Th* Harris court-martial ast until a Ist*
hour last night. It tvss but a few minute*
before 12 when an adjournment wax an
nounced until 10-nt|tht at I a clock. It I*
believed that to-night's session will com
plete the case, save for another private
session th* court will probably hold In
order lo arrive at a decision.
At the lam session ihe accused was on
the stand and had concluded his state
ment. I—st night he again assumed the
stand, and was subjected to s lergthy and
close cross-examination by the Judge ad
vocate. Carpi. Harris admitted that he
had taken off his equipment a* the Re
publican Rlues were about to depart for
■anilsvllle, and he placed it In the car,
though no permission lo do *o hsd been
granted him by the commanding officer.
Corpl. Harris declared that he could
recall no conversation cm the train after
leaving Savannah with Lieut. J. M Drey
er, In which Ihe hitter had warned him
that h> had not started out In the right
way and that hi* conduct should he mend
ed. Lieut. Dreyer had testlfled that h*
had administered this warning to Harris
Relative to guard duty nt Louiavllle and
his alleged lateness In reporting, the cor
poral said he had been told at 12 o'clock
by Lieut, Borthelmess that he wa* to re
port at 2 for duty, and that he was at Ihe
quarters from I,lb yntll a few minutes
before 2 o'clock, when he hod gone up
stair* and (sported.
The corporal claimed that ll was on
Wednesday, that he was arrested, and that
II was about 4:8 o'cks-k I tie next after
noon that he Jumped out of the wtn.tow
In order to get something to eat, as he
had had no other meal than breakfast In
the meantime and was hungry. He de
clared that he did not escape a second
lime, despite the fact that It had been
staled on the eland that he had been
seen si aiding nn the corner talking to
istiirs after hi* outer garments had been
taken away from him, as a mean* of pre
venting another escape. He asserted most
positively that It wo* not the same day
as that on which he wa* put under ar
rest that he escaped from quarters
Itesplt* the statement of several wit
nesses to the contrary, th* corporal swore
that he had not fallen out whi: th# com
pany was on the way to th* depot In
lavul*vll|e. but that ll was after the arri
val at the station that he decamped. He
did not. he said, swear In the Justice court
when the attachment suit wa* tried, that

to the depot from ihe quarters. He h<l
no permission to fall out at Ihe depot. The

cursed l.leut. Barthelmeas. In answer to
a question from Capt. Cann. the accused
te|sealed that he had not been talking to
ladies on the comer while minus his outer
garment*, and expressed surprise that any
one should have made such statement
of him.
Private Hanl • wa* swom. and hta tets
nmony. In sutwlanc*. wa* that he had
Istn arrested for cursing an officer; that
he ha.l neologized to the officer and to
f'apt. Wilson; that Ihe latter had totd

saying thut h* might have slated In giv
ing his ordinal testimony that it was on
Wednesday, hut. If an. R was through
having been confused |.y ths questions of
the counsel for the accused. The raiualn
testlfUd from memoranda that related to
l*lnt* suggested to him while he listened
io Ihe evidence that waa adduced by th*
de fens*.
The testimony given by Pay-member
f'ampo* and Mr. Walker relative to con
versations they had with him wa* false.
Pup: Wilson wild, and It was only the re
spect tnat he felt was due the court that
prevented him applying a stronger term
to their statement*. He had ma-le absc-
Imely no statement to Pay-member f'am
po*. he said, of purpose to buck and gog
Harris.
Here ('apt. Wilson began to make a
Statement relative to Ihe trouble that had
originated among some of the Rhies in a
restaurant In lamlsvllle, wiving that the
participants In the disorder had sought
to make every poeslble amend; lhat some
of them ha<t hern drunk; that they
had apologised. almost on bended
kier. ond that he had pern fit
to accept the apologlea and pass over
the offense Capt Cann demurred, claim
ing that the witness had absolutely no
right to bring tn a mutter of that sort,
mentioning the names of witnesses that
had been Introduced for the defense, and
make statements about them that would
be clearly prejudicial to their Interest*,
lie sought, he declared, the protection of
the court for the witnesses, as they were
entitled to It. It was clearly through mal
ice. he Stated, that the names of I'rlvaia
Jernlgan anti other* were IntrodiK-tg) hv
the witness In the vein In which he ha.l
begun.
To this. Capt. Wilson said he desired
to say that Capt. Cann had taken advan
tage of every opportunity to raise point*
that he considered might militate against
him. and that he had declared his Inten
tion to Impeach his testimony. It
wss by the evidence of Jernlgan
and othera whom he might name, he
thought, that counsel for the accused had
expected to impeach his testimony, and It
was to show to the court Just what the
action* of these men had been. In order
that a full understanding of the situation
might he gained, that he wished to give
the Information.
Capt, Cann responded that he had not
the slightest desire to see Innorent men
suffer for any fault of his; that he had
a perfect right to tmpearh Capt Wil
son's testimony. If he could do so, anti
that he was willing to stand the responsi
bility hlnwelf.
Th* court overruled Capt. Cann'a ohjer.
tlon, and Capt. Wilson proceeded to tell
how the men concerned In the difficulty
had done their utmost, almost servilely,
to right themselves with him. and with
the company, and (hat he had determined
to grant request, believing that they
thoroughly regretted th* occurrence.
A* to hi* alleged statement that Harris
was a thief anil that he had been reduc
ed to the position of cook In the Tennes
see regiment, with which he served fot
stealing. Capt. Wilson said he did not
recall whether or not h hail made th*
statement, hut that he hart heard the
story of Harris’ alleged had conduct In th*
command, and that he had retreated it.
Harris. Capl. Wilson continued, had
never come to him In loulsvllle and asked
permission to remain over In that city,
■ hough It was clearly understood among
them that such permission would have
to be secured before sny of them could
stay ov*r. H* also said that Harris had
not fallen out at the depot, but Just a lit

quarter* that w*r* occupied by It in Lou

Mr* J. R. Smith, whose trunk* were
attacked Saturday night at Ihe Central

er similar rntperlcnce with a magistrate’*
officer,
Th# attachment sued out by the Bou'h

bad been seised Saturday, was dissolved
, yesterday by the payment by Mr*. Hmlth

j th* advice of her attorney, whi told her
that It would be Ihe easiest way out of
the matter, uni as she wanted to po*:-
pone her departure Indefinitely and light

Having aettltd this matter, Mr*. Smith
thought her troubles at an end. but Ihe
account of th* first trouble s*.m*d to
have atirred up another creditor In the
person of Mr. C. H. Schroder, who. ac
cording lo hi* statement, also wanted to
collect a grocery bill of 124 OT. which he
say* ha* been standing for about a year
and a half. He called on Mr* Smith at

Mr* Smith that she had not the money'
to settle and consequently the matter
would have to stand. Eater the officer
called, but Mrs Smith refused to see him
Thl* did not suit Ihe creditor, who, afir
arguing the case for some time, finally
told her that h- would take legal steps
to have the bill collected, and Inadver
tently mentioned something about bag
gage. Mrs. Smith told him "she'd see."
and apparently tcok her measures accord
ingly. for although Mr. Hohr idler and an
officer of Magistrate Kline's court were
on hand half an hour before the train
