abled by jellyfish, brought to a

fence of the British steamer Indra-

The engineers found the cylinders
packed with a substance resembling
soft soap, but which was the bodies
of thousands of jellyfish.

A WITNESS Tells
OF GETTING FIVE
FROM FORD
JIM HARRINGTON, AN INDIAN,
ON THE STAND TELLS OF
FORD.

Save for the evidence of Jim Far
rington, an Indian, yesterdays ses-
sion of the district court, so far as
it concerned the trial of w. F. Ford
on the charge of embezzlement, was
uninteresting.
Harrington stated that Ford got
the notes supposed to be the prop
erty of Peavine Johnny on state
ment that he (Ford) would have to
use them in the appeal of the case
to the supreme court in which Mr..
Clifford and Johnny were the in
terested parties. The next morning,
said harrington, Ford took the train
out of town. Harrington carried the
attorneys grip to the train and in
addition gave him a present Of an
Indian basket.
What did you get," asked coun-
sci for the state.
81 got So" was the reply.
What did you get that for" in
quired the prosecutor.
ut was money Ford owed me-"
responded the Indian.
That evidence showed that the de-
fendant liquidated at least one hon.
est obligation. 1t also showed that
Harrington was another who got
something out of the tangle. Peavine
Johnny hasn't introduced any evil
dence yet to show that he got any
thing.
Charles Richards was out on the
stand to explain certain documents
which on Saturday he said he
thought he had. Investigation on
his part revealed that the letters
must have been burned mp or mis-
laid He was excused
Edward clifford. Sr.. was another
witness. He told OF giving the de-
fendant the money that was to have
been paid to the Indian.

"Take the case of actors and ac-

Aked's statement belongs to the time

actors as vagabonds
