"Do you personally know DR.. Treadwell, OF Bos-
ton?"
ler to which Mr.. Watrous replied that it was well to
know whether this ''star of the East produced by
the State was known to witness and to the scientific
world. Mr.. Waller urged that there shoulr be no
question of personal acquaintance or antagontsm,
but only differences on scientific questions The
question was admitted and DIR. woodward re-
plied:--
II know nothing about DR.. Treadwell, and have
published reports OF his observations other
than newspaper reports of this trial; It may nave
been my misfortune not to have seen what he has
published; in the scientific world we do not regard
men as scientists until they have published their
observations stenographc report OF his evidence
in this trial was sent to me at Washington"
O. What do you think of his testimony? A. In my
remarks to-day have criticised and covered every
scientific point wherein think he is wrong do not
care to crticse any other than his scienthc knowl-
edge.

Don't you think these photographs of corpuscles
good and indicating careful work.?
"well. they good enough. but probably chance
results The Others are nothing near as good.
The witness exhanstivey questioned as to tho
processes of photographing corpuscles, Mr. Waller
making very brilliant and accurate examination on
the lntricaces OF this work. He dwet at length
upon whether or not in photograph or
circle OF hfty corpuscles, for instance. those
the outside of the circle would, by the common
law OF optics. be photographed lager than those in

fact in his own photographs. whereupon Mr.. Waller,
taking called his attention to the fact that the

Mr.. Waller next tried to draw from the witness an
admission that Treadwell righuully criticised him
in stating that his measurements OF corpuscles were
incorrect because Of his error OF measuring on the

THE WEEKS RESULTS.
To-day closes the eleventh week Of the trial. Its
testimony has been curious mixture, inermngling ng
that of scientists with that hardfsted tlers OF
the soil practical men. as the lawyers know
them. in contrast with the men of learning The de-
fence has made effective progress. The scientists
have said that the ovarian tumor with which Mary
Stsnnard afflicted could not have led her to
think, from its symptoms that she was pregnant.
Hence it goes to show that Hayden could not have
been prompted to do the deed, II he did 1t
at ALL by knowledge Of her condition and any fear
that the girl would make trouble for him. Other
scientists claimed that the blood found the
corpse was less than should have been found il the
girl killed where the corpse lay This supports
the defence's claim that the killing done else.
where. practical men" who experts In wood
piling testified that Haydens statement that it took
him over an hour to pile the wood in his wood lot
the afternoon of the murder this accounted for
his time) was reasonable one. More scientists have
said that Identifying blood by its corpusces is un
certain work. and lastly the accused has told part
OF his story, ana with good effect.
