The taking of evidence ! by the corOner's
jury In regard to the death of John Huntington - ,
ton was resumed 'enlerllay morning and was
ant completed until late In the afternoon
'fho evidence produced failed to verify the
theory upon which certain portions of the
Investigation were carried on . and long before .
fore the day was over It became evlent ! that
death by his own bet was the only verdict
which could reasonably be renderell. A. C.
Graham's testimony 111,1 , nol fulfill the expectations .
pectatlons aroused by his sensational state.
mont made Monday evening , to the effect
thnt the condition of the cartrlllge shells
showed that only five of them had been ox-
plo < 1ed recently , whereas six bullets had !
been found When put again upon the stand i
yesterday mornIng , and ! asked to testify after '
examining the cartridges hy daylight , he
could ! not say that his first supposition was
correct.

anti tolll how Cromwell , when the shooting
was going on.I ent out of time door leading
from thin private office to the cioset showing !
the jury In n spectacular form the terrified
antics through which he went while trying
to make his escape. Trimble left by the
Maui street door . and ns he did so saw
Cromwell emerge from the side door on
First avenue amid run In the direction of the
a rm : nil hotel. Subsequent Investigation I
ShOWNI that there was no exit from the
closet to the side entrance of the building ,
the latter leading from the street directly
into Day & Hess' olOce. The irresistible
conclusion from this was that Cromwell had
forced his way through a brick wail without
displacing an atom of brick or mortar wimicim
In view of Cromwell's size was beyond the
belIef of the Jtmry.
WHElm 1m GOT Tim MONEY.
Fred Lanib the grllather of the dead
man , testified thnt he loaned Huntington $50
Just before he left for his New York visit.
TIme testimony of the other witnesses was
only a threshing over of old straw , and no
new facts were . elicited.
In the afternoon the jury went to the
Grand hotel to hear time testimony of Hayden
and Cromwell. The COrner selmed to bs In
good spirits , hut the latter was not resting
so easily as on Monday. Dolh described the
convesatloll that look place In the private
office at time batik In much the Eam way . as
It has already been given to the public by
the papers. Doth said that they were un-
amlI amI did no shooting. Cromwell's
testimony did much to strengthen the b21ef
In hlmmntington's Innocence of any financial
\rookedness. He said that he could not
specIfy any partcular check that was missIng -
Ing , and that so far as he could see the bank
had not lost the $500 , excepting SD far ns
the bookkeeping was concerned.
Time mystery surrounding a note about
which the Inspectors questioned huntington
Sunday morning was cleared up this arter-
noon. This note was for $50 and was paid
this month , alhough huntington woul not
tel where lie got the money with which to
pay it. John Bennett , the cashier of the
Stale Savings bank , went on the stand yesterday -
terday and testified that on the same day
when the note fell due Huntington borrowed
$50 nt hIs ban . giving a note signed by him-
cel and J. H. Pace his brother-In-law. as
security.
The testimony all tim way through was
contradictory In the extreme The case went
to the jury about 6 o'clock and In hal nn
hour n verdict was rendered finding that the
deceased met his death by n bullet fired
'from ' a revolver with suicidal ! Intent.

lortculural society Is now baing humid The
first session was held yesterday ! at the court
house and was largely ntem\11 by lhose In-
lereatcil In the business of raising fruIt.
About thirty delegates are present from var-
Ious parts of the territory comprised by the
society and ns many more are expected to
arrive today. The first session was opened
yesterday niorning with Preslent ! M. O.
Edwards ot Glenwood In time chair and
George Van lIouten of Lenox as secretary.
The greater part of the day sessoos ! was
taken up with the discussion of niumna cherries -
rica anti other small fruits. The reports
from time delegates Indicated a light crop In
mosl parts of the dIstrict. The strawberries
were Injured more or less by the droutim but
the trees and Illanl arc mostly In good con-
dIton and the prospects are fair for good
crops tn the future. An Interestng time was
had discussing time best methods oC cultvat-
lag small fruits and a number of Inlenstlng
papers on various subjects connected with
this line of work were read by O. W. Weh
of Cass county . H. C. Raymond of Council
Bluffs. L. O. WillIams of Council Bluffs ,
President Edwards ! , Ira D. McGeehon of At-
lantc and others. In the evening a number
oC lal1lEs were present at the meeting ,
\vhlch was under the auspices oC the Polta-
watamle County Fruit OrQwers' anti Garden-
ers' association. A number of musical nov- .
elies were introduced In addition to the
papers anti time audIence was apparently
hlgly interested and amused.

where more attractive beauty Is displayed
than Is imaged In the long tabes : covered
with the stacks of apples furnished by the
members of the Horticultural society , whose
midwinter exhibit Is attracting such crowds
to the Eiseman builthtng. The display as
seen from the street Is very enticing and Is
made still more so by the splendid ! floral dis-
play In the large west window , made by
J. F. Wilcox. The big window has been
transformed into a drawing room where all
the furishings are wrought In 'nature's
brightest colors and sweetest flowers. Time
carpet Is composed of wlntergr'J and
Christmas holly. In the foreground Is a'
large rug with a groundwork oC white chyrsan-
themums. Time fringe nt the end Is made eC !
lies of the valley . and the colors are mag-
nifcnt , American Beauty roses , forget-me-
nets , vIolets , clla and Easter lilies. Another
polar bear rug Is wrought entirely of pampas
grass and Is startngly real. A mantel ,
built up cf rich rOSES and greens stands In
the corner and the background Is occupied
by a heavy bank of ferns and palms. . The
work Is very arfstc and fa exquls.tely beut-

varieties of vegetables.

The relief Ilemaudell was grantee1 In part
amid time executors of the trill , the Ileendant ,
the Ottumwa Library association . antI the
plaintiffs appeal , the appeal of the executors -
tors and th Library association having been
first taken The wi t vlses to Otumwa
subject to mortgages therlon anti charges
shitcified oml real estate described In para-
gallh 9 "In trust" for the IJUrposes cpecl-
nell. The nronerlv to be manalCI antI con-
trailed by timreo truslees selected ; by the city
couimcil Amoug the purposes of time trust
are : First , to provide n sinking fUl1l1 of
$20.000 for the purpose of rebuiding the
hotel. Second , to Ilro\'ll1e u fund of $6.000
for the benefit of the pUblc library then
established . Third , to use n part of other , .
funds for furlher benefit of the Library asso-
clatlou. ourth , to alI the poor RII neel1y
peoille of the city of Ollumwa who arc dependent -
pendent upon their own labor for their lvel-
hood Fiftim . to alI the religious societies of
the cIty. Sixth . to accumulate a fuml to
build or ali In building ! amI maintainIng a
foundling hospItal.
ht Is claimed that these purposes exceptIng -
Ing that wlh regard to the library . are 10t
germane to the objects of the city , anti that
I has 10t the power necessary to take the
property anti execute the trust.
The court says thaI "the tact that the
city of Ottumwa may not accept time trust
will not defeat It. I the city shoull refuse
to act , ample power Is lodged In the proper
court to appoint allot her , trustee. Time pro-
vIsion In the wi 111 regael to the erection
of a building Is a smmggestiomm. The Intent
of the testator ns to all materIal maters Is
clear . anll we discern no legal objection to
carrying It Into elTect. Our conclusion on
the entire record Is that so much of the
entre
decree of the district court as Is questioned
on appeal of plaintiffs Is aiiIrmnod and so
much as Is submllccl for review on the appeal -
peal of the Ottumwa Library association and
the executors Is reversed. "
