MoIineux Jury Objects to At
torney 0sborne's System of
Close Espionage
EXPERT AMES TELLS
ABOUT HANDWRITING
Lawyer Weeks Tries to Prejudice
Court Against Him on Account
of Witness AgnostiCism

New York, Dec. 27.-Two things of in
Roland B. Molineux today. The first in
cident was the protest made to Record
er Golf against the policy of Shadow
ing'' jurors by the district attorney. The
jurors claimed that detective had been
assigned to each member and that the
Shadows had allowed their zeal to
outrun their discretion.
Foreman Martin, one of the complain
ing jurors. seemed to think that the en-
tire range of the domestic and business
economy of the jurymen had been made
the subject of a close scrutiny by the
detectives. 1t is said that Recorder Golf
told the jurors that he could do nothing
for them. Assistant District Attorney
Mcintyre stated that Is detectives had
been selected to watch the jury and that
| it was the cuSom to employ men to
shadow jurors during an important
murder case.
It is understood, however, that orders
will be issued to the shadows" to give
the jurors as little trouble as possible
in the future. The other incident occur
red during the REORGANIZATION of
handwriting expert Ames of San Fran
cisco.
TEST SENTENCE.
Mr. Weeks inquired whether the ex-
pert had ever written the sentences:
Again ignorance and fear tremble and
are PROSTATE before self-seeking Cum
ming and Fraud, according to the firm
of Moses, Jehovah e. Company (unlim-
ited). Capital infinite; claims terrestrial
and celestial and Moses its general fin
ancier."
Assistant District Attorney Osborne
objected emphatically to the introduce
ton of this writing of expert Ames for
the purpose of prejudicing the jury.
After a lively battle of words the re-
corder called Mr.. Weeks to order and
ruled that the law allowed no religious
test of a witness, and that an affirma-
ton did not necessarily embrace a de-
claration of faith in Cod
During recess Clerk of the Court Bro
ply explained that expert Ames has
merely affirmed when taking the stand.
The day was largely devoted to techni-
cal examination Of handwriting experts
Ames and Tyrrelj Nothing new or i'm
| portant was developed. The trial, which
is now in it's 44th day has broken the
record for murder trials in New York
county by one day, with the prosecution
| apparently not having half finished it's
| sideNof the case. 1t is understood that
| the state will introduce very little, if
any, additional expert handwriting evil
dence, and that expert medical Witness
es will soon be called to the stand for
the purpose of proving the body of the
| crime and showing that Mrs. Adams
| really died as a result of the admins
| tration of the contents of the poison
| package.
AMEs' EXAMINATION.
Mr.. Ames was asked If he worked
! from originals of Molineux writing or
| photographs. He said he thought he
had worked from the originals, but was
| not sure.
The first conclusion he came to was
| that the handwriting in the Cornish
letters was the same as that on the
| poison package. He could not say just

Light and Hygiene Tor Children.

children is that Of light-the light OF

The regulation of the sleeping hours
OF children IL not less important Or.
Maurice de Fleury who has made a
study of this branch Of hygiene, says
that a child Of from 5 TO s years Of age
ought to sleep from o'clock in the
evening to in the morning that is,
eleven hours. child of from 8 TO II

aud eventually, If the system does not
demand more, to seven hours. These
rules are for healthy children. Some
children are all the better for even
more liberal allowance, and those who
are slckly. enervated and eXcitable
should have half an hour or an hours
sleer after the midday meal.

Games 81 chinese chilnren.

There are two theories in regard to
those children's games that are found
70 be identical in different lands. One
Is that the games are borrowed by the
younger people from the older; the
other. that the games are of independ-
ent invention. Some light is shed on
4 this question by passages from "A Cor
ner of Cathay"
A game called "the water-demon
seeking den" is played bv Ave per
sons. precisely like "puss-in-the-cOr-
ner." This ia n native game not an
imported one; and no one knows
whether Chinese and European chill
dren invented Ii independently, or
whether the knowledge of it was in
herited by both from ancient common
ancestors
The same may be said Of "the cats
cradle" which is made with string,
and passed from one pair of hands TO
another, precisely rs among children
I'm America and Europe; but the Chi
nese call 1t Saving wood" in refer
ence to the final act In the perform
nnce.
A game involving much muscular ex.
eTcise is called "the lame chicken" 1t
Is played by jumping on one foot be-
tween shoes that have been placed
across n road at intervals of about ten
inches When the end OF the line OF
shoes is reached, the last shoe in the
line is kicked away by the 'lame"
foot; and then il is picked mp and
carried back over the route 10 the 9TH
or end OF the line when a second shoe
may DO likewise kicked away and pick
ed up before returning.
Only one foot may touch the ground,
and II must touch 1t only once In each
interspace. No shoe may be touched
except the ones which end the line and
the shoes kicked away must be picked
up without putting the lame" foot up
on the ground When the chicken VIC
lates any Of these rules, he must at
once give place 70 another performer.
The shorter the line, the more diff.
cult il is to collect shoes because each
shoe taken involves turning around
without using the lame leg. The win
ner in the game Is he who has az the

Tommv,s opinion.

A lady was reading to her fiveyear-
old son the story of a little fellow
whose father was taken Ill and died,
after which the youBgster set himself
diligently to work to assist in support
ing himself and mis- mother. When
she hal finished the story she said:
NOW, Tommy. If pa was to die,
wouldn't you work to help mammal
"Why, ma" said the little fellow,
not relshing the idea of work, "what
for? Haven't we got good house to
live in?
ooh, yes, my child said the mother.
''but we can't eat the house, you know
well, ma, haven't we got plenty Of

mother, but they would not last long,
