that the hypodermic Injection Of
some perfumes. such as white rose,
lilac or vi,let. under the skin, caused
the perfume to be exhaled from
the whole dy, and even from the
breath. All the ladies wanted TO be
perfumed. The operation had to be
repeated about once u week in oe1er
to secure the desired results. But
unfortunately, two or three OF the

died. That put a quietus on the

In THE DOCK.
Lewis Arraigned and Assigned Coun-
sci by Judge Gould.

Soldiers & Chase Will Defend Him
They Will Have Hearing This
Morning.
The desire to see James Lewis Heicn,
now charged with the murder OIL Byron
Coburn, brought large crowd TO the
Municipal court yesterday morning.
After the crowd of drunkards and toughs
had fled into the prisoners dock, Sheriff
Chute appeared with Lewis ana draf1am.
Lewis loob ed very small beside the tall
sheriff. He wore the peculiar cloak pre-
viously mentioned in this paper. He
says he did not bring it from South
America. but that Mrs. Kimb gave it
to him. He was given seat in the
prisoner dock at the end. His appear
ance is VIGOROUSLY different from what
il was when he was first held by Sheriff
Parker on the night of the murder. He
is certainly much paler than he was
then, but he controls his expression OF
face with remarkable power, either for
an innocent or guilty man, in his un-
pleasant situation. He held his head
high, but did not glance about the court
room as if at all DESTROYS Of seeing any
tn ing or anybody.
GRAHAM was given a seat with the
witnesses. He shows the result of his
connection with the affair even more
noticeably than Lewis. and looked posi-
lively i'll.
Deputy Sheriff Parker. of Gorham,
brought in Joseph Coleman, who was
given seat among the spectators.
Roscoe G. Drown, of Gorham. Coburn's
and Alonzo f. Littlefield OF
Portland, Mrs. Kimball son-in-law,
were among the spectators.
Judge Gould began the business OF the
morning by saying: Lewis, l UNDER
stand that you ave no connsel?"
"Yes, sir, that is correct" was Lewis's
reply, spoken in clear, firm voice.
81 appoint Mr.. Seiders," said Judge
Gould, meaning Hon. George M.Seiders,
who was present in the court room.
Therefore the firm of Seiders & Chase,
that defended August Prawda, will de-
fend James Lewis WEIGH.
1t was decided that Lewis should have
a hearing before Judge Gould, and that
the hearing should be postponed until
9 O'Clock this morning.
GRAHAM and Coleman, as material wit
nesses were held in $4,000 bonds.
