The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1880-09-28


the request of Miss Britton he had
planed one side of each of the two bars
till smooth surface had been obtained.
A portion of this surface ON each bar
had then been etched with acid, and
from this etching had been obtained
nature printed copies of prints in ink.
This well-known method of etching
gave prints showing the disposition Of
the particles of the metal and also its
quality. These etchings and number
of others taken from other bars and
rods made by the different iron makers
of the country, had been photographed
for lantern projections, and, with the
permission of the court, some of these
would be exhibited 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 murmur of
applause filled the room. Suddenly the
picture was removed and another put in
its place. 1t did not require much atten-
tion to show that this represented an
entirely different sort of metal.
"This, gentlemen" said the young
man, sis nature printed etching from
the iron bar found under the car. L
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 cor
responds exactly with the etchings of
the Moorlow Iron Company's metal.
My assistant will place sample of the
company's iron beside this.''
At once, another picture sprang up
beside the one on the screen. The two
were alike.
Another witness took the stand-the
president of the Moorlow Iron Com
pany. He testified to the facts of the
experiments and to the results that had
been obtained.
Another witness was called-the buy
er of the railroad company. He testified
that the company had never used the
Moorlow Company's iron. The bar
Glider bought had been obtained of Ross,
Duncan & Co., of Pittsburgh, from
whom the railroad bought all its tools.
Another etching was projected, then
another. The two were exactly alike.
"The picture on the right" said
Mayer, sis Ross & Duncan's iron. That
on the left is the etching shown first,
and obtained from the bar purchased by
Glider"
The judge raped smartly on the desk.
This applause could not be permitted
again. The daylight was readmitted
and the picture faded away. Photo
graphs of the etchings were handed to
the jurors and the various samples of
iron from which the etchings had been
obtained were exhibited.
Samson Glider sat with face averted.
How could he deserve such love? 1t
was too divine gift. Why had he not
known of the mastery of mind and will
that could accomplish such results, and
all for him? He did not deserve so
great blessing.
Some one else was testifying. A
farmer living at Barstow had passed
man on the road, just before the acci-
dent, who muttered to himself
"I'll have my revenge whoever may
suffer-"
Abraham Samuels testified that he had
bought the old junk and refuse from the
wreck, and had found coat much torn,
probably belonging to passenger. In
the coat was part of a threatening
letter addressed to John Morley"
"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
warned of impending disaster. 1t was
signed FIRED Smythe."
There was sudden movement at the
end of the court, and every one turned
to see what it meant. A man was push
ing roughly out of the seats, as if
eager to escape.
"By sixtyl" said the farmer from
Barstow, 'that is the feller saw jest
afore the smash"
1t was remarkable case,n said the
| judge to his colleague, after the trial.
1.-The woman must have been q person
| of extraordinary mind to have planned
the scheme, and to have won all those
scientific people over to her side. l
understand she had no money, and
could pay them nothing. Women will
