Attorney Talks.

New York, Dec. 6.--Attorney Carver
Of counsel for Herbert d. Newton OF
Brookline, Mass. is quoted as having
said early today that IL President Beck
with, the Oberlin banker, believed that
the Newton loan to Mrs Cassie l.

when Newton loaned the money
the attorney said. "he had no security
whatever except her personal note. The
money was loaned in small amounts
until finally new notes were given to
cover the total amount, loaned. New
ton was shown a note for s500,000. but
/ decline to say whose name appeared
ON IL.
He was also shown the certificate
signed by Iri Reynolds to the effect
that he had s5,OOo.0oO worth of Sc
eurities belonging to Mrs. Chadwick.
When was brought into the case
the first thing l did after a long con-
ference in New York with Mrs. Chad
wick was to obtain an assignment OF
the securities supposed to be held by
Reynolds. Further developments de-
pend on whether Reynolds actually
holds securities to the amount he certi-
fed"
1t was learned this morning that Mrs
Chadwick had summoned to her apart
ments late last night counsel repre-
senting Newton, and also her own
counsel They participated in a con-
ference which lasted until after mid

we had to show that Puter knew II. We
said that we knew II In our opening
statement to you. gentlemen OF the
Jury. and didn't we have to prove 1t?
Then by showing that Puter knew II
and that he went to the land office
with Watson and wrote out the papers
in the Emma Porter claim. we proved
one act Of the conspiracy. There was
one. and they couldn't get away from
lit. Poor Mckinley didn't know any
thing about 1t. possibly, but he did
know about the Howe lands.
The statements We have made in our
opening statement made 1t necessary
to put in our full case before closing al
together, gentlemen OF the jury, you
probably had your minds made up be-
fore the case was half completed. Now,
/ think that II any defense Of my
action in introducing that evidence was
necessary. l have made 1t.
They said that the evidence harms
innocent people. the wife and children
of Puter. We don't kno wthat he has
wife and children. Everybody knew
that he was living openly with Mrs
Watson, travelling around the country
with her and introducing her as his
wife. Now we must keep quiet to save
his wife and children and allow him tC
go free untainted.
Puter's Morals.
IF he had once given thought to his
wife and children he would not now be
here waiting for sentence that may
send him to Jail for the crime he has
committed. What greater disgrace car
there be than that?
Il now want to resent the statement
that Judge o'Day made In regard tc
the American women and the married
men Of this country. | want to resent
the charge made that all women are
alike and that married men intrigue
with women other than their wives.
want to say that l know few married
men who do not commit adultery.
want to say that l believe there are
! hundreds OF married men and women
thousands. yes. millions, Of them In the
United States who obey the laws OF
society and who are good men and
women.
Now what is the defense In tais
case? One thing have noticed is that
others have stolen public lands and
have not been convicted for it. That Is
about the only line of defense in this
case. Another reason is that the at
torney for the government Is going to
be paid for his work Gentlemen OF
the jury, | want to say to you that
every dollar receive from my work
know was honestly received by the
government. Gentlemen of the jury,
want to say that every dollar Judge
O'Day receives for his share in this de-
fense will be from the ill-gotten gains
Of the defendants. II will be part OF
the money they have received by the
sale Of the lands they stole from the
people OF Oregon and the United
States"

WHAT TO DO WITH COTTON.

This is big question with
thousands of Southern farmers.
The great drop in the price of
cotton was stunning surprise
to all who had held their cot
ton. A decline of an eighth or
a quarter of a cent would not
have surprised the farmers SO
mnch, and it certainly would
not have hurt them SO much !;
but no one was looking for cot
ton to go to seven cents.
Some advise one thing and
some another. A New York
man says hold cotton, accord
ing to the following taken from
the News and Observer 9TH:
"Among the visitors to Raj
eigh yesterday was Mr.. H. E..
Hurd, of J. Spencer Turner &
Co., of New York, one of the
largest dry goods houses in the
country.
"He spoke vigorously of the
troubles which were eminent
from the slump in the cotton
market. In speaking of this,
he said that the farmers should
not sell their cotton at the pres
ent low price, but should hold
it, as this would not alone be a
benefit to them, but to the
manufacturers of cotton goods
as well. He said that the mills
had sold ahead at good prices,
and that with low prices fol
raw cotton there would come a
break in the market for piece
goods that would be injurious
all around and throw things
into greater panic. He is an
advocate of stable cotton prices
as best for the farmer; the mill
man, the wholesale and com
mission houses.'
