summed up the case in this way: How
was II possible for man OF Jones age;
a man OF slight physique-for he never
could have weighed more chan 100 pounds
to have struggled for half an hour with
u man Of half his age and finally succeed
in killing his victim?
All this does seem unreasonable, and
there were still other points that were
never satisfactorily explained. If, for in
stance. Jones did the deed why did Dutil
address him in the French language. and
more particularly, use the endearing ex-
preston (thou) which ali agreed would
only be used between old friends? II was
certainly proved that Jones had no con-

he had never been a customer OF Dutil s
Then how could he have known there WAS
anything worth stealing about the place

are all hard questions TO answer. and

doubt, which the law says must always
be given to the prisoner.

Mr.. Hale tried one experiment which
convinced him that there was some foun-

them on one of his TRUSTEES and then

Wen. Jones did. and he got there more
frequently than was really good for him:
SO that by the time he had reached the

Manila, April S.-Gen. MacArthur's
operations consist, temporarily, in

ascertaining their movements. The
Fourth cavalry and two guns were out

Gen. Montenegro, the most aggres-
sive, and, next to Agunaldo, the most
influential of the insurgent leaders, has
been killed. The news was brought 10
Malolos by pacificos who returned to the
American lines. He is believed TO have
fallen in the battle at the outskirts of
Malolos for the defense of the city.
Washington, April S.-Admiral Dew

ing that six months engineering sup

the carriage of these stores. The adj

belief that it will not be possible to ma
