and the imperial appanages stand in
the proud position of being the largest

This is the reason why Russian grand

Statement of Dsfense.

For the defense the case was stated
by Attorney Homer Fellows, of Hud-
son. Mich. He is also counsel for
Ira Bryant. who has thus far success
fully resisted extradition. Mr.. Eel
lows gave a biographical sketch OF
the defendant. who was born at West
Unity. being a son of former Repre-
sentative VIM. Letcher. George took
d business course at Oberlin, was
once employed by a large Toledo firm.
and at the time of this fire owned
half the business blocks in E'ayettc,
but haa no property in Montpelier.
Mr.. Fellows denied that Letcher
prolited to the eNent of a penny by
the Montpelier fire. or that Ira Bry-
ant V e collected any of the insur-
ance money.
lit will appear" said the attor-
ney, ''that Jack Page had never seen
Ia Bryant prior to the fire: that
Jack Page said, while a convict IN
the Michigan penitentiary, that Sol
Wynn hired him to start that fire,
agreed to pay him 5000 an still owes
him $500 that he never claimed un-
til Sol Wynn died. Neither Letcber
nor Bryant was interested in the

Bryant is ID leading resident of Hud-

GEORGE LeTcAes ON TRIAL
George l.et,her Being Tried at BRYAN

mitted Years Ago
mitted Years Ago

Through the kindness of ID. Is.
Miller The Republican, has receiNet
several copies of the Toledo, Ohio.
Blade, which gives detailed and IN.
teresting accounts OF the trial ci
George Letcher at Bryan. Ohio, ou
the charge OF alson MIR. Letcher, ii
Will he remembered, was a forme,
resident of Mitchell, leaving here
along in 1855 and moving To MiuneaQ-
Oils, thence to California. Along in
November Letcher was indicted ut
Bryan. Ohio, for completely in tla
arson cases which were committed
some II wears ago, and after et-
forts had neatly been exhausted in
securing his eNtradition from Cali
fornia, he was finally Kidnapped ay
the lire MARSHAL OF Ohio, and taken
back to that state. The trial, which
is now in progress, is arousing u great
deal of excitement in that part of
the state. and an extraordinary tight
is being made by his attorneys to
secure Letcher's freedom.
His attorneys stated that the line
of defense to be put up Mas that OF
an alibi in all the cases in Which he
is charged, which, we understand
are fourteen. The defense will also
attack the character of the state
witnesses, some of whom have served
terms in the penitentiary for these
crimes and are brought from their
cells to testify in the case. Below
we give the statement Of Judge
Bowersox. who is n of the attor-
neyS Of the state. of what is to be
proven against Letcher:
ave believe that the State will
show that in the autumn OF 1880,
Letcher, Ira Bryant. Sol Wynn and
John Page entered INTO a conspiracy
at Montpelier, Ohio, to erect d store
building, hastily gather a lot of cheap
goods, obtain large insurance vastly
above the value of the property.
then to have the whole thing de-
stroyed by fire and the insurance
money divided among Letcher, Wynn,
Bryant and Others of the comblna-
ton. Bryant became the purchaser
of a store building adjoining the new
establishment. and stocked 1T also
with groceries, having that insured
in like manner.
1.-The evidence will disclose that
Jack Page was a confidential agent OF
Letcher, and that Letcher, Bryant
and Page were most active in the
conspiracy resulting in the fire of
January 4, 1881. 1t may not appear
that Letcher was an owner of the
burned stores, but 1T will appear
thai he was, nevertheless, engaged in
the scheme and was seen in Montpe-
lier the evening before the fire: that
Letcher and Page personally started
the fire, using coat oil, with which
they saturated some of the goods
that they remained in the bIilding
until it was i'm flames, and then went
to Fayette. Pratt & Wynn collected
the insurance money, which was
then divided among the conspirators.
1.-The evidence will show that
Leteher was the originator of the
scheme to bring about these results ~

A Veg Theory of sleep.

An interesting and novel theory of
sleep has recently been put forward by
DR.. ClapareGe. Il French scientist. who
holds that sleep is a positive function
or an instinct designed to arrest func-
tioning. Dr. Claparede makes the as
sertion that We sleep not because we
are intoxicated or exhausted. but in or
der to avoid such conditions. Not only
are there various kinds and degrees Of
sleep. but it Goes not always follow ex-
hauStion. Furthermore, it is we'll known
that sleep is not proportional to the
degree of exhaustion, and it may be
either total or partial. In measuring
the pr~ofounaneSs of sleep various cen
ditions are encountered which are not
susceptible Of explanation on the toxic
theory. but which agree perfectly With
the hypothesis that 1t is Il positive
nervous function. The definition of
sleep. according to this new theory. is
a reaction produced by various excl
tants and is an inhibition which mani
tests itself ~suhiectively by a lack of in
terest in exterior things. Harper's
