Tho awful details Of & crime
ccnmittea . year ago were brought
vividly to our remembrance yester-
day when Ed L. Martin and julius
Laird were brought here as prison
ers from their qniet home at
Mannsville. These men we're in
charge Of deputy George M. Stew
art and had been arrested on an
indictment from the United States
court for the Northern district, at
Muskogee, charging them with the
dual crime of kidnapping and ar
son. Mr. Martin is the father and
Mr.. Laird is the husband Of Mrs.
Laird, who was so wantonly and
craelly murdered year ago by In
dams at her home near Earlboro,
in the Seminole nation, an act so
cruel that it was the talk of the
United States at the time. Added
to this horror was the burning at
the stake Of two young Indians
charged by an armed and enraged
mob with the murder Of the lady.
Charged with completely in this
latter act are our two respected
citizens, Ed Martin and his son-in-
law.
On reaching here a writ of re-
moval to the Northern district was
issued by Judge Townsend. In the
meantime other agencies were at
work, and bond for both men was
secured. The readiness with which
the bonds were made shows the
standing of the two men. The
bond for kidnapping was So, 600
and for arson $1,000, and the
same were secured by such men as
Frank Frensley, NJ. j. Sass, R. F.
Scivally and others, who promptly
came to the prisoners aid and OBJ
tanned their release.

There was no reversal here. \ much more
rapid fash was then tried An explosion OF
oxygen and hydrogen gases was brought about,
twice in succession, and the same plate exposed
10 both flashes These flashes last about
1-12OOO Of second But Professor Wood
failed to get a reversal, and thus was led 20
conclude that the time was too long. Finally
he arranged a mechanism which would allow
beam Of light from an electric arc to pass
through a slit that was opened for only
1-I5 600 Of a second Then he was able to repro
duce the phenomenon Of reversal every time.
The brevity Of the fash then, seems to be
other factor in the case.
The mystery is thus found TO be a chemical
one II resides not in the sky, but in the sens-
tive film on the Photographic plate. There IS
no such thing as dark lightning. What actually
happens is this: The sensitizing materials
paraIyzed so TO speak or rendered almost en-
trely imperative. where the image OF the flash
falls upon the plate The rest Of the plate may
then register later flashes and even stationary
objects. like buildings. but no such action can
occur along the inscnsitiye streak made by the
final flash.

deretorm season amateurs arrange 10 expose
