SALEM, Mass, Oct. 24.—In the Searles ' will case Mr. Lincoln recalled Mr. Searles. Witness testified that at Mrs. Hopkins’ re- quest he first called in Mr. Stillman to look up the Field securities in October, 1887. Witness testified to the visit of Mr. Stillman to Mcthuen before the last will was made. Mrs. Searles stated that she wished to leave all her property to witness, and would provide for Timothy in her life- time. In case anything happened to her she was willing to leave matters in wit- ness’ hands; she knew that witness would be more generous to Timothy than she would. Witness testified that during Mrs. Searles’ last sickness he visited New York, and, while in conversation with Mr. Still- man, referred to her condition and said that if her condition was critical it would be well to transfer the Southern Pacific and improvement bonds and stocks to the co-partnership, so that in case of Mrs. Searles’ death it should not lose its voting power. Mr. Stillman said he would at- tend to it. .~ W'itness denied that he ever at any time attempted, by himself or through others, to in any way influence his wife in the dis- posal of her property. He had never no- ’ ticed anything to show that she was in any other than strong mental condition. Mr. Burley asked witness if he intended to say that he never had private conversa- tions in regard to the disposal of her prop- erty. Witness replied, “None.” Mr. Searles stated that in June, 1887, he had property of his own amounting to $200,000. Druggist Bolton’s Dilemma. BROOKLYN, Oct. 24.—The quarrel be- tween IVilliam C.

If the action for abandonment falls through, Mr. Bolton will be arrested for bigamy. A. Life Prisoner Dies in Jail. COLUMBUS, 0., Oct. 24.—Philip Stein- metz, a life prisoner at the penitentiary, died of heart failure.

He put on his clothes and said he was ready. The priest entered the corridor and talked with him a few moments, but the sigh he heaved as he came away told the story of Goheen’s unrepentant heart. The watch- man asked the prisoner if he cared for anything to eat, but he declined. It was scarcely five minutes after 12 o’clock when Sherifl Billings entered the corridor to read the warrant. This ceremony over, Goheen was offered and drank some stim- ulant. Firm to the Last. “N ow, Bert,” said the sheriff, “the time has come; you must show yourself to be a brave man.” Goheen said nothing, but shut his lips tightly, and when Watchman Holmes stepped forward to manacle him he put his hands behind him promptly. The march to the trap in the upper corri- dor began, Sheriff Billings leading the way. The prisoner walked with a quick, firm step, and held his head up as defiant- ly as if he were, indeed, innocent. He walked directly to the trap and took his position without any assistance. Mr. Holmes fastened the manacles around Goheen’s ankles and straps at his knees and around his body, pinioning his arms to his sides. The sheriff then ad- justed the noose about his neck. He stood firmly and squarely on his feet. Then Holmes stepped ofi the platform, and in- stantly Sheriff Billings kicked away the wedge and pulled back the lever. Strangled to Death. The trap swung at 12:15. The rope slipped to the back of the neck, and the man was slowly strangled to death. He was pronounced dead in twenty minutes. Goheen asserted his innocence, claiming his brother committed the murder. The Slierifl‘ Won’t Bang Him.
