SAID THE GOVERNMENT
KNEW ALL ABOUT IT.
Breese Declared Department Was
COgniznnt of His Methods.

Breese Declared Department Was
COgniznnt of His Methods.
Charlotte, N. c.. July 21.-William e.
Breese remained on the witness stand
in the United States district court
to-day. continuing testimony in his
own behalf in the case against him
for wrecking the First National Bank
Of Asheville, of which he was presi-
dent. When court adjourned his testi-
mony was not finished.
The line of his testimony, in addi-
tion to bringing about certain facts.
is to show that the officers of the
government having in charge the ma
tional banking system were at all
times cognizant of everything he did,
and that nothing whatever was con-
cealed from the Controller of the
Currency. The testimony embraced
dozens of letters that had been passed
between him and officers of the gov
ernment. dating from Aug. 30, 1893,
practically four years before the fail
to the efforts he was making to save
the bank from ruin and to arrange
ments for liquidating the indebtedness
Of the institution for the purpose of
converting II into a state bank
District Attorney Holton objected to
the ADMISSION OF many or the letters
and several OF them were ruled out.
After the district attorney had made
repeated objections. and when he had
asked that the witness read a certain
letter, Mai. Breeze created a little
amusement by turning to Judge Keller
and saying:
"The district attorney wants me to
read all the letters that are favorable
to him, but he objects to everything
that is in my favor"
The court announced that II was the
prerogative Of the district attorney to
object when he saw fit, and that the
presiding Judge would rule on all mat
ters, as the merits of the case in ques-
tion might deserve.
The witness was starting to tell of
a run on the National Bank of Ashe-
vile, when District Attorney Holton
objected, unless the defense proposed
TO go into the affairs of the National
Bank of Asheville. "If they propose
to do that, I am willing. Some of the
officers of that bank are now in the
penitentiary"
Counsel for the defense objected
seriously TO this remark. Judge Moore
saying it could not be excused on any
ground.

Esopus, N. Y, July 21.-This has
been the quietest day at Rosemount
since Judge Parker's nomination. The
only guest was Henry Loomis Nelson
of Williams College, who remained a
short time.
William F. Sheehan's promised visit
has been deferred until tomorrow, al
though after his arrival from New
I ofk this evening he found time for a
hfteen minutes talk with Judge Park
er. But little could be learned from
Mr.. Sheehan about the Tammany Hall
situation or the Craftsmanship of the
National Committee. He said, how
ever, that no result is likely to be
reached in the craftsmanship contest
before the meeting of the National
Committee in New York next Tuesday.
He did not know, he said, what would
be the final decision of Senator German
should pressure be put upon him to
accept the chairmanship Mr.. Shee-
han said he himself, would remain at
his home until Monday, when it would
be necessary for him to be in New
York.
With reference to the frequently
made statement that an invitation to
visit Rosemount had been received and
ignored by Charles F. Murphy, leader
of Tammany Hail. it is learned that the
report was based upon a remark made
by Bourke Cochran during his recent
call upon Judge Parker. Mr.. Cochran is
said to have suggested such a visit
by the Tammany leader and Judge
Parker said he would be glad to well
come Mr.. Murphy to Rosemount when
nIVs ATrYYy Nv i
lent.
1t is said w. r. Hearst has been in
vited to Rosemount, but no date has
been fixed for his call.
