His Manner Creates Favorable I'm
preston in Court.

Havana, Jan. 13.-The cross exam
ination of Reeves in Nelley-Rathbone
trial continued today. Thus far his
testimony shows he could have COM
mitted frauds himself unaided by
Neeley or Rathbone.
The hearing was resumed this af-
ternoon. E. q. Rathbone was unex-
pectedly called by the government
The court told him he had the right to
refuse to testify if he so desired,
to which he replied he was glad of
the opportunity to testify. His frank
manner in answering questions inn
pressed the court, and the judge
listened to what Rathbone said When
asked the details of the working of
the department of posts, he asked the
privilege of making his statements
more clearly, the court questioned him
concerning the appointments of
Neeley and Reeves, to which he re-
piled that both men had been sent
him by the department at Washing
ton. He said that when Assistant
Auditor J. D. Lawshe tunred over the
Office and the postal accounts, he
highly recommended Reeves.

When he rose he was far from the
vessel.
for when he reached the end of it, op-
posite a circle of light which came
from one of the ships port holes. he
found the water many feet below.
But he was too expert a diver and
swimmer not to know how to enter
the water from that distance without
making a splash. Letting himself
hang rigidly at full length, with his
toes bent downward and close together,
to form a point, he released the rope
and shot into the water like wedge,
leaving scarcely ripple upon the
surface. When he rose he was twenty
yards from the vessel.
Presently he glanced over his shout
der at the few lights about the ships
decks, and the two or three that
showed through her ports. wondering
if they would be significant to the
enemy. But he decided that they would
not. Most of the ships lights had
been extinguished, and the few re-
naming would doubtless be thought
lights of their own boats or of some
wandering fisher or sponger.
An hour later the captain and his
officers were at the same place on deck.
one of them uttered a low iexclama-
ton and pointed into the darkness.
Look yonder at that light he cried,
