dence for the defense in the Howard

witness had 3 beard.
Howard then took the witness stand.
He testified that his train was late, and
that he went from this train to hotel
and was there when Goebel's body was
carried by. Howard, in general way

ing nature told against him by James

gard to the alleged remarks concerning
the murder Of Goebel.

rigid cross examination conducted by

follows:

which have arisen since the convention,
however, have compelled him to decline,

to the course which should be taken by
the party now. Many are strongly in ia
vor of making another nomination for the
head of the ticket and carrying on the
campaign on the lines originally laid down
In some States, however, the efforts of
the Third ticket advocates are likely to
be confined to the nomination of single
elector, and for this reason the compost
ton of the National ticket is not a mat
ter of quite so much consequence.

neither we choose to aLknowl-

intrinsic value, or by what the
