Does Not Have Letter.
He was asked to produce the letter from
Dennlson In which he was Instructed to
Jump his bond, but said he didn't have It.
Neither did he remember whether it was
a letter or telegram.
It was at this Juncture that Bhercllffe
said he had also been in trouble In Colorado
before going to Seattle. Mr. Thomas asked
him to tell about It.
I was attempting to rob a safe at Gil-

"How did you find out about the safe?

Instantly the attorneys for Dennlson ob

The first move of the day was the ap

directors were In office about two hours.
Regarding the Injunction, Mr. Weaver
said: "I am still the mayor of the city
and I mean to exercise all the rights of
my office. The Injunction cannot prevent
me doing my duty."

Hooker, who acted as tho manager or go
between.
I met Hooker," he said, "at Denver and
we had an understanding that this was the
wav we would work things if I ever .got
caught."
Shercliffe then swore that he had six or
eight witnesses at Logan and that Dennl
son had furnished them.
It was at this Juncture that Shercliffe
brought In the name of Charles Hepwell,
at that time state senator. Hepwell called
upon him In prison, he said, and talked
about getting him a change of work and
about his release. Dennlson, he said, had
told him that he had put up $1,000 to give
to Hepwell should ho secure the release of
Bhercllffe.
Thomas then Introduced the famous
financial statement as evidence and Item
by Item he went over It with the witness.
With the exception of one or two cases
Shercliffe said all he knew about It was the
statement itself and the things Dennison
had told him. Bhercllffe Identified both tho
statement and the letter accompanlng It as
the writing of Dennlson. The $50 "pnid to
Hamilton" he said was to pay Hamilton for
going over to another town and trying to
collect some money for him. The money,
he said, was sent him by Dennlson and he
himself paid it to Hamilton.
Regarding the $2,500 paid to McMillan
Shercliffe said Dennlson told him that Mc
Millan was to get $1,000 and that when he
found Shercliffe was to be released he
raised It to $2,000.
The other $500," Shercliffe said, "Dennl
son put on himself. He padded the wnole
business."
Story of Burled Diamonds.
Before turning him over to be cross ex
amined Thomas went back and asked Sher
cliffe what Dennlson had said about getting
the diamonds from near the Missouri Val
ley schoolhouse.
After telling the old story of the Dutcner
knife, he stated Dennlson said;
I kept the diamonds burled In the cel
lar over night, and being afraid they would
be stolen, I dug them up. Then I dug up
a fence post, put the diamonds in the post
hole and reset the post.
Shercliffe waa then turned over to At
torney Connell for cross-examination and
this was In progress when adjournment
was taken.
Shercliffe told of his career from the
time he left home, covering numerous
crimes and numerous terms in peniten
tiaries. It was brought out also that his
father had left an estate, to which Sher
cliffe was one of the heirs.
Once he was asked- it he had committed
any crime In Gallatin, Mo.
'I refuse to answer, he sain, pecauso
I might incriminate myself. That is what
you want me to do."
Before even meeting uennison ne testi
fied he had served at least two terms in
penitentiaries and was a participant in
many robberies.
'Do you remember Byrne, one or your
old pals," suddenly asked (Jonneu.
What do you call a pal," retorted Bher
cllffe.

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food 1 Not Suited.
When nature gives her signal that some
thing Is wrong it is generally with th food;
the old Dume is always faithful and one
Should act at once.
To put off the change Is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Arizona man
says:
"For year I could not Barely eat any
breakfast. I tried all kinds 01 breakrasl
foods, but they were all soft, starchy
meases, which gave me distressing head
aches. I drank strong coffoe too, which
appeared to benefit me at the time, but
added to the headaches afterwards. Toast
and co (Tea were no better, for 1 found th
toast very constipating.
"A friend persuaded m to quit the old
coffee and th starchy breakfast foods, and
use fostum Coffee and Grape-Nuts Instead.
I shall nver regret taking his advice. I
began using them thre month ago.
"Th change they hav worked In me
la wonderful. I now hav no more or Hie
distressing, sensation in my stomach after
eating, and 1 never hav any headaches. 1
hav gained twelve pounds In weight and
feel better In avery way. Grape-Nut mak
a delicious as well aa a nutritious dish, and
I find that I'ostum Coffee is easily digested
and never produce dyspepsia symptoms."

vlil." in each package.
prostitution, saloons, etc., explained the
lawyer.
"If you mean that man that Dennlson
sent to me to try to scare me, I do, but
I never knew him In Utah."
Again was the trail of , Shercliffe's j life
taken up when the attorney asked him If
he hud been to Butte about the time of
these happlngs.
"Did you ever hear of Jordan, the po
liceman who was killed there?"
"No, sir, I never heard of him," replied
the witness with some feeling.
Passes t'p Some Letter.
Then Connell handed the witness a let
ter which related to the murder of Po
liceman Jordan. The witness acknowledged
that It was his writing. Then, upon ex
amining It, he exclaimed:
"This letter is written with a lead pen
cil and some of the original has been
erased and other words Inserted. I did
not write that." Connell did not offer
the letter In evidence at that time, but
announced that he would.
Shercliffe again showed a spirit of brav
ado when Connell handed him another let
ter to Identify. While he was carefully
reading it Judge Green told the Jury that
they could rest for fjve minutes. At the
conclusion of the time, during which Sher
cliffe and Thomas held a consultation, Con
nell asked the witness if he identified the
letter as his writing.
"I haven't finished reading it yet," he
answered.
"That Is what I gave it to you for," an
swered the attorney.
"Well, I guess I needed the five minutes'
rest as well as. you people did," answered
Shercliffe. ' '.
.Where . Money Came From.
Connell then askt Shercliffe if he had
held up a saloon keeper at Malta, Colo.,
and robbed hlnl of $t00. This was objected
to and the objection was sustained.
"I expect to show by these questions,"
said Connell, "that Shercliffe turned over
money to thlr man Hooker and that this
money was used In his defense to the full
extent of the $6,700 which he said Dennlson
spent on him. I mean not only to show
his criminal record, but to show where he
got the money to give to Hooker. I mean
to show that the money spent on Shercliffe
was used entirely by Hooker, that It was
Shercliffe's money and that not a dollar of
It was spent by Dennlson-" This was ruled
out, however, as no foundation had been
laid for the testimony.
"Do you know Kid Sly?" was asked the
witness.
"No, sir."
"Do you mean to say you don't know
Allan, alias Sly? Didn't you have a part
nership with him?"
"No, sir."
"Don't you know a colored man by that
name?"
"I don't think I would form a partnership
with a colored man," hotly answered Sher
cliffe. The witness denied that he had talked
with Sly about the Pollock robbery, and
upon being further pressed he said "I have
no use for negroes, and don't associate with
them."
Then again was resumed the tedious
tracing of Shercliffe; through many states
and the duration of nis stay In the various
towns he visited. Once he said he went to
Denver, "spending the proceeds of the
Pollock robbery." During this time he
said Dennlson had sent him money by
the Western L'nlon.
When asked about the watch, two re
volvers and tho $.i0 which it has frequently
been published, 8hercllffe stole from Den
nison while at his home on parole, the
witness became a little confused and drop
ped into the vernacular of toughs.
"Did Dennlson give you that $50," asked
Connell.
"No sir," answered the witness. "I
throwed the 'bunk' Into John Dennlson
and he gave it to me. I told him Tom
said to do It."
At that time the witness testified h
knew that Tom Dennlson was out of the
city. The watch he said Dennlson had
given him, though he admitted writing to
Dennlson after being placed back In prison
and telling him If he would send him an
other watch he would return the one h
had.
"Did he send the watch?" asked the
lawyer.
"Yes, he did," answered Shercliffe. "It
was a cheap $7 affair and I kept them
both."
Foundation for Impeachment.
Then followed an hour's effort trying
to get Shercliffe to locate the Union Depot
hotel, at which he claimed to have stopped
while In Omaha.
Connell then dragged Sherclirre back to
Kansas City and located him, after many
objections from the prosecution, in a hoi
pital, with a pistol shot wound in his
heel.
He asked the witness If he had told on
C. B. Bean while in the hospital, about
the diamond robbery, and that he told him
he had taken the diamonds to Omaha.
After a wrangle, during which Connell ex
hibited a letter purporting to show that
such waa the rase, Bhercllffe denied that
he had. Connell announced that he was
laying the foundation fur the Impeach,
ment of hi testimony. As Shercliffe do
nled that ne naa taixea witn anyone re
garding th robbery or Dennlson while In
the hospital. Judge Green held this was
not sufficient foundation for Impeachment
and no further questions along this line
were askad.
Court then adjourned until 9 o'clock to
morrow.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 24-Wllliam
J. Bryan appeared in tho probate court
here today at a hearing on the accounts
of the estate of the late l'lillo S. Ben
nett of which Mr. Bryan Is administrator.
DuMng the examination, Mr. Bryan was
submitted to a rapid-fire of questions from
Judge Henry Stoddard, counsel for Airs.
Grace L Bennett, the widow, und at times
considerable Impatience was manifested by
both questioner ahd the witness.
Attorney White was first put on the stand
as counsel for the administrator to ex
plain the accounts, but Mr. Bryan Inter
rupted so frequently that Judge Stoddard
suggested that Mr. Bryan wait until he
was on the stand before he attempted to
explain matters. Mr. Brjan then said:
"Your honor, I object to the insinuations
thrown out by Judge Stoddard. For eigh
teen months I have heard these Insinua
tions and I am tired of It. I am willing
to testify. I want to testify."
Judge Stoddard remarked that If Mr.
Bryan would go on the stand later, he
would ask him questions. Then proceed
ing with the examination of Mr. White,
Judge Stoddurd flfked for a statement of
the amount of the bills receivable, ac
counts and notes receivable In the co
partnership at the time of Mr. Bennett's
death. Mr. White gave this amount as
$J15,270, and on Match 1, UM, seven months
later, the total hud Increased to a lace
value of $2.7,S5o. Mr. Bennett was senior
member of the firm of Bt-nnett, Sloan &
Co., of New York.
Mr. Bryan then took the stand. He said
that to the best of his knowledge the
amount presented In court was the exact
amount of the money received from the
estate. He only knew of the value of the
co-partnership from the appraiser's state
ments made to him by Mr. Sloan.
"Do you know the face value of the
bill, notes and accounts receivable due to
uennett, Sloan & Co., at the tlnfe the
business was taken over by the new cor
poration?" asked Judge Stoddard.
"I only know from the statement filed
that it wus $2:-7,865.57," Mr. Bryan replied.
Small Los In Accounts.
When asked about the small amount
collected on the notes outstanding Mr.
Bryan stated that the loss on accounts was
only $2,500.
It appears that on July 21, 1904, Mr.
Sloan turned over to Mr. Bryan, as ex
ecutor. $172,744, but Mr. Bryan could not
say for how long a time this sum had been
accumulating. His statement that he had
allowed the new corporation ninety days
time In which to sell the merchandise of
the estate was suhJected to some rHti.
clsrn by Judge Stoddard, who asked If the
ninety days time had not been given
would it not have been possible to have
paid the legacies earlier. Mr. Bryan re
plied: "I paid the legacies as fast as my
attorneys thought it safe to pay them."
After a recess Mr. Bryan, resuming the
stand, said he had Just talked with Mr.
Sloan In New York by telephone and had
learned that Mr. Sloan has a little less
than half Interest In the new company.
Mr. Sloan told him that the money re
ceived, from the real estate In New York
Is retained In the Investment account.
Judge Stoddard said: "No doubt Mr.
Sloan has done things which may be right
from his point of view, but he Is acting In
two capacities and I think a check should
be put upon It. Somebody, and that some
body Is evidently Mr. Bryan, should see
to It that the estate Is protected."
'The executor has done what he believes
Is right," said Mr. Bryan.
mil for Hen Ices.
Judge Stoddard also took up the Item of
$2,500 for Mr. Bryan's own services. Said
he: "Mr. Bryan, what did you charge $2,500
for?"
"For usual and extraordinary services as
executor," replied Mr. Bryan.
"What were the usual and what were the
extraordinary services?"
"The usual services were those performed
as executor, and the extraordinary services
were those In contesting the attempt to re
move the executor and In defense against
the attack upon the will Itself."
"I ask you again, what nave you done In
settlement of this estate?"
Mr. Bryan replied: "I have discharged
the duties of executor to tbe best of my
ability and while I have allowed the at
torneys to put Into the account what they
thought to be a fair charge for my serv
ices, I Intend to use a part of that money
to carry out the desire of Mr. Bennett for
which he set apart certain truRt funds. The
inheritance taxes have reduced the trust
funds and I shall use about $1,300 to make
up the deficiency."
Prliee for Fasays.
The wish of Mr. Bennett was that prizes
be given in about forty colleges for excel
lence in essays on the topic, "Free Prin
ciples of Government," and the money for
the prizes was provided for in the will.
Afterward Mr. Bryan was questioned as to
the Items Included In his own fee for serv
ices of $2,500. He was asked whether that
Included pay for any trips from his home
in Nebraska to New York or New Haven
In connection with the bequest of $rA0O0 for
himself and family contained in the sealed
letter left by Mr. Bennett. He replied that
It did not Include these trips.
Mr. Bryan expected to go to New York
tonight and return here tomorrow, when
the hearing will be continued. .Soon after
the close of the session today Mr. Bryan
paid a call on Mrs. Bennett, the widow of
Philo S. Bennett.
