handwriting expert testified that in
his opinion the body of the letter in
which Platt was alleged to have adj

plaintiff was added after the sena.

RhOtOn Resigns

Little Rock June 14.-Lewis Rhoton yesterday rendered his resigation as prosecuting attor- ney for the Sixth Judicial dis trict to Acting Governor X. o. Pind all, the resignation taking effect immediately. Shortly af terward Governor Pindall ap- pointed Roy D. Campbell, a we'll known Little Rock attorney, to succeed Mir. Rhoton and act as prosecuting attorney until a successor is elected and takes office.
 Mr. Rhoton stated in explana- tion of his resignation that he desired to withdraw entirely from political and official life for the purpose of devoting his time to private law practice. Ill health and the arduous duties of public office were also reasons assigned. It is rumored that MT. Rhoton is to succeed T. M. Mehaffy as general attorney for the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway in Arkansas This rumor was emphatically de denied, however, by Mr. Rhoton, who further declared that he had no intention of taking MT. Me haffey's place.
 The resignation of Mr. Rhotor will, it is thought, result in z peculiar situation in the district convention. The judicial district convention has not met to ratify the nomination of Mr. RhOton tC succeed himself, and MT. Rhotor yesterday publicly announced that he would surrender all claim to the nomination. Hence poll ticians believe.Badly Vinson, can didate against Mr. Rhoton in the prosecuting attorneys race at the last Democratic primary, may go before the convention and claim the nomination instead of MT. RhotOn on the ground that MT. Rhoton has surrender ed all claims to the nomination and that he was next to Mir. RhotoE in votes secured in the primary. MT. Vision last night

today become a member of the Giants
and may be seen in one of the games

Several weeks ago the management Of
the Cincinnati club asked for waivers
Of Pitcher Spade. The New York and

quest. These teams drew lots, and
New York won. About this time his
pitching force being in bad shape Man

use Spade. The latter turned IL ana

on the Red management that 4 mistake
had been made in asking for waivers on
the twirler. but il was too late as
under the rules once a club asks other
members of its organization for such
waivers the same cannot be withdrawn
Fully realizing the mistake made the
owners Of the Reds got busy with Man
