Finley, Barrel & Co.. Unless cash

recession doubtless will be seen.
Would not hesitate to make purchases
of corn on any fair decline from pres
ent levels. AS Canada is now offering
oats to New England points at or be-
low Chicago prices, present values
naturally appear sufficiently high
Lamson Bros. e. Co.: The wheat
market is technically in a position to
recover sharply from any further
material break. We look for some in
crease in corn receipts, bu tdo not ex-
pect them to be especially burden
some. Cash corn may widen some

the details leajing up to the final dis
covery of the crime. In speaking of
the efforts to find the body last July.
Burke said:
fAfter the butcherboy tipped into the
upper Office that the people living at
the Eureka street house thought a
body might be buried there. we went
out to investigate. While waiting for
the report from the city chemist, we
dug up the yard in a good many places.
Everywhere we dug the ground seemed
firm and undisturbed. We thought we
were on a good lead when we found
the hair clinging to the spade. and
what we thought was blood in the
trunk, but when we received the re-
port that the stains were not blood
and could find no traces of a grave,
we gave up the search"
Burke than detailed the digging up
of the body from the cement covered
grave in the basement of the cottage.
He displayed to the jury the places in
the trunk from which the pieces of lin
ing had been clipped for the examina-
tion by the chemist. and also the two
spades and the short handled shovel
with which the grave was dug. He
also showed the jury the hatbox found
in Doctor Grants Office and the suit
case showing the-traces Of cement still
on the case. Later the suitcase, trunk
and hatbox were Identified by Miss Mes
serschmidt as the property of Doctor
Grant.
LANDLADY CALLED
Following Burke Mrs. Carrie A.
Ware, who conducts the lodging house
at 2o40 Scott street. at which Miss
Swan lived up to the time of her dis
lived since last November, was called.
Miss Swan first came to my house
on the Sunday previous to the first
of February. If Miss Swan was sent
by any one to me to get room know
nothing of IT.. 1 never thought Paul
Parker sent her, as she met Parker
on her way out of the house after she
engaged the room. and they both
seemed surprised to meet each other
there"
Mrs. Ware then stated that she had
Identified the body at the morgue as

Although it had not reached the
noon hour the crowded condition of
the room and the lack of proper ven
tilation caused Coroner Walsh to order
a recess following Doctor Bothe's tes-
timony. The little assembly room was
packed so that the witnesses could
hardly get in to testify. An adjourn
ment was taken until 1880 in the after
noon, when the inquest was continued

WITNESSES POSITIVELY
IDENTIFY GIRLS BODY
AND DIR. THOMPSON

Detective Ed Wren was the first wit
ness called when the inquest was
started in the assembly room at the
coroner's office at 1920 o'clock yes
terday morning. He made straight
away statement of his connection with
the case from the start
Il first became identified with this
case last July" said Wren. 'At that
time 1 was detailed with Detectives
Tobin and Burke to go to 327 Eureka
street Previous to that time the de-
partment had received word that there
was something wrong at the Eureka
street address. AS 1 remember a
butcher boy had notified one of the de-
tectives that the Caughmans, who then
lived at the place. had found a trunk
in which some human blood, stains were
found and also some shovels and a
lantern. We went to the house and 1
took samples of the lining of the trunk
and of part of one of the straps. AL
though the trunk had been washed
with a hose by Mrs. Caughman in an
endeavor to clean it, the edor of some
thing dead was still strong. Detective
Burke, who is here, will testify as to
the digging up of the premises in
search Of any evidence of a body being
buried there. / took the samples of
the lining of the trunk and. the piece

later and asked him for report on

ton, but would do so in day or SO.
met him a week later and he said he
had made some tests, which failed to
show the spots to be human blood, but
would make additional tests. / saw
him several days later and he told me
his other tests had failed to show that
the stains were blood. The yard having
been dug up and the fact that the
chemist said the spots were not human
blood led US to drop the investigation,
The case was reopened early last
week, when Gordon made his statement
to the police. We arrested DR..
Thompson. alias Grant, and Miss Mes
serschmidt. Sunday night We took Paul
Parker into custody and placed him in
detinue. Pike, who joined with Cor
don in getting money from the doctor,
has been arrested at Weed and will be
returned here in day or so.'
Wren then detailed his conversations
with the various persons under arrest.

he had failed to get Parker to admit
that he was responsible for Miss
Swans condition.

Beverly, Mass, July 7.-Evidence
that President Taft is going to have
real sure enough vacation this sum-

ment that the executive and his
whole family are TO take a ten days
cruise along the New England coast.
The departure will be made from Bev-
erly about July lS aboard the May
flower. Bar Harbor and other shore
resorts will be visited, 1t Is possible
the Sylph will also be taken on the
cruise.
President Taft did not get away
early TO the Myopia golf links today
but probably will motor across later
with Captain Butt and play with John
Hays Hammond, or Henry Clay Frick.
Reports have been current here
that President Taft is considering the
calling of special session of the
senate to confirm the nomination of
a new chief justice of the United
States supreme court in order that the
big trust case now pending may be
passed upon as soon as possible. AS
this special session would cost $780, 900
and would probably not be called In
any event until tho expiration of the
enabling act passed to allow Justice
Moody to retire, should he desire to
