MR.. BRYAN AS WITNESS.

William J. Bryan app ared in the
Probate COnrt at New Haven, Conn.,,
yesterday, at hear NJ on the accounts
of the estate of the late Philo s. Ben
nett, of which Mr. Bryan is administra-
tor. During the examination Mr.. Bryan
submitted to a rapid fire of questions
from Judge Henry Slod lard, counsel for
Mrs. Grace |. Bennett, the widow, and
at times considerable impatience was
manifested by both the questioner and
the witness.
Attorney White was first put on the
stand as counsel for ;be administrator to
explain the accounts, but Mr.. Bryan in
terrupted so frequently that Judge Stod-
dard suggested that Mr.. Bryan wait un-
Ill he was on the stand before be attempt
ed to explain matters. Mr.. Bryan then
said
'Your honor, object to the insinu-
ations thrown out by Judge StoddaId.
For Is months | have heart these in
situations and am tired of it. | am
willing to testify. want TO testify"
Judge Stoddard remarked that if Mr..
Bryan would 90 on The stand later he
would ask him questions. The examina-
ton of Mr.. White then proceeded. This
ended Mr.. Bryan took the stand. He
said to the best of his knowledge the
amount presented in court was the exact
amount of the money received from the
estate. He only knew of the value OF the
CO partnership from the appraisers report
and statements made to him by Mr..
Sloan.
''Do you know the face value of the
bills, notes and accounts receivable due
TO Bennett, Sloan & Co., at the time the
business was taken over by the new cor
poration ?" asked Judge S.oddard.
81 only know from the statement filed
that it was 1927, S55. 81" Mr.. Bryan re-
piled.
"In other words, you know it only
from statements made by Mr.. SloaD?'
"Yes, that's all. think no exami-
nation was made except by the aF-
praisers."
When asked about the amount col
lected on notes outstanding, Mr.. Bryan
stated tha. the loss on accounts was
only 81, 500.
1t appeared that on July |, 1904, MIR.
Sloan turned over to Mr.. Bryan as ex.
eculor $l79,S44 but Mr.. Bryan could
not say for how long time this sum
had been accumulating. His statement
that he had allowed the new corporation
30 days time in which to sell merchan-
disc of the estate WAS subjected to some
criticism BY Judge Sloddard, who asked
if had the 90 days time not been given
would it not have been possible 10 have
paid the legacies earlier.
al paid The legacies as fast as my at
torueys thought it safe to pay them, "
replied Mr. Bryan.

KILLED BY A BOMB.

A dispatch from Baku, Caucasis, says
that the governor of Baku, Prince Naka-
chidze. was assassinated at p. m. yes
terday by bomb which was thrown at
his carriage. A lieutenant who was at
companying the governor and abystandeF
were also killed by the explosion, aud the
coachman is believed to have been fatally
injured.
Though no details OF The assassination
of Prince Nakachidze, governor Of Baku,
Caucasia, at Baku, Wedneday, have been
received at st. Petersburg, the expression
there is that the outrage was the work of
the Armenian revolutionary committee, IN
revenge for the attitude taken by the
prince during the racial war between Ar
menians and Tartars in February last,
and is not attributable to Russian terror
lists, even though the latter are at present
extremely active in many parts OF the
empire
Tie Armenians laid the responsibility
for the dea'h of those slain in February
at the door of Prince Nakachidz, and only
Tuesday suit was begun against the prince
before the Senate tribunal at st. Peters
burg, in behalf Of the children ofLalaieff,
Baku millionaire, whose house was
stormed and burned, and himself, his
wife, and parents killed during the riots.
la the suit damages to the amount OF
Sl2. 500 were claimed, it being maintain
ed that the governor, instead OF perform
ing his duty by stopping the massacre,
actually melted the Tartars to attack the
Armenians.
Prince Nakacbidze was popular among
ths Russian element 10 the Caucasus.
He was man of high spirits, and, in
spite of the hatred of the powerful Ar
menian revolutionary committee, he dis.
dained military protection, and appeared
on the streets unattended. He refused
TO heed the warnings and entreaties o.
his friends.
The chief of police of the Snylten dis
trict, Poland, has been shot and serious,
" wounded by a band of roughs. Ter
arrests have been made in connection
with the shooting.
Four person. we're killed and thirty
wounded in a fight at Warsaw last nigh
between Jewish workmen and the Jewlsl
keepers of disorderIy houses. Both side
used knives. The dead and WOUNDED
were terribly mutilated. The quarrel il
said to have originated at a wedding
which took place yesterday.

that it moves the bowels, thus expelling a

the bear kept coming and still Chase

They tried TO break his back, but
owing to the great breadth of him
and the rolls Of fat covering his spinal
column they could not tell where 10

The bear was then but twenty feet
from him.
Livermore's next bullet shattered
Four Toes hip. This wound seemed
TO hurt him more than any he had
received. Standing on his two good
legs he opened his jaws and tore at
the ground
While he stood, Chase, with his last
cartridge, sent home the bullet which
finished Four Toes.
He threw up his head with one final,
despairing roar. He tried TO gather
himself for a last dash at his enemy
But a film was spreading over his
eyes and he was tottering on his two
remaining legs. In spite Of himself
and the rage ia his heart his great
head dropped. Lower and lower il
sank until it hung upon his chest. An
other second he swayed. Then. with
the triumphant yells Of his enemies
ringing in his ears. he yielded to the
numbness which was creeping over
him. and old Four Toes, the King Of
Silyertips, went down TO rise no more.
