cords of the other ships of the fleets.

there was no shot, and then | saw

The water was already being poured
into the turret. The boatswain and
Midshipman GravescrOat led the way

In lonely road and assaulted. For
some time, her life was despaired

There is a sad story associated with
his life. A few years ago he came
to his recent home and appeared to
be an industrious young Englishman.
A long courtship bad been existing
between himself and an English girl,
still at Liverpool. The time was set
for their marriage and Lane for

This was afterward explained on the
ground that counsel for the defense
was considering the adVisability of
issuing certain warrants charging
states witnesses with perjury.
Nothing was done and Clarence Oar
row said it was doubtful if any such
steps would be taken.
CALL NO PINKERTONS
The state called but two witnesses
in rebuttal, Notwithstanding Mr..
Hawley's statement that eight or 10
witnesses remained. At the last mo-
ment the prosecution decided not to
call mineowners or Pinkerton detect

their case before the jury AS re-
