REALISTAC FEATURES.
A Murdercr's Counsel Presents Some
startling Ar yuments.

CAMDEN, N. j., March 10. Especial Tee-
gram to THE BEE l-ExJudgc Westcott
counsel for Lingo, on tsfal for the murder of
Mrs. NJ iler with his teeth and a razor, has
been in trodu cling realistic features in court,
The first instance OF Mr.. Westcott's earn est
ness in behalf Of his csiontwas when several
days ago, iuiing tho'akfigCf Cf testimony, he
compelled Lingo TO bite his hand to prove
that the wounds on Mrs. Millers hand
could not have been inflicted by
the teeth Of the accused man.
Today, shortly before the close of his argu-
ments, he took the razor with which the state
alleges Lingo cut Mrs Miller's throat and
after declaring q that II the wounds had been
made with it, the razor would have been
dulled, he thereupon set to prove that it was
sharp and drew it across the back of his
hand making a deep cut. After cutting
himself MIR. Westcon as ked Lingo to bind
up the wound. Mr. Westcotts practical
manner of supporting his argument drew
forth a warning from Judge Garrison to
avoid such recklessness. The prosecu tion
has begun its final argument.

NAILS AND SPIKES.
How to Draw Them After They Have
Become Embedded In Trees.

How to Draw Them After They Have
Become Embedded in Trees.
When nail or spike has been driven
into live tree or into timber, after a
year or more the fibers of the wood
will have contracted SO tightly about
the metal that it will be exceedingly
difficult TO withdraw the iron. But
strike nail or spike a sharp blow
with hammer and drive it in trifie
so as to break the wood fbers around
the metal, and it can be withdrawn
with only little force. Iron gate
hinges are frequently driven into liv-
ing tree. When one is not in possession
of large and strong clawbar, bore a
hole close to the hinge on the undo
side and the hinge can be easily crowd
ed down into the hole and withdrawn,
When large nail has been driven head
and all beyond the surface of the tim
Der, bore hole close to the nail, and
with nail-set crowd the nail into the
hole. When nails have become rusty
they will usually break in two, leaving
a portion of the iron in the timber. But
strike a rusty nail sharp blow and
one can sometimes withdraw it with
his fingers. In tearing down an OLD
building if it is desirable TO take of
the boards or castings without splitting
them place a nail-set on the head OF
each nail and with a hammer start il
inward about an eighth of an inch.
One blow will break the hold CT the
nails so that most of them will come
out when the boards are driven off. -

Well, everybody knows what mothers

knew all about the note | had written

into by it.
| She stood staring at me a minute and
then said there was nothing for me to
do but to take the children home and
take care of them myself. She said it

to explain the matter to Mr.. Patten
