forward to fill the place The lines thinned
and shortened, but never wavered never

Now they break into double-quick, while
canister and grape are hurled into them with
the fury of desperation as they dash on to the
stone wall where the Federal batteries are
pouring forth their fearful fire. The force that
was hurrying to attack the flank suddenly
halted, a hundred yards away, sending
deadly storm of musketry down the line.
Though sixty to one, the right flank could not
Federals. The fighting was terrific Muskets
crossed. Men fired to the right and front into
each others faces. They fought hand to hand.
The Federals fell back behind the guns to let
them belch again, piling up the dead and
wounded almost in touch of them. The line
was within few feet of the stone wall, when
the artillery delivered their last fire from guns
shotted to the muzzle.
Armistead sprang over the wall, followed
by some one hundred and fifty men, to capture
the Federal guns Lieutenant Gushing, NOR
tally wounded ran his last serviceable gun
toward the wall shouting to his commander;
" Well give them one more shot, Webb fired
the gun, and fell. Armistead's hand rested on
Cushings gun he cried Come on, boysi
Come on Well give them cold steel! Come

From the edge of the woods Lee and Long
street saw the blue flag of Virginia float above
the crest But alas the promised support was
not there. Its leaders were dead or wounded
1t had crumbled away under the hail of the
artillery fire. and back from the flaming crest

not five.
"Hush Silence Keep covert he
painted breathlessly "Stafnitz is here al
ready; at least there are men in the barn, and
horses tethered outside, and the barges are on
the river, just above the lock The sentry
saw us. He challenged and fired and one of
us dropped. 1t must be Stafnitz.'
Stafnitz it was. General Stenovics had
failed to allow for the respect which his col
league entertained for his abilities. If Stem
OWES expected him back at Slavna with his
guns on the Sunday, Stafnitz was clear that
he had better arrive on Saturday. To this
end he had strained every nerve The stream
was with him, flowing strong, but the wind
contrary; his barges had not made good
progress. He had pressed the horses of his
company into service on the towing path
Stenovics had not thought of that. His rest
at Rapska had been only long enough to give
his men and beasts an hours rest and food and
drink To his pride and exultation, he had
reached the lock at Miklevni at nightfall on
Friday, almost exactly at the hour when
Sophy's expedition set out on its ride to inter
cept him. Men and horses might be weary
now; Stafnitz could afford to be Indifferent
to that. He could give them good rest, and
yet, starting at six the next morning, be in
Slavna with them and the guns in the course
of the afternoon. There might be nothing
wrong, OF course; but 1t was no harm to fore

foated for a moment over Cemetery Hill lay
on the ground among the PROSTATE forms

OF the five thousand who had followed where
the flash of Pickett's sword lit the way to the
glory of a brave defeat, three thousand five
hundred and seventy-six had found the sol

remained Garrett, who had won laure IN

Pickett, who most of all had courted death
by his daring, found himself alone. In one
short hour the glory and pride of Virginia

Walking back from the charge beside KEN

NO LONGER ANY DOUBT THAT
CONDUCTOR RIGGS KILLED
MlLLlE ELLISON.
SAFE DEPOSIT VAULT BROKEN OPEN
MARKED $1,000 BILLS AND OTHER
INcRlMiNATlNG EVIDENCE
Is DISCOVERED.

Minneapolis, July 14.-WhateveT
doubt may have existed as to the guilt
OF Nathan M. Riggs of the foul murder
OF M1llie Ellison in the National hotel
On Thursday last has dissipated and
the absolute proof of his damnable
guilt foreve: established Acting upon
the advice Of the county attorney of
Hennepin county the authorities broke
open safety deposit lecker which.
Riggs had in the Guaranty Safety De
poslt vaults in the Metropolitan Life
building. .
Mrs. Riggs had refused to turn over
the keys to the authorities, declaring
that she would do nothing to further
incriminate her husband.
The officers were certain that this
locker contained eyideace of Riggs
guilt, but even they were surprised at
the startling evidence it disclosed.
First Of all, and most damnable of
all, were the two $1,000 bills given to
Miss Ellison by Tel!er A: II. Riley OF
the National Bank Of Commerce. three
hours before her murder These tw,
bills had been punched by the telle,
in order that Miss Ellison might rea..
lily distinguish them. When shown
the bills the teller at once identified
them as being the ones he had given
Miss Ellison. -,
Over IS 900 Cash Recovered.
The vault contained other cash,
bringing the total up to $4,000. There
was also certificate of deposit for
$3.50 on the Citizens bank of Elroy:
Wis. It was dated Jan. 8, 1906, which
was about the time that Miss Ellison
had given Riggs $500, as she supposed
to invest in land in Washington.
Then there was a statement signed
by Mile Ellison in which she de.
clared that she had never been en-
gagged to Riggs and that he had never
made love to her. This statement
was dated 1903, and Was evidently
written by Miss Ellison at Riggs re-
quest to show to his wife and screen
himself at the time Riggs and his wife
had trouble.
The locker also contained a gold
ring with Riggs initials on the inside
The ring had been given to Miss Eli
son by Riggs and was evidently taken
from her finger at the time he killed
her. The finger showed plainly that
ring had been forcibly removed. A
gold watch, which he had given the
dead woman, was also found in the
deposit vault. These things show that
Riggs planned to remove everything
from the dead woman's body that
might lead to the Identification of the
