w IN ~ ~ A intensity. I,r:;, ert was
il =. II 5:..I;'5 to-day. Tne testimony
vi DIR. Airport yesterday afternoon was
greatly to the big sausage makers llk-
ing. DIR. Airport declared the femur,
which Prof. Geo. Dorsey of the Field
Columbian Museum identified as that
of human, was the femur of hog.
The dispute between these two eminent
authorities as to the bones has brought
about crisis in the case. II the jury
believes DIR. Airport, the conclusion can
hardly be escaped that no human body
was boiled in the vat in Luetgert's fac
tory. When DR.. Airport went on the
witness stand again to-day he created
another sensation by declaring that the
temporal bone which Prof. Dorsey iden-
tilted as human and from its formation
probably the right temporal bone OF a
female, is not human. DR.. Airport en-
phatically remarked that there was no
indication upon which to base the con-
clusion that the bone was from
the skull of human being.
He believed it came from the
skull of some lower animal. "That
bone is composition of bones put to-
gether by artificial means. The trace
here which Prof. Dorsey said was the
outline of facial nerve, is fibre Of
animal matter with which the bones
are stuck together" He also declared
that the phalanges in evidence belonged
to the lower animal kingdom.

AU. S. JUDGE in West Virginia
takes issue With those Of Indianapolis

civil service law is binding upon inter-
nal revenue collectors and tna1 conSe
oueutly they cannot remove their demo-
cratic deputies simply to put repuOn'
cans in their places. With such d.
verse constructions of the law it is not
at all wonderful that partisan dispen,
sers of federal patronage should avail
themselves of the resultant doubt Tor
Tho benefit of their own "workers.'
The best and easiest way oy
which all doubt concerning 'n0
law could be removed would be TO
reneal it as soon as possible, and as tne
democratic national convention de-
clared against it, and as MIR. Hanna
MIR. Grosvenor and nearly all the otner
influential republican Congressman
are opposed to it, there should Dc no
4ropble about doing that, Immediately
after the commencement OF the next
session of Congress.

such seizure and burning would Ell
