BULlE1-PR0OF COAT TESTED.
Inventor Lennsrd Stood Up and
De6ed q Heavy Winchester.
He Hopes TO Do Away with Steel
Plates for War Vessels.

National Guarismen and army officers
were much interested his morning In the
reports o. the successful tests of w. J.
+. Lennard's American bullet-proof
shield which were made In the presence
OF about nifty persons in Atlantic Park,
Ralph avenue and Prospect place. late
yesterday afternoon, and the inventor
received the congratulations Of a large
number OF riends.
The triai was concluded by Leonard
standing Up az a target. with the shield
fastened a ross his breast, while an ex-
pert marksman fired 45-calbre rifle
from a distance of thirty-fve feet.
Before the performance began Len
nard described his invention, and pointed
out It's superiority over the invention OF
Herr Dove OF Germany.
Before L.nnard presented himself as
target several tests were made to
show the power of the weapon. A bullet
from the rife went through an oaken
plank two inches thick and splintered
the back of another. placed one inch
behind II. Then two bullets were fired
went entirely through. and one of the
bullets cut off the head Ct II heavy bolt
which held the plate In place.
Another bullet pierced fourteen pine
plhlhs, each one l1Cn III tnlChHtsS, anu
placed one inch apart. and knocked off
heavy steel plate fastened on behind.
The spectators were amazed at the
force Of the bull tS. and when Mr.. Len
pressed doubts tina. 1t would withstand
the shots.
The shield. as described in yesterr,,
nshss ons Il n MGsa wide a anG
than two Inches thick. 1t looked like
large liver pad. Lennard tied 1t to
the wooden figure OF man. Then the
his rife. and fired. The bullet pene-
trated about three-quarters of an inch;
a second shot went into It an inch and
At another shield with like effect. and
then Lennard exclaimed:
NOW, gentlemen. II you are not salts,
fed ! will put the shield on and stand
I'm never fire at that man." said
Richards. laying his Winchester on a
stand; The marksman was visihly ner-
vous. but Lennard was perfectly collected.
There was dead silence for several min
ut-s. Then one of the reporters said:
While we do not doubt that the shield
will Withstand the bullets the test would
probably be more convincing to the large
number OF persons who are interested
II you would wear IT, but we do not fee
like asking you TO do IT,.
I'm willing, II the marksman Is. Come
on. Bill. it's just as. easy for you to
shoot at me as at dummy"
But "Bill' hesltated. Lennard coaxed
him. and finally he consented to fire the
shot.
The inventor strapped the shield over
his breast and took position at the end
OF the range.
Richards allowed the reporters to ex-
anime the cartridge and when they ex-
pressed their satisfaction he dropped II
into his gun. Lennard watched the pro-
ceedlngs closely.
I'm all ready" he said.
He placed his arms close to his sides
and turned his head
Richards put the weapon to his Shout
der and took careful aim. To the spec
tators II seemed as II he would never
shoot although not more than thirty
seconds elapsed before the report was
heard.

There were three men, one OF whom

They made some uncomplimentary re-

thrown out by Oakley and an unknown
man.
In the struggle the unknown man
fled. Mcdonald waited about the front
door until daylight. when he found no

and he had Fink arrested.
The case against Fink was imperfect
and was dismissed yesterday:

declared that Mcdonald was drunk and
