iNo iShSilSu SpcuhluB NIlntSStS yes
terday afternoon gave the most direct
and intelliglDle evidence in the damage
suit of Giordano VS.. the Brandywine
Granite ompany that has yet been given
in the case, during which up to yester
day afternoon there was nothing but
tedious examination of Italian witnesses
These two witnesses were Philip Tyre
and William Scott, both quarrymen of
many years experience, and their testi-
mony probably will be of much value TO
the jury in the case.
Mr.. Tyre was called to testify first
He Thought four holes could not he
sprung in two hours and forty minutes
as it was testified they were, and if
this could he done he thought there
would be no danger. He never knew Of
powder to eXploue from the heat of
stone, and said it required spark Of
fire to explode powder. Under such con
ditions, snpposing the stone was heated,
he thought there was not as much dan
ger with dynamite as with powder The
principal way Of exploding dynamite is
by conclusion.
In the main the testimony Of Mr..
Scott was similar to that of Mr.. Tyre.
Mr. Scott said he thought it an impos-
sibilty to warm rock by an explosion.
When the charge went off the explosion
went like fash of lightning and was
gone in the air.
The examination Of witnesses will like
ly continue all of today.
