Stewart Affidavit.

In Mr.. CaldwelFs Stewart affldavit-the
one which the New York Herald did not
buy-he took up the story of his life from
the time when, after engineering the fic-
titious burial Of the fictitious" Thomas
Charles bruce and thereby relieving his
friend the Duke Of Portland of the ne
cesstty for leading a double life he came
to New York and became almost at once
the confidential adviser of A. T. Stewart,
then the greatest merchant In America.
In the affidavit which figures In the
present trial Mr.. Caldwell says substan-
TALLY the same thing declaring that he
was well acquainted with the handwrt-
ing OF A. T. Stewart and also that of the
late Judge Henry Hilton. After the death
OF Mr.. Stewart, Caldwell suggests in the
London affidavit, Judge Hilton forged the
merchants signature to a will, having
first destroyed Mr.. Stewards genuine will
Mrs Stewart. it Is stated. learned of this
dupiic1ty and demanded full confession
and restitution. Many letters passed be-
tween her and Judge Hilton. declares
Caldwell. and finally. the affidavit con-
tinues, Judge Hilton wrote out a confess
sion.
Mr. Caldwell goes on to say that Judge
Hilton learned that Mrs Stewart had his
closet in the Stewart mansion. which
stood at the northwest corner of 34th
street and 9Th avenue, where the Knick-
erbocker Trust Company building is now
In the affidavit regarding which he testi-
fed yesterday he further declares that
Judge Hilton himself in some way got ac-
cess to these papers and removed them
from the Stewart house, after whic, they
came into Caldwelrs possession throug
the duplicity Of q clerk. Right here is
where the first divergence occurs between
the first or London affidavit and the sec
end one, which Mr.. Caldwell offered to
the Herald.

They are talking of a new state
capitol in New Hampshire. and those
who have visited the old structure at
CONCORD where the laws are made and

needs a new capitol more than New
Hampshire does. and as the Granite

where, for that matter, can do business
without this volume close at hand up

In comparing the two murders in
Maine during 1906 with the AZ
homicidcs in Connecticut in the same
period of time an injustice was done
43 "homicidcs' were not all murders.
as 10 of them were accidental killings,
several were in self defense. and others
would be considered as of the man
slaughter grade. Cutting out these,
however. there still remains the I'M
pleasant fact that Connecticut, with a
population less than one fourth greater
than Maine had over a score of cases
of deliberate murder against two in
oul own State-and one of these two
was a case of manslaughter at that.
OF course Maine has no right to boast
over its good behavior last year. for
1906 was an exceptional year in this
respect There has probably been no
year in the memory of man when the
State did not have more than one or
two murders and there may be no year
for generations. if ever, when the state
is again so fortunate. Nevertheless, 1t
feels like INDUCING in the privilege of
pointing to it's 1906 record to refute
those who not long ago were talking
of q murder epidemic in this State. and
also those who have claimed that the
absence of capital punishment is an
encouragement to murderers.

Phenomenal Tide Of Prosperity.

ANY review of the technical and
scientific progress of the past year
must necessarily take note of the truly
phenomenal tide of prosperity, which
haS continued to rise steadily through
out the year. and shows at it's close no
signs of abatement. An analysis of
the causes of this prosperity shows it
to be founded upon the rapid and very
thorough development Of the abundant
natural resources of the country, and
among these, undoubtedly. the most
important factor has been that Of aSri-
culture. Never before, in the history
of the United States. have the farming
interests been so favOrably situated;
and the excellent conditions are at
tributed to a series of abundant har-
vests. which have enabled the farmer;
not only to get rid of heart breaking
mortgages. but to reStock their farms.
