By a strange coincidence any waverings that His
unbelieving newspapera of New York might have
I generated in Luther ti. Marsh's mind by their calm,
collected and doubting notices of his c -llectlon of

poison of th* press by malling this promise yesterday

' About a ye?r ago, for Instance, there was an

of the more credulous people who wero preeent at that

DID LINCOLN TALK TnE BOOMS DIALECT!
To th* Editor of tke Tribune.
6lr: In tbe last instalment of " The Graysons," In the
current number of "Thc Century," Dr. Eggleston Intro?
duces Abraham Lincoln as a young country lawyer.
He drops Into the story unaccompanied by any prestige
of after distinction, riding up to the country tavern
astride a country iteed and wotl-worn saddle-bags, and
greets the tavern-keeper with:
'? Howdy, Cap'en Biggs."
? Howdy, Abe," ls tbe response.
Lincoln, conversing In tho Hooslor dialect uf Matt
ern Illinois, will eavor of novelty to many readers,
it ls a phase that has not been touched on by Culm cl
John Hay or Mr. Nicolay, In th Mr history of hH lfe,
whloh appears In the same magazine. Th- probability
of Hs truth ls sufficient to warrant the license taken by
the* author of the "Hoosier tsehooima. ei." Lincoln
came from the poorest families of that section of tho
country lu which " Howdy" ami kindred phrases are
still UM friendly sad familia.- vernacular of many
whose opportunities for education and inlture are
greater than his ever were. I.ut the tu-gestion ls cur
ion-, and it would be interesting to learn from his biog?
raphers, who knew so intlm'it.ly Ihe Lincoln of hls
lory, whether the Hoosier dialect clung ta h'- tongue
In familiar momenta, as the burr does to those Vtoss
early horne and associations wero In Scotland. F.

A daughter testifying against her JHther, who
is on trial for his life, and telling the story of
her sister's death at the hand* of the father was
the strange scene presented in the Court of Gen
? -rar%?gs-iii*ns yesterday before Recorder Smyth.
Francis W. Pitman, the prisoner, is middle-aged,
?ml presents an appearance of honesty and re?
spectability. He is well dresaed in black broad
? I'tii. His hair is carefully parted and hangs in
sleek mat** low on his neck. His chin beard
is neatly trimmed. A stranger would take him
for a mechanic of the better olass. His mouth
has, however, curves that indicate fl raine, that
might easily become cruelty, and bis eyes have
a wandering look, indicating the excitability
whnb the defence will try to prove is the result
of nmnta) unsoundness.
Sarah, or " Sadie," Pitman, who was tbe flrst
witness called by Assistant District-Attorney
Fitzgerald after his associate, Mr. Doa Passes, had
made the opening address to the jury, ls a brown
e.V'd and hrown-haircd girl of seventeen years
She gave her testimony clearly and simply. She
pnswered all the questions promptly and showed
little emotion in relating the story of her sister's
death. She said that her sister Rachel, who
was two j-ears older than herself, wa* away from
home from ..July 23 to August i. Her father
continually urged the witness to ask Rachel to
come home, but Rachel refused, though the wit?
ness did not tell her father of the refusal
TFI.I.ING THE STORY OF TIIE CRIME.
As to the occurrences of the evening of August
4 at the home of the family, No. 88 Jackson-st.,
thc witness said:
I wat sewing on i drese ibout half pest 7 O'clock. My j
father asked whom lt was for. I said lt wa* for Rachel.
He said: ? When will the come to try lt eat* I eeld: j
" Perhaps thi* evening." Then he went out to the pietra
and smoked bit pipe. Rachel cam* lu while he wae
smoking there. Mr. Lewis came In with her. Then my
father came Into the room ind asked her whether ihe wm
going to stay at home. She said that the did not know.
Rachel ind I went into the other room to try on her dree*.
?I took oft her dre** ind wi* putting on her eorteta

"ions of th*- actors in the tragedy und e.f the wit
l marked the positions on a diagram
wlii'h had been prepared under the direction of
the Distrid Attornev. The witness i'lustrated
the manner in which the blows were struck.
T. C. E. Eeelesine, the lawyer for Pitman,
cross-examined the witness. Her answers to many
of the inquiries were favorable to the defence.
She said thut the compass*-** had been abont the
house for years. Her father used the instrument
to clean out his pine after smoking. Her father
was fond of his daughter Rachel, wbo was his
favorite child. He had objected seriously to her
going nut with T>*wis. He lind henrd that, Lewis
mure-il. Rachel was saucy and impudent
to lier lather.
After Rachel left home her father senreely slept
or ute. He walked the floor almost constantly.
He told tin witnee. to say to her sister that If she
wonk! come home she could have anvthina- she
wonted. Several questions were asked of the

Franklin Lewis, the young mun whose a<v
qufiinti-neeship with Rachel caused her father's
sure, was MH-d to the witness-stand. His
testimnny as to the occurrences nf Au trust 4 cor?
roborated tlie statements of "Sadie" Pitman.
His manner, especially on cross-examinntion. mails
an unfavorable impression. He reoeated almost
every question that was put to him, and then
hesitated before answering. His appearance is
unattractive, ns he is pale, thin, and has a dis?
figuring s.are on his right cheek. He said that

He took her t?i Manhattan l>nch. Fort, Let,
