Not Down on the Bills.

A French conjurer received an inn mense advertisement at Nantes few days ago. His next trick, he announced at a certain stage of the performance, would be to cut off the head of some one present, and he invited volunteers to come up and submit themselves to the operation. A young man who was known to have quarreled recently with his fancee presented himself with the resolution of despair, and everything was ready for his decapitation, when the lady, who was also present, broke into piercing screams, rushed onto the platform, seized her intended by the arms and dragged him from the hall The sensat ton caused among the audi ence is described as thrilling.

LIVES IN PERIL.
Narrow Escape From the
Cambrian Chieftain.
The Wife of Captain Thomas Writes
Graphically of Her Rescue
in Midocean.

A few weeks ago 1t was mentt0ned In IHE
CALL that the British bark Dee had arrived at
Valparaiso having Oh board Mrs. Thomas. the
captains wife, and her two children and eleven
OF the crew OF the British ship Cambrlan
Chieftain, which had been partially dismasted
in the South Pacific. thrown OIL her beam ends
by her cargo shifting and abandoned by those
who were picked up.
Captain Thomas and his wife are very we'll
known In this port as they had been here
number OF times when the captain was In COM
vessels. notably the big iron ship PalErave. one
OF the largest sailing vessels that ever entered
the port. Captain Thomas was In command Of
the Palgrave when she was dismasted In 1885,
on which Occ aston he brought the vessel into
port under circu instances OF great difficulty in
a manner which reflected most creditably upon
his capacity.
Late aavices received from Liverpool state
that 20 guineas per cent was being paid for re.
insurance on the Cambrian Chiefta IN, and al
though this would seem to indicate that the In.
surers have about given her up yet Captain
Thomas friends here are still hopeful that ne
Is in tho land OF the living. and that either he
has been picked up by some passing ship or
will succeed in bringing bis vessel safely into
port
aster to the Cambrian Chieftan was received
yesterday In a private letter from Mrs. Captain
Thomas from Valparaiso. In IL she SAYS:

came another poser.

"Ob. yes"
well, now, take this letter of February
o. 1890. VIII you say that tho hand
which wrote that letter also wrote the Sec
ond will?"
The expert looked at it for some little
time. Finally he said:
'1'm not prepared At present to answer"
"Well. that's all right. You shall have
time. How long do you require 2?
II shall require several hours"
Several hours" repeated Johns on.
"You testified yesterday that the letter
of October 8, 1892. addressed Dear Belle.

tho disputed document. How long an ex-
animation did you haveP
Schmidt hesisated and then said:
"Twen ty minutes"
"Oh," was the retort. 1T took you twen-
ty minutes to gather evidence for the
other side. but you require several hours
now when call upon you"
However, the question was passed for
the present, and it was agreed that the
witness should have private examina ton
of the two papers at a convenient hour
this morning and state the result from the
witness-stand on Monday next.
Then Schmidt was shown the relocation

lures of C. H. Watt, John Melton and

ask. Producing the oftreferred-to reloca-
ton paper he inquired concerning the
signatures thereto. Was the Henry Mar
tin signature genuine or not?
Again tho experts testimony din sred
from all that had goue before. The witness
replied that in his opinion Martin wrote
his own signature. He further testified that
the signatur Of John Melton aud Z. d.
Watt were also written by tho Same manu.
This answer created some surprise.
johnson was about to hand up cnecK
to the witness for examination when 1t was
abruptedly demanded for inspection by
Arthur Rodgers. His request was COM
piled with. bnt johnson, whose humor grew
worse with his cold. asked OF Maxwell the
rather abrupt question, Are there any
signals agreed upon by you with any ono
present as to how you shall testify when
papers are handed TO you?"
NO." was the simple reply.
Then came rather curious bit OF testi-
mony. Tine oft-recurring John" letter OF

duced ana passed up for examination.
Maxwell took 1t. looked at 1t TOR some
moments and said that In his opinion 1t
had not been written by Henry Martin.
How do you know?" asked johnson.
"Do you wish mo to speak my ob1ec-
tions?" asked the witness.
Il DO"
"Well, you see," said Maxwell. "there
is the general character of the writing.
and"
Il would prefer that you state each and
every reason you have for giving such an
opinion" was Johnson's tart remark.
Thus adjured Maxwell took up power

cd that when all was over he take trip
with me to Los Angeles. But he would
not hear Of TT
did he ever speak to you about tho
disposition Of his property ?" asked
This question met with . vigorous OBJ
lection. which was overruled by Judge
Cofey. and the witness replied that he
mad had such conversation. Martin had
told him that both be and ''May"-his
wife-had made wills In each others
favor. and they were to carry out each
others wishes. Already Martin had be-
gun to speak Of certain relatives OF his
wife whom he meant to help out of the
private fortune she would leave behind
her.
when did Martin first take sick?"
MI. Breed said that on February %. 1893.
the day the second will purports to have
been written. Martin took sick. He went
to bed. but rose for breakfast the next
day; not feeling we'll. however. toward
noon he went to bed again. He never
arose from his bed, but died on February
q.
The witness said that Martin and his
wife were married in Los Angeles on
April IA. 1890. Martin often talked about
bis wife's separate estate. which she de-
rived from her husband, Samuel More.
His feelings toward his wife were OF the
tenderest description. 10 fact. said the
witness. lit broke his heart 10 enter the
room where his wife lay. Yet he wouldn't
60 to bed. as he wanted to be close BY so
that II his wife should call to him during
the night he could hear her and run to her
side"
Mr.. Breed said that prior to Henry Mar
tins death they travelled across the bay
two or three days together. He knew
Martins handwriting well. having been In
the constant receipt Of letters from him.
He bad carefully examined the so-calied
second will and could safely say that 1t
had never at any time been written by
Henry Martin.
Poor Mrs. Martin looked profoundly dis
tressed the while her brother-in-law was
telling of the last days of her husband
spent on earth. Often she had the great
est difficulty to conceal her emotion and
her handkerchief went to her eyes from
time to time. She was comforted. how
ever. by the presence of her ever.sympa-
thetic friends.

THE GYPSY BLYTHES.

In the Famous Case.

Even though practically decided the Blythe
estate contest seems to be a. productive Of
sensations, big and little. and Of ali shades, as
1t was In It's paimiest days before any decision
had been arrived at.

Henry Martin appended thereto. The
expert, after brief examination. decided
that Martins signature was not genuine.
He said two Of the signatures were traced
by the same hand, but it was not that Of
Martin. Breckenfed, on the contrary.
had pronounced the signature Of Henry
Martin genuine.
In CONCLUSION tho witness was asked a
lot of questions regarding the effects OF

sleep, cramped position when writing.

made some difference. He was further
asked concerning his compensation.

with this case. He had examined both
wills. and after comparison with speci-
mems OF Henry Martins admitted hand
writing was prepared to say that the So
called second will was forgery.

Grove johnson asked tho witness the
question. "Are you an expert?"
Mr.. Maxwell was not quite sure upon
this point.

testimony upon the ground that no does not

The motion was denied.
Then Grove johnson sought to discover
whether or not Mr.. Maxwell knew tina,
the so-calied forged will was written four
days before the testator's death. The
witness replied that he was aware that 1t
bore the date of February %, 1893. where
upon tho cross.examiner asked him if he
| had compared it with admitted writings OF
Henry Martin that bore pretty much the
aame date. The witness was fain to ad-
