there appeared on the white screen a
strange figure-a cloud or blotch of black
| ness.
Samuel Mayer then testified that at
the request of Miss Britton he had planned
one side of each of the two bars till n
smooth surface had been obtained 4
portion of this surface on each bar had
been etched with acid, and from this
etching had been obtained nature-print-
| ed copies or prints in ink. This we'll
known method of etching gave prints
| showing the disposition of the particles
Of the metal, and also its quality. These
/ etchings, and a number of others taken
| from other bars and rods made by the
| different iron-makers of the country, had
been photographed for lantern projec-
lions, and with the permission of the
court, some of these would be submitted
to the jury. The projection now on the
screen was from the bar purchased by
Glider and stolen by the tramp.
Every eye was fixed on the singular
| picture on the screen, and a murmur of
applause filled the room. Suddenly the
picture was removed and another put in
| its place. 1t did not require much at
tention to show that this represented an
| entirely different sort of metal.
This, gentlemen" said the young
man, us a nature-prInted etching from
the iron bar found under the car. have
compared these two etchings with a
number of others obtained IN the same
way, from bars made by all the iron men
in the country, and find this one COM

side this"
At once another picture sprang up be
side the one on the screen. The two
were alike.
Another witness took the stand-the
president of the Moorlow Iron company
He testified to the facts of the expert
ments and to the results that had been
obtained.
Another witness was called-the buyer
of the railroad company. He said that
the company had never used any of
the Moorlow cOmpany's iron. The bar
Glider brought had been obtained of
Ross, Duncan Il Co, of Pittsburg, from
whom the railroad bought all its tools.
Another etching was projected, then
another. The two were exactly alike.

er, lis Ross IL Duncan's iron. That on
the left is the etching shown first, and
obtained from the bar purchased by Gil

The Judge raped smartly on his desk
This applause could not be permitted
again. The daylight was reaImittcd,
and the pictures faded away. Photo
graphs of the etehings were handed to
the jurors, and the various samples of
iron from which the etchings had been
obtained were exhibited
Samson Glider sat with his face avert
ed. How could he deserve such love :?
1t was too divine gift. Why had he
not known of the mastery of the mind
and will that could accomplish such re-
suits, and all for him? He did not de
serve such Il great blessing.
Some one else was testifying. A farm
er living at Barstow had passed man
on the road, just before the accident, who
muttered to himself.
"I'll have my revenge, whoever may
suffer"
Abraham Samuels testified that he had

wreck, and had found coat much torn,
! probably belonging to a passenger. In the
coat was part of threatening letter adj

"He was killed in the wreck" said
| Mary Britton, eagerly.
"Silencel Let the witness proceed"
This letter threatened John Morley
with death for some past injury, and
"arueu oi some Impending ulsdsler II
was signed Fired Smythe''
There was Il sudden movement at the
end of the court, and every one turned to
see what it meant. 4 man was pushing
roughly out of the seats, as if eager to
