Nina Danforth, the deformed girl,
who killed A. j. Emery, and is now in
the Cambridge house of correction,
awaiting trial, says Boston special
to the Press. Attorney-General Par
ker feels that because of the pitiable
circumstances of the ease a jury
would acquit her. Yet, by her own
admission and by the testimony of
eye-witnesscs, she killed Emery as
he stood in the doorway of his home
in South Framingham. 1t is the fear
of having a verdict of not guilty
which causes the attorney general so
much trouble.

brought his car to stop just in the
nick of time.
The obstruction which consisted OF
several lengths Of picket fencing and
other material, had been placed on
the track by five men under the in
f1uence OF llquor, because, as Jhey
said, they had attempted to flag 9TH
er inbound cars without success and
determined to make sure Of the next
attempt While the crew was trying
to clear the track in order to pro-
ceed, car 454, also inbound, came
along at a rapid speed and crashed
into the reaB Of the car ahead. The
yestibules. on both cars were smashed
and their interiors were wrecked.
Most Of the injured were caught in
the wrecked vestibules and between
broken car seats. The police are
making every effort to apprehend the
five men who placed the obstruction
on the track They disaFp, red i'm
mediately after the wreck and have

AN EXTRAORDINARY SIMILARITY EXISTS.
The Products of Both Volcanoes
Are the samej Both characterized
by the Absence of Lava and Both
Did Their Work of Destruction
In the Same Way.

fOrt DE France, Island OF Mariln-
ique, Monday, July 7.-Dr. 7. A. Jag
gar, of Harvard university, repre-

survey in the West Indies, arrived

tied Mont Pelee twice, He has also
made excursions to the southern
end Of Martinique, and to the warm
springs Of the interior Of the island.
DR.. Jaggar came directly from St,
Vincent.
An Extraordinary Similarity.
As a result Of recent examinations
Of the crater Of Mont Pelee and ex-
plorations Of the track Of the de-
vastating blast which destroyed st.
Pierre, it appears that there is er-
traordinary similarity between the
/ eruptione Of the Soufricre volcano
Of st. Vincent and Mont Pclec. The
products are the same, both are
characterized by the absence of lava
and the work of destruction, both to
inanimate objects and to mankind,
was accomplished in much the same
way The destructive effects Of the
eruption in st. Vincent covered a
much more extensive area, but the
loss of human life was much less
Active EruptIons Subsiding.
There has been no active eruption
of Mont Pelee of importance since
June 6. \ great cone of boulders
and volcanic bombs, heaped within
the fssure from which the explosion
came, has grown in size since the
middle of May, when DR.. jaggar first
saw it, Occasionally there are sud
den slides of debris down this cone
into the deep gorge of the Riyiere
Blanche. These slides produce great
columns of brown dust, which resem-
bles smoke, that rise in billows from
the mountain flank and give the i'm
preston Of an eruption when viewed
from the sea. At night these sliding
Of rcdhot rocks make glowing
