the admission from the witness that he,
Buencamino. tried to persuade Aguinal-
Go to stick TO the Spaniards. This was
because the witness said he knew the
Spaniards and did not know the Amerf-
cans. Buencamino sided with Spain and
the FiIpinos he said because at that

Michael Mccarthy Brooded Over Du-
 plicity of Charles B. Marsh.
 Bridgeport, April 30.-NIrs Michael Mccarthy, who lives with her family i'll Brothwell street, has been to the police office regularly for several days, asking if the police have seen any thing of her husband. Michael Me Carthy is a gardener and nothing has been seen of him since last Wednes- day. The police know nothing of his whereabouts, although they have done everything in their power to find the man.
 Dependency, and probably an over-balanced mind, are supposed to be the causes that led Mccarthy to disappear After Charles B. Marsh failed, Mccarthy was surprised to learn that he was one of the victims. He trusted Marsh and did not take any receipts for his payments on his home. He has never been the same since his loss and has brooded over his troubles. His wife believes he has committed suicide.
 The police have investigated the character of Mir Mccarthy. They found he was quiet and well be. hayed man. His wife says he never spent a cent for anything outside his family's wants, except 25 cents week for tobacco.
