dropped the pieces of the pistol and called out that Dews had been shot.
 This was shortly before o'clock. Persons at the NJ. & P. depot heard him and came to his assistance. The wounded man was taken to the hospital where he died two or three hours later. It will be remembered that on the night of the shooting Erickson did not admit that he had done it. It trans pires that he was not sure that he had done it; he could not see how it could have been done with his pistol. As Erickson told this story to the jury he took the pistol apart just as he had done at the request of Dews.
 The faces of the jurymen hardened when he had finished his story Ari- zona jurymen are supposed to know all about guns end here was the most astounding and ridiculous tale that had ever been told to an Arizonian. The coroner saw by the countenances of the jurymen how they felt about it and he himself, nOtwithstanding the earn estness of Esgickson's manner, could not help believing he was lying, his re- lation of the manner of the discharge of the barrel seemed so preposterous.
 He determined though to give the young man a chance for as things then SNOO0 tue Jury NdS GGIldlllN lnCDneQ to charge him with crime The cor oner issued a subpoenae for w. L. Pinney who came into court and quail fled as an expert in the mechanism of fire arms and particularly as to Lug CTS. The coroner said that it was fair that MT. Piuney should be made acquainted with the marvellous story told by Erickson. He was then asked if it would be possible for one to be shot in the manner described by Brick son. He replied that it would be pos sible but that it would be most ex- traordinary occurrence. He himself could not at first see how the barrel might have been discharged by the shaking described by Erickson. How ever. he took the weapon apart just 1 as Erickson had done and taking hold of the barrel he shook 1t to remove the pin. There is on the side of the barrel a spring connected with the trig- ger and he discovered that one shaking the barrel vigorously, might press upon
 that spring. He did so and the deadly click was heard throughout the court room. That settled it. The mystery had been made plain and the reputa- ton of Erickson for veracity was es- tablished. The jury returned a verdict that the shooting had been accidental. It was also shown that Erickson and 1 Dews, working together in the NJ. & P. shops, were intimate friends.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT
Disclosed by Testimony in the Dews
 Inquest Yesterday.

The inquest on Harry Dews was con- cluded yesterday by Acting Coroner Burnett and it was found that the fa- tai shot was accidentally fired. It was also brought out that the shooting came about in manner never before heard of and truth was lent to the old state ment that a gun even without lock stock or barrel' is dangerous wea- pon.
 Ernest Erickson, who was holding the gun or a part of it at the time the shot was fired, went on the stand. He said he had just bought the weapon a Luger automatic pistol He had been out trying to shoot doves and had fired enc shot. He returned to the M & P. round house where he and Dews were employed and showed the gun to Dews. They went away some distance and setting up a stone. each of them fired three shots at it. Dews had never seen weapon of that II odel and asked to be shown something of it's mechan- ism. Erickson said that he removed the maga zine which fits inside the handle. The magazine was empty and dickson believed that all the cartridges had been discharged. He had supposed that the magazine contained seven cartridges instead of eight and seven had been discharged.
 Erickson said that he "broke" the gun, that is, took the barrel and the handle apart. He was holding the handle in his right hand and the barrel in his left. He had explained to Dews how the gun was taken apart and then he prepared fer a further separation Of the parts of the barrel. The construc- ton of the Luger is peculiar in that the parts are all held together by pins in- stead of by screws. There was a pin at the end of the barrel nearest the handle which had 70 be removed and as it could not be taken hold of, it had to be shaken out.
 While this demonstration of the in- tricacies of the Luser was going on Dews was standing on the left of Erickson with the muzzle Of the bar rel pointed toward him. Suddenly there was a report ard instantly Dews ex- claimed that he had been shot. Brick son had felt no concussion and believ- ed that a shot had been fired from a distance. The report had rot seemed 1 loud and moreover he was certain that there were no unexploded cartridges in his vicinity. Dews began pulling at his shirt at the waistband of his trousers and began to, sink down. Erickson

WILLE0 ALL TO "NgLLlE BLY,"
The Once Famous Newspaper Woman
 Got Her Husbands Property.

A will purporting to have been made by Robert Seaman, president of the Iron Clad Manufacturing company and husband of Nellie Bly," one a famous newspaper sleuth and globe trotter, has been filed for probate. The will is dated November 29, 1897, and caused some comment because of its remark able difference from the will dated December A, 1895, which was filed for probate on June 16 last In the latter will Mrs. Elizaeth Cochrane Seaman, otherwise Nellie Bly," received only 9 legacy of $500, while the bulk of the large estate went to the other legatees, mainly descendants of Robert Seaman.
 The will filed by Robert W. Hardie as counsel for Mrs. Seaman. be- queathes all the testator's property, real and personal, to his wife, Eliza beth, absolutely.
 The prediction was made in the sur rogate's court that a severe contest

Seaman left very little property to De cared for by will. Before his death. Lawyer Hardie said, MT. Seaman had turned over his stock in the Iron Clad Manu- featuring company and nearly all his property to his wife, and she has it now.

Sunday Evening Song Ssrvios

At the Presbyterian church, Sunday evening, the Book of Ruth" will be presented in song by the choir. The music, like the scenes of the book, is full of tender love, pathos and rejoic- ing. The principal characters, Ruth, Naomi and Boaz, speak through the different soloists of the choir or, again, combine in duet or trio responding the one to the other. The various scenes of the book are strongly set forth by numerous choruses.
 This grand work, by A. R. Gaul, con- stitutes 80 pages of music and is givin in the hope that many who have never formed the habit of church attendance, because they imagine sermons to be uninteresting, will be stirred with de- sire to hear this sermon-a sermon in song.
 To aid in the understanding of thIs cantata, the pastor has announced for the morning service an explanation of the Book of Ruth" it's customs, his- tory and deeper meaning. The book itself should be read before attending either service.
