/ /A day or two since a lady in the
4ity while passing from the dining
room to the kitchen brushed by a
chair on which some clothes were
carelessly thrown, and she noticed
it fail over. As she was passing
back to the dining room she beard
a noise as of a chair moving, and
was surprised to see the chair com-
ing up again. After steadying
itself us it were, upon its feet, the
chair again inclined to the side and
fell down. The lady does not be-
lieve in Spiritualism or spirit mani-
festations of any kind, and is puzzled
to understand it. Perhaps some of

plain this singular phenomenon.

Dear Sir.*—On Saturday last I
sent to the editorof the • Denison
Herald two statements, one correct-
ing an error in a former statement
the other affirming that after further
examination into the matter concern-
ing the charges against Mr. Haney,
I had no reason to change my opin-
ion as to his innocence, but still
believe him entirely guiltless of any
crime in the matter. Both of these
statements were taken by Mr. Ball,
as I was unwilling to make the first
unless the second should appear in
the same issue of the Herald, as I
feared if the first alone was publish-
ed it might be construed as an evi-
dence that my confidence in Mr.
Haney’s innocence was shaken.
For some reason unknown to me
the first communication was pub-
lished and the second omitted. I
write this to vindicate myself before
the people ot Denison, and at the
same time to do justice to one whom
I believe has been greatly wronged.
After the fullest investigation into
the allegations against Mr. Haney,
I find nothing inconsistent with the
character of a gentleman and a cler-
gyman, and am confident in my con-
viction that he is entirely innocent

came to trial Tuesday in the county
court at Sherman. McLane, Cook

for the defense. Messrs. Cockrell

The case will probably be given to

verdict of murder in the first degree
will be returned. Judge Ilare will
