In making the opening argument I"r
Mrs Bond. Il. J. Giddings accused Sen

was what transpred in Jim" Jacobss
room in the Winston Hotel shortly after
6 o'clock on the night Of March "a, 1873.
The lawyer directed the jury's attention
10 a contradiction I'm Senator Cores tes-
timonv relative TO what occurred between
him and Mrs. Bond in Jim" Jacobs
room.
"And I say Senator Gore is lying"
Giddings shouted. 81 say that he is lying
when he says that Mrs. Bond attempted
to commit an assault upon him. When
ever man says that woman has tired

he be United States Senator or ordinary
person. know, and you know. gentlemen
of the jury. that that man is lying.
What was he doing in the hotel? BY
his own testimony he had thrice refused
Mrs. Bond any encouragement in secur-
ing for her husband the appointment as
internal revenue collector, and, accorf-
ing TO his own statement, after he had
aid her he says that he went to Mrs.
Bonds room for the purpose of talking
over the subject of her husbands APP
pointment
"Fitzpatrick end Robertson testified

this little woman, and they are both
liars, and everybody else is liar. accord
ing 10 Senator Gore and his attorneys,
except their own witnesses, who in most
instances have been elevated TO office by
Senator Gore. either prior or subsequent
to this trouble"
Turning from the jury and pointing
first to Mrs. Gore and then TO Mrs. Bond,
Giddngs exclaimed:
Look at these two women and note
the difference in them. One is CARRIED in
rich garments, the other is a plain won-
an. the daughter of a simple farmer.
There sit her parents-simplc, honest
people from the farm Such people do
not frame up conspiracies."

AngIo-German Antagonism.

Elsewhere in this issue appears an
article reprinted from The Independ-
ent, entitled "Anglo- German Antxg-
onism," which presents things from
the German viewpoint. 1t is the pol
icy of The Herald not to give par
tisan reports, but owing to the lack
of dispatches from Germany all infor-
nation given has had decided anti
German flavor. 1t is our desire to
remain absolutely neutral in reprint
ing articles and to be absolutely fair
to all concerned. The presidents ap-
peal to the American people to studi-
ously refrain from any expression or
act that might reveal in the slightest
degree of partisanship towards the
nations in conflict is a timely one, and
one that all good citizens will heed.
