the first witness to be called to the stand
in the Heath case this morning Mrs.
Gaetano lives on NJ street in this city, and
an alley runs back of her house between

south of the McWhrter residence. and on
the morning of the shooting she thought it
was fire and sprang cut of bed and ran
into the alley. and saw man walking
rapidly away, and be passed within six or
seven feet Of her. She afterward saw
Heath In jail, and bis general build aud
beard resembed the man she saw In the
alley. She nodded to Heath, who sat in
the courtroom. and said he was the man.
Professor Price was then recalled to the
stand TO give the results of further expert
ments made by him in firing pistol. He
took an undershirt and a nightshirt, du-
plicaies in texture of the garments worn
by McWhirter at the time of his death.
The uDdershirt was placed tightly round a
large piece of beef and over this the night
shirt, fitting loosely. The first shot was
fired with the pistol pressed tightly against
the garment. Detective McFarlane did
the shooting. The jury crowded around to
see the effects of the shots.
Professor Price produced the clothes
covering the beef when the shooting was
done. Both pieces of clothing we're burned
through at the first shot, when the pistol
was held against them. With the pistol
Just touching the folds of cloth the cloths
were badly burned within a circle of three
or four inches in diameter. At the dis
lance of three inches both cloths were
burned and grains of powder were carried

cloth. The result at nine inches was about
the same.
At IL inches the outer cloth was burned
and grains OF powder were carried into
the under cloth. but did not burn it. At
two feet grains OF powder we're carried
through the outer cloth and into the under
shirt. and there was burning around the

each shot in ali the experiments.
The prosecution asked that DR.. A. j.
Pedlar be allowed TO dissect the piece OF
beef and see the amount of powder in
each bullei-hole, but the court denied this,
saying that The jurymen could see for
themselves, and that the piece being on
exhibit, it would be wrong to have it de-
siroyed by dissection.
The jurymen all looked carefully at tie
beef. The powder had penetrated three

TnE attempt OF the Morning News to
supplement tho charge OF Senator Hoar
that the Democratic Senators are about
ito violate their oaths TO support the
Constitution" in their action en- the
tariff bill, Is amusing. The supplementary
proceedings Of the News refer TO the
Delaware election laws Precisely what
charge the News makes is hazy; the
proof, however, Is that Senator Gray is a
Delawareau, that he has not repealed
the Delaware election laws; that he
does not represent the majority of tho
working people and majority Of the
business men Of the state The first
two items we readily admit, but
we doubt II the News is
strictly accurate In polling the
state. We should dislike exceed.
lngly TO be compelled TO rely on tho
count the News would make on the
psll Of this state. la fact we could not
trust Senator Higgins implicitly after
that Little Creek hundred episode IN
which Wootten caught him red handed
But, however that may be, the Efforts OF
the News to prove that Senator Gray is
pursuing a course toward the tariff that
Is unconstitutional, because Delaware
has election laws to prevent ignorant
and venal negroes from voting, is as
nice piece OF irrational ratiocination as
we have seen Ia any newspaper for many
a day. It is what the school boy logics
call mot following, dawphool argu-
ment. Il Is similar to a proof that ths moon
is made of green cheese because the at
mospherio phenomena make the sun aP-
pear red. Senator Hoar is logical, bright
Witty. He Is man of a certain kind Of
pestifereus evaporation which, wher
supported by his ability, which Is real. II
worthy Of attention The News, on th,
contrary, does not exhibit any OF thosl
qualities Ia fact they are all intensely
absent; the News is hagrantly dull and
witless Hence,of course, the attempt o.
the News TO supplement Senator Hoar
funny. We cannot argue against it. w
can only assure the News that 1t need
not worry-senator Gray has not frac
tured the Constitution.
