& Lack of Evidence showing Crlfn- 1naI Intent - Postofice Officials
 Troubled About Expense of
 Keeping Witnesses.
 HAVANA, Jan. 17.--At the trial of inc charges growing out of the Cuban postoffice frauds yesterday the exami- ration of Estes G. Rathbone, ex-di- rector general of posts of Cuba, was concluded. Counsel for w. H. Reeves, ex-deputy auditor for Cuba, requested The privilege of cross examining Rath- aone, which was accorded
 During the days hearing Rathbone was questioned further relative to the Furnishing of his residence in Fl Cerro, Havana from the postal funds. Rath- bone said he could not have been ex- 0ected to furnish his official residence from private funds, that he had not known how long he was going to re- main in Cuba and that General John k. Brooke, former military governor of Cuba, and General William Ludlow, former military governor of the city of Havana, had furnished their official residences from government funds. Rathbone said his superiors knew of his expenditures in this respect and had not made objection thereto and that these bills were only for moneys spent for house furnishing and not on his private account.
 The examination of bill from a Kew fork department store showed that fifty pairs of hose which, it was alleged, Rathbone had bought for his private use read fifty feet of hose. The examination of Rathbone did not bring out any strong points for the govern ment, the matters touched upon in- volving only small amounts compared to the large amount of embezzlement charged and believed to be out of pro- portion to the sentence asked for by tba fiscal
 Tn most of the incidents taken up during Rathbone's examination it was only a question of whether he had been authorized to make the expenditures in question, and there was a lack of evidence showing criminal intent
 The matter of the expenses of the witnesses who have been brought here from the United States to testify in these cases is now worrying the post office officials. The clerk of New York hotel, one of the witnesses, who was brought here to show that Rath- bone had lived extrayagantly while at this hotel, has put in a bill to the gov ernment of $40 day for expenses, while the extras charged bring the total for two weeks to about $1o,o0o.

John Milton Hook.

The subject OF TINS S%"'"'i was
born on BuJlpasture mountain five
miles above Mcdowell July 10Th
1929.
He was the third son of Robt.
Hook ard the family has been
identified with this section for
MANY wears. On Dec. II, 1850 he
was united in marriage with Miss
Dorthy Edmund who survives him.
There were born TO this union nine
chill dren, seven Of whom survive to
mourn with their aged and widow
ed mother a fathers loss.
In 1859 Mr.. Hook made u pro-
fession Of religion and united with
the NJ. E. Church North Oh Cow
pasture river. His membership re-
NAMED there rs long as an organi-
cation existed and in 1873 he re-
united with class at Salem. He
continued to hold his membership
in the Northern Communion of the
NJ. E. church, and while cut off
from his own denomination he
supported not only the two church
es NJ. e. Church South and Pres
byterian at his home. bit also the
church of his own choice. At lis
home the ministers Of the North
ern Methodist church always lodg-
ed in passing and found welcome.
Mr.. Hook was a man of tireless
energy and while at times in no
condition. on account of his feeble
health, to do manual labor, yet as
long as he could he was actively
EN- ployed in his farming operations.
Some yeals ago he bad the mis-
fortune to lose a hand in a thrPsh-
inc machine, but he seemed able
notwithstanding this loss to do as
much apparently as most men. BY
ceasless toll and economy he had
prospered in worldly things and
vet there was not the least asten-
tative or display about him. He
was quiet, and rather retiring in
disposition. in no sense disposed to
be "busybody in other mems mat
ters."
After a painful and somewhat
protracted sickness Mr.. Hook pass
ed away Aug. 2Sth, 1902. He was,
during his illness, great sufferer
He desired to be taken to the hos
pital and all arrangements for the
journey had been made when he
grew so much weaker that it became
impossible.
The funeral was conducted from
the Methodist church. 1t was pre-
viously arranged to have it in the
PRESBYTERIAN church but on ac-
count of the great crowd at the re-
union, it was thought best to
change the place. The services
were conducted by Rev. J. c. John
ston assisted by Revs. M. P. Wei
kle and W. Il. Price.

family are the wife, Mrs. Dorthy
