motive, which was only too apparent,
but allusions must be made to a seri-
Gus charge against Henry Ashley, alias
Primus Edes, for the murder OF his
wife, the beautiful, unfortunate Le-
nora. who died of poison but two
weeks previous to the claims set up
by Edes. She received by mail poi
soned ring, and was asked to wear 1t
in remembrance Of her husband, who
would soon return to her. The name
signed was Henry Ashley, and it had
been proved that after wearing the
ring a week she died. The body was
buried, but afterwards disinterred, and
by the ring, without doubt. This
charge would be proven by competent
witnesses to be true. IT was very
startling when takeninto account with
Edes' infatuation for Mrs. Hamilton,
and his claim that she was his wife.
''You will see how diabolical was his
plan, and you can also see his motive.
But for his love for Mrs. Hamilton ne
would never have dared to thrust his
claim before the public; but as sam
son was shOrn Of his strength by the
fair hands Of Delilah, SO has many a
weaker man been robbed Of his reason
by love of woman. Mr.. Hamilton s
course has been straightforward thru
out. Having nothing to conceal, there
have been no efforts at concealment.
He warned Edes not to come near his
house, as you or I would have done.
But when he heard the shot fired he
jumped from his bed, rushed out, saw
that he was lying wounded upon the
ground, and forgot his. displeasure in
doing all that he could for the sufferer.
Mr. Marks is a respectable man who
was known to the Hamilton family in
early life, and as an old acquaintance
was kindly received by my client. He
has followed the calling of book agent,
and fingered a few days in Grovedale
till consignment from the publishers
should arrive"
Mr.. Ferguson then called attention
to the strange fact of the PLAINTIFF s
plea of lost identity, so evidently based
upon that of the respondents. 1t was
a most unusual thingsto happen to any

oxING, asyou have already seen,

IN OXING, asyou have already seen,
* depends fully as much on de-
fensive as on aggressive work.
The man who defends himself
badly is at the mercy of any
ordinarily good opponent. Whereas,
the man whose attack Is poor, but
whose defense is excellent will often
win against a far more Snowy an
tagonist.
In the average bout the rest Of the
as are the arms. I have already
taught you the various side steps
whereby an opponents rushes are
eluded, and I have explained to you
the shifting Of the head to right or left
In countering. But another very
necessary mode Of eluding rush" ;"
lead" and other attacks remains to
be discussed.
To-day's lesson, therefore, will deal
with the art of "ducking.''
The side-step, as we have seen, car
ries the whole body out Of danger. The
duck" on the other hand. protects
only the head. Often there is no time
to sidestep, and it is not expedient to
guard with either hand. In such an
instance the duck" Is a veritable
boon to the hard-pressed boxer.
In ducking Gas in sidestepping and
In swingtng) everything depends on
speed, timeliness and perfect accur-
acy. An awkward or tardy execution
OF this maneuver, or a duck at a crisis
when a guard with the arm or a side
step are called for may lead to un-
pleasant consequences and may give
the other man just the opening he has
been playing for.
If you study this lesson with especial
care, however, and follow faithfully its
instructions, you will, with little
practice, easily master the art Of duck
Ing and will learn to avoid the few pit
falls it sometimes involves.
Put on the gloves and let us begin.
(Remember, when drawing on the
mitts' to use as much care and gem
-tleness Of treatment as tho you were
donning your $3.50 Sunday pearl kid
gloves. In this way your boxing
gloves will last twice as long. It is
not boxing that knocks gloves to
pieces nearly so much as it is the care

up to the present, beginning with the

There are two regular ducks. They
are known as the straight duck' and

STATEHOOD RESOLUTIONS.

The Territorial central committee
of the democratic party met on Tues
day at Santa Fe. There was a large
attendance and matters of general
political interest were considered,
among them the statehood question.
The members were unanimously in
favor of lending all possible aid to
the omnibus bill. The merger of New
Mexico and Arizona into a single state
was considered to some extent. but
the committee deemed it unwise to
take any action, which might be used
in any way to embarrass the measure
now pending before congress. 1t was
determined to concentrate all public
efforts in aid of the passage of the
omnibus bill and to that end the chair
man of the committee will appoint
three democrats to go to Washington
to urge upon the democratic senators
an earnes support of the pending
measure.
The following preambles and resolu'
tions were passed:
At the meeting of the democratic
central committee of New Mexico
held in the City of Santa Fe. N. M.
January 9th, 1908. the following reso-
lutions were adopted:
Whereas, the democratic party
In national convention assembled has

states: and
Whereas, The democratic represent
atives and senators of the congress OF
the United States have consistently
and unanimously supported the pledg
es of the national platform, and by
their work and their votes have ad

Whereas, 1t is the unanimous desire
of the Of New Mexico that
