ciently recovered yesterday so that the
case could proceed
r. r. Conant concluded his testimony.
lie said that while he was inspecting the
work done by Greene and Gaynor on the
Cumberland sound contract he had never
seen a mattress OF the first. second or
third design that was pat in according
10 specifications.
The witness was asked II he had not
had fight with Contractor a. j. Twiggs
near Augusta while he was inspecting
for the government the work that was
being done by Twiggs. He answered thar
Twiggs had struck him.
The court interrupted to state that he
considered this irrevelant. as the witness
had probably replied with a blow If
Twiggs had struck him.
1--WE will show the contrary" said Mr.
Osborne OF counsel for the defence. Did
you strike back Mr. Conant' No; /
was there on business for the government
and Withdrew from the difficulty" said
Mr.. Conant. capt. Twiggs later apollo
gized."
Mr. Twigss succeeded Mr. Conaut on
the stand and described the work that
had been dore on the contract al Au-
gusta. Twiggs said he came to savan-
nah In September. 1891, and saw John F.
Gaynor at one OF the hotels
lie said Gaynor told him he understood
Twiggs was going TO bid on the contract
and suggested that they might come TO
terms Gaynor said ne thought Greene
and Gaynor ought to nave all the work
In the district. and agreed TO take all
stone required from "quarries near Au-
gusta owned by Twggs."
He paid Twiggs $500 bonus IF Twiggs
were eliminated. Gaynor told him. h.
said, then there would be no other bldder
than Greene and Gaynor According 10
Twiggs, the following conversation en-
sued:
You are mistaken" said Twiggs.
"Deming Of Augusta intends TO bid
Are you sure?" asked Gaynor.
The witness said he was sure, where
upon Gaynor rang for messenger and
pencilled a note saying he would fix that
Then he sent the note. and in a short
time the messenger returned with reply.
This Gaynor read. appeared satisfied, and
said: There will be no other bids" and
tore the reply into small bits.
District Attorney Edwin told Mr.. Twiggs
TO tell now ne Was OppItsStu uS Rei tei
in the carrying out OF the contract az
Augusta. At this period the defence OBJ
jected. and for an hour the question was
argued.
The district attorney Insisted IN his
argument that Twiggs was merely
means to an end. and that the con-
spracy itself was set forth IN the indict-
ment with sufficient fullness.
He said he proposed later 20 show the
oppression upon Venable Brothers ~ At
lanta, upon whom the defendants Greene
and Gaynor and Carter, worked a most
iniquitous scheme
Mr. Osborne and Col Meldrhn FOR the
defence and tile district attorney and

BOY MARCON|S
DERANGE UNCLE
SAM s WIRELESS

Commander Albert Gleaves, L. S. n,
csrimandas~ of the United States naval
torpedo station at Newport, has declared
war on the boy wireless telegraph experts
Of Newport who number five or six
Three OF them, Charles Fielding Lloyd
Manuel and Simeon Westal Jr. have
perfected systems Of their own that
really work, and they frequently call up
the wireless operators at the station and
also the steamboats, OF the Fall River
line
Sunday one of the boys interfered
with the sending OF a messqgs from the
station. and Commander Geaves has re-
ported the matter TO Washington.
Although the young operator I'm ques-
tion has only a broken-off electric light
bulb for a received and an ordinary
Morse key for a sender. he is apparently
able TO do very good work, and the
wave lengths from his battery OF eight
dry cells have many times mudded up
the system Of the navy department
Commander Gleaves I'm his report goes
into the details OF the boys plant. but
the most interesting part IL IL all is that
this youngster has been able by his own
ingenuity TO erect such complete plant.
on the roof OF his home he has two
15-foot poles and between them are swung
three copper wires with a connecting
wire running down TO his Instruments
Then he makes his ground through the
water pipes in the house. and Is able TO
sendsan receive messages. As yet he
has not coupled up with any other sys
tenn.
There Is no doubt but that these young
Marcons. though they may not mean to,
are seriously impairing the efficiency OF
the wireless plant at the naval station,
and Commander Gleaves has reported the
matter 10 the navy department In the
hope that some law can be passed TO pre-
vent the interference.
Here Il Is considered very doubtful If
anything can be done. as 1t Is difficult
To see how the boys can be prevented
from generating a current and projecting
1t into the air. One OF the boy experts
said last evening that he expected trouble
after he called up the torpedo station on
Sunday and was ordered TO keep off.
