WITH THE JURY.
Murderer WalIace's Fate Hanging
in the Balance.

The second trial of Joseph w. Wallace
for the murder of George H. Rice came to
an end in Department II of the Superior
Court yesterday. During the morning Ses-
sion ex-POlice Judge James LAWYER, J. L.
NJ. Kelly, Matthew Kerr and Patrick Nc
Donnugh were called as witnesses for the
defense, and testified in reference to the
good character of Wallace before the shoot
ing.
The defense rested. and in rebuttal the
prosecution called Mrs. Dora Rice, widow
eff the slain man. and her niece, Ethel Ap-
pei. They both agreed in the story that
when Rice parted from his wife on the after
noon of the shooting he kissed her affection
ately. Mrs. Rice further said that she and
her husband never had any trouble about
one Mrs. Brown or any other woman.
During the afternoon session Assistant
District Attorney Hnke made the opening
argument for the prosecution. EX-Judge
Robert FerTal, who has defended Wallace
from the start without remuneration, made
one of the most thrilling pleas for mercy.
The principal ground OF the defense was
Wallaces story that Rice made motion as
if to draw a weapon before the defendant
shot him. Counsel also laid great stress on
the character of the deceased and the en-
plOyes in his dive" who testified so
strongly for the prosecution.
When arrested two and II half years ago
for the murder, Wallace was n robust man,
IS years of age, with heavy black hair and
mustache. JAIN debility" rheumatism,
s,iatica and perhaps remorse have caused
him to waste away until ne IS only a ghost
of his former sell. He looks over 60 years
old, and his long, thin hair and whiskcrs
are White as snow. Gaunt-eyed. hollow
checked and trembling in every joint, he
appears to have been where his counsel
said-in that place described by Dante as
1.-THE inferno"
Peter F. Dunne, special counsel for the
prosecution, made the closing argument, in
which the circumstances of the killing were
wildly reviewed. Judge Trout delivered
his charge, and at o'clock the jury retired
to deliberate upon Wailaee's fate.
After having been out two hours the jurors
had not agreed and were taken to supper.
At late hour the jurors still disagreed, and
were locked up Tor the night.

POISONOUS BAMBOO.
a L ata1 Dose Frequently Employed to

a atal Dose Frequently Employed to
XIII in Japan and Java.
One of the most famous and fatal poisons
used in Japan and Java is obtained from the
bamboo. The young shoots of the cane,
when they first push through the ground,
are covered with fine, brownish hairs, which,
under the microscope, appear to be bayonet-
Ike spikes of crystals and slick, infinitely
sharp and hollow. Small quantities of these
hairs administered daily in tie food bring
on liberation Of the whole alimentarv canal
Stimulating malignant dysentery. The ac-
ton must be OF mechanical rather than
chemical nature, just as the spores Of the
common puff bail act upon the eyes. The
bamboo crystal is greatly dreaded by all
European residents of Java. A Dutch Off
cal report says that scores Of deaths among
European planters are due to the bamboo
hairs and the jealousy of native women.
who. whenever they take fancy TO a white
man, will either have him or poison him on
bamboo hairs, if it takes months to accom-
plish the job. The infinitesmial hollow
through these hairy crystals is the most re-
markable thing in connection with them,
they being the only known hollow vegetable
or mineral thorns or crystals.

What makes this still more strange is that
melted snow produces the purest and most

their eisterns full OF snow during extremely

much improved in flavor thereby. l have
