Wooster, o., Aug. 2S.-General
Miner testified there is no truth in
the charges that conspiracy existed
when he caused the arrest of Taggart
He said Captain Poore reported that
Taggart was charged by his wife with
having beaten her.
Il sent for Taggart, who said he
must have been crazy and spoke OF
his wife as a woman of perfect vir-
tue. He called upon God to witness
that he had never struck her before.
With two officers 7 called upon Mrs.
Taggart. She said she was afraid for
her life. Her eye was blackened. and
she said one shoulder was bruised.
| ordered Captain Taggart confined IN
| the hospital for her protection. L
made no suggestion, directly or indi-
rectly, that he write an apology to his
wife. At the request of Taggart / re-
/ Trained from preferring charges for
| courtmartial. / had always found
Taggart good officer and never had
cause to complain before, and could
only explain his actions on the ground
he had been drinking too much, which
was not customary for him"
! Mrs. Taggarts attorneys asked the
| court to throw out of evidence Miners
report to the war department, which
| he admitted were demerits against
Taggart which should not have ap--
peared. The court refused the mo-
| ton.
| Miner said in correction of his tes-
| timony that the first order given after
the Taggart arrest was to Lieutenant
Fortesque. ordering him to stay away
from Taggart's house.
The general said he was not drunk
at the dinner party. While cocktails
were served at the start, and wine
was on the table, he drank very little.
Why Taggart Was Locked Up.
The official record of Taggart's
confinement in the hospital was intro
duced. 1t showed sick in line OF
duty, July rs; under arrest. July 3;
commanded to join company after
July s."
Miner thought Taggart was mental
ly unbalanced, as many officers were,
from campaigning in the Philippines,
and had him locked up for observa-
ton. Colonel Hoff reported he found
no signs of mental disturbance. and
ordered him released several days
later.
| \ copy of the report Miner made
of the quarrel between Taggart and
his wife was introduced, Taggart's at
torneys endeavoring to show that only
a part of the incident was reported,
and that that was prejudiced.
Miner admitted his report to the
war department based upon a single
incident as reported by Captain Poor,
| ana admltteu the occurrence was lloI
in the year for which the report was
made.
Taggart's charges against Miner on
file in the war department, were read
in court. Miner is accused of conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man, and it is alleged he took i'm
proper liberties with Mrs. Taggart at
dinner party, and declares he asked
Mrs Taggart to allow him to see her
in the absence of her husband, and
says he went to Taggart's home in the
absence of Taggart and spent some
time alone in the parlor with Mrs.
Taggart and says he acted imprudent-
ly while walking with Mrs, Taggart,
and says he asked Mrs. Taggart to
call him up by telephone not at
the house and he would go by way
not to be seen.

yesterday morning he phoned the po-
lice department that his horse had
again been taken out Officers Red

and concealed themselves near the sla-
BILE to await the return of the midnight
rider. Within an hour he came, riding

STARTS GRADING OF FORSYTH
Great improvement to Be Wrought
There.

The work of improving the pave
m an!s on Forsyth street from Dlxon's
corner to Cotton avenue, long delayed
for lack of material, is to be started at
once. Granite for the cubing has been
placed all along the line preparatory to
beginning the work. The pavement on
the south side will be cut down several
feet, making level walk the entire
length to the avenue. Similar improve
ment will be made on the north side
walk as we'll, where needed, and For.
syth will thus be brought to an even
grade. The work of improvement will
doubtless be extended around the cor
ner into Cotton avenue, where the
pavements are about the toughest in
the city.
