THE JEFFERSONIAN.

establishment, to say the least, would have
manifested itself at once had we not been in
formed by this same veracious press, that in
the rooms of Averbuch had been discovered
letters of the most dangerous character, clear
ly connecting him with groups of anarchists
again. When this terrifying news reached us,
we took to thinking of the boy shot by the
Chief, as sort of animated bomb liable to
explode under the slightest touch; and we only
marveled that he could be killed at ALL How
ever, it transpired later on that these damag-
ing manuscripts were nothing but letters to
the boys mother, mentioning neither anarchy
nor the vegetation in Franz Josef land. One
of the papers was computation Of the price
of eggs at twenty-thtee cents the dozen, be-
lieve. This was bad, but scarcely what we
had been taught to fear. These facts being
made known to us, we ceased to look under
our front steps at night for lead pipe filed
with dynamite.
No sooner, however, had our nerves been
restored to something resembling their proper
condition, than we found out that among the
effects of Selig Siverstein, who is said to have
attempted to hurl a bomb at a policeman in
Union Park, New York, we're found once more
filled again and again with illusions to Emma
Goldman the unspeakabe. And now our hair
rose In renewed horror, and we made up our
minds that Silverspin either lied or did not
know what he was talking about, when he said
that he was angry because the week before
policeman had dubbed him without cause and
forbidden him to make speech. The papers
discovered on this occasion, so we were in
formed, were Of such character that the po-
lice department positively refused to betray
their entire contents at the time; but in gen
eral way we learned that they contained "fre-
quent references to astonishing plots against
great fnanciers and against the money inter
ests." 1t now appears that they" consisted
in card of membership in the Anarchist Fed
Grafton, and that there is no evidence to show
that Silverstein acted in collision with any
others in the committing of the crime This
being the case, we rather cease to exult in the
spectacle of ''curveting steeds' knocking
down defenseless men, women and children I'M
der their hoofs, and begin to wonder what
in the name of common decency and the lib
erty that some of us supposed we had, wera
mounted policemen thinking of to drive their
horses over the bodies of inoffensive American
working folk?
In view of the difference between the way
we look at all these disturbances when accom-
panied by plots, and the manner in which they
more definitely about these anarchistic tales

OF POST-MoRTEM PRAISES.
I've noticed when a fellow dies no matter
what he's been
sanity chap or one whose life was darkly
stepped in sin
His friends forget the bitter words they spoke
but yesterday,
And now they find multitude Of pretty
things to say.
I fancy when | go to rest some one will bring
to light
Some kindly word or goodly act long buried
out Of sight;
But, if it s all the same to you, just give to
me instead
The bouquets while | m living and the knock
ing when [ IN dead
Don't save your kisses to imprint upon my
marble brow,
While countless maledictions are hurled upon
me now;
Say just one kindly word to me while mourn
here alone,
And don't save all your eulogy to carve upon
stone!
What do 1 care if when I m dead the Bloom
ingdale Gazette
Gives me a write-up with a cut in mourning
borders set;
1t will not fatter me bit, no matter what
is said,
So kindly throw your bouquets now and knock
me when I'm dead.
It may be fine, when one is dead, to have the
folks talk so,
To have the flowers come in loads from rela-
tives you know;
It may be nice to have these things for those
you leave behind,
But just as far as I m concerned, really do
not mind
I'm quite alive and we'll today, and while
inger here,
Lend me helping hand at times-give me
a word of cheer.
Just change the game little Bit just kindly
swap the decks,
For l will be no judge of flowers when I've
cashed in my checks.

skillful lawyers of the prosecution.
When he left the stand, II was ad-
mitted that he had been a strong wit
ness In his own behalf. All through
his testimony be denied statements of
fact made by several witnesses, but by
admitting words which they had re-
peated and giving them a new mean
ing, his denial took the form of cor
Teetion in many instances rather than
a refutation. As he claims to have
witnesses who will corroborate his
story, the placing of Spencer upon the

Tense is looked upon as the beginning
OF an effort to explain away many
things brought out by the prosecution
which seemed against him.
The case was adjourned until Mon

the most fruitful causes of failure in all
walks of life. The battle of Waterloo was
lost because of a headache. In this quick

RIGID CROSS-ExAMINAT!ON

Intimating that the sister and daugh-

listening at the door of the court room
while he was giving his testimony. As

yesterday morning, when the hearing
was resumed, formally notified Police

Mr.. Meyers, that while Spencer was
testifying yesterday afternoon his sis
ter and his two daughters stood close
TO the. door leading from the court room
and were able TO hear what the wit

The assistant county attorneys
words caused a ripple of interest in the
court room.
Judge Diehl said he would take up
the matter at the proper time.
Spencer was called to the stand and
resumed his testimony. To each ques-
ton as TO his guilt of the alleged Of
tense against 14-year-old Hannah Ivy
Wallace, he made a denial of fervent
force.
'I am as innocent of wrongdoing
with that child" he exclaimed, "as God
in high heaven. I am as innocent as
newborn babe"
Denies kneeIing Episode.
He admitted that on the night he
learned that charges had been made
against him he had sent his son in a
carriage to Granger to bring home his
daughter, who was then visiting the
Wallace family at Granger. This, he
said. was not because he feard that his
daughter would be induced to make
damaging statements. but was for the
purpose of taking the child away from
the dangerous influences of persons
who, he alleged, had allowed him TO be
falsely accused.
Concerning the statement of Mrs.
Ann c. Bertosh, grandmother of the
Wallace child. that Spencer had fallen
upon his knees and begged her to in
1ercede for him. Spencer made a fiat
denial of the aged woman's testimony.
II did not kneel TO her" he said
Several persons were present at the
time and saw all that transpired"
Asked why he had sought the con-
ference with the Wallace and Bertosh
families he said that his purpose was
not to implOre forgiveness for a con-
fessed offense, but to ask for justice
and the withdrawal of the charges.

been many such cases"
Stands Fire of Questions.
Spencer was subjected to a long
Cross-examinatiOn. during which all of
the revolving details of the charge
against him were gone over. The ac-
cused man stood the fire of humiliating
questions without flinching. He had
evidently prepared himself for the or
deal. and the firmness and sometimes
exaggerated force of his replies showed,
although he endeavored to hide it. that
his nerves were strung almost to the
breaking point.
In the court room were those who be-
1ieved in his innocence and those who
believed i'm his guilt. But all were i'm
