The witness through whom the d.
closure was made was j. Coleman

was called as witness for the
plaintiff by Col. Amorys lawyers,
Paris S. Russell and Henry NJ.
Earle. He said he went to the Dis
trict Attorney in 1903 and Informed him
of the condition of the Metropolitan.
Mr.. Jerome said he knew the road had
heon wrecked and that he contemplated
bringing criminal proceedings.
Further than that, the witness testi-
fed, Mr. jerome asked him to retain
eminent civil COUNSEL to cooperate in
the way of bringing a civil suit to run
concurrcntly with the criminal prosecu-
ton. Mr.. Drayton said he tried to re-
tain William Hornblower. but Mr.. Horn

testimony was his assertion that, at a
dinner at Sherrys in the fall OF 1902. at
which the Distrlct-Attorney, Col.
Amory and himself were present. Mr..
jerome suggested that he (Drayton) go
TO see James II. Keene and bring about
an examination OF the Metropolitan's
books, Mr. jerome had had an expert
working on the books.
After the Distrct-Attoney had dis
covered, the witness said, that there
had been crimes committed in wrecking
the Metropolitan, lie stated to the wit

DIR. BALDWIN REDEEMED
PUBLIC ANTICIPATIONS

The recital given by DR.. Minor C.
Baldwin Of New York City, the great
concert organist at the First Pres
byterian church Friday night was in
no wise disappointment to the public,
indeed, more than redeemed the high
anticipations which had been created
in the minds of his auditors by the
mastery reputation which had pre-
ceded him
To say that DR.. Baldwin is a great
artist is poor praise, he is more than
that and no adjective can adequately
describe his talent, or, genius, rather.
He possesses a gift that is transcen-
dant In its quality and is manifested
but once in a generation. To have
heard Mr.. Baldwin play on the organ
is an artistic treat, the recollection
of which will long linger as a pleasant
memeory.
While the program last night was,
diversified enough to suit all tastes
and each number won for the per-
former a we'll merited applause.
The rendition OF "The Storm" one
of DR.. Baldwin's own compositions.
was one of the most remarkable selec-
tious ever played upon the pipe or
gan in this city, and demonstrated
his genius as player and as COM
poser. To describe 1t would be as
impossible as 1t would be to portray
a flash OF lightning or the reverbera-
tion of peal of thunder among our
Colorado hills. for II was a tempest OF
nature mirrored in tempest of mu-
sic.
Whether lover Of music or not
none can hear one OF DR.. Baldwin's
superb organ recitals without enjoy
ing 1t and being lifted to higher
moral, intellectual and spiritual plane
thereby.
