The accusations against Mr. Crawford are, in brief, that in 1885 he bought the Midland railroad of Indiana for $40,000 at a forclosure sale, and within a short time thereafter originated a scheme for floating bonds for $10,000,000 upon a road, the value of whoso rolling stock, right of way and all other assets did not exceed $175,000. Fraud of a bold and ingenious kind is charged ugainst him, and of the $10,000,000 issue of bonds, $260,000 are known to have boon obtained, with a prospect that this is only a part of the sum fraudulently realized.

The court room was literally jammed full of eager humanity, and thousands outside of the court room clamored for admittance in vain. Clan-na- Gael men were excluded. A large part of the audience was of the feminine persuasion. Portland, Me., Dec. 14.—A tale of shipwreck in the southern seas, of savage islanders and the romance of a modern Robinson Crusoe, is what Capt. William Gooding tells. He was the commander of tho Portland bark Tewksbury Sweet, lost in tho South Pacific last spring, and has just arrived in this city on his way to his home at Yarmouth. He and his crew had boen given up for dead, and the first intelligence that they were still alive waa received about two weeks  Their escape from death by the wreck and from the savages makes an interesting story.

The state's attorney told of the route taken by the wagon, the story of tho trunk and of the theory of the defense that the doctor had died of apoplexy. "Look at these cut clothes and the blood in the trunk; remember all you have hoard, and say if you think that the doctor died of apoplexy. One of the arguments of the defense," Mr. Longenecker continued, "was that tho books of Camp 20 did not show the appropriation of money, and as the conspiracy could not have been carried on without money no conspiracy, so far as Camp 20 was concerned, existed. Of course the books did not show an appropriation. There was no money to be appropriated. It was stolen by the mon who are behiud this great conspiracy."

The statement is made just after the opening for the state, or at tho close of the testimony for the *tate, and before the beginning of the testimony on behalf of the defense. This was not done in this caso. From the time this case was opened until the last days, when one of the learned counsel for the defense mado a three days' speech, did you as jurors know what tho theory of the defense was. And when you did hoar it, what was it? Why, that there was a gigantic conspiracy on the part of the stato to hang these defendants. Messrs. Wallace and Hatch represent tho Loan and Investment company, of Now York, which claims to be a victim of Mr. Crawford's railroad flnancering to the extent of $150,000, and is tho first to complain.

Captured by Fierce Savages. The vessel weut to pieces and the crew escaped in one of the ship's boats, and made the Island of Pozeat, which is inhabited by fierce savagos. As the boat approached the island a fleet of canoes put off from the shore. There were about thirty canoes, with eight or ten men in each, and all were armed with knives and spears. Home of the savages in their eagerness jumped overboard pud swam to the boat, each with a long, wicked looking knife held between his teeth. The first savages to reach the boat clambered in until the boat was nearly swampod. Then they began to strip the sailors of their coats and outer garments, throwing the garments aboard their own canoes. The men were soon despoiled of everything but their undershirts. They represented to the court that Crawford had obtained the money from the Loan and Trust company by false pretenses and fraudulent representations, the road being in a rotten and demoralized condition, and that to substantiate their charges they must secure possession of the Midland company's books. This could be done only by an ex parte order for their seizure, because it was feared that if the defendants woro notified they would destroy or secrete the books. A number of other narrow escapes aro reported.

State's Attorney Longnecker declares that he is positive of a conviction. Persons calling for the above letters will please say "advertised." S. B. Bennett, P. M, "And the attorney for the defense thought so much of this line of argument for his clients that he used it as a thread through his whole speech. He charged mo, your state's attorney, and the people of this great state with conspiring to murder; to hang innocent men. Do you believe it? Do you believe that I would consent to trump up charges against these men, to lead them to the gallows, knowing they wore false charges? Why, if I should do that I ought to l*e dragged out by the citizens and hanged to a lamp post, without court or jury. The State Vigorously Defends Itself. The Judge's Fair Charge. "Gentlemen, you are not here to acquit guilty men nor to convict innocent men. But any sane man must, by carefully weighing the evidence of this trial, believe these five men guilty." Judge Gresham decided that notice must be given to Henry the lawyer and president of the road, beforo any order could be made. Mr. Crawford was found to bo out of Chicago. As a cousequonce nothing was accomplished but the reading of the bill of 100 pages of affidavits by experts and others corroborating the charges. Tlie Gns Works Strike.

The strikers' places were filled by 1,200 green hands, who entered the works escorted by a detail of police. With the exception of the utterauco of groans by the old hands as the new men marched by, there were no hostile- demonstrations. The strikers had pickets out with a view to intercepting the new mon and prevailing upon them to remain away from the works, but they were unable to accomplish their purpose.

Beaver The state's attorney then sat down, and tho trial of the great case was ended. Judge McConnell immediately began the reading of his charge to the jury. If the jurors found tho defendants guilty, any or all of them were to be punished by death, imprisonment for life or for any term of years not less than fourteen. Tho charge was very elaborate and fair to both sides. Tho prisoners listened to its reading with intense interest. At the conclusion of tho charge tho exhibits that had been introduced in evidence woro given to the jury. Five bailiffs were sworn to take tho jurymen to tho grand jury room, there to keep them without meat or drink, except water, until a verdict was rendered. Charles J.

It is charged that Crawford and the other officors are misapplying and misappropriating the funds derived from the road's operation. Of the money loaned by the investment company less than $75,000 is said to have been used in the discharge of the company's legal claims, and $05,000 is alleged to have gone into the pockets of the otilcers. The investment company cannot foreclose for as no instalment of interest is yet due, and it represents that if a receiver is not at once appointed and Crawford enjoined from issuing more bonds and from doing anything at all, the value of the road will be ruined by the mismanagement, misapplication of funds, waste, and removal and secretion of assets. The genoral term of the supremo court has reversed the decision of Judge Andrews in the matter of the electric light injunction. This decision dissolves the injunction obtained preventing New 'York city from taking down the wires. The work can now go on of removing the overhead wires. Cno.
