In opening the case for the defence
eX-County Attorney Mathews said in
part:
The defence will show you that the
respondent had no opportunity to com
init this brutal murder, and further
more that he had no motive for such
4 deed. We Will show that he was a
man of high standing, honest manly
and aW-abiding and highly respected
by his ellow-townsmen. He will go
up on the stand and tell you the story
of his life from boyhood up.
We will show you that Fannie f.
Sprague was alive at S.45 on the morn
ing of the murder and that at $50 she
was found dead in this old horse stall
ON the morning of the tragedy Mr.
Knight was intending to go to South
Berwick village to transact some bust
ness venture in which he and Charles
A. Thompson We're interested: but for
reasons which Will be given you he sud
denly changed his mind and went to
the Pond pasture to repair a fence.
WrOk which Mr.. Meader. who was
working for him. should have done. We
Will account for his whereabouts from
early that morning until after the COM
mission of the crime. After repairing
the fence he returned home by way of
the new spring, stone bars. and down
the road to his farmhouse. He was
intending to go to Shapleigh with Mr.
Thompson the first of the week to strip
n timber lot.
We will show that he never was
outside the bounds of the Pond pas
ture on the morning of May l, except
when he was going to and returning
from that place. He had considerable
work to do there. and it must have
kept him busy all the time he was
there. When he returned he went to
the blacksmith shop, did some work
went to his stable. oiled his carria gee
went to neighbours and borrowed 4
bride, and assisted his wife and neigh
Dor to set up a tub. so that they could
do some washing.
We will show you that he did not
have the knife with which it is alleged
by the State that he cut the throat of
Fannie Sprague in his possession from

CROWS LIKE TERRAPIN EGGS.
That IL One Reason Why the Mary
land Crop of Diamond Backs
Runs short.

The crow is the evil genius Of the
turtle just as of the diamond back
and other terrapins. When tie warm
days OF spring come and the female
tcrrapins and turtles leave their beds
in the marsh the crow goes on guard,
knowing that season of feasting is at
hand. Both terrapins and tur les seek
the warm. sandy uplands near the
shore to deposit their eggs.
\ hole is dug several inches deep and
from 90 10 30 inches oblong. white
eggs are deposited and then the nest is
filled or covered with sand. Having
neatly piled the sand over the eggs.
the turtle raises herself just as high
as is possible. then comes down with
a heavy thud on the sand. This is
continued until the sand is quite hard
when the eggs are left for the sun to
hatch.
In the meantime the crow has been
on guard. and by means of his sharp
bill and strong claws the work of
breaking into the treasure house of the
unsuspecting turtle is quickly accom-
plishett and the feast is soon over. The
crow is considered by many 10 be the
greatest enemy the diamond-back has.
II is an easily established fact that
the crow destroys thousands of the
eggs of all kinds Of terrapin. not maxi
ing an exception of the diamond
backs.

INDIAN LOVES PERFUMERY.
One of the Noble Rcd Men Pours n
EOttIc OF scent on His
Clothes.

There is a drug clerk near the
Coliseum who has rot Yet recovered
from am experience he underwent
when the sportSmen's show was run
ming In the building One afternoon
two Indians who dwelt i'm their tcpees
ON the edge Of the miniature tank
and lent AN air of picturesqueHes to
the scene entered the drug store. says
the Chicago Chronic>.
Heap SMELL" said one Of the red
men i'm cultural tones, pointing to
the show cases where the toilet ar
ticics were arranged.
The drug clerk looked puzzled and
his visitors regarded him with stoical
anticipation.
Heap SMELL" said the Indian again.
The drug clerk reached into the
case and drew ont cake OF scented
toilet soap. The Indian shifted it dis
daiufully. first tearing of the highly
colored wrapper. Then he east it on
the floor and placed his moccasin-cov-
cred foot upon it in disgust.
Heap SMELL Heap SMELL" he
said. impatiently. The clerks face
suddenly frightened. Reaching into
collection Of bottles ornamented
with pictures Of violcts and roses and
other botanical specimens. he drew
one out. The Indian shifted it ec-
statically and then drew from the
pocket Of his buckskin garments
large American dollar. Without wait
ing for his change he drew out the
cork and poured the contents of the
bottle on his person. His companion
smiled approval and the two went
softly out, closing the door gently be-
hind them.
And they say the Indian isn't civ
ilized." said the drug clerk musingly.
