ST. Louis, May 24.-The prosecution in
the famous Brooks Preler case uncovered
an ambush on the defense, 1t was like the

F. Mccullough, detective employed by
the Gould system secret service, testified
that by an arrangement of Mr.. Mcdonald,
OF the prosecution, a sham case of for
gerry was got up and he was sent to jail un-
der the name of Frank Dingfelder, the
forger He was in Jail forty seven days,
and while there he became con
tidante of Brooks, who told him all the
details of the murder of I'reller He thought
witness belonged to a notorious gang of
forgers, and together they fixed up plan
to run some bogus testimony in at the trial
of Brooks for his beINfit Brooks said he
could beat the State if he could only get a
witness who would swear lthat he had 500
or $500 when he left Boston. Mccullough
thought that this could,be fixed, and agreed
to get one of the gang of forgers to do the
job. The result was thpt Brooks unbosom
ed himself and told the detective every
thing. Among other things, he said
that he was almost broke

THE COCAINE HABIT.


ElMIRA, n. V, May 25.-Guests of the
Dclcyan House were aroused at an early
hour this morning by unearthly screech-
lngS that came from one of the central
rooms. Patrolman Getchell, who was
called i'll, forced open the door and discov
cred man and woman tearing the beds
TO pieces, overturning furniture and be
having in a frantic manner. "You are the
man who climbed up the rope to my win
dow shouted the woman, pointing her
finger at officer Getchell There were two
beds IN the room, the couple having regis
tered the night before as father and daugh-
Ter A search of the room revealed a
quantity of cocaine and a hvpodermic
syringe. DR.. Stagg, who had been sum
moned, arrived, Then it was learned that
the man was A. S, Hazen, well-known
physician of Sharpsville, Pa About a
year ago he began to experiment on him
self by taking hypodermic injections of
| cocaine, and soon he became victim to
the habit, taking sometimes as much as
forty grains per day. Experimenting with
his daughter also, he has made of her as
great slave to the habit as himself The
pair were removed to the hospital their
supply of cocaine was taken from them
and diluted and decreasing doses were
gwen to them The man represented the
appearance of one suffering acutely from
delerium tremens. He could not lie still a
moment, constantly shifting his position
He declared that be would commit suicide
| at the first opportunity, His arms are
| covered with the marks of the syringe, and
his face is badly burned or cut in spots,
caused, he says, by explosions while
experimenting with chemicals. The
| daughter appears as old as her father,
| although she says that she is only
nineteen. She is rather tall and exceed
| ingly spare, Five weeks ago she says She
was plump and hearty, and She declares
| that the cocaine has reduced her flesh.
| She seems devotedly attached to her father
| and talks occasionally to him. consoling
| him with the assertion that he has had lots
| of trouble and that he began to take the
| drug to drown sorrow. About 10 O'Clock

cocaine were administered and she
revived, became perfectly rational anC
ate hearty dinner. Ha2en himself haC
continued in about half crazy state on

that he could not proceed on his journey
unless he was given his accustomed dose

calves have been running about in piece
of woods on the farm of II, {. Blakeslee,
near this city, for week or so past F.,
NJ. johnson, hired man on the farm,
heard a great bleating by one of the calves.
Hurrying to the woods from which the
noise came, he discovered that an ehOr-
IN ous eagle had swooped down on the calf
and was trying to carry it away. The size
of the calf made this an impossible task.
but the eagle persisted gamely in its ef-
forts in spite of the presence of the hired
man. The latter ran back to the house
and got a shotgun and, returning, fired
clarge into the eagle, which was still tear
The shot broke one of the eagles wings. and
the bird relnqushed its hold on the cali
and turned on johnson. The cries of the
calf, the report OF the gun, and the shouts
of the hired man brought Others to the
spot, and the great bird was captured
alive after a desperate struggle. Thi,
eagle is one of the largest specimens even
captured, as il measures over nine and q
half feet from tip to tip OF its wings.
