How a Newspaper Illus trated the Trial of a
 Murderer.
Scenes Occurring Many Miles Away Transmitted by
 Electricity.
It Took Just Ninety-Six Minutes to Have Portraits Ready for
 the Press.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Pictures of characters of the Edwin Shaw murder trial at Camden, N. J., 145 miles from New York, were secured this evening Tn the editorial room of the Herald and were ready for the press ninety six minutes from the time they were sent. The instrument stood in an all cove, looking for all the world like a diminutive model of a printing press under glass case. The veteran opera tor who had charge of it sat at a table next to the case and watched the waving finger of the instrument, draw ing likenesses line by line. Two sheets of paper four and half inches square. with. a carbon sheet between, were placed upon the bed and securely clasped down. Over the surface passed a carriage upon a tiny wheel. The car riage bore a needle which pressed down upon the surface of the paper Out at Camden the indicator was passed over the lines drawn with shel- lac upon a tin plate. The needle in New York pressed down upon the pa per every time the indicator 145 miles away crossed the line upon the tin plate. The finger had nearly reach ed the rim of the bed of brass and stopped.
 The carriage was lifted up, the sheets were slipped out, and there was the picture of man. The telegraph in- struments were working now.
 Have sent a picture of Nelson w. Cox, disqualified as juror," ticked the sounder
 Received in excellent condition" was the message sent back to Camden.
 The time was twenty-one minutes The features Of man over at Camden had been pictured in New York in tWenty-one minutes. Fresh sheets of paper were put in. The needle was moved back to the starting point and the clock work began to move. 4 new picture had been placed in the machine at Camden. Another picture was on the way; another twenty-one minutes of waiting and another portrait was taken from the machine. This, as the operator at Camden sent word over the same wire, was the picture of Edward Norcross, foreman of the jury.
 Then the artist and engraver had their turn. The pictures were re- drawn in India ink first. It takes thirty minutes to re-draw a portrait carefully The drawings were then sent to the en- graving room. Forty-five minutes after it left the hands of the artist the DOT trait was ready for printing. The send ing of the pictures showed that draw ings may be sent by wire, re-drawn and made ready for printing in ninety six minutes.
