THE ASYLU1 INVESTIGATION.
The Attorney for the Defense
Wakes Wroth.

Pueblo, Jan. "a. - What Will
probably be the last day of the
asylum investigation began with
the denunciation by Attorney
Taylor, who is defending DIR.
Thombs, of the testimony OF the
witnesses, which Mr.. Taylor termed
"bullragging," and ninety per
cent. of which he declared would
not be accepted as evidence in any
court of justice.
The first witness, Stewart Love,
in answer to the question if a fin
aucial statement could be had of
the amount of money on hand
january l, 1898, said that the in
formation could be obtained at
the Office of the state auditor. The
cross examination of Attorney
General Campbell was severe
Several other witnesses were also
examined.
A number of clashes occurred
between States Attorney Campbell
and Attorney Taylor. Mr.. Camp
bell accused Taylor of employing
methods calculated to mislead the
investigation. Taylor became red
in the face, and, springing to his
feet, said, That statement is abso-
lutely untrue. | will not stand
these reflections on me another in
stant longer" Campbell paid no
attention to this outburst.

asked him IL he knew where he was.
Now, the emperor was first of all a
gentleman. As he graveiy lifted his hat
and made courteous inclination of his

Here was a lady seeking information
about the way she had missed. His blue
eyes, full of sympathy. looked up at her
