said lie h id spared the money of the d«id in the trial of this case. He paid a high tribute to the honesty and integrity of William Baxter, now dead, but he said in the next trial of the case he proposed to show the soda] standing of Mr. Baxter and his immoral habits would be brought out and that he would show that the money he borrowed for which the notes were given was used to pay him out of some difficulties he had gotten into. “There will be blushes come to the cheeks of some of the witnesses who testified against me in this when the case comes on next court," said the big man as he puffed at a cigar. “The relations of William Baxter with some feminine members of Carbon’s high society will be shown and grown up women will have their eyes opened when they hear the relations of fheir mothers with Baxter paraded before the jury. I will show where Box er's money went and I will show that I stood by him as only a friend can do and gave him the money when ready money was sorely needed by him. If the old man was living there would be none of this trouble now for he would know why he borrowed the money on the different occasions when he had to have if quick. I know he had property and was worth considerable money but when he borrowed the money of me he did not have time to realize on his property and I w as a friend to him in need. T tell you the next trial of the case will he an interesting" one and I feel that the jury will have enough shown them to convince them that I am an innocent man.” The? 0 words were spoken by Simpson as he smoked and his eyes danced with fire as he talked of the trial tha 1- was to come. Whether he is jus* talking or really means to stir the -fxial world of little Carbon we do not know but if there is anything in hi- - alk we would advise people of Carbbn to be ready for anything that might come up.
Rowers in Vermillion. Claude G. Bowers, Democratic candidate for congress from this district, is campaigning in Vermillion county this week and he has been well received by the people there. At Cayuga Saturday night Mr. Bowers made a speech to the people that was eagerly listened to and heartily applauded. He said that he did not want to sneak into congress by the back door but preferred to go in the front door with the feeling that the people of the district were behind him. He will speak at Perrysvllle Monday night where a smoker will be given him by the Jefferson Club following the speaking.
