African Mines Depend Upon Whims of
 American Women.

London. March 1s.-The dependence of the South African diamond industry on financial conditions In the United States was emph hasized by Sir Michael Hicks Beach. Viscount St. Aldwyn, when he presided this afternoon at the regular meeting of the Bank of Ar rica.
 The present depression, as well known, is due to the cessation of the American demand for diamonds" said the viscount, "but things move very quickly in America and 1t may be only a short time before the financial con ditions in the United States. which evil dently are improving, have so far re- covered that the natural appetite of American women for diamonds again triumphs and the diamond market will be as good as in the past"

This Colonel Quarles denied and declared under oath that the first knowl- edge he had of the case was brought him by the aforesaid witness.
 A number of character witnesses and OIleT minor witnesses were pFeSeAlSu, Dul the case hinged entirely on the testi- mony of J. D. Mosley and the contradic- ton by the defendant himself. backed by certain documentary evidence.
 All of the evidence with the exception of two minor witnesses was concluded yesterday evening before adjournment and this morning shortly after converting the argument was begun. Hon. ". R. Shafer representing the prosecution opened for the state and was followed by Hon. Sydney J. Bowie for the defense. Hon. H. s. D.
