SIMILARITY IN NAMES.
It Causes Many Complications for Two
Ex-SenatorS

The old saying of the governor of North
Carolina to the governor of South Carolina
in regard to the length of time between
drinks is apt to sink into insignificance in
comparison with the possible sayings of
the former senators of North and South
Carolina.
Marion Butler from North Carolina and
NJ. c. Butler from South Carolina, both
formerly sena tors, and both with head
quarters in this city, are daily having ex-
changes of mail which makes it necessary
for the former senator from South Caro-
lima to send letters that come to him TO
the former senator from North Carolina
and vice versa. This exchange of letters
and the necessary untangling of compli-
cations that take place every now and
then recently reached its climax when the
object of exchange was not letter but
a case of that rare old substance known as
North Carolina Corn" 1t was addressed
to NJ. Butler, but it was delivered at the
door of NJ. c. Butler, and NJ. c. Butler see
ing so good a thing come to him unsolicited

the accompanying letter, which he supposed
would come in day two from some
friend notifying him of the gift The letter
didn't come, and one, day the former SEN
ator of South Carolina, becoming curious
as to the source of the good gift made an
examination of the box Then he dis
covered that it was for the former
senator of North Carolina. He de-
clared afterward that he tempted
to insert a &C" in the address as
means of laying claim to the good thing
and to allay pangs of conscience that would

of the former senator of his neighbor state.
But he took a last look at the one partially
empty bottle and told his man to take the
case around to the former senator from
North Carolina with his regrets. The chief
question of interest between the two former
senators is what will happen next to fur

CHAPTER XVI.
The Defense.

Mr.. Ferguson spoke for upwards Of
an hour in an easy, graceful manner
natural to him, and his outline of the
case held the enrapt attention of every
person in the courtroom that morning.
There was little Of labored argument,
but, starting with the supposition that
his client was suffering a fraudulent
attempt at election from his own
premises, he proceeded to put the mat
ter before the jurymen in this light.
He said in substance something like
the following: Z,
you have listened to the argument
Of the learned counsel for the plain
tiff, and to the testimony offered, with
great attention, and indeed it has well
merited attention, for Mr.. Morley can
do anything that any one can in poor
case, while in good one it rests with
none to excel him. But this is a most
unjust, most fraudulent claim; it's equal

judicial history. Claims to estates are
not so rare, but was it ever known be-

wife and family, in addition to his
property ana was it ever witnessed,

false claimant in his endeavor to GUST
her lawful husband from his true
place? I trow not. The astounding
assumption of the whole plea for the
prosecution has blinded us somewhat

office.

The counsel looked at each other,
the jurymen at the judge. There
were several seconds Of waiting.

plaintiff any objection?" asked Mr..
Ferguson.
"None whatever replied Mr.. Nor

to one Of them and to Mrs. Hamilton!
She seemed dazed by the circunl-
stance, while a hopeless, detected look
settled over her countenance.
Tony Osborn's testimony was taken
in the afternoon, and told against the
defendant, since it was plainly made
evident that he had distrusted him
from the first. He was sharply cross
questioned as to why he had so stoutly
declared in the first place that it was
Mr.. Hamilton who visited the bank,
and now that it was not.

when we were there together; he
seems to be the true Vane Hamilton

Osborn then gave several instances
of tests which he had applied, all of
which the claimant had passed in a
satisfactory manner.
Two witnesses testified that Solomon
Marks had been seen by them near the
mill on the day before the shooting
of the plaintiff, and that he appeared
to wish to avoid recognition.
Next. several citizens of Grovedale
were examined, and they testified that

to: its aspect. But let us now look at
1t as it stands.
"My client, who is none other than
the true Vane Hanilton-as you can
see for yourself, his looks fully cor
roborating my observation-disclosures af-
ter an absence of many months
to his home. He has been in
the habit Of taking his yearly
outings in May, as he is inclined to
bilious difficulties and is not so we'll
able to pursue his business in the
spring as In the summer. Far from
making any mystery of the matter, he
has invariably told his wife that he
went away for his health. On one or
two occasions he had other business

you all know how that is, and
that ladies are sometimes apt to men
ton such matters in their condolences
with other women, SO that they leak
out, often to the serious detriment Of
their husbands business. Knowing
this, Mr.. Hamilton did not always ex-
plain the full reason Of his trips and
his wife chose to make a mystery of
them. They had nothing to do with
seeking for twin brother. That silly
fiddle-faddle has no part in the de-
tense. The only other children born
to the Hamilton parents were boy
and a girl who died in their infancy.
The confession of Hannah Sargent is
of no account, she having told at least
half a dozen different stories about
the matter.
when Mr.. Hamilton was away he
was taken with a peculiar malady, a
species OF insanity He forgot his
name, place of residence, everything.
You have heard it all explained in the
evidence for the prosecution, en-
bodied in the words of Mr.. Libby and
others, who, however, make the mis-
take of confounding the false claim
ant with the true. Mr.. Barnstead, I
shall prove by the evidence of his
friend Hurd, did not see Hamilton on
the fifteenth; that it was the next
THURSDAY. that he witnessed the meet
ing at Portland depot instead of Fri
day, yhen Mr.. Hamilton left home.
Mr.. Hamilton went on his way unseen
by Mr.. Barnstead, but on the Thurs
day following he saw the claimant
who at that time had light hair and
resembled Mr.. Hamilton strongly. In
fact, the claimant is none other than

that of the last witness, was decidedly
in the favor Of the prosecution. The
counsel had done wisely to reserve 1t
for the last, and Morley and Stevens
rejoiced to see how stoutly the wit
ness resisted the efforts Of the oppo-
sition to break up his testimony. When
he left the witness stand and the case
closed for the plaintiff, there were
many among the audience, and among
the jurymen, too, If their faces did not
belle their minds, who were more than
half persuaded Of the claims of the
plaintiff.
It was now the fourth day Of the
trial, and an adjournment was called
until the following day at o'clock,
Comments were heard on all sides as
the crowd surged into the street, and
it was evident at this juncture that the
sympathy was pretty evenly divided
between the claimants.

Thus far three ribs and four verte-

a section of the animals back about.
eighteen inches in length. The larg-
est mastodon ever unearthed is in the
Smithsonian Institution and the verte-

Each Of the vertebrae Of the animal

Mr.. Stewart is authority for the

with all their past lives, while the
other claimant did not. He had not
even recognized them when they first
met until some word Of theirs had
brought them to his recollection, when
he Immediately .professed to know all
about them. One Of these witnesses
was William Seavey, the foreman In
the mill owned in part by Mr.. :Harnil-
ton.
The testimony Of these witnesses was
very strong, and upon it the pla1ntlH 8
counsel relied much for the success OF
the case. They were subjected to a
severe fire Of s-questions, but moth
ing could shake their testimony. They
were evidently sincere, and when they
left the witness stand the case Of the
prosecution looked brighter than It
had at all.
Miss Chase and Mary O'Neil were
then examined, but their testimony Is
already known to the reader, and, be,
sides, it was unimportant to the real
case at issue. Conductor Libbys words
were listened to with the closest at
tention, for, they proved conclusively
that Mr.. Hamilton appeared strangely

The last witness to be called was a
man from Valparaiso, who testified to
the fact that Ashley was known to
him, and that he recognized the de-
fendant as the man. The plaintiff he
had never seen but once before. He
stated that he had been. engaged in
various nefarious. undertakings with
Ashley, who he knew to have been in
Boston at the very date when the
altered note was presented at the
bank. Moreover he testified that the
plaintiff had once come to the place
where he lodged and made inquiries
after Ashley; said he thought he was
