CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
Case Where Innocent Man Would
Have Been Accused.

"Several years ago took late train
from Boston to New York. said man
in business 10 Kansas City. In the
morning was awakened earlier than
usual by the porter, who said that a
robbery had been committed On the
sleerer during the night and that all
the passengers would have TO get up.
Someone had taken six 800 bills from
the clothing of gentleman who occn
pied berth IN the middle of the car.
Every section had been taken before. he
left Boston, ana as the train had been
almost constan fly in motion II seemed
certain that the person who had commit
ted the theft was still on the car The
porter said no one had been aboard but
the passengers and that none of them
had left. 1t was proposed to search ev-
erybody. A man who had berth direct
~ opposite from the one who had bsen
robbed objected. He told his name and
said anyone might easily find that he
was man of good reputation. In the
meantime some officers boarded the car
and after little swearing got the money
from the colored porter, who was the
guilty one. Then the passenger who had
refused to be searched asked the officers
to examine his pockets. This seemed
strange but he insisted, In an inside
pocket they found six 500 bills. 1t was
merely a coincidence that he should have
the same amount of money as the other
passenger had lost, and in exactly the
same denominations, but he knew that
under the circumstances he could hard
ly establish his innocence. How was that
for a case of circumstantial evidence?"

San Francisco Customs Officials of
Opinion That They Are.
San Francisco, Nov. 23.-Japan is
on the verge of bankruptcy, according
to the conclusion of custom house Of
fetal here. The official draws this con-
clusion from the fact of an enormous
importation of Japanese merchandise
at ruinously low prices. So great has
been the volume of Japanese importa-
lions during the last three months
that Collector Stratton has been forced
to hunt for a new appraisers store.
japanese goods are selling for so per
cent. less than the price asked a year
ago, and all sales must be cash. An
immense quantity of articles formerly
bringing high price are being inn
ported by local firms, which are filing

ENORMOUS FIGURES.
sl2.5O0 Wsrth Of Turkeys ship
ped BY Will Barker to
New York.
FIVE SOLID CAR LOADS.
And 1900 Turkeys Were Killed To
Fill The Order Other Ship
ments Fill The Total.

VIII Barker shipped last week two
car loads of dressed turkeys &c the New
York market and has sent out three adj
ditional car loads this week to the same
market It takes about 1900 turkeys t.
fill car and their value is about $500
so the shipment OF turkeys for the
Thanksgiving market from this one es-
adjustment will amount to SIP 500.
These ii ures look large aud they are
large, but fe " people realize the magni-
tude of the poultry business in Maury
County. The greater number of these
turkeys were brought TO Colum bis and
dressed here, though part of them were
dressed at Culleoka, Petersburg and
other points and shipped in by express
when they were placed in the big refrig-
orator cars for New York.
TO fill this shipment750O turkeys were
needed. Add to this the turkeys ship
ped by other dealers and the turkeys
needed for the local market and the
total will run we'll over 10000.
Mr.. Barker is shipping each week to
New York from 1000 to 1000 dressed hens
no small item in itself. The firm has
always been enterprising and has paid
out many thousands of dollars to farm
ers' wives in all parts OF Maurv County.

WASA. C. PARKER A SUICIDE?
Evidence at the Coroner's Inquest
Points in That Direction.
The Coroner, However, Declines to
Make Any Comment Until the
Verdict is Rendered.

Cincinnati. Nov. 23.-Convulsive
movements of the hands, frothing at
the mouth, dilated pupils, and pun
gent odor of peach kernels, are some
OF the things mentioned by different
witnesses In the inquest held by Cor
oner Weaver that give color to the the
ory of suicide in connection with the
sudden death of Second Vice-President
G. A. Parker, of the Cincinnati, Ham,
ilton & Dayton and Fere Marquette
system, who was buried in st. Louis.
DR.. s. G. Grimes, the first physician
called, testified:
1T looks like case of poisoning
from cyanide of potash or prussic acid.
I formed an opinion that it did not
look like natural death. l examined
his eyes and found the pupils were di-
lated At that time noticed pun
gent odor. / think it came from the
patient. 1t smelled like peach kernels"
Miss Rose Hageman, who was Par
ker's stenographer since October 81.
testified that she was with him the
greater part of the morning and saw
him at intervals in the afternoon uris
til he died. She said he was not drink
ing, so far as she could see, nor did
she know any. reason why he should
have taken his own life.
Clarence Cobb testified he noticeu
Parker just before he fell. His hands
were quivering and he made a motion
as II his nose was bleeding. He did
not notice any. odor from the dying
mans mouth, but noticed froth on the
lips.
The testimony of these witnesses
concluded the inquest with the excep-
ton of securing the family history of
Mr.. Parker. The coroner is weighing
the evidence already in, and says he
will refrain from any comment on the
case until he is -eady to render his
verdict.
