days work to-day. While they relaxed
for few hours in the afternoon to wit
ness a drill of the first-class cadets in
the riding school, they got down to the
bottom of the hazing practiced at the
academy during the last four years, and
while at least a dozen other witnesses
have yet to be examined in this connec-
tion, the committee has laid out the
work for touching rock bottom before
the end of the week.
Cadet Dockery to-day, in answer to
Colonel Clayton, said he had hazed Ca
Diet Macarthur and that he was sick

Colonel Clayton.

Mr.. briggs, and the torrent of adiec-

Il REPORT TH1T HE HAS CIR OSSED
THE VAAL.
Also That He Has Joined Forces with
The Transvaal Commandoes-Th1s, IL
True, May Mean the Concentration OF
Seven Thousand Beers for Another
Big Situation in Cape Colony

London. Jan. 17.-The important re-
port received from Johannesburg, that
General DeWet had crossed the Vaal
and ioined the forces of the Transvaal
commanders, if true, probably means
the concentration Of 1000 Beers, with
several guns, for another big attack.
There is a rumor current N cape
Town that several Boer leaders are urg-
ing an attack upon the mines. IL mas
long been understood that General De-
Wet has been anxious to join the IN
vaders in Cape Colony, and this rumor
may be spread to cover the attempt to
break southwark.
AS an outcome of the fact that the
Beers in several instances have worn
khaki a government notice has been
promulgated in Pretoria prohibiting cl-
villains from wearing khaki and notify
ing all persons who wear this costume,
which is likely to be mistaken for the
British uniform, that they render them
selves liable to arrest and imprlson-

The war office issued no fresh news
yesterday. The response to the govern
ment's call for volunteers is said to be
very brisk in both London and the prov
inces. Defensive measures in South AT
rca proceed apace. Seven thousand
men have Joined the City Guard at
Cape Town. and 5000 others have vol
unteered in the suburbs. An additional
big gun has been mounted on Table
mountain.
A small Boer commando entered
Sutherland, cut the telegraph wires,
looted the stores and then proceeded
northward. According to the Cape
Town correspondent of the Daily Mail
the Beers occupied Aberdeen, forty
miles south of Graaff Reinet, Tuesday
A unique feature of Kitchener's fight

coming nearer. The few recent

EVIDENCE IS NOW ALL In
DEFENSE IN BOSSCHIETER TRIAL
CLOSES ITS CASE.
The State Will Begin Summing Up This
Morning and the Case May Go to the
jury In the Afternoon The Story as
ablp.


/ New York, Jan. 16.-Counsel for the
defense in the Jennie Bosschieter muir
der trial, at Paterson N. j., to-day
closed their case. William A. Death
Walter l.. McAlister and Andrew
1 Campbell, the three men now on trial,
went upon the stand in their own be-
half and told their versions of the
events of the night Jennie Bosschieter
met her death while in their company.
Their testimony varied but little as to
details
The plea set up by counsel for the de-
PENDANTS was general and specific de-
nial of all the accusations against the
men. He opened with an attack on the
moral character of the dead girl and
claimed that the prisoners were in no
wise responsible for her death. He de-
MED that she had been drugged, and he
denied that she had been ill-treated and
assaulted. -
McAlister, Death and Campbell were
each on the stand. Their testimony
was on the line that they were acting
on a generous impulse when they took
the girl out Of the saloon to the hack.
They claimed that she was 'jolly
drunk" for time in the back room of
Saal's saloon: said she was joking and
laughing after the first drink; that she
became "dopey" after taking the alb
sinthe and then became dead drunk
The assault was denied.
The story as told by each appeared
plausible, explanatory and reasonable,
but confllcted with the testimony of
the hackman and the alleged confess
sions of Death and Campbell as intro
duced by the state and admitted as
evidence.
The testimony of the detective closed
the rebuttal and the taking of tesH-
mony. After a discussion between the
court, the prosecutor and the counsel
for the Defense it was agreed that in
the morning Prosecutor Emley will be-
gin summing up. Mr.. Scott will the;i
take up the argument from the side of
the defense. He will be followed by
Mr.. Dunn and then Judge Hoffman will
make the summing up for the prison.
ers and the appeal to the jury. Mr..
Emley will close for the state. 1t Is
probable that the case will reach the
Jury by tomorrow afternoon.

luck and he won and lost for a

He promptly complied, Then
while Mr. jackson was "cashing

ranchman how lucky jackson was.
The ranchman then turned his at

find that jackson had vanished.
He enquired for him and was told
that he got his money and had
gone Mr.. Ranchman then turned
