Prayers for Weldon.
Mrs. Mary J. Brady was called to tes-
tify as to a conversation she had with
Mrs. Lucy Beali, in which Mrs BeaIl is
alleged to have asked Mrs Brady to
pray for Bun" Weldon. as she did not
wish him convicted, and to have told
her that negro man had seen the Gel
riches trying to bury the body of a wo-
man. She was also asked questions
tending TO show that Mrs. Lucy BeaIl
mad a poor reputation for truth and We

these questions out upon objection by
the Government attorneys.
Inc testimony of Charles w Olden

was 70 the effect that young Beall had
told hun upon enc occasion that he cx-
pected To get some money out of tes-
Trying IN the Weldon trial. He did not

the questions Mr.. Mitchell asked, except

defendant. told of a conversation she
had at her house with Lucy Beall. In
that conversation, witness stated Mrs
Lucy Beall asked her not to say she

Jessie Beall, and that If she had it

The Afternoon Session.
The first witness called at the after
noon session was Robert s. Boswell, the
court stenographer, who took the testi-
mony at the Coroner's hearing on the
Weldon case. Several members of the
Beall family testified during the pres
ent trial that they had not said certain
things before the Coroner's jury. and
Mr. Boswell was put on the stand that
the accuracy of his report might be
gone into by the court. The examina-
ton OF Mrs. Oelrichs testimony was
first taken up.
The first question asked was If Mrs
Oelrichs did not say that her mother
was friendly to Weldon and had gone

Mr.. Boswell replied that according TO
his notes Mrs. Oelrichs had made

in the bond market so widely commented
upon was due largely to the buying of
high grade securities by dealers in an
ticipation of a mid-year demand. which
has actually developed according To eX-

pectatious, in fact, and bonds such as
are most in demand are really scarce at
