man occasionally goes to the matinee
with his mother, but tho trouble with
him is thst be becomes greatly excited
and is apt to express his feelings in
words, to the amusement Of the audi
ence, but somewhat to the annoyance
Of the actors. At recent play one of
the actors was in the act of choking an
other whom he suspected of being guilty
of crime. As the actor went toward
the supposed villain with his hands
outstretched the boy became greatly ex-
cited, and ns the lneu olinched the boy
stood up and called cut "Say, let him
alone, he didn't do it," There was a
laugh from the audience and a surprised
loo's from the stage.
At another time, in play where a
husband suspected his wife, and she
was pleading to ho taken homo and
given an opportunity to prove her in
nocence the boy could not stand the
woman S pleas and the husbands s cold
reception Of her entreaties. and he called
out, "Plcase, mister, take her back. "
The boy has not been taken to tho
theater recently. y.--Pittsburg Chronicle

ties said to him: You had better get
off the road: you may be hurt. We are
going to shoot. That's the sheriff's Or
ders." He heard another deputy say.
Get back there, Pm going to shoot
you" "Shoot away" said the man, ''if
you see me do anything wrong"
Angelo Matz, the first Italian to- tes-
tify in the case said he was gathering
rags on the day of the shooting, and
met the strikers, and Joined their ranks
in order to "see the fun" He said he
could not tell who fired the first shot,
the sheriff OF the deputies. Just after

to get on his feet, and a deputy ran
over and pumped several shots into his
back, killing him."

he cannot see well, and all the time
he feels rattle in his head. He
said that at Lattimer he was about 25
feet from the head Of the line, and had
started to run when shot.

portant testimony.
