. BURR FOUND THE ASSASSIN.
hmiH Lawyer On Cleared nil Cli
ent ! Mnrder.
"I wan particularly Interested," entd
an old Washington lawyer the other
(lay, speaking of the Manhattan well
erlme, "In tho paragraph that denerlb-r-d
Aaron Purr's dramatic net In hold
ing a pair of lighted candles In the
face of a speetator In tho courtroom
and shouting, 'Usnttomen, here In the
real murderer.' 1 do not question this,
but I remember that Jere Clemens,
once a famous Pnlted Btntcs senator
from Alnbamn, told of a trial In which
Iltirr appeared fur tho defense of a
man charged with murder. My recol
lection la that tho trlnl wai In the
southwest. When llurr addressed the
Jury It was night. Tho guilty man
waa In the room. Me had been tho
principal witness for the pretention,
but llurr had learned that this witness
wan the nssansln, and lit closing his
address for IiIb client he picked up two
lighted enndles from the table and
holding them In tho faee of tho wit
ness referred to, he exclaimed: 'Gen
tlemen of tho Jury, there la nature's
Verdict. Now wrlto yours.' At that
moment tho wltneos fled from the
room. After Clemens told this story
ho wrote nn historical novel called
'The Rivals; or, Tho Times of Hamil
ton and IIiiit.' In thut book ho wove
be Incident Into one of the chapters.
The book In out of print and has been
for many years. Hut It had a great
sale, particularly In tho south, before
tho civil war, for Clemens was a typi
cal southern orntor, ond a man of
wonderful personal magnetism. Tho
object of tho novel wna to muke Durr
a hero, and to besmirch Hamilton's
character. In ono chapter where IJurr
was high In tho esteem of Wanhlngtun,
the hitter Is represented ns rending a
letter from Hamilton In which Hamil
ton detailed some scandalous gossip
about Burr, llurr was standing behind
Washington dining tho reeding of tho
letter. Wnnhlngtnn Incensed at the
contents of tho letter, turned quickly
nnd saw liner, to whom ho said: 'How
darn you rend my letter over my
shoulder?' Purr, ns Clemens repre
sent:!, stung to tho qnlclt, drew him
self up and replied with all the haut
eur of bin nature: 'When your majes
ty addresses such an Inquiry to me In
tho mnnner you have, tho only reply
dceeny can prompt Is, Aaron llurr
dares to do anything. ' This, Clemens
rivers, wns the cause of tho break be

Mysterious Alee ef Water foand In
the Cordilleras,
From Cruecro Alto, tho highest town
In the world, the Houthein railroad of
1'eru drops Into Lnko I.agtinlllns, or
Inko region of the Cordilleras, where,
group of large hikes of very cold
pure water without Inlet
says the Ilonton Journal,
eelve the il in Ins go of the
lug hills, nnd conceal
where, but there Is no vlslb'o means of
Its escape. A fringe of Ice forms
around tho edges of tho lakes every
night tho year round, yet they contain
an excellent variety of flslt called tho
pejerray, which Is caught nar tho
shoro nnd sold at fuma and In other
neighboring towns. The two largest
lakes, Pnrnrliochn and Oachlpaseana,
with several smaller ones In the same
neighborhood, aro owned by tho family
of Mr. It'imnnln of Arwiulpa, who has
Just been elected president of Peru.
He owns Immense tracts of bind In
this locality, with thuuannda of sheep,
cattle, lamas, alpacas uud vicunas,
which aro herded upon It. A curious
phenomenon about tho lakes Is that
they keep at tho samo level all the
time, regardless ef diy and rainy sea
sons. No amount of rain will make
any difference with their depth, whie,
however, In tho eetiter Is unknown.
And this adds to the nwo and mystery
with which they aro regirded by tho
Indians. There aro no boats upon the
lakes except n few small balsas, or
rafls, mndo of bundles of slrnw, which
keep very closo to tho shoro for fear
of being drawn Into tho whirlpools
that aro said to exist In tho center.
Thero Is sonio foundation for this foar,
for only two or threo years ngo a
balsa containing flvo men disappeared
In tho dni kncna.and It w.is never heard
tif again. Of course. It may have been
tipped over and Its occupants havo
been pnrnlycd by tho cold water In
nn ordlnnry wny, but their bodies were
never recovered, nor did tho balsa
tver float to shore. Therefore tho peo
ple think tho wholo parly was lured
Into a mnelKtroin and swallowed up
by tho m.VG pvhnm waters. Tho whirl
pool tieiir tho crntcr of Lake 1'opo,
which receives tho waters of I.nko
Tltleaca, Is well knnwu, nnd hundreds
of men havo lost thulr lives by ven
turing too near It. lloats Mat are

gators tho government of llollvla bus
anchored a lot of buoys In Lnko I'opo,
nnd boatmen who observe them aro In
no (1 linger. Thero Is supposed to bo
nn underground outflow from all these
lakes. It Is claimed that articles which
huvo been thrown Into their waters
have uftnrwarda been picked up on tho
uetieonut near Africa, and careful ob
servers say that on tho boaeh In that
locality are frequently found corn
stalks, reeds and other debris which
do not grow on tho const, but are found
in great abundance among tho Interior
lakes.
