house at Sing Sing after having been found

criminal branch of the. supreme court, be-
fore Justice Fursman. Former Assistant
District Attorney General John F. McIn-

first trial represents the district attorney 9
office as special counsel at the second.
Since the court of appeals granted Kenne-
dy Il new trial, declaring Illegal the testi-
mony of Captain Price, one Of the chief
witnesses for the state, events have favored
the accused man. An important witness
against the dentist has died during the two
years the dentist spent in Sing Sing; some
weighty evidence in mis- favor has been dis
period. and Friday night while the prosecu-
ton was making ready for the new trial
one OF its witnesses at the<first trial, Mary
Higgins, chambermaid.s who found the
body of Dolly" Reynolds in the hotel room
ON the morning after the. killing was ar
rested, charged with shopIif1ing
One of the most important exhibits in the
case against DR., Kennedy is bludgeon
made Of gas pipe, which was found in the
room where Dolly Reynolds was found
dead. This taken together with long
black mark on kennedy's drawers and a
piece Of pipe said to have been found in the
cellar Of the prisoners residence, and
which is of the same diameter and material
as the piece of buldgeon. was pointed out
by the prosecution at the first trial as
proof that the defendant made the bludgeon
and carried 1t hooked to the top of his
drawers. This is expected to be refuted by
the defense at the new trial where Ken
nedy's lawyers will produce testimony tend
ing to show that there was no gas pipe in

Other witnesses will testify to an alibi. The

selection of the jury was going on Judge

APPROPRIATION BILLS.
They VIII Have the Right of Way in
the Senate.


The plan now Is to take up the District
Of Columbia appropriation bill in the Sen
ate on Wednesday, instead Of today, and
unless 1t is decided otherwise by vote of
the Senate the various appropriation bills
will be taken up in their order as they are
ready. It is not believed that a majority
of the Senate will vote against giving con-
sideration to the appropriation bills, there
by causing their failure and 1T Is said
that the appropriation committee will not
be willing to take the responsibility that
would arise from yielding consideration to
the shipping bill to the sacrifice Of ap-
propriations. Between times the shipping
bill will have right Of way when appro-
priations are not up. and the friends of
the bill hope to get through with the ap-
propriation speeches by democrats so as to
have a vote. but the situation appears
very dangerous to the bill With all the
anxiety there Is to avoid an extra session
there is an underlying belief among those
most opposed that there will be one, and
this throws an element Of recklessness
into the struggle, there being some indif-
ference as to what particular course of
action leads to that result.

Career of Francis Martin of Revenue
Cutter Service.

Cutter Service.
Capt. Francis Martin, the oldest officer in
the revenue cutter service, died at Detroit
Mich, January 81, aged nearly 101 years.

within sound of the sea, Captain Martin
was naturally attracted to a nautical ca
reer. He was but fourteen years OF age

Vigilant This apprenticeship was the be-
ginning of a roaming life filled with adven-
ture and peril, the record of which can be
equaled by few men. He was among the
few who participated in the historic funeral

under General Taylor in the battle Of
Corpus Christi Tex, In 1S46. and was well
acquainted with General Scott and other
noted leaders in the Mexican war. During
the long years that the sea claimed him
he wandered into many far distant and
isolated places, some OF which had never
been explored by civilized man. Before he
was twenty years old he had visited St.
Petersburg, Russia, when that great seat
of empire was still modest village, and
he had an honored record the master
of sailing craft on both sides Of the At
lantic while still very young man.
In June, 1892. he was commissioned a
third lieutenant in the United States reve-
nue. cutter service by President Andrew
Jackson. He was commissioned a second
lieutenant August IL, 1893; commissioned a
first lieutenant July "a, 1889 and promoted

Der of other officers, under the act ap-
proved March =, 1895, for the retirement

INNOCENT WOMEN ACCUSED
Sloan Lost His Money at His Lodging
House and not in a Crib.

Judge Boyle displayed keen perception
in unraveling the mystery surrounding
the disappearance of 500 from E. ID.
Sloan's pocket few nights ago. AS a
result of the judges determination to
meet out justice as 1t should be and his
unwillingness to punish even the most
wicked without evidence to warrant it,
three women from the bad lands, who
were arrested for touching Sloan, have
been discharged from custody.
Sloan, or "Blinker'' Smith, as he first
gave his name, complained to the po-
lice few days ago that he visited the
house of Grace Morgan Monday night,
and that while there the woman manag-
ed to extract 500 from his pocket.
Sloan said he had $3.50 in all in small
sack and that this sack was tied within
another. He could not say how the wo-
man managed to get the money out of
the sack, leaving $3.50.
In view of the fact that Julia Emerson
was in Grace's house at the time Of the
alleged robbery, she was also arrested.
The women said that Sloan was also in
a crib occupied by Jew Jess during
the night and the officials thought it
probable that she had secured the mon
ey. It was evident that considerable
time was consumed by the person re-
HoVlnS SlOan OF the money lie sack
was hard to open and necessarily some
time would be consumed in getting at
the money and replacing the $3.50.
Judge Boyle decided that some one
other than the women had robbed Sloan,
because of his story in which he stated
that he was perfectly sober and had an
eye on his pockets at all times during
his visit. Upon further questioning this
morning, Scan said he had left his
money sack under his pillow, in his
room, in down town lodging house the
night previous, and not having occas-
ion to use any of the money had not
examined the sack closely when he took
it from beneath his pillow. Sloan finally
admitted that he had gone out of his
room without securing his money in the
morning and that not until an hour
later did he remember leaving the sack
under the pillow.
Sloan now believes he was robbed in
his own lodging house, and feels crate
full to Judge Boyle for not passing on
the cases of the women until he had
full understanding of the matter

Crops are not quite what the grangers

the heavy rains which are now falling

show strong tendency to grow up

However, there is good acreage of
