counsel for Mrs Edwards, made mo-
ton that her case be continued. He
made this motion, he said. because

depositions and also examine Mrs. Ed.
wards with regard to the authenticity
of the confession. Counsel for Grea-

this II the case Of Mrs. Edwards was
not continued. because they were both

and one time minister to Turkey and
a veteran of the Mexican and civil
wars, died tonight. aged rs year. Gen.

for several years, but for months he
had kept his family ignorant of his

mined by wasting disease. The death
bed scene was calmness. Besides the
physician only his wifo, son and daugh-
ter-in-law was present. When the

words were expressions of cheer to his
grief-stricken family. Bidding them
farewell, he said. Il am willing to meet
my maker" and lapsed into ,uncon-
sciousness, from which he did not re-
cover.
