The general looked at me curiously
but said nothing.
But what had seen-if indeed it was
real-brought horrible confirmation
against Margaret. She must be guilty
of all Of which she was accused. Till
this moment 1 had hoped that this un-
certain vision might be the real culprit
who would eventually relieve her of
blame. Since the distinct view 1 had
at last had of it, knew that the child
like face I had seen could not belong
to man or woman capable of entering
an enemy's lines, making drawings of
his works, and travelling miles over
muddy roads to transmit them to her
employer. Margaret, with her stronger
nature, might do all this, the young
girl at the window never. Margaret
had been stopped by us in the act of
carrying the plans. She had been in
terrupted by me in the attempt to burn
those plans. Finding herself foiled, she
had eagerly given her parole, only to
break it in order to transmit what in
formation she could to the confeder-
ates. She was desperate, treacherous
woman without conscience.

from some members of the jury that
one of the controlling circumstances
in the case was the fact that Walker
swore on the stand he had no knife or
dirk on him the night of the shooting,
and yet the next witness, his secretary,
Calfee, stated that he undressed him
at. the hotel that night and there re-
moved a scabbard from Walkers left
shoulder, in which there was six

belt from his waist, in which there was

was also commenced on Wednesday of

Work will be commenced at once on
the construction of the plant and push
ed as rapidly as possible, and by De
cember 1st, it is thought at least one
third of the plant will have been COM
pleted, at which time machinery will
be put in and the work of manufactur-
ing paper begun. Work will not how
ver be slackene6 until the entire plant
is completed which will take some
thing like three years time. The build
ings will be constructed entirely of
stone, brick and steel, and will cost,
including machinery, at least million
dollars, and will be the largest plant
of the kind In the United States. Con-
tracts have been made with the Gov
ington brick plant for its entire output
and also with two other brick plants
in Lynchburg for large amount. To
give and idea of the number of brick |
that will be used in this plant, it is |
stated by the construction department
that within the next six months they
will require over five millions.
A large force of men will be employ
ed in a few days on the construction
of the work and the number will be
increased from time to time as the
work demands, until within a few
weeks the number will probably reach
several hundred.
