HIS VICTIMS SKULL.
It Saved a Colorado Homicide from
 Being Hanged.
Clever Ruse of a Lawyer Who Was Aided and Abetted by Surgeon District Attorney an IMno~
 cent AccOmplice.

By saving off a dead mans skull and using it in defending his client, charged with murder, J. Maurice Finn, a Cripple Creek lawyer, out witted corps of district attorneys and even fooled himself by securing an absolute acquittal for the man he represented. The story of this unique legal ruse has just been re- vealed by the attorney.
 It was on Christmas eve, 1901, that William Brooks killed James Roberts after drunken brawl in the Dawson club, at that time one of the most frequented resorts in Cripple Creek, Brooks struck Roberts over the head with a heavy Colt revolver, and the latter fell to the floor dead. Brooks, who was proprietor of the place, gave himself up to the authorities to escape the vengeance of mob or ganized to lynch him, and immediate ly sent for Attorney Finn.
 It was immediately afterward that the lawyer made the unique discov cry which ultimately resulted in freeing his client.
 While viewing Roberts body at the morgue, Finn noticed that the bony covering of the skull was of thin porous nature, an unusual condition among human beings, and he immedi- ately made up his mind that the one single thread which might be relied upon to save his client from the gal lows rested in his possession of the skull. But how to get it he did not know. Another fact that presented itself was that he himself could not, exhibit the murdered mans skull, for to be material evidence the state must introduce it. Finn thought for an instant, scarcely knowing which

Fourth of July Mishaps Baseball
 Game-NeWs Notes.

 Game-News Notes.
 The Fourth passed off here with the usual quietness with the exception of two or three accidents which occurred yesterday morning. Charles and Mar guerite Hungerford while driving on the Thomaston road met with an ac- c1dent which resulted in the death of one of their best horses. They had reached the hill near Ira Hotchkiss' when the horse suddenly began to Dass backing the carriage straight down the hill. When MT Hungerford saw that he could do nothing with the horse he and his sister jumped from the wagon; then the horse wheeled quickly around and started down the hill at tremendous rate of speed. When it had reached the bridge op- posite Greenville factory the horse l stumbled and broke it's leg. Nothing could be done for the injury and the horses agony was Immediately ended by shooting him.
 Another Fourth of July accident occurred near the postof1ice when John Griffin and Frank Brown, who were enjoying themselves by dischargine cannon, allowed small spark to get into the can in which they kept their powder This of course happened so suddenly that neither of the boys was aware of the danger until the powder exploded Ill their faces. Griffin re- celVed a severe injury to his arm, but was otherwise not badly injured. but Brown received the charge full in the Iace, 1nJuring him so badly that a doc tor was summoned to dress inc wounds. Brown was then taken to his home where he is now resting as comfortably as possible under the cir cumstances.
 The Watertown baseball team met and was defeated by the Second Wards of Waterbury yesterday by the score of 7-5. Although the score was close, the game was far from interest Ing, the local boys being unable to hit Dawson, the Waterbury pitcher. while on the other hand the Waterburys batted Evans, the local pitcher, almost at will. The fielding of the local boys was also very ragged. Score by in- nings: R.HE Watertown 70 o ooo4 1-5 5 2 | D. WdfQS ...U U O Z l 0 O-7 12

TRADE CONDITIONS.

A Quiet Week, but Outlook For Fau
 Distribution Is Excellent.
 NEW YORK, July 5.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Quiet conditions have prevailed in most branches of business, prepara- ton for the holiday having more infiu- ence than usual, especially in those markets already affected by labor dis putes. Heavy sales of fireworks and sporting goods bear testimony to the fact that the purchasing power of the people is not impaired, however, and arrangements for fall trade continue on a very large scale. Speculation in securities was restricted, but grain markets at the west were sensational Iy active Money markets were not advanced, despite heavy dividend dis tribution, and relief will follow the lower internal revenue rates now in effect Large interest payments testi- fy to the prosperous condition of rail- ways, industrial corporations and financial institutions, and aside from the labor troubles the half year just ended was remarkably satisfactory.
 Railway earnings for June exceeded last years by GA per cent and those of 1900 by 19.9 per cent.
 In the iron and steel districts there have been no developments of inpor- tance. Scarcity of fuel caused the banking of some blast furnaces, which reduces pig iron production, and deliv- cries are slowly falling behind
 Quotations of wool made a further aIipbf advance
 Cotton prospects frightened with rain in the southwest, yet there was no weakness. The crop year closed with receipts of coffee at Brazil ports far surpassing all records, and prices remained at the bottom point.
 Commercial failures in the first half of 1902 numbered 6,165, with liabili- ties of $50, ,374, ,S56. Although this is an increase of S4,570. 166 compared with last year and $1S,311, 1928 more than &he exceptionally favorable record of 1899, it is necessary to go back fifteen years to find another more gratifying showing than that of 1902.

way to turn, until an idea struck him and he hastened to put it into exc cution. He hurried to the office of Dr.. J. W. Sanders and explained the case sufficiently to excite the profession al curiosity of the surgeon.
 Then the two set out together, the doctor with his scalpel knife and op- erating saw concealed under his coat. They went at once to the morgue, where the body of Roberts was held, and found the place in charge of boy, who was easily per- suaded to busy himself away from the death chamber. Finn pointed to the body and stepped outside.
 Soon the surgeon called him, and going back to the morgue he beheld a sight that shook his iron nerve. Standing before him was the doctor with the skull of the dead man rest ing in his hands. It had been skill fully separated from the scalp, which lay Imply over the dead mans face. The lawyer recoiled and turned sick with faintness, but he thought of the fate of his client and braced himself for the final test of nerve.
 A few days before the case came up Dr. Sanders walked into the of fee of the district attorney with the skull of the murdered man.
 Here is the skull of James Rob-. erts, who was murdered on Christ mas day." he. said. ''The fact that the skull is almost as porous as pa per made it valuable addition to my 4 T almost unheard of, specimen. The state can use it in the prosecution of the person charged with the crime"
 The trial, says the Chicago Trib- une, was of tragedy character and the testimony sensational. For eight hours MT. Finn pleaded with the jury. He exhibited the thinness of the skull, and dwelt on this point with such convincing fnesse, that the lawyers who listened were unani- nous in saying: "Hel will set him off with a manslaughter verdict" If Roberts had had an ordinarily thick skull he would not have been killed was the gist of his contention. Late in the night of the second day yer dict of acquittal was brought in by the jury.
 Miners all over the district were appalled, at the outcome of the trial, vigilance committee was quickly formed and 200 men said they were ready to avenge outraged justice. The news of their intention, however, preceded them, and Brooks, quaking with fear, was escorted to the Mid- land depot under the protection of 25 deputy sheriffs, hidden away and taken out of camp. As fast as the train could take him he made for the Pacific coast, and is now in Seattle, Wash.

THE ROCK ISLAND HoLDuP.
one Bandit In Custody--ploodhoun
 on tEae TrafI.

Gnes Bandit In Crzstody--HIoodhoun
 on tEae Trail.
 CHICAGO, July 5.--With half a hun- dred men on their trail and the prom ise of desperate battle and probably death for their po...1fon if they shall be overtaken, the two bandits who halted the Rock Island railroads Denver lim- ited express train at midnight Thurs day and escaped after mortally wound ing one of the express messengers are still at large. Night and day they have pushed on through the farming coun- try, stealing buggy or q wagon here and there and abandoning the teams when they were tao exhausted to car ry them farther. Farmers and resi- dents in the little towns in the vicinity of the scene of the raid swept over the surrounding fields and prairies in the hunt, but never a glimpse was had Of the fugitives. Occasionally fumor of their whereabouts was obtained, but the utmost haste in organizing a pur- suit failed to overhaul them.
 James Kain the veteran express messenger who was shot by the rob bers while he stood with his hands ele- vated above his head, was brought to Chicago, and it is believed he will re- cover.
 Charles Messler, the dupe and decoy of the bandits, who was captured on the ground after they had fled, was brought from Joliet during the day by Sheriff Magerstadt but the officers do not believe he will be of much assist ance in running down the fugitiyes.
 The attempt upon the strong boxes of the United States Express company that were journeying toward Omaha and Denver is admitted to have been one of the best planned raids of recent years, but it was poorly executed, and the bandits tried to carry out the pro gramme without sufficient force to pro tect themselves from an attack. E The detectives engaged in the inyes- tigation and the pursuit now being pushed all over Illinois are satisfied that the robbers hoped to force the biz safe, which contained somewhere in the neighborhood of S90,o00, and onl. the precipitate shooting of the messen ger defeated them in this project. They secured little of value.

'' 'Tis odd" s 'TiS so.o

A young couple were married in Fenelon Falls the other day, and a number of their friends and relatives assembled at the railway station to see them off on their honeymoon. Old slippers and rice were showered on the happy pair as they boarded the train.
 When they got comfortably seated in the car the groom noticed boot in the aisle, and, thinking it was one that had been thrown into the car by some of his jovial friends, threw the boot out of the window as the train was moving.
 It happened that the boot belonged to a Toronto commercial traveller who had removed it to ease his weary feet. On the arrival of the train at Lindsay the bridegroom was com pelled to purchase a new pair of boots for the drummer-Toronto Globe.

THINGS WE
 LIKE BEST
Why is it They so Seldom
 Auree With Us?

Whats the reason the things we like best so seldom seem to agree with us? Maybe it's because we overeat of them. Then follows a it of indigestion. Only lasts a day or two perhaps. But it's a most uncomfortable day or two We don't mean to abuse our Stomachs but we all do it more or less. We see things we want and can't resist the longing for them. When it's too late we regret our raShness. But there's a way to escape the conse- Quences of such indiscretions. A dose of good digestant like Kodol Dys- pepsia Cure will relieve you at once.
 Indigestion is always due to the same cause. Your stomach is too weak to digest what you eat. It needs rest. You can't rest it by going without food. That would mean starvation. But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure willresti it. It does the stomach's work. In the mean time the tired organ is gaining fresh strength. Before long it will be as strong as ever. You don't have to diet. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will di- gest any kind of wholesome food.
 '.I had stomach trouble four years,''' says Geo. R. Oolbath, Alpena, Mich, ''whioh was so bad that at times I was forced to remain Dyspepsia Cure from which I received irn- mediate relief and few bottles effected complete cure"
