these ruins lay no claim to even the
antiquity of the middle of last cen
tury-two brothers named Baltzley,
fired with imag ination, picked out
ruggedly beautiful spot on the Poto-
mac, just outside the city limits,
which they believed contained the
possibilities of a resort which would
rival anything to be found IN the
United States. It was wild place,
with splendid trees, bold slopes.

was convenient to the town by troll

gathered the money or the credit
several hundred thousand dollars in
all-built casinos and theaters Of
stone-laid out woodland paths, set
| fountains to playing, and altogether
| transformed it into a place Of tan
| taHzing delight. They called it Glen
| Echo.
They built a mansion for them
selves AID sold land in the neighbor-
hood at fabulous prices. Nearly a
| million dollars was invested in one
| way or another, and then came the
financial crash Of 1893 and all was
over.
All was not lost, however, for just
at that time the Chautauqua craze
was at its height and a Chautauqua
association bought the property for
| $780, 00. Then the Chautauqua inter
est died out, and after fitful at
! tempts at summer gardens with
cheap theatrical companies the place
was abandoned to it's fate.
A few days ago the entire property
was sold under mortgage for $12, 1000,
which hardly represents the value Of

Prosecution Objects.

The prosecution will ask Judge
Redwine to-day to rescind his order
transferring the cases to the Morgan
circuit court. The prosecution was
taken by surprise when Judge Red
wine transferred the case to Morgan
county. The attorneys for the prose-
cution anticipated that Judge Red
wine would send the case to county
not in the mountains. 1t is believed
that the fear of assassination would
prevent witnesses going to West
Liberty, the county seat of Morgan
county, which is nine miles from a
railroad. If Judge Redwine rescinds
his order the prosecution will try
again to get an ehsor and try the
case here.

cannot be had in this district. The
motion was made under section 1112
of laws of the state of Kentucky.
Judge Redwine said that under this
statute the defendants have no right
to be heard on the motion, and he
thought the motion should be grant
ed Fulton French, for the defense,

that the prisoners could have a fair
trial here, but Judge Redwine re-
