sumed the cross-examination. Court
convened an hour earlier than usual,
so the prisoner's testimony might

point where Prosecutor Wendenburg

lor the 'crime, and preliminary de
tails cf the homicide itself.

that night?"
"I don't know anything about the
gun. I did not see It until the
highwayman raised it." V

wife hadn't suggested a ride you
wouldn't have been there?"
'.'No," responded Beattie; "my
mind wasn't made up about the ride
when my wife suggested it."
Harry Latham, was the first wit
ness called by the prosecution In re

Paul, living in the same house with
Paul. She was asked If she knew
anything about the receipt of a tele

MURPHY RELEASED
WAS NOT THE MAN
'Mr. W. J. Murphy was not in Al
bany, Ga., at the time . of the al
leged gambling and larceny, August
12. This was the opinion of coun-
sel for the state ot Georgia and of
Hon. W. A. Hoke, associate justice
of the supreme court, before whom
evidence was taken in the matter of
t)ie extradition df Mr. Murphy. Mr.
J. W- Walters, Jr., of Albany and
Mr. James H. Pou both stated that
!t did not appear that Mr. Murphy
was the man; In fact,- Mr. Pou had
ascertained from Seaboard official i
that Mr. Murphy was on a run as
conductor August 10 and could not
possibly be the party wanted. This
was a cause of mistaken Identity.
Judge Hoke took occasion tb say that
the evidence was conclusive that Mr.
Murpby was in Raleigh. -The two
witnesses brought . here , by , . JWr.
Walters were convinced that he was
not the party wanted. Mr. Murphy
was therefore released from custody.

plying with the request of the coui.ty
commissioners to supervise the com
putation of tho tax lists. Register of
Deeds C. H. Anderson, on the r.d-
vice of his attorneys, having declined
to do the work. Along in May when
the question of whose duty It was to
compute the tax lists arose, Mr. An
derson consulted Messrs. R. C.
Strong and C. B. Aycock, who ad
vised him that under the law It was
the auditor's duty. After this opin
ion, Auditor Holding was ordered to
supervise the doing of this work and
it -is being done in his office.
An opinion from Messrs. T. W.
Bickett and R. B. White', was read
ta ' the commissioners yesterday
placing the duty on the register of
deeds. In this opinion the month of
September was referred to as a dull
month, when the books could readily
be made up. Mr. Anderson said to
day that he acted strictly on the ad
vice of his attorneys in refusing to
compute the tax lists, and as to Sep
tember's being a dull month, he
would say that yeBterday, the date
on which the opinion was read, his
office received papers, tho foes of
which amounted to $130 and for
which work his clerical force would
be busy four days at the least this
for one day's receipts. '

Boston, Sept. 5 Miss Lena Lcavitt
a west end girl, has received more
than one hundred proposals of mar
riageall due to her proclaiming her
right to choose for herself when it
came time to select a life partner,
What she did was simply to state
publicly that she did not believe in
the custom still in vogue among many
orthodox Hebrews of allowing the
parents, with the aid of a schatchen
or matchmaker, to arrange all the de
tails of a marriage pact without con
sulting the ones to be married.
From the proposals Miss Leavitt
has selected one, that of a young
man from Watertown, and they will
be married in the winter.

State Department Receives Lnrite
Sum In KnveloiK- Without Name.
Washington, Sept. 5--A clerk in
the Index and files bureau of the
state -department was busy opening
and classifying the mail that had
just been delivered Saturday morn
ing, and as he sliced a sealed en
velope and emptied the contents he
observed five $100 bills- drop out,
He gathered them up, and then
delved Into the envelope to find tho
accompanying letter.
But the only enlightenment he
got was a slip, of paper, on which
was written "conscience."
The state deparment officers think
it is just as well not to give out
the post mark on the envelope. Si-ch
letters are frequent in the treasury
department, but unusual in the state
department. The treasury will prob-
iihly lay claim to the money, to lie
covered Into the miscellaneous fund
of the treasury.
