 When the case was called yesterday morn ing, some fifty odd witnesses were sworn. Those who had come to testify Tor the Government or the defense. erowdeo tns corridor on the second floor of the Federal Building.
 EaRerton is a farmer and q magistrate. and has heen well known for yeass in Coffee County He is accused of passing spurious s5. % gold pieces. These coins he claims to have gotten in exchange Tor seo.oV m greenhacks from Len Shivers. now serving a term in the Federal prison at Atlanta for counterfeiting. The transactions are alieg- ed to have taken place in 1903.
 Numerous character witnesses were intro duced by both District Attorney Parsons and the counsel for the defense. It seems that a great amount of interest has been taken in the case in Coffee County. and both sides took advantage of this to trv to prove that the witnesses for the opposition were biased
 U.S Fuller. witness for the prosecution was subjected to searching inquiry while on the stand by the counsel for the defense after he had testified that Eagerton's char acter had for several years been bad. the defense asked him if he had not written q letter in regard to the case to one of the jurors during the present term of court
 T have" said the witness.
 Judge Jones warned the witness that he need not answer questions which would in- criminate him, as the writing of letters to jurors having case under advissment was a serious offence.
 Mir. Fuller was shown an annoyWous let ter which had been received by J. D. Ray. one of the iurymen. He said 1t was not written by him. and that he had never writ- ten letter without signing his name. &
 The District Attorney will make an inves- tigation of the authorship of the letter. The substance of the epistle was an urgapt request that the defendant be convicted be- cause he was bad man. Fna-s .
 All the evidence was heard yesterday af- ternoon. and the arguments will be made by the attorneys this morning

Belt
 As forecaste6, the documents prove to sbo very interesting. lacking little of ahe remarkable qualities which are attributed to the bequests of Cecil Rhodes. Y, .,.l-s.-..,. .'sgssssi. srs.
 The sums enumerated make the vast total of $9,650, 900, not including the value of the estate bedueathed to his native city Of Hamburg or the art treasures bestowed on the national gall aerY and the museumB of Berlin and Hatiburg. It is, however. believed that the aggregate will be not far short of 3l2.500.00o
 The most notable srovisions of the will Is that in which body of trus- tees get control of Se.0eo,000 10 be used fin the development and construction of meants of communication, transmission by railway, telegraphs and wireless teleRraphy and telephone in Rhodesia and upon the Cape to Cairo railway, which, with other bequests for South Africa. demonstrate that Mir.
