f4sf7 14 . DEFENSE TAXES \ NEN LINE Asks Witnesses if They Don't
 Expect to Get Damages IF DEPUTIES ARE GUILTY This Was the Policy of the Lawyers for Martin and Deputies When the LaIimer Trial
 Opened Yesterday

wilkesbarre, Pa., Feb. 1i.--When court opened this morning for the trial of Sher- Ir Martin and his deputies, who are charg- ed with the killing of the strikers at Lat timer, the defense introduced a new fea- ture in the cross-examination by endeavor- ing to show that the evidence of the wit ness was influenced by the hope of se- curing damages from the government in the event of eonvictions Adam Lapinski, who was on the stand when court closed last night was asked what country he came from.
 "Russo-Poland," he said. Consul for the defense then asked:
 Do you not expect, In the event of a conviction in this case, that your country will file a claim for damages against the United States?"
 q don't know replied the witness.
 "Did you not read in the newspapers that such would be the case?'' q can't read" said Lapinski.
 The commonwealth objected to this line of cross-examination, but the objection was overruled. The witness was then asked: Did anybody tell you or read to you from the papers that you would get money from the government if the deputies were convicted?"
 NO, sir; don't know anything about It," said the witness
 Thomas Paris, the next witness, told the story of the march to Lattimer. At the first shot, Paris said, he ran, but was struck by bullet. he was about fifty yards from the deputies. The ball struck him in the arm and passed through. Several bullets pierced his coat
 Mike Srochak told how some of the dep- uties had followed the fleeing strikers at Lattimer and shot at them as they ran.

Sumptuous Covers Have Often Saved Valuable
 Volumes.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 In the many wars which devastated the
 earth, the conquerors often ruthlessy de- stroyed the libraries of the vanquished;
 and where volumes were saved, it was due
 to the richness of the bindings The Flor
 entines destroyed the books of the Medici;
 the precious treasures of the vatican per-
 ished at the sack of rome by the Constable
 de Bourbon; but in many instances the richness and beauty of the decoration saved from destruction volumes which now enrich the national collections of the world. Today in the auction marts Of Europe books realize enormous prices on account of their binding. Volumes which are by no means unique or extremely rare, if of- Isreo for sale with a Dinding executed Tor Greier. Garevari or from the workshops
 of Du Suel or Le Gascon, will excite among wealthy collectors these Tanta-
 fuses who can never quench their thirst" a fierce competition, and realize for their owners prncey sums. A copy of La Fon- taines "Contes ct Nouvelles en Vers," bound by Derome for Madame de Pompa- dour, realized 17.O00 francs. Of this sum
 the purchaser paid at least 16.OO0 francs for the binding. "In some respe.ts," wrcte tho r~ant'a F,iia "the hette~ 2 hoe'- is, the
