With Wooer.

left Cotton May IT, came direct to Los
Angeles and stopped at the Hotel Ross
lyn on South Main street. At this
juncture the young woman seemed
nervous and 1t was with difficulty that
she kept from sobbing. From time TO
time she would pass her handkerchief
across her face, and made brave and
successful efforts to keep up her cour-
age. She never faltered in answering
the questions put to her, but looked
the attorney straight in the eyes and
replied in a firm and even tone. MISS
Spring was attired in a white waist, a
neat fitting black skirt, wore a White
straw sailor hat, wore long gloves, and
a gold chain, from which cross de-
pended, circled her neck.
Doesn't Remember
She was asked If she had ever ad-
dressed an envelope to r. r. Suther-
land, at Cotton. She replied she did
not remember. When the envelope in
question was handed her for the pur-
pose of identification she admitted that
it was her handwriting, but stated tnat
she had no recollection of ever having
addressed 1t. She also was handed the
kilograms alleged to have been sent
by Snyder to Stanley and was asked II
she could identify the writing as that
of Snyder. This she was unable to do
On cross-examination she testified
she knew nothing about the circum-
stances of writing the address on the
envelope, then in the next breath said
she was pretty sure 1t was one she
wrote while staying at the Hotel Ross
lyn in Los Angeles.
Ask Continuance
She was excused, and the prosecution
announced it would rest The attor-
neys who had been representing the
defendant asked that they be allowed
to talk to Snyder, as they had had lit
tie opportunity to do so. The accused
man and the attorneys had short
consultation, and his counsel asked for
a continuance on the grounds that they
wished to talk with their client and
arrange their defense. This was
granted by the justice and the hearing
was continued until 2 o'clock Monday
afternoon.
r. r. Sutherland, vice president and
general manager of the Gregory Fruit
company, who is jointly charged with
conspiring with Snyder to forge the
telegram by which Stanley was in
duced to come back into the state, was
next arraigned and held in bonds of
$4,000 to answer in the superior court.

Deputy Sheriff Dan Crowley was sent
with Caloo to the wilkins home, where
it. was denied that the woman was

Seeming to nerve herself for the or
deal, and with great difficulty sup
pressing her desire to burst into tears,
Miss Edna Spring, whose elopement
with Virgil Leslie Snyder to Nevada
was brought to an unromantc termina-
ton by the arrest Of Snyder on a
charge of forging kilograms, testifled
at his hearing yesterday.
1t is alleged Snyder forged telegrams
which brought back to California
Thomas j. Stanley of Denver in order
that a civil process might be served
on him.
Miss Spring was on the witness
stand yesterday afternoon in Justice
Selph's court and testified regarding
the alleged forgery. She was the last
witness to be called by the prosecution.
Operator c. F. McReynolds was the
first to testify. He was asked if Snyder
was the man who sent the kilograms
from Dolgeville to Stanley at Denver.
He replied in the affirmative.
Several other witnesses testified to
the effect that they had seen Snyder
and Miss Spring together.
Miss Spring was called and, after be-
ing sworn, was, at the suggestion of
the attorneys for the defense. told by
Justice Selph that she had the right
to refuse to answer any questions that
would incriminate her or in any way
degrade her character.
"Where do you live?" asked Deputy
District Attorney Blair.
II live in Cotton" she replied in a
firm voice.
What is your business or occupa-
tion?"
Worked for Her Father
"I worked in my fathers office as
clerk or cashier"
"Have you the papers or documents
mentioned in the subpoena with which
you were served?"
II have not"
She was questioned closely regarding
the documents. She stated she had
them when she returned Wednesday to
her home at Cotton. She said she did
not know where they were, that the
last time she saw them was four or
five days ago when they were in her
pocketbook. She denied having any
knowledge of the nature of the papers
in question and said she had never
looked at them.
When asked if she knew of the tele-
grams sent by Snyder, she said she
saw one, but did not know the nature
of it.
Miss Spring testified she and SNYDER

due to gross ignorance and careless
ness, which possibly might be more
or less true with both seller and buy
err. 1t is not infrequently the case that
eggs for Matching are, when shipped,
in prime condition, but through mis-
treatment and neglect are greatly
damaged, if not ruined, before they
are placed under the hen or in the
machine. There are very many mat
ters to be observed, both on the part
of the seller, as we'll as the purchas-
err in order that hatchable eggs do
not rapidly lose their value for such
purposes. AS a general rule, a SO to
60 per cent. hatch is good and should
be satisfactory, with eggs from the
heavy breeds. With Leghorn eggs,
however, higher percentage can, un-
der favorable conditions, be expected.
From the facts stated, it is impossible
to Judge as to why these eggs failed
to hatch. The hatchability OF eggs is,
without doubt, more or less affected
by shipment, even when very carefully
packed.
There are a few simple rules that
should be observed with eggs intend
ed for Matching, or the germ is liable

to be weakened and possibly killed.
In the writer's opinion, there is much
greater injury done eggs for Matching
after they have reached the hands OF
the purchaser than before, especially
when Matching is done with the in
cubatOr.
But the case in hand is an extreme
one, and bears the earmarks of fraud
on the part of the persons selling the
eggs. Reputable poultrymen desire to
know the results obtained from eggs
sold for Matching, that they may, in
cases of failure, investigate, in order
that in cases of doubt as to the cause,
they may make good and satisfy the
customer There are many reliable
persons from whom eggs for Matching
can be secured, who would not for
anything receive ones money for eggs
known to be worthless. From the
above communication it would also ap-
pear that there are others offering
eggs for Matching who are either dis
honest or are very ignorant concern
ing the business.

He Kept His Job

u AILROADS frequently receive conscience
money. On one of the big roads of the Mid
die West. a conductor who had been in the en-
plovment of the company for years was in the
habit of knocking down fares. The fare
over his route was about three dollars. Money
was generally scarce among the students, and
when they wished to go to the larger city they
were in the habit of taking silver dollar,
placing it under card of any kind, and hand
ing it to the aged conductor when he came to
take up the tickets. He used to slip the dollar
into the palm of his hand, punch the card,
and the students saved two dollars trip
the conductor pocketed the extra dollar
In October, 1904. the officials of the road
were astounded to get, together with his reslg-
nation, full confession of his guilt in the
form of a check for twenty-four thousand
