present, and after thorough examina-
ttoDs of the systems proposed, IL was
decided to adopt the gravity furnace
system. This lie a hot air system that
is guaranteed to supply sut1lcient
amount of pure fresh air to each pu-
pill, but it is done without the expense
OF installing and maintaining an en-
CINE to force the pure All. into the

by means OF gravity. A furnace is
placed in the chimney, and the circu-

Very few witnesses were examined
in the felony case OF young Martucios
yesterday afternoon aud at the pres
ent rate OF progress, the jury may
expect to board at the court house the
rest OF this week II not longer. The
cross questioning OF the defense has
been carried to every technicality.
But so far the cross questioning has
not injured the testimony OF the pros
Eecution very much, In the estimation
of the spectators.
Col. Gilmore identified the Italian,
and told an intelligent narrative OF
what be had seen. He had seen the
young man run down over the hill,
and sent the celored boy, Henry Rich
ardson, to hunt for him.
Henry was put on the stand. He
told q very straight story and also
identified Martucio- Every effort was
made In the cross examination TO de-
termine whether be would sustain bis
own testimony, but 10 the main 1t
was believed TO De unimpeachaoie. The
defense, however, claim that 10 some
very essential points his statements
were at variance.

| The last witness for the State in
the trial OF Nicola Martucio IN the
Circuit Court was DR.. M. e. Gardner,
the physician who was summoned to
dress the wounds of the little girl,
Priscilla White, on whom the outrage
was committed.
His testimony showed that the girl
had been severely wounded and shock
ed by the assault upon her, and that
she was in critical condition for
several days.
The State rested its case Wednes-
day evening, and the examination Of
witnesses for the defense was begun
Thursday morning. Mike Rich, the
well known italian fruit dealer, was
the first witness called for the defense.
He knows most of his countrymen
here and has been OF great assistance
to them when they came over as
strangers.
Several chancery cases are still be-
ing heard while the trial OF Martucio
is in progress, and a great deal Of work
is being accomplished BY the court.
Judge Mason said yesterday that he
would hold two courts at one time and
they could qualify another jury II the
clerk would make the proper record.
The Judge is dispatching business as
fast as it can be done with care.
e. e. Hundley was admitted to
practice law In the courts OF this
Stote. Mr.. Hundley has taken the
law course In the State University and
has been located here for some time.

Mike Rich, Leonard Rich, his broth

aud several other Italians have been
on the witness stand today. But
those who cannot speak English do
not give very strong evidence for the
case In anyway.
E.. G. Protzman the Peasants street
photographer was also examined for
the defense. He bad been employed to
take number of photographs OF Sec
tions Of the borough 10 which the
events of the present case occurred.
These photographs are being used
for the witnesses to point out upon
them certain locations, places, and the
accuracy with which they do this is
expected to count In the evidence.

already at work surveying for the

the opposite side OF the river from

The route follows an easy grade round
