qVheu In Egypt In 1854 he was In
vited to draw up a memorial on the
subject, and tbe enterprise was sanc

received a letter of oonoesU.on from tbo
viceroy of Egypt. Eminent English
engineers (among them G. Btephenson)
questioned lt» practicability, which has
slnco been clearly demonstrated. Work
•was begun In 1850, the I’asha of Egypt
being Induced to take a large number
of shares. The scheme was at flmt fa
vored, but later tvas thought to bo a
political ono and received no encour
agement. As a result of this belief, on
tlie death of the pasha tbo letter of
ooneuwon was revoked but was sub
sequently renewed, with certain condi
tions. On August 15, 1805, a canal
large enough to ndmt t of tbo passage
of KUuuiboate.was opened. lnlSOUbe

ships and schooners could pass through.

Before going on tho bench Judge Mar
tin* had bora district attorney. He was
asked:
Is there'a Jlgtlnstlon between pris
on casta and ball cases in regard to
their thne of trial?”
There has always been. Ball cases
were always tried first for many rea-
*0nS.”
He said that business In bis court tha
present year had not been delayed by
the failure of tlhe district attorney to
furnish cases.
'From your experience as district
attorney and as Judge, Is It possible
for -tile courts to dispose of bait and
prison cases both?"
“In ray opinio.., m>.”
••Since Jon. 1, 1331, has It been pos-
stlbo to dlsposo of both classes at cases
pending with ttbo present force of the
district attorney’s office and tbe pres

Ex-Judge Van Hosan then croeo-ex-
umtoed Judfeo M«irt!n*.\
Do you remember writing a letter
fn 1891, that -the present Judicial force
of dhe criminal court was sufficient to
itnainsact tbe criminal business lu the
courts?”
'i believe I did write such a letter.’’
■Do you believe that there bus been
such an Increase during 1894 In crimi
nal cases as to make it impossible for
tlhe courts to transact business now?”
I believe that all ball cases cannot
be disposed of.’’
Judge Mainline then said tUa.t the let
ter written in 1891 was tlhe uot of the
entire count and not altogether his
private correspondence. He said he
now considered the criminal court In
adequate
“Are you latware rivaC there was a
roan tn the Toombs oha-rged with mur
der from November 16, 1891, until his

‘Yes, I have heard so.”
"How often have you adjourned
count -for want of buriness during the
post ytfar?"
"Twice flhtat I can remember of,” re.
plied the witness.
"la It nnt so tthtitt fafflune to bring

Often that (happens."
