GRILLING EXAMINATION.

Mr.. McWhirter was put under a
griiling cross-eSamination on his tes-
timony regarding the visit in the
chiefs office. When asked If he
didn't say, in the Donaldson case, that
he put pistol in his pocket before
he went up in the Antler rooming
house because he knew he was going
into a bunko game. the witness
asked:
Are you making a statement or
question:"

under cross- examination Immediately
upon court being raped to order this
morning. Attorney Wedgwood opened
the questioning.
Mr. McWhirter, dressed in neat
black suit Sat at ease In the big wit
ness chair with hands folded. When
turning over q question In his mind
the witness would roll is thumbs.
The Scotchman has English ut ex-
cellent command. but now an
some quaint expression escapes him.
Wh@p Attorney Wedgwood would ex-
plain some question, Mr.. McWhirter
would answer Quite so; quite so"
In demonstrating some point Mr.. Nc
Whittier would say, 1T happened like
30" The witness is regarded as one of
the most able and bright men ever
heard in this city When rather puz-
zling query was shot at him he re-
fused to be pinned down to 81 mo"
or Yes" The court admonished him
TO answer as desired but he still more
than held his own with the lawyer II
one answer wouldn't convey his mean
ing Mr.. McWhirter managed to get
In satisfactory one later. He was con-
testing wits with three able men;
Judge Thurman. Soren Y. Christensen
and Attorney Wedgwood coached by
the defendant at occasional junctures.
When he scored some point smile of
admiration would pass around the
room.
CAN'T SAY YES OR NO.
"r can't say yes or no" he
would say.
''gut you must" persisted the law
yer.
"T repeat I can't" and In a ma
jority of instances he didn't.
Some time was spent in having the
witness tell of the events after the
fake policeman (Bel) started to
take the crowd over to the police sta
ton. This was when Bell and Par
rent led him around town to various
places. including the Sanltarium,
postoffice, into drug store, on a car
and off, and on a bewildering march
generally, This ended finally with
the visit in the chiefs office
BY the time this juncture had been
reached in the cross-examination, the
court room was filed with auditors,
evidently anxious to miss no word.
They enjoyed the frequent tilts be-
tween lawyer and witness immensely,
a poorly, suppressed laugh going the
rounds now and then.

KING AT THE TRACK
August Belmont's Norman III. Wins at Newmarket While
 Croker Cheered.
VICTORY WON IN SILENCE
Given Prominent Position in
 Derby Betting.

London, May s.-The 2.00o guinea stakes for entire colts and Allies, foal- cd in 1905, was run at Newmarket to- day and won by August Belmont's Norman III, by OctaGon out of Nlnc- veh
 Passctt's Sir Archibald was sec ond, and W Hall Walkers White Eagle was third Seventeen horses ran
 The Guineas" is ono of the classics of the English turf. and it was won hy Norman III, against very strong field. which included King Edwards Perrier, the favorite for the Derby. King Edward and the Prince of Wales were present on tho grand stand and in spite of the rain a great crowd of spectators turned out for tho meeting in the expectation that his malostys horse would win.
 The betting on Norman III was 25 10 1 against The betting on Sir Arch ihald was to 1 against; on White Eagle, 100 10 against and on Per Tier 10 1 against
 Norman H. who was considered q rank outsider, proved a very easy winner. When nearing the straight MT. Belmonts horse took the lead from Mercutio and, rapidly drawing away, came in three lengths ahead of Sir Archibald, who was three quarters of a length in front of White tat. |. orito at to against only got hfth place
 There was a long delay at the start for which Dibs and Dalgoty was chiefly responsible The tapes were twice broken by the easer starters but the barrier finally ascended on a good geaway. Mercutio, ridden by Lucien Lyme led the field. Perrier was In the center and close up and Norman III. and White Eagle held prominent positions. Perrer was beaten when the horses reached the bushes At the finish Norman ILL with splendid rush, passed Mercu- tio and came in q winner in canter, the time being 1 minute 14 3-5 sec onds
 The win by Norman III reverses the result of the race for the Dew. hurst plate of last year, when Per rer beat him running second to Rich ard Croker's Rhodora To-day's race was the centenary of the stakes. On twenty occasions the winner of this race subsequently has won the Derby for which Norman IT. is entered.
 Although Mir Belmont's colors are popular in this country the victory of his horse to-day was received in gloomy silence as the betting public to a man had backed Perrer It was difficult to find bookmaker who had laid a cent against Norman H. The victory of the Belmont entry Is bound to give him prominent position in the Derby betting and many experts after the race to-day, did not hesitate to express the opinion that the run ming for 'The Guneas" would be con- hrmed at Epson.
 Richard Croker also was among those who witnessed the race His Rhodora Is a prominent candidate for the one thousand guincas stakes to be run May S.

uNcLn ALEX. NOT LEFT.
(IIartford Courant.l

lIidItLoTu lOuTdnI.)
 When Uncle Alex. Troup gets left hs can be seen pacing the platform ana does not go and hide in the waiting room. But he wasn't left on Saturday when the Democratic delegates met In this city. The esteemed Hartford Times had figured the state delegation after its election as F for Johnson and 3 for Bryan. When they met Saturday Mr. Troup asked that the members be poll- ed as to their presidential preferences, and they stood 6 for Bryan. for John- son and 6 unwilling to commit them- selves. This does not seem to satisfy Mir. Bryan's best friend in Connecticut, for he refers to those not committed as dodgers but he comes out of the affair with his forces multiplied by three. while Johnson has only one-sixth of what had been allotted to him.

FAIR HAVEN NEWS
Politics Boiling Over in This Borough-People off to
 May Festival.

IL ls doubtful if there ls territory of similar extent and with the same pop- ulation as the borough of Fair Haven East, in the United States where there is SO much politics It doesn't require but small excuse to preclpitate not only political discussions but to get tho political pot a-boIling In great shape, While the borough management Is re- ga ded as non-political, as 1t is usual that a citizens ticket Is in the field, vet the caucus Is always interesting and some times there s more excite ment than at any ward caucus in the city. The annual caucus is tonight Time, o'clock; place, engine house, East Grand avenue Call to order by Warden George K Clark, secretary John Parker borough clerk, Last evening the caucus was being discuss cd, as it has been for several days, but for warden and burgesees, they seemed to be all at sea. as the saying is, Some time ago. MT. Clark announced that he did not care to run again for warden but as candidates are so few, it was thought by some that he might be in- duced to go on tho ticket again. And concerning hurgesSes, some favored nominating the old ticket and others favored renonlnating q part of tho ticket. Seldom has the situation over warden and hurgesses been so uncer- tain, and so i'll defined on the night before the caucus For tax collector 1t was the general opinion that l.. A. T. Blake, who has been in office a dog en years would be renominated. al- though it has been reported for some time that there would be two other candidates in tho field Orton A. Rose has been borough treasurer for many years, and he Is not likely to have any opposition. John Parker will doubt less be renominated for borough clerk and Patrolman Charles x. Mack will be renomlnated, bdiliff. It ls not just known whether the board of assessors care to go back or not. IL Is usual for the floor to vote that tho moderator nominate a committee of three to bring in a ticket. Sometimes there Is opposl- tion to this on the part of those who wish nominations made from the floor, The borough caucus tonight ought to be well attended and inter- esting.

Another attempt was made to get loaded barge up to the coal dock above Grand avenue drawbridge at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, but 1t failed again. The same barge with some 400 tons of coal started up the river with two tugs, Monday after noon and grounded in the draw and was pulled down stream again Yes terday two tugs hltched on to the barge-a boat of the Pennant line and managed to get through the draw this time and to point about 500 feet above the bridge and then grounded. The tugs did their best, but could not budge the craft and the boat re. maned in the mud last night The tugs took the boat along at high water but there wasn't water enough under the craft to float 1t to the dock. Probably the barge will have to be frightened of some of the coal before il reaches its destination. And yet the river and harbor committee of congress says it is not the duty of con gress to make an appropriation to dig out this channel.
