mony at $3.50 this afternoon. The tcsti-
mony for the defense will begin tomorrow
morning.
II. V. Bagwell. bailiff In the transcedat
district. who succeeded Rhodes, proved an
important witness. He first testified 10
tracking the horses from the place OF The
lynching, but every time at the most crit!-
cal points the trail was abandoned; he
gave as his reason for this that he was
afraid that il tracks were followed fur
ther it would rise suspicion. Mr.. Bagweli
tracked the horses in company with
Dutch Gardner, who has figured quite
conspicuously in the testimony In onc
respect Mr.. Bagwell's testimony was a.
variance with that OF John Greenhaw, who
turned States evidence: Greenhaw testi
fed that Jim HUMPHREYS was placed on
Joe Wilkeron's pony when the rope WAS
tied to the tree and that he saw Wilker-
son drive the pony out from under the
old man; Bagwell testified that the neAr-
est point to the tree where Wilkersoa' 5
pony tracks occurred was twenty feet
1t has been made to appear, or the efort
has been made to prove that w. B. Brooks
rode the horse that made the big tracks
on thst memorable night; witnesses es'
tablished the fact that said tracks were
made by John Greenhaw's horse. Mi.
BagweH told of several meetings being
held, at which large number of cit.

to be devised to bring about his capture

by Financial Question in 1SDj.

Lincoln. Neb.. August 3.-Mr. Bryan to-
day concluded the writing of his speech
to be made at Indianapolis next Wednes-
day in accepting the democratic nomina-
ton for the presidency. The speech is
about 5000 words In length. lie has ad-
hered TO his original intention of devot-
ing the document almost entirely to the
question OF imperialism. IN following tnis
course he pursues the general plan adopt
ed in 1896 of giving special attention in
mis- notification speech to the subject mIde
paramount BY the democratic platform.
For this reason the policy OF the govern
mn vain reference TO the acquisition Of
foreign territory viii this year be gwen
the place OF prominence which was al
lotted 10 the financial question In 1886,
the other subjects being left to be dcalt
with III the letter of acceptance to be
given out later. The remarks upon this
subject are based upon the ddministra-
toms conduct Of affairs in the Philip
pines.
1t is now Mr.. Bryan's intention to re-
main in Chicago for several days, posi-
bly, week, after the Indianapolis meet
ing, the entire time TO be given u CONFER
enees with leaders of all the forces sup
porting him. He will meet democrats OF
prominence, and Vice Chairman Elmston
OF the National popnlist committee TO-
day issued a call 10 the executive COM
mittee of that party to meet in Chicago
on the day following the indianapolis
meeting. Mr. Edmiston declined to state
/ the purpose of this meeting, but there
is little doubt that lis principal object IS
to confer with Mr.. Bryan and other lead
ers, possibly with view OF deciding what
course Shall be pursued with reference
to Mr. Towne's candidacy for the vice

factories and public improvements and
new population and added prosperity.
Freed from the apprehension Of con-
etantly impending danger the people
