Hemlock destroys the soil by taking

rich foliage to fall after Summer and
to restore more to the soil than the
tree took, but only a steady and greedy
absorption.
So there are hemlocks In many
homes. They never contribute to com

them, and how they despoil home OF

TO PROVE PIERCE CRAZY.
Defence Making Effort to That End In
Lewiston Case.

Lewiston, May 1l.-At the opening OF
the George W. Pierce trial at the Supreme
court in Auburn this morning, MIR. Heath
of the counsel for defence, made formal
motion for the discharge of the prisoner
ON the grounds that according to the evil
dence the box in which the poisoned
liquor was shipped to II. E. Teel, was
left on the steps of the express office in
Boston, the express charges to be paid by
Mr.. Teel and If there was a crime COM
mitted in another state, that the connec-
ton of the sender of the box terminated
at the express Office. Mr.. Heath also
made point that no evidence had been
iptrod uced to show that the box had been
prepared in this state.
Mr.. McCann, the states attorney, con-
tended that the express company was
imply the innocent agent of the respond
emit, and that the intent Of the sender
must be considered and he argued that
the preparation of the crime was con-
tinuous until the arrival of the whiskey
in the hands of MIR. Teel. He said furths 7
that there was evidence that the box was
prepared in this jurisdiction.
Judge Whitehouse overrUled the motion
| for discharge reserving the right OF ex-
oeption.
The defence was opened at Q. 45 O'Clock,
by Iascus Atwood, Esq.
The defence does not admit that Pierce
J sent the whiskey. They ciaiu that ne !;

,psane, and that all the acts fed to
nv the states witnesses 20 to prove this
fact which they proposed TO still further
an prasize by the Introduction Of further
evidence along that line.
MIR. Atwood asked the jury to wait un-
Gil all the evidence was In before arriving
at verdict.
Eugene Il. Stokes Of New York. EN-
ployei in the Pinkerton detective agency,
was called by the defence.
Mr.. Stokes read extensively from his
minutes as tn his observation of Piercs
while occupying room In Hirsch's In
whose company he was more or less for
several weeks.
Pierce related one evening how near re
came TO being passenger on the wrecked
steamer Portland, but he remarked that
he believed that man doomed to be
hung would never be drowned.
Pierce also sail that he would get even
with everybody who had wronged him.
LAWYERS, he said, where the worst class
of men; that those who had wronged him
might be hard to get at bnt their time
would surely come. de referred to ex-
Mayors McGillicuidy and Newell as the
meanest men in Lewiston and said that
be would get evon with them at any cost.
He asked the detective IL he could tell
bin of any way he could do the job. He
said that he would stop at nothing.
Pierce gave the names Of number of
persons who had wron1ed him and he
vowed that he would get even with them
all.
Deputy Sheriffs Soule and Googin and
Jordan testified regarding the behavior
of Pierce in jail and on the way to and
from August
I Mrs. George W. Pierce, the wife of the
prisoner, testified that her husband had
for years accused her of iDfidelity with
men, some of whom she had not eve n
heard of. All of these accusations were
without foundation. There were frequent
accusations of intdelity with men she
didn't know. That he had used violence
toward her without cause.
The defense rested here and the state
began its rebuttal. Only one witness
was introduced before court adjourned.
DIR. b. f. Sturgis OF Auburn testified.
Was called by sheriff to see Pierce In cell.
Pierce waved his arm in the air and ut
tered inarticulate sounds. also fell from
his bunk, hut was careful not to strike
h head on the floor. Witness gave him
no medicine.
