A Tlll NDERllOLT.
Wasiiinui'on Feb. 15. In the stur-roule
trial after cross-examination of the post
master of llismarck I'.eerdoll rose und in
a clear voice Bald; "If the court pkvae vl
desire to make a stutetuent in my own be-
half." A prolouud silence prevailed (or a
moment. The court looked surprised but
counsel lor defense seemed to bo prepared
for the blow about to follow. The court
finally said: "You can muke it."
lteerdcll then proceeded to read rapidly
the following statement;
"ll the court plciuc 1 desire to make 11
statement in person and in my own behalf.
Alter muturu rellocliou mid consideration
of the whole subject I have determined to
abundon any further dulcnso in this cuse

any ot the deleudiiuts uithcr against or for
them mysell included. Therelore 1 now

"not-guilty" heretofore interposed and
enter my plea ol "guilty" and 111 so doing
put myself upou the mercy

to be my duty. 1 owe it to myself and my
family and to the truth. I huve arrived at
this fixed determination upou my own
rellections Bnd responsibility and without
any previous consultation with my counsel
who i believe would uot hovoadviacd to this
course and whom i now relieve from all
and any responsibility for tho course I
have adopted."
"Well ou my part there is no obiection."
said Ingersoll abruptly
"Tnis is somewhut unexpected I pre-
sume" suid Wilbhiere (lleerdell's counsel);
"but lleerdell has exercised the right that
belongs to himself ; therefore nothing is
left lor mo to do but to witiulruw from the
case or at least from further participation
in uie case'
The court "The defendant who lias-just
spoken desires to withdraw the plea 01 'not
guilty' and enter the plea ol 'guilty.' The
clerk will moke the entry."
John Walsh ' was thou called to the
stand.

the season fur maturing is given very gen-
erally as an important factor. Increased
production and growth was so vigorous
in portions of area cultivated that muoh
immature cotton was destroyed by fros'.
Notwithstanding the lateness of the season
aa a whole it was unusua'ly iavnrabte. The
returns are nearly nnanimous i1 declaring
the staple longer'thanntmal whiter and free
from trash. A few reports shorten the staple.
About 17 percent of the crop still remains
in the farmers' hands. The injury by cater-
pillar was everywhere slight with lew excep-
tions. The lose is calculated at about 3 per
cent in Louisiana 2 iu Texas 1) in Missis-
sippi Alabama and Florida and 1 in
