Mr.. KINNEY was recalled and testi-

the morning of the fire. that he saw a
traction engine working on the road,
and he knew that Mr.. Mundy was the
contractor in charge of this work.
Henry r. Kelly testified that he was

pay him.
Richard r. Greenfield swore that he
stood near Klair's barn at noon on the
day of the fire and then walked over to
another barn about two fields away.

barn was on fire and he looked around

Denial that they are here on any
political mission Is made by the four
men arriving last night, but their in

expected TO look after the interests Of
Diaz. With General Del Dio in Tor

who know him declare that il would
