Nevertheless, he went out to walk to

The report satisfied Edwards as being
correct.
Senator Fitzherbert was evidently
not interested in Cramer's testimony.
because he read a newspaper very care
fully n leaned lack in his chair as he
did so. On cross-examination, Cramer
said he had told John Stanley Quinn. of
the New York Sun, that he had a good
story for him and then told him of the
acetylene bills. The trial was ad-
journed at 1850 o'clock until 2 O'Clock.
This was done at the request of Mr..
Edwards. who had a case in another
part of the State house.
1t is apparent to every one hat Mr.
Edwards. in h 5 cross-,examination,
wishes to give III impression that the

He laid sp IS upon the fact
that Voorhe. &c, both Repub-

view.
Attorney-G General Wilson conducted
the direct examination. Sawyer was
dismissed at short notice, having said
he could not remember one of the
made by Ridner.
Charles A. McCune, another en-
ployee of the Acetylene Company, fol-
lowed Sawyer and ~substantiated the
testimony of the other witnesses.
M. Karl Wishart. the New York
Evening Sun reporter. took the stand
next. Wishart is one of the most i'm
portant witnesses, He testified that
he met Fitzherbert for the first time
at the latter's home in Dover February
IL. To a question put by Mr.. Wilson
as TO how Wishart came to meet Fitz-
herbert, Wishart told the story con-
tanned in his AFFIDAVIT. published in the

much comment on their habits were
made by those who knew them. AL
~haberdasher who supplied the boy5
says he was compelled to lay in al
stock of neckwear that would lool4
well only on a minstrel man playing|

When the boys became proficient i1
dancing and had mastered the turkey
trot' and bunny hug they gave their
attention to the denizens of the hallsl
Each admits that he had a girl, I
who would dance with no other ladl
because he was not dressed we'll
enough. This turned their heads and
the operations at the factory for moro
gold became holder. When a reporter
called in the neighborhood Of the
boys homes children on the streets
asked many questions and said, We'll;
they won't need the neckties now, and.
maybe we can get them"
The boys were first suspected when
another workman missed a tool, which
was found In the possession of one of
the lads. They we're watched, and 1t
was discovered that many unnecessary
trips were made to the vault where the
gold is kept. Yesterday Forgione was
sent out on a fake erran6, and while
he was one his coat was searched. A
roll of gold wire was found and re-
moved.
He went back to his bench and failed
to pay attention to his coat. When he
went to his coat he noticed that it had
been tempered with and he told hisNac-
complete of the fact. They were
noticed in consultation and the police
notified.
Roundsman Harry stillman and
Patrolmen Smith and Douglass went
to the factory and placed the two lads
under arrest. When they arrived at
the First precinct police station the
lads at first denied all knowledge CT
the thefts. Roundsman Stlllman noticed
Jiaeobbi fumbling at his inner pocket.
When Romano was arraigned he ex-
planned to Judge Hahn that he took

would not be lost. He denied that he
knew 1t had been stolen. He was held

stantly the women and children were
hurled into a struggling mass by the
police, The crowd in front of me was
so dense that l could see little. I
called out to the police: BE careful
of the children, you're killing them!'
Later. when I sought to accompany
them to the police station, I was told
thai I'd better stay away or I'd be
cit bbed. too"
Telling of what happened at the
Lawrence depot, Simon Knebei said:
