MAYOR ACKEY
Says Henderson Mentioned the
"Greentown Affair" In a
Conversation.

G. II. Ackey, mayor of New Philadel-
phia, was the next witness for the state.
He said he saw William Henderson in
his office at New Philadelphia. Hen
derson had been brought in to be locked
up. Ackey turned him over to the
sheriff. This was in April, 1899. Wit
ness had a conversation with Hender-
son. Henderson asked him what he
was wanted for.
IT told him I didn't know" said
Ackey. II said 1 thought he was want
ed for two things. One of them l
thought, was for the Bender affair, and
the other for murder. He then men
toned the Greentown matter and said
that fellow named Eckert was mad
at him and was doing him all the dirt
he could"
Mr.. Grant cross examined the witness
and wanted to know why witness want
ed to speak to him.

CORWIN D. BACHTEL
Comes In to Change the Line of
Testimony Back to the
S1O0 Bill.

Corwin d. Bachtel, former cashier of
the George d. Harter bank, was called.
He was interrogated by Mr.. Pomerene
as to the S100 bill. Witness said that
he had heard of the assault on John
Hartong. He said that Marshal Reed
called his attention to the assault. He
said It was within q day or two. Wit
ness said he knew John Rommel. The
Canton Brewing company kept its ac-
counts at the George ID. Harter bank.
Mr.. Bachtel recalled the fact of de-
posit of a 500 bill. He saw the deposit
taken and saw it after it had been
deposited The bill particularly noticed
was the 800 bill. He noticed the wig
net" or picture of Lincoln. He de-
scribed the manner in which the bill
was folded. The fold through the
length of the bill was very decided
and had the appearance as though 1t
might have been pressed in a book.
Witness turned the bill over to Reed
and he brought it back in a few lays.
Witness said the bill was kept at the
bank at Mr.. Pomerene's request for
some time. 1t was there a year or more
and we thought 1t would not be needed
any more and we let it go out into cir
culation.
"You never notified me of that fact?"
mo sir
Nothing Of material importance was
brought out in cross anu
Mr.. Bachtel was excused.

(From Fridays Daily.)

In answer to a question propounded
by Judge McCarty, at the opening of
court Friday morning, the prosecuting
attorney stated that he thought the
states case would all be in by Monday
afternoon, or Tuesday morning, in all
probability the latter. Witnesses for
the defense will, therefore, be subpoe-
naed to be in attendance Tuesday morn
ing. There will be no session of the
court tomorrow.
The state has subpoenaed Cloyd Bon
stedt, Henry Hawk Bert Brown and
Frank Brown. These men are mention
ed in a conversation o. P. Shanafelt had
with John Hartong before he died, and
when Hartong said he thought it was
some of the boys from about the station
that did the deed. The boys will be
brought in to show where they were
that night, so as to prove they were
not at Hartong's and thus minimize the
testimony that the old man thought
they were.
