If the bed is largely clay to

sandy soil or clean sand on top. A

AFTERNOON SESSION.

When the court re-cOnvened at
o'clock T. A Jennings, president of
the bank, took the witness chair, and
identified a note for S1.006, with the
name of w. z. Mathis signed, and
which the prosecution alleged was a
forgery. Mr. Jennings had not pro-
ceeded far with his testimony before
there were numerous objections Of
fered by the defense, principal of
which was that the witness could not
state of certain transactions of his
own knowledge, and could not explain
certain transactions between Mathis
and the bank of recent date without
relating a conversation with Mathis.
He desired to do this, and had rec
ords and papers with him, but his
testimony was not allowed.
w. E. Mathis Not Here.
1t developed during the trial that
w E. Mathis, brother-in-law of the
defendant, and one of the principal
witnesses for the state, is absent from
the city. Counsel for the defense
stated that Mr.. Mathis is in Illinois,
obtaining some evidence in the case.
and they said his presence could be
obtained within a week. Judge Blount
stated that the witness should never
have left the Jurisdiction of the court,
as the case had been postponed only
for a short time. and that. technically,
he was in contempt.
There was consultation among the
attorneys, with the result that the por
ton of the case relating to the Mathis
note was continued until Thursday,
Feb. IS.
Exchange for $500.
The prosecution then placed Teller
Jackson on the stand, and introduced
as evidence a New York exchange for
the sum of $500. drawn upon the
Title Guarantee and Trust company,
of New York. in favor of the Central
National Bank of st. Louis.
The witness. who has charge of all
exchange and keeps the exchange rec
ord book of the bank, identified the
handwriting and signature as that or
G. C. eScHdamore. He had no recollec-
ton. however, of ever having seen
such an, exchange pass through the
bank. The exchange was numbered
2T6. and. was drawn on June IL. BY
reference to the record book the wit
ness stated that on that date eX-
change No. 2F6 had been issued, and
was the only exchange issued on that
date. 1t was no. for $500, however,
he said but for $500. This exchange.
he said had been issued by Scuba
more and. he had accounted for same
on, his records bv receiving the per
sonal check of Scudamore for this
amount.
On cross-examination by defense the
witness explained the procedure in Is
suing exchange. and stated that winnie
officers of the bank frequently signed
the exchange that some accounting
was always made to him, so that
record could be kept of the transac-
ton.

that the day following a visit of NJ.
B: Charles, of Brookhaven, Miss, that
the word spoiled" was ordered placed
on record by Mr. Scudamore, to which
the witness replied that he could not
state positively that such was the case.
He knew that Mr.. Charles had visited
Pensacola, and Was in consultation
with Scudamore at the bank one Sun
day morning, but he could not state
positively that it was the day before
the transaction. He knew, however,
that it was before, but how many
days he was not sure.
General Bookkeeper.
C. F. Hall, general bookkeeper of
the bank up to Nov. Is, was then
placed on the witness stand and asked
regarding the exchange for 1880, and
the one for $4,000, of which the teller
had testified. He identified both as
the handwriting and signature Of
Scudamore, but stated that no record
appeared upon the general ledger of
any such exchange having been is
sued.
He explained that at the close Of
each days business the exchange rec
ord was transferred to the general
ledger, but that no such exchange had
been contained in the exchange rec
ord given to him. He referred to the
ledger, however, and there found that
On June IS an exchange had been is
sued for $500, and that it was drawn
and accounted for by check from G.
c. ScudamOre His books showed
nothing whatever of the issuance of
the exchange for $4,000 to NJ. B.

Geo. p. Wentworth.
Geo. P Wentworth, one of the d.
rectors of the bank, was the last wit
ness to be examined before adjourn
ment. His testimony was in relation
to certain confessions which he stated
had been made TO him by Scudamore
on the date that Scudamore was re-
moved from the bank blythe president.
These were in regard to certain eX-
changes, stocks, etc, which had been
issued by the cashier.
When Mr. Wentworth concluded his
testimony court adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning.
Leaps for Books.
Immediately after. court had adjourn
ed J. B. Perkins, Of the bank, was
gathering up the books and records,
which had been used during the day,
when G. c. ScudamOre, who had been
seated, approached, and with look
of rage upon his face. attempted to
wrestle the books and records from
Mr.. Perkins. Immediately he was
grasped by deputy sheriffs, his broth
er and attorneys, and after wrestling
with him for moment he was forced
back into his seat This was really the
sensation of the day in the case.

RECON- NJ ENDED

Old FOLKS
Tells How Kidneys Weaken
With Age and Gives
Prescription.

This is simple home recipe now
being made known in all the larger
cities through the newspapers. 1t is
intended to check the many cases OF
rheumatism, kidney and bladder trou-
BILE which have made so many cripples
and invalids and weaklings OF some OF
our brightest and strongest people
The druggists here have been mott
fed to supply themselves with the in
gradients, and the sufferer will have
no trouble to obtain them. The pre-
scription is as follows: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce, and Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix
by shaking well in bottle The dose
is one teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
Recent experiments, even in severe
hospital cases, prove this simple mix
ture the remedy for Rheumatism, be-
cause of its positive action upon the
eliminative tissues of the kidneys. 1t
compels these most vital organs to
filter from the blood and system the
waste impurities and uric acid which
are the cause of rheumatism. 1t
cleanses the kidneys, strengthens
them and removes quickly such symp-
toms as backache, blood disorders,
bladder weakness, frequent urination,
painful, scalding and discolored urine.
1t acts as a powerful stimulant to the
entire kidney and bladder structure,
puts new life into them and invigo-
rates the entire tract.
All the ingredients, states a we'll
known local druggist, are of vegetable
extraction. making it a safe and harm
less prescription at any time.
Those who suffer and are accus-
toned to purchase a bottle of patent
medicine should not let a little incon-
venience interfere with making this
up. **+

never seen the exchange before, but
identified the writing and signature Of
Scudamore. This was in November,
but there was no record on the books
of the bank to show that it had been
issued.
He said, however, that in closing his
business on the date in question he
found that an exchange had been Is
sued, also one the day previous, for
which there was no accounting He
had gone over his days business
again, thinking perhaps he had made
an error, but finding none, had in
quired Of other employees if any of
them had issued an exchange, but
none had done so.
Marked Spoiled"
Witness said he then went to Scud-
amore and asked him regarding the
issuance of any exchange, and that
Scudamore had told him to enter a
exchange had been spoiled" which
he had done. The record books show
ing the notation and the word
spoiled" were exhibited as evidence.
On cross-eXaminatiop the witness
stated that there were several nOta-
tons of this character on the book,
but that it had been done when the
machine at the bank had spoiled the
exchange. The instance noted was the
only time where he had been directed
to mark spoiled" on the book by
Scudamore.
In reply to a question by the de-
tense that if the bank had been sent
papers for collections by another bank
with instructions to remit by eX-
change, would it not be possible for
such exchange to be issued without
his knowledge, the witness replied
that such could not be done, as he
must make a showing on the record
as to what had been received for
such exchange.

sci or the witnesses. He stared va
cantly about the courtroom, up at the
ceiling and frequently peered under
meath the tables and into the corners
of the courtroom. All this time he
was nervously engaged in counting up
on his fingers, and each time the tele-
phone would ring, he would attempt
to rise and go to it, insisting that 1t
was for him, but restraining hand
and a word from his brother would
quiet him, and he would resume his
former acts.
Only once, and then for only mo-

at a moment when the courtroom was
ringing with laughter caused by the
actions of a colored couple who had

He stated positively that the note in
evidence was written by the defend
ant and said he knew the signature
OF w Z. Mathis was not in the hand

last two letters in the name.
Anderson explained the routine of
the bank in handling negotiable paper,
and stated that the package contain
ing such papers was kept in his desk,
but that other officers had access to
the package. Anderson stated that
he went to work at the bank on Sep
TENDER II and that it required about
two weeks for him to become famil-
lar enough with the signatures Of
Scudamore and Mathis to identify the
note. He entered the note on his
ledger on Oct. 16 Mr.. Reeves asked

bank received satisfaction for the
note. He said this satisfaction was
evidenced by a stock certificate cover
ing the amount. He would not state
