bREESE UNDER FIRE
He is Cross Examin ed by
Judge Bynum,
Judge Jackson Objects TO Ancient History in The
Case. No Raking up the Ashes
of Sodom.

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Asheville. N. c., March 11.-Maj. Breese
finished his story yesterday and this
morning cross-examination was begun
by Judge Bynum. He said that when the
hank started it had more money than it
could use; in consequence he had to in
vestigate opportunities to invest. He
says he bought stock in a lumber COM
pany, put one thousand dollars in a
street railway company and three thou
sand in the Kenilworth Land Company.
The total spent this way was eighteen
Thousand dollars. Then he took thirty
thousand out of the bank and invested it
at intervals. When the panic came on
he took twenty thousand more to build
a house at Biltmore. This made about
seventy thousand that Breese took out
and invested in his own name. He
claims that all was done in the interest
of the bank.
The questions were limited to Maj.
Breese's personal overdraft, which was
shown to be forty-two thousand five
hundred and thirty-three dollars on Feb
ruary %, 1891. Breese was shown
checks and told for what purpose he had
issued them.
During the cross examination Judge
Bynum asked a question going back to
the beginning of the history of the bank.
Judge Jackson interposed with Il am
not going to allow you to go back and
rake up the ashes of Sodom." The case
is TO be kept within matters cited in the
indictment.

United States Supreme Court for a writ
of certiorari in the suit against the town
of Oxford. The case had been decided
in favor of the town by the Circuit
Court of Appeals for the fourth circuit
and to obtain review of this decision
the writ was desired. On yesterday the
court announced that the petition was
denied. This ends q piece of litigation
which began in November, 1894 and
which has been fought through all the
State and Federal courts. This suit was
to force payments of bonds issued by
the commissioners of Oxford for the pur-
pose of building the Oxford and Coast
Line Railroad. The railroad was never
built and the bonds were fought ON the
ground of no value received and because
the bonds were not issued according to
law.

White Bread Makes Trouble With Some

Loading up with white bread and
starchy cereals is quite sure to ultimate

and is frequently the cause of appendi-

The starches are not digested in the
upper stomach but are treated in the
duodenum and from there on down
through the whole length of the bowels.
Consequently. if TOO much starchy food
is used, particularly white bread, trouble
is likely to set up. White bread does
not contain the diastatic principles which
nature placed in the wheat berry to help
digest starch, but the white -four miller
