testimony In behalf of the prisoner.
Epstein could not speak English and
hence there could be nothing in the stntos
claim as to any important indication that
his failure TO answer the charges OF Ear
ransky at the police station immediately
after the affair
1t would be shown that Epstein was OF e
genial disposition, very well liked and
looked upon by his fellow workmen as
somewhat superior To themselves.
on the other hand IL would be shown
that Zarransky was OF a moroso chahac-
ter and one whose sofe ubject m life was
the accumulation of gold. The desire for
gold was carried so far that zarrsnsky
almost starved himself to death, he hav-
ing no cooking utensils In his garret room
and lived only on stale bread.
Mr.. Bellin said the attorney gepcral had
started the story along that Epstein
had pretended to be a friend of Zarransky
TO rob him, but IL would he shown that
Epstein was the only one who was friend

for the killing of Zarransky by Epstein.
REFUSED TO DRINK.
that Zarransky offered Epstein n drink
OF alcohol out OF bottle and Epstein
refusing, Zarransky took quite liberal
drink This was just before the two
men retired to their beds.
Zarransky was crazed by disease, by
starvation and intoxication on the night
OF the sad affair." MIR. Bellin claimed
He also declared the facts about Ep-
stems going out OF a window was that
he tried 10 get out OF the way of Ear
ransky and that Zarransky hit Epstein
with a bottle on the fingers as he was
hanging on TO tho window sill. One of the
doctors called in behalf of the state had
admitted Epstein's thumbs were cut.
Louis List was the first witness called
by the defence. He gave measurements
of the room that Zarransky occupied at

GRAPHITE FOR NEW YORK.
Wisconsin Company Sells 10000 Gallons for
Gotham Underground Railway

The Wisconsin Graphite company
with local offices at Stevens Point has
secured the contract for furnishing
10000 gallons of No. graphite paint
from the mines at junction City in
Wood county for the purpose of paint
ing part of the new underground
railway in New York city. This
paint will be the black graphite
ground in oil. The company also
expects to secure the contract to
furnish the dry black graphite pig
ment to be used in painting the new
suspension bridge now being thrown
across the East river from New York
and Brooklyn.
These contracts are but a handful
compared to the aggregate recently
made by the Wisconsin Graphite
company at its Pittsburg office, but
the orders are scattering and the
individual objects to be painted are of
less general interest.
Il is also rumored that negotiations
are now under way between the
officials of the Wisconsin Central and
the graphite company with a view of
leasing the abandoned Wisconsin
Central paint shops at Stevens Point
to the latter company to be used as a
paint manufacturing plant. If the
deal is consummated it. is said that
the dry ore will be shipped there in
carload lots from the mine at Junction
City to be dryed, pulverized, mixed in
Oil and canned or otherwise packed.
