WASHINGTON, June 16,—In the inquest on the Ford’s theater disaster before Coro- ner Patterson yesterday Colonel Alas. worth sent a long letter in which he re- lated that the hue and cry raised against him in a few newspapers and by some, of the clerks threatened to affect his standing as an army officer, and asking that he be permitted to be represented by counsel and to cross examine witnesses. Heasserted, further, that the original jury was preju~ diced against him, and urged that a new jury be empannelled. The coroner declined to accede to Colonel Ainsworth’s request. James L. Parsons. a cOntractor and builder, was the first witness. He asserted that ‘ the work of excavating could have been done with absolute safety with proper ' precautions. Mr. Edward Clark, the architect of the capital, told of the alterations to the thea- ter building which he made in 1865. The building was then perfectly safe. In 1888 he made an examination of the structure and thought it safe.’ The east wall bulged a little and caused some apprehension among the clerks, but he did not consider that there was danger from this cause. He would not have undertaken to do the work without shoring. At the cation of Juror Hanvev Mr. Clark p ed to inspect the theater building fifore continuing his testimony. Thomas B. Entwistle, inspector of build- ings Of the district, said he was called upon about five years ago to go over to the building and give his opinion as to its safety. At that time it was occupied by the Medical museum. The result of that examination was that he found the floors and walls perfectly safe. Since that time he had made no examination of it. “Would you have undertaken the work without shoring?“ asked the district at- torney. “No sir, and- in my opinion that was the cause of the disaster.” In his opinion as an expert, the witness said the accident was caused by interference with the base of one of the piers without shor- mg. Francis Sasse, the engineer of the old theater building, said he had held that of- fice since March 24, 1889. He made the specification for the electric ‘light plant. He was not an architect, but had gradu- ated from a technical school where archi- tecture was in the course of studies. The theater building was not lighted well, and it was decided by Colonel Ainsworth to put in an electric light plant, so he drew up the plans and specifications last fall and gave them to Colonel Ainsworth. He had drawn them up in order tO save time in explaining the character of the work to,- the contractor who might'bid. Some of tho bids submitted were as low as 8600. but after careful inquiry it was decided that Mr. Dant, who’ was awarded the con- tract, was the lowest responsible bidder. His bid was something more than $900., The witness looked at the excavation every day, but saw no signs of shoring. Witness said he told a clerk after the ac- cident that if the work had progressed an. . other hour the danger would have passed. ' .This did ‘ not mean, however, that he fore- saw any danger; he merely believed that. the work would be completedin that time. James H. Dony, the compositor who set up the original text of the specifications for the electric lighting plant, was called to identify the handwriting in which the specifications were written. He said he thought half of them were type written and the rest in Colonel Ainsworth’s hand- writing. He could not find the original copy. It had probably been thrown into the waste basket. It was not customary, he said, to destroy copy in the war depart- ment printing office. C. W. Perkins, a builder, said he had been in the theater building several times since the accident, and it was his opinion that the brick work, so nearly as he could judge, was good, but he would have shored the piers. He was unable to explain how ny of the piers were undermined without icing shored. A bricklayer of forty years experience, It avid P. Cissel, who has erec;cd many arge buildings in Washington, testified hat he had gone into the old theatre build- ng two days previous to the‘ accident with : view to make an estimate on doing the . ick work. The excavation was going on 1.. no one time. he noticed a' man underpin- ning a wall, but saw 'no, evidence. of shor- ing, although he did not [look torts, Since. . the feellapse 'he’ma‘de an- exaun’n'ation’ef the'building and concluded that the un- skilful manner in which the _work was said, was :‘abOut the worst he ever saw.” Mr. Cissel considered that there would have been no danger to the clerks if the work had been done properly. . Another builder who testified was Co- lumbus Thomas, with thirty years expe- of putting in the electric light plant, his bid being about $1,500, of which 6600 was for shoring. The work he thought 'could not have been safely done without shoring. Captain Martin R. Thorpe, chief of the supply division, was called next. -‘ He brought with‘him official papers relating to the work in the old theater building. He had nothing to do with the'prepar'ation of the specifications, which he understbOd were supervised by Colonel Ainsworth alone. The list of bids read by Captain Thorpe showed that the low'est bidder was George W. Dent, who was awarded the contract at $950. The highest bid was 82,200. Four of the bids, including Mr. Dent’s, were between $950 and $1,000. International Typographical Union. CHICAGO, June 16.——The convention of lowing Officers: President, W. B.

PARIS, June 16. —Consid§‘i-‘able ' excite- ; t has been caused by the decision of ' ‘ court of cassation on; the appeal of lee do Lesseps and theirother defend— an , convicted of fraud in connection with the Panama Canal company. The court handed down its decision yesterday, setting aside the sentences on the grpund that the statute of limitations covered the offenses charged, and that the indictments on which the prisoners were tried were irreg— ular. In consequence of this decision M. Eiffel and M. Fontane were at once liber- ated from prison. ' ' In addition to the sentence of five years’ imprisonment imposed upon M. Charles de Lesseps, he was sentenced at . a later trial to serve a year for bribing Certain mem- bers ‘of the chambers to vote for the Panama lottery bond bill. The sentence of; one» year’s imprisonment ran concur-~ rently with the heavier sentence. M. De Lesseps chose to serve the one'year’s sen- tence in a. cell, and by this means, accord- ing to the prison regulations, the time was reduced one-half. It is probable that the unserved portion of this sentence will be immediately remitted and thatij. De Les- seps will be free to leave the hospital as ’ soon as he is able to leave. He is now suf- fering with acute dyspepsia. KILLED'ON HIS SCHOONER. The Body of Captain Cooper Found Floating in the Water. BALTIMORE, June 16.—News‘ has reached here of a murder committed; . at Deals Island on Sunday night. Captain Frank Cooper, of Carter’s creek, Lancaster county, Va., came to Deals Island on Sat- urday with a load of grain. The schooner was leaking and he had come to try and charter another vessel,,i so the grain would not be damaged, but this he failed to do. He was at church on Sunday night, and this was the last time he was seen alive. On Wednesday Jacob P. Webster found his body in the water a half a mile from shore. He had probably been murdered in the cabin of the Daigher on Sunday night, and his body thrown overboard. The top of Captain Cooper’s head was split open and there were a half dozen other wounds upon the head, any one of which would have been fatal. The Daigher was boarded and blood was found in the cabin and on the deck. A mattrass had been thrown overboard, and was found a sh0rt distance away with blood. stains on it. Captain Cooper’s crew were two 001- ored men from Carter’s creek. Va. These men, whose names could not- be ascer- tained, walked to St. Peter’s, 'w-here lay anchored the Annie R. Todd, commanded by John Gannon, from Virginia; on which they took passage. The Virginia authori- ties have been telegraphed to arrest the two men. - * A Young Priest Drowned; _ NEW YORK, June 16.—Rev. - Father Charles B.

New BEDFORD, Mass, June 16.-—Miss Borden was overwhelmed with floral of- ferings ‘on the tenth day of her trial for murder, and appeared inexcellent, spirits, despite the seeming disheartening signifi~ cance of Wednesday’s proceedings. The government introduced experts to testify as to the use of prussic acid to cleanse sealskin, but before they had an opportunity to fasten the alleged .at- tempted purchase of the poison on Miss Borden the court decided that the evi- dence was incompetent. This ends the prussic acid incident. Then the defense began its case, with Mr. Jennings as spokesman. He said in part: “We shall show. you that this young W07 man had led a spotless life; interested in religious and charitable work, and yet for some reason the government seemed to have fastened the crime upon her. There is always an outcry for somebody to be punished for. such a crime, but we want the guilty punished, not the innocent. Our law, and it is the one which you have sworn to apply in this case, presumes every man to be innocent until he is proved guilty. The law is for the protection of the living. The law of Massachusetts to- day draws about the person of everybody the circle of innocence until the contrary is proven. “I Say this is a mysterious case, and ‘every thinking man must say the same, but you are not here to say how it was committed. You are simply to answer as to this defendant, to say you are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that she is guilty or innocent, and a reasonable doubt is a doubt for which you can furnish a good reason. “There are two kinds of evidence, direct and circumstantial; the first is the testi- mony of persons who have seen and heard and felt; circumstantial evidence is en- tirely different. I want to say that there is not one particle of direct evidence against Lizzie Borden to connect her with this crime; it is wholly and absolutely circum‘ stantial, and there is no class of evidence known that, under certain circumstances, is as dangerous as evidence of this nature. “You will find that a mOtive as one of the links in the chain of circumstantial evidence becgmes of tremendous impor- tance. The government’s chain is that whoever killed one killed the other, and where they have assumed to show a mo- tive for the killing of her stepmother, there is none for the killing of her own father. In measuring the motive you have got to apply it in this case as between this girl and her own father. “There has not been a living soul in all these witnesses to testify that he saw An- drew J. Borden go down to the bank from ._,this house; he was actually invisible. We shall show you there were others about that house. We shall show you that Liz- zie was inthe barn, just as she said she was. We shall show you that this dress was soiled with paint, gotten on early in gay; that it was burned there in broad aylight withlwindows and doors open,of- ficers and other witnesses about. We shall show you that she had on" the very dress she says she had on, the one I gave to the of« ficer myself. We shall ask you to see in view of the presumption of innocence which the law says you shall consider, that no blood was found upon her, and to consider the relations between father and daughter.” . Then the taking of testimony for the de- fense began, the first witness being Dr. Benjamin H. Hardy, of Fall River. Dr. Hardy testified: “I know where the Borden house is. I went there on the morning of the, murder between 10 and 10:30. I saw a "medium sized young man, very pale in complexion, with his eyes fixed on the sidewalk, ass- ing slowly toward the south. He was act- ing strangely, and in consequence of his appearance I turned in my carriage to watch him as he went by. I have a faint idea that I had seen him before. This man was well dressed in a light suit of clothes. I have tried to find him since, but have been unablp to do sq. The man was act- ing difierent from any person I ever saw on the street in my life. He was agitated and seemed to be weak. Mrs. Delia S. Manley, who lives on Sec- ond street, in Fall River, said she was passing the Borden house with Mrs. Hart, when she saw a young man attired in a suit of white standing by the Borden gate. That was about 9.45. She had not noticed the young man when she first came along. , Walter P. Stevens, ‘whoat the time of' the tragedy was a repbrter‘for one Of the Fall River dailies, was called to the stand. . His testimony was the most important for the defense that had come up to this time. - He went to the Borden house on the morn- ing of the tragedy. in the regular course of business. He went through the house and out to the barn. “While I was there,” he said, “I heard three persons walking about in the upper, part of the barn.” Policeman Medley, it will be remem- bered, had sworn that there were no traces of footsteps in the dust on the floor of the barn loft. — The witness said that he did not see Medley about, and remained in the barn only a momentor so. ‘ ' _ Hyman Robinski, an ice cream peddler, testified that shortly after 11 o’clock on the day of the tragedy he passed the Bor- den house, and saw a lady go from the barn to the house. It was not a servant. He knew Bridget Sullivan. Everett Brown and Thomas C. Barlow testified that they visited the Borden prem- not allowed in the house. Though they spent all the afternoon about there, they saw nothing of Ofiicer Medley. Joseph LeMay was then put on the ttand, and the court dismissed the jury while counsel wrangled. District Attorney Kuowlton said that the matter upon which his evidence would touch had no relation to the case and lied nothing to do with it, so far as the time was concerned. The tes- timony sought to be introduced was that witness had'seen a man passing along the ’1' .fll'ondmlnear his farm, his clothes covered , . j-‘with blood and presenting a decidedly re- ' 'pulsive‘appearance. Mr. J ennings said this was not a case of conversation, and that neither was aware of the presence of the other; the man seen by witness had a hatchet” in his hand which might have been the one used in doing the murders.

CHICAGO, June 16.-—-‘ ‘German Day” at the exposition needed but the august pres« ence of his majesty, Emperor William, to make the success of the Teutonic season of festivity complete in every detail. The weather was glorious, the crowds immense and the enthusiasm most marked. From noon until late into the evening the Goth man bands and drum corps at'the head of bands of shouting Teutons ' marched through all parts of the park, and the colors of the United Statse, intermingled with the tricolor and eagle of Germany, floated from every building. The masses were everywhere, all the buildings were crowded, the diflerent streets about the grounds were thronged all day, and electric launches and gpndolss did a thriving business. All the balconies and promenades on the tops of buildings held crowds constantly during the day and evening, and when the crowds went home DRUMMER IN CAIRO STREETS. last night after Witnessing the fireworks the gates closed on the largest crowd that has as yet visited the fair in One day.

Princess Eulalia’s day must now take sec~ ‘ ond place. ‘ At 10 o’clock the societies and bands of music which participated in the city par? ado began to rendezvous in sections in front of the building erected by the Ger- man empire, which stands between Spain and Ceylon. At one time there were prob- ably 50,000 men, women and children, with their faces toward the imperial building of Germany. . 0n the top tier of the singers’ stand glistened the eagle capped banners, and flags of the societies who marched in the parade.
