SOMETHING ADDED TO
EACH OF LETTERS. IT IL SAID

In crOss-eXamination Attorney
Franklin adduced that each one OF
them had made a signed statement
for the government 10 the effect that
more had been added to the letters
than what they had themselves in
dited. Coz said he had signed the
statement under protest. ne
was not sure hat his allegations were
correct. Goodell insisted that some
thing had been added to his but he
could not tell Just what. lie could not
be shaken from this idea. Porterhelj
after examining his letter closely ad-
mitted that he was wrong in thinking
that additional statements a been
written.
Herbert Rowlee the famous "Yaqui
Indian came next. RoWlte testified
that he met George n Lee Dubois

Silver city. They lived near him he
said and they became very friendly
one night he testified he told them
about the cave and some of the lc-
gends connected with It. They wanted
him to take them through il. but ne

cave. After that the place was u

SHERIDAN STATUE REJECTED.
Design Prepared by J. @. A. Ward
Is Not satisfactory.

Owing mainly to the objections Of Mrs
Philip Sheridan, widow of the great cav
airy leader. the design for his statue, ex-
ecuted by J. Q. A. Ward, of New York,
has been rejected by the committee. The
statue commission now consists of Secre-
tary Taft. Senator Wetmore, Representa-
tive McCleary. and Gen. ,Corbin. Sculptor
Ward has been for many years engaged
on the work.
His first design, executed some years
ago, was approved, by the committee, but
did not satisfy the artist, who destroyed
it. The latest design was viewed several
times by Mrs. Sheridan, who did not con-
slider it good likeness Of the general. and
who expressed her views to the committee.
A meeting win be held shortly by the
committee, when ii will determine
whether competitive designs will De in
vited or whether the work will be in
trusted to some other well-known Amer
