He and Miss Punch were frequently together, I suppose to assist each other In their work. He was thoughtful of the comfort and pleasures of others and at ail times waa a Christian gentleman. He frequently spoke of his wife and eon and always ten derly. He often wrote to her and I am sure their married life baa been happy." The youngest Mr. Dlrksen, who roomed at the same bouse with Rev. Rabe, wept Ijt telling the Jury what an exemplary man be -bad thought the pastor.

The relations of Baron Burrbard von ' Muenehauteo with the so called marriage syndicate which financed his Journey to tho L'oirM Stafs InlStH to obtain a rich wife, have been made public through the blackmail charge brought by the Baron against Hermann Pincus, Morlts Mendelssohn and Adolf Mendelssohn, the three men who mad;; up the syndicate.

On his return to Germany he bad to reckon with the holders of the bills. A compromise was negotiated with. Pincus and the Mendelssohna, who surrendered his paper on the payment of comparatively small sums.

Her Identification of Cornish was not pos itive. She said be looked like the man, but hesitated before replying affirmatively when asked if she did not think he was the man. The cross-examination suggested that an effort wilt be made to show insanity or de lusion under hysteria. It Is also probable Cornish will endeavor to prove an alibi. In reply to Mr. Osborne, for the prose cution, she said there were three atamps on the package and when shown the wrap per with five stamps in two rows said she might have overlooked the lower row. When the cour: opened David N. Car valbo, the handwriting expert, resumed hla place tu the .witness chair.

She aald the man left the postomce and she did not know where he went after that. Tho poison package wrapper was shown her and she said the address looked like the ono she saw. She attended the coroner's inquest snd saw Mollneux and was sure he wss not the man and told her husband she should make known her Information; he petsuaded her that there was no occasion for her to mix herself up with the case. Calls Cornish' Guilty Man. "Is that the man you saw with the pack age?" pointing to Mollneux. "It Is not," replied the witness ' with emphasis. 4 ' "Do you think you could recognize him?" asked Mr. Osborne, commencing his cross examination. "I think I can." "Do you say Cornish Is that man?" "I ssy be looks like him." Cornish - stood up at the Invitation of the district attorney, "la that the man?" Mr. Osborne said. "It looks- very much like him," Mrs. Stephenson replied. "But Is it?" "To the best of my recollection it is." Mrs. Stephenson said it waa at the first trial she first recognised Cornish aa the man who mailed the package.

Floyd St. John, who had tho seizure made, and who is local manager for tho Oliver company, said: "As early as last Juno I proposed to tbo South Omaha board that It purchase twelve of our machines and give us twelve of the old ones used In the schools and n balaneo of $22.50 In cash per machine. The deal bung on and hung on. and then when tho Taxpayers' league took up the matter of detecting fraud I was nsked to permit a detective to act as our agent. He did so and he made the deal. The company was no party to the payment of the bribe, but was to have the price I had named. About October 8 we delivered tho new machines and took the old ones, presenting our bill for the balance of $22.50 apiece, or $270 la all. At Its meeting Mondny night Kubat had our bill turned down and I have seized the machines with the expectation of re storing them only when we are paid the $270 and court costs. I have the whip hand, for I hold the twelve second-hand machines and they will fully rolmburso us for the rent of the new machines should the board attempt to call the whole deal 08 .When I reached the school house this morning and had the officer make the seiz ure It resulted In the dismissal of a class in typewriting and a demoralization Of that department, perhaps, but that is the board's worry, not mine." The transaction caused considerable ex citement about the court house, as tho re port was that "Captain Neve had gone down to South Omaha to bring In twelve type writers," and someone gave the Inference that the "typewriters" were not machines but operstlves thereof. Anticipation of the spectacle of the gallant captain marching up Farnam street with twelve fair stenog raphers in tow sent half the office forces to the front windows.

It Is even reported that the Southern railway man has already actually entered the service of the Harrl man line and that bis Identification aa president , will become publicly known in a shortlme. The fact that this rumor cannot be con firmed at the .Colon Pacific headquarters In Omaha does not detract from the cred ence given it by a certain faction.
