Thomas +. O'Donahue, Bangor, police
man, testified to the condition of affairs
on his arrival the day after the tragedy.
The body was still out of doors. Mrs.
Zero was very much agitated.
DR.. Hiram Hunt, Greenville, testified
as to the nature of the wound which
caused Gero's death. The cut was on
the right leg, being ~ inches from the
aXilla diagonally across, about q of an
inch wide and Az inches deep. 1t point
ed up and in and forward, and the ex-
IRENE point of the knife had evidently

poor health for several years.
This afternoon, County Attorney Dur
gin called Deputy Sheriff A. F. Leonard
and Deputy C. F. Dearth, who testifie

self, his officers and enlisted men in
the Santiago campaign. and appealed
from the district supreme court. The
court is divided.
Chief Justice Alvey. who delivered the
opinion, held that the opinions should
not have been taken to that court, but
withoulds the order of dismissal. This
course is with view to preserving
the appeal, in case the United States
supreme court should decide the appeal
was rightfully taken. The decision
says. however, that the order of dis
missal will be entered in case it is de-
sired to appeal to the United States
supreme court from the order.
Justice Morris, in concurring, says
he is not satisfied that his court has
no jurisdiction. but as that would. in
effect. deny jurisdiction of the United
States supreme court such a ruling
should come from the latter court.
Justice Shepard will file a dissent
ing opinion.

RINSE by which He Escaped Arrest
and Had His Debts Psia,
Many amusing stories are told Of Joe
Haines, q comedian Of the time OF
Charles IL, sometimes called Count
Haines. 1t is said that he was arrested
one morn:.ag by two bailins for a debt
Of EGO, when he saw a bishop to whom
he was related passing along in his
coach. With ready resource he imme.
diately saw a loophole for escape, and,
turning to the men, he said, "Let me
speak to his lordship. to whom ! am
well known, and he will pay the debt
and your charges into the bargain"
The bailins thought they might ven.
ture this, as they were within two or
three yards Of the coach, and accedcd
TO the request. Joe boldly advanced
and took OF his hat to the bishop. His
l!ordship ordered the coach to stop,
when Joe whispered to the divine that
the two lei were suffering from such
scruples Of conscience that he feared
they would hang themselves, suggest.
ing that his lordship should invite then,
to his house and promise to satisfy
them. The bishop agreed. and, calling
to the bailifs, he said. You two men
come to me tomorrow morning, and !
will satisfy you"
The men bowed and went away
pleased, and early the next day waited
or his lordship. who, when they were
ushered in, said, "Well, my men, what
are these scruples Of conscience7"
'scruplesY' replied one Of them. "Ws
have no scrunleal We are haili6a. my
