l nesday, private cables regarding
the statistical position in Europe
caused an active speculation for the
rise. But on -Wednesday the failure
of Liverpool to make an adequate
response to our movement caused
dulness, which in the business for the
next crop - became . a decline nnder

crease in the acreage. - Dull accounts
from Manchester and the low ! prices

at. auction. were also unf avorable cir

improvement on stronger "Liverpool
accounts and better reports from the
auction sale of cotton goods. To-day
there was some depression: under un-

" vv nat do you think ot i the new

cian. '
The best of the lot," he replied;
'he's just what be seems and nothing
else. He believes ' in rewarding bis
friends and punishing bis enemies,
and has tbe courage to act upon his
convictions. He treats you with con
sideration ; does not send you out

merited praise from soft flattery with
out using a fine seiye to find it. It
was a cold wintry day that I made
my first call, after having paid my
respects to the -other ladies of the
new Cabinet, and it was a pleasant
experience to enter a home that, bad
no suggestions or. a moaern city resi

of my childhood, and the homes I
have entered in the far West. The
relation between the mother and son
is a tender, beantiful, old-fashioned
one, where affection and; considera
tion control each. Mrs. Garland or
rather Hubbard she has been twice
married seems fond of society, and
you feel ; that; her invitation to call
again is sincerely given. .Mr. Gar

officer, and he has complied with the
requirements to the extent of getting
a "swaiiow taiiea ; coat, ana miguiv

indifference to society makes him all
the more at ease. People who are
fond of society, and desire to please
are always over anxious and thereby

Trial.
Eichmond. .May 18. In the Cluverlns
murder trial this morning, a colored cham
bermaid, Henrietta Wimbisht was further
cross examined ' by the defence, without
eliciting anything new. In reply to a ques
tion by the prosecutionahe saidhe saw the
prisoner at the police court at the time of
the examining trial.-when she and the floor
servant at.the Exchange Hotel both recog
nized him. " . y , :
Miss Ella Madison, first cousin of Lillian
Madison, was sworn. ; She testified that her
cousin Lillian came to Richmond on the
10th of. last October, and was the guest of
her aunt. She remained four days, vvitness
last saw her on the 14th of October. Lillian
remained every night at her aunt's, except

street often. On Sunday ; and Monday
afternoons.durlng that visit, she went to
her cousin E. C. Jones' house. Lillian did
not spend the night of the 6th of January
at her aunt s. Lillian was almost an enure
stranger in Richmond, and she .had never
to witness' knowledge been either as uony-
wooa cemeiery or : ne reservoir, xauiaa

again about four years ago, and again two
and a half years since. At the last two
visits she spent two wee&s eacn - ume.

fied that Bhe was not at his house in Janu
ary.- The last ume sne was were -was on
tne 14th ot last October, tie naa uvea in
Richmond nine years. '. He remembered
that Lillian had visited Richmond three
times in years past, but could not name the
dates. . He did not know where the Dun-
stans lived, and did,not know whether Lil
lian ever knew the Dunstan girls or not.
Judge CrumD. or tbe aerence. nereasKea
that the evidence of the last two witnesses
be stricken from the record, as .the move
ments of the deceased were irrelevant. -
Mr. Meredith, of the prosecution, oppos
ed the motion, because he wanted to show
that it was only the prisoner who could
have deceived the deceased, or who had an
opportunity to do so.
The court denied tne motion ana an ex
ception was noted. - - "
D. C. Richardson. Police - Justice of
Richmond, had received from Bath county
a trunk and bag containing clothing, let
ters, and other articles, among ; them a
number of envelopes. He removed all the
letters and envelopes and kept them in his
possession until he turned tnem over 10 ine
Commonwealth. Witnsas was here shown
a letter and a piece of written poetry,
which he said he had found at the bottom
of the trunk under a newspaper spread on
the bottom. He identified both. He was
also shown several letters and envelopes
which he Identified as having been taken
from the trunk by . himself. He had ' re
ceived a note enclosed in an envelope ae-
dressed to T. J. Cluverius, which he had
also turned over to the Commonwealth.
The defence objected to the last question
and answer, separately, but each time the
objection was overruled, and each time the
defence excepted, j ? - . , -
The trunk and hag were caueo ior ny me
defence and were brought into court. A.
discussion ensued as to the right of the de .
fence to examine the contents at this lime.1
The Court reserved its decision on this
point until to morrow. -..'r" 'r'-'- I
The witness said ne naa uaen out au uw
papers in the trunk, which was opened in
the presence of an officer of this Court and
tbe lather oi tne aeceasea. ne naa laxen
out in all about one hundred articles, in
cluding twenty-five or thirty photographs,
lie had examined and read every paper in
the trunk. Witness identmed several large
seal envelopes, containing a letter and a
watch and chain and other articles found
on the prisoner when he was arrested.
W. It. Quarles, banker and broker, was
next sworn. He said he had been connec
ted with banks for twenty years. Did not
testify (as a professional expert; had seen
the prisoner's handwriting, having had
business transactions with him, in which
his writing was necessary. A postal -card
which the defence admitted was in the
prisoner's writing, a letter and an envelope,'
were shown, and witness said he thought
that the writing in all three instances had
been done by T. J. Cluverius. The other
letters and the envelopes previously shown
to - Police Justice Richardson, witness
thought v were . in the handwriting of
(Jluveruis. Tne piece or poetry iouna in
the trunk (which is of the most obscene
character), was wiUcally exaininecLby wit
ness, and he found teal ine writing on
and that on the postal card, which the de
fence had admitted as the prisoner's writing.
were alike. The general appearance or tne
writing on both was about the same,and he
had no doubt they; were . written by the
same person. 'h- - " ..
James u. uraig. an. expert dook Keeper,
who is now examining books in the First
Auditor's office, ia connection with irregu-
lanues there, was sworn. The letters pre
viously produced were ehowno him, and
he taid the writing was the same on them as
on the postal card admitted as written by
the prisoner. The writing was not identi
cal, but the name "Cluverius" was unmis
takably the same. The piece of poetry,
witness thought, was also written by the
person who wrote the postal card, although
there was a little variation in the general
appearance, caused, possibly, by the condi
tion of tbe mind; the poetry evidently
having been copied. ' He had never read
the paper through. It was a vile and vul
gar composition, lie am not cisim vo ue
an expert, but Be aid ciaim 10 ne a preuy
rood 1udge of handwriting. The cross
examination of the witness was severe and
rigid and occupied, two hours.
A. B. Cawthorn, or Jung at iueen
county, testified that be knew the prisoner.
He last saw him oerore tne nnaing oi miss
Madison's body in the early part of Janua
ry. ; Cluverius was ; near tbe . ladies en
trance to the Exchange Witness
did not know the exact day. It was in the
morning; probably about v o ciock.
Mrs. J. B. Dickenson was then sworn.
She said that she had lived in Bath county
all her life. - She knew Lijlian Madison,
who was a school teacher at a school-house
on witness' farm. Deceased came there
on tbe 16th of October and remained nil
the 12th . . of March, when she left.
Witness was familiar with the clothing
of deceased. She minutely described the;
red crochet shawl and hat and veil worn
by Miss Madison, and positively identified
the articles shown her. When Miss Madi
son left witness' house In March she carried
a bag made of brown . canvas; which wit
ness said she had made herself. Various
other articles of clothing.including a pair of
woollen mittens, a blue Jersey, and dresses
were described by the witness and fully
identified when shown to her, as was also
the canvas bag. On the 10th of March
deceased received a letter which witness
saw before it was given, to Lillian. The
trunk of deceased was. left locked at wit
ness' house and so remained . until sent to
Richmond. , Witness saw the direction
on the envelope of the letter -received by
Lillian on the 10th of March'. The enve
lope was white. Witness thought she bad
seen the same handwriting before on letters
received by Lillian. A number of envel
opes were here shown to witness, who said
the handwriting on them was very much
like that on the letters of the 10th of
March. - Soon after the last mentioned let
ter was received, Lillian came to witness
with a letter in her band and handed it to
her, and Bhe read a part of it. . Witness
could identify the letter. 'It was handed
to her, and after reading it she said it was
the same letter. - It was on account of this
letter that: Lillian had left witness' home
to go Richmond. V . . - - -
The defence - took exceptions, generally,
to the questions propounded to this witness
and the answers thereto. '
At I his point Mr. Meredith, of the prose-,
cutioh, stated to the court that it was evi
dent that the trial, as now going on, could
not be concluded by the end of the term
of court, and suggested tbe holding of two
sessions a day. After some discussion it
was decided that hereafter the court will
meet at 9 A. M take a recess from 2 to 4
P. M., and adjourn at dark.
At 4 o'clock the Court adjourned until
to-morrow; Mrs. Dickinson still being on
tbe witness stand. - . -.
Riciruoiro, May 19. The trial of T. J.
Cluverius for the murder of Lillian Madi
son was resumed at 9.15 o'clock this inorn
idg. There were but few- spectators out
side the bar, and only a small number with
in tije rait CoL Ayiett,' of the prosecu
tion, asked that the jury be sent out of the
court room in order that the question of
the admissibility of certain testimony
might be argued. The defence argued In
opposition to permitting the Introduction
by prosecution of one of the letters known
as the "Curtis letter," which is said to be a
forgery, and which it Is claimed was ad
dressed by Cluverius. : The letter was an
invitation or request from a lady of tLis
city to Hiss Uadison to come to Richmond
for the nurnosa of accomoavinz an invalid
to Old Point Comfoit The argument oc
cupied nearly two hours. At its conlcusion
the Court said it would examine authori
ties,, and that in the meantime the case
could go on in some other branch. The jury
was then recalled and Mrs. J. B; Dickin
son was again placed in the witness
chair. She testified that she had received
two postal cards from Lillian after the lat
ter had left her house. Both were dated
March 13. r She burned them before she
heard of Lillian's death, but could give the
substance of their contents, r The defence
Objected to witness giving the contents,
and the prosecution did not press the mat
ter. Lillian left witness house on January
5th, and returned on the 8th,' but witness
did - not know where ? she had been. She
thought the trunk exhibited in court waa
Lillian's. - Upon cross examination -witness
said that Lillian visited her cousin's family,
who lived in the .neighborhood, and other
families hear her home; Lillian had a lady
friend named Miss Kenny, who had 1 a
grown t brother.; ' Miss Williams and her
brother came to witness house to see Lil
lian Deceased at times seemed to be de
pressed in spirits and troubled,-but witness
never asked "why rshe was . so. She was
never visited by any gentleman, outside the
immediate neighborhood. Lillian's .de
meanor while at witness' house was fault
less. She was always kind, amiable and
gentle, and war always doing little acts of
kindness to contribute to witness' happi
ness: ' She did not consider Lillian a brave
woman. -
"' The prosecution sought to put in evi
dence the bundle of clothing found in the
river, and other articles found. The de
fence objected to the introduction of any
thing except the clothing found on ; the
person of the deceased and the glove found
on theYeservoir embankment. The objec
tion was overruled and the defence ex
cepted. :-; ;:-v:''-"V - ; ; : ." '
Z John L. Oliver, county . jailor of King
and Queen, testified that, acting under a
search warrant about two weeks ago, he
had searched the house of Mrs.- Tunstall,
the prisoner's aunt, and , there found an
overcoat and hat, which prisoner's mother
said belonged to "Tommie," meaning ber
son. . On cross examination witness said he
was accompanied by. three officers from
Richmond. Mrs. Cluverius was the only
white person at the house. She seemed
agitated when the warrant was read to her.
and : told a colored girl to go after some
one, but one of the officers stopped the
girl. . 'L:i'.;'::r- " ':''.--:Z
Emmett Richardson, of King and Queen
county, testinea tbat about juarcn loui or
12th he came to Richmond with Cluverius.
and that he wore a light fall overcoat and
slouch hat. To the best of his knowledge
and belief the overcoat and hat were the
same as worn by tbe prisoner ' at that time.
Upon their arrival in Richmond he, went
with prisoner to the Davis Hotel, where
Cluverius leit bis overshoes.
James M. Guthrie, assistant postmaster
at Braers, King & Queen county had re-,
ceived. letters , to be mailed, which to the
best of bis knowledge and belief were ad
dressed in the prisoner's handwriting.. He
was sure that some of them were ad
dressed to "Miss Fannie Lillian Madison,"
Milboro Springs. Bath county. Va. The
last letter was mailed four or five days be
fore it was reported tbat the prisoner bad
gone to Richmond. It. appeared during
Guthrie s testimony tbat a pnvate examina
tion of witness had taken place before by
. . . i . . i & -
counsjei. ior tne prosecution, anu mat uia
answers under oath didnot conform to all
that seemed to be expected.' Witness since
hia arrival in Richmond had roomed for a
time with Wm. Cluverius, brother of the
Drisoner. and also, with Messrs., Pollard
and Evans, of counsel for the defence. ' He
stated that there had been unkind feelings '
between himself and the prisoner for about
six months. ,.,!, '--.., :v -::
; Willie Dickenson, about fourteen . years
old. neohew of Mrs. Dickinson, testified
tbat he lived with his aunt. He remeuW
bered celling a letter at the post office in
March last for Miss Lillian, the day before
she left for Richmond. Witness said he was
familiar with thfe writing -on , tbe letter.
He was shown some of the letters found in
Lillian's trunk, and he said be had seen
even! of them before. The defence here
interrupted with the statement that the rele
vancy or this -letter testimony was now
under the consideration of the Court, and
that everything leading up to it should be
excluded. If it did not lead up - to the
main Question it was worthless. Witness
was nut aside for the present;
Judge John B. Foster, of King ; and
Queen County Court, testified that he knew
the prisoner as a practitioner in his court.
He knew his overcoat and had seen bis
watch-key. The key was shown him, and
he said it bore a general resemblance to the
one he had seen the prisoner wear, but he
was not positive that it was the one.
At 2 o'clock the Court adjourned until
to-morrow, so as to take time to examine
the authorities on the questions upon which
a decision had been reserved, and to give
counsel for the defense an opportunity to
examine the trunk and tbe bag oi clothing.
v Richmond. May 20. In the Cluverius
trial this morning the Court ruled that ' it
would exclude the evidence of Mrs. Dickin
son and little Willie Dickinson as to the
superscription on the envelope containing
a letter received by Lillian, in which she
was asked to come to Richmond, on the
ground that witnesses ' were not experts.
The Court also stated that the letter itself
could be admitted as testimony, but not as
an Independent fact apart from the visit to
Kicbmond. ana uat tne contents oi tne
Sistal cards received by Mrs. Dickinson on
arch 13th. which she had burned, could
not be taken as evidence. There was some
discussion over admitting the date of the
postal cards; the defence holding that there
was no rule known by which the cards
could be admitted. They were not part of
the res gegta of the case.; The prosecution
stated what it hoped to prove by tbe ad
mission of tbe postal cards or their dates.
The Court ruled that ihey could not be ac
cented as evidence. ;:. - yz
- At this juncture Mrs. Dickinson was re ¬
called. Bhe testified that wnen lanian
brought the letter to witness, saying there
was always something to bother ber and
that she had : to come to Richmond, she
gave no other reason for the trip. There
was a note inclosed in the letter which Lil
lian did not show witness. She said the
note was from Mr. Curtis, of Richmond
Several exceptions by tbe defence were
interspersed in this reexamination.;
W. H. Madison, cousin of the deceased.
testified that Lillian did not spend the night
of January 6th at his residence The last
time be saw her was when she was on the
way to Bath county. - Deceased was in
Richmond about nine years ago. -Witness
accompanied her home on that occasion.
She was again in Richmond four years ago;
and was taken home by her father. . He
did not know if Lillian ever . visited the
Dunstans. X
Miss Laura Curtis testified that she knew
Lillian at school in King & Queen county
She saw her in 1883 at her (witness) home
in Richmond, for half an hour: but had-
never seen , her since. . Tbe .letter before
mentioned was shown witness. She said
it was not in ber handwriting. It- looked
like Lillian's, but she would not swear to
it. She had corresponded with deceased
a vear after leaving school.
Harrv Curtis, brother of the last witness,
was sworn. He knew Lillian. He became
acquainted with ber at . school. He bad
never corresponded with her. He left
RicLmond on March 24th last to go to St.
Louis, but was taken sick and stopped in
Baltimore. He came back to Richmond
with Mr. Wren. He went to a detective
office and saw Mr. Meredith, of counsel
for the prosecution, who told him that he
waa not much like Cluverius. Witness did
not' ask for anv examination, but subse
quently heard his name connected by re-
nnrta with - the murder of Miss Madison.
He had heard that it was reported in King
and Queen and King William counties
that , he was the murderer of Miss Madi
son. - He was not at the American Hotel
on March 13th; on the night of that day he
was visiting a young lady. His picture
found in Lillian's trunk was given her by
his sister. He did not know tbat lauian
hml hia nictura until -recently,
I Tlorisnn. clerk at the American Hotel.
testified that he saw tbe body of deceased
at tbe alms house. He saw deceased at the
hotel on March 13. He turned over to De
tective Wren- a piece of the paper here
exhibited to witness and identified ; witness
said it was originally a letter.. Haying
some suspicions, he had opened it and
read it and thrown the nieces into a waste
basket The letter was brought down into
tbe office by a hotel waiter ana nanaea
in a. nffrn bov who was waiting for it.
The boy brought it back soon after and it
remained there some time before he open
ed it The defence objected successively
to every question propounded to this wit
ness, and to all his answers. - . ; -
Henrv Hunt, colored, office boy. at the
American Hotel. te?t!5ed that on the morn-' I
ing of tbe lulh of Inarch llr. Dodson had
given him a cote to take to room 21.' He
did so and found the young lady eating
Dreaxiast. no handed her the note and re
ceived an answer which he delivered to the
messenger in waiting. The messenger soon
returned and said he could not And the
man and left the note with Mr. Dodson.
He saw the occur ant of room 21 leave the
hotel during the day. - 7itnc3S was told
to stand aside until the hotel register could
be sent for; for the' pm-nose of ascertaining
the name of the occupant of room 211
w . L Madison; father , of Lillian, was
sworn.- tie said - he - thought - be could
recognize his daughter's writing. After .
looking at the name "FiL. Merton. Roa
noke City," in the Exchange Hotel register,
he said he had no doubt of its being his
daughter's writing. He next examined
the register of the American Hotel, where
the same name appears, and said that all
but! the letter "MM seemed "to be in his
daughter's writing. Tbe . note' mentioned
m liodson a and Hunt s testimony - was
shown witness, and he said he had no doubt
mat bis daughter' wrote it - The Curtis
letter . was - then closely examined by wit
ness, who finally "said he did not believe it
was in bis daughter's handwriting. !
" ; Henry Hunt was recalled and the Ame
rican Hotel register was produced, when it
was ascertained that Jr. Lt. Merton occu
pied room 21; Hunt said the occupant of
room 21 left the hotel about live minutes
after he handed her - the note. r' That was
about 11.30 a. m. She wore a black dress,
black hat and red shawl. " He had identi
fied the body at the alms-house as that of
the same person who occupied room 21 at
the hoteL Upon Cross examination he said
he saw the clothing at the alms-housa. with
the exception, of the shawl. " He had been
snown a watch kev at the alms house.
xiere prosecution said this made witness a
witness - for the defence. Mr. Meredith
claimed the right' to cross-question witness
ana moved tbe uourt to stop bis evidence
at this point 7 Judge Crump,' fori the. de
fence, insisted on his right 'to ' ascertain
from this cross-examination what was seen
by witness at the alms-house -belonging to
the deceased besides i the clothing. The
Court sustained Judge Crump,--but the
prosecution insisted upon arguing the case
and the jury was sent out. - Counsel on
both sides presented their views on the sub
ject and at 8 o'clock -..the Court took a re
cess until 4 p. m"the decision, of the ques
tion neing reserved until that hour.
