.
Condemned Woman Showing More
Nerve as Time Draws Near.

Condemned Woman Showing More
Nerve as Time Draws Near.
New York. March 19-Mrs. Martha
Places last Sunday on earth differed but
little from the other days she has spent
in Sing Sing prison. She displayed no
signs of breaking down, and appeared 10
be growing stronger and more composed
as her time for her death draws closer.
Mrs Place went to sleep about 10 o'clock
on Saturday night and rested calmly and
unbrokenly until about 43O O'Clock this
morning. At that hour she became rest
less and continued so for time, when she
Gained down and slept at intervals until
Z O'clock. At that hour she arose and
dressed.
Mrs. Places meals are now served from
the warden's table, and will be until she
goes 20 the chair This morning she had
poached eggs, toast rolls and coffee. She
ate hearty breakfast and then sat down
to read. She spent the morning reading
her Bible and religious pamphlets.
During the morning Warden Sage called
on Mrs. Place and warned her to be pre-
pared to go to the chair Whether he told
her al what hour of the coming week she
must expect the summons is not known,
but it is not thought he intiThated to her
more than a general idea of the time.
Mrs. Place took the warming coolly, far
more so than she took the
breaking of the news that she
must not hope for pardon, and the other
message that she must hope for nothing
She seems to have nerved herself to the
test and il is hoped by all concerned in
the execution that the nerve she is now
displaying will remain with her until the
end.
For dinner Mrs. Place had roast turkey,
stuffing, peas, potatoes, ice cream, cake
and coffee. She made another good meal.
Afterward she lay down for a time. After
rising she read for time, and then Matron
Riley read to her This was followed by
a conversation on general and religious
matters between them.
During the afternoon Miss Meury who
has been active in caring for Mrs. Place
from the time Of her trial, called at the
prison and had a talk with Warden Sage.
She did not see Mrs. Place. What her mis-
sion was is not known. The warden said
it was talk simply on business and Miss
Meury would not tel.
with the coming of midnight tonight,
the hours Mrs. Place has to live are few.
The sentence may be executed at any hour
aiterward, but just when the woman will
be led to the chair is known to no one ex-
cept Warden Sage and it is matter of
doubt if even he has fully determined the
matter.
