MAY BE SURPRISE
in CAPITAL CASE

HARRISBURG. Feb. 3.-With the re.
sumption to-day OF the trial Of James M.
Shumaker, John II. Sanderson. William
L. Natthues and William p. Snyder, the
prosecution in the Capitol conspiracy
charges win endeavor to strengthen ths
case It believes has already been made
against the defendants.
An effort is to be made to introduce evil
dence tending to riddle the claim set up
by the defense that the system OF mea-
surement used by Sanderson under his
contract for furnishings was the Sur
face foot" plan To show that sAnderson's
explanation OF the charges made by him
for the "trimmings' in the Capitol is not
reasonable, the prosecution proposes to
offer bills sent by him to the State prior
to the building Of the new Capitol
Sanderson had been a State oontrac-
tor for years before the present Capitol
was ever dreamed of, but until he was
given the contract for "trimmings' for
the present building his bills were al
ways made out, II is said, on the basis
of a linear foot.
Joseph M. Huston. the Capitol archi-
tect, came here last evening with his
counsel. They have their old quarters
at the Hotel Senate. Huston apparent
ly means to keep in as strict seoiusion
as he did during the opening week Of
the trial Of his co-defendants.

THE ROCK OF CASHEL.
Historic Shrine, Which Was the
Scene of an Awful Massacre.

Historic Shrine, Which Was the
Scene of an Awful Massacre.
Few, If any, ecclesiastical ruins in
Ireland are more interesting than those
which crown the far-famed Rock Of
Cashel. The rock itself is one Of the
most conspicuous landmarks in the
south Of Ireland and towers like an
other Gibraltar above the Golden Vale
Of Tipperary. For more than 1000
years Cashel was the seat Of the Kings
Of Munster and in the very days Of st.
Patrick the famous rock served the
purposes of religion In the middle Of
the fifth century a synod was held
there, attended by st. Patrick, ST.
Ailbe and st. Declan, and it was then
that King Aengus, who had been bap-
tized by the great Irish apostle, COM
memorated his conversion from pagan
ism to CathOlicity by erecting a church
upon the rock. Other buildings de-
voted to religious purposes were subse
quently erected, the ruins Of which
still remain. These ruins comprise
Cormac's Chapel, the erection of which
Is attributed to Cormac MacCulinan
King of Munster and Bishop Of Cashel,
who fell in battle in 9O9 cathedral,
built by Donald O'Brien, King Of Linn
erick, in 1169 hall for the Wears Of
the choral, built by Archbishop Ole
dian in 1921; an old episcopal palace,
which was originally strong castle !;
the remains of an abbey, founded by
David MacCarvill in 1860, and mystic
rious round tower, 56 feet in circumfer
ence and 90 feet high. There still eX-
list several portions of the ancient wall
by which the whole was formerly sur
rounded. Architecturally, Cormac's
Chapel is the most graceful of all the
buildings, exhibiting high finish of
workmanship, and is proof of the high
civilization in the arts which Ireland
had reached at that period.
The ruins of the Rock Of Cashel,
like other ecclesiastical relics in Ire
