in progress, was SO dark this forenoon.
as TO require the lighting OF the elec-
trio lights to enable the newspaper re-

was close and hot. The proceedings
were begun by a continuation OF
the reading Of articles in the
Alarm newspaper. This special
article read was transcript
OF a speech delivered by the
defendant Parsons, the editor of the
paper, prior to the dedication of the
Board OF Trade. In it, Parsons
speaks OF the ''tramp Nazarene," and
his scourging the traders from the Je-
rusalem temple. The speech advo-
Gated the use OF Winchester rifles as

Trade, with interpellated cries OF ''Give
them dynamite, attributed to the au-
dience.
The lawyers for the state expressed
the view again this morning that they
would rest their case in all likelihood,
to-day.

ing some form OF liquid, which when ig-
| nited by fuse attached to it caused
flame OF fire possibly five feet high
and ignited the grass for q distance OF
five or ten feet in every direction. The
flames continued for about five min
utes. The instrument was supposed
to be prepared for the purpose of
causing a coniagratlon. Four OF these
cans were found and introduced in

body OF Officer Degan. The bombs
contained lead, tin, antimony, iron
and zinc, mainly lead and iron and
zinc. The bombs contained about 50
per cent. OF lead, 2 per cent. OF tin and
